Yay @badg3r thats great news!

I’m starving today, seriously cannot stop eating but feel sick at the same time! It’s madness!

Anyone got special plans for Valentine's night? Got a babysitter booked but no strength to leave my bed to start getting ready 😑

Roxy8203 · 14/02/2020 19:07

@Lilice I'm working any my other half is away so nothing although I've had some weird stuff go on at home the past two valentines so it just freaks me out a bit now

Hi everyone, it's 1am and j need a hand hold.
Yesterday morning, my mother in law died. It's been a really stressful week and a very intense 24 hours.
We got called back to the hospital in the middle of the night and I went into shock s bit when we got the call. I was really cold, violently shaking and just having a really physical reaction to it all. I managed to breathe through it all in just under 10 minutes but I was left a bit worried about my baby. I've been really upset but trying to stay calm and keep my heart rate down.
I lost a baby at 10 weeks last year. I'm 10 weeks now but we heard the heartbeat at 8 weeks.
My nausea has been a lot less the last few days. I'm still really adverse to lots of foods and smells are getting to me.
I just got up for a wee and my boobs aren't sore anymore. This happened during the night when I was miscarrying before, I woke up and my boobs didn't hurt anymore.
I've had to leave my partner sleeping in bed.
I'm really upset and trying to breathe through this.
I can't lose another one. I just can't. Not now.
I just need a hand hold. I'm so scared.

anotherypasswordtoremember · 15/02/2020 01:24

I've been getting some cramps too but I was having them just before a scan at 8 weeks and everything was fine. So I don't know if I just can't tell the difference between cramps and that stretching sensation we're meant to have.

LeeCee · 15/02/2020 06:57

@anotherypasswordtoremember I'm so sorry about your mother in law and that you've had such a horrible night. I hope you got some sleep since. ❤️ just try to keep breathing. I find a little mantra in my head can help at times like that. Whatever works for you. Just repeating some comforting words to yourself in your head can be soothing. It's a tough tough time. I lost my mother last year. I hope you have some good support around you. Please come back here and lean on us too xx

ChipsAreLife · 15/02/2020 08:15

@anotherypasswordtoremember I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I have sadly experienced this in both my previous pregnancies, DFIL with my first and my DM with my second, so I know exactly how you feel.

Firstly try not to worry about the stress on the baby, bodies and babies are very resilient in these times but of course if you feel yourself getting panicked or out of control then deep breathing, yoga, a walk. Anything that will help that. Be kind on yourself and don't feel bad for feeling angry this has happened during this time. It's a really hard thing to handle at the best of times let alone when pregnant.

Secondly when DFIL died DH took it very hard, he wasn't really present emotionally which I found hard to understand (until I lost I parent). I would try give him some space and lean on your friends and family to help.

Thirdly, when is your scan? If a while off maybe book a private one to help reassure you, you don't need that eating away at you.

I've had lots of cramps and back ache too. No bleeding though so just have to assume all is well until I find out otherwise.

Sending you a hug and always here for you to talk to x

Oh and just to add symptoms can lessen at this stage as placenta takes over. My sickness is definitely getting better x

@anotherypasswordtoremember
Oh I am so sorry for your loss.. but don't worry about your baby! I am sure he or she will be fine. And it is ok to be sad it won't hurt your baby. Sometimes things happens and you can't help how you feel. I always think this way, if I loose my baby in early stage then it is not meant to be and there was something genetically wrong. It is not my fault and I couldn't have helped it or caused the loss. And I always try to remeber my sister in law who got her divorce when she was pregnant! It was so hard for her, she was shocked, her husband just suddenly decided to leave her and he was gone! She didn't hear from him till he sent her divorce papers. And she was living with me, she was destroyed and cried every day. I honestly thought she was going to loose the baby. But the baby was completely fine and he is now 8 months .. so don't worry sweetheart I am sure your baby is fine.

And by the way, I have no symptoms what so ever, everything have disappeared and I don't even feel pregnant anymore. My boobs aren't sore and I have no bloating. I just feel so not pregnant... and I think a lot of us feel this way right? HmmConfused I saw a heartbeat at 8+3 days so I'm trying to calm down .. can't wait till I can feel the baby kicking Blush

anotherypasswordtoremember · 15/02/2020 11:45

Thanks everyone. I'm sorry to hear about your losses too.
I think I eventually fell asleep for a bit at around 5.
I've been in the hospital a lot over the last week and was really trying to keep it together, whilst still having a bit of a cry. But last night I just had flash backs to the miscarriage when I woke up in the night and my boobs weren't sore and there was fresh blood when I went to the loo.
I feel like shit today which is actually pretty reassuring for me. Tits are a bit more sore too. They're like weird lumpy barometers!

We told my mother in law about the baby before she had the fall, I'm so glad we did.
F**k not telling people until 12 weeks. If we stuck to that she'd never have known.

Sorry for being such a downer. Got the next scan in two weeks so just going to have to drag myself through to that.

ShiningStarz · 15/02/2020 12:23

@anotherypasswordtorenember I am so very sorry to hear about your mother in law. I’m so glad though she knew about your little one.

Please try not to worry.
I am 9w 5d today and a few days ago my symptoms felt like they disappeared! One minute I was googling maternity trousers for work and wrap around dresses! Felt like I could have been 6 months! Huge!!

