Any June mums to be yet?

[ots]

I've seen the group for May or June, but are there any other definite Junes yet?
Been getting faint positive lines for a few days but today have got a definite line, giving me a due date of around 6th June :)

Trying to stay cautiously optimistic at the moment as we had an MMC in May at 8 weeks.

So, who else is out there? :)

Hi girlies, it's 26th may for us that be our second after nearly 4 years feels like first one again though and oh how much easier it seamed first time round...! Not enjoying it so far at all..! Someone please tell me I'm not the only one! Lol feeling sorry for myself.com

Hello, Sunbathing persuaded me to join as I have been a bit too scared to.

My background is I'm lucky enough to have two beautiful children, but after a very stressful and upsetting start to 2014 health wise with our parents, we decided life's too short and started TTC#3. Unfortunately I suffered an ectopic in April and a chemical/early mc last month.

Picked our socks up again and started again and yesterday at 14 dpo, I got this on an IC!

Hope this little one is a keeper xx

Off to read the thread from the beginning now...

I won't be having an early scan either. We just can't afford to spare the money and although I'd love the reassurance, it's not a guarantee that the 12 week one will be fine. I totally understand those who've had mc's in the past though and you should do whatever you canto give yourself some peace of mind.

Booking in is next Wednesday! Dreading being weighed and being told I've not lost the weight from DS ( who is miserable after his 1 year jabs yesterday). I have my best friend staying for a few days, I adore her and haven't seen her in 6 months as she's been working abroad but I could have easily crawled off to bed at 8pm!!

I hope those not feeling well start to feel better and everyone gets a good nights rest xx

sunbathing I'm worrying a bit about symptoms too. During the day I feel a bit rough but not too bad, but then I get into bed and worry that actually I haven't felt that pregnant today. I'm sure I'm going to drive myself crazy!

Sorry you're worrying. Try to think that the odds are in your favour. That's what I'm trying to do. DH and I spoke about it tonight, and I said surely we wouldn't be so unlucky to suffer another MC in the same year. I try so hard to be positive but then every little twinge I convince myself that this is the end.

Still so undecided about an early scan. I've got my first midwife apointment on Friday. Part of me wants to beg for one, but at the same time I'm worried about it getting my hopes up again like last time.

Pregnancy after miscarriage is bloody hard. I miss how relaxed I was the first 2 times!!

Hope everyone else is OK tonight. Sorry for (yet another) whingey post from me!

Super congratulations tranquility! Fx this is 3rd time lucky!

These twins comments are starting to freak me out a bit!! stop! Surely others must've got a good strong line on an IC?!

sunbathing hope you're ok, all this is such a worrying time. The likelihood is that everything is just fine and worrying don't change a thing. If you're worried, a scan will hopefully give you some reassurance.

I've got to have a scan at 6 weeks, as it's protocol at my hospital after an ectopic.

When do you normally phone to let gp/hospital know you want to get booked in with a MW?

Tranquility in your situ I think asap would be good for booking in and getting that scan booked pronto.

I will, thank you x

Eek! Gulp

Thanks for posting a pic. Hurry and arrive FRER, I need to do another! X

I don't think I want to have an early scan either.

I don't need one, so I'm probably not going to bother. The only thing bothering me is knowing there is just one baby in there please God.

First pregnancy I had my two regular scans.

Second pregnancy I had some pain at 6+0, and was scanned. There was no heart beat, so I absolutely crapped myself and went back in the next day to a different EPAU for another scan . There was a heart beat.

I had my 12 week scan but after a horrible experience where DP saw everything for the whole scan, and I saw nothing, and was just thrown the screen for the last 3 seconds with a 'there's your baby', and the worst scan picture known to man, I insisted on a private scan. So I had one at 13 weeks, which was much better, and I saw everything in detail.

My 20 week scan was fine.

I then had a private 3D scan at 35 weeks for free, as a favour.

And due to it being picked up that my baby was small, I then had growth scans at 35 and 39 weeks.

I felt a bit all scanned out by the end.

So this time I'd just like my two scans, with an additional 3D scan at around 32/33 weeks - I really enjoyed that experience, and it made me feel very connected to my baby.

Today I've made it to 4 weeks. Finally . The last 5 days sure have dragged!

I did a CB digi today as DP was disbelieving of the FRER . Pregnant, 2-3 popped up. Yay!

MrsE Depending on where you live, one to one midwives might cover your area. They would be a really good alternative to regular NHS care, and obviously they are free :)

Detective what's one to one mws? Previously ive had one mw see me all the way through and then whoever is in call for delivery. But that's my actual problem the birth. I did actually get my community mw deliver me last time. She was tired and unprofessional. They didn't believe I was in labour last time. I progress very quickly. I kind of think if I'm paying they have to stick around! I just can't let what happened last time happen again.

I'm eastbourne detective. A couple of years ago the consultant led side of things was closed in eastbourne so now it's 15 miles away. I'm completely terrified and have done absolutely nothing about it all. I'm scared of being bullied into something that's not right for me. I need to move Dr surgeries first, I've still not done that. I'm sort of paralysed.

Is anyone thinking about where they want to have their baby?

I'm in turmoil over where to book with. I've got several options.

Option 1) book at my local NHS maternity unit.

Option 2) book at the NHS maternity unit I work in.

Option 3) book with one to one midwives.

Option 4) book with NHS maternity unit I work in, but request to be looked after by our new caseload midwives. (One of them has specifically said she will look after me, and I trust her completely - but feel like I'd be putting on her).

I'm planning a homebirth, but due to some high risk factors (mostly the previous CS with DS1) I had a lot of stress over it last time. As it was, last time I didn't end up with my homebirth not through lack of trying! because I eventually agreed to be induced at 20 days overdue. I'd have carried on longer, but his movements significantly reduced, and with me knowing he was small, I made the decision to go with the induction.

So I did have a vaginal birth in the end, but it was with forceps, and I had a lot of complications following due to the episiotomy.

I'm keen to avoid any intervention again. I'm toying with the idea of booking at the local unit - so that I can just nip down the road if I have hyperemesis again, for treatment. Then transfer my care after 20 weeks to one to one.

I just don't feel like I can demand the care I want where I work. I'd never be able to go back to work. I just don't think I can do it, even though everyone tells me I should.

I'm planning to start my maternity leave at 29 weeks, and take some time out with my other children, and for myself before this little one arrives. I'm also intending to take a full year, plus annual leave, and then return 3 days a week (currently FT). I just hope I can make the finances work. A third baby pushes us in to the thresholds for tax credits. Where as we get nothing now. If my calculations are right, it's doable. PLEASEEEEE!!

Last time I worked beyond 37 weeks (and was only able to afford 6 months maternity leave) and it was so painful in the end due the physical demands of my job. I blame the work stress for him being so small too (2nd centile, and bounced up to 50-75th after birth where he has remained since).

I want an easy, relaxed, enjoyable pregnancy!!!

I've looked in to pregnancy yoga, it's run in classes at the end of my road :)

And aquanatal is close by too.

I'm really looking forward to it all. Just got to get through the next couple of months!
