Yay! I think i can finally join this thread 'officially', dare not to join earlier on as I just had a miscarriage in end of August so i felt very insecure and worried this time. We didn't plan for this baby, we actually plan to TTC in Dec during our trip. wow then bb comes to our lives! At first we were thinking, see? so silly right! the trip how? but then secretly we were both hoping that my AF would not report and this pregnancy is for REAL. I tested positive in Nov, also dare not to join this thread cuz what if same thing happens again? So i only told my friends in the miscarriage group, they really help me a lot, always being so encouraging and positive.
13/11 tested positive, was rather worried than happy.. so on 16th i went to KKH 24 hrs hoping to make sure everything is fine, sigh the gynae said no point doing V scan as we wouldn't be seeing anything, then i made another appointment with Dr. Irene Chua at KKH TPS, earliest would be on 1st Dec!! How to wait? but no choice..
My anxiety was killing me, everytime when i wiped after passing urine, I was so afraid to see spotting. When i had cramping, I would think what happened?! Was my uterus contracting then bb would be expelled out?
So on 26th I went to KKH again, this time the Gynae helped me to do a V scan, can see the gestational sac and egg yolk! I was sooooo happy as last time i wasn't even this far. The sac was 7mm. Ever since then, everynight before I sleep, I will imagine that bb's heartbeat is pumping strongly and bb is growing well. Tell myself that I shall not be fear but have faith, and enjoy the pregnancy. Leave everything to God. I just need to believe that I can make it this time.
This morning was my very 1st appointment with Dr. Irene Chua, she said that based on my 26th scan, we would not be able to see bb yet, water sac will usually grow 1mm per day, 7mm(26th) + 5mm (5 days) = 12mm only. She said that usually when the sac is about 2cm then we can see the fetus. But still we proceeded with tummy scan. She was quite surprised and said "Wow i can see the fetus! see? and even the heartbeat!"
I was soooooooooooooooo happy and relieved!! Words cannot describe how i feel, i just find that children are such a wonderful gift from God and it's just so precious. She said that it's growing fast and now the pregnancy week matches my LMP, which is 6 weeks 3 days (Ann, very near to yours!) The sac grows 2mm per day to catch up for the past 5 days! now is 19mm.
I am grateful to everything i have now. I treasure every single day whereby i don't have spotting nor cramp. So now i am still on Duphaston 3 times a day, and just folic acid.
I will pray for everyone here, that we will have a smooth pregnancy, and bb is whole and healthy.
Is anyone taking prenatal vitamins? Any good recommendation?
I feel hungry easily, can feel my stomach grinding. If i don't eat, then i will feel like vomitting. Is this considered as MS?
Gynae said due to my m/c history, she will do another scan next week, now bb is 4.6cm, bb should grow another 8-10mm by next appoinment. then before my trip can do another scan, so basically can see bb each week yippeeeee...
