TWW - Short(ish) LP

@TTC12023 I think once we start feeling them move about it will become a lot more real haha. They do say second trimester is the easiest 😊.

Ah fab ok, I think my consultant is just being super cautious of everything because of the unknowns of my previous MMC but he did say I won't need aspirin and it's a good sign I've passed the gestation I lost my last baby at etc. Ohh I have no idea! It's a brand new midwife centre too so I have no idea how they are haha. Really hope so but if not my scan is immediately after anyway 😊.

How exciting! I'd be super happy for a girl as it'll probably be my last so if have one of each but also think a boy would be lovely for them to be brothers and cheaper for all the hand me downs so either way I'm thrilled just can't wait to know now! Love that I'm not as far behind you guys as I initially thought too x

@TTC12023 ohh congrats on baby girl!! I have a suspicion that I'm having a girl too due to nub theory and slightly high free beta hcg.

I think all is ok! Bleeding stopped as soon as they gave me a pessary for thrush and I found papercut like wounds on the outside of my vagina from the thrush so almost certain that's where the blood came from! I am under quite tight consultant care because of it, going back on Tuesday. He said my papp a was low but it's 0.78 which I've been told has to be under 0.4 to be considered low 🤷🏼‍♀️. My next scan is a gender scan on the 30th so not too long until extra reassurance! It's the same day as my 16 week midwife appointment (tho I'll be 17 weeks) I'm currently 15+2 and have what I think I'd a slight bump! If I wear tight clothes people would probably guess as I'm also slim so it's weird I have a belly haha but currently in joggers and a jumper and noone can tell 😉.

I don't have many symptoms anymore, more prone to headaches, need naps & sometimes almost vomit when brushing my teeth but that's about it, nothing major! So it's hard to believe there's a bubba in there still lol xx

@TTC12023 sorry I didn’t get a notification that you had posted…

Have you had your private scan yet? Do you know the gender?

I have good and bad days with nausea. If I get up early (4am 😬) it normally passes before I need to function for my DC and work. However I am then ready for bed by lunch time 🤣.

I finally have a cute little bump. Definitely grown over the last week. I have gained about 9-10lb from starting weight. But lost a bit initially. It will all be worth it in the end 🙂

@Ttcmumma there aren’t many surprises in life 💛

Most places don’t do 3D/4D until 24/26 + weeks now. I remember with DC having one at 18 weeks because DH was away for 20 week scan. They are also now double-triple the price 🤦🏼‍♀️. Not sure if there is a Window to the Womb near you but one near us has a weekday offer for £79. Going to book for half term week 🙈

@BB2818 ah sweet! I wish I had the patience 🤣. I'm going to do the same with the 4d scan and my son, but after my 20 week scan. I'm being so careful this time just incase x

@Ttcmumma very exciting. We are going to leave gender a surprise 🙈 going to book a 3D/4D scan so we can take DC with us.

@BB2818 yes I will, I have a private 16 week scan at the end of October where I'll find out 😊. Have/are you?

@Ttcmumma thats great news! Will you find out if baby is a boy or girl?

@BB2818 thank you! All went ok at the scan thankfully. It was this morning. Not sure where the blood came from but doesn't appear to be from my womb and bubba is looking good so that's the main thing

@Ttcmumma fingers crossed everything is ok 🤞🏼. Let us know how your scan goes tomorrow. After my 20 week scan I had cramping/pressure. Not any bleeding/spotting though.

I have had a few episodes of braxton hicks, which I can’t even remember experiencing with DC. They have swabbed and scanned to check water around baby as my waters leaked at about 6-7 months with DC. All is ok and baby is healthy 👶🏼

Hey ladies! How are you getting on @TTC12023 @BB2818

I had my 12 week scan Monday which went really well and baby measured 13 weeks. But I've had some mild cramping and light spotting when I wipe today. Which is terrifying me! I finally let myself believe and process after Mondays scan and now I'm back to square one panicking 😅 epu and doctors have been rubbish so I've booked a private scan for the morning. Can only pray I'm panicking over nothing. Such a scary time x

How are you all?

@BB2818 hey, not as bad as last week but between pregnancy fatigue, morning sickness and COVID symptoms I can't work out what's going on. Baby has now also decided I can't drink the one cup of coffee a day I was allowing myself🤦🏼‍♀️ throw up immediately after drinking a couple sips lol

@Ttcmumma hope you are feeling better? I had Covid for the third time the cycle before or the beginning of the cycle I conceived. I just got plenty of rest, took paracetamol and make sure you get plenty of fluids. Take care of yourself 🙂

Hey ladies, hope you're well. I currently have either the flu or COVID (haven't got a test yet) and have a temp around 39. Been taking paracetemol to try and control the temp and make me more comfortable and drinking lemon and ginger tea... Any other ideas safe in pregnancy?

@Ttcmumma so pleased your scan went well. I am my own worst enemy. I encourage everyone else to stay positive and despite having every reason to be I still find a way to be anxious.

@TTC12023 it is, I lost almost a stone since finding out; now I am about 4-5lb under what I was when I found out. I am still being sick but having better days where I am only sick a couple of times.

@Ttcmumma 😂 bless him, it's understandable he's feeling a bit worried though. I hope your pregnancy goes smoothly

@ReginaPhalange12 thanks Hun, he actually didn't say much. Just 'oh wow' 🤣 I think he may be in panic mode because of the last loss. He was abit like this with our first pregnancy (unplanned and unprepared so he panicked for different reasons) and then came around and fell inlove with the bump soon enough

@Ttcmumma ah I'm sure it'll be lovely when you do manage to tell him ❤️

@ReginaPhalange12 haven't had time without my son around yet (gonna hide it from my son as long as possible) so will when I get some privacy with him haha
