Babies Due May 2020 thread 2

[ChampooPapi]

A shiny new thread for our May mum's.

A big thank you to @Shak19 for setting up the original thread, you started this group and we are all so grateful for that.

Here we go, month three in the pregnancy journey 👣

@Mystie I just saw your update. I am so sorry it ended this way for you but really wanted to wish you all the best. You sound incredibly brave and strong and it will happen.

Hello! Please may I join you ladies? I haven't told people in real life yet so nice to be able to talk about it here!

I think I'm about 7ish weeks. Will have a scan on Thursday so looking forward to that. I have 2 DC already (4.5 and just turned 2) so feel pretty relaxed about it, apart from the fact that they were both NHS babies and this one will be born in Bangkok!! So a bit of a different experience!

Good luck to everyone on here. I hope you're getting through any sickness. I've gone right off most food here and spent a fortune on imported, bland, European stuff as I just need plain food! I'd kill for a Ribena and a packet of mini cheddars right now!!

I'm so sorry, I read a load of pages but hadn't read the last couple when I posted. So sorry Mystie. I've been in your shoes and I know there isn't much anyone can say. I hope you have good support around you. I know it sounds trite but it does get easier.

Today is my worst day for feeling sick :( Having trouble eating and drinking anything. Tried fruit as one PP suggested but I cannot stomach it. I think my stomach acid is rioting and even gaviscon isn't working 😭

Then I feel guilt after reading poor Misty's message

@Raindancer411 please give simple plain greek yogurt a try that really helped my heartburn. fingers crossed xxx

< waves @Eledamorena >

Must be costing you a small fortune in blond English nibbles, keep us updated on things out in Bangkok, interesting to know what the care will be out there, bet it's fabulous 🌴

Today is just one of those days where we all can look forward to tomorrow I think. All the best to everyone out there

Ohh @Mystie you have made me cry, I am so so sorry you have had to face this. Our bodies can do the most amazing things but also can be so so cruel and a mmc is truly just awful when your body seemingly doesn’t want to give up. I found that bit so hard but that was in May and I’ve come through the other side. You have been so extremely brave and thank you for sharing and being so supportive to everyone.

Be kind to yourself and look after each other. I just kept thinking, that was not meant to be, and hopefully when this baby arrives (if all goes well) I’ll just know it was meant to be the one to complete our family.

Big hugs and take care of you. And please please be sure to keep us updated

Hi everyone, my second scan is due tomorrow at 10+5, so hopefully all is well. Haven't told anyone apart from Dh so far

Ladies! a miracle or something bad happened for the last 2 hours i felt normal. i'm not sick and i have energy/ i am doing house chores/ laundry tidying and prepping for dinner!

i forgot what normal was but i really home nothing is wrong 😢😢😢 why do i suddenly feel not pregnant 😭😭😭😭 i now know what u ladies meant when u said the same before, hope i get the sickness back in time to reassure me.

@Caspianberg yaay that's exciting! congratulations at least you might now be able to share the news with loved ones! is it your first? how r u feeling? 😘😘😘👍🏼

Thank you ALL.

Cannot tell you what a comfort your messages have been on such a difficult day.

I'll be back! 🤞🏼😘

@facevalue - feeling ok now. Was ill until around 8-9 weeks, then sickness all day suddenly disappeared. Now just occasional.
Is the first baby, will be born overseas as we are currently based abroad for work. Will have to facetime family.

@Mystie I have been thinking about you the last few days and was wondering how you were, it must be really hard to talk and think about it but thanks so much for letting us know how things are going. It’s so reassuring to hear that you are being looked after and have support, wishing you all the very best for the future

After seeing the gp on Thursday my midwife contacted me Friday morning and told me to go to a&e about the bleeding. I was seen relatively quickly and was given a scan time for this morning, it was the earliest they could do... went along not knowing what to expect but they were all so lovely there, the sonographer said he needed to give me an internal to get a better look and I thought it must have been because he wasn’t able to see anything and it wasn’t meant to be this time but no, once he finished his investigations he turned the screen towards me and told me that there definitely is a pregnancy, and it’s twins!

