October 2016. Thread 3 - Booking In and Dating Scans!

[leoniethelioness]

I thought I'd start a new thread now we'be reached 1,000 posts on the last one!

So cool that you can find out the sex so early! I'm really thinking that in the future this harmony test should be standard. I'm nearly 12 weeks and can't believe that I still feel like I have an imminent vom attack all the time. This pregnancy has hit me like a truck. It's my 4th and I have never felt so bloody awful. I'm also so impatient to actually see my baby. Scan not until next Friday. What if it's all a big mistake and I'm just fat, farty and depressed. What if there are 2 in there, or 3. Also want to know, who has given in, to maternity wear. I threw my jeans off today in a fit of rage. They fit in the morning but by lunch...not a chance. I can't get to grips with what to wear, as my arse and hips are clearly carrying a baby each too and even with zip undone or a bobble round, they no longer stay up due to increased overall size. I cry.

Thanks BigpigLittlepig!

Clank2 I've bought two pairs of underbump jeans from asos, as I hated using a hairband on my normal skinny jeans. The asos ones are good, whereas the New Look ones fall down a bit. Going to buy another colour of the asos skinny jeans.

My scan is next Thursday and I can't wait! By the evening, my stomach is so bloated, I look huge!

11 weeks tomorrow. As my scan isn't until 13+3 and my private scan at 8+2 feels a long time ago, I caved and bought a fetal doppler. I tried it out this evening with minimal expectations and found bean with a 140 heartbeat straight off. :-) Might risk telling my boss tomorrow after all!

Teagirl I'm currently taking pregnacare - yes they are horse pills and horrible to take - but they have tons of vitamins. I have 2 packs of seven seas trying for baby lying round - I picked up one pack, got to the front of the queue and went back to get 2 more as they were on 3 for 2, my rationale being that it would be sod's law if I bought all those packs then got pregnant straight away. I am so ridiculously superstitious it's unreal - but it worked though!

Speaking of superstition, there is no way I am even thinking about what buggy to get before my scan. I am kicking myself for saying to my MiL that I needed to buy bigger clothes before we all go on holiday to Spain in May. My boobs have not felt sore since and I'm really having to stop myself thinking that I jinxed it by even the thought of buying maternity things.

Evs I really hope everything is OK for you. It's a worrying time.

BigPigLittlePig I will definitely look at that Unmumsy book on Kindle, sounds like a good laugh to cheer us up.

Sadly I have found out today that I've had a missed miscarriage. I'm kicking myself for not calling my dr earlier. I had lost all pregnancy symptoms a bit ago but thought she'd think I was mad for calling on a hunch. Unfortunately I started bleeding last night and a scan today confirmed that the pregnancy ended very soon after the 1st scan nearly 3 weeks ago. I'll be having a D&C on Thursday.
Wishing you all the best and hoping for healthy, happy pregnancies for everyone x

gurzle I'm so so sorry to hear about your loss! Look after yourself xx

So sorry gurzle hope you have a strong support system to take care of you xxx

Gurzle I am sorry for your loss.
If you had called your doctor earlier there would have been nothing they could have done. The same thing happened to me in October. I called the midwives when my symptoms disappeared, and they said it could mean anything and they wouldn't do anything unless I was bleeding. When I did bleed I got a scan and the MMC was confirmed. Miscarriages are inevitable and cannot be stopped even if picked up earlier, so please don't torture yourself.

Take care of yourself over the next few days.

I'm so sorry Gurzle. Hope you have plenty of support in RL.

So sorry gurzle

I am so sorry to hear that Gurzleberg. Iris is right, there would have been nothing that the doctor could have done if you had gone in earlier. Take care of yourself x

So sad to hear that Gurzle. Be kind to yourself

Oh Gurzle, I'm so sorry. I don't know what to say, just that I'm so so sorry. Sending you hugs and love x

Sending you lots of love gurzle

I'm so so sorry to hear that Gurzle look after yourself.

Very sorry to hear that Gurzle. I hope you are bearing up ok xx

My sickness is getting worse

Now 10+3

Anyone else getting worse?

So sorry to hear that gurzle :(

Fresh my sickness definitely got worse from mid week 9 and is still getting worse now (11 weeks exactly): this morning was my worst bout so far.

I'm going to have to tell my boss now if only to explain why I appear to be shirking!

My sickness is definitely getting worse at 9+4. I can keep the actual vomiting at bay with the metoclopromide tablets, but the nausea is a killer

I didn't really have much in the way of nausea, unless I got too hungry, until Saturday when I was 11 weeks exactly. I've not thrown up at all but I've definitely been gagging more and feeling like I could be sick.

I'm so sorry Gurzle xxxxxxx

Had my scan yesterday, healthy baby in there. Sadly there was evidence that it's twin died some weeks ago. So I don't know how to feel about that, bittersweet I guess x

I imagine it's a strange feeling strop

Fantastic you have a healthy baby though!

*shrop

shrop must be a mixture of emotions! Very sorry to hear about the twin you've lost, but at the same time, massive congratulations that you have one healthy baby
