PG after MC, the new and shiny POSIFRICKINTIVITY thread...

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

Oops! I posted the last post and didn't link to a new thread! Sorry!
Anyway, here it is, come on in for the best support going and a safe place to vent. and a lovely squishy new set of twins

Birds first pg, generally around 20 weeks. Subsequently often at around 15/16 weeks. Although every one is different.

I'm sure I've felt some tiny little bubble like sensations already which is how I first felt DS (but it's probably wind isn't it?)

Great news Birds and Total, hang on in there Swan...

Pentagon my day was boooooring! I have decided I don't like work which will please DH as he's trying to convince me we can afford for me to stay at home (he's not good with money though so our opinions differ on this!). Can't remember who asked but I get up that early to start at 7 and have to commute from Kent into London. I'm going to invent a maternity leave advent calendar to reward myself with chocolate for every boring day I spend at work before the end of October - any buyers?!

birds I'm an oddity (or my children are ) as I felt DS at 15+6 but didn't feel this one till 17+5 and I didn't panic about that at all, no so you might be lucky and be early like I was with DS

Birds - I wrote this all down for when someone asked!!
Is my first dc;
First movements (wriggles not kicks) 15 weeks-ish
Definite distinguishable kicks; 18 weeks
DH felt kicks at 18+3 - but not regularly until 20+1

Hope that helps!!

Diet - I keep thinking about you, and the fact that you get to meet your babies in less than 24 hours. Will be wishing you all the best for tomorrow, and excitedly waiting (until you are ready) for a lovely update :) good luck lovely. X

Total and birds - great news!
Hoping for some good news coming in from Swan.
Kjh - I never had any symptoms when having my daughter, not till about 16 weeks in when I couldn't face greasy foods! No sickness, no sore boobs, nothing. Wasn't really convinced I was preg until the scan.
To all those talking about movements, I have been feeling flips for about 2 weeks now, and today is the first day iv felt definite little bumps 18+4 today and ignoring the fact that scan is coming up

Congrats on the fab scans total and birds.

Garden 4:55 start!! that sucks. what time do you finish? Hope you at least get home relatively early. I don't envy london commuters. Must be getting tough hauling yourself out of bed every morning. At how many weeks are you going on mat leave? Don't leave it too late to go on mat leave. you need to rest up.
So many people push themselves to work as long as poss up to their due date these days. Why do we do it to ourselves? To think our parents generation all used to go off at 28 weeks!

I had my whooping cough jab today. Didn't realise it it also tetanus, polio and diptheria so at least now I am up to date on everything. Also have a bit of a dead arm.

Finish at 3 Bod so home for 4:30 to pick up DD (not all bad). I'll be starting my maternity at the end of October but have quite a few random days off in Sept and Oct due to the childminder packing it in. Not sure looking after DD will be restful but I won't miss my alarm clock!
Need to book my whooping cough and flu jab too, well reminded

wow i have so much to catch up on!! fab scan news today girls! swan, hope things are going ok for you x

anda i'm getting very excited for you for tomorrow! :)

pentagon - yup i was a total indie kid heehee! i think baby knew i was more in love with damon than brett :)

i'm getting the whopping cough jab on friday at my 28 week appointment. one more thing to tick off the list!

Great scan news Birds and Total.
Hope today went well for you too Swan. x

Thinking of you tonight anda hope you get a good nights sleep tonight and can't wait to hear your news tomorrow xxx

My scan went well baby was wriggling about I am just waiting for the blood test result for Downs,which I get in two weeks.

Congrats on the scans Total, Swan & Birds!

DS2 did his first proper smile today, he looks more like a human & less like Dobby everday, going to try & take some photos of the two of them together tomorrow...

Bod, I was itchy from the jab for 3wks or so, mark lasted a lot longer.

Great news Swan, hope the next two wks fly by for you.

Thinking of you Anda, so very nearly there xxx

Anda you are going to have so many people holding your hand tomorrow, there won't be room for the surgeon!

