Scared and Happy!!!!

[JuniorMinime]

Hi everyone,

My name is Becs and I live on the Gold Coast and last year my little angel Ethan went to heaven in October he was 15 weeks old. Then in May this year I had another miscarriage and lost that little one (it was really early though). I went to the doctor yesterday and found out that I am pregnant and to come back in a months time to check how I am .

We don't know how far I am cause I stopped the counting and decided if it happened it happened, you know what I mean? Well I am really happy and I have quite a calming feeling like everything is going to be okay!! But deep down I am really scared that something (anything) could happen. Knowing my past I just want to be looked after by the doctors. I could go back to my OB (he's a private one) but that means a lot of out of pocket expenses, but I suppose I should for peace of mind hey?

I have noticed though that with private they are very into the 12 and 18 week scan and if theres an abnormality the amnio and CVS (which is what I had and is a possibility that it caused the death). But in public they are very laid back. Can anyone help me or give me some suggestions please?

You can email here or on my other one which is becstacy69@hotmail.com I would love to hear from anyone that has gone through something similar or that can give advice.

Ta
Becs
Ethan (my little angel)

bec if you like you can ring public hospital were your planing to have bubs get put through to anti natal clinic and ask about obs tell them your pass probs and they can tell you which ob and book appointment then go see gp and get referal in that obs name that way you only see him or her it wont cost u a cent thats what i do hope this helps oh but that ob wont deliver baby but you will get top nocth care hope this helps ive done this for my last 4p/gs and would never go back to midwifes clinics im not alloud to anyway

Hey becs...Sorry to hear your story:kiss: ..Understand your pain.

If you decide that you want to go the GCH They will take into careful consideration thatt you have had miscarraiges & CVS etc in the past, thus making you "high risk/priority"... I word for a GP & know he often refers these types of pregnancies :hugs: Hope this eases your mind

Lots of Love

I had a little cry when I read about your little man. I'm amazed that you are being very positive. Good on you. I think its very admirable.
Love,
Nan. xx

Hi there

I'm so sorry for what you have been through. It is only natural to be scared. My first baby was stillborn, then I had 2 m/c, before my baby girl was born (she is 2 weeks old today). I was so scared and worried the whole way through, I didn't know how I was going to cope for the 9 months. I knew the stress couldn't be good for my baby, but it was so hard to relax, I constantly thought something would go wrong. I went private this time and my ob was fantastic, for the first 3 months he saw me every fortnight, then the next 3 months was monthly, then fortnightly and weekly. Even though if something went wrong there was nothing he could do, it did help he a little, hearing a little heartbeat every fortnight. If we went public we wouldn't have had as many scans, and as many check ups.

I hope all goes well for you this time. Take care and if you need to chat I'm here.
