Another posifrickintive thread for those pregnant after miscarriage #4

[Treaclepie19]

Welcome aboard ladies - bumps big and small :)

Ohhh Tori how beautiful is he!! Blooming gorgeous and all that lovely hair :) Massive congrats! Hope you can get some rest and enjoy lots of newborn snuggles :) xx

Pizza It took just shy of a week for my appointment to come through. The issue with May is the bank holidays, they will be on constant catch-up but if you have requested the nuchal fold they will get you in before the cut off point. They sometimes have to get the ultrasound techs to 'create' appointments. I hope you find out soon though xxx

OMG Tori isn't he precious! congratulations! eeeeh! I hope you heal swiftly and enjoy those cuddles xxxx

oh wow tori he is completely beautiful! congratulations and hope you are enjoying snuggles in bed

Congratulations Tori :)
He's so beautiful!

Congratulations Tori What a gorgeous little boy! x

Hi everyone. Recognise quite a few names from my previous due in thread/ttc after mc/mc support threads. I was originally due in Sept but it turned out to be a mmc (my third mc)
I'm currently 6 weeks and due in January and saw a flicker of a heartbeat at a scan this afternoon. Not out of the woods by a long shot but hoping for some hand holding whilst I do a fairly good impression of a panicked chicken
Morning sicknes currently has a good grip on me and I'm hiding on the sofa burping a lot after thinking that a chocolate digestive would help me. It didn't.

Hi brickie! Lovely to see you here, congratulations :)

Eeeek congratulations tori what a handsome chap xxx

Thanks ladies, just desperately hoped I get in for dating scan before next Friday so we could share our news with OHs Dad when we go down to visit next weekend but that's not looking likely with Bank Hol coming up...

Hiya brickie welcome x just for the record eating a "serves 4" amount of tortellini hasn't helped my morning sickness much either...

tori he is absolutely beautiful

Well after being hellishly excited after my 12 week scan, told anyone that will listen about it and now I think I'm jinxing it. Stupid isn't it?! I don't think the anxiety of being pregnant will ever stop

Huge congratulations tori, I hope you're enjoying a well earned rest in bed with your gorgeous little boy!

Welcome to the newbies, I'm still fairly new on here myself (11 weeks tomorrow!) but already found the support invaluable.

Mmmh tortellini... wish I had some now pizza! Will have to make do with penne pasta tonight instead.

Congrats tori Glad you're home getting to know each other snuggled in bed!

My OH has his head firmly in the sand. He has mentioned a few practical things and names but that's it!

16 weeks and still sick today but I've swapped back to shreddies for breakfast instead of bran flakes and was better for it - much reduced nausea.

Aw tori he is amazing. Can you believe it yet? Glad you're home. Were you in hospital throughout the induction?

Welcome brickie good news about scan and morning sickness. Fingers crossed this is the one for you.

Tori wonderful news so happy for you! Welcome newbies. Will catch up on thread properly but just to say OH also struggled to engage with the pregnancy this time. A couple of good scans made all the difference though and it started to feel real to him. Just self preservation I think

Awwww fantastic news tori. I'm so pleased for you. Huge congratulations xxx it would be so lovely to meet you properly (IRL) at the various baby groups etc in the city and surrounding villages!

Tori he is gorgeous. I remember when we used to talk on the miscarriage boards about what we'd been through, our hopes and fears. it's so great to see you come out the other side

This calls for another stats update. Would any of the newbies like to be added?

smallbear could you change my due date to 26th November please ? Thank you ! :)

Congratulations Tori, what a darling baby!

