SamiJayne Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 For those that remember that my baby died in November last year, I saw the doctor/gyno. And they don't know why it happened. But will take better care of me in my next pregnancy. Also measure my cirvix, and give me "the stitch" if needed. Which may be sooner than I thought! I was positive I was not pregnant. Yet today I did a test. And saw another line. Praying for a healthy brother or sister for Sophie Alice xxx Scared out of my wits, not even told my partner yet. God, I can't get my head around it. I've already made a promise to myself, that if I want to do anything with this baby I'll do it. Like with Sophie I wanted to read to her while she was in my tummy, "Dear Zoo" but I was waiting for the 24th week so she'd recognise my voice. But stuff that now. If I feel the urge to read to my baby, I'll read to it, so what if they can't hear the story. If anything bad happens then I won't feel this regret of not doing it. I'm also thinking of buying "Dear Zoo" and wrapping it up for valentines day for my partner. as a way of telling him. So scared and excited. Sorry for the mad post, but
top bloke Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Congratulations and the very very best of luck.. TB
BellaDonna Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Congrats! I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy. Since you've had a previous loss, you will probably be watched very closely by your doctors (i.e. have more prenatal visits, etc), which will likely be comforting since you can ensure that everything is ok. Take it one day at a time, and don't be too scared to let yourself feel the joy and excitement of pregnancy. Wishing you lots of baby glue, Bella

jengh Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Congratulations! I wish you all the best in this pregnancy. I think the book idea is a GREAT way to tell your SO.
Hope75 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Congratulations! I'll be sending lots of sticky vibes your way and remember that most women go on to have healthy full term pregnancies after a loss. ((BIG HUGS))
rikka Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 That is so exciting! Congratulations!!!!! Sending positive vibes your way.
TheSmilingTurnip Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Hey congrats!!! I'm so happy for you!!! You should DEFINITELY follow your instincts while pregnant; after all, why not? Enjoy!
Anna. Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 That's awesome! I am very happy for you. And I think the book/present idea would be an excellent way to tell your SO!
SamiJayne Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 i found out on friday after going to the doctors, that I'm 6 weeks =D Bit worried as my gyno/baby doctor didn't write to my normal GP like he said he would, to let him know when I got pregnant again to let him know so I can get seen at 9 weeks. I've only 3 weeks to go, and My GP did say he'd write after I explained what the gyno/baby doctor said. Should I ring the gyno or am I worrying too much?

I've only 3 weeks to go, and My GP did say he'd write after I explained what the gyno/baby doctor said. Should I ring the gyno or am I worrying too much? I'm a bit confused- what doctor did you see, a general practitioner? I know where I'm from we call our gyn/OB to set up an appt. when we find out we are pregnant, and especially if you lost a pregnancy before they may want to see you early? Why does your GP have to contact your gyn? Is it some sort of insurance thing?
SamiJayne Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 I don't know about other countries, but here in England. My Doctor (Normal Gp that you would see about everything) would contact the midwife to let her know I'm pregnant. She would then contact me, and arange to see me when I'm 11-12 weeks. But since Sophie died, I'll have a Midwife, and a Gyno/babydoctor. Not really sure of his prof to be honest, but he's like a midwife/ultrasound person all in one that I've figured out up to now. He's called Dr Davies, and he said he'd write to my normal Doctor, explaining when I became pregnant to let him know, as he wants to see me at 9 weeks. But my normal Doctor never received any letter. My normal doctor said he'd write anyhow, after what i'd explained. But I'm not sure if i believe any of them anymore due to the first letter not being sent. My partner says I should take a deep breath and wait a week then ring to see if Dr Davies received the letter. Rather than me ringing him to tell him i'm pregnant =P Hope it makes more sense Hope. Sorry for the confussion xxx
TheSmilingTurnip Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 SamiJayne, I think you should do whatever *you* feel is right about letting your dr know. There is nothing wrong with that.
Anna. Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I agree. You are pregnant. I know I got on my doctors' nerves. But it doesn't matter when it's the health of your baby you are concerned about.
Hope75 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Is there any reason you can't call and see if they can see you earlier? Do you know what the cause of your late miscarriage was with your last baby? That may allow you to be seen earlier.
SamiJayne Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 She wasn't a misscarriage I was told. They told me because she was born alive and lived for 3 hours shes a neo-natal death. They never did find out why it happened. There just going to take better care of me. And will measure my cirvix. They think it might be because of that.
