Tough decision grain. Sending you lots of positive vibes and cuddles.

Such a tough decision grain you should feel proud of yourself for doing what's right for your little family. Thinking of you and hope that everything goes well for you for the rest of your pregnancy. I'm sure there's every chance that it will all be perfect!

Thanks everyone. Not even a decision I knew existed until we saw the consultant after our scan. Don't even know if you had given me this scenario on paper 6 months ago I would have anticipated this decision.

Agree with everyone else, what a heartbreakingly difficult decision to make. Nobody can judge until they have been in your shoes. Crossing everything that your pregnancy continues healthily and safely grainmum.

On holiday so catching up slowly.

Purple he's beautiful! Congrats again! Try not to beat yourself up over breastfeeding. I'd like to do it but have already told myself it's okay if I can't, have seen friends go through really stress with it so don't want to put that on myself at a difficult time anyway.

Ants sorry to hear that, it must be so worrying but I hope they give you some answers soon.

Grain sorry you've had to go through that, must have been tough but I can understand.

Olivers - thank you for sharing your experience. I tried latching him on today just so he doesn't lose the association / forget. Wasn't successful but didn't expect it to be really.

Been expressing every 2 hours today and I'm getting 50ml each time on average. As people suggested hopefully we can get him off the formula top up at least.

Got the breastfeeding clinic tomorrow where they will assess him. Fingers crossed they put through a referral and it comes through quick!

So sorry grain, how brave you must be. Wishing you all the best going forward.

Hope everyone else is keeping ok x

Oh ants that sounds very worrysome for you, really hope you get good news at your next appointment.

Fingers crossed for you grain that what must have been very tough brings the one grakn safely to you.

Thaf reminds me fuzzy I need to sort my whooping cough jab.

Going to allow myself to buy some maternity clothes now too, tights and a work skirt anyway (ooh how thrilling).
I was going to tell work when I got in today after the scan but there was hardly anyone in and not my closest colleagues so ended up not saying anything, bump still kind of hidden by big floppy scarf.

Hope everyone whose symptoms are yoyoing are doing ok and congrats and welcome to the newbies.

I had a lovely conversation with my granny earlier who is 97 today and I'm feeling pretty good. She's amazing and so jolly and positive it's infectious.

That's good you've got clinic tomorrow purple, hopefully things will move quickly to sort the tongue tie from here. And well done on expressing, that sounds like good amounts.

Hope clinic went well Purple and you got some good support.

I am feeling a bit odd today. I can't believe I can be growing a tiny human but have no real certainty it's there. The big boobs, stomach and tiredness mean nothing in terms of reassurance. Hopefully someone knows what I'm on about and I'm not waffling on making no sense... I think it's second trimester disbelief and hopefully nothing more sinister .

I cant wait to get to secent tri i have had hardly any symptoms at all im now 10+3 and again woke up this morning no symptoms and even my mild abdominal pain has stopped and now im in panic mode again!

I hav 1 twin stopped growing at 7 weeks but twin 1 looked good in the scan last tuesday i have under 2 weeks till 12 weeks scan im hanging on in there xx

Congratulations purple - he is gorgeous!! Breast feeding is hard, it didn't work out for me with DD and I really beat myself up about it. This time round I am much more relaxed about it all. Just do what's best for you and your LO. Glad you are going to the clinic, hope they give you plenty of advice and support and it starts to get easier for you.

grain what a tough decision you've had to make. I sincerely hope everything else now goes smoothly for you.

say I know what you mean - I understand. I have second tri disbelief and confusion. I'm just hoping against hope everything is ok. I have my 16 week appointment tomorrow and am going to beg them to listen for a heartbeat. I'm taking my mum too so she can look after DD but also so she can support me as I'm a barrel of nerves and so scared they will just dismiss me and tell me to wait until my 20 week scan which is still a good 3 and a bit weeks away. Hopefully once we start to feel movement we will have some reassurance.

Oh corrinax the first tri is just awful. Hope the time goes quickly for your 12 week scan so you get some reassurance for a bit.

I know what you mean say, it's very hard to believe it's real. Even now I feel movements and I've seen baby again I still feel quite detached.

Symptoms do tend to drop off around 10 weeks corrinax so try not to read too much into that (easy to say I know!).

pooch I hope your 16wk apt is better ghan mine was- literally a quick in n out 10min apt with not "my" midwife, didn't get a chance to ask anything and virtually scooted out the door. Was crap and not the reassuring chat I'd hoped for.

