We saw a heartbeat!
Well, We saw a heartbeat today - it was only a fluttering on the screen but it was so amazing. With our previous 2 mcs, we never got to the stage of seeing a heartbeat as our twins were mmc'ed before 12 week scan and 2nd mc happened naturally early on.
Was shown today how to self inject and I will be doing this daily for the term of the pregnancy due to the blood condition they have discovered. My consultant was really positive about it all, but I did quiz him about the risk of mc, even though a heartbeat has been seen. He says the risk has dropped significantly now so there is around an 80% chance of a successful prgnancy, bearing in mind my history etc. I'm really not focussing on that other 20% for now as we're so excited. But please tell me to keep hold of this PMA should I start worrying because of twinges/cramps etc!
I'm about 6 weeks now. I'm going to make my ticker later... so excited!
Hoping that you're all well today.

Take care xxxxxxxxxxx
I remember when you mc and you sounded understandably down so it is fab news that they found out the problem and you saw a heartbeat today. I remember when I saw my baby's heart flickering on the screen at 6+5 weeks and it was fantastic knowing he was OK. All the best of luck for you but I don't think u need it! Lol! xxxx
i had a mc last sept day before my 12 week scan. im now pg again and was able to go for an early scan at 9 weeks, after seeing nothing in the last one i was so relived to see a little heart beat!
i worried over every twinge/cramp ect but im now 22 weeks and so far so good!
hope everything goes well for you chick