Despite feeling like admitting I am pregnant will completely jinx the whole thing, yes,thesmallbear, please put me on the stats list Gumblossom, ttc 5 years, 5DK's, due Jan 12th 2016

It seems my new pattern is to have no boob soreness when I wake up (today at 3:30 am, thanks very much ), but it slowly gets worse all day, till they hurt quite a bit when I take my bra off in the evening. The sickness isn't too bad, quite mild (famous last words, right?) but it seems I have to eat non-stop to keep it at bay. I feel like I have already put on tonnes of weight, I am actually scared to step on the scales. My tummy is so bloated most days I look to be 5 months pregnant, and I am struggling to hide it. I suppose it doesn't help that I've had a total of 10 pregnancies (5 kids), so my uterus probably balloons very readily, though I think it is the 5 or 6 mini meals a day that may be causing the issue. BTW, I read that magnesium really helps with morning sickness, so I am using a spray which apparently helps with absorption - maybe that's also helping?

I was in the supermarket yesterday (needed more food didn't I? ) and for the first time since the BFP,saw a little baby, and really looked at it and thought,"maybe I will get one of those this time". Then I berated myself for getting too invested. I'm trying really hard to distance myself from it so as to lessen the disappointment if it doesn't work out, but I ought to know better as nothing will lessen the heartache,will it?

I went to a yoga class and despite doing it for years, found it very hard. I felt quite sick with certain positions and also found I trembled a lot holding other positions.My balance wasn't great either. I was just glad to lie down for the meditation bit at the end. I was tempted to talk to the instructor about being pregnant, but I didn't feel I could as I still haven't told DH that I am pregnant . There are many reasons why I haven't, but I want to wait a bit longer, to be sure there might be a chance of it working out. I think I may tell him after my Drs appointment. After his reactions to the miscarriages (not at all good, and really distanced himself from me - was very tough time) I just want to hang back a bit.

Can I please be added to the stats smallbear? Not sure what you need but I think this is everything - teeniedeenie, age 35, 0 DC, 1 MC, Booking Appt 17th Jun, Scan TBC, EDD 29th Jan 2016, Location Dundee, Scotland. Thank you in advance

gum ur symptoms sound very similar to how mine were. its only taken me to get to 18wks to really be sure my boobs are different on a morning to a night too i was never sick? felt quite sick at times but like u eating something soon sorted it out. lucozade was a life saver on the bad days! i also had a bump much earlier than i thought i would (only 2nd pregnancy but it was 6 wks after erpc) but i had actually lost weight at my 16wk appointment.

popped to dms last night and she said omg ur going to have a 10lber look at the size of u

Congratulations Tori, he's adorable!! Hope you recover quickly...

How charming gingerbread! I'm another one who looks at least 5 months pregnant most days due to bloating, even though I'm only 11 weeks today and have put on about 1kg so far.

Managed to catch another cold off DD, just in time for our holiday tomorrow - typical! At least we're only going to stay with my folks so I can rest and let my mum look after me... just need to get through a 4am start tomorrow morning, gah!

Congratulations, tori! I don't have to tell you that he is gorgeous Hope you are all recovering from the ordeal.

gum Eating is the only thing that helps me keep the nausea at bay, and it has to be stodgy carbs and/or fat. Desperately trying to keep the weight gain under control, I really don't want to end up 3 stone heavier, like I did with DS!
Never heard of magnesium helping with morning sickness. How do you use the spray? I find that sipping small amounts of cold water helps me (sometimes).

I am still spotting, it is most noticeable in the mornings, I think due to lying down overnight and then getting the 'pooled' amount when I go to the loo first thing in the morning (I never have to go during the night). It's not enough for a pad, I just use pantyliners. During the day, it all dies down again... It's really unnerving me!
Right, need to go and chase the midwives about my booking appointment - they were meant to ring me to re-schedule, but I've heard nothing yet

gum (and anyone else suffering from sickness), have you tried sipping tonic water? It really helped me. I was sick for 26 weeks and it was one of the only things I could keep down at times. Don't go crazy on it but maybe give it a try? Also, re yoga, pls do tell your instructor you're pg because he will adapt certain movements for you. When you're past 14 weeks, you can join pg yoga classes
