Another thread for the lovely ladies who are pregnant after miscarriage :)

Congratulations suzy, enjoy your newborn cuddles!

Glad your scan went well cherry and everything's looking good for now.

Welcome cariad, hopefully it's third time lucky for you.

I'm 6 weeks today and the nausea has started to kick in this week. I'm also absolutely shattered, had a nap this afternoon and could still quite happily go to bed right now! The midwife called yesterday to take my details and said she'd chase up my early scan referral as I still haven't got a date, so hopefully I'll hear back from the next week.

Hi everyone! waves
I recognise so many of you on here! So lovely to see all your pregnancies progressing
I got my BFP last week, 5 weeks today so early days but feeling positive about this one which I hope is a good thing. I'm exhausted! Luckily my DS is a good napper so I've been able to take 2 hour naps during the day.
Iv been really dizzy too. I got up to DS in the middle of the night on weds night, took a dizzy turn at the top of the steps and ended up right at the bottom! Got myself to the GP yesterday after crying all day about losing little bean who said my blood pressure is too low but that bean will be absolutely fine. So DP is on night duty from now on and I had to take the day off work today (I only work Friday and Saturday) as my whole body hurts.
Fill me in where you ladies are at. Purple how many weeks are you now? I don't like chatting too much on our October bus as I worry about those who are struggling to conceive or who have MC'd too.

Stats: 25, DS is 18 months, MMC at 9 weeks in October (due date 28th of May and dreading it), currently 5 weeks pregnant, DD 17/18 of December but probably C section around the 10th.

Thanks for inviting me sunbathing x

Hello haribo! :)
Congratulations!
I'll be 18 weeks tomorrow.

Congratulations on your little one Suzybean and great news on the scan Cherry.

Fifi, been thinking of you today, glad you didn't need to go through the procedure, hope that means everything won't drag on too long and you can indulge this weekend. Really really hope it happens again for you very soon. Great that DS had such a lovely birthday, you must have done a fantastic job.

Haribo so lovely to see you here. I have been meaning to pm you to see how you are getting on. Definitely look after yourself, I also felt crap and DH has been on night duty and doing a lot of the care. Needs must. I am 28 weeks tomorrow and still feeling pretty crap but there is finally a bit of an improvement. Still struggling with food though which is depressing. I know what you mean re the Oct bus but I really wouldn't worry about talking about it, I'm sure everyone is over the moon for you after what you have been through and they will all get there in the end.

It's so lovely to see you all so far one. I'll have to log onto my laptop envious but I'll definitely have a look at your scan picture!
Has anyone found out sex?
Gives me so much hope that I will get there too
I got dizzyness with DS but not to this extent. I'm not bothered about any symptoms as long as little bean is okay! Lots more symptoms this time round which is fab.

28 weeks purple! Wow. I'm sorry it's been such a rough ride for you. Totally cliche but It'l all be worth it when you have your little rainbow baby in your arms.

treacle I'm 20 weeks today.

Had my anomaly scan which was all perfect, really nice long appointment checking all the areas. It was lovely. Only issue and I feel terrible having a moan as I'm so happy everything is healthy but the sonographer referred to a gender just at the end as she was trying to move baby to check the last area. No one reacted but I checked with my DH when we came out and he heard it too. Feel bit gutted as I really wanted to wait to find out.

I'm having a little boy haribo :)

Sorry to hear that cava, as sunbathing says it could just be the sonographer using one gender.

Congratulations Treacle
I'm guessing sunbathing your having a girl?

DS at his 20 week scan was referred to as a she until I actually asked the gender and he was a he! I think some of people who do the scans just slip into saying a gender as a way of describing them rather than it being their actual gender. In most cases, they have to actively look for the gender as babies lay in all sorts of positions so wouldn't know just from checking the baby over. Hope that is of some reassurance.

Hello haribo great to see you here.

I've made it past the 12 week milestone. Starting to feel a bit less nauseous too, oy when tired it very hungry now rather than all the time. DH says he can see a wee curve that is unmistakably baby rather than buns ??

• good to have you. fifi I hope you're being well looked after.

I've had a weird few days of feeling irrationally like I'm not pregnant, then kind of getting over that to realise just how unengaged I am emotionally with this pregnancy. It's like I'm trying to protect myself in case it goes wrong, despite knowing it'd be grim however my emotions had been. I wonder at what point all the emotions will come out...

And I've had a crap week for achieving anything work-wise which means I'm trying to get stuff done now only with no brain and no energy, so I faff and things don't get done but still need doing. It's a vicious cycle and I need to get off MN and get on with stuff.

Hope everyone else is having relaxing weekends rather than my knackered still need to pretend to be functional for work one!

Congrats on passing the milestone north! Agree with others on the gender point - they really have to check and I think are good at asking whether you want to know. Hard to be sure but I bet that saying he or she is a habit for some! I referred to my little bean as he for ages before I knew - otherwise I found myself saying 'it' and that didn't feel right whereas 'the baby' felt like I was going to jinx it!

Stick and Purple I'm ok thanks. It feels easier than last time. I'm quite tired but enjoying the beautiful sunshine.
I'm sorry to hear that you've had a tough week stick. It's a natural reaction to protect yourself, I'm sure things will feel much easier once you've had your 12 week scan. If you're tired, have a rest, enjoy the good weather. Take care x

Thanks everyone for the reassurance on the gender. Really has helped. My DH is saying the same that because baby was being awkward and wouldn't move she has just associated awkwardness with being a him . Just going to put it out my head and carry on on the focus about being delighted how reassuringly normal everything was!

stick I was completely detached until I had a scan at 16weeks, it is just our way of self preservation. I am very much attached now, but still slip into negative mind set. I have also been crap at work since 4 weeks, I don't have the brain capacity to be firing on all cyclinders whilst also concentrating so much on doing the right things for baby. I'm not letting it get to me though I've been brilliant for years I am entitled to be a bit rubbish for a few months
