@SnookyPook, @Westy22
@Paws4thought, @Supertrooper101 @xxcxdonxx , @Jadeypie @HopeAndStrength @DmcinT @Hankthehonk

I'm just going to tag you guys here just in case you want to check in every now and then. I'm
aware that so many of us are at different stages of our journeys now 🥹. I hope everybody is doing well wherever you may be on yours xx

Oh @Westy22 that sounds awful, and so painful! I wonder why the first GP was so reluctant around it being CMPA. Glad you were able to fight it though and he’s doing better.

@Paws4thought that’s really lovely news! Sounds like you have a very active little person 😍 Another great milestone met.

I’ve not heard anything back from my blood tests, I use badger notes app (not sure if that’s used everywhere) but they aren’t published on that either. I’ve got a midwife appointment next week so I’ll ask then.

That will be lovely to tell your wee boy @Jadeypie , I’m sure he’ll be so excited. I totally get your feeling of doubts creeping in, it’s such a strange time when you don’t have a proper bump or anything yet. Let us know how you get on.

All is good with me, I’m 15 weeks today. I’m trying to resist the urge to book another private scan but not sure how successful that will be. I wouldn’t say I have a definite bump as yet but there is definitely something there but not enough to make me feel confident all is well.

Ahh im so made up your all doing well, fingers crossed everything continues 🙏 whats everyone's due dates? Are they all December babies? X

@xxcxdonxx aww i feel like your flying with weeks too! Have u felt any flutters yet?

@Westy22 im due either 2nd of January or the 5th not sure which one till my dating scan xx

Thanks @Westy22 🥰

I’m officially due Dec 4th but since I’ve had two sections before I’ll likely need another which will be a week or so before.

My kids were talking about Christmas the other day and it’s mad to think there will be another one by then!

I’ve definitely felt something @Jadeypie , a bit like bubbles popping maybe, not loads but maybe a handful of times x

Scan went perfect baby was chilling so relieved! Told james and hes absoulty delighted xxx

Aww @Jadeypie that’s so nice to hear! I bet he is so excited. Did they give you an estimated due date?

Yeh 5th of January 🥰

So my estimate was between 10+4 and 11 And baby was 10+4 so was happy. Little heart beating away.

James keeps saying our baby thins our baby that its so cute xx

That was my wee boys due date too 🙂

Aww bless, he’s being the best big bro already 🥰

Morning!

So I caved and went for another scan last night. All looked well and I got a wee listen in to baby’s heartbeat. She kept the scan away from the ‘business end’ and told me to close my eyes when doing some checks 😆

We’ve never found out the sex before but I am tempted this time round.

@Jadeypie that's fab news, when is your dating scan? 😊
@xxcxdonxx glad everything is going well, I can't wait to know the sex of mine 🙈 have you stopped the progesterone now? I spoke to consultant today as nervous about it and she's recommended staying on 200mg once a day til 34 weeks cause of my early spotting but that seems like a big drop too 🙈
@Westy22 I'm due 21st December :)

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Oh that’s exciting @Paws4thought , a little festive baby 🥰

Yes, I came off it at 12 weeks. I was nervous too but it’s all worked out to be ok. I found it hard not knowing the cause of my previous losses and so not knowing what I should keep doing etc.

@xxcxdonxx aww i totally get the nerves! If getting more scans help then get those scams. 🥰 we didn't find out with our first but i told my partner hes got no say on this one i need to know haha xx

@Paws4thought 2nd July 13+2 crnt wait to see again haha. Xx

We are on our annual Wales trip, made up the weather's been lovely! Abit too hot tho. I feel like this week I've got a bump or its the extra bread . Either way, im pretending it's all, baby . xx

Ladies i will happily try and guess the gender based on the nub theory 😂 i was right with Ovie. Love a good scan pic

So glad its going well for you all x

@Westy22 when I had my scan the lady said she thought we was having a boy by the nub, we was only 10+4 days and I've read that's ways too early. I will post my pic the next one I have so you can have a guess hahah xx

