Thinking of you rose 💐.. praying everything works out ok xx

Waitingonasmile · 04/09/2017 18:41

So sorry rose . I really hope you get answers soon. Thinking of you. Flowers

Owl1011 · 04/09/2017 19:36

Thinking of you @Rosehyd2 and really hoping they can give you some positive news after your appointments on Wednesday. Look after yourself in the meantime Flowers

klaw87 · 04/09/2017 20:51

Thinking of you @Rosehyd2. Everything crossed that all is okay xx

Maybebaby2 · 04/09/2017 22:00

Thinking of you Rose let us know how you get on at appointment Flowers

Rosehyd2 · 04/09/2017 22:17

Thanks everyone. I'm such a wreck right now, but honestly your kind wishes are meaning so much. Puts a bit of love and hope back into me. Thank you everyone, I really mean it.

MummyM33 · 04/09/2017 22:38

Hi @Rosehyd2, just wanted you to know I was thinking of you. I don't blame you for being frightened but the best thing is they've spotted it so can monitor you and keep you and baby safe. Let us know how Wednesday goes x

Ruthcarr1990 · 05/09/2017 07:27

Not been on for a week or so. @Rosehyd2 thinking of you I no it's hard but try not to stress. Xxxx

Seven0fNine · 05/09/2017 07:45

Ahhh Rose. Keep us posted my love. I'm sure everything wil be fine although terrifying. We are here if you need us.

I don't know where my placenta is. She didn't mention it at the 12 week one!!! Thursday can't come quick enough for the scan. Hadn't felt much movements the past few weeks as I think the baby had moved way down but he/she's back with a vengeance now and was kicking me all through the inset day at school yesterday. Especially when I started eating biscuits ☺️ Even dh got to feel last night it was so strong it makes me laugh everytime it happens. Love it!!!

SJ1989 · 05/09/2017 08:16

Got my first consultant appointment today due to a uterine abnormality and hopefully get an idea if I'm likely to be able to have a natural birth! Really hoping so as I'm petrified of the idea of an epidural, my mums disabled due to breaking her back and the nerve damage causes a lot of knock on effects and I've heard horror stories so would much like my spine left alone! Hoping to atleast get an idea today!

Ruthcarr1990 · 05/09/2017 09:46

@SJ1989 I had my consultant last week, got put with a junior doctor, I basically told him his job, I've opted for a c section, my dd had distress when my waters broke and don't want the same to happen again, was told I would have another app around 36 weeks to get a date.

Lots of movement this morning, my dh has just started a new job and is away all week!!!

Really can't be bothered with work today!!! Think it could be a I'm really not well today and If I say it that many times they will hopefully send me home fingers crossed!!! Xxxxx

SJ1989 · 05/09/2017 10:40

@Ruthcarr1990 hppefully your next onw is a bit less frustrsting!

Been told I should be ok for a natural labour but higher risk of baby being breach or of preterm labour so close monitoring and growth scans at 28, 32 and 38 weeks. The consultant was lovely though

Gemxo · 05/09/2017 15:51

20 week scan went great, baby healthy and happy & still defiantly a boy!!

Think he got sick of being watched as when it came down to getting photos he turned his back to us!! Cheeky boy 💙

January Babies #5 - Are we 'glowing' yet?!
ForumUsername · 05/09/2017 17:15

We've our 20 week scan tomorrow
I'm really looking forward to it

A side effect to feeling movement is the worry when you don't!
I had been feeling lots going to bed but not last night. It got me a little panicked but then felt load this morning and on and off today
I'm not normally an anxious person but I am in pregnancy!!
It's crazy how attached I've become to this little person inside me 😍

WLMcI · 05/09/2017 17:27

@peachgreen CONGRATULATIONS! I'm really happy that all is well (and yes, that definitely sounds like you're feeling movements to me!) That's such a lovely wee outfit too :)

@MummyM33: I had to ask about whooping cough as it's all very confusing here who gives you what or refers you to what. Basically your GP's treatment room nurse can do it as with any vaccine, from 16 weeks on, so you shouldn't need a MW appointment specifically.