I started to feel little movements at 17 weeks and was certain of them by 18, so you might not be far away.

Hi all,

I hope everyone is doing well. I haven't posted since my bad news from the scan last week. I went for my follow up and miraculously, the bean was still there, measuring as it should with a great heartbeat and yolk sac not enlarged!
I'm so pleased! Remaining cautious until the 12 week scan, but yayyy! Now to catch up with the thread.

Excellent news july, really pleased for you. Goes to show there's always hope

imgonna - thanks for warning me re the appointment, I shall go prepared to be manhandled out the door. I can't remember what happened at this one when I was pregnant with DD, but I saw the community midwives with that pregnancy and this time round I'm having to go to the hospital for my appointments. I thought I maybe felt something last night but could have been wishful thinking!!

july that is such good news and it's lovely to hear a positive outcome.

That's ok pooch, how did it go? A friend warned me and I was glad she did else I wiuld have been disappointed. All my midwife apts were rubbish with DD as I saw a different one every time and none of them seemed very interested. Was hoping for better this time as I felt very neglected in that pregnancy but am not getting hopes up too much!

I've been having horrible aches all through my lower abdomen and back and feeling I need the loo all the time today so rather uncomfortable.

Still haven't told colleagues, don't really know how to bring it up!

I've got my booking appointment on 6th April. I kinda don't know how to feel.

I've been plagued with negative thoughts about my mmc. My baby died at 8-9 weeks but the miscarriage didn't happen until 13 weeks. I don't understand why my body behaved like it was still ok, my bump was getting bigger, and I was tired, oh so tired.

I'm trying to see this time as I a completely different experience but I am holding back on being happy

Sock

Quickie here, but I had similar to you and phoned mat unit to ask when 12w scan was, then explained my situation (prev mmc, agonising eventual expulsion) and they booked me in for a scan at 9w to see if there was a heartbeat or not.

Ask midwife unit at your hosp for an early scan. My lot were ace

@TheLegendOfBeans thank you so much!!! I will definitely do that! And mention it to the midwife at my booking appointment

july that's great news!

sock it's such a hard time just try to focus on one day at a time and you will get there.

We had a scan today, the little grain looks fine. However as I was walking to the appointment I had a bit of a gush of what seems to be liquor. The assumption is that it's from one of the other grains as the liquor volume on scan looked fine. Just when yesterday I was feeling more positive and actually thinking about questions to ask about later in the pregnancy.... next scan 2 weeks.

Just as an aside noticed that the app has updated and I can now put new paragraphs in my posts, yay!

So today is officially six weeks and I am still feeling pretty pregnant. It was six weeks that I miscarried before (first thing in the morning) so feeling quite relived after my morning wee today!

Boob soreness has returned with avengence from yesterday and the last three days have seen some really vivid and odd dreams. I only occasionally remember dreams so this is very odd. Last nights was particularly unsettling as it was of very inappropriate goings on with my very hot colleague and mentor!!!

Feel like I've reached such a big milestone although acutely aware of how early days it still is. Next milestone - scan on Wednesday.

Good news on the check on grain although it must have been distressing with the discharge. I hope you can take comfort in knowing you did the right thing for all the Grain family.

Good news on the scan Grain. How far along are you now?

How did your appointment go Little? I have my 16 week one when I'm 15+2 and am hoping I can convince my mw to try and find the heartbeat.

Sounds like everything is going well Ginger.. I know what you mean about milestones. I feel like we've had a few and the 12wk scan was a big one. I'm already setting myself more though, which may not be helpful

I've booked a scan for next Monday. I'll be 14 weeks and just want some extra reassurance. I've been telling myself I should just wait until the 20 wk scan, but I'm going to go with whatever I want to do rather than always telling myself what I 'should' do.

Morning all, I am a returner to this thread.
I am 42
3mcs
1 medical termination
1 DD 22 months old
Was diagnosed with low thyroid. Successful pregnancy was natural conception.

I was going to hang up my ovaries permanently after holiday in a couple of weeks, but poas this am and I am pregnant.

Not quite sure how I feel. I do know this is the last time I will be pregnant and I also know my history means there is a high chance this may not work out. But I also cant help that little excitement growing about what having another might be like. We were so lucky to have one gorgeous perfect child I feel a bit like I am tempting fate going again, but I would so much love her to have a sibling.

Haven't read much of the thread, but I hope you are all well and getting as good support as I have had from this site in the past.
