12-8-2008 - Scan

My mood while writing this blog: Overjoyed

---

Well....today was D-Day. I have been wanting today to come it feels like forever but last night I just did not want to go for the scan, as there was still hope. Today we would know one way or the other and I was so scared of being told "I am sorry, not this time".

When we got to the hospital, we did not have to wait for very long, in we went with my full bladder. I was trying to judge from her face if it was good news or bad. She asked me to go and empty my bladder as she wanted to do an internal scan. I felt devasted and just want to run from the hospital. I thought it meant bad news as they could not see. I went back in and she spent ages before turning the screen and showing us a heartbeat. She said she had just wanted to be sure before she showed us. I cried, it was so emotional. After so many m/c I never thought we would ever get this far. She told me our baby measures 8 weeks 2 days so my dates are right. Just must be one of them things on the last scan.

I am overjoyed and can now start to enjoy being pregnant. We go back on the 8th September for another scan and to the anti-natal clinic. I have also now got my injections and have been shown how to inject my self. I am such a wimp, I can't do it so Tony is going to do them for me. I had my first one today and they sting. Apparently I will bruise from them, but I am not bothered, it is worth everything.

I got a scan pic, which I will upload tonight when I get home but it is not very clear. We could see more on screen. The pic she blew up just looks like fuzz but I don't care it is our fuzz!!!

I just want to thank everyone who has sent me messages and helped me get through the last few weeks. You have all been stars. I also just wanted to say a big thanks to those who have sent me well wishes although they have just had devastating news. I know it is not easy being happy for someone else when your so desperate to be a mum or mom for you lovely American ladies! I thank you from the bottom of my heart and wish you the best of luck and know that you to will soon get another BFP that will work out and you will have a bundle of joy. It is easy for people to say that and often you don't think it will ever happen but look at me. After repeated m/c and an ectopic, I have finally got my heartbeat.

Lots and Lots of healthy baby dust to everyone. xxxxx

CONGRATULATIONS hun, I'm sooo pleased you got your heartbeat, it's tearing me up inside the not knowing of what I'm going/not going to see on my scan in a couple of weeks...I'm sooo not looking forward to it! You read so many positive stories on here but it seems that when your in a bit of turmoil the only ones you can remember are the heartbreaking ones...Your blog has touched a raw nerve as I know that feeling oh so well from when I was preggers with Grace but I know I'll have all the same emotions on the 1st September with this pregnancy...I too know what your going through with having to have daily injections as I have to have Clexaine/Heprin twice daily as I had thrombosis of the Hepatic vein...So I know all about those nasty bruises (like you say though they are well worth it) andf u'll get used to the stinging..(do you inject in the tummy) I find that its easier...well good luck and I hope I get my heartbeat, take care chick xxx

Hey :) Congratulations!!!!! I've just read through all your entries since I last checked in on you at 6 weeks... sounds like you've been through a lot in the past two weeks but now you can finally relax a little :) I also found morning sickness to be quite comforting between scans, as horrible as it was, it was the only tangible evidence I had of being pregnant :) Good luck, I'll keep checking up on you :)
