Shiny and new posifrickintivity thread for pregnancy after miscarriage.

[MrsGiraffe12]

Hand holding, fish slapping and general bat shit craziness :-)

Scan should be Tuesday can't wait just that confirmation baby is ok

Morning all, sorry have been a bit quiet!

baby you poor thing, what an ordeal and how scary! I am so sorry for you as have had kidney issues in the last and know how painful it can be. Pleased to hear it's not baby related though. Thank goodness you went to A&E!

miss I'm sorry to hear your news, am thinning of you. How are you doing today?

happily congrats on lovely scan news and sea too. I am
Reading this on my phone and struggling to read back through all the posts I've missed, what a busy few days it's been!

I'm ok here, freaking out a lot really as symptoms have decreased a lot. I'm 7+1 now and basically other than infrequent mild nausea, tiredness and v sore boobs I feel fine. I even managed to stay at a party thing last night till 10 so I obviously don't feel too bad. I know I should be happy but deep down can't help worrying something is wrong. Last week I felt absolutely awful and now I feel well ok really except tired. I know with DD I didn't feel too bad (similar I guess) but the first two weeks in this pregnancy I felt shocking and am v scared that seems to have gone. DH tells me to stop worrying/enjoy but it's just so so hard isn't it. Thankfully no pain really (mild aches) but no bleeding at all so I guess that's good. Feeling scared though. Considering going for private scan on Monday but can't face the bad news!!

Has anyone else had this decrease in symptoms and a happy outcome? I should say I am taking the B6 and that has helped so there's a slim chance the build up of that has helped nausea but never thought it could be this good!!

Anyway everyone have a good weekend (where possible). Sending you all happy positive thoughts and trying to do the same myself!

If you stopped bleeding missmakes that sounds like a positive thing :) fingers crossed for you hope everything turns out well for you :) I'll probably have more infections like this I did with DS but knowing what it is saves panic later

miss it's a good sign you still feel really sick. I know it's no consolation but altho I still had symptoms with my MMC they were a lots less (which is why I am panicking now) and I think early morning nausea is a good sign for you. It's your birthday too?? You poor thing feeling like this on your birthday! Well at least you got a lie in! Me too, am milking it a bit at the mo but DH seems not to mind too much!

Ilovechops, my symptoms disappeared from 8 weeks. I was so paranoid & by the time we went for our 12wk scan, I had DH & I prepared for the worst. We got the happiest shock of our lives when our little Bean was doing somersaults!
I know it's not easy, but just count yourself lucky that you don't have prolonged sickness. My only saving grace from wk 8-scan was that I was still off coffee & chicken!
Best of luck!

Thanks blank I do still have some good aversions and last night in the pub even looking at wine made me feel sick so that's positive I guess! Will try and enjoy while it lasts.

First pregnacny I was pretty ok tbh didn't suffer a lot at all I just assumed it would be worse this time as week 5-6 I felt so so bad but last few days remarkably better. I think I'll go for a scan this week as I can't face the wait till the 19th when my next one is. Stupid I know.

OMFG. I just felt very distinct kicks! I know what they feel like from previous pgs, and got them with ds2 at about this stage, but I never thought I'd get them again! 9+5 today. And DH is out, so no one IRL to tell... Crying with relief...

Thanks all, feel like I'm up for an afternoon out now, yesterday felt like doing nothing. Still got twinges and almost cramps feelings, trying to ignore.
In two minds about booking a private scan as if it's bad news then would rather be at the hospital.

Fantastic news Tanny that's amazing, I didn't feel Dr for months as she was anterior placenta, hoping I might feel things earlier this time.

So, I think the nesting instinct has well and truley kicked in. DH came up to bed to find me on my hands and knees in the bathroom scrubbing the time grout with a toothbrush and bleach :-) if you knew me in real life you would be shocked. I'm not a slob but I usually just use them antibacterial wipes lol

Got up and did similar to the kitchen today, as well as reorganising the cupboard under the stairs for the pram and stuff. All I planned on doing was sitting doing nothing today but was the urge to clean was so strong I couldn't stop myself!

Back is aching like crazy, Braxton hicks are stronger and I've crusty boobs from the colostrum. Plus walking like john Wayne makes me think that labour isn't far away :-)

MrsG yep I use the wipes or the foam you leave on and rinse off too! Scrubbing is definitely nesting! We just bought a carpet washer - tbf it was £50 off in Argos and we have to hire one sometimes anyway as our carpets are pale, can stash in the garage for most of the year.
Also a new phone as my old Blackberry was on its last legs and I was getting paranoid about it conking out at an inopportune time when my waters break in Primark or something LOL. My new one is gold woooo! So bling. My excuse is it's the same model as DH so we won't accidentally pick up the same one haha!

squizita me and DH have the same phones right down to the same photo on the lock screen. Good job we have the times different (him 24 hour clock, me 12 hour clock) or we'd end up taking each others phones haha.

I just want baby out now, I've had enough of being enormous. 4 weeks early though so not great of it does come x

Am I the only one who doesn't have nesting instinct? Didn't last time and I wonder if I would either. I'm very lazy when it comes to housework! Never like doing them. What is this rinse off foam? Does it clean the grout? Does the wipe work? I just wipe the tiles with a cloth and a spray and rinse off

Oh and I don't like a dirty home either. Hence the dilemma. Got rid of the cleaner for maternity leave so it's just me doing it now.