I’ve been trying to get my head round it all day, my DH is in a complete tizzy!!

@JBfletcherstypewriter omg that's fantastic news! i really prayed for a twin but we only saw one 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 congratulations xxx hope it all goes smoothly from now on

are they scanning u again?

@Mystie so much respect for you, you strong lady. I'm glad you've got a good support network around us, and bless our fantastic NHS staff. xxx

@JBFletcherstypewriter holy moly, i wondered if there would be a multiple pregnancy on this forum. How do you feel about it?!

@facevalue the sonographer mentioned something about having much more frequent scans but they didn’t mention anything about me going back to them again? So I’m not sure... I haven’t even had my booking in appointment with the midwife yet so I’ll have to ask her when I see her. I have told her though as I was in touch with her last week about the bleeding..

@CharlieB93 I’m really not sure how I feel, well I feel excited, overwhelmed, happy, freaking out - all in one really! I have a 19 month old DD now and when I think of it practically wise I panic, pushchair for 3, 3 car seats that won’t fit in my current car, where they’re going to sleep etc etc... It’s also only my husband and I here, all my family are abroad so we have no other support so that makes me wonder how we’ll cope!! But then I think about how blessed we are and how I’ll just have to go with it!!

@Mystie thank you for sharing your story, I’m so so sorry for what you’ve been through and hope you get your little bundle of joy soon 💕

@JBFletcherstypewriter wow that is amazing!! Twins!! But lots to get your head around yes but so exciting!

So I thought I’d share a little bump pic at 10-11 weeks, hows everyone else looking?

@JBFletcherstypewriter huge congratulations 💕💕💕 there is another set of twins due in May too but I'm not sure if she's just on the fb group rather than Mumsnet now? I can't remember her handle on here...

@Mystie sending you lots of love 💕 You sound amazingly strong. 🌈 xxx

@Mystie

So sorry to hear this x sending you so much love x 💗

@Mystie I'm so sorry to hear that, Mystie. I can't even begin to imagine how you must feel, but I am so glad to hear that you are being supported. I would really like for you to post on this forum when you become pregnant again so that we can all congratulate you on your rainbow baby - which will happen. You have been in my thoughts and will continue to be x

As for me, hi again everyone, I'm feeling ok, just exhausted and honestly still super anxious. I saw baby's heart beat last Wednesday at 6+1 which reassured me for about 3 days, now I'm back to feeling worried again. In my mind, I'm constantly thinking 'how do I know everything is ok in there?!' and driving myself crazy (which is one of the reasons I have kept away from this forum - trying to train my brain not to think of anything 'baby' as much as possible). I missed this forum, though, and was thinking about it every day! I haven't told many friends and the friend I have told has never been pregnant and can't offer much advice or understanding. Now, reading through the messages on here, I just want to post and offer both congratulations to those with happy news, support to those who need it and to post my anxious feelings as it does help writing it down. xxx

So yesterday I ended up going to the doctor as although I know the nausea, sickness, and tiredness should ease up at 12/13 weeks, I don’t think I could face another 4/5 weeks of being incapable of doing anything for longer than 5 minutes! I have some anti-sickness tablets I can take when it’s particularly rough, so hopefully I can get some things done now... I feel pretty rubbish and wussy for not being able to handle it, as everyone keeps saying it’s normal, but it’s been a real struggle so far. I’m impressed with everyone else’s willpower, well done!

Also wow to @JBFletcherstypewriter, congrats on the twins! Did you have any idea? Are there twins in your family?

@Mystie I'm so sorry 😔
It's such a difficult journey and it feels desperately unfair.
Lots of rest & relaxation. Take care.

So sorry @Mystie. Sending you and your family lots of love x

Anyone else feel like chopping their boobs off?? Mine have been sore since conception I think. But past few days they have just constantly felt heavy, achy, stabby, razor blades on my nipps, like they're being subjected to an electric shock or something.
I've invested in some new sports bras which I had just intended to sleep in, but they're so comfortable I'll be wearing them daily.

Nausea is vile. Managed some clear soup and some ice cream today though and haven't thrown it all up.

Just feel I could stay in bed all day at the minute!!
