i have children but seem to have forgotten the symptoms, i think more because of the 3 recent miscarriages.
So i am around 8 weeks i feel extremely tired, can be light headed and always hungry. I was sick at 7 weeks everyday, still feel a little sick now. My pelvis has started to weaken and sometimes clicks in the night, my boobs are sore
When i had my last 2 miscarriages i was really tired when i went for an early scan they said no heart beat and messauring weeks under what i should have been. So now im really worried. My 1st miscarriage was early at 6 weeks 2nd at 10 weeks (mesaured at 8 weeks) and 3rd at 9 weeks (mesaured 8 weeks). I think because im at 8 weeks im worrying more.

Snap so do we, telephone appointment. X

Your lucky, we have to go to the hospital for ours. When I went for my scan the other day I was there for 3 hours. I was hoping it would be an in and out kind of thing ha.

Im a little nervous didnt sleep well at all last night. With my second miscarriage we did the booking stage but lost baby later. I suppose these things will haunt us, that feeling of worry and excitement all in one.

I know what you mean, this is my third booking appointment and no baby yet. It's a milestone yet past experience has taught me not to count my chickens so it just feels sad.

It is annoying that you have to go in and take so long but it's a good sign that your hospital isn't reducing maternity services. Was your partner allowed to come? Can he come to the 12 week scan? Mine can't which is a real shame but I've booked a private 11 week scan that he can come to on Friday because I just can't deal with the wait until Oct 21st 12w scan.

Guest1233 · 03/10/2020 17:14

I was there for 3 hours. It's a high risk pregnancy because of my miscarriages, weight 🙈 and previous pregnancies. I have to have injections they arent too bad.
My partner was allowed in the booking room but not in the back where they took my blood it was with the scanning rooms too.

He isnt allowed in for the scan but can wait in the waiting room. We have our 12 week scan on the 9th the midwife bumped us up the list abit because i was worring so much. Otherwise it would have been more towards 14 weeks.

@Starlight39 can i ask did your pregnancy symptoms change as you was heading into the 2nd trimester? I feel different but read somewhere that symptoms can ease. But didn't think it would be my boobs, thought it may be the sickness.

OP posts:
Starlight39 · 04/10/2020 10:18

@Guest1233 yes my symptoms changed at around 12 or so weeks. Morning sickness and sore boobs eased off till I didn’t really have either. I can’t remember the exact week and I imagine that’s different for everyone but I think it’s really normal, try not to worry (I know that is totally impossible!). Lots of luck and positive vibes for your scan on 9th Flowers.

Guest1233 · 04/10/2020 10:46

@Starlight39 thank you. I think maybe anxiety has taken over abit.

Doughnut100 · 06/10/2020 17:18

@Guest1233 glad the midwife bumped your scan up for you. I have a scan that date too, a private one I will be 10w6d. How far will you be?

My symptoms have also eased over the last couple of days. I'm worried because I'm still only 10 weeks and I've been having period type pains which I know can just be the uterus stretching. Very glad I have the scan on Friday, hoping it will still all be fine and put my mind at ease. Hope yours goes well too.

Guest1233 · 07/10/2020 19:38

@Doughnut100 aww lovely it's exciting but so worrying at the same time. I will be 12w1d on Friday.

Yes I've kept myself busy these past two days, to stop my mind going onto over drive. On Monday i had a melt down. Later on found out my mother inlaw was rushed to hospital. So just been focusing on her.

Fingers crossed for us both on Friday.

OP posts:
Doughnut100 · 09/10/2020 15:48

@Guest1233 hope your mother in law is ok.

How was your scan?

Guest1233 · 09/10/2020 16:06

@Doughnut100 thank you she has had an op so hopefully we will know more soon. Just wish we could see her.

It went well they was being very cheeky though. Iv not stopped crying all day. Just told my other children they seem abit shocked (im too old now apparently).

I hope yours went well? Xx

OP posts:
Doughnut100 · 09/10/2020 16:24

@Guest1233 who was being cheeky? The sonographer or your kids? Are you crying because it's overwhelming or because people are misbehaving? Sorry 20 questions!!! It must be hard not being able to see your MIL. Hope you are ok and are able to take some reassurance from the scan.

Mine went well thank you, this one was at window to the womb. 11 weeks today. Baby was flipping around all over the place. They made me shake to wake the baby up and it's incredible how my movement woke the baby up. Really uplifting and encouraging. I was up all night throwing up and it seems worth it now! It's funny, I've had so much bad news in the past that I have come to expect the worst. But these two good-news scans have really made me feel able to imagine it might all be ok. X

Guest1233 · 09/10/2020 18:55

Sorry the babies where. Hiding and waving their arms about. Yes crying just because they still had beating hearts.
Her op went well. We had to tell her over the phone though because we can see her but she's over the moon with the news.

Im so glad yours went good too. Its so reassuring isn't it. Just beautiful. I hope you feel better about everything and it helps keep your spirits up. Xx

Doughnut100 · 10/10/2020 13:44

@Guest1233 oh good! Sorry my brain is mush I got the wrong end of the stick there. Ok so good tears. I'm so happy for you. Yes the happiness at those heartbeats must be amazing. I am super happy. And super sick. Glad her op went ok x

Guest1233 · 19/10/2020 19:57

Hello how is everyone doing?

Doughnut100 · 20/10/2020 12:40

Hey hope you are well. 12 weeks 3 days and have my dating scan on Thursday. I'm finding the relief after each scan only lasts about a week so I'm nervous but hopeful. Nervous about the NT test too, I just have it stuck in my head that something will go wrong. The sickness has decreased over the last few days but mornings are still very difficult. I have even managed to start cleaning the flat again! We were living like students it was awful but I could barely load the dishwasher each day. Now I'm slowly deep cleaning everything.

