Hi again all.
I have booked my scan for tomorrow morning, and am very nervous. I have had a very paranoid weekend, and I'm really worried about the scan now. I'm terrified there won't be a heartbeat. Hurry up tomorrow!!!

Hi all - sorry for being so quiet. All is well just busy!

Now 11.5 weeks (yes the .5 counts to me!!!!) and 12 on Wednesday. Had first appt with ob a couple of weeks ago and she did a quick scan at that appt which was great and was able to tell me all looking great and that risk of miscarriage is now less than 1% which helped my confidence a lot to be honest.

I am still feeling worried at times but trying to remember the logic that the risk of loss is now so low. Next scan at next appt in 2 weeks.

Tilly - I just wanted to say I have gone with a private ob after much humming and ahhing and after the first visit, I have found it is already totally worth the money. It is a half hour drive for me but I am happy with that. She has reassured me a lot already, she has picked up I am a worrier and I know that I am in safe hands. Everyone is different but I also prefer the ob approach. All the best :-)

Hi everyone else :-)

Good luck for tmrw kellyd!! I bet today is crawling for you.

V girl yay for almost 12 weeks!!! I am also with an OB. I am a worrier the regular scans really keep my worry under control. It is just about breaking the bank, but for me personally it is worth it. In saying that, midwives are great and you can listen to the heartbeat regularly with them. I guess it all depends on what your concerns are and your personality type as to what works for you. Given my history we went with an OB for my DS and this time because of complications while pregnant with my DS.

A lady on my MTB board has lost her precious bubs! So sad Enjoy every moment ladies. I'm totally paranoid and so sad for our fellow member

Oh Peace, I just went and read your board - how heartbreaking!! That is exactly what happened with me when I lost M - I had to go through the induction and delivery after she died in utero. It is a terrible terrible thing

Peace, I am with you. Bloody scary that it happened so late and terribly sad.

Def has made me a little anxious and I was beginning to relax...told the staff at school today and applying for leave next week...argghhh...now feeling mega paranoid.

Am 15 weeks today so am a way off feeling any movement...and have been discharged from early pregancy clinic so no longer getting weekly scans...will be hanging out now for my next m/w appointment in 4 weeks to hear HB again.

Take care all

addison, If you need reassurance from your MW then ask if they can give a quick check with the Doppler for a peace of mind.

It's so terrifying. My husband was very blunt "Don't you dwell on this" he knows me too well. It's easy for me to be consumed by the loss of others. Poor Denz, she is just so living my nightmare I've held my friend's too small babies, lifeless bodies that were craved. My heart aches for all of us girls that have experienced loss and especially those who have lost babies in the second trimester and beyond, that is just so unfair

Sorry, I'm being an awful downer.
My little mini me has been moving since last night, getting some good movements and kicks in for a change. I was missing the feeling, I thought that the baby had turned or the placenta had moved down the front. But she/he's back and going nuts. Clever little thing

My heart is aching for Denz right now too. Miscarriage is so unfair. I have been super paranoid lately (hence my dash to the local maternity unit to see if there was a HB), and still am. I just want my anatomy scan to be over with, so it's another milestone out of the way and another step closer to this baby being out.

I need to feel movement, it's cruel that I haven't yet and had by now with the boys.

Hi all,
so sad to hear of somebody losing their baby so late into the pregnancy. That's just horrendous. The poor lady.

I had my scan today, and it was all good. I'm 7 wks and 4 days, due 17th June. She thought there may be twins to start, but then concluded that there was only one, but I could see she wasn't entirely convinced. So now it's waiting for the 12 week scan!!

Good news on the scan Kelly.

Was very sad to hear about Denz. : (

I agree NImbus, just taking this one milestone at a time.

Feeling more paranoid than ever here, and feeling just so sad for Denz.

Sorry Kelly, meant to say fab news re your scan, and 12 weeks will be exciting huh!

OMG poor Denz and hugs Peace It's hrad not to dwell on things like this ah?

KellyD - yah!!!! You are due the same day as me! Awesome news from your scan.....hmmm maybe twins ah? I keep dreaming about twins!

I did another Bt yesterday and got the result of 81 000 so still on the 50% line and all good. I kinda knew that as I feel yuck! Yah for MS though.

Nimbus - for feeling paranoid. Not cool huh?

Hi girls, well I'm really worried. Even though they found a healthy heartbeat last week (at 6 weeks 5 days), HCG was only 28000.

I had been tracking before that to the 50th percentile, which meant I should have been more like 40,000 at 6 weeks 5 days.

Plus with the perisac bleed (haematoma), I'm not feeling confident at all now

My worries have really increased now, as a friend has been getting monitored by FAW with HCGs and even after 6 weeks, FAW seem to think it is very important to track exactly to the normal percentiles.

I see MissyMoo is trackign perfectly, plus the other two I know. I'm the only one that has veered off the percentile curve, so I'm pretty worried

I have a scan on Monday. Should i be steeling myself for the worst? My bleeding has settled and I'm pretty nauseous, but maybe this is left over "products of conception"??

Sorry about this huge me post whinge, I'm just horribly worried

Hi Tilly,
I really hope everything is OK. I have everything crossed for you...can you change your scan until Friday?? Then you won't have to worry over the weekend?? Or what about getting another hCG done tomorrow? Then you will know a bit more?? Hopefullky you can get some answers soon. Big hugs.

Hugs Tilly, I really hope everything is OK. My hCG's veered off with my 5th pregnancy, and he is now about to turn two. So I have everything crossed for you.

thanks! I don't know whether to get another hcg test again , as if it is inconclusive, I still have to wait til the scan on monday.

I can't get an earlier scan, they're booked solid

not sure what to do. the doctors told me my hcg was fine, it's me whose worrying..

ps i don't think its good, just read ofa woman who appeared to doubling rates like mine (about 4.3 days) at the same stage and she went on to miscarry

going to bite the bullet and get an hcg tomorrow. Will deal with the results when I've got them but inconclusive will be bad...as I will then worry myself sick all weekend

Yuck yuck !!!!

They don't keep doubling Tilly, they do slow down. It's scary though eh.
