Staying posifrickentive- Thread 12 for ladies pg after mc

[LynseyH]

New thread.... nice to see it filling up so quickly.

I wish my gain over the first trimester were that small... I've put on nearly a stone with all the cap I've been eating to combat nausea. Also not been able to face fruit or veg which hasn't helped!

Cheese, I'm also on cyclogest. Ants, I think we may still be date buddies... I'm 13 weeks tomorrow.

We are telling our DD that she will be a big sister in Sunday, via an early birthday present for her birthday on Monday - a big sister to be sash and a framed scan photo. DM will be there, as will MIL and FIL who we haven't announced to yet. Looking forward to DDs reaction, but frankly not looking forward to anyone else knowing. MIL in particular will drop some clanger about how she knew it was all meant to be in the end. Would quite like nit to tell anyone at all till baby is here safe, but as I'm already looking decidedly bus sized that isn't going to happen!

Aw net I hope it goes well for you, what a lovely way for your little one to find out.
Hope the in laws behave.

Need some help please!
Does anyone else get the 'hot flashes'? I haven't had one for ages but then this morning I went to the loo and as I was sat there I got stupidly hot. Wasn't straining or anything, only a wee! My whole body went sweaty, my head was spinning and I felt sick. I got off the loo, and quickly got on sofa, tried fanning myself whilst stripping off anything unnecessary! Question is, if you get them, how do you cope?? I know it only lasts a short amount of time but I find them quite scary and I think my panic maybe makes it worse I feel really drained now so just laying on sofa.

Hi ladies,
I hope you don't mind me stopping by. I have been following these posts with interest for the last few days - trying to calm my inner crazy. I had my BFP on Sunday (TTC for 15 months following mc at 7 weeks, early last year) according to LMP I'm currently 5w+6.
I've now turned into a total psycho, despite trying to embrace the 'que sera sera' mentality - I'm spending far too much on tests, just so I can can keep reassuring myself that I've not just made it up 😂
Can anybody offer me any distraction tactics to hopefully see me through to 12weeks!
Congratulations to all those expecting and baby dust for those in the same boat as me!

Hya ladies, I hate those hot flushes Lyns, with me the only thing that helps is a fan or fresh air, you should get your BP checked as when my bloody pressure was really low that's when they happened the most too me, really scary!
I know how I feel net, just my oh and my bestie knows and I keep giving myself dates of when I might tell people, my latest idea is after my G scan on the 8th, but I'm already thinking well my 18-20wk scan should be between the end of Nov and begin of Dec so maybe I'll wait till then lol
I don't know why I'm so hesitant, well I kind of do but I'm surprised I'm still feeling this way.
I'm just starting to feel uncomfortable sleeping on my belly so that's a bit of bummer but the bonus of that is the last 2 times I've used my Doppler I've found the HB quite quickly and I think I'm feeling bits's & bobs obs only light little, 'was that something?' Type stuff but I don't think it's my imagination lol

Welcome to the newbies, if only I knew of anything that could help through this most nerve wrecking of times I'd be a superstar! But no, all I did was keep doing FRERs every 3. Days to see the line darken until the line couldn't get any stronger then I rang the EPU lol
It's all so scary xxx

So had my scan today and got the sonographer to turn the screen off, but baby had a heartbeat so she quickly turned it back on.
Baby is only measuring at 9 weeks (I must have taken a test at day 1, to be so far out with my dates, but at least I get another scan in 3 weeks! And we have a healthy baby in there

That's amazing sah well done xx

ThTs great news sah! How far along did you think you were?

2nd early scan today - wanted to get one over 8 weeks when the % success goes to 98%!

Happy to say all was well and I'm 8+3

That's a really lovely little scan Mrs xx

Thanks Bec, so happy! X

Congratulations mrspage!

Fantastic news on the scans mrs and sah!!!

I wish we had a little window so we could check in on our little ones xx

I saw an advert for a program on universal his evening "true genius" they had a iPad held it against a bump and saw the baby inside.
I appreciate this is TV but how much did I want one of those!!!

Sah I don't think i would ever put it down!! This pregnancy has made me wish I was a sonographer so I could do myself a scan every day!

My 4d scan was ment to be Friday but we changed it for other family to be able to come. It's now tomorrow. Stupidly excited!

Hello! after yesterday's shock bfp where I said I wouldn't join any pregnant type threads for a while, I have the urge to talk about it. I had a mc in jan16 so am absolutely terrified this time round. I'm an old fart who camps out in the over 40s threads.
I just want to put it in writing how scared I am that this could go tits up. Edd1/2 July

Bloop we have all been there. I had mmc in January and I'm now 27+3. Good luck, and feel free to rant/chat away!

Congrats on the scans sah and mrspage!! Excellent news.

Hope scan went well today blossom

Welcome baby and bloop and congrats!

I rang today to book an early private scan as we're now almost a week past last time but turns out they only do Wednesday mornings! Wish they said that on the website but it didn't specify. No way I can get this weds morning off short notice and I've already got next Monday off for my booking appointment so don't really want to take the weds off too. Plus I've only got 1 day holiday left at work which I am saving for nhs dating scan so was hoping they'd do evening appointments. The only other place near (ish) is 45 mins away and do Monday eves only. Fully booked tonight and next Monday so I don't know whether to bother for the Monday after, feels like there's not much point spending the money so close to nhs one. And it's now I want reassurance that everything is still ok.

I thought I was 12 weeks so really far out. I did think that my morning/all day sickness was over but I've had 3 bouts today. It's awful! And getting worse x

Lovely scan news sah and mrspage

My 6 week scan is tomorrow morning, should be exactly 6 weeks so I'm hoping there will be a heartbeat, soooo nervous

Welcome bloop and congrats. We all know how you feel... it's terrifying! I had a MC in March and now 14+6... still petrified! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!
Welcome baby too! I was the same for the first 12 weeks... I googled everything!! I would say try not to as much as you can!

Lovely scan news MrsP... sorry I'm just catching up! Sah so pleased for you too!!

Good luck tomorrow Alb will be thinking of you.

I can't seem to hide my bump much any more and I'm only 14+6! I also can stop touching my belly!!

Enjoy your 4D scan tomorrow Lynsey, it's good to read you're excited :-) I'm 26 weeks today, only another 2 weeks until mine! Good to read other people's good news too, I'm still reading but posting less as all is going well with me and fairly uneventful x

How annoying for you Moonlight, could you not get Wed am off if you said it was for an urgent medical appointment? Or, confide in a manager in order to get the time off?

Good luck tomorrow Alb

I'm having a bit of a wobble this evening. I've been starting to feel excited over the last few weeks, feeling baby move, looking pregnant has made me feel positive. I even spent the day getting some things ready for baby's room and washing some second hand clothes. However, I see threads on here about late miscarriages and stillbirths and lots in the news today about premature babies and now I'm feeling like there's so much that could still go wrong... I've also been having some dreams/nightmares about my ERPC recently so things are getting to me. Sorry for the rant, needed to get it off my chest.

I hope everyone is doing well and lovely news about successful scans.

I only had a few days after my positive scan to enjoy my PG because yesterday I was rung by the hospital and I have a very high chance of DS. I'm shattered. I just wanted to get past the 12week scan and hadn't even thought to worry about anything else after that. I'm having tests if I want them on Wednesday. I just don't know what to do and I've gone back to pretending I'm not pregnant, not letting my DP mention it, not talking to bump, etc. I'm only 32 and just wanted a straight forward pregnancy. I was thinking about telling my friends this week but now won't so that's another happy plan ruined.
