2nd set of bloods taken today. Got to hear the heart beat which was absolutely fantastic it has also put my mind at ease at bit more as well. Can't wait til the next scan at the end of this month to see it again.

Have got an appointment for my second set of bloods to be taken for downs test on 1st July , Haven't even thought as far as the 20 week scan yet. I don't think it's fully registered yet even tho i've had 2 scans already, i still have the worry in the back of my mind that somethings gonna happen. We're don't want to find out the sex it will be a nice surprise at the end as long as its healthy thats he main thing. My bump is starting to take a bit of shape but can't wait for it to get bigger.

Glad the scan went well and everything is ok!

Have you got a date for your 20 week scan? Are you finding out the sex?

Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy! Make sure you let us no how you get on with everything!

Well the scan couldn't have gone better the most important thing the heartbeat was there which was absolutely fanastic . Don't think it was to impressed about being looked at because it was having a good old fidget , although we did get a wave. They've now given me a due date of 18th Dec which is better than the original which was 23 dec a bit to close to christmas for my liking. Fingers crossed that the rest carries on as it should .

Might try and upload the scan photo not quite sure how successful i will be though

Thank you

I am glad that I decided to post my concerns , what I have read has really helped a lot . It's nice to know that there if i have a worry I know where I can go to talk to people who have been through. 

Everything seems to be going ok so far , I have my dating scan on Tuesday so everything crossed I will hopefully be having a slightly different christmas this year

Hi don't worry about the cysts they should absorb later in the pregnancy, i too have had one cyst in my first pregnancy and this pregnancy now and apparently all it does is assist the pregnancy hormones wise so take it as a good thing. Good luck and wish you all the best

Hi sweet, not sure why I came on this forum....I used to come on here quite a bit when I was pg.  Im so sorry for the loss of your first but I just wanted to share my story to hopefully reassure you that your little one has every chance of sticking.....

We first started trying in Aug 2005, I was 34 and thought I would get pg staright away.  Oh how naive I was!  After finally falling pg in the following April, our joy lasted literally days as I bled really heavily and lost it.  Gutted, we kept trying, my 36th B'day came and went then again in Oct 2006 I was delighted to find I'd fallen pg again.  Mother nature was particulalry cruel this time and she let me keep this one for a little bit longer, I was 7 weeks when I started bleeding and again we lost that one too.  Devasted, we contacted a Gaenycologist who had been a family friend and investigations started.  Nothing untoward was wrong however I was told that when I fell pg again I was to book into see him straight away!  Just like you I was so worried about my age creeping into the late 30's and found myself wishing I'd done things earlier as I so wanted 2 babies!  Anyway, after doing a pg test the following March (2007 now!)  the "pregnant" showed up and immediately I felt sick!  I just couldn't possibly go thru all that again.  I called the Gaeny who amde an appointment and at 5 weeks I got the first glimps of the little blob that we so desperately wanted to stick.  He prescibed me progesterone and asprin and every other week I went for a scan desperately hoping the little heart beat they'd seen on scan number 2 would still be pumping away.  AND each time it was!  As I got nearer my 12 weeks scan I found myself daring to believ that this one was going to stay.

I suppose the rest they say is history.........................we were blessed with little Archie who arrived on 26th Novemeber last year.  I celebrate my 37th birthday in two weeks time but feel like a new person!  In fact your due date is very close to what mine was last year!  Possibly Dec?

Any way, I just wanted to wish you all the best with your pg and enjoy every minute of it.  I kow its hard not to relax until you get passed your 12 weeks, but please remember that many women who mc go on to have healthy babies.

Take care

Hey

Had an early scan yesterday at 8 weeks baby was there and more importantly a heart beat. They also noticed some cysts on my ovaries , they didn't seem to concerned  with them . Having never been told about these before , i don't know how common they are and if they would cause problems durin my pregnancy , yet another worry . Fingers crossed the next scan at 12 weeks will find everything still going ok and that little heart beat even stronger

thank u for yours words of support , it is nice to know that  there is alwats someone around who understands what you've through

 For the past 3 days i have been suffering with a stomach bug , as long as i keep up my fluids i should be ok. I hope its not the start of a down hill run .

sorry to hear about ur loss.i had a miscariage last may at 9 and a half weeks it is a very hard thing to go through.im pregnant again now im 16+5 days and i’m happy and scared at the same time so it’s normal to feel the way u r.all u can do is take 1 day at a time.i hope everything goes well for u this time around.

im so sorry for your loss . I sufferd a stillbirth at 32 weeks last november and me and bf knew the right thing for us was to get pregnant again. I am now nearly 17 weeks and I was terrified of the 12 week scan thinkin that they wouldn't find a heartbeat etc but luckily enough they did and the baby is so far very healthy.Im still worried but im trying to think posotif as worrying will not help this baby.

What happend to you is terrible and hard for anyone to deal with.But try to think positif and get throu this as best as u can.

I wish u all the luck with this prengnacy and hope it all goes well for you! If you ever want to talk just message me or if youve got msn you could add me Mizz_Kirsti16@hotmail.co.uk

hi

i'm new to all this, i found out last october i was pregnant and oh what a shock that was , everything seemed to be going ok . i went to my first san at 12 weeks to be told they couldn't find a heartbeat . it took me a while to get over , it wasn't helped by te fact there were a lot of other women pregnant around me and all due with in a few months of each other.

i have now found out i am pregnant again about 5 weeks , when i found out i was so scared that the same thing is going to happening again , as i'm not the youngest at 36. this should be a happy time for me but the doubt in the back of my mind that i might never get to be a mum still manages to find its way through . the idea of it has started the tears off as i'm typing. if thats a could sign thinks will be different this time then bring on the floods.