Now I’m Completely deflated! Boobs less sore. As @ChipsAreLife iv read this is when the placenta takes over and must be reason for some of the symptoms disappearing.

What’s meant to be will be ❤️ Hope you are ok, hugs and love x

emma278 · 15/02/2020 12:47

@anotherypasswordtoremember i am so sorry to hear of your loss.

My mum had a late miscarriage with her first baby then fell pregnant again several months later. Just as she found out her father died suddenly of a heart attack and she was convinced the stress would cause her to lose the baby. However that baby is now my 36 year old 6ft2 big bro. Mum always said it must just be what is meant to be will be.

Take care of yourself and i will be thinking of you all.

Xx

Lilice · 15/02/2020 14:20

@anotherypasswordtoremember I'm so sorry for your loss and what you're going through at the moment. I wish you all the strength to get through it. I hope you manage to rest and take care of yourself xx

ShiningStarz · 16/02/2020 10:30

Morning everyone!!
How are you all feeling?

It’s been Almost 2 weeks since my last scan and my next one isn’t for another 2 weeks!! The waiting is so hard.

Boob soreness comes and goes. Bloating has reduced but depending on what I eat it doesn’t come back by late afternoon. Back in my jeans tho. I am burping more than usual, oh and maybe more windy!

Expected to be feeling so much worse! Really hoping the wee one is happily at 10 weeks and continues to grow. Excited and nervous about the 12 week scan x

Roxy8203 · 16/02/2020 11:05

@ShiningStarz morning. I'm counting down the days until my 12 week scan, only 8 to go. I'm excited and scared. Hopefully after that I might sleep better, other than waking up every night and sore boobs I'm still fine, haven't even had the tiredness ladies talk about.
Glad your doing well and keep busy, it make the weeks go quicker

pangolin84 · 16/02/2020 11:24

Just got back from my early scan and the little blob is looking good! Nice strong heartbeat and measuring 7+6, which is exactly the same as my calculated dates. Feeling so relieved! DH keeps referring to it as a worm, which I’m not sure I approve of.

ShiningStarz · 16/02/2020 12:53

Awww @Roxy8203 how exciting! Only 8 days to go!! My symptoms sound like yours, pretty much hardly there 🙈
Thankfully work is busy so it’s helping the weeks to go in quick. Just can’t wait for it to be next weekend already 🤣

ShiningStarz · 16/02/2020 12:54

@pangolin84 that’s great, congrats! I’m sure your so relieved!! Excited too.
Hehe yeah worm is an interesting choice!!
Ours is still a Little peanut 🥜

Lilice · 16/02/2020 13:03

@pangolin84 how lovely, congrats!
I also had a private scan this morning, I caved in and booked it last minute. Was amazing to see the little heart beating, I'm so relieved all is fine.

pangolin84 · 16/02/2020 13:42

@lilice @shiningstarz Thank you! A very surreal experience. She was having a good poke around and checking my ovaries out and everything! Apparently having these scans gets addictive so I’m going to try to avoid that and hold out until the NHS dating scan. Just so glad to see that heartbeat x

ChipsAreLife · 16/02/2020 13:55

Ah congrats on the scans! I would def get addicted so I'm holding out till dating scan. Only 19 days to go 😰 doesn't help I had to push it back 9 days for DH to come.

So DSis has girls last night and I got ten hours sleep (with two wee breaks 🤣🤣) I feel back to normal today! Only slight sickness, and I've got energy! So maybe those without symptoms are just getting good rest.

@anotherpassword how are you doing? Hear if you need to talk x

I've got a crazy week with work and kids and DH going away. At least time will go fast and it will be another day closer to seeing my little love.

Hope everyone is having lovely Sundays. X

Hi girls
So lovely to hear that many of us have been on a ultrasounds :D ... it is becoming so real!

I don't know what I am feeling but since Friday I have had mild cramps and really bloated.. like so bloated.
My mood is going up and down... I stood good 3 minutes yelling at my husband for exactly no reason. I am so hungry but I don't feel like eating right now... I think my nausea is kicking in now since I didn't have it early.. :(

Maybebaby2 · 16/02/2020 20:31

Hi all just checking in hope everyone is doing well?
I've not been on for ages just feeling rubbish and literally have no energy at all. I had my booking in appointment last week and the midwife said it was normal, but I'm not sure I should be feeling this wiped out. All I want to do is sleep and I could cry because I feel so tired all the time. I'm 9+3 and really hoping I feel better soon because it's getting me down 😞

Lazydaisydaydream · 16/02/2020 20:51

@Lilice I think my due date will be 2nd September so October might be a bit of a stretch Grin.... But I'm definitely tempted to add a few weeks on!! Will see if I can persuade my OH haha.

T-shirt was from amazon, they have some really awesome designs! It felt a bit like tempting fate to order it before the scan after my precious losses but really trying to be more positive this time. Flowers

Samk79 · 16/02/2020 22:28

@Maybebaby2 sorry to hear you are feeling rubbish. I'm also struggling, constantly so tired and have nausea, stomach cramps and constant indigestion. The joys!
Hope everyone else is doing okay x
