@LuckyMoonstone @TheBirdintheCave I kept telling myself I wouldn't cry and I didn't feel like crying but swear to god when she asked about the first one I broke. But yea was good, will be offered more specialist support xx

TheBirdintheCave · 08/01/2024 22:06

@MrsJGrealish I'm glad you're going to be getting some more help ❤️

curliegirlie · 08/01/2024 23:15

@MrsJGrealish I'm so glad you felt it helpful, bottling stuff up can just be the worst (says she who excels at bottling up).

MrsJGrealish · 08/01/2024 23:49

@curliegirlie ❤️

@bringmearainbow I'm ok :) 24+2 today so still trucking on. Got a slew of appointments in the post yesterday which are very confusing so will have to ask the midwife about them next week x_x

How be thee? :)

LuckyMoonstone · 24/01/2024 14:36

@TheBirdintheCave over half way! Amazing 😁

Baby girl had her last lot of jabs yesterday so she is verrrry grumpy today 😆 but other than that she is a dream and I am loving life with her 🩷

bringmearainbow · 24/01/2024 14:48

@TheBirdintheCave whoop that's awesome 🥳 i feel like time has flown by you're so close to 3rd tri! I've got to spend the whole day near enough at the hospital in April for 3 appointments 🙄 don't they say on the letters? I'm all good 16+4 been listening to the HB on the Doppler I still have days of feeling so sick I was hoping it would have gone by now 🥴 we had a scan Friday but bubs was upside down and sleeping 😂 I still think boy but we have decided on a surprise

@LuckyMoonstone ahh that's amazing I'm glad to hear you're having a fab time with little lady ❤️ I can't wait for baby snuggles 🥰

@LuckyMoonstone Aww, so glad she's doing well! I can't believe how fast it's gone. I still remember you getting your positive!

@bringmearainbow I'm so sorry you're still sick :( I hope it disappears really soon! Irritatingly the letters all say the same thing 'antenatal appointment'. Four I've worked out are scans but god knows about the others. I think one is maybe a glucose test? But again, no further info given 😂

I'm glad you're going for surprise too! I wonder what we'll both end up with 😬 Pretty convinced mine is a boy as well.

LuckyMoonstone · 24/01/2024 14:53

@bringmearainbow so happy for you that everything is going well 😊 is it bad that I want another one already 🙈

LuckyMoonstone · 24/01/2024 14:54

@TheBirdintheCave yeah this time a year ago I was still having scans to check i was actually pregnant because of the bleeding!😅 crazy that all that has lead to this little cherub

MrsJGrealish · 24/01/2024 15:09

@LuckyMoonstone hahaha omg that would defo mean I've been trying too long 🤣 I've started to process closure, stopped the vitamin subscriptions and am seeing a counsellor once a week to help me work through my emotions and loss. I mean I haven't stopped yet, it won't be long though and I think I'll be glad of her once I do. So happy little lady is thriving and you're enjoying motherhood 🩷

@bringmearainbow
@TheBirdintheCave glad you're both keeping well..I'm seeing a boy and a girl but you can decide between yourselves 😂😂

bringmearainbow · 24/01/2024 16:05

@TheBirdintheCave I'm probably wrong because I never guess any baby right so @MrsJGrealish you could be right a boy and girl. I have to have the glucose test at 28 weeks my bmi was 0.5 over the threshold and that is my only marker 🤦🏼‍♀️

@LuckyMoonstone thanks lovely. lol no def not bad. I'm sad this will be my last I always wanted 3 but I just don't think I can go through everything again

@MrsJGrealish im glad you're getting someone to help with everything lovely i def think a professional to talk to helps they don't impart any opinions on you

MrsJGrealish · 24/01/2024 16:18

@bringmearainbow totally hedging my bets..1 boy, 1 girl, 0 puppies 🤣

Yes I know myself well enough to predict a shitshow when we (I) decide to stop. Got the health professionals on standby 🙈 xxx

Gorgeous scan pic !! 😍

LuckyMoonstone · 24/01/2024 16:40

@MrsJGrealish so glad to hear you’re ok and getting support. Obviously you’re still going through a lot so please come to us if you need to talk 🩷

LuckyMoonstone · 24/01/2024 16:41

@bringmearainbow urgg the glucose test! Hope you don’t get GD, it’s super annoying 🤣

FfoxRedN · 24/01/2024 16:43

Hi all,
Sorry I've been MIA.
@LuckyMoonstone so glad you're doing well and can sympathise with the jabs, the little one had his 8 week ones last week and it was horrible seeing his little face 😢.

@TheBirdintheCave wow how that time has flown!!!! So exciting though that you're over halfway through and soon your little one will be here 🥰

@bringmearainbow amazing news!!! I would say boy based on your scan pic 😍. I love being a boy mama, so glad everything is going well and you're also able to get the HB to listen too, it really is amazing, I totally miss being pregnant!

