Great to hear the good news from scans and congratulations to the newbies!

I was so bloated last time that I think I looked the same from about 6 weeks to 4-5 months.

Thanks for the new thread tiny!

How are you doing?! I remember you too!

Just checking in on new thread 😊

Hi folks. Just got my bfp today . Tentative edd of 27th October with dc4. So excited!

Hi can I join in, my date is 15th October. Thanks

Hello to even more newbies!!

Just marking place. Hope everyone is well this morning.

doomkitty re your last post, sorry to hear about your sister. Tell her to look into the options at Coventry or get an NHS referral to Mr Shehata's clinic at Epsom hospital (they see patients from all over the UK, GP just needs to do the referral). I wish I'd known about these options, maybe I wouldn't have had 12 losses then. NHS local hospital standard RMC is shit, they can't do anything until you've had 3 and they don't tell you about the other options.

Re yourself, you won't be able to get an early scan unless you have abdominal pain or bleeding. But you can pay privately to have one, there are a number of firms dotted around the country that will do reassurance scans, charging anything up to around £100. If you have one, 8 weeks would be a good stage as the odds of a Mc after an 8 week scan are really low. The placenta starts to take over just after then so some people do have losses after then as have problems with the blood flow to the placenta (if they haven't had the blood tests to see if they need blood thinners) but for most people, 8 weeks is a good point to get to.

Had a horrible dream I miscarried last night ☹️ hope these pregnancy dreams aren't predictive!

I'm sorry Charmsnder, that's probably me quoting those odds.

If it cheers you up, I had a sex dream. Is that a pregnancy symptom?

Thanks for the new thread tiny

I've got the really vivid dreams too. I have had some nasty nightmares about things going wrong, so know how you feel charmanar

I don't think they're predictive though, as if they are, based on last night i need to write an essay about Shakespeare!!

Charmanar

Oh gosh I dreamt I MC too it was horrible! Woke up in a cold sweat!

OMG my dog has a toxic arse this morning and insists on sitting next to me and farting loads. They make me want to puke at the best of times. Husband thinks it's hilarious of course!

Place marking in the new thread
Booking in appointment this morning!

Boobs hurt so much less today and feeling less nauseous. Of course, instead of feeling happy that I feel better I'm now terrified! Takes its toll this pregnancy lark.

Anyone else got really bad constipation ??

I've not got constipation Salmon, but do keep eating loads of fruit to keep things moving cus I know it can happen.

Dancing I'm in exactly the same position - boobs don't feel like they're going to explode and I managed to have a whole hot drink without thinking that it was going to bounce. So of course, mind is thinking that things are going wrong.

I bought DH the "Commando Dad" book (he's an Adult Instructor with the Army Cadets so I thought it would amuse him and he'd be more likely to read it than a dry book) and it says apparently pregnant women should avoid pre-made sandwiches. I haven't seen this anywhere else...why would an M&S sandwich be on the list along with liver/blue cheese/rare meat etc?

Salmon I'll swap your constipation for my very runny bottom! It's not actual diarrhoea (there's no urgency, and it only comes when it's meant to ie at 9.30 every morning, as it has been for the past however long) but just very runny poo.

Play my cats seem to be doing the same thing. They are little fart machines anyway, can often be seen sitting in a little green cloud, but OMG, GirlCat (her arse is rancid at the best of times) keeps coming over to me for strokes, turning round, letting one rip and buggering off. Apparently she's just giving me practice at not throwing up when nappies are involved.
