MSE Pregnancy Club III

LP - ((huggs) first of all

have you had any bleeding or anything of that nature? the only reason i say that is becuase 'i' would have thought that if something was happening then you would have bleeding or spotting (which of course does not always mean what you think)

as for your symptoms disappearing, it can happen i believe. i know i kept forgetting i was pregnant early on becuase i didn't have any strong symptoms until the feeling sick kicked in.

as you know i am on my first so this is all new to me but i didn't want to leave your post unanswered. others will be a lot more help than me.

take care

Angelfairy,
Many thanks for your reply. I have had no bleeding or severe cramping.
What I'm worried about, I guess is a MMC.

It's comforting to read that you briefly forgot in early pregnancy, for I did this yesterday... for the first time. And although I found it quite funny at the time, it terrifies me now.

Thanks again,
LP

Pickle... Welcome to motherhood... It starts with worrying about this little bundle of cells growing inside you and it never stops! I've had episodes of bleeding with this one and the first time it happened DH asked me if I still felt pregnant... I couldn't remember feeling pregnant before the bleeding... Just felt sick... It does come and go and so do the painfull boobies... You'll probably wake up tomorrow unable to cross your arms and dry heaving all over the place...

I think not having a window into the womb is a bit of a design fault really... Would save us a lot of anxious times...

Oh, Pickle xxx

I hardly felt pregnant at all this time around as I was sick as a pig with Poppy. It really does take time to sink in that 'yes, you are pregnant' and until that happens I think many of us are in disbelief that there is a baby growing in our tum.

I'm sure everything will be just fine (I had incredible bleeding and cramps when I m/c) but do you have a number for the MW that you could call? Just to put your mind at rest?

Thinking of you.

I know exactly how you are feeling but I have found that my boobs don;t always hurt, and I don;t always have that stretching feeling either, but it usually comes back the next day.

Having said that, I knew last time i had lost the baby but I think we do worry a lot and read stuff into things when it's not really there.

I had a whole day when I had no symptoms - no tiredness, no sore boobs, no sickness, nothing, but it came back the next day. Try and relax and see how you feel later or tomorrow.

If it is a mmc there is nothing oyu can do until the scan anyway. Try and stay positive and don;t worry till you've had a few days in a row without symptoms.

Sometimes I think our bodies like to scare us!

Thank you ladies,
Krystal - your post was fantastic and managed to reduce me to tears.
It's a nervous time, and you're right, we do have a design fault.

SB - thanks for your kind words. I don't yet have a midwife. I went to Dr's last week and awaiting the details to follow. My cousin's wife is a midwife and she has offered help should I need it.
She is also mother to 2, so I am about the text her.

Thank you again

Oh, AF, I forgot to mention last night that I asked the sonograper about the cord and she said she could clearly see it leading into the placenta from baby's tum. She said it does depend on how baby is lying as to what they can see so problems are not always noticed.

That reminds me, I meant to say in all the cord discussion yesterday that I had the cord round my neck in the womb and I'm OK!

My mum knew something was wrong but they kept telling her to shut up because I hadn;t engaged - of course I hadn't, the cord was round my neck stopping me.

It wasn;t until she yelled blue murder that they had a look and apparently suddenly it was actions stations, doctors and nurses and panic because I was struggling. I nearly died, but I'm here to tell the tale!

I don;t think the cord round the neck is as scary as it sound TBH as long as the MW or doctor actually realises and does something about it!

thanks for that skintchick.

how did your mum know that the cord was around your neck in the womb?

Fritha, did you go the Baby Show in Manchester? I couldn't make it as I wasn't feeling to well (even though we had prebooked! :rolleyes:).

We didn't go either I'm afraid, Celia's (and consequently I've) had thrush (and trapped wind (her not me!) and growth spurts so she feeding pretty much constantly so we didn't go. I didn't fancy going all that way and then spending the whole day in the breasyfeeding area! Next year though! It's a shame you were all poorly, but in theory you'll be fine next year as you (probably) won't be pregnant anymore :-)
