Hey! Just wanted to start up a thread because I couldn’t find another one, just got my BFP today after about 6 months of trying. Due date is 1st august! Still feeling nervous as I’ve had 2 miscarriages in the past but both before 6 weeks, so ill be keeping my fingers crossed and wont let myself get too excited until that deadline has passed!

Hope to hear from other ladies due at the same time, and hear your BFP stories :) xx

@TerribleImagination that must have been so difficult for you to write. I'm so sorry, you have such a good support network. X

Jojo19834 · 15/12/2019 06:39

@TerribleImagination sorry this has happened, wish you well for the future babies xx

NamiSwan · 15/12/2019 07:10

@TerribleImagination so sorry for your loss ☹️

@Gina23 have just requested to join the FB group. I'm usually on FB a lot 😳 so will be good to have support on there.

We told DHs parents and sister yesterday. His dad barely reacted 😂 his mum was very happy. It'll be our third baby and their fifth grandchild though so not surprised they didn't make a fuss. My sister in law said her partner had noticed I was slower at park run recently and they had been wondering why 😂🙈

Does anyone else run here or just me?! I have continued doing it since getting my BFP but so tired all the time it's been a struggle.

@TerribleImagination I'm so very sorry. Having recently been through a miscarriage I know there is nothing I can say. I'm glad you have a supportive partner and can take some time to heal x

Kbr1986 · 15/12/2019 07:23

@TerribleImagination sorry to hear that. I can't imagine how horrible it is but glad you have support there

Tink12345 · 15/12/2019 07:38

@TerribleImagination So so sorry. Glad you are being looked after Flowers

MamaGem3 · 15/12/2019 08:10

@TerribleImagination im ao sorry for your loss, myself and partner have been in that situwation we have lost 3 of our angels. cry, scream, be angry, talk, let all the emotions out, so nice to hear you have a supportive partner. sending big hugs xx

Frazzlerock · 15/12/2019 08:22

@TerribleImagination I'm so so sorry. It's a horrible experience and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I'm so sorry this is happening to you sweetheart. I've said this before but if you need to talk then feel free to PM me. Thinking of you 🧡

@nl192 wow, what a rollercoaster you've been on. I so hope this is the one for you and huge luck for your scan on Monday. Welcome to the thread!

@Timeforanamechangeagain1 welcome and sorry for your loss. I think most of us have experienced losses in the group so you're in good hands.

@Struggs90 welcome to you too! I'm also struggling not to tell people. I'm not keeping it much of a secret as if we lose this one as well then I'd most likely tell people anyway. We're not telling the DS's yet though as they've found the past three MCs quite hard, especially our youngest (he's a sensitive soul)
I've also got a scan on 20th 🤞

Hi @Newbie2703 welcome and congrats!

@NamiSwan I'm a keen runner and have done a few Park Runs and several half marathons over the years. We did a beautiful Park Run through a vineyard when we were camping this year.
However, I ran still when we were expecting our first lost baby and I irrationally blamed it on that (amongst other things). I know it's perfectly safe to keep up any exercise that you've always done, but I can't risk it after 3 losses, much as I'd love to. I'm really worried I'll get huge without exercise! But it's worth it for peace of mind. Mind you, I was terrified to move in my last pregnancy and stayed wrapped up on the sofa until 9 weeks and we lost the baby anyway so I just don't know anymore 🤷‍♀️

As for me, I'm terrified of having sex. I told DP yesterday and he was so sweet about it. Said it's the least of our worries. I'm usually the one with the high sex drive so it's weird for me. It's not even the penetration part, it's having orgasms too. I'm just scared it will kick off another MC. I'm going to talk to our RMC consultant at our scan on Friday and see what she says.
I wish we could just have a happy pregnancy without all this worry. I never had this when preg with my DS as I naively thought MC only happened to 'other people' 🙄

TerribleImagination · 15/12/2019 08:28

You’re all so so lovely. Thank you for your beautiful words, and I’m so sorry to anyone who’s also been through this xxx

jennielm · 15/12/2019 08:59

@Terribleimagination I’m so sorry Flowers

Beardy1 · 15/12/2019 09:23

@Gina23 thanks for setting up the fb group. I’ve just requested to join. I too had a fb mumsnet group with my dec 17 baby. We are still really close now and it’s my mum hood saviour.

Sorry to hear of the recent losses. I’m sending all my hugs your way.

