Staying posifrickentive- Thread 10 for ladies pg after mc

[LynseyH5]

I've made the new thread, hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes... just wanted to make sure we had one.

Hi all, just popping in to say hello.
nasch my garden doesn't get shade either, which like you, I'd never usually complain about! I also find that I can't let myself get too hungry or it makes it harder to eat but that is getting better.

keys I am so pleased you've got this far! 35 wks is a huge achievement after all you have been through to keep little one in place.

Today I have braved the sun and tried my best to ignore the anxiety about germs and did some gardening. Also took my mind off the current situation with 'him'!. Garden just looks beautiful and I used long handed tools instead of getting right into it so only needed to wash my hands 100 times instead of a thousand I did all this whilst all 3 kids were home (did give in and order takeaway for tea) but did the day without a bit of help. Kids all worn out, fed, bathed and we're asleep by half 7...who needs a man!
So many scans this week, will be thinking of you all and eagerly awaiting updates!

Good luck for everyone with scans this week!! There are quite a few I think.

I had a nightmare about mine. Don't even want to write it down what happened. Put me in a funny mood all morning. I still can't believe I'm pregnant really.

How is everyone else on this sweltering day? Xx

Wednesday scan for me!

Poor you with the bad dream 😞 Try not to let it worry you. I know it's hard as literally EVERYTHING is a worry but I bet it's just your anxiety working itself out 🙂

I'm feeling rather anxious today myself. Tomorrow marks the day that I miscarried in my last pregnancy (and it's my birthday!!) and with the discharge (gross) I am petrified I'm going that way again. Time will tell and my DP is doing his best to keep me upbeat with some pretty wrapped up presents left in full view for me but I just want tomorrow to be over. If I don't wake up poorly I will try enjoy the day however!
Xx

Eek getting major scan-xiety here. 50/50 between excited and scared. I've looked up stats on chances of finding a problem at my 12 wk scan tomorrow and it looks like there's a 98% chance things will show as fine, but my emotions are less convinced. I'm the same as you butterfly and skipped the early scans, although I was offered one I thought it would just add anxiety. My positive frame on tomorrow is that at least I'll know much more about my pregnancy than I do today, and the 12 week wait to find out will have closure.

lynsey you'll be such a strong role model of resilience for your children

Good luck for those with scans this week.

I've had tons of discharge too Lottie, been making me paranoid.

I woke up with a tiny, tiny bit of bleed yesterday morning but nothing since & still the extreme tiredness & nausea. Heat is not helping.
I don't know if it was down to sex tmi so told OH it's off until after a scan.

My doctor could refer me to EPU but I didn't want a scan before 8 weeks. Plus I think if it's going to happen it's going to happen.
Midwife is a week Friday & on the 1st I'll ring the recurrent miscarriage clinic to sort out my August appointment to see if it still goes ahead.

Hope everything works out for you Lynsey.

Lottie happy birthday.

Lottie happy birthday for tomorrow! And it is so anxiety-inducing, all of this, but hold onto the fact that your HCG is high and rising. That is a great sign. Your fella sounds wonderful!! Hope you manage to have some sort of a birthday.

GOOD LUCK for tomorrow Lucky. Will be thinking about you! I remember when we were both on the TTC after MC thread. IT doesn't feel two minutes ago! I hope you have a brilliantly healthy scan.

How many weeks are you dinosaur?? The blood sounds like it could be sex-related? Good for you for still doing it! I feel so totally unattractive at the moment!

xx

Happy birthday for tomorrow lottie

How is everyone coping in this heat? I am usually a sun worshipper but I cannot stand it!! Nearly passed out at my little ones nursery today but thankfully after some cold water I was ok to get home. Felt incredibly sick too which with being on the cyclizine hasn't been such an issue recently.

Happy birthday Lottie for tomorrow! Sorry read it & didn't register.

I'm 7 weeks on Thursday, hahaha I know but definitely not anymore. DP thought it might be. There's been nothing since & I crashed at 9pm last night & had ketchup sandwiches 2 days in a row so that's positive. When's your scan?

This heat is unbearable, I'm actually looking forward to DS's swimming lesson tomorrow.

Argh stressed stressed stressed. My guts have turned to water and am having to make multiple urgent loo dashes. I'm willing my baby to be a) alive b) appropriately sized c) with brain please

Butterfly and Mac, will be thinking of you for your scans today. Everything crossed for Good Days for both of you.

Good luck today butterfly and macauley

Sounds like your nerves have kicked in big time butterfly. Stomachs always seem to play you up when you need it least.

Good luck butterfly mac & lucky. I'll have everything crossed for you all. It's going to be fine, I know it. Xxx

Good luck today butterfly and lucky.

Thanks everyone. Getting the nerves now will just have to drink far too much again so needing to pee takes my mind off everything else!

Sorry I missed you lucky! Good luck xx

Good luck with the scans today! Butterfly I am exactly the same pre scan, and any stress and my ibs starts up.

Tinkly my DH has his twatty days too. And some good days. Just hoping he pulls it out of the bag when he needs to

sunday in this house the IBS is referred to as the gift that keeps on giving How are you coping in the heat? I am in just vest and pants in the house with the curtains at the front (south facing) all drawn. Still very warm!

Good luck vibes also to Mac and Lucky, sorry, I was too busy being hysterical first thing to remember that.

Hope your 16 weeker goes well tinkly, and don't feel guilty that you're in an easy zone, enjoy it! Sorry your DH is being a bit of a twat.

Looking on the brightside, at least I can escape the hottest part of the day by being in an air conditoned car & hospital

Good luck everyone with scans today, I'm sure it will be fine.

That's a good way to look at it Butterfly.

Morning sickness has hit with a vengeance this morning, squash is helping but got swimming & hope I don't puke in the pool.

But I'm happy it's a good sign even if I want to stick my head down the toilet all day.

Hmmm our local hospital is like a greenhouse in hot weather butterfly but hopefully if they're running on time you shouldn't be there too long! Am sunning my cankles in the garden but may retreat inside soon. Me + sun + factor 50 still equals sunburn!

I feel your pain sunday. Fair skinned + freckles here. I can burn in cloudy weather in March. I ought to have some early lunch now but I feel very weird of stomach.

Good luck to all with scans, and good luck generally to the rest of us 🙂

Thank you for birthday wishes! No drama yet, I'm slowly calming down as the day progresses! ☺️

One baby, live and looking normal! They've dated me 13+1 rather than the 12+2 from my dates, which has slightly thrown a spanner in the works with the nuchal scan & bloods I'm meant to be having done by the fetal consultant next Tues as will be alledgedly over 14 weeks by then... So, got another scan on Thurs this week now for that, and then when the consultant gets back off holiday he will look at the scans and decide if he still wants to see me next week or not! Met my ob consultant and she seems very nice. Back in 3 weeks to see her again for my 16 week appointment.

My head is thumping like mad after all that stress!

lucky and mac I hope yours have gone/are going well x

Yeah congratulations!!!!! Amazing news butterfly. So pleased xx