How are things with you? Have you had any appointments since your dating scan? I guess probably not - it feels like ages ago but was less than two weeks. X

Guest1233 · 23/10/2020 08:44

@Doughnut100 Hello how did your dating scan go? Im sure your NT tests will be fine. Oh gosh your morning sickness sounds like it must have been quite bad. Hope your mornings start to feel better soon.

Im doing ok no appointments, however i do have a private scan on Saturday for reassurance. Just opened in our town so i probably be keeping them in business haha. I have felt do drained with worrying im getting bigger but dont feel much from them now, only when they are moving from what feels like swapping sides it makes me dizzy. My partner thinks im crazy but going along with it anyway haha, plus he gets to be at the scan which will be nice.

Im booked in with the community midwife at 18 weeks but they dont listen to the heart beat anymore. Then my next scan at 20 weeks.

Doughnut100 · 26/10/2020 18:24

@Guest1233 thank you my dating scan was fine. If I haven't had a phone call by the end of tomorrow it should mean I am low risk from the combined test. 🤞🤞my due date is April 30th, when is yours?

How was your scan on Saturday? Scans are slightly addictive! I can't wait for the 20 week one I'm thinking of getting a private 16 week one to find out the sex of the baby. Can you feel your twins moving already?! Omg how exciting! I still have no real bump just some extra fat from all the rubbish I've been eating. And I have an anterior placenta so probably won't feel any movement for ages but I can't wait! It is so amazing to see our little baby wriggling around on the ultrasound while I can't feel a thing.

I shouldn't have written that I feel better, I jinxed it. Enormous relapse. 😂

Guest1233 · 26/10/2020 19:59

@Doughnut100 Good im glad it went well and fingers crossed for your results. Lovely that's my mum's birthday too. They have now given me the 18th April it was first the 22nd. But I won't go to either of them. My other twins where born at 36 weeks. So if i go then they will be born on or near their dad's birthday.

My scan went really well, I was so nervous waiting to go in, but the lady put me at ease straight away and found their heart beats. Twin 1 was extremely shy but Twin 2 put a little show on for us. The pictures were not great through, but i got to see them. She kept us in an extra 15 mins for free too. Yes they are very addictive and was lovely having my partner there too.

Im thinking about finding out too but at 18 weeks, I'm hoping i can last that long haha. Yes i can feel them. I felt them from about 7 weeks (only because i used to sleep on my front) was like having a tiny ball in there, most of been because there is 2.

Aww you might not get one till later on, with my first i didnt show till 6/7 months. Haha you will definitely need an extra bit of chub for when you slow down on your eating.
So beautiful seeing them moving. Im on a page on Facebook called nub theory queens or something like that, they can guess the gender. I put my pictures on and they have guessed one of each. But people have put videos on they look super cute. I'm guessing they are from private scans.

Each day at a time and you will be fine

I’m so sorry for your losses, that must be absolutely harrowing.

Hoping this pregnancy is a healthy and happy one xxx

Doughnut100 · 31/10/2020 13:45

@Guest1233 I got my combined test result today it was low thank god. We have told my partner's family now but I still cringe when they say congratulations, I still feel like let's not count our chickens yet.

Glad your scan went well. That's amazing that you could feel them from 7 weeks. I can't feel a pregnant belly at all, I'm so eager to as it will make it feel real. So you are only about 2 weeks ahead of me in theory!

I have a scan booked on November 15th to find out the sex and check everything is ok in there. Bit worried now that we will be in lockdown - really hoping the scan clinic will still be open, I seem to remember they were in April as I was pregnant in the last lockdown too but I was shielding because it was all so unknown and didn't dare go for a scan.

Guest1233 · 05/11/2020 12:17

@doughnut100 Hello that's brilliant news regarding your test results. Yes i feel the same when people ask how everything is going, i say just taking each day as it comes.
We are booking for next week for q gender scan, we will be 17 weeks though, I'm unsure if that's too early.
Some are still open near us because a well-being scans is preformed at the same time. Hopefully it is the same for where you are too.
I've been alittle down this week so been trying to keep myself busy. I keep worrying thinking i should have more movement and they should be bigger etc. I'm trying to find ways to manage it but its not working that great ha. My family are so excited and really want to be like them, but I'm to curious. I think i will be like this till they are here.
I must say i am looking forward to having my Christmas tree up haha

Doughnut100 · 18/11/2020 19:06

@Guest1233 did you have your gender scan yet? I did the other day, she's a girl! I'm thrilled. We have already named her. All our family knows now, I haven't told many friends though. I started thinking a lot about having a daughter. And now I'm quite scared. I feel like I've been tempting fate by getting confident and I keep unintentionally stumbling across stories of late miscarriages. I am 16w5d. I wish I could fast forward to 24 weeks. I feel like I will be able to relax a bit more then as at 24 weeks a baby can survive even if she's born prematurely. I have my anomaly scan quite early at 18w2d so that's not far off but then there will be a long wait with no scans... how are you doing?

Guest1233 · 18/11/2020 19:32

@doughnut100 that is fabulous news congratulations on your little girl. I understand you. I am the same we are having a boy and a girl, this will be my first boy and my partners first girl. We are super excited but i worry too. We haven't agreed on names yet i feel that will be a struggle ha. Oh yes i would love to be at 24 weeks, fingers crossed when we get there we worry less. At my gender scan i was measuring 17+6. And have my anomaly scan on the 3rd or 4th December. Im doing well, been tired so been resting as much as i can. How about yourself?
