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

My food aversion is still going strong here at 20 weeks, it's driving me crazy!

Yep my food aversions and sickness still present here too! No chocolate, no Pepsi/coke (the last two times I've drank Pepsi, I've sicked it back up through my nose?!?! Who knew on my third pregnancy id be acquiring new skills ) and absolutely nothing will garlic in it.

ginger, try not to worry too much, still early days and you may be lucky with little or no symptoms this time. Or maybe they'll be just around the corner.

longest, I had the gtt last time and have to have it again this time. Normally, you have nothing to eat from midnight, just water to drink, get to docs for 8/830, have a blood test then drink a bottle of lucozade over the next two hours then have another blood test at 10/1030. It's not the nicest of experiences, I'll be honest. And if I've still got first morning nausea and sickness, I will be fainting!

Mornng ladies. I'm also having a morning panic because I woke up this morning and I didn't feel crappy/sick (I'm 7+3). All last week I felt horrendous and could barely eat/stay awake (which perversely comforted me as I didn't feel like that with my last pregnancy that ended in MC).

Still feel quite tired and have some food aversions but my hangover-like feeling has lifted. Whilst this should make me feel good, I am freaking out that things are going wrong.

My husband thinks I worry too much but I can see I'm not alone!

I'm desperate to start feeling any symptoms, I knownl take comfort in feeling crapulent

thanks ladies. its not like i dont have any symptoms as i definitely dont feel normal if you know what i mean.

nausea comes in waves maybe a couple of times a day. not actually sick tho jus feel it. like my stomache is empty almost like when u have a hangover.

i have mild aches in my tummy and back much milder than period pains but i can feel them occasionally.

weird dreams and bad legs / hips in my sleep. so im not entirely symptomless just different to last time which is a good thing i guess.

ive been buying alsorts so subconsciously i think i know things r fine. spose symptoms vary so much u pick on the worst ones and expect to feel ill all the time but i dont. if i did id wish i didnt, i cant win ha!

Morning all, I've not posted for ages but have been following the thread and it's been lovely to see lots of new mums to be. I completely understand the panic over symptoms; most of mine disappeared at around 9 weeks and were hit and miss before then, so this can be very normal.
Today is exactly a year since we found out we had lost our last baby at 12 weeks. Even though I'm now 36 weeks preg and so far so good today is very hard. All the feelings have come flooding back and I feel so low and tearful. Poor DS is getting the brunt of my lack of patience today which is adding to the guilt and horrid feelings. I suppose I just wanted to acknowledge the little one who would have been 6 months old by posting here today. Lots of love to all you brave ladies xxx

Florence it's a year today since I started to miscarry, it feels like yesterday and I'm struggling a bit! Completely understand how you feel. I'm 18+3 and nothing in theory to worry about but I and help but feel upset, completely understand where you're coming from

I was warned by a lovely nurse at the time that these feelings will come back and sometimes it'll be when all seems well with the world, wise lady- I was lucky to have someone that lovely to help me at the time. I don't think any of us ladies on here can ever be fully confident of our pregnancies, it took until 27 weeks for myself and DH to change the way we spoke about the pregnancy from if the baby comes to when the baby comes and even then it felt like tempting fate.

Florence completely understand. Since the 12 week scan this time my DH is excited and talks about the baby as though he or she is here! It's lovely and I don't want to stop him but hard at the same time - there's such a small chance of anything going wrong but I have weird plans in place for it it does. I think we have to accept that we'll always mourn the babies we've lost however happy we are in our pregnancies or with or little ones

Sending hugs to florence and littlelady.
It's so tough :(

I miscarried on my birthday last year so it's going to be hard this year.
If all goes well at least I'll be 22 weeks pregnant :)

so sorry for those having a hard time at the moment. i havent had any milestones yet so not sure what it feels like but i hope u get through the day ok.

i think its nice to acknowledge what a special day it could have been.

Thanks all I know we've all had / will have some crappy dates coming up! It's nice to share it here without feeling guilty about not focusing on this pregnancy. Treacle on your birthday you poor thing! I know I'm so lucky to be pg again and just focusing on the positives!

Thanks everyone, pregnancy has softened the blow of dates so far but this one has hit hard, support on here is invaluable particularly when you don't want to/ don't feel you can share in RL. Littlelady hope your day has improved a bit xx

As positive as we all try to be, it's still tough and being pregnant is great but it doesn't change the loss.

I know, my birthday was not fun. I'd started miscarrying 2 days before but I spent my birthday morning in the hospital passing everything.
Still, this year will be different :)

Thanks broody - my appointment isn't even until 10. I'll be passing out with hunger!

I went to the doctors today so it's all official and I'm in the system. Still doesn't feel real though.

Was all psyched up to push for an early scan but she actually brought it up first and said she'd contact the EPU but it might depend on how busy they were of the were willing to see me.
By the time I got home she'd left an answerphone message with an appointment for 10th March when be 6+5. Will be holding my breath till then.

That's the day of my next scan! Two weeks to get through and we'll be there!

Possibly at early amber alert! Will keep you posted!

Ooooh tanny how exciting!!! I am more than ready to meet this baby, but very little in the way of signs

Hi northdownsmummy, have you been your booking appointment already? I've got mine booked in for when I'm 8 wks but am going to try getting an early scan at the EPU at 7 or 8 weeks. The EPU midwife said I could book a scan with hen directly after my mmc for piece of mind.

Hi heaven they seem to do the booking appointments really late here. With my last pregnancy it was between 10 & 11 weeks. This was the doctor contacting the EPU directly

North, my booking appt for my first pregnancy was at 11 wks. I was told it was due to the higher chance of mc before 10 wks. The receptionist insisted on booking me in early cos of my previous mc this time, can't real make sense of their logic. Anyhow, I don't really mind when it is as long as this bean sticks around for it.

I'm trying to hold off getting an early scan until wk 7 or 8 so there's a bit more to see. FX crossed there'll be a fierce little heartbeat

I think I am going crazy! I don't have any idea how pregnant I am as no AF since I MC in Dec. Going to see midwife on Thur.

However everytime I have the slightest twinge in my tummy or a small niggle of back ache I am convinced I am MC again. I can't function like this!

Hugs for florence and littlelady it'll be a year for me on Friday and I'm already getting worked up over it. Just can't shake that horrid feeling xxx
