Staying posifrickentive- Thread 9 for ladies pg after mc

[sundayraspberry]

Right that wasn't so hard! Let's hope everyone finds us still

Morning everyone, scan went well Lil Diddy is measuring bang on 8+1, we saw a heartbeat and we both cried, a lot.

I've been given the go ahead to sort out my booking appointment and I finally feel like a proper pregnant woman, rather than some mentally tortured soul who is pretending. Think colleagues will think I'm odd for being so happy after the week I've had.

Congrats mimi

No sex just now here either. If he moved me at all id probably be sick. Feel bad about this as I know he wants me but he totally understands why. I find myself getting more and more attracted to him though so not sure how long it'll be once the sickness passes!

Great news mimi a huge relief for you
I'm very much same as macauley. I'm avoiding it due to thinking I'll throw up if we try anything. Partner very frustrated but is being fairly patient. I feel awful but just feel totally unable.... In my previous healthy pregnancies I found myself wanting get it a lot more in the later stages whereas partner goes off it then

thanks ladies, going this evening. not sure what they will advise...
glad the scan went well mimi x

charlotte so sorry it's not as you hoped. I would agree with everyone else to see your GP and get this recorded. Take care.

mimi thrilled that you have seen a live & healthy one, esp after going through so many losses. Sounds like you've been through the mill this last week, I'm glad your mum is expected to be alright. It sounds exhausting and hugely stressful.

lynsey I'm glad the cyclizine is helping, that's great. Hopefully getting some food and fluids back in you will perk you up a bit over the next couple of days. Sleep when you can!

When's booking tinkly?

Sex, hmm, we have had it twice since I got pregnant, one of those before sickness kicked in. Mainly I feel too sick to contemplate it in the evenings, which is my worst time. Unfortunately he's at work during all day, or DD is here, as I would actually be quite up for it in the mornings! Sure we'll make up for it in a few weeks though when I feel better, DH very much looks forward to my pregnancy libido Shame it then disappears completely when breastfeeding. Poor DH, that was a long 4 years...

Congrats Mimi!! Glad Im not the only one in a sex drought. Im making much more of an effort to try and do other things though to keep everything ticking over. Last time we had no contact at all and then when I miscarried sex became very scary to me. I dont want that to happen again.

Well went to the doctors he didn't say much just referred me for a blood test tomorrow morning to check hcg and my general health..x

I hope your holding up ok charlotte been thinking about you today

Thank you I'll be ok have my moments.. x

Well after feeling nauseous and the occasional vomit I have just absolutely spewed my guts up. I am honestly not complaining - I know what some of you ladies have been through and my sickness doesn't even come close. It's just scary because I was so sick with the baby I lost but only nauseous with my dd. I'm 10 weeks today according to the early scan and hoping to be scanned again in about a week. I know I shouldn't wish time away but I do wish I could fast forward out of the uncertain stage! Hope you are all doing well ladies! X

Thanks everyone, is it OK that I'm a bit freaked out by the idea that a little person is growing inside me 😳. I know I should have wrapped my head around this by my 4th pregnancy, but it's just been a bit of an abstract idea until now.

Blood and urine done let's see what comes back on Thursday... not sure what I'm thinking. I know I am not pregnant now my boobs are not hurting at all. Bleeding isn't so heavy now. Not sure when to try again...😢

Urgh whatser sounds grim, poor you. Hope it was an isolated occurance! I know just what you mean about wanting to fast forward a bit please. I'm sure the first trimester is really about 8 months long. Certainly feels like it.

I know what you mean mimi. It is just bizarre really. The movement is weird too in a "there is someone wriggling inside me ?!" sort of way. Most odd. DH said he looked away (up to my face) at the crucial point that DD crowned and was born and says to this day he has no idea how the hell that happened. I mean, just how can they possibly fit back out!? He suspects the midwives of having a baby hidden under the bed that they whisk out quickly. I wish! My smarting nether regions would have infinitely preferred that...

Take it easy Charlotte. It's so physically and emotionally draining. Hope you can get some rest over the next few days.

charlotte just take your time and do things when the time is right for you. It took me about a month for my body to feel ok and I remember being intimate again was a bit scary but fine after the first time. With trying again only you can answer that for when you feel ready. I didn't feel ready to try again and was going to wait till after my due date but fate has a funny way of intervening.

Hey all,

Charlotte, I hope you're doing ok. Look after yourself

So.... I have another introduction to make to the thread. Most people seem to have a lovely looking baby laying on their back during scans. Mine wasn't having any of it and refused to move despite being sent away and coming back for a second scan. So I have a comical looking picture of my baby in a sky diving pose. All healthy and fine - I cried so much!!

Woohoo for another healthy baby on the thread! Congrats double. Was that your 12 week scan?

Dh has got one of his mates staying over tonight. Hoping he doesn't spray man deodorant around liberally like last time... I was lying retching into my pillow

butterfly dh spent about three ours scrubbing and bleaching the house to within an inch of its life yesterday because I told him I couldn't cope with how it smells any more. I don't think it does smell but he bleached the bins, emptied and washed the fridge, scrubbed the oven - everything he could think of. Tell your dh to crack on although I think my dh wasn't being a saint but just fed up of me refusing to set foot in the kitchen!!

tinkly have you been given a scan date? I've been given my next midwife appointment (28th july) and scan date (22nd aug)

Im having a real wobble today. Should be 10+1 but my boobs feel different. They have been agony over the last couple of weeks and now they hurt much less. I have this pit of dread in my stomach that I cant put my finger on. I really hate this. :(

Sorry - I should have said congrats Carrick - that is a lovely pic!!

whatser my boobs are a lot different this last couple of weeks. My nipples are less sensitive and they feel less heavy, somehow. Don't panic, it might not mean anything xx x x although i was also panicked
