WE HAVE A BABY WITH A HEARTBEAT!!!!

imageimageimageimage

I cannot believe it!!!

We were both prepared for it to be bad news today and we were so nervous sitting in the waiting room. The sonographer was lovely and I just burst into tears when she said 'there's a baby with a heartbeat'! I had been lying there with my eyes closed holding onto my braclet that I wear in memory of our 3 angels, hoping silently and wishing for everything to be ok. There was a student nurse in there too and she started crying too!

The baby is in the right place and measures the right size and had a flickering heartbeat which was amazing to watch, Then it started flipping around because I was crying and shaking so much!

She said that she couldn't see anything untoward anywhere and there is no sign of bleeding anywhere in my uterus. They aren't concerned about the slow rising HCG either and said that everyone is different and sometimes womens levels do strange things.

I know it's still early days but we have never got this far before - we've never seen a baby on a scan before, let alone one with a heartbeat! We have 3 scan piccies (gave one to Mum) which I am going to frame! I will try and scan one in later.

I am soooo happy image

Thank you all SO much for your amazing support and kind messages - it really has kept me going these last 2 weeks.

Love NN xxx

  • That is absolutely fantastic news NN! I am so pleased for you and your OH! Congratulations!
    xx
  • It seems like this is the time for miracles. I still have brown discharge myself but seeing that scan on Monday with a heart beat certainly has made me more positive. Congrats on the great result and I hope we both make it through to happy healthy full term babies. I am so looking forward to having another one its not funny. When will they scan you again I get another one on June 15th.
  • oh thats just the bestest news, im so happy for you, i couldnt log on yesterday as hubby was hogging the lap top all night, and ive been anxious to see everything was ok,

    well done again, and big big hugs xx
  • Thank you all so much ladies (((((hugs)))))

    I am still in so much shock! It feels so surreal....I keep thinking there's a baby with a heartbeat growing inside me!!

    I really do believe that all your positive thoughts and prayers and kind words helped SO much and I cannot thank you all enough. Your support and kindness is so overwhelming.

    I have left a message for the midwife and hopefully I will get another reassurance scan at around 8 weeks. As soon as the recurrent mc clinic found out about my scan yesterday they said I couldn't have one there anymore!! image But if I can't get another one on the NHS we'll pay for a private one in a few weeks.

    Loads of love to you all, NN xxx

  • Hiya,
    I've been reading your posts for the last few days and I am so happy for you. I too had 3 miscarriages before I had my daughter and just like you every scan I'd ever had before her there wasn't even a baby never mind a heartbeat. Reading this post brought a tear to my eye as I remember the terror at waiting for the scan and the sheer joy from seeing the little heartbeat. I really am so chuffed for you and your OH and hope the rest of your pregnancy isn't as stressful xxxxx
  • Oh Im so pleased for you!!! I got my BFP on Tuesday so we will be bump buddys!!! Im only 4 +2 but Im so hopeful that this bean sticks. You deserve your beautiful baby, congratulations!

  • Whoohoo! That's such great news hun. I was thinking about you when I was on hol and hoping it would be good news. Am so so happy for you. I told you it would be ok and to not fret too much about the hcg levels! The consultant I saw said he wished they didn't test them as they don't really tell you that much (unless they really barely go up or go down) and just worry people more.

    I'm so glad you saw hb. It's so amazing isn't it. Fingers crossed you will be making it all the way with this pg!

    Big hugs

  • Thats brill news NN,

    Congratulations - its such an amazing feeling and so emotional! XX
  • You've made me cry again!!!I ve been there hunny and it is hard as hell to believe it will happen but I've been through exactly the same experiences of heartbreak as you and I have just had my second child. So please please try to enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. PS When I was pregnant with my daughter I paid for 4 private scans so I know its easier said then done !!!xxxxx
  • Thank you snappyloz - and sorry for making you cry!!!!

    It's so good to hear from others who have been there (though I really wish you didn't know this heartbreak too) and now have children. It really does give me hope and faith to stay strong. As you know, it is so difficult at times to believe that everything could possibly be ok after having 3 mc's.

    Sending (((hugs)))

    Love NN xxx

  • I'm so pleased for you! We were the same, waiting for the scan after discovering a MMC last time round, don't want to imagine how hard it is to lose 3 :cry: I'm now 17 weeks, still scared and paranoid, all the medical evidence says everything is fine, my mind still can't believe it...! Here's hoping you follow me and many others down this slowly more believable and exciting route!
  • Yep, I'm now crying too! That's such good news! Massive hugs!!! x x x

  • I am really chuffed for you as well NN. Please take extra special care of yourself, you deserve every second of this sense of wonder and awe at the heartbeat. I had a MMC last year and am only 4+4 this time around but hope to get a heartbeat just like yours very soon. Hugs xx
