New posifrickentivity thread for pregnancy after miscarriage.

[squizita]

Hand holding and fish slapping...

Thank you so much Radley! I can't believe how lovely you are, considering all you've been through and are still going through with the MS, asthma and infections... Really hope you get to feel better soon and enjoy the pregnancy and you get to cuddle your little one at the end, you really deserve it! Hugs!x
I didn't say earlier, as it might out me if there is anyone here I know, but I guess not much chance of that. We're off to Bulgaria on Friday. I still think of it as home as all my family is there and we have our own place there, so looking forward to going to the beach and having lots of people round ours in the evening! Will try and get the scan on the afternoon we arrive so we can share the news that evening.
blank best of luck at the scan, lovely! x

David, I'm with you on that! This morning I've yet to get anywhere near vertical, as I know I'll hurl...

Waiting for the sweet tea to kick in so I can move, and it makes me ridiculously happy!

5 weeks today, and still got another two weeks to be through my danger zone, so not relaxed, but definitely happy.

Radley glad to hear thing are feeling better, I hope you can get help to prevent you getting ill again. I felt the first tiny flutters when ds2 was about 12 weeks, but couldn't be sure until he was about 14 weeks that it wasn't just wind!

Silver Bulgaria sounds just lovely! We have a week camping in Dorset next month, but any break is good. Have a great and relaxing time.

Blank sorry, my post above probably just adds to your anxiety about lack of symptoms, but everyone and every pg is different. In my family we're all as sick as dogs and faint all over the shop, but I have tons of friends who've had these wonderful glowing pgs where they've sailed through. Good luck for your scan!

blank tanny's right it really means nothing I've friends have nothing and some every symptom under the sun. With my dd I was hurling multiple times a day up to 29 weeks, with this pregnancy I've only started having the odd sick day since 12 weeks. I know nothing will reassure you but try not to fret too much (that's rich coming from me I know) right, my colleagues of ill, I've already chucked up this morning.... I'm sensing this is not going to be a good day.... I know I shouldn't wish time away but god I'd love it if it were December now! Hope you all have good days xxx

Sorry, I was sick up to 20 weeks with my dd! 29 weeks might have finished me off lol

No problems Tanny! I'll probably be counting myself as one of the lucky ones at 3.30 today if all is well with the scan! I'm only 7+5 so still hope for the odd chuck up yet!

Good luck to all those who have scans today. Here's a hand to hold.

I too can honestly say that I'm only just starting to feel like crap all day, its been confined to the evenings up 'til now. Also I had all the symptoms under the sun going on with my mmc right up to the scan - (4 weeks of no viable preg) so feel that its not always the best indicator anyway. Roll on the next week - got a 9 week scan booked for next Wed. Can't come soon enough!

Good luck to all those with scans coming up.

I am one of those lucky one who was never sick during pg. Nauseous a lot of the time but never felt I would actually be sick.

6 weeks today and all is well. Started bleeding at 5+4 last time so that's a milestone passed. Still over 2 weeks till scan though.

Morning all and hope everyone who has sickness is coping ok. I have found that a constant supply of ready salted crisps and sipping of ginger ale and lemon squash are keeping me going!

It's my 12 week scan today and I am so nervous. My DH has taken time off to come with me which I am so happy about as I don't think I could cope going on my own but he is just as nervous as I am. Feels like a massive milestone if I can get a good scan today.

Good luck today ellis, I'm sure you'll have a lovely scan and can relax a tiny bit - at least for a few hours mine is tomorrow, gulp.

As for all those suffering with sickness, as others have said these symptoms or lack of just mess with your head and in the end don't mean an awful lot. With dd I had no symptoms at all except feeling a bit tired so when I went for my 12 wk scan I was convinced it was all a big mistake and there was nothing in there, but there she was! Then when pregnant the time I mmc'd I felt nauseous but bizarrely this happened even after everything had stopped developing as my body just kept pumping out those hormones. This time, I've felt rubbish, not been sick but felt it and really just felt ill by the evenings especially, almost like I'm coming down with flu. All I've wanted are salty snacks this time too. Thankfully symptoms do seem to be calming down a bit, I'm 12 wks today.

Passing the sick bucket, crisps, ginger biscuits, and all other manner of hopeful remedies to those that need them! X

Oh fuck, I've just joined the antenatal group. Hope that's not jinxed it!

I think I must be feeling brave today, so my stats are:

tannyLoo 42, TTC #3, 4 MCs (1BO), 1 MMC, EDD 10/03/15

Good luck for scans today. Fx for good outcomes

cake, i'll take that please, I left my ginger ale at home today - can sooooooooo tell. had to get by on two bits of toast and a packet of cheese crisps i'm just getting rushes of sickness unless im eating again, it's like a hunger sickness which bearly subsides but I'm not hungry (assume the lady who is the size of a bus will be me soon lol)

ref the symptoms, with ds1 I had queaziness mornings only, a migrane at 8 weeks for one day, and was physically sick at 19 weeks once think it was a bad sandwhich) but other than that nothing. the miscarriages i've had have had very strong very early symptoms which then either I bled or they disappeared completely. i can't remember ds2 but hubs tells me it's much the same this time, symptoms coming and going me obsessing. lets just hope, will know by tomorrow.

