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 sorry Gurzle
Like others have said, there's nothing you could have done so don't beat yourself up. Lots of TLC and rest. I hope it goes as smoothly as possible on Thursday, I'm sorry you've had to wait for the d&c, that's hard.

I have moments when I feel like I've lost all symptoms but like you did, I feel strange going to the doctor about it. I'll wait for my scan in the knowledge there's not much else I can do at the moment.

Today I'm just tired but that could be for any one of a thousand reasons...

So sorry Gurzle look after yourself xx

I am not enjoying having a cold on top of pregnancy. Who ever it was that asked what throat sweets were ok, Halls soothers and I think lockets are both fine, as they don't contain anything medicinal, they are basically just sweets.

I'm so sorry Gurzle

And shrop, it must be strange finding that out. You've lost a baby but you only expected to have one and you still have one so it's like (I imagine) losing something you never had, yet you have lost it. Sorry that's just my ramblings, I don't mean to offend so I hope I haven't.

I'm suffering severe hunger, I had my lunch at 11:30 after belvita biscuits and a packet of crisps (wotsits) did nothing to stave my hunger. I then had a brownie at lunchtime followed by 2 little triangle sandwiches left over from a meeting with lunch provided and now I'm off to have a hot cross bun. Any bump I may have is definitely a food baby. Not got a date for my scan yet but I can hardly wait

I know, weird right? I'm sad but feel like I'm insulting anyone who's lost a baby at the same time because I didn't ever know about it....?

How you feel is how you feel though, so don't be trying to make yourself feel more sad because you think you should or because you think it is an insult to other women if you don't. Everyone's situation is different and you need to deal with it in your own way.

Just noticed that the new series of One Born Every Minute starts tonight. I usually watch it anyway, but this series will definitely be paying more attention!

Daren't watch it! Maybe once ive got my scan out of the way this weekend haha

Ooh pod where is it filmed this year?

Sorry to hear of more losses today

So sorry to hear about your loss Gurzle

So sorry to hear about the losses today

I've never watched one born every minute...should I?

Is anyone else's other halves doing their heads in yet? My DP is really irritating me at the moment. I know he's not doing it on purpose

Mine has just saved me from a 45 minute toddler meltdown so he's in the good books! One born I never watched before ds1 and afterwards it just made me a bit cross in how it portrays/misses things so I'm going to give it a miss! Sorry to hear about gurzle and your funny situation shrop.

One born makes me cringe so bad

Luckily for me this is baby 4 so I know what to expect

I just read about your scan too shrop. I don't really know what to say? How are you feeling about it now?

Fine. Sad in a 'what could have been' way, but too happy and great full in a 'thank Christ I had no idea' way. It's an odd one. But please don't feel sad for me, I don't feel a massive loss X thanks

So sorry gurzle this has always been my biggest fear. Be kind to yourself.

shrop I can only imagine if be feeling similar to you. Congrats on one healthy baby though!

So DD has chickenpox. I'm meant to be on AL for 2.5wks from Thursday but have now needed to take emergency leave to cover childcare. I'll need to go into work tomorrow evening to sort a few things. She's handling it like a pro and finding her new found spottyness hilarious!

Sorry for your loss gurzle, look after yourself.

I fainted today in the toilets at work. Have a bit of a history - low bp and anaemia - but was horrible all the same. And every day from about 6pm, the heartburn kicks in! The joys!!! 10 weeks today though, 12 week scan on the 4th!

clank I'm the same. Discover the freedom of leggings now and ditch the denim!
I've ballooned in every direction, same thing happens every time. My peristalsis stops and I just become one mega constipated blob. It's miserable and I can't wait for a bump to pop rather than this fluid / fat filled tyre. Ran for the bus tonight and could feel my arse wobbling. Nice.

Sorry if TMI....but is anyone else struggling to "go" ?
I'm full of wind and farting like a foghorn, but there doesn't seem to be anything behind those farts IYSWIM? don't remember ever having this problem when pregnant with DD!

Sorry to hear your news gurzle and Shrop.

I have gone for just feeling nauseous to actually being sick now. Lovely.

To top things off, DS is ill, and for the past two nights has thrown up all over his bed just as I'm trying to get him to sleep. I now have loads of laundry to do, and together with feeling dodgy myself and being busy in work I'm feeling very sorry for myself.

On a more positive note, week off next week, and I'm very much looking forward to it!

Try fruit juice Eggy? might help keep you going, someone else on here said the best thing is fluids, keep drinking and it'll be easier to go. Failing that lactulose is your friend. I've not had any problems (yet) but I have a bit of an addiction to tropical fruit juice so I'm going to put it down to that.

I hope you have pregnancy nausea and aren't coming down with DS's bug schnitzel! That would be the worst as you start your week off. Hope you feel better soon, get the washing machine on now too, might as well get it over with!

Disney I'll get DH to pick up some orange juice on his way home and hope to report back in the morning, having "gone"

Fingers crossed for OJ success!

Very gaggy today. Talking to my boss about a patient (work in a hospital) and just gagged mid sentence. He looked a bit worried. I blamed it on the terrible smell that was pervading the air around us. Not. Good.

Went shopping today and horrified at how some of the clothes fitted me. I'm really bloated at my waist. I could easily pass for 5 or 6 months pregnant if it weren't for my jeans holding it in. I've only put on 2lbs! ( though was already a size 16)
Time to either hoke out my maternity bottoms or make a jersey band to smooth out the lumps.
( sadly I don't have the beautiful round bump you see in pics and under bump clothes are mighty uncomfortable. So glad I'll be able to wear mostly maxi dresses to hide the wobble under my bump.

Bluecarrot I know how you feel! I'm already a 14-16 and have only put on 2lbs but feel absolutely massive!! I'm so glad that my summer wardrobe mainly consists of maxi dresses!!

At my booking in appointment when I was 8 weeks my midwife got some 5000mg folic acid prescribed for me due to my BMI being 30.5, which I've been taking since then. I'm 11+4 today and almost out of the pack I have. Has anyone been taking extra folic acid? And, if so, are you only supposed to take it until 12 weeks or do I need another prescription?

^^ sorry, 5mg, not 5000!