@MrsJGrealish you will know when the time is right lovely, i'm so hoping you get lucky before then though. Sounds like you're taking all the right steps with some support emotionally though too, I hope you're ok 😘 xxx

MrsJGrealish · 24/01/2024 19:25

@LuckyMoonstone ❤️ that means a lot, thank you so much ☺️ xxx

@FfoxRedN dont apologise for being MIA. Boys are class! I'm so happy for you xxx

bringmearainbow · 24/01/2024 19:56

@MrsJGrealish 0 puppies 🤣🤣 I secretly want a puppy too but not until my old boy has gone I don't think he will appreciate a puppy around you can already see him rolling his eyes at DS. He isn't doing bad 16 this year he's deaf and practically blind but still very spritely when he wants to be 😂

@LuckyMoonstone eurgh I hope I don't too might try and curb my sugar intake between now and then although I have to say I don't have a major sweet tooth atm so that helps I think anyway not really sure how it all works 🤦🏼‍♀️

@FfoxRedN ahhhh hey lovely lady ❤️ I def think the 12 week scan looked more boy nub but I'm def no expert on it 😂 also at the scan on Friday he straight away asked if we want to know and when we said no he immediately moved the scan to a different spot so the image changed and I think they only do that very quickly when there's an obvious protruding object to see😂 I'm really 50/50 I'd love to have a girl to experience having one and all the cute girl stuff but at the same time I have tonnes and tonnes of boy stuff and I really think it would be lovely for DS to have a brother and I have loved being a boy mum 🙊

MrsJGrealish · 24/01/2024 20:10

@bringmearainbow you know for a second there I'm like who on earth is she talking about? An older child?! Thinking to myself that's a bit harsh letting him fend for himself deaf and blind 😂😂 obviously another dog..duh 🤦‍♀️

I'm always confused about the nub coz how do you know that's not part of a leg 🤔😘

bringmearainbow · 24/01/2024 20:14

@MrsJGrealish hahaha yes sorry talking about dogs now 🤣 lol some pictures I'm like is there even one there 😂 tbf I thought this was one of the clearest scan pics I've had I looked back on DS and there was no nub in sight it was a terrible picture

OP posts:
curliegirlie · 25/01/2024 10:16

Loving the scan pics @bringmearainbow!

I'm currently 3dpo. Like @MrsJGrealish I'm having trouble properly throwing in the towel, but I'm not doing this for much longer...

Indianna2006 · 25/01/2024 13:42

Hey everyone!!! ❤️❤️

@MrsJGrealish @curliegirlie Hope you are both doing okay. Ugh the slog is hard. But you’re right that right time will come and hope you both manage to find peace with it if it comes to that.

@LuckyMoonstone @FfoxRedN omg as if the babies are old enough for their jabs!! So glad you are both enjoy motherhood. 🥰🥰 would love to see some little updates of the pics of babies on the group if ppl wanted to 😚😚 see their wee little faces.

@TheBirdintheCave 😱 nearly third trimester. Wow. It will fly from here on in. Bet you can’t wait to get that little sibling here. Will be lovely.

@bringmearainbow amazing!! That scan pic is so clear!! You know my scan pic was super clear too and I could already see on the scan as the nub was sooo obvious. And it was super obvious on my photo. A during my scan at 13 weeks I thought that’s a girl nub. It’s a girl. An I was right. I just knew it.
If what I can see is yours is a nub. Which I think it is… that a girl. I’m certain of it 💗 time shall tell. How exciting!!

My little girl is doing well. She’s 9 months now and crawling about all over the show. Pulling herself up on the sofas. She’s a right little trouble maker but such a happy little thing. Already starting to think about her 1st birthday. Say WHAT!! 💗😍

MrsJGrealish · 25/01/2024 15:19

Really lovely to hear updates ❤️ and from yourself @Indianna2006 nearly a year omg!!

@curliegirlie ugh just ugh with it all. Think I'll O this weekend but really can't be bothered. Said to DH last night he's like yea great then fell asleep!! This time last year I would have woken him up, last night I went to sleep as well 😂😂 I think that just sums it up for us. All my kids are back at home too so my bedroom is like Piccadilly Circus with the only shower being in my en-suite 🙄

TheBirdintheCave · 25/01/2024 16:57

@MrsJGrealish Glad to hear you're doing as ok as possible ❤️ I'm really glad you're getting the help you deserve.

@Indianna2006 Good to hear from you too! Feels like the weeks are dragging for me to be honest 😂 Christmas makes everything go so fast and January is just forever!

My 12 week scan photos never have nubs to ponder over 😂

I panicked a bit when the lady did the 20 week scan as she didn't ask us whether we wanted to know or not so I had to jump in and warn her otherwise when she got to the umbilical cord and tops of the legs. All she said was 'Oh, look away in a minute then' 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️