@Gemxo Yes, I have what looks like bruising beneath my boobs too! It isn't tender though; had it since about 22 weeks so I suppose it could be something to do with the milk ducts coming in?

@Forum I know, you can't win for losing can you?!

Waitingonasmile · 05/09/2017 18:13

Glad scans went well today ladies! Smile lovely news.

My next scan is in 8 weeks which seems like forever away. Then have another at 36 weeks but I can't imagine being that pregnant since I had DS at 35 weeks. Think those last huge and uncomfortable weeks will be a shock to me.Shock

rememberpurpleronnie · 05/09/2017 19:42

@Rosehyd2 I just wanted to offer a handhold. My DS had a serious heart problem when he was born. The not knowing is awful- once you have a plan you will feel well looked after and most people's experience of neonatal care is that they are phenomenal. My DS is absolutely fine now but I look back to those days that you are in now and wonder how I got through them, but you do and once a plan is in place you can focus on all the lovely stuff Flowers

Rosehyd2 · 05/09/2017 20:17

Thank you @rememberpurpleronnie. Im really trying hard to think positive today and I feel as prepared as I can be to take whatever news comes my way tomorrow.
I just want to know how baby is and if there is something to worry about if it's manageable then I'll be okay. I can give that baby all the love and care it needs, I just need to know it'll be okay.

Hotpinkangel19 · 05/09/2017 20:40

I'm 22 weeks and have heartburn/sickness ☹️ tonight I was so sick I brought up blood, any ideas what I can take to soothe it?

ChocoMunchi · 06/09/2017 05:37

If you're bringing up blood @Hotpinkangel19 it's probably best to go see your GP/midwife/pharmacist. It might just be that you have torn something if you're being sick and nothing to worry about at all.

But whilst anything that they suggest you take you can get on a free prescription (including using the minor ailments scheme via your pharmacist) its worthwhile just contacting them for advice.

@Rosehyd2 will be thinking of you tomorrow and hope you get some answers at your appointment. 💕

peachgreen · 06/09/2017 07:19

Well, despite my anterior placenta we felt the baby move last night! Three big strong kicks - DH even felt the last one! - and then some softer ones. You'd think I'd be pleased but now I'm panicking that a) I've felt nothing since and b) the first movements were SO strong! Did anyone else have this? How long was it between your first movements and subsequent ones?

Good luck today @Rosehyd2. I've been thinking of you all week - I really hope you get some positive news today.

Waitingonasmile · 06/09/2017 07:40

Thinking of you today rose and hope you get better news. Let us know what happens when you feel up to it x Flowers

Yes Peachgreen I'm anterior and I had huge gaps with feeling movement when it first started. From 17 weeks until 19 I could go a few days with absolutely nothing. It took until 19 (so at least 2 weeks) for it to be noticeable most of the day.

Mummyme87 · 06/09/2017 07:58

peach I started feeling movements around 16weeks and now 21weeks but they are really sketchy. Felt loads on Monday night but not much since. Have my anomaly scan on Friday so hopefully will get some reassurance

Iamchanging · 06/09/2017 08:14

Good luck Rose for today x
Still a grand total of zero movements ever here and getting increasingly worried despite my best efforts, scan tomorrow

peachgreen · 06/09/2017 08:33

Ahh thanks for the reassurance ladies. I think I just freaked out because the movements were SO DEFINITE, and then nothing. But I was crying / feeling stressed at the time and it was the first time I'd cried or felt properly stressed in weeks and weeks, so I'm wondering if that disturbed her in some way. She certainly moved positions entirely as I can feel the hard "lump" - it's always been on the right hand side before but she's moved to the centre now. So possibly it was just her having a big old rearrangement!
