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!

Ah state how hard for you both. Dd had her first day in year 1 yesterday and was nervous, but no tears thankfully, although there were plenty in the playground, including her bestie (who is a boy). Dd used to cry loads about pre school and it just killed me. Hopefully your ds will be happy again soon.

Aw state that's really hard. I bet she had a ball after you'd left? DS started nursery school a few weeks ago and was really upset when I left, but he loves it now :)

State that sounds awful, i don't know how i would have coped in that situation. my mum used to do the same thing when she started school apparently and one day my nan hung around and looked through the window and a a couple of minutes later mum was right as rain and playing with the other kids! after she accepted that she was staying there she joined in and enjoyed herself, i hope it's the same for your DS.

Congrats on your boy gemdrop mine (now 3 years old) is a real delight, trouble during pregnancy than plain sailing ever since, he even hugged me and told me he loved me the other day without prompting!

i'm feeling pretty rubbish, my grandfather died last week and it's his funeral today, i've only had four hours sleep. i've had this week off work to try and relax a bit (my job is really stressful) but have only had one full night's sleep so far. i'm worried about the affect all this stress and sleeplessness is having on the baby and i've got to back to crappy work on Monday feeling almost as bad as when i left! oh well only a month to go before glorious maternity leave (and only 7 months to go before i frantically start looking for another job!!!)

thanks hzgreen I'm so excited about having a boy! Your ds sounds adorable! sorry to hear about your grandad x

Wow I am so relieved to find this thread, I have been driving myself completely loopy.

I am not great at posting/keeping up to date but am drawing comfort from women who actually understand how I feel.

I am 10wks now, have 2 DCs but before them i had a mmc picked up on a scan at 10+3 but didn't miscarry until more like 12+ wks. This time it just feels like torture and DP just doesn't get it.

And no chance of an early scan, have to wait til 12+6 which feels like an age away.

You lot have made me feel much more sane! Sending good wishes to all of you who need them....

Best of wishes to you too Macarooned, it really kept me sane too and I didn't feel quite so alone. x

Thank you gemdrops! I think I've found my new home.

Lovely Ladies, it as been great being part of this group, but I'm signing out now as it didn't go well at the scan today. They couldn't find sac and were worried it must be an ectopic, but blood results are so low I don't think it can be.

It was our last attempt at ttc. I'm going to be 45 next year and have wonderful children already. Time to celebrate and enjoy what we have.

Good Luck to you all, your bumps and your babies

Oh hope i am so sorry hunny, take care of yourself xxx

oh hope sorry to hear that, best wishes to you and your family xx

Sorry to read your news, hope. Take care

Hi Macarooned, fingers crossed for you x

State, that sounds awful, I hope this morning went better.

Hope, I am so, so sorry to hear your news. All the best for whatever the future holds for you and your lovely family. Take care of yourself xx

Hope so sorry to hear your news, I may be signing out soon too. I started spotting a week past Wednesday so was taken in for a scan on Monday. I'm pretty sure of my dates and that I should have been 8+2 but was measuring 6-7 weeks, there was a heartbeat so they did not seem too concerned.

We have the private scan that we booked weeks ago tomorrow so we're keeping our fingers crossed that the baby has grown but also have been trying to come to terms with the fact that this could be the end.

Hope, take care of yourself, thoughts are with you at this sad time x

hope I am so sorry to hear your news, but best wishes for the future what a lovely positive outlook you have xxx

Well ds was nice and calm today, very quiet but no tears, I was heartbroken yesterday and was crying until 11am on and off I couldn't bear to even think about him. The annoying thing is its year 1 he's started, he's been there a year already but they mixed the reception classes up for year 1 and he's unsettled.

So sorry to hear about your Grandad hz xx

Wishing you luck macarooned I had to wait that long for my first scan this time, it was hard going but I kept the idea in my head that if anything was wrong there would be no if/buts/waiting at that stage than at an early scan. But as you can see we made it through and I'm 25wks tomorrow

To all the newbies on this thread you are statistically more likely to have a healthy baby after a mc. Hold onto that, I did.

Anyway 25wks tomorrow and getting more excited, my mum brought a beautiful rainbow striped fine knit blanket for me today, I adore it, matalan for anyone liking bright unisex colours :) and I spent this evening snuggling my 7wk old nephew, it doesn't hurt anymore, I'm getting there.

Hi all, hope all of you are feeling well this morning, glad to say that at 7 ish weeks so far no mishaps and not too bad with morning sickness which is much different from my first 2 pregnancies I was vomiting all day everyday for pretty much whole of pregnancy, but I suppose this means I will be huge by the time I'm half way through, once I get past the 12 weeks scan I will get back to fitness training, I've been feeling very cautious until now to not cause aching untoward to happen. I got my anti natal appointment and a date for my 12 week scan, 4th oct :) wow soooo soon.....hope it's ok that I'm not as sick this time round and there is nothing wrong with baby.....

Hopeforever, I'm sorry to hear your news, take care xx

State, what a crappy thing to do to mix up the classes after they have made friends already!! Of course it will be difficult for the littleuns, they adjust quick tho' hope he goes ok. My oldest starts reception at the end of sept and I'm already fretting, not for her so much as she is so sociable but for me to fit in with the mums so she can get playmates etc

So sorry hope, u do sound like u have a lovely attitude but I know that it must be incredibly hard right now. I really hope there are some super lovely things awaiting you just around the corner. Xx

state I dont get the mixing up classes thing, and I would have been devastated if dds school had done that cage doesn't make friends that easily and thankfully has two good ones in her class. It's very unsettling for them. Glad he was feeling a bit better.

Good luck for the 4th shirley and your dd starting school.

I've got to move my midwife app on the 2nd as dp and his friend got thorpe park tickets from the sun so he will have the car

WL ds doesn't make friends easily, he will happily play with anyone but doesn't make proper friends like kids his age seem too, but he has built in best friends in dd and my little brother who are 12 and 16mnths younger than him so he doesn't seem the point I feel. I've hated every second of school run at this school, its soooo cliquey and just not nice, I gave up and kept myself to myself after a while and count down in my head until we all move.

Weekends here, chaos has resumed, kids been feral and next doors have been screaming and crying outside my window since 8.

anyone?

Had scan today, sadly no heartbeat. I seem to be okay at the moment not sure if the news has properly sunk in yet.

Good luck to all you lovely ladies with your pregnancies and thank you for letting me be part of this group.

Thank you for your kind messages. Hope you have support Rozzi over the coming days and weeks

Oh rozzi that really is crappy news. So sorry. I do hope all goes as well as it can over the coming weeks/months/years - hope to see you back here real soon

Thinking of you Rozzi xxx

Sorry to hear your news Rozzi, take care x
