Starting a new thread for us all....

Hi all so scan was really good all okay and the bleeding is not a cause for concern as there is no clear source. Bubs is doing well at 2.4mm big with a heartbeat!!! So happy and feeling reassured now xx

TriJo I'm so sorry to hear that, take some time to grieve and hope you feel better soon, physically if not emotionally

Tilly how did your scan go this morning?

Mouse so sorry to hear you're having a tough time, you've been so good at keeping everyone else positive. I really hope you have a good scan tomorrow, do let us know how you get on

Crossed messages, congratulations Tilly that's great news!

I'm so sorry tri. Look after yourself . Such an awful thing to go through.

And turtle I'm sorry about your cat.

I'm not taking DD to booking in, only because it's on a Wednesday and that's one of her nursery mornings. Otherwise I would have to. Im sure there will be times for subsequent appointments she'll have to come with.

Good luck to those with scans today x

Brilliant news tilly what a relief.

Lovely news tilly sure mw knows what theyre talking about.

Ha spring as if you're only a day out thats's quite good going! Well lovely news.

I'm sorry Tri take care of yourself

I'm getting excited about my scan now, hearing about everyone else's! I've got ages to wait though, it's not until Feb 1st and I'll only be 6+3

So sorry Tri

Had my early scan. As I'm not quite 6 weeks it was too early to see bubba but the sac was where it should be and right size so I'm back in 2 weeks for a rescan. They said the painful cramps doesn't mean mc but after my last I'm paranoid

So sorry Tri x

I'm so sorry tri look after yourself 💐

I'm so sorry tri just make sure you look after yourself and take it easy xx

So sorry TriJo.. can't imagine what you're going through. Sending lots of thoughts your way

Trijo I'm so sorry. And I know how gutted you feel even when it was unplanned- I got pregnant when DS1 was 6 mo old and I wasn't happy but you get used to the idea very quickly I think so I was devastated when I lost it.

Mind yourself xxxx

Anybody else struggling with nausea? I haven't actually been sick yet but that's taken a lot of effort! Feel like I can't move from the sofa because it makes my stomach turn

I'm so sorryTriJo

MrsK me! Not been sick either, but just feel constantly sick all day long and have done now for about 2 weeks..I'm 7+3 and it's a bit better than it was a few days ago, but I still feel like crap. I'm trying to see it as a positive that the hormone levels must be rising to make me feel this shit and I didn't have anywhere near this many symptoms with my mc'd pregnancy last year, but it still feels rubbish.

So sorry Tri look after yourself. Glad scans went well Tilly and Spring.

oliver I never had such bad nausea with past 2 MCs either, so hoping you're right and it is a good sign! I'm only 6 weeks, feel like it's going to be a long couple of months ahead.

Have you found anything that helps?

I've tried sea sickness bands which kind of take the edge off, but I have to wear long sleeved tops with so that no one can see them! And chewing gum, as the only thing that makes me feel better seems to be eating, and I can't do that constantly all day every day or I'll be the size of a house before 12 weeks!

So sorry tri hope you have some good support in RL, take some time to look after yourself.

MrsK and olivers I've got awful nausea too I actually wish I'd be sick as I think I would feel better. Sucking on mints seem to be helping me and also eating, but as you say I can't eat all day! Good tip on the gum, will give that ago. I'm sure my boss is going to realise with all the rubbish I'm eating and I need to try and keep it quiet until after bonuses and promotions at the end of March!

Anyone else having trouble sleeping? I'm exhausted but seem to be wide awake by 5am every morning, which must be making the nausea worse!

I've also got the sea sickness bands but I'm not sure they're helping! mrsY I'm waking up at about 5am every morning and just coming downstairs and laying on the sofa!

Sense of smell is driving me mad too. I can smell the foundation on my face which I never realised had a smell!

So sorry tri, take care of yourself

Yes to nausea, it's awful. And getting worse - last time I put on a stone in the first trimester from constant carb loading so I'm really conscious not to do that again but it's hard when carbs are all that help! I think lots of small meals throughout the day are key. You do slowly figure out what works for you - it's horrible though.

YY to trouble sleeping - I'm up between 2am and 5am most mornings .

No appetite at all. Chewing gum is helping the nausea though, thanks for that olivers.

I'm glad everyone's scans went well.. I'm really nervous about mine on Sunday 😁

I'm feeling so nauseous all the time, but the only thing that helps is when I'm eating but I can't eat all the time, like a few others have said I don't want to get too big 😂
