Pregnancy after loss: spring 2019 edition (The Brexit Babes) 🐧 Part 2

[Pancakes7]

The old thread got closed at 1000 posts, I'm not sure why. So I've started this new one. I hope you all find it ok. @Swisbest2 @OneMoreWish @frankiefumbles @Kisses4u @hayleyfx @Maydot @Jessabean

@Kisses4u I wouldn't worry, every pregnancy is different. I'm sure baby is wriggling in there but you just can't feel it yet.

@kisses4u I've read about people not feeling baby until later in second pregnancy so everyone really is different! Plus your placenta might be in a different place which would change what you feel. I'm really hit and miss sometimes think I can feel something then talk myself out of it haha. Sure I felt something's Last night and this morning but who knows! Can't wait for hubby to feel it too x

How far along are you now @xJune88 ? Yes I think I'm just worrying for the sake of worrying. Must try to focus on other things. Threw up again this morning, so my hormones must be raging which is reassuring! 😆 plus I am now past the 'is she fat or is she pregnant' stage! Thank goodness! I hated ppl not saying anything for worry of offending 😆 I look like I've eaten a football now. A small one mind, but a very pregnant belly now! Much sooner than with DS! 😆

@kisses4u 18 weeks you? Haha I'm still at the pregnant or fat stage but when I lean back I get a ball of muscle/bulge sticking out of my muscles down the middle of my stomach it's weird. Think my abs are trying to cling on haha. Xx

How's everyone getting on? It's the countdown for 20 week scans now isn't it. Mine's 3 weeks on Friday. 17 weeks now. The weeks seem to be flying by now. The first 12 weeks took ages!

Hey everyone 👋🏼
I completely agree @Pancakes7, the weeks are definitely flying by!! I was 24 weeks yesterday so our little girl is now officially a proper little person and wriggling about so much! OH is feeling kicks all the time now... So exciting!
I’m suffering a bit with an achy back and terrible pins and needles in my hands now, i’m Feeling really pregnant and my bump is HUGE!!!!
How’s everyone else doing?

@Jessabean you can’t be far behind me?

Aww @maydot so exciting that OH can feel baby too!! I can't wait for that. 9 days to go until scan for me 🤞 starting to get fatter and fatter haha. Xx

@Maydot Aw wow, 24 weeks! That's amazing. I bet your bump is big now. Mine is getting there. Quite enjoy having a bump. Feels more real. 22 days till our 20 week scan!

@xJune88 Ooh only 9 days to go, not long!! How exciting.

Yeah @pancakes7 still can't shake anxiety though. I just feel normal which I'm not liking at all! Can't wait for a bump either I just look bloated haha xx

@xJune88 I'm sure your bump will pop out soon. Yes anxiety is difficult. But do try and enjoy your pregnancy as much as you can and think positive.

@xJune88 You could try Headspace? I used it alot after what happened. It really helped.

Hey guys!

Sorry for going quiet I totally got lost! Think I didn't get an email with the first tag for some reason and had been keeping an eye out on the pregnancy boards Vs antenatal clubs! 🙈
Found you now though! And thanks @Pancakes7 for setting up a new thread. Great to hear everyone's coming along well. So many 20 week scans coming up!
Also congrats @hayleyfx is great to see you here. Really hoping all goes smoothly for you this time! How are you getting on?
Congrats @Swisbest2 on your 12 week scan and results - big hurdles ticked off!
Also congrats @Maydot for your repeat 20 weeks scan. Yay a little girl! 💕 yea I'm 23 and a bit weeks now & really starting to feel pregnant. Bump is huge like I can't believe there's another 4 months of growing 😱 properly getting the lower back pains & is definitely no doubt when she's kicking/wriggling away anymore either. Did take a while though for me to be definite with the movements - think was like 20/21 weeks before I started to feel more confident about them. Had my repeat 20 weeks scan on Monday (couldn't get all the pics at the first one couple of weeks back as she wouldn't stay still!) and all was fine so with that and regular movements starting to feel I can just relax a bit more now! Know I'll still have my moments occasionally though! Think that's all up to date with me.
Have you guys started tackling names yet? Me and OH have managed a shortlist but was pretty painful- we have completely different tastes it seems! 🙈

@jessabean must be so lovely to feel definitive movements and have comfort from your 20 week scan. I can't wait for that time.
Just over two weeks until my 20 week scan now.
We have two names so far, Jacob (would be know as Jake) and Grace. We need to get a couple more incase we go off them!
@junex88 Also struggling with anxiety, just hoping all goes well at 20 week scan then hopefully won't be too long after to start feeling definite movements.
Lovely to hear whether people are having boys or girls. For those that have found out has it been the sex you were expecting? xxx

@Jessabean I'm glad you found us. How exciting feeling kicks. I can't wait to feel kicks soon. We have a shortlist of boy and girl names. We've started buying a few things. We got a few second hand bits on Facebook really cheap. Worth a look.

@pancakes7 that's a good idea. one of my friends sent me a list. Haven't a clue most of it actually is but will worry about that later!
Is your scan just after new years? I'm hoping having Christmas etc will help make the wait for our scans easier! xxx

@dreaminofholidays Yes mines 4th Jan. I'm hoping the same, that Christmas and New year will make time go quickly. I'll be 20 weeks plus 4 by then too. When's yours again? Was it 27th? How many weeks will you be then?

@pancakes7 Mines 28th when I will be 20 weeks exactly. xxx

@dreaminofholidays Oh that's good timing. I bet you can't wait.

Hello everyone! I felt some movement last few days! OH put his hand on bump just in time to feel a pop sensation! So we will call that his 1st kick! Was a relief to feel something after all my worrying about it. It's a lot sooner than with DS but they say you feel sooner with your second as you just know what it's going to feel like 😊
Yes my scans the 28th too! I'll be 19+6 exactly. So only one day behind @dreaminofholidays and 2 days behind one of my good friends who is having no. 3 🙀

@Kisses4u Aw how lovely to feel a kick. I can't wait to feel baby kicking.

So im 16 weeks sun i THINK ive felt some movement... normally when i get up and sit crossed legged or go for morning wee it has felt quite diatinct and theres a couple then gonw again. Could be just my head making it up though 🤔 trying to remain as sane as possible until 16th jan.thats when they can fit me in for 20 week scan

@Swisbest2 Aw that's exciting, movement already. I'm so glad it's Friday! Me and DH are off Monday too for his birthday, so will be a busy weekend but atleast it's a long one!

Pretty sure I've felt movements now for the last few days. Very small and discrete but never felt it before not pregnant so it has to be baby haha. Feel like tiny kicks but so so gentle it's lovely and reassuring! 6 days to go until scan yipee! Hope you're all ok 😘xx
