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!

Thinking of you too Rozzi, take care and hope you have support xxxx

Ps is it quite normal for if there was a heartbeat and all the bits before that it can go once 12 weeks is up? I'm getting rather worried .....

hope and rozzi, I'm so very gutted for you. Take care of yourselves and stay strong.

Hope everyone else is ok? State, how is ds getting on now? I feel your pain too. My eldest has just started in a new school in year 5 after our move and I'm trying my best not to fret about him. He's overwhelmed at the moment and a bit scared as the work is more than he's used to at his last school (a good thing at his age IMO but I don't like leaving him looking so worried). He has a lot of catching up to do but when I try and help him practice at home he gets quite upset and convinced he can't do it, forgetting stuff he definitely already knew And it doesn't help that between my pregnancy sieve brain and his worry we've managed to forget reading books today, got there very late last week, and lost a jumper and a watch too...just hope it gets better for him soon. DS2 on the other hand, with his endless confidence, has taken to his new preschool with no problems at all

Midwife check today. Consultant tomorrow and hopefully a c-sec date!

Unfortunately Shirley it is possible to see a heartbeat at an earlier scan and then lose it by 12 weeks. I think it's if something doesn't develop properly between the scans that means baby wouldn't be able to make it. BUT once you have seen a heartbeat at 9 weeks there is only a 1./. Chance of mc. It's torturous I know. Just keep trying to believe everything is fine until you have some reason to think otherwise.

I'm extremely tired and so emotional today and had a bit if a cry after leaving dd1 at school. She was a bit sad about going now that the post summer holidays novelty has worn off and she's such a sensitive little bunny. And of course today is the day I work late so will only just home to see her before bed. Really wish I could be there to pick her up.

big hugs rozzi I'm sorry to hear your news, take care of yourself. I'm full of cold wellies managed to get some sleep last night and feel miles better for it. My face has been aching a bit over last couple of days, presume my sinuses are playing up. Head is really bunged up still so olbas oil is my best friend atm Managed to get my appetite back and been eating like a horse, seem to had gone off my food over last wk or so but I'm putting it down to getting this horrible cold. Good luck with mw check and how exciting for getting c-sec date!!

Thanks wlmum, I will stay positive as much as I can, morning sickness hit really bad today and feeling really tired :( also v little support aprt from hubbie as family has some serious issues going on for last 2 years so they lean on me and have loads on their minds, also feel too crappy to see friends at the mo, bed it is...

aww shirley have a nice rest and take it easy and hugs to you wlmum x x

Morning sickness, vile though it is, is a good sign. Bed is an excellent place to be. X

shirley morning sickness is a good sign, the tiredness too. Thinking of you.

gem poor you with a cold I caught a cold When I was about 4 or 5 months and couldn't shift it for 6 weeks, so I totally sympathise (and hope I don't catch another one now the seasons are changing!).

WL seems we are all suffering with the emotions of leaving our dc at school. It's tough, isn't it.

Another morning sobbing from ds, he started asking to stay home last night and persisted until 10pm and as soon as he woke today, I could still hear him sobbing when I was the otherside of the school. Heads all over the place right now as dd is suffering thanks to NO nursery/preschool places and ds is suffering thanks to a class mix up. :(

Oh state that's so hard. Dd1 used to be like that about pre-school. Are the school supportive or just the usual flannel?

His teacher takes him and sits holding him for us she's lovely, the school as a whole I'm disgusted with, headteacher and 5 members of staff left in July and its a mess now, I cannot wait to move and withdraw him.

Glad his teacher is so nice, that's what's most important when they're so young.

He's her youngest aswell, he was 5 in the last week of reception, whereas several children in his class turn 6 in the next week or so.

He's told me he had fun at break with a friend (who was also upset at drop off) so we spoke and I said maybe if they sit together they can help each other be brave, which he thought was a good idea, I've also bribed him with moshi cards on fridays for being brave, and explained me and daddy are sad leaving him too but we know when he's feeling braver he'll have such fun like last year. I've also promised to re-arrange his room tomorrow and put some new posters up for him.

He could ask me for a fecking car right now and I'd try and make it happen.

