Pregnancy after loss - Autumn babies 2021

[Pancakes7]

Hi All, I have only just got my BFP and it's still faint atm. I had an mmc in May 2018, I then gave birth to my son May 2019. I had another mmc July 2020 and have been ttc ever since. I just got my BFP yesterday, so very early days. I'm not ready to join both groups quite yet. I thought this could be a space for us all going through pregnancy after loss. As we all understand the nerves/anxiety that go with this. I hope it's useful.

A bit of back ground on me. I'm 33, married. I have a 20 month old son. I haven't returned to work yet since maternity. I returned for 2 weeks then was put on furlough. I will be going back part time, doing 3 days.

@PumpkinEverything Thursday morning, luckily first thing, it will come around so quickly I’m sure, the weekend usually flies by then I’ve got bloods on Tuesday too

Haha I’m the worst @Firevie 😂😂 and I said to my husband there ‘oh I can’t be bothered at all, don’t want to go for a walk or make dinner, I’d really just like a subway 👀👀’ and he’s like ‘okay! Let’s get that then’ 😂 so we’re going to go for a walk and then I’ll get my subway 🙈 oh myyyyyy, a Belgian waffle sounds ah mazing! Strawberries are healthy 😉😉

@PumpkinEverything @Firevie Yeah add strawberries then it's healthy right?! 😂 it makes me want a Creams Waffle 😋 Subway sounds good too actually. Especially the cookie! lol.

@MrsF111 There's 2 other ladies with scans Thursday morning on here. That'll be a busy day on here. My scan is Friday morning. 🤞🏻🌈

I've just had a cry, I'm not sure why. Feeling super hormonal! My son bit me, he's teething, he didn't mean it. I screamed as it caught me off guard. He cried and then I cried 🤦🏼‍♀️ not much point to this post, but yeah, a bit emotional tonight.

Haha! Exactly if you add strawberrries then it’s fine. Oh my, I keep hearing subway quite a bit lately. Think that will have to be my next treat. Which subway are you getting @PumpkinEverything?

@MrsF111 I have my scan Thursday morning and so does @Strawberry08 I think and obviously @Pancakes7 on Fri
Xxx

DH cooked Southern fried chicken tonight - served with mash, sweetcorn and chicken gravy. It was lush, but I'm suffering with indigestion now. Worth it though!

@Pancakes7 I'm sorry you've had an emotional evening. I remember those moments with DD when she was little. A good cry always made me feel better afterwards.

@MrsF111 Welcome! I've got my scan on Thursday morning too. It's my second one (I'll be 8+3), but in still really nervous. Until I had my MMC, I never realised how terrifying scans could be.

@Firevie I've been craving waffles too. All the healthy stuff 😂 During one of my 1am wake ups, I even considered ordering a waffle maker.

@Firevie @MrsF111 Ah @Strawberry08 has a scan the following Monday. @marplemead has the scan on Thursday. I couldn't remember. So many next week! 🤞🏻🌈

@Pancakes7 thanks for reminding me :) we really have a full house next week!
@marplemead dinner sounds yumm and waffles from this place near me are so lush. Maybe I’ll treat myself on the weekend xxx

@Pancakes7 I don’t know if this is comforting or not - but I’ve had similar nausea! Started somewhen in my 5th week - and it’s been constant ever since! Haven’t been sick at all, but have to force myself to eat. I haven’t found eating gives me any respite, but I have founds some foods make me feel worse. I have had to steer clear of sweet food, and when I feel really bad I had found a big chunk of cucumber helps! I get hungry every 2 hours though - but can’t eat 😂 I love my food so have never experienced this before! 10+5 today so I think I should be nearing the end of nausea soon? 🤞🏻

@PumpkinEverything @marplemead @smarty4 @Pancakes7 @Firevie @MrsF111 Wow you ladies are killing me...after my dinner of oven chips and fake kebab meat with all the trimmings I just got my OH to get me a snack!!
Thinking about you all with scans next week! I have a midwife appointment on Thursday and they always mess with my chi so will need to stay positive! Xx

