Due in February 2017...thread #3!

[SkyLucy]

A home for all of us enjoying the surreality of the first trimester. We're sick as dogs, exhausted to the core, our boobs hurt, we've developed superhuman senses of smell and we're shirking all alcoholic bevvies with a variety of lame excuses...

...we're preggers and over the moon! Join us if you're due in February 2017 and fancy wisdom for the weirdness, support for any sadness, and a safe place where you can get excited about what the future holds, before you go public!

Third thread already (we're a chatty bunch!) Second thread here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/2662110-Due-in-February-2017-thread-2?

Yeah, I know it's early still, especially for those due later in the month who've just joined us. Definitely fine to hold off, I think a lot of people in my other group waited until 12wk scans before joining.

Evergreen, I worried right the way through last time, but I think I'd have worried less if I'd felt more movement. I had an anterior placenta and a lazy sleepy baby, so ended up being monitored for reduced movement a couple times. I think it's so common to be worried whilst pregnant, but I did find that midwives were very understanding and would always rather check you out if you worry. There's always something to worry about as a parent, but pregnancy is especially hard as everything feels out of our control.

Bad news from me ladies :(
Our baby had shrunk since last weeks scan & the heart rate has stopped.
I'm booked in for a D&C on Monday. I wish you all the best of luck for healthy pregnancies xxx

I'm so sorry to hear that high I had everything crossed for a good outcome for you. Sending you love

Haven't been around for a while, 6+1 today and keep getting very anxious,just trying to relax and enjoy our time away together.
But I had to say that I am so so sorry flying and highhopes

jp & Sky ill still be on here :)

Ginger With Dd i was sick until 16 weeks but a lot of the time its into 2nd trimester i think

Mas thinking of you

High im so sorry honey, lots of hugs

xxx

High hopes I'm so sorry

highhopes I'm so sorry. I hope your DH is with you and you'll be well taken care of.

I literally cannot stand waiting another minute for my scan. I've been fairly relaxed about everything until yesterday but now for some reason my anxiety levels have shot way up. I still feel very pregnant but I'm spiralling as the scan approaches.

flying and high So incredibly sorry for this sad news. Sending my best wishes to you both.

Dutchy let us know how you get on today.

I personally agree with the opinion about not moving over to FB. That is why this is good, anonymity and if things go wrong you do not have to accidentally bump back into previous conversations that remind you of everything. Please lets stay on here! :) xxx

Thanks all, I'm fine.
As I said earlier in the week I had sort of accepted that this was going to be the outcome as the stats weren't good & I didn't 'feel' pregnant anymore.
Straight back to work this morning but have booked off Monday & Tuesday to recover from the op.

highhopes I am so sorry. You sound like such a strong person, I really admire you for having so much strength. Wishing you all the best and your DH xxx

So sorry to hear that Highhopes. I hope you're being well looked after.
Hope you're ok Mas. Fingers crossed for you.
I don't think my previous group moved to fb until well into the second trimester, possibly the third. I will definitely be checking in on both and hopefully some more of you will move across when you're ready.

That's a lovely thing to say Haz. I was an emotional wreck last weekend but I feel better now I know. x

I'm so sorry high. Take care of yourself over the next few weeks xx

I am freaking out and the epu weren't overly helpful. I have had two odd looking clots in the past few days with my bleeding and I'm really worried about twin 1. Have booked a private scan tomorrow because otherwise I have to wait another 11 days to find out if they've both gone. Having to travel further than I'd like to get an appointment but at least this way we'll know for sure one way or the other.

It must be torture. This time of not knowing is horrendous. I hope you have plenty of support. Take care of yourself high xxx

Dutchy Hope today goes well

London When is your scan again? I have a private one tomorrow, was going to cancel it since i had my one from epu, but i decided to keep it, which im glad about as yesterday i started having thoughts that the baby wasnt growing and i have panicked myself a lot!!

Spin hope tomorrow goes well and im sorry the epu werent more helpful

xx

I'm so sorry, high. Take care of yourself.

Just got a letter about my dating scan which is 18 July so only a couple of weeks to wait. I'm supposed to have a booking in appointment at the hospital before then so I'll have to chase them about that next week if they haven't given me a date, I guess the letters probably come from different departments so might get sent on different dates.

Been to the docs this morning and been told I have labyrinthitis (an inner ear infection) which is what has been causing me to have so much dizziness and vertigo this week :(

They won't give me anything due to pregnancy, so just got to hope it goes away - doc said could be up to 10 days.

I've also been really weepy this week! So far today I've teared up or actually cried over a Facebook article, master chef, this thread, another thread, etc etc. I never normally cry over anything!!

Ah witch welcome to the crying club! I am such an emotional mess on the best of days let alone now! Haha. I cry over nothing! But I feel sooo much better after, it's cathartic for me :)

Does anybody take Vitamin B6 supplements? I've been looking at some online they seem to be good for early pregnancy! I have low blood pressure any ways and get dizziness and hypoglycaemic migraines if I go without food too long (always been a grazer) and thought taking these may be of help as they help you absorb b12. My mum has always needed b12 shots maybe I am taking after her X

Sorry to hear your news high
So i also have some bad news.
I am in process of miscarrying baby. Heavy bleeding and clotting today, been to epu and scan says we were 6 weeks when actually 8, sac at bottom of uterus so not good, sac not a good shape either. Apparently i still have the baby to pass which will be very painful. Over coming days/weeks.

Great for going back to work from mat leave on Monday. 😔

Im going to leave this group now, but thanks everyone is been a brilliant support. Wishing you all the best xx

Ohhh high and mas I am so, so sorry. I wish you both the very, very best.

I have bleeding again. Sitting at my desk, not sure what to do. Hate this, and all the sadness it seems to bringing so many of us.

Ah ma so so sorry. This has been an awful week for our little group

highhopes and masweetpea I am so sorry to hear of your news 😞 look after yourself at this difficult time.

witch I had that last time and have had it since, horrible condition can last months.

Such sad news high and masweetpea. I wish you both all the best.
