[Treaclepie19]

For all the lovely ladies who are pregnancy after miscarriage! :)

Woohoo, Treacle! That's a lovely scan picture too. Baby really is having a bit of a dance around!

Thank you all :) Baby wouldn't keep still!
We got a lovely little video.

Great news Treacle! I was scanned today as well and was also 9+3. We can be baby buddies! Hope you feel more relaxed x

Yay! :)
Glad all was well worried :)

I do feel more relaxed. I'll be even more relaxed once I get rid of these pains. I think they're just wind but they're so sharp!

Congrats worried brilliant news!!

Great news both of you!

Great news both! I have been really busy of late so need to read back and catch up with everyone's news.

I had my last scan at St Marys on Wednesday (11 weeks) and mow they have said as everything is progressing well I am to move over to my local hospital so I have my 12 week booked for Wednesday which is exactly 12 weeks for me.

Now that it's getting to the end of this trimester how did everyone handle the change of moving from very tentative to having extended people knowing and their blasé approach - I know it has to happen but it seems a big jump!

Also has anyone been taking progesterone, as St Mary's have said I should look at stopping at 16 weeks but I'm scared to change anything (I'm still attending my fertility acupuncturist because I don't want any routine go change?!) When did everyone else stop?

Hey cava, I was on the Coventry protocol so finished at 12 weeks. I know it's scary leaving specialist care behind, but it's a great milestone!

Tell people when it feels comfortable, some people on the RMC thread are 20+ weeks and still not quite ready. I told people as I went along, and did a fb announcement at 13 weeks after dating scan. I didn't post any photos and did tell everyone a bit of my back story which helped.

And congratulations to worried and treacle, lovely news!

Hey cava I am struggling with the transition between only family and best mate knowing to everyone.... Because I am not excited and everyone else is.... I am worried and when people talk about this actually ending in a healthy baby it causes me to be really anxious! But apparently I can't tell people to stfu because it 'hurts their feelings' and 'they are allowed to be excited'.... Maybe I am just a cow but it brings up all sorts of 'pregzilla' feelings

Congrats on your good scan cava. I echo what tanny has said and tell people when you're ready. I told my parents, sister and grandad (dh told his too) after the successful 12 week scan, then when we saw DH's closest group of friends at about 16 weeks as we were down at theirs for the weekend. I have told a few of my closest friends too but not all. I just want to get to the 20 week scan and if all is well, with no life threatening anomalies, I will then make a fb announcement to let the rest know. I feel so anxious because of the downs risk (even though I am generally positive that one in 85 is still decent odds) and worry that there's either organ problems or if it's a trisomy 13/18 baby.... Maybe that's why I haven't spread the word so much. It's so annoying I'm not over excited though!

Congrats cava :)

I'm having the opposite problem. I'm so excited after my scan yesterday. I think I've been swept up in everyone else's excitement which makes me worry as I'm so vulnerable if anything were to go wrong.
I'm only 9+6, there's still so much worry time.
Still, I'm trying to relish being pregnant. My little dancer has to be a fighter and so do I :)

Thrilled for you cava! I'd echo the others and say that you should tell people when you're ready - I know that 12wk is the norm for FB announcements etc but it's not for everyone. I told my boss at 13wks and the rest of the office after hearing heartbeat at 16 but that was partly practical - I'd almost fainted whilst with a member of my team and I thought it unfair that she didn't know! My close friends all know and it's hard - although we're all in our 30s none of us have kids yet (that's professional life in London for you...) so they are more excited than I can be. I do sometimes wish we could talk about something else,!

Telling people was a huge step for me. I told work colleagues and clise friends and family after dating scan. Then a few others in their Christmas cards (around 28 weeks by then. The first mention on Facebook was when I went on maternity leave at 36+3 and I got lots of 'i didn't know you were pg' comments.

Thank you sunbathing :)
I can't stop looking at our pictures and video. Definitely money well spent - it only cost us £45.

Yeah, it was just brilliant.
I couldn't imagine it going well and I don't think I've completely processed that yet!

I've not had an appointment through yet.
Met with the midwife on the 13th so hoping something will come through this week.

I agree about telling if and when you are ready. I had to tell my manager early on too as he knew about the MCs and I needed time off for early scan appointments but other colleagues had to guess by themselves when it started showing. Close family and friends we told after good 8-10 w early scans as we saw them but I have not uttered a word on Facebook at 38+5. Will just announce birth please God and am sure there will be many surprised acquaintances!

cava re your Q about progesterone, I took it until 16 weeks, but what you need to make sure is that you reduce it gradually, by one tablet every other day over the last week or so. How many tablets/mg are you on?
