Seems like Fridays are my check-in days
- I realised last time I posted quickly after a scan and I missed passing on my thoughts to Floydie and CODwidow, and LindorChocs & Quenelle I was very sorry to see you have all suffered losses. You have my utmost sympathy, it's such a hard thing to go through and I do hope you can take it easy on yourselves, take time to grieve and find any answers you need before making further decisions about your next steps.
Mildert how are you feeling at the moment? Have you had a booking in appt or mentioned your anxiety to your MW? It is worth bringing it up as they'll know to keep an eye on your mental health both antenatally as well as postnatal, and should have some additional help to offer if things start getting bad. If you're worried about your friend, you could just be in contact and simply ask her how she's doing. Better to do that rather than stew, and then she'll know that she's in your thoughts?
Catsy 41 weeks seems like gambling for ELCS 
- do they just do it as a low-grade EMCS if you go into labour beforehand? I suppose that way they know the baby is ready to come out but heavens! I'm hoping for a VBAC this time but if it turns out that a CS is going to be best then I'd rather have a fairly reliable scheduled date so that I can get care for DS and DH can book his time off promptly.
Wriggle those are lovely results for your screening. Congrats on yours too Malibu Mine also came back low risk and I've just told my first few people. Feels quite funny after keeping schtum all this time.
Chipo I hope it's all ok for you at the scan.
Harecare I did have nausea that was pretty bad, which faded at around 9-10 weeks, but I still have big problems around dinner time. So far I am managing to cook something at around 5:30 for DS and try to eat something then too - even if it's just a sandwich/wrap or left-over potato salad as it was yesterday. But after that I feel dreadful and it's not until 9 or so that I start to feel ok again, generally have a bowl of cereal & some fruit at that time and then start getting ready for bed (oh my exciting life!). I'm REALLY hoping this pattern doesn't continue as my poor DH is getting a bit fed up with having to fend for himself night after night. And I miss proper meals too. I'm sure it got better with DS so am counting on that for this PG too.
lalabaloo congrats on the scan. I think they do have periods of activity and rest - not sure if it would be classed as sleeping or not....when I had my scan the sonographer said they often moved in response to the pressure of the scanning thing (technical term), but it was reflex rather than anything else as the brain is still developing. But next 4 weeks are big brain development times so Omega oils ahoy!
I've been officially discharged from the Recurrent Miscarriage Clinic - just in time to have my first spotting of the pregnancy - but I was warned it would probably happen and it was a tiny amount and had no cramping so am being brave about it and Not Fretting. Next week I'll have my first High Risk Pregnancy clinic appointment
- couldn't get much more medicalised huh? Oh well, that's the hand I've been dealt and I'm more than happy to play it if I get a squidgy newborn to bring home at the end of all this.
Good luck to those still waiting for their scans. It's a rough old time especially as it gets closer - try to remember the stats ARE on your side. And Breeeeeathe. Waves to all.
