Starting a new thread as we near the 1000 comment mark on the Part 2 one!

It is nearly December and I am sure all we want for Xmas are healthy pregnancies and babies Star

Good luck to everyone still here and so sorry for how many we have already lost on the way Flowers

Here is a new, editable, link for the google Doc Register:

Going to be exciting when the 12 week scan photos start rolling in!

@stargazydrifter 😂 There are no words!!

Twistering · 23/11/2018 23:07

@ratherbeshowjumping just checked in and I am beyond gutted to see this my lovely. It’s so unfair. Give that man of your a big squeeze and look after each other and spend time just doing things that make you feel good. Each of my losses have been followed generally by lovely trips or holidays reminding ourselves how lucky we are to have each other, life is ok and everything else is a bonus. But there’s obviously no right or wrong, stay in bed all day if you want to. Please pop back and see us and let us know you’re doing ok. Thinking of you xxx

Capybaras · 23/11/2018 23:12

I’m so sorry for those of you who have had bad news today. Make sure you look after yourselves.

TwittleBee · 23/11/2018 23:13

So sorry for how many of us have had bad news today, my thoughts are with you all and I really hope you are all as good as you can be and wishing you all the best for the future.

ratherbeshowjumping I'm not surprised that was traumatic, i am so sorry Sad Flowers

Thank you everyone for the kind words

Hi ladies, can I join? (Very cautiously!)
I’m 5+1 currently and so nervous. Basically -
December 2017 - missed miscarriage at a scan at 11 weeks. Baby stopped growing at 6 weeks.
2 chemical pregnancies - both at 4 weeks.
August 2018 - lost my son at 14 weeks pregnant. He had an encephalocele (neural tube defect) and was seriously ill. Had to terminate for his sake. Was very traumatic, he was doing perfectly until 12 weeks. He was a beautiful little baby, so glad I got to hold him. We named him Charlie.

After all this, in the space of one year, I’m just so scared. I got my BFP 10/11 days ago and I’m nervous about everything!! Can’t imagine having a healthy pregnancy I guess 😣 Already feeling so tired and having to nap a lot, I was the same in my last pregnancy and this may be crazy but I can’t wait for sickness to start. It’s just reassuring. I lost so much weight when pregnant with my son, couldn’t keep anything down but was honestly grateful for being sick haha 🙈

I’m so sorry to see that some people have had bad news - I know how you all feel. It’s just indescribable how much it hurts you emotionally. Sending you all strength and hugs x

StargazyDrifter · 23/11/2018 23:36

hayleyfx Welcome and sorry you've been through it, that's such a lot of heartache. Teeny tiny and very hopeful congratulations to you, really hope all goes well for you.

There's a link at the top of this thread where people have been adding their EDD. Feel free to add yours when you're ready.

Georgeofthejungle · 23/11/2018 23:46

Hi everyone!

I’m 5+4 with DC2. I have a DS2 already. So far so good although I have a near constant dull ache in my lower abdomen for over a week. Been to the doc who says I have to wait until 6 weeks before they can scan me. Will ring on Monday if it still keeps up!

Can’t beleive some ladies have managed to lose weight. I’m a bit gutted to have but on a stone already and feel so bloated. I worked so hard to lose 4 stone before TTC and feel like it’s going out of the window quickly! None of my clothes fit and had to go buy some stretchy clothes today in the next size up 🙄😮

So sorry to hear some ladies are having bad news. I just tell myself that my body knows what it’s doing and if something isn’t right then it knows, if that’s makes sense! Not any easier to take however! xx

TheScaredyKat · 24/11/2018 01:03

So sorry to read about all the bad news today, take care of yourselves. Let's all give thanks for the wonderful people we have around us already x x x

Holty99 · 24/11/2018 06:55

So sorry to hear of all the bad news yesterday. Big hugs to all. I've had 3 MC myself so know how devastating it is.

I have my 7 wk scan today and am bricking it as the last 2 were bad news in previous pregnancies. Morning sickness has pretty much gone too which I don't think bodes well.

Laburna · 24/11/2018 07:13

@ratherbeshowjumping I'm so sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself, it's such a horrible thing, and no-one deserves it at all. I hope you and DH can look after each other hugs

MakeAWhish · 24/11/2018 07:40

Ooh, may I join? Currently 4w6d with #3. Due July 28th. I have a private viability scan booked for 9th Dec and midwife booking in appointment on 12th Dec.