@xxcxdonxx ah that's good, I've just seen the odd post about people who lost coinciding with stopping pessary and it's made me nervous, think I'll do gradual lowering just for my peace of mind imagine that can't do any harm 🙈 have you got a date for your 20 week scan?
@Jadeypie ah not long now then, glad you got good weather for your holiday! :) oh yeah, make the most of showing off the bump whether it's bread or baby 🤣
@Westy22 not sure you'll be able to tell on mine, baby was not cooperative, think the best photo they're upside down! 🤣

Loving all the updates 🙂
@Paws4thought i reduced myne gradually, like you i was too nervous to stop out right.. it was either reduced from 12wks, or 16, i cant remember which. I was always in triage though for one reason or another, looking back more aniexty then anything else. But they didnt mind. If your ever worried about anything at all just ring them and they should see you. After so many weeks they can strap you up and monitor. Up until then they can listen in with a dopler. Just kept me abit sane i think

@Supertrooper101 lovely to hear from you hoping all is well your end xxx

@Supertrooper101 can you remember how you reduced? Hope you and family are doing well!

@Paws4thought i was on 200mg x 2 so just did the night time one instead for a week and then every other day for a week..... i think... i know i weaned off slowly and just monitored how i felt but i had private scans too so had one when i had nearly weaned off.
@Jadeypie shes 9mths. Been sitting and standing for ages, but just will not tolerate tummy time so no rolling at all 🤦‍♀️... seems all my kids are late with there teeth lol shes been 'teething' for months but no teeth bless her. My eldest had to have all her baby ones removed at 15 and my boy still has loads of baby ones left at 11 so clearly my genetics!

How far is everyone now 🙂 all winter babies too

@Supertrooper101 haha james was like that don't think he ever rolled either, does plenty of it now tho ha!! Sound like none of use like to give up teeth haha. Im sure once one pops the rest will follow.

Im 12½ weeks now finally got my dating scan next tuesday. Already like a house, morning sickness has ramped up when I thought it was leaving and im a spotty mess but other than that all good 🤣🤣 xxx

@Jadeypie defo predict a girl !!! Lol

Still amazes me how it was 3 of us first and now you three 😃 did any of you guys end up doing anything different or was it a case of time and not thinking about it anymore?

I thought this @Supertrooper101 its like 3 at a time! So glad its happening tho! X

Ovies 7 months and has rolled a handful of times lol mainly at night. We do have two bottom teeth now tho, so cute. No interest in crawling feel like he just wants to try and stand 🙈

How are you @SnookyPook @Sez281 ?

Any thoughts on another baby 😂 i have fleeting moments where I think maybe I want another, but then I think am I mental to wish the stress and anxiety on myself all over again?

@Supertrooper101 well I had that hycosy, week later we got pregnant, so I think that might of had a big play in it plus the health kick ive been on helped the hormones regulate.

It's great that if people come along to see this thread we all ended up with a positive stories in the end 🥰

@Westy22 i think you've lost the plot ahhahaha no seriously some prefer close age gaps and it works great! Im made up mines happened the way it has i feel like 5 years is my perfect age gap xx

Hey @Supertrooper101 nice to see your name pop up! It doesn’t feel that long ago you were all pregnant and now the babies are coming along so well. 9 months is a lovely stage. I feel so far removed from the baby stage, you mentioning tummy time brought it all back 🤣
I’m 17 weeks now, so it feels like this might actually be happening now lol. I wouldn’t say that I did anything differently this time round, for me I think it was just time. It took me almost a year to get pregnant since my last MC and I wouldn’t say we timed it perfectly every month but I’m sure we were in with a shot. I do wonder if my body just needed a break but will never know. Makes me wonder if I’d just taken a few months out after each MC if it might have happened sooner but that’s never the advice given so who knows.

It’s mad how it’s worked out really, with two sets of 3 babies coming along around the same time 🥰 This chats been good to us!

Oh really @Westy22 you are brave! A few of my friends have small age gaps of 16ish months, none on purpose right enough but it’s lovely now. There’s definitely pros and cons to each. It’s so true that when it comes to babies, your body makes you forget all the pain etc. otherwise we’d never have more than one. Sounds like Ovie is coming along really well too 🙂

@Paws4thought and @Jadeypie have either of you made it over to a pregnancy board? I’ve not, might just stick it out over here!
