Plenty of chocolate and support all round - #5 posifrickintive thread for those pregnant after miscarriage

[Treaclepie19]

for those who feel well enough to eat it :)

Bumble - I started the heparin from BFP, but my situation is different, I'm not taking it because of the mcs, but because I had a DVT a few years ago.
I think most of those who take it due to their mcs usually have a location scan around 4-6 weeks to check if the pg is in the right place and then start it.

Thanks cloud. Yes I'm meant to get a scan first (as per coventry protocol) but feeling anxious that my local scan won't be sorted til 6-7 weeks which feels too late. I'm going to call Coventry and see what they say. I'm only managing to be 'calm' for a couple of days then start getting anxious about the next step...

Relieved to say that baby has been thumping me almost consistently since last night. Phew. He must have been just having a sleepy afternoon. He's also much much lower - I'm 36wks on Saturday does that mean he might be 'engaged' or moving into position for birth!?

little, big sighs of relief for you! Exciting that lo could be getting into position too. When was your last mw appt? It should say how/if engaged you were on your notes - if you weren't engaged, it'd say "free".

Question for you: is anyone on here a migraine sufferer? Have you found that they have improved or got worse with this pregnancy?

I am nouser and I've always found my migraines worse during pregnancy. As could have been predicted they are pretty bad just now (started at about 10 weeks I reckon)

Hey all, welcome to the world baby Mhairi, the most beautiful little girl :). Giving birth really chuffing hurts but is worth every little bit :).

Hi Nouser I am a migraine sufferer and for the first trimester I REALLY suffered. I had them weekly and they were lasting 2-3 days, often putting me to bed for 18+ hours at a time. I have had them since I was a kid but have become so used to relying on triptan tablets that it had been a long time since I had 'rode one out' with only paracetomol.

The good news is though that I haven't had a headache since about 18 weeks and before that they started to ease. Now I don't even get them when I would normally have got one pre-pregnancy. It is like a little migraine holiday! I am hoping it lasts until I stop BF but they might come back as soon as I deliver . I am now 33 weeks.

BOOZLE!!! how amazeballs! congratulations! I hope I am not being stoopid but how do you pronounce her name? a bit like 'Mary'? Anyway YAY FOR YOU!

Oh wow, congratulations boozle! I guess those pains last night weren't Braxton Hicks!

brickie sorry to hear they are bad for you. Can i ask what your triggers are? Ive had them since i was small but noticed as i got older that i could link them to my cycle. Had a bad one the day i got my bfp but then nothing until Tuesday where i got crippled for 24 hours which has now got me feeling a bit paranoid. Its interesting that you said you are struggling a bit at 10 weeks with them, im 10+1 today, i wonder if theres a hormone surge that goes on at this time?

boozle just coz I want to say it again on another thread, congratulations

Oh wow, congratulations boozle!

It's pronounced mar-ree- it means most wanted and loved child :) xx

Well, today the spotting seems to have gone away overnight, instead of getting worse or redder. Whew. I think I'll still be terrified for, oh, the next 33 weeks...but I have made it another day...and I'm as of 4 days ago more pregnant than I've ever been.

And omg, congrats, Boozle! A friend of mine also gave birth yesterday, it must have been a great day for babies.

Many congrats Boozle, I don't mind that you jumped ahead of me in the queue What a beautiful name with a beautiful meaning.

Hehe, apparently I said at one point last night "this can't be real labour, it's not my turn!"

Boozle was she born today? Just so I have the date for the stats. And her weight if you want that adding.

Yey for boozle and welcome little Mhairi! Xxx

Congratulations boozle
nouser yes, it's hormone related and due to hcg dropping and progesterone rising. Also if you are carrying a boy they start producing testosterone soon which could be an influence. I've had one of each and my migraines were worse with my son.

congrats boozle, lovely name for a lovely little girl. hope you are making the most of newborn snuggles!

She was :) and she weighed 8lb 9.5oz :)

Boozle LOVE the name and the meaning is so lovely. You have made me smile on a really pants day (work stuff.... bump is the least of my worries today.... for once)
Brickie and Nouser My mum had no migraines at ALL with my brothers and horrific ones all the way through with me..... I am having a girl and they were only horrific at the beginning. Migraines are so weird. Medical professionals don't even know the ins and outs of them.
