December 2018 Babies - Thread #2

[MagicalCreatures]

Hi girls.
Was sitting at home being lazy so thought I’d start a new thread for ya’ll.
Well done for noticing Rachie

@December glee - that sounds tough. I’ve been shattered and feeling nauseous too although my 2.5yr old has just started sleeping a bit better. Last night he woke at 1am and would only go back to sleep on me. Today I’ve felt so much worse as a result of bad sleep. Hope your little one feels better soon and let’s you rest more x

Hi ladies can I join please! I'm 8 weeks today, I have been on the other threads but didn't realise this one was here 🙈 I had a scan at 6+5 due to bleeding but the scan showed a good strong heartbeat 💗. Due on Christmas Eve 🎅🏼 xx

@Decemberglee sorry you're having a rough time. I think everyone is entitled to have a bitch and a cry about any situation. They're in. I'm in the same boat as you (but without the toddler) I'm exhausted and usually do 90% of the household chores and work, I've had to take some time off work and OH is having to pick up most of the chores at home and he's defo thinking I'm putting it all on. I'm wiped out. If I'm not vomiting, I'm feeling nauseous and I stay in bed until I have to get up. So totally feel for you. Having said that I'm kinda grateful as I lost at 8 weeks in Jan and my sickness faded, so I'm pleased to have some reassurance. Hopefully it will fade. Mine really amped up after 8 weeks. I'm 9 now and would like to hope it's only gonna hang around for a few more weeks. Sending hugs. Xx

Hey all thanks for the words of support this weekend. I ended up in a&e yesterday as the pain became ridiculous. Scan confirmed no foetus and I was given morphine. Went back this morning for epu appt which they said to keep, further internal scan and bloods taken. It looks like baby died around 8weeks gestation.

I'm now waiting for the mc to complete, scan again next week to confirm. Next steps are tests when hcg is out of my system, prob around 6wks. And of course to get them opks out from the bottom drawer....

Wish you all the very best of luck with your pregnancies in the months ahead xxxx

I'm so so sorry @Yukka. How devastating. Be kind to yourself while you heal. You're in my thoughts

Oh yukka I am so sorry 💔

I'm sorry yukka I'm heartbroken for you and your OH
I will be thinking of you, stay strong
Lots of love xxxx

@yukka I am so sorry to hear this. It really has been so unfair on you! I hope sometime soon you get the answers and support you need! I'm wishing you lots and lots of baby dust xxx ❤

@Yukka so sorry babe. I hope it's all over quickly for you so you can begin to move on. Xx

@Yukka there are no words. Just sending you and your OH loads of love, hugs and support. You know where we are if you need us 💐

@Yukka I'm so sorry this happened. Wishing you healing vibes with hugs for you and your DH. Xx

So so sorry to hear this Yukka. Hope it's over quickly. Look after yourself and take care

Oh @yukka what devestating news. So sorry to hear this.

Sorry to hear this. Best wishes to you and OH

I'm so sorry for you @yukka this is just so sad. I hope that you recover well and stay positive, take care of yourself.x

Yukka I’m sorry to hear this was confirmed but glad your team seem on the ball. I hope things complete as quickly as possible and that your next trip to these boards is the successful one.

I’m still spotting on and off, having sharp cramps the last few days and nausea comes and goes. Seems better if I eat non stop and don’t move too much but obviously that’s not practical and I’ll be the size of a house by the end!

By scan dates I’m 8+1. I have an appointment to plan for my cerclage tomorrow, hoping they’ll do a quick scan. Have booking appointment on Saturday and my recurrent miscarriage appointment finally came through for the week after but expect it will be cancelled if I’m still pregnant by then.

Has anyone had any cravings so far? I'm 10 weeks tomorrow and for the last two weeks I've been craving chilli peppers.. you know the ones in a jar in brine? I've gone through 2 jars and I'm on the third.. I shout be shitting through the eye of a needle but I'm so constipated they're doing diddly squat.. I had pica when pregnant with my son and craved the smell of wood and shake n vac.. 🤣 those weird pregnancy hormones!

@Gemsie1984 just toast and other carbs. Not so much craving as I know they settle my stomach I think!

Cheese toasties 😊😊 ....I'm addicted
And also tomato sauce & mustard sandwiches 😂😂... they are soooo good! Xx

Yesterday I had avocado on toast for breakfast, scrambled egg on toast for lunch and toast and cheese for dinner! I made DH steak and chips but am totally off meat and didn’t want well done steak anyway!

(It was his birthday so was being nice!).

I'll have three days with terrible morning sickness where I'm so nauseous I can barely eat.. eg yesterday all I had was half a bowl of soup and a couple of glasses of milk and a bit of water... it will continue like that for days on end and I'll loose 2-3lbs in a few days..

I've woken up today like I've woken from hibernation with an insatiable appetite.. but all I want is chilli peppers and salami.. or fruit! I had plenty of padding before I fell pregnant, so was expecting to lose weight with the eating less but I've lost 18lb now.. should I be worried?

Gemsie speak to GP/MW or EPU. You may have hyperemesis. You can get tablets to stop vomiting and may need IV fluids for dehydration.

Peaches & cream is another one of my guilty pleasures haha!
😜😊

Hi ladies. Haven’t read the thread for a while as I found it was making my anxiety worse after no heartbeat at my scan. The great news is that I had another scan tonight and the baby was in there with a beautiful heart beat feel like I can breathe a little after holding my breath for 2 weeks! Due 29th Dec which is later than expected but not complaining!