Anyway, how's everyones bumps? Mines getting HUGE and I'm slowly collecting bits we need, got a lovely wooden changing station today and one of those inflatable baby nests for when they learn to sit up, dd loved hers but I foolishly sold it, can't complain though, only paid £3 for this one off facebook lovely bright gund one and it has the toy arches over the top, if that makes sense.

And also I'm 25+1!!! Argh and still only had heartburn once, got the nausea under control and sitting correctly is keeping the ole hips comfy, its like my bodys saying sorry for last time, enjoy this one :)

My belly is pretty big too, I've got a support belt to help halt my separating muscles but it's straining at the Velcro so will have to get bigger size soon. My body is def more knackered out this time, things like getting up off the floor are hard already whereas only an issue nearer the end before. I have a list if minor grumbles but on the whole consider myself v lucky not to have any major probs and to have a healthy baby in my belly.

I can't sit on the floor anymore I get an awful pain across my stomach when I stand up scared me a bit but after making the same mistake too many times I sussed the issue. Didn't realise how often I sit on the floor so having a change around in the house and putting down ds bunks to a single so I can perch on his bed etc.

My bump is pretty big, I have to wonder how big this boy will be when he comes out! Walked into town this afternoon and did some shopping, was only out for a couple of hours but I had to get a taxi back as I felt exhausted and my lower back has been aching quite a bit today. Dread to think what I'm going to be like in a couple of months, I'm only 22 wks pg! I honestly felt so lazy getting the taxi and felt like I should be able to get on with it and walk home but I was so tired

I get really tired too gem, I'm trying to be a bit kinder to myself and allow some sitting down and rests but its so hard with other 2 dcs and always so much to do! Am desperately trying to get builders to start ASAP so they might be finished before baby comes and I might even have a couple of weeks of quiet mat leave.

I have a c-sec date! 28th September! Feeling excited and a bit scared but definitely very happy

I have to go for yet another scan on Tues because baby is lying transverse and I have placenta previa. If she hasn't moved around by then then they'll move the date forward, eeeeek!

This is really happening now!!!

Oh wow wellies good luck.

How exciting wellies a newbie before the end of the month! Why will they bring it forward if she hasn't moved?

Oh bloody hell! Dd hadn't got a space in nursery and after a tricky few days dp decided it was ridiculous when next doors dd who's 2 is being visited to start, turns out her DOB was wrong by a year, she starts tuesday! She's my baby

It will be far better for her all settled and having her space before dc3 arrives ofc, but what am I meant to do with myself!

Rest!

This is the first time I will have my house with no children in since july 2007, it will be weird. But yes rest, my choice of tv, sounds amazing. I'm slightly less freaked out now dds excited.

Sorry on phone so can't really name check, but eeeek wellies... Baby 16 days away, or less! And state @ your peaceful plans.

Now I'm going to be me me me again! Just back from maternity triage as baby not really moving. MW found hb ok, but scan showed possible low fluid levels. So they want to bring forward my 24 week growth / Doppler scan from next thurs to tomorrow. But tomorrow is DS's first day at new nursery. Well, 9.15-12.15, but I do need to be available to stay with him. The Dr was understanding though, and said she would call by 9 am tomorrow. I asked her if the scan tomorrow was just to reassure me or if she thought there was a clinical need, and she said the latter, because at 23+5 the baby is just on the cusp of being viable and if there is any suggestion of early delivery then steroids will make an important difference. FFS. Really worried now. I'm back home in bed and baby is moving again but I'm a bit scared. My bump measured ok, and my cervix was closed with no fluid leakage, but well you know. Add to this that I have a weekend with the out laws, I mean in laws, to look forward to. And work is a bit stressful at the moment. Seriously, if I'm told that giving up stressful things like work and in laws would help, I would gladly! Bit annoyed with DH who didn't respond to my update texts while I was waiting in the hospital ( he couldn't come as he had to stay home with DS), and then barely woke up and didn't respond when I told him what I'm telling you. No point waking him to tell him off, but I will definitely give him a piece of my mind in the morning!

Really should get some sleep as being tired will not help at all.
