I've noticed a lot of us TTC number 2 and struggling after getting pregnant fairly easily with number 1!
Thought I'd start a thread so we can all support each other 💕💕

Hey! How's everyone getting on?

Much to my shock after my miscarriage last month which was my 4th this year, I'm now 5+1 weeks pregnant!!!
Praying this is the one for me, but time will tell 🤞🤞

Omg congratulations!!! Keeping everything crossed for you! How are you feeling!? 🥰

Thanks for all the love! I'm terrified but trying to remain optimistic, I'm 5+2 today and only have to wait until next Friday for my scan, the waiting Is the worst tho but hopefully the scan brings some positive news after a lot a lot of dark

@Eatsleepbakerepeat Completely understandable lovely, you've been through a lot, especially the past couple of months but I've got everything crossed for a sticky baby for you! You know what they say, after a storm comes a rainbow 💖 Hoping everything goes so smoothly for you 🥰

Hope everyone is doing okay and everything is well for you all 😊

All good here thank you ☺️ 12 weeks on Friday and first NHS scan on Monday! Still waving my way through the all day nausea but hoping that subsides soon 🤞 how are things with you? X

cheeseycrumpets · 18/07/2024 05:54

@mamataylor 12 weeks is such a milestone! So glad you and babe are doing well and fingers crossed the nausea eases off next trimester.

@2BabyOrNot2Baby How are you? Hope you’ve been ok with your back etc! Are you in the second trimester now as well?

@Eatsleepbakerepeat sending you all the good vibes for your scan! 💖

I actually just had a positive test this week!!! After my MMC I’m being cautiously optimistic because I know it’s SUCH early days (only 4 wks + 3) I feel equal parts delighted and terrified!

jellyfish2 · 18/07/2024 06:00

@Eatsleepbakerepeat aw lovely news congratulations! 🩷 I'm 5+1 after my MMC and just so anxious. It's awful.

2BabyOrNot2Baby · 18/07/2024 10:42

Oh my gosh, such beautiful news from everybody!! 😍

@mamataylor can't believe we're still first trimester, it feels like it's been going on forever lol I have my dating scan on Tuesday! 😁 We've actually had a few hiccups over the past few weeks with bleeding & pain but I was checked over last Friday and had an EPU scan this Tuesday, still measuring a week behind, but a day ahead of what they thought also, so just cannot wait until my dating scan to get a better idea of where we are 😆 but thankfully everything is good with baby 😊 I completely feel you on the nausea, it's been so intense this week especially, you have my full sympathy! Hopefully it does go away soon, at least everyone is telling me it will 😫 So glad everything is going well for you!

@cheeseycrumpets Oh thank you so much, it's so sweet you remember that! It's actually mostly been alright surprisingly, just the odd days I'll feel about as flexible as a stick 😆 I'm not far off, will be pretty soon 😊 big fat congratulations!! I'm so happy for you 💖 completely understandable that you feel that way, I hope everything goes as smoothly as it can for you, and that you have all the nice symptoms! Keeping all fingers and toes crossed🤞🏻🍀

@jellyfish2 Congratulations! ✨ So sorry you're also feeling that way, hopefully soon you and @crumpet are able to be put at ease and are able to enjoy it. It's so hard early on anyway as there's almost no way you can feel reassured so I can't imagine how you're feeling. I hope the next week's fly by and your scan dates are here before you know it! Sending all the luck in the world to you both x

@Eatsleepbakerepeat Wishing you lots of luck for tomorrow! We're here if you need us 💖

So amazing to read of your positive test 🥰 congratulations!! Hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months. It’s so different after a loss so I completely sympathise x

mamataylor · 18/07/2024 15:25

Congratulations @jellyfish2! so sorry you’re feeling anxious. I too had a loss in Nov before this baby and I’m now 12 weeks! Really hope it works out this time for you, all the odds are in your favour ❤️

I know! It feels like I’ve been pregnant for ages already 🫠 aw lovely. Hope you can get some more solid dates on Tuesday! Would be lovely to hear how you get on ☺️
bless you. Sorry to hear you’ve had some bleeding and pain. It makes you nothing but anxious doesn’t it but glad all was ok after getting checked over at EPU ❤️ these little babies like to keep us on our toes! X

jellyfish2 · 18/07/2024 16:43

@mamataylor @2BabyOrNot2Baby thank you both. Trying to think positive about this pregnancy 🩷

cheeseycrumpets · 20/07/2024 18:41

I’ve just started spotting. I feel so deflated and can’t believe I’m heading down this road again 💔

jellyfish2 · 20/07/2024 18:47

@cheeseycrumpets oh no I'm sorry. Is it light spotting? Hopefully it's just one of these scares and everything will be ok. I can understand your worry 🩷

cheeseycrumpets · 20/07/2024 21:10

@jellyfish2 Thank you ❤️ It’s very light at the moment (only once when I wiped today) so trying to stay positive but it’s tricky as it’s the way my MMC started.
Sending you all the sticky positivity for your pregnancy and thanks again for reaching out. I’m keeping my fingers and toes crossed and going to ring the EPU tomorrow to see if they have any advice 🤞

jellyfish2 · 20/07/2024 21:20

@cheeseycrumpets I really hope that's it for you. That's good your epu is open at the weekend, hopefully they can provide some reassurance and offer a scan. Keep us updated 🩷

The forever changing weather certainly isn't helping, we've been through pretty much all the seasons, feels as though our babies should be making their appearances soon. Only 6 more months to go 😮‍💨
Aw thank you, they certainly do, it seems I only carry tricky babies 🥲 please do let us know how you get on too! X

Oh I'm so sorry lovely, keeping everything crossed for you that it's nothing and you and baby are completely safe and well 🤞🏻 I had multiple bleeds with my first and now again during this pregnancy and they told me that one of the reasons could just be purely hormonal, its so so scary and it really is an absolute nightmare not knowing. Hopefully EPU will give you some decent advice x

cheeseycrumpets · 21/07/2024 16:43

@2BabyOrNot2Baby and @jellyfish2 thank you both so much for your encouragement and support. I’m trying my best to stay positive today 💪 I haven’t had any more spotting since the small amount yesterday afternoon and I took a test today which had a dark line straight away.
I rang the EPU and they've asked me to come in for a scan on Weds. I’m a bit concerned that this will be too early to see anything definitive as I’ll only be 5+2, so I think I need to be prepared to sit with uncertainty for a while.

jellyfish2 · 21/07/2024 16:58

@cheeseycrumpets that's great news you've not had any other spotting and that epu will see you! I'm sure you'll get good news 🩷

Amazing! Yeah unfortunately there's not really much to see at that point but they'll definitely know what they're doing and what to say. They may ask you back for a follow up just to check everything is progressing as it should. Wishing you lots of luck for Wednesday 💖

2BabyOrNot2Baby · 22/07/2024 18:57

@mamataylor Hope everything went well for you today 💖
