Pink although both my MCs were missed and therefore discovered at scans I didn't do that much mentalling before the 20 week scan. Only because I had mentalled furiously at 8, 10 & 14 weeks NHS scans - and sneaked in 2 private scans at 12 and 18 weeks! The 18 week private scan was our proper anomoly one as the consultant spent about 40 mins checking, I had to get it done in order to relax over Christmas. Honestly, once you get this one uncer your belt you'll notice a huge change, I did at least. And yes, prune juice is very, very wrong!
Orange I remember saying to DH that we wouldn't need to buy much for this baby as we can re-use the moses, cot, pram etc. Then realised that while DH is away to work with the car I will be unable to get DD to nursery and will be stuck here all the time. So the only big thing we need to buy for this baby is a car! Also, we bought new car when DD was about 3 months old because we only had a wee polo and after the pram went in the boot there was no room for anything else so sometimes you are better just biting the bullet and getting on with it.
Good to hear from you Penguins, glad the wee one is doing well and that the section recovery is treating you kindly. Dachs it does feel a lot like wind at the start, even second time round I wasn't sure at first if it was the baby. Soon there will be no mistaking it and the pups will be kicking bits out of you!
Nicks sounds like you're having a fab time. You have reminded me, again, that I really need to get some bump pics taken before the wee man arrives!
Welcome AMIW, sorry to hear about your losses - hope this thread helps you. Catttle I've found MN a lifeline most of the time, but had to stay away duing the first trimesters of subsequent pregnancies after MC because there is always bad stuff happening to someone else and it can freak you out. Again, hope you also find some comfort in this thread.
Waves to Sam/ Spring and Lia!
I had a nice day out with DD and an old friend of mine and her 18 month old DS yesterday - parks, cold drinks and ice creams etc. A fair amount of walking about though and I was totally exhausted last night and today. My friend must feel worse though because yesterday was her due date! I've also got a lovely chest infection out of the blue so am back to coughing and hacking constantly. Sleep is ever more elusive inbetween the peeing, hip pain and now wheezing and hacking. Slept for 10 hours last night and still buggered today. DH is loving it though, I can't stay up past 10ish so he stays up all night on the PS3!
