Pregnant after a miscarriage, as the bumps get bigger we get braver, 1st,2nd or 3rd trimester, reasurance and hand holding aplenty!

[StateofConfusion]

Before the first thread fills and locks a 2nd thread for us getting braver!

Hiya, I am now feeling so much more relieved after the scan. First question I asked is "is there a heartbeat" then she went through showing us everything and it was all looking good, v well behaved baby too :) just a few hiccups :). Will definitely hold off buying anything until dew date and even then I'll just get a few baby grows for the hospital and order the rest online when I get back, cos its our third we have all the necessary main things such as car seat, baby bed, baby bath etc so I can chill knowing I only need to get a few bits of clothing and some new born nappies.

I wouldn't dare try a bath as I'm also little and our bath is longer and wider than a normal one so I have to wedge myself so as not to float around, luckily we have a shower and I use a stool to get in and out , I'm not v far gone yet either but have started some SPD and sciatica :(

Shirley I was the same at our 12 week scan! I told her what had happened last time and said - "just tell me, is there a baby and is it alive?" When she said "Yup" it was one of the happiest moments of my life. DH and I just sobbed.

I'm so glad you're feeling more relaxed, it's lovely to be able to enjoy the pregnancy.

Ooh bonzo I have a pain every evening top left of bump! I guess it must just be the way I stand/sit/walk!

Last night baby was squishing my stomach so much I thought I was going to be sick! Am wondering if he's going to be a giant! Gaviscon is my staple diet at the mo!

I have a pain this evening in the form of a 30wk baby pushing its what I think is a foot into my hip bone, its really making me wince!

Hi I've just found this thread. Just found out in pg after 3 mc.
Thinking of taking aspirin and extra strength folic acid this time but got to see the gp this week.

LittleMiss - all the best. After 3 mc will you be getting an early scan? I have everything crossed for a h&h 9 months.

Had my flu jag this morning, feeling pretty rough, but it's got to be better than getting the flu!

Thank you. Fingers crossed for early scan. We weren't really ttc as have appt at rmc in nov! So not sure what's going to happen

Congrats little you can request an early scan if you want one in most areas. Xx

I had my jab this morning too mrs bit sore now but didn't feel it at the time!

I'm 30 weeks today! I can't quite believe it!

Should all pregnant ladies get a flu jab? Is it just in a certain trimester?

My midwife said they're advising everyone to get the jabs, whooping cough is between 28-38wks, flu I'm pretty sure is anytime but not sure.

Every pregnant woman should be offered the jag in flu season (now), whooping cough is 28-30 weeks.

I definitely felt it at the time, and it's pretty achy at the mo. Feeling rather sorry for meself

Ooh leant on my arm, that bloody hurt!

Oh bless my lovely DS just rubbed my arm and asked how I was. I was fab until you rubbed me right on the spot the jag went in darling.

Aww bless him.

My mum/dc and dp all managed to give mine a prod at some point, very tender now

Do they have a specific arm them like to jab in so to speak? I have whooping cough jab tuesday and want it the other side I think.

I just think any big muscle will do, my GP asked which was my dominant arm and jabbed me in the other one. DH had his flu vacc on Tuesday and is still a bit sore, so I think you'd be perfectly reasonable to ask for the vacc to go in another muscle on Tuesday.

Thanks for the info mrs

My dps considering paying to have the jab, he always gets knocked badly by a fluey type thing every winter and doesn't want to when we have a new baby, asda pharmacy has it for £7, anyone think its worth it? My dcs have beastly immune systems and rarely get ill so no worries there!

Baby was very quiet yesterday and had me in bits fortunatly a pizza and cold drinks got the little bugger moving!

Hello ladies,

Just adding myself too, got a faint positive a week ago. The day my AF was due According to my calculations I am around 5 weeks.

Had two previous losses, one mmc (at 11 weeks) and a partial molar discovered at 12 weeks . I will also be requesting an early scan due to what has gone before.
Pleased there is a place where all the ladies now pregnant after loss can support and encourage each other. xx

Welcome to the thread, melli and congrats on the BFP. xx

Welcome melli congratulations :)

Thankyou lovely ladies x

Welcome Melli, and congrats on your BFP!

State - I definitely think it's worth it for £7, and I think that's £1 cheaper than last year isn't it? How's your arm now? Mine is actually worse than last year, and I'm also experiencing some discomfort across the muscle in my left breast. Very unpleasant.

I was NOT in the mood for shopping for maternity jeans today, but it had to be done. No where had their maternity range in stock! All "online only" apparently. Hurrah for good old Debenhams, a little more than I wanted to pay, but the perfect length and a size smaller than I usually wear. (vanity sizing I know but it works!!) I'm just on the hunt for the perfect pair of maternity leggings - any recommendations?

I've given up on my jeans, wriggler literally goes mad at my waistband if I dare wear them and I end up uncomfortable, stuck in legins now and longline tops and dresses, I got the next size up from my normal one in yours legins and they pull right up to just below my bra and don't fall down at all which is the biggest bonus!

Dps going to get the jab. My arms still quite tender, worse if I lie down or move it at all. I have been itchy today randomly all over nothing serious just a bit annoying, not sure if its connected.

Babys also quieter than usual, but our 'routine' seems to be busy for a few days, then quiet, then busy again, frustrating! But I'm bound to be in panic mode this week as its a year since I got my bfp for the mmc.

Congratulations and welcome to the thread Melli wish you well with your pg! This thread has been great for me, full of lovely ladies and you'll get a lot of support here. Hope everyone is doing ok, I have my 28 wk appointment with the midwife in a fortnight, can't believe it, soon will be in the third trimester woohoo Been feeling bit sick today, presume it must be how baby is lying as I've had really bad heartburn last couple of days. Also had a really horrible trapped nerve like pain in my hand, doesn't seem to be too bad today but still niggling. Backache has eased off but is starting up again as I type this, had to go through a few boxes this evening to find my little hot water bottle! Just realised what the time is and honestly, this is the latest I've been up all wk! I feel like a right boring old fart at the minute as all I seem to do is sleep I miss staying up lateish and I miss wine, roll on Jan!

Ouch state&mrsr not looking forward to that jab but got to get one with it I suppose! I had to go maternity clothes shopping at 14wks . It's fair to say I popped out quite early! Shopped for quite a while at peacocks, they seem to be the only affordable clothes shop which are a decent fit on me! So bought a couple of pairs of mat leggings from there, bought my normal size and they're really roomy although £8 a pair. I also managed to get 2 pairs of jeans on ebay for £5, 1 from peacocks, 1 is papaya, both over the bump, slouchy style, very comfy and will do the job. Tops I've bought are a range of long sleeve&vest tops for 99p each from charity shops in next size up.

gem I've been getting pains in my hands/wrists, I'm considering the gp as the best mine goes down to is a dull ache or feeling a bit odd. I've read online its quite common and there are things to do to help if you see a gp. My backs ok atm but has been rotten a few times before, I used a hot water bottle too, it was magic!
