SapphireNoir10 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 I do understand what you mean But when your trying for a baby and your period doesn't come or your not sure when it will come due to iffy cycles I personally think it's good to know early so I can stop all the the things I shouldn't be doing when pregnant. Plus with my miscarriage I knew something was off as I was two days late and then had the worst cramps and bleeding of my life. Even if I hadn't known I was pregnant I would have known something was amiss and it's a good job I did due to infection etc. I wish I hadn't known about it though. I agree with that. Link to comment

I think all will go well this time. I really do. So many women go on to have healthy babies after. My ex SIL had 3 healthy girls in a row after a miscarriage. I agree though you should know because miscarriages can be dangerous. If you don't expel everything you can get a serious infection and die. Or if you are pregnant and not know people could be drinking and doing whatever, so while painful and heart wrenching it is better to know. But I think all will go well this time honey. Hugs. Congrats Asti!! Glad to know your pregnancy is going well. Link to comment
_Asti_ Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I had more than enough negative thoughts. I was the same thinking "what makes me so special that I can have a successful pregnancy..." And just assumed I would miscarry again. My friend had 3 in a row and is finally having a successful pregnancy so I just thought I'd be in the same boat as her... With no real reason! Even when I ended up In emerge at the hospital for terrible cramping (I had a cyst erupt) and the heart rate was good and told my chance of miscarriage was 5% I just assumed I'd be in those 5%. I never really acknowledged this pregnancy till I had my 12 week appt to hear the heartbeat (and the dr couldn't find it and sent me for an emergency ultrasound!!) I assumed that I'd be one of those unlucky few to have a silent miscarriage and need a D/C. My poor husband was begging me to be positive for once and I just couldn't be! I just couldn't help but be "realistic" and just felt that bad things can happen more than once! Link to comment
Seraphim Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I understand completely. My first pregnancy was a successful one. Then I had four miscarriages in a row in 10 years. Now I am too old to conceive. Link to comment
SapphireNoir10 Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Well guys In 45 hours my hcg went from 14DPO : 135 16DPO: 470! So that seems good to me Got my first scan at 6 weeks 3 days on the 4th January and then another one at 8 weeks. Thank you for the kind words and stories guys. It's nice to know I'm not alone in feeling so negative about this. I just don't want to get my hopes up. *hugs* to you Victoria. Life has tested you so much but you are one of the nicest people I've met on here and a lovely person all round. Link to comment

SapphireNoir10 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Well I had my Scan today and baby was measuring 3 days behind what I think my dates are but the ultrasound tech said it all looked great and the size of the sac matched up with the size of the baby well. She also said there is a 7 day +/- error margin with early ultrasound due to the tiny measurements There was also a strong little heartbeat of 121bpm and I'm about 6 weeks Link to comment

SapphireNoir10 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Had another scan today. I got it wrong lol. Last week baby was measuring 5 weeks 6 days when it should have been 6 weeks 3 days with a heartbeat of 121bpm I went back today and baby had grown by 9 days in a week and was measuring 7weeks1day so only 2 days behind instead of 4 and heartrate was 145bpm and the tech said everything looked fab and at this point theres only a 5% chance of miscarriage Link to comment

SapphireNoir10 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Thank you. It's starting to feel a bit more real. I've got a scan at 9 weeks then 12 weeks to keep checking everything is progressing and I will of course keep you guys updated. I'm also thinking about keeping this babys gender a surprise. Last time I found out at 16 weeks (early as possible) that we were having a boy. This time I'm thinking I'd like a surprise but I don't know if I'm patient enough. Did you wait Victoria?

Seraphim Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 My son would never give us the money shot. I think I had six or seven scans with my first son and he would never show us what he was. He would either turn his back or cross his legs. Lol. And to this day he is extremely modest. Lol. We called him mystery baby. I had to do everything in green and yellow because I didn't know what he was until he was born. Link to comment
SapphireNoir10 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Awh that is adorable and hilarious! He obviously wanted to surprise you. I think I will wait. I have tonnes of boy clothes packed away from my son if it is a boy. A lot of people I know took a blue babygrow and a pink one to the hospital when they didnt' find out. I think I will try and wait but I'm a fairly impatient person so I might give in. Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 L is very superstitious (or cautious I guess) and when we do get pregnant he doesn't want us to find the sex out. Not sure I can hold out but I'll try! So happy to hear everything is going wonderful Sapphire. Link to comment
SapphireNoir10 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 I have the opposite problem my husband is desperate to find out! I'd love one of each but I really don't mind what I have as long as it's healthy although he has his heart set on another boy. Thank you guys. You've been such a valuable support system through everything. Don't know what I would have done without ENA Link to comment
annie24 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hugs!!! Wishing you guys the best!! Link to comment
SapphireNoir10 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Small update Had a scan today at 9 weeks 3 days. Baby was measuring spot on with a heart rate of 169bpm and she said it all looked great Heres a little pic. She was joking the yolk sac looked like a halo lol Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I am so happy to hear that everything is going well and to get a peek at your little one. I could be wrong or course, but I just have a hunch its a girl. How are you feeling these days? Link to comment
SapphireNoir10 Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 I'm ok. A little more relaxed and trying to just trust my body to get on with it. I've been quite poorly the last couple of weeks as I seem to get every bug going. I have no immune system once I'm pregnant. Also got bad morning/allday sickness this time which I didn't have with my son. But I'm seeing it that symptoms are all good signs and trying not complain and just feel blessed really. I would love a little girl. Obviously I want the baby to be healthy but I can't help but think one of each would be lovely. Thanks for asking Link to comment
