lake I still feel really sick before scans and heartbeat checks but the 16 week appointment was the hardest, because I was feeling movement but not all the time, and I wasn't massively showing, and it was just hard to imagine that there would be a heartbeat and too easy to think there wouldn't be. Weird of the midwife to be funny about it. You've been through a massive trauma and however you choose to react is your business - I would have thought she would understand that. So if you're not coming back until 28 weeks - who does your 20 week scan? Are you under consultant care this time?
April glad your op went well. Hope you're doing ok.
flam sorry about your wine experience. A little bit won't harm the baby but I can understand how upsetting that must have been.
madem yay for being past the magic 12 week mark. Sounds like you handled telling your colleague perfectly.
An antenatal thread is a good idea, I think. There were no pregnancies for ages when I joined this one - just a few - and I did find it hard when I lost my summer pregnancy to follow others' milestones with their continuing pregnancies, and hard before I was 'allowed' to TTC post c-section to hear about other pregnancies. There seems to be a cluster of people due in the autumn, which is great - I couldn't face the antenatal clubs so it's lovely that we can all support each other.
All good here, apart from anxiety. Baby is measuring a week and a half ahead and I am huge already. Just want to get him out now, but I've got another 2.5 months to go. Hard to believe that there will be a baby at the end of all of this. I felt that last time, that I couldn't believe there would be a baby for me to look after, even at 39 weeks, and then of course, there wasn't. Praying this time will be different. Love to all.
