This weekend has been a real rollercoaster ride emotionally for me. At one point i was almost convinced that my baby had died and i was going to have another miscarriage. Then i was all positive and convinced that Neil and I would get our rainbow baby. There is also a large amount of didbelief mixed in there too. Disbelief that i am expecting. Disbelief that we will get to hold a baby at the end of the pregnancy.
Deep down inside i have a very good feeling about this pregnancy, but i really don't know anyone who goes through a pregnancy thinking the worst. I'm really trying not to get my hopes up and make lots of plans just in case we have another miscarriage. But i really can't help it. I'm just so excited by it!!! but it still isn't real to me yet. it probably wont until we go for our first scan.
My biggest fear is going to the 12 weeks scan and for the sonographer to say those words "i'm sorry but you're having a missed miscarriage." and for us to be where we were last year with loosing Momo.
This pregnancy is different from the last one. I have morning sickness (well all day sickness as it should be called) which i never had to the same level as i do now. It's not uncommon for me to go the whooooooole day feeling queasy. Mornings are not so bad, it's usually later afternoon that i start to feel worse. I have really bad heartburn too. But because i take omeprazole that seems to keep it under control. when i ran out of it last week i really suffered. i had heartburn/acid indigestion ALL day and it made me feel sick. but then again thats normal for me if i don't take my omeprazole then i get really bad heartburn/acid indigestion. Last week the specialist decided to take me off my Beta Blockers. so i was to reduce the amount over about a week or so. but by thursday i was sooooooo poorly, really bad headache, being sick, really sick in the car and i just felt rubbish. so on the friday i just took the full amount of pill and felt better by saturday. no headaches saturday hooray! and by sunday i felt like myself again. just a little bit of sickness during the day, but nothing i can't live with for a bit! I think that with my last pregnancy, i think not long after i found out i was pg i think Momo died, if he wasn't when i tested. But i think i was a bit further on than i thought.
The GP who used to be a gynocologist said that we should just carry on as normal at home. if we were going to have a miscarriage then there is nothing that he or we can do (which is very true.) so it's back to normal at home.

Now I'm pregnant again and it was around my 22 week scan that I felt I could get excited and actually enjoy this pregnancy, now I'm almost 36 weeks and just ready for this kid to make his appearance. Sending good vibes your way and wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy :) |
 | Comment from kaylia2oo5 » Posted Aug. 27, 2012 6:02am I had a miscarriage last year, and I thought the same thing right up until I got past 13w. I had a scare at 6w2d, where I had sharp stabbing pains in my right side, and was spotting. I went to Outpatients, and they did an emergency ultrasound and everything was fine. I'll be 29w tomorrow, and my little guy is doing great :) I think we all worry and are scared (especially us Mama's who have had miscarriages before) at the first part of our pregnancies, but that is normal. Best of luck! Happy & Healthy 9 Months!! |