And should I say I'm clueless when it comes to this stuff . I tried cleaning the windows on Friday and left lots of streaks! My mum is no help either because she's exactly like me. And apparently my maternal grandma too. At least I can cook, which is a first in 3 generations!

onetoddler I'm no slob but I don't do anymore than the basic clean, with the wipes. Though I usually do this everyday. I can't cook either (wonders what DH saw in me lol).

But yesterday and today I've been cleaning like a mad woman. What made me query it meaning labour isn't far away is I went like this 2 days before I had DS too.

Don't wish for nesting instinct, it sucks to be on your hands and knees at 36 weeks pregnant scrubbing at tiles with a toothbrush lol x

tan amazing you are feeling kicks!!!

And lovely to hear all this nesting going on, I remember scrubbing floors for days before DD arrived, trying to encourage her if anything.

Sadly not such a good day here. No symptoms left now, felt fine all day plus now have cramps, not strong but a sort of period like feeling. I felt exactly like this after I had MMC and was waiting for ERPC so I think I know what's happening. I know nothing is certain but I just cried to DH as I feel like I just 'know'. I was right about it last time sadly. Anyway I'll go up to the EPU on Monday if they will let me in. Feeling v sad !

Woohoo Mrs G sounds like things are getting close! I never got as far as nesting with DS (born at 35 weeks) so DH had to do a huge clean while I was in hospital or we would have brought DS home to an absolute tip! Although I know you don't want baby to come right away when I was in they said anything past 36 weeks is fine, generally ready to go straight home. So you've basically got a fully baked one in there if it does decide to make an early appearance!

Happy birthday miss - great news no bleeding today, hope you enjoyed your afternoon out.

baby ouch kidney bleeding sounds painful! But fab it's not baby related. Positive vibes for your scan next week.

tan jealous of your kicks! I've had phantom kicks ever since having DS, so I don't know how far along I'll have to be to know for sure what I'm feeling. Phantom kicking no fun straight after a MC, that's for sure. Can't wait to feel the real thing!

Ilove hopefully cramps are just stretching pains. I was convinced before my last scan that nothing would be there, but I was wrong... I think feelings of total doom are inevitable after a MC (especially a MMC), but they're often wrong. Hope tomorrow is a better day for you [hugs]

Oh I'm sorry ilove that is rubbish, fx that you get seen and it's better than you think. I know I instantly think it's going to be bad because I feel like it's going to prepare me.

Hate the bloody waiting, I've not had any more bleeding but have had lots of pains, in all different places, sharp and dull. Been taking paracetamol, still having symptoms but not constantly. Still being pessimistic, bought myself a new dress that wouldn't last any time if I am still pregnant, hope I'm tempting fate!

I get the nesting thing really bad. I'm desperate to nest now but can't as currently home is a building site and we can't live in it!!! But I was hoovering every day, skirting and all - up until ds was born. My logic was that I wouldn't know when I would get to do it again! It's useful if you get it I find, as can start clearing out random drawers and being quite ruthless on some clear outs!! But can also be on uncomfy on all fours scrubbing the floor (which also did, a lot!)

Four wees in the last hour. Someone is jumping on my bladder. Ow.

missmakes I did just that re the dress. It was expensive and new I wouldn't fit of this pregnancy worked. I got to wear it once! (Obviously hope to get in it again after this preg). In fact I bought stuff in my usual size right up til 12 week scan as was trying to act normal in case it didn't all work out again.

mrsg the thought of me on all fours trying to scrub the grout with a toothbrush is just too funny to contemplate. I hope I don't catch it as like fedup says it must be uncomfortable with a large bump. I feel so rubbish all I want to do is lay on the sofa all say. If you are right about the nesting then you will soon see your new baby. How exciting.

ilove hope you are feeling ok.

fedup I feel like someone jumping on my bladder all the time

I'm only 36 weeks tomorrow though so hopefully won't come just yet but I'm so ready! Though I'm a month further than I got with DS so I'm really pleased :-)

mrsg I'm with u on the nesting, although not quite as much as u! Got rid of the couch as it seemed too old n dirty n have been cleaning the carpets all week. Braxton hicks are still fairly strong but no other proper signs :-/ although iv really overdone it at work today (an only eaten 1 sandwich all day) n this has resulted in some extra strong Braxton hicks n the babies movements going crazy :-/ it's makin me a little worried that iv caused him distress somehow. 37 weeks today tho so if he comes now il be happy!

alb fingers crossed you deliver before me as your before me on the stats :-) eek gonna be a few thread babies in the next 5 weeks if we deliver on time what with me, you and squizita x

Exciting times!
8 weeks for me (only 5 term) and feeling a bit eeeek about it.
Got a better night sleep last night and DH has got ds today to entertain so I can crack on and finish my assignment. Please stop me if I think it's a good idea to do another course in September (all part of me changing career) as I want to focus on ds at new nursery, getting house sorted and things for new baby. Just hope it doesn't take me all day today !
