Pregnant again after MC

Hi guys,

Sorry haven't checked in, have been at work today... Thurs, Fri and Sat i do 8.30am to 7.00pm so really just work, sleep and eat for me! Not stressful or hard work... just looooong day.

Lady at RPL clinic said only time they could do scans there is Thursday 1-3pm so no way I can make that. Think I mentioned, being a new job I don't want to ask... always have in the back of my mind that if I were to m/c I'd need time off so don't want to ask for this... the harsh reality of having m/c's is I tend to think so practically and cut off the emotion!
So, she has sent a scan form to Horizon Radiology, DH will phone and make and appt with them for me. Probably for next Monday (4th?) as I have Sun and Mon's off. Hate that place, was hoping to avoid going there - haven't ever had a positive visit there! (Not the place or staff BTW, just circumstance). But going to think positive - it can only help.

Kalika - try not to panic about symptoms coming and going - apparently it's very normal. Unfortunately for us we'll always overthink every symptom, or lack of; I think.

Younginin, great your DP can come to your appt, my DH is a secondary teacher and it's his first day back at school Mon 4th so no way at all he'll be able to come - nevermind.

Hope you lovely ladies are having a wonderful weekend xx

I can't shake this feeling.. I don't even want to put it to words.

The silly thing is I don't even have any real reason for feeling like this. It's just the paranoid beast in me rearing it's head!

I know totally what you mean about not wanting to tell too many people. The DAY after we found out we were expecting again a friend wouldn't take no for an answer when she offered me a wine at my own house and basically forced an answer out of me. I was really annoyed as we were still letting the new info sink in ourselves and I wasn't ready to tell anyone!

And you're right, those who have breezed through pregnancy before have no idea how overwhelming this anxiety is

Of course they will younginin and if they have you up about it I'd be pretty blunt that's it's your own business and nobody else's until you decide to tell!

Just went through all my dates from the last pregnancy and tomorrow's date last time was when I first recorded spotting. That is if my dates are even on target

Thanks.. Yes everyone who has had a MC before says it's quite stressful getting to that same point.

Had my results back from this mornings test and I was a bit excited and didn't write it down but it was around 25000 so feeling really good Yay!

Thanks, managed to keep my mind off it most of the day! Just not during toilet stops, you'll know what I mean lol

Sorry to hear that Gracia :-( try take some time out to do something special for yourself in honour of this special day. A manicure, an icecream at lunchtime, anything you want really!

That sounds nice!

I'm doing ok. Not excited as such. Haven't bought anything yet and probably won't until we see a heartbeat or even later

Hi Gracia. Hugs to you, must be a hard day, I like Kalikas suggestion of doing something for yourself. Im not looking forward to those milestones.

Thanks redtulip and younginin.

Baking was relaxing/calming until I burnt the last 5 cookies lol.

I think now is time for me to starting looking forward :) I'm so excited to meet our little girl. I've had a really smooth pregnancy so far (other than morning sickness for 18 weeks and sinus issues):)

Take care and try to relax and not stress in the early stages of your pregnancy (as hard as it is)