My nausea has hit so hard. I was really bad in my previous pregnancies but don’t remember it starting this early at 5 weeks. Had my work do last Friday and Managed to get away without drinking. Told everyone my son wasn’t well which was true and needed a clear head. Woop.

Xx

DiaryOfaTTCer · 15/12/2019 09:52

@TerribleImagination I am so sorry to hear what you’ve been through, hope you are okay Flowers

@Frazzlerock I’m scared to have sex too, I’m just worried something will go wrong if we do!

@Newbie2703 Congratulations!!!

PandaPink · 15/12/2019 11:00

Just tried to take my multivitamin...even cut it in half. That came straight back up! Sad

Babykent2019 · 15/12/2019 16:29

Hi All, I've been hovering the last few days, caught up on the comments and sent a request to join the FB. I'm currently:

31-32 when baby's born
5W 0 days today
1st baby (2nd pregnancy, MMC in June, found out at 12 weeks, baby had stopped growing at 6)
Symptoms: Fatigue, napped today and yesterday, starving hungry , frequent peeing, massive and I meen massive nipples already, metallic taste in mouth.

However no nausea and my boobs aren't really hurting yet, nips are bigger but only sensitive when pressed- I notice a lot of you have these two symptoms so a bit worried 😟 based on my experience earlier this yr. When did your boobs started hurting, Nausea?

Babykent2019 · 15/12/2019 16:31

.... also I'm due around August 16th x x x

Tink12345 · 15/12/2019 20:50

@Babykent2019
I'm 5+6 and my boobs have just started hurting today. Had on and off pre menstrual type aches prior to this but nothing to write home about.

Frazzlerock · 15/12/2019 20:52

Hi @Babykent2019 congratulations. Sorry you've had to experience a MMC. They're awful.
Re boobs, mine didn't hurt until a bit later on in other pregnancies but this one they have hurt from the TWW. Like people say, every pregnancy is different.
BTW, I get the feeling we might be the only ones left here since the FB group has started I don't use FB so will be sticking here. Probs on my own 😂

Frazzlerock · 15/12/2019 20:53

PS, I'm a Kent dweller too 😊

LucyC2019 · 15/12/2019 21:54

I'm still here too... thought I'd keep an eye on both... something to read at 2am when I cant sleep too. Haha.

I'm 6 - 3 and have had sore boobs from about 3 weeks. Was one of the signs that I should test. That and falling asleep while eating a pizza 😂🤦🏻‍♀️. I've had mild nausea and did have mild cramping too. But that's it so far.

Have booked for an early reassurance scan for this coming Saturday. Just need to know our little bug is okay xx

LanieM87 · 15/12/2019 22:39

I'm still here too! 🙋🏻‍♀️

22Ash22 · 16/12/2019 06:12

Good luck @LucyC2019. I have my early scan this Friday. Mixed emotions, I just hope everything is okay, for us both 🙂 x

Babykent2019 · 16/12/2019 06:18

Thanks guys , reassuring that's it's not just me. I can see my boobs getting bigger (well my nipples anyway) they just don't hurt like last time. Will probably come a bit later like you said.

Going to call the dr today to get it confirmed, last time o had to do this then they called me for an apt the same week with the gp so will see if that's still the same x

Frazzlerock · 16/12/2019 06:26

Yay! I'm so pleased I'm not the only one left 😂

Good luck for the scans. I've also got mine on Friday @22Ash22

I'm going into the office for the last time today until NY. My line manager just text me to say I should WFH all this week if I want to, which is great, but I stupidly left all my Xmas cards on my desk last Weds (the day of the bleed). I'd planned to send them on Thurs but obvs didn't go in. Then didn't go in on Friday either as I was still too scared to move. So I have to go in today just for the poxy xmas cards! 🙈 I think I'll just stay a few hours then bugger off home.

Have a great day all

Tink12345 · 16/12/2019 06:41

Also still here!

@Frazzlerock You seem to work with some understand people!

I am self employed with my own dog walking business. No idea what I am doing about my clients yet Confused

Frazzlerock · 16/12/2019 06:51

Whoop @Tink12345 !
Yes I'm really fortunate that my job is very flexible as it's internet based so, in theory, can work from anywhere but I try and get into the office as much as poss. It's just a bit of a trek as I live in Kent and the office is in London. My line manager is awesome. He's been there throughout our ordeal the past 4 years and he's also lost a baby himself.
