April 2019 babies continued

[sachabloom]

A new thread for us to catch up on!

@mummy2019 the start is just awful it's so full
Of worry and anxieties about the future not to mention the sky rocketing hormones and nausea etc. maybe try getting out for a walk every other evening stick the head phones in . This was my saving grace last time any time I felt myself slipping into a mood I'd put some good music on and go for a walk or wait til me and dh had put the kids down to bed and go for a walk around the neighborhood. It's keeping our legs and backsides firm if nothing else lol. I was worrying about money due to fact I'm part time and will not be entitled to maternity pay but I think I can get maternity allowance which is good . I'm also due the last month of uni which I initially did freak out over by then thought if some people can have a baby half way through uni I can have one in the last month of my degree , it will all work out . Xoxox

@lolacola13 aw yes you will be just fine. That's a good idea. I think the problem is that I don't get any time for myself at the moment. Suppose it's not going to get any easier with a third child in the mix either right enough 🤣. I have felt slightly better today although my back is killing me. How many weeks are you? Xxx

I keep telling myself no matter what the baby will have a full belly a home and parents whose love him/her and that's all that matters! Never mind the bs of everything else. I'm 8 weeks and 5 days! Nine weeks on tues . Just home from Majorca lovely break with fam but soooo glad to get home being preg on holiday isn't for me lol no sangria , the smells of the breakfast buffet no energy to play in pool and queasy until 2/3pm . Got my booking in appointment on 27th of this month. Nervous 😬

So I'm onto my third as well! I have big age gaps though 12 and 5...

Hope the scan on the 14th goes well @cookielove. I have everything crossed for you 🤞🤞

Hi @mummy2019 I'm having exactly the same this past few days. Out of nowhere I've been hit by vile moods and then uncontrollable crying which then leaves me so drained. Yesterday I spent most of the day on the sofa zombified!! I've also developed a sudden paranoia that everything's gone wrong and my scan will be a nightmare, I think because people have started finding out. I don't remember being like this before and I'm sure it's just hormones as I've woken up with nausea this morning for the first time in weeks!! It's so exhausting though!!! Hope you're feeling better xxx

Thank you @Beaglemum93

I'm feeling really dejected today... I barely have any symptoms left. 9+5 today and just keep thinking it's all gone wrong.
I hope I'm wrong :/

Oh Treacle, do you have a scan date? Can you call your local EPU and see if you can be fitted in or go private locally for peace of mind. You might just be feeling better? X

@lolacola13 your right. I do think it's just hormones but god I wish it would hurry up and pass. I was so positive last week and now I'm so anxious and low. I can imagine your holiday was hard going. We're away to Blackpool tomorrow for two days with kids and friends and away to Tenerife in October and I can see both far enough the now to be honest. I also have my booking appointment on 18th September. I take it you don't have your scan date through as yet? Xxx

@Fluffy475 hi there. Sounds like we are going through the exact same thing at the moment. It's so difficult isn't it. I'm the same with the nausea and I think that's adding to it along with all the other hormones. I need to stay positive for my other two young children but I must admit it's a task in itself just now. I know I will get through it and it just takes time. How many weeks are you now? Do you have any other kids? Thank you so much for replying. It's nice to know your not alone xxx

Hi all,
I'm 8 weeks today with our first, after an early dating scan put me back a few weeks. I thought I had gotten away with the sickness but it hit me yesterday unfortunately! I hate feeling ill and tired all the time. Does anyone else feel guilty on their other half? I just feel so drained and like I'm hardly helping around the house, but he's going the extra mile to make sure I'm OK and got everything I need. Hope I perk up again in second trimester! x

Hi Baby boo I’m 8 weeks today too, although I haven’t had a dating scan yet. I think you just ha e to be selfish, if you need to rest and your husband is happy to step up, let him!
Congratulations :)

@mummy2019 over in ni here they do booking in and scan at 11-13 weeks. So I'll get my scan and all the bloods taken height weight lifestyle questions . It's a good 45 mins hour long appointment but the following appointments are much quicker then a scan again at 20 weeks . I think I'm going to
Go for a reassurance scan on Tuesday. Il be 9 weeks just to settle my nerves after holiday lol

@lolacola13 aw that's great. Here in Scotland we get a booking in appointment at around 8 weeks then our appointment for our 12 week scan is given to us then. It's such a long wait for it tho. I think the reassurance scan is a great idea especially after your holidays. I'm sure I turn 12 weeks when I'm on holiday so will need to wait until afterwards. How r u feeling now? I have actually moved myself and done some ironing and organising for going away tomorrow and feel a good bit better xx

@SheRaTheAllPowerful scan is on the 21st so not too long to wait. Hopefully I'm just having one of those days.
Thank you

Hello everyone, sorry for being a bit quiet--The Fear is real here, especially with a dating scan tomorrow morning, so trying (and failing) to keep my mind off pregnancy! This scan will be at 10+3, but it sort of feels like my previous 12 week scans for some reason- I've had a 12 week scan in 3 previous pregnancies but only once seen a live baby (so as not to freak anyone out this is very unusual!!!) so am absolutely bricking it. DH forbidden from attending as he's looking after DS and don't want toddler DS there in case of bad news.

Hope everyone else is well, nausea and fatigue etc notwithstanding x

Giving you a hand hold @Monkerina & hoping for great news tomorrow. I have my booking in appointment, starts feeling real now x

@monkerina I'll be thinking of you tomorrow hun- I've been there and it's just awful
Have you had any earlier scans this time around? I'm getting scanned on Wednesday I'll be 7w+2.really nervous as lost 2 before 7w- but just have to keep the faith and hope all is well...
Keep us posted

@cookielove fx your next scan is perfect!

Thanks ladies. Yes I had a scan at 6+1 which showed a heartbeat, but had the same in my last pregnancy and the baby had died by the 12 week scan and just so scared of the same happening again.

@cookielove, just read your post- fingers crossed for your next scan x

@mummy2019 I was feeling like an actual bag of trash earlier the weeks holiday with kids took it outta me and the late flight home didn't get to my bed til 2am . Had a lovely bath and face mask and feel loads better! Phoned window to the womb today they can get me in Tuesday lunchtime . Wish it was tomorrow . Feeling anxious . Hope this little bean is still ticking away I had an early scan at clinic at 7 weeks and i seen heartbeat just praying it's still there.

I'm marking my place on here. I am not good at following threads on mn but I'm taking a fb break at the moment as my mental health wasn't great and I'd like to follow at least one of my antenatal groups in the interim (first one is fb only these days as our babies are coming up to two!)

I'm 9 weeks now and my symptoms disappeared for a week but have come back again in the exhaustion just in time for my two new work families staying this week, always great timing! I have my booking in tomorrow afternoon and will have my toddler with me, should be fun! It's at home though so at least she can be distracted easily if need be (Ben and Holly....)

@monkerina sorry to hear about your previous loss- it is so difficult I know, and there's nothing that anyone can say or do that can help the worry- but Fx all is well tomorrow. I have been there twice before, and nothing can prepare you...I'm also just living scan to scan at the moment - because I know a heartbeat doesn't necessarily mean everything will be ok... just need to see that heartbeat is still going and hope that it continues to term 🤞🏽

I hope all goes well tomorrow monkerina

@lolacola13 that's great you have an appointment for Tuesday. It's not long away now. I'm sure everything will be just fine. U must let me know how it goes?! I totally understand you must've been shattered. I just got our flights booked for Tenerife yesterday and the coming home one doesn't get in until 3:20am 😫 I'm gonna be a mess lol. Xx
