PG after MC? Posifrickitivity and handholding aplenty

[WhatWillSantaBring]

Hello again - another shiny new thread for the batsh*t crazy women going through the stress and emotional rollercoaster that is being pregnant after a miscarriage.

Fingers crossed for lots of happy scans and boring pregnancies.

I'm having my flu jab and whooping cough tomorrow- both in same arm so only one dead arm! Eek. I hear the whooping cough one is painful afterwards!

I guess concern is I feel bad enough as it is at this late stage of pregnancy. Do I really want flu jab making feel even rougher ?

Sorry for late reply. Pulled back/ trapped nerve or somthing yesterday afternoon . Back has been going into spasm ever since. In serious pain and been up half the night. Knew somthing like this would happen he second I took mat leave! The annoying thing is if I had been at work still I could have got a sick note and not wasted my blimin holidays! Got a lumbar support which helps a bit. Going for appoint with midwife tommorow so will see what she says but assume it is usual advice - rest up etc

Black holes the whooping cough one was super achey after so don't get it on the side you sleep on! That was my biggest mistake! Don't remember the flu jab giving me a sore arm though x

Oh and I got the last flu jab in March (not February) so was in the first few weeks of this pg

tom your a girl after my own heart ;)

Hi there, can I join please? Only did test yesterday, so am barely pregnant. Mc in march so basically stressed out and worrying same will happen. Have low abdominal twinges and line was very very faint. Almost daren't believe it's true. Anyway, hello!

I had the flu jab at about 38 weeks with DC1... A week later a friend had swine flu (it was that year) so I was REALLY glad I had had it. Didn't feel anything after in terms of illness. They have been routinely giving the seasonal flu jab to pg women for three years now. If there was a problem then I think we would be starting to see evidence of it (eg a sudden spike in birth defects/development issues etc) but we haven't. That to me is pretty good evidence on a wide scale that it is are, AND there's a known risk of serious complications if you catch flu when pg. no brainer to me.

Hey baking fab to see you here.... Long may you stay.

Morning lovely thread friends!

OOOOOh Saggy!!! It's a girl?! How lovely :)

Morning all - back after a week's holiday and I made it to the magical 12week mark hurrah! and I am bloody terrified about my scan on Friday.

Had all my bloods done and so far everything seems ok plus I still feel like utter hell so I'm assuming that is a good thing and we are now three weeks without any bleeding so also a good thing. Right that is enough posifrickintivity for today then! Just can't wait to tell people the few that don't know the secrecy is officially killing me.

Also a friend gave birth to a beautiful boy last night (8lbs 8oz!) and I am broody as hell and can't wait to have my own squishy baby! Oh man, please let everything be ok on Friday

How's everyone else? Haven't had time to catch up on the thread yet. Sending you all lots of virtual hugs and - welcome to the newbies!!

Hello ladies- lovely day on the sofa for me today as my little girl was sick last night and couldn't go to school . Enjoying a day of scooby- doo!!
Hope you are all well- welcome to our new ladies. X

Hello all.
Kjh- yay 12 weeks!
Jmf - Jels of your day on the sofa!

Baby seems to have got huge over the weekend. Suddenly feels v big and heavy! Although she has just turned bum down again (naughty baby) so could be the change in position. 5 and half weeks to go. Feels like forever!

Well spotted Kjh!
She is indeed a girl!

Yay saggy Did you have another scan or was this the CVS full results, I can't remember?

Arrghhhh v. jealous you know your flavour!! DH is adamant we're having a surprise, I have one week until the 20 week scan to convince him to find out!!

It was the full results. Thankfully there are no 'other' problems!
I was like your DH but given everything that has happened I really wanted to know. I'm sooo pleased!

Aww saggy! Sorry I missed that, a pink one :) how lovely. Yay team pink!

Well I'm glad the full results haven't given you anything else to worry about, you have quite enough on your plate!