DartmoorDoughnut · 24/11/2018 07:43

@ @TwittleBee @itslilsebastian @ratherbeshowjumping So sad to read all of your news 😢 sending (((hugs))) to you all

TwinkleDay · 24/11/2018 07:44

Shedding a bit of light and positivity this morning as I think we all need it after yesterday.

@ratherbeshowjumping can’t imagine how your feeling, Sending love your way and a rainbow 🌈 xxx

DartmoorDoughnut · 24/11/2018 07:45

Blinking phone took your name off BettySwoll0cks thinking of you xx

ratherbeshowjumping · 24/11/2018 08:23

Thank you all for the lovely kind words & the support 😘😘 I'm welling up reading through.
I know how common it is to have a miscarriage but I do wish people would talk about it more.
Luckily DH & I have a lovely long weekend booked in 2 weeks time, we're off to Prague to watch a big showjumping competition, so trying to focus on that at the minute. We fell pg with this little one with a very halfhearted first try so I'm clinging, perhaps a little too dearly, to the fact it should happen again quickly.

Xxxx

jaykaydee · 24/11/2018 08:51

Sending love to those of you currently experiencing losses.

Welcome to those of you joining us.

Had a very disturbes night last night. I noticed yesterday that my breasts were starting to feel kind of full and tender. Took me ages to get comfortable to go to sleep. Not long later I woke up, think I woke DD up as I banged into the wall going to the toilet (should have just turned the lights on!) and she would not settle again for ages. Then I could NOT get comfortable again. Think I'll have to get out my box of maternity clothes from last time and find my sleep tops before tonight comes around and see if that helps. Probably time to dig out the non wires bras too.

KinCat · 24/11/2018 09:00

So sorry to catch up on so much sad news. Thinking of you all.

I tried to get the flu vaccine today but there's no stock in my usual GP, going to try somewhere else on Monday. I'm pretty sure BIL has just had flu - really hoping I haven't caught it from him!

Still no sickness here, just tender breasts and insanely tired.

Rose68 · 24/11/2018 09:04

Hi Ladies, I have still been keeping half an eye on the thread (I couldn’t let go just yet), and I wanted to pop back on to say I am so sorry for all the bad news yesterday. It is so devastating and hurts so much, I am still crying. For those of you waiting for second scans, the nhs wanted us to wait 2 weeks, so we booked a private scan 1 week later. No way could I have waited 2 weeks.
Sending you all loads of love and hugs and best wishes for the future.
xxxxx

Twistering · 24/11/2018 09:22

@TwittleBee no idea how I missed your post but just seen your news. Absolutely everything crossed for you that things are just on a go slow and all will be well. Positive vibes and big love sent your way xx

AIDE2424 · 24/11/2018 09:41

Well after a over night stay in EPU and no further in knowing what’s a matter, I have fluid in my right tube and that’s about all I’ve found out xx

Giraffe888 · 24/11/2018 09:50

@AIDE2424 I hope you’re not waiting too long to get some answers. Fingers crossed for you x

Giraffe888 · 24/11/2018 09:52

@ratherbeshowjumping I’m so sorry for your loss and traumatic experience yesterday. Sending you lots of love x

@twinkleday I think we all need that positivity right now x

Frazzlerock · 24/11/2018 10:23

Morning everyone.

I just wanted to say how saddened I am by all this horrible news. My heart physically aches for you all. And you're all being so brave. You don't have to be, you know.
And if you want to talk outside of the group then please drop me a PM.
Like so many of us, I've been there, and know the pain too well. I feel like there's never enough support so I just want to say I'm always at the end of a MN PM
I don't mind giving my number privately if you need to verbally let off steam either.

Me? Well I'm still clinging to every ounce of positivity I can get. I was feeling pretty nauseous last night so that gave me confidence. My boobs were also a bit sore if I squashed them yesterday, but today that's gone again 🙄

I'm talking to Popsy all the time willing him/her to hang on in there. I've told them we will see them on Weds and they will be a proper wriggly little thing with a heartbeat.

DP bought me the rainbow baby pack from Kicks Count and I'm wearing the little rainbow bracelet which, I've decided, is my little good luck charm.

Welcome to the new recruits Brew

Giraffe888 · 24/11/2018 10:32

@frazzlerock what a lovely post and how nice of you to offer support to others x

I’ve still got everything crossed for you. I’m still just very bloated and very sore boobs when I put pressure on them! X

DianaBlythe · 24/11/2018 10:33

Oh gosh what a horrible day. How unbelievably shit. I don’t have any good words so just sending lots of love.
It really is common isn’t it? And we really don’t talk about it.
Hope you are all able to be kind to yourselves this weekend.