18 weeks yesterday and my nausea has made a return... Im going to put it down to tiredness? I'm hungry until I start to eat.. Then appetite vanishes. Made chicken dippers and chips tonight in an attempt to eat something.. I've managed half a dipper and a handful of chips. 🤨
Fancy some strawberries but we don't have any left.. It's been one healthy thing I have been enjoying recently
Great to see so many scans next week.. Hopefully they all go smoothly!
Welcome Mrsf hope things are easier this time. After my 3 mmc I also changed to a different hospital. I had to feel like I was doing something different.
Today is Ds 3rd birthday.. This time 3 years ago he was already scaring the life out of us being worked on by a team of nicu drs.. But now he's happy healthy and thriving and you would never know he'd been a teeny 5lbs nicu baby.
My anxiety has ramped up again a little.. So when we had our scan on Monday the measurements were coming back measuring around 17weeks / 17+1.. I should have been 17+4. Heartbeat etc was all good baby moving about lots and consultant was very happy she said with what she say was able to check a lot like the Chambers of heart, blood flow, early brain development etc said she had no concerns with anything she say but now I'm panicking that th baby was measuring behind. She would have said if she was worried right?
Ds was iugr and placenta stopped working etc. Probably also adding to the worries. Sorry that's a longer message than I intended.

@Bellabubble Thanks, Yeah I've had nausea in all 3 pregnancies including with my son. But it's always happened even with mmc's, so unfortunately it doesn't give me any reassurance.

Sorry I'm feeling a bit down tonight still. I'm so anxious about my scan. I can't bear going through it all again. I really hope all this feeling sick is worth it.

I hope you're going better this evening. I found with my son my nausea went on a bit, to maybe 13/14 weeks. I can't remember exactly.

@Pancakes7 You have got this sweetie!! Think positively!! We all know its easier said than done but try and think calm thoughts! Xx

Thanks @JRH4622 I'm trying to keep thinking positively. At least it's less than a week now. 🤞🏻🌈

Good morning ladies! Happy Saturday! What’s for breakfast? I’ll be having oats with honey and cinnamon. Since my boobs are less tender now unless I touch them I’ve started jumping up and down and omg that hurts!! Lol xxx

@Pancakes7 🌈👊🏼
I got a lovely lie in this morning (I'm still here!) My OH got up with the doggies and left me to sleep!
@Firevie when I drag myself up I fancy a bagel and peanut butter and my decaf coffee which is basically hot milk! 💕

My breakfast was very dull... cornflakes! I told my husband I really fancied an easter egg after it being mentioned on here, he came home from work yesterday with one for me so that will definitely be getting opened later. He also brought flowers each for me and our daughter, I cried 🤣🤣 such an emotional wreck. Hope you all have a lovely Saturday, the sun is shining here so we will be heading out soon the make the most of it X

Breakfast here was a croissant and a malteaser square 😂
@Pancakes7 sorry your feeling so anxious.. Not long to your scan now. Hope you can keep busy over the weekend to make the time pass.

@MrsTD88 it's not taking much for me to cry atm.. TV ad, book, someone's instagram post 🙈

@Firevie I ordered pain au chocolate in our shop but got chocolate chip brioche rolls as a substitute. They are actually yummy so that's good. Felt sick this morning but these helped.

DH got up with our son and has now taken him out for a walk to get Mother's Day things lol. I'm in my pjs eating more brioche rolls and watching The Bold Type on Netflix lol.

Hi everyone ! I was wondering whether I can join your thread ? I was in the nov/dec ttc after miscarriage group as I had surgical management on 1st dec. I was very lucky and got my bfp on 1st jan so felt a bit cheeky to join any groups after that 🙈. I started bleeding at 9 weeks and hubby and I absolutely panicked but luckily scan showed I had a bruise on my womb causing the bleeding 🙏🏻.
I am now 12 weeks 4 days and have my dating scan on Thursday at 12.

I hope everyone is doing well on here ! I notice a lot of food chat but unfortunately I’m waaay off food right now (not like me ! ☺️).

Have a great day everyone 🌈

Thanks @Smurf123 I've not got any plans this weekend but at least DH is home. I've got plans next week then my Mums staying so that should keep me busy.

@SophW194 hi! Another Thursday scan there are lots of us on here with our dating scans on Thursday, it’s going to be a busy day!

@SophW194 Welcome, sorry for your loss. Congratulations on your BFP. Dating scan is exciting. We have 3 girls here having early scans on Thursday. I've got my first early scan on Friday. 🤞🏻🌈

@SophW194 welcome! Yay another scan for Thursday. It is bound to be a great day with so many scans and positive news!
@Pancakes7 yumm sounds absolutely delicious. I’ve been in bed reading so that’s been nice but will get up now and get started on the usual weekend house admin xxx