ellis good luck today my lovely.

blank it's not no, esp after a mc however I think i'd sooner be sick to be honest, as at least then you get to feel normal for a short while after again, instead of a constant am i no yes no yessssssss quick no im fine of if you should rush to the toilet.

silver, ooh have a lovely time away, really hoping you have positive news for your trip

big waves, hope all of you later ladies are taking things easy and resting up a bit.

in other news it appareas my collegue and I have been over looked again in the performance pay/payrises in the day job; i'm not overly happy she's very dejected. is it wrong of me to hide what's going on from my boss until the end of august to see if i obtain a pay rise or not? hmm, feels sneaky and hoping tomorrow is fine as i've said i'm taking ds1 to an apt but i just think if he knew now he'd be upset that i planned it (did partly) not give me a payrise, and think i'd not been being loyal as they have jsut employed someone else on my team which i requested for our work load at a lower level than myself, instead of getting someone in above me to control the team if that makes sense? so in essance he may feel short changed that they now need to employ a manager as well for my maternity period (if needed) argghh!

david don't feel guilty about work. It sounds like they've not been great to you re. pay rise etc. If your boss did know you were preggers however it would be illegal for him not to give you a pay rise for being preggers. Tell your boss when you're ready, totally your decision.

Ah, the irresitable duck down duvet of fatigue has got me today. I know I should be on the floor playing space rocket (large cardboard box) with my DD, I know I should be taking the washing out of the machine and getting it dry. I know I really should hoover....... and yet..... and yet the call of the snooze is hard to resist and I give in!

Hi y'all. Thanks for all the reassurance & advice!
My scan was fantastic! She initially couldn't see anything extremely so she went in with a probe. We got to see & hear our bean's heartbeat! An amazing feeling!
I really hope everyone else gets on well also today.
Jackthelab...paid to sleep...i love it!! Good on ya

Well after a lovely day dispite feeling really sicky I now hurt :( hoping all is ok tomorrow at my scan have to admit I am freaking out a bit after some spotting last night so fingers crossed all is ok would be an even worse time to get bad news as it's my wedding anniversary tomorrow praying everything is ok. Called epu this morning after last nights spotting and they said it wait for tomorrow's scan hoping I manage to sleep tonight

Waves to everyone! Sorry have missed loads on this thread. Thought I would have a break last week whilst I was on holiday. Anxiety has really calmed down, just as well as MS has started with a vengeance. So still here, still pregnant nothing much to report, had a scan this morning at 8 weeks and all looks as it should. Next scan in 2 weeks then I'll go over to normal antenatal care.

Hope everyone else is OK. Shall go and catch up now.

Good to see there's some good scan news, and good luck for ur scan tomoro babytinx

I'm really struggling to keep up on here at the min but i take that as a good thing as it means the thread has many more members than when I joined!

My crappy midwife team have struck again, I'm 32+3 today and I had blood tests at 28 weeks, have had a midwife appointment since and as nothing had been said I assumed my feeling extremely tired and faint/wierd craving for tissue was jus normal pregnancy, but then I got a voicemail this morning from a midwife telling me I'm anemic and need to speak to a midwife and pick up a prescription for iron tablets, i no there busy doing a very important job but 4 weeks to be told my blood test results were abnormal jus seems excessive to me, obviously I no I'm still lucky everything else is fine, but they said anythin abnormal wud be back within a few days, basically it's set off my pregnancy rage in full flow today, I'm finding that pregnancy rage is growing at the same rate as my bump... Apologies for the rant!

Congrats on great scans blank and drama! Ellis hope yours went well too and you're celebrating right now!
tinx fx it all goes well for you tomorrow. I'm sure it will and you'll be celebrating more than your anniversary tomorrow!
david and Tanny thanks for the good vibes! X

Yay for good scan blank - it's amazing seeing the little heart beat! The one that really got me was about 9 weeks when could see the little paddles for arms. But admittedly bawled my eyes out at my first scan 5+6 when saw little bean flickering away. Best feeling :) although short lived as the panic and paranoia soon returns! (Well it did for me anyway)

baby sorry to hear about the spotting. Hope it's nothing and all is good at the scan tomorrow.

alb I feel I have to chase my mw for everything too - matb1, Whooping cough jab etc etc. but they should have contacted you sooner re the anaemia. That's a crazy wait.

Cramp in legs getting and here. And tiredness still reigns. Oh and we have no roof at the moment so all this torrential rain has been fun - we now have a water feature in our living room

Been catching up on thread. Am glad there has been some good scan news. Fingers crossed for everyone else!

Thanks Silver yep the scan went well. I had to do lots of weird hip thrusts !! to get the baby on the right position for the sonographer to do the nuchal fold test but she was happy with that as well. So overall all good
Am up at this horrible hour cos DS has a stomach ache poor little thing. He keeps asking for tummy rubs so apologies if this message doesn't make sense as am typing mid belly rub!
Cake -good luck for your scan today. Will be thinking of you !

Lovely to hear good scan news from yesterday and good luck to those having one today. Been up since 4 ellis so I'm feeling some of your pain, hope your little boy is better soon :)