Good news re wriggling baby Swan.
Good luck Anda, hope it all goes smoothly. Thinking of you.

Excellent scan news birds, swan and total

I'd like a maternity leave advent calendar please garden and as I have 24 days left its quite fitting! Will there be nipple cream and ear plugs in it?
Good god your commute! I'm tired thinking about it, I would definitely be snoring on the train if I was you!

And the good news is my dead arm is back to normal - until I have it jabbed on Friday :)

Nice one swan :) super news!

Oooh I want a maternity leave advent calendar!! I'm totally going to make one!! In fact garden, you could totally market that!! I want tangfastics and big knickers in mine :)

My maternity leave cover started training today eek! This is real!

Happy babiesday for tmro anda if I'm not online :) big hugs and lots of love xxxxxx

Oooh hope all goes well lovely Anda xxx

Excellent news about yhe scan, swan!

Friend of mine used an advent calendar to count down to her mat leave- an actual one (obv) as she was due late nov/dec I think! I winder when they come out in the shops?! Although I do have a lovely felt one with pockets that I bought for my classroom (and is now going to belong to my own kids!!) in which I could put things like sweets and maternity knickers, hahaha!

Saggy you just made me cry a little bit. You're all so lovely. Thank you for all your kind words and for all your good humour and unfailing support over the last few months, and before, those of you that were on the TTC thread with me.

I've had a slightly traumatic last day - went for the pre-op this morning and hadn't felt Ethel for a while which I mentioned. I then proceeded to keel over having bloods taken. The mw couldn't find a trace on the ctg so sent me down to u/s, where I nearly fainted again waiting. Around then the mw turned up in u/s to check that I'd had steroids because it wasn't in my notes. I explained that no, I hadn't - I'd asked the reg at 36w and he'd said he'd checked with 'the boss' and she didn't want to give me them. Mw asked me to confirm that he'd checked with a senior several times then disappeared, and then after the scan I was summoned back to the ADU and told I needed steroids and had to come back at 10pm for the second dose. Glad I've had them but cross it's literally been on the last minute and they could have had longer to work and benefit the babies.

Will try and update when I can tomorrow but realistically it's unlikely to be until early evening at the earliest. I so hope I have good news.

Congratulations on the successful scans today - hope we're on another posifrickintivity roll!

Love to you all, you're all brilliant, and best of all, today you're all pregnant xxx

yay, more good scans! Congratz total and swan!

garden I love the advent calendar idea! And respect for your commute!

janie I was an indie kid too! aahhh, those were the days....

So good to hear from you gary - I love the "looks less than Dobby every day" comment!

Thinking of you anda! I hope you manage to get some sleep tonight - all the best for tomorrow, my lovely! xxxx

Andadietcoke - will be thinking of you today my lovely and your special girls as they make their arrival. Sorry to hear you had a worrying day yesterday. Lots of calming happy thoughts, when i had my c-sec with my daughter visualising i was on a warm sunny beach in the indian ocean really helped keep me calm as they did the epidural etc. cant wait to hear your news!!

Congrats to swan, total and birds!!

jmf I have just put my towel on the sun lounger, not for a cs but I've decided to stuff the big pants in the maternity advent calendar on your Indian ocean beach. Yum. Tis lovely here!

Oh Anda, no more sleeps. I really hope they don't keep you waiting all day. Little Ethel sounds like a tinker! Please have my biggest warmest hug to give you a little boost. I feel privileged to have been a part of your journey xxx

Sorry abt yesterday anda but none of that will matter soon when you have your babies Will be thinking of you x

Good luck for today Anda - not long now and you will be holding your babies!! I'm so excited for you!

Re feeling movement I felt DS at around 18 weeks, have already felt some flutters this time (now 13+5) for the last few days. Only if I lie very still though, sure it'll be ages until DH can feel them!

I've got just under 4 weeks until my next scan, can I have an advent calendar for that? Chocolate may distract me from my scan doom when that kicks in!!
