Devastated for you. I really dont know what to say other than im so sorry for your loss and thinking of you xx

I'm very sorry ladypip. Please take care of yourself and I will pray for your well being!

Hi Everyone

So i have some news

I was taken into the rotunda yesterday night, I got a call yesterday afternoon to say they were really unhappy with mu hcg levels they were super high and i had to be admitted for the night for tests because something wasnt adding up. I went in at six and i was told the Doctor who had scanned me in the EPU unit on Monday wanted me back and it couldnt wait until my schedued appointment on Wednesday.



At 10pm the doctor came to my bed and explained that not ony were the hcg levels high for someone who is 11 wks they were extremley high for someone having a miscarriage. She told me that i had been on her mind all day and the fact that i hadnt lost any tissue or any clots had her very worried that i coud have a molar pregnancy which is extremely dangerous or something else, she wanted to get me upto the utrasound dept straight away so up we went at 10pm she had to open it and it was compeatly deserted.



She started scanning me on a screen i coudnt see, stopped almost straight away and said to me im so sorry for what we told you and i have some really great news you are actually still pregnant and it looks like its a healthy little baby in there. I was absolutey overwhelmed and overcome so it took her awhile to calm me down and expain what had happened. Im overweight and my womb is tilted and im also two weeks further aong than they thought i was so when they were scanning me internally in the A&E dept they were looking in the wrong place altogether and unbeleiveably were scanning my bladder and not my womb at all. When i presented to her in the EPU she was to confirm the diagnosis they had given so she looked in the same place using an internal scan seen the same thing they seen and assumed that she was looking at my womb. This time she used an external scan. She must have apologised about a thousand times to me for all the stress and unessecery upset they have caused me. She said that she had a feeing about me and thats why she never offered me tabets or a d&c to clear my womb..thank god for her instinct!!!!!



All night the midwives were coming into me all night congratulating me and telling me its never happened in their careers and the same for the doctor. She said I will be used as a teaching case and aso a tale of caution.



So here i am the mother of a miracle. Im actually 13 wks im due on the 31st of july. We are both still in shock. But so so happy and thankful it was caught before it was too late

O M G!!!!!

What a hugely mixed bag of emotions you must be feeling right now. ...but mostly... im delighted for you..... xxx

Glad that you and your little bean are safe and well ladypip. Couldn't be more happier. Congratulations and take good care of yourself!

I had tears in my eyes reading that ladypip - our little baba was lost at 8 weeks but only discovered at 12 weeks, similar to yourselves. No turnaround for us but absolutely delighted for you, hope you go on to have a trouble free pregnancy now.

I had a scan at 13 weeks Emer, That was the last one where she realised the big mistake. I have my booking appointment on the 3rd so hopefully ill have a scan then. What hospitals are you all attending? Im the Rotunda.

Yeah my 12 week scan is the 3rd Feb also, and I'm attending Mayo General.

Ive not got a date for mine yet and im 12 weeks on sunday coming bit pis$ed off about it too.. as if 12 weeks wasnt long enough to be waiting im also attending mayo general

I'd check that out if I were you as I got my appt in the post a few weeks ago, I think at the 12 wk appt they do a scan and blood tests so it's a pretty important one. I'm going public by the way.

Yeah public too. My scan was done 12wk3days last time. I think I might ring them tomorrow and just check. I wasnt sure if 2nd and subsequent kids was diff..

Yeah definitely check that out tomorrow, I'm on baby no. 4 (God willing all goes well), and I'm sure I got the 12wk letter at around 8 wks this time, so something seems wrong there. Did you get the basic letter saying you're entitled to maternity / infant care and the schedule of visits you're advised to get, eg. 12 wks, 16 wks, etc.?

staticdoor71 wrote: »

Yep that arrived on 23rd december.. just checked to be sure.

Well hope you get that sorted and look forward to seeing you in that small overcrowded overheated waiting room
