June 2019 babies - part 5!!!!

[socktastic]

2nd trimester for all the lovely June mummies out there! Yippee!!!

@Napssavelives I'm so so sorry to hear this - I expect you are feeling very alone right now but please please know you are NOT. We are here, I'm sure you have people IRL who won't let you sink under the pressure of this.

@annihall you just reminded me how very underwhelming my 20 week scan was last time...so I should probably prepare myself for that again!

Nap so sorry to hear that but at least you know now, the living in limbo must’ve been awful wondering what would happen. You can do this and things will get better. have you got family or close friends nearby to help with day to day support with dc if needed?

Good luck to all the upcoming scans.. and congratulations to all those that have seen there lovely bundles again!

@Napssavelives
I'm so sorry you are in this position, please try and keep your head up, at least you have something to look forward to..

I'm feeling much better, I'm almost certain it was the flu I had, I never saw anyone so never had anything confirmed!
Struggling to get my appetite back and have lost about 4lbs whilst unwell but my lil bean is ok can feel it wriggling about ☺️
So operation weight gain! Hard life

I’m so sorry @Napssavelives. Do you have someone with you? You will get through this, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now.

Good luck to everyone having their scans today.

@toomanyflatwhites sorry about the in-law invasion! Do you have anything fun planned?

@socktastic I don’t use the app, never heard of it. Did you not get a letter in the mail? We were told high risk results would be a phone call, low risk would be a letter.

@Napssavelives I'm so sorry to hear this. What a fool he is. Holding on to your hand, giving it a little stroke and cheering you on. You can do this. X

@Napssavelives I'm so sorry. Hopefully seeing your little one on the screen today will ease some of your worries.

@Kescilly so pleased your repeat scan went ok.

Good luck to those who have scans today xx

For ladies who have felt movement, I am a FTM and so far nothing. I am 20+2 today. Last night I had zero sleep, blame the OH snoring and SD climbing into our bed at 2am. From about 3am onwards I was lying there wide awake and suddenly felt what I can only describe as muscle twitches, similar to when you have a twitch in your eye or trapped nerve in your leg. Everything I have read says it should feel like butterflies or popping but I've had neither of those. It lasted about 30 mins and then I drifted off again. Could it be the baby or am I clutching at straws?! I've had nothing this morning...

Should have added muscle twitches just above my knicker line.

Hi all, I'm so rubbish at keping up with any chat, I think I joined on thread 1 or 2, can't believe how fast the threads are going. I'm not on the list either but expecting 2nd baby on 18th June. Already have a boy (2.5). Got my scan on monday.

Heebyjeeby Yup, that sounds like baby moving. I'm getting proper kicks already, feel like I have a ninja child inside me!!

@Napssavelives Can't believe he has left you. Sending you a big hand hold. Hope your scan went well.

@Napssavelives I'm so sorry this has happened to you. You must be feeling very vulnerable right now, but you WILL get through this and once baby is about 4 months old things will hopefully start to get easier. A tough road ahead for sure. Where do you live? Have you family nearby who can help out? X

@napssavelives I am sorry for you that you are going though this and I am angry for you too.

Get this scan over the line, come back and tell us it went well, and please tell your midwife team what has happened, I am going through nothing close to what you are and they were round at my house within an hour this week.

No family, I don’t see my parents - they aren’t good people . Scan went well, another boy! Placenta low lying sk repeat scan at 34 weeks

@Heebyjeeby99
That's what my movements have felt like and I have an anterior placenta

@Napssavelives So sorry to hear that. Now he’s made a decision you can at least begin to process and move forward. Uncertainty and heartbreak are the worst feelings but you can get through this! Try to keep busy. Do you have friends around if no family? As Paul said definitely contact your midwife team too

@heeby My movements sometimes feel like a twitch so it sounds like it is baby!

@Bigonesmallone3 and @stellarfox excited that it could be baby! I've felt nothing today so maybe she just comes awake in the early hours when I'm usually asleep! It was when I was lying on my back too, as soon as I turned to my side it stopped.

socktastic - I think the maternity notes app is a trial right now so do feedback to your midwife how frustrating it is!

Good scan results from last night - everything is looking normal. I also had a lovely and helpful ultrasound tech - she really went the extra mile staying late to try and get the last measurements when baby was not in the right position as she knew I'd come a long way and would struggle to get a second scan. Just thought I'd mention it to give everyone with scans still to come a little hope for a good experience!

@Napssavelives I'm so sorry for what you're going through. Not in the same situation but I have been through a marriage breakup so I'm here to hand hold. I won't suggest you pm me though because for some reason I can't access the desktop site.

After an uncomfortable night on Monday night, I seemed to wake up with a bump on Tuesday and have been very uncomfortable in my clothes ever since! Feeling so much pressure near my pubic bone and just a feeling like all my organs are being squashed. Can't say I'm enjoying pregnancy!

It’s horrendous. I don’t know how to keep going

We’ve just had the 20-week scan and our little girl looks all healthy and is developing well! Quite stubborn as she didn’t want to move into the right position at first but we got there in the end ;)
“A little beauty” the lovely sonographer lady said. Hope everyone else's scans today went well too! X

Nap get an appointment with your mw as soon as you can and talk it through with them. They will be able to help and support and refer you to the right people to help make things easier. You’re not alone in this and things will get better in time. I know it doesn’t feel like it’ll ever be ok but it will.

My scan went well. It's a boy and he kept batting the sonographer's wand away with his tiny fist.

@heebyjeeby definitely sounds like mine too, lying quietly on my back is peak wiggly time. Like @silversister mine doesn't seem to like any pressure even the flat of my hand, moves a lot if I have trousers a bit tight and even felt a little tap when the cat was sitting on my bump the other day 😂
@napssavelives nothing to add to what others have said other than I'm also thinking of you. Glad your new little boy is coming along nicely amongst all this stress

@Heyha I've not had anything today so starting to think it wasn't baby related....boo.

@heeby - Ive read and felt myself that movements are intermittent at first. I wasnt sure the first few days as they were so subtle, but now getting stronger!

@naps I'm sorry to hear your news, cant imagine how hard it is. Hand hold xxx
