[SayItIsntSo1]

I couldn't see a new thread.

Hope you all find this one ok!

I'm sorry folks, this is it for me. Fingers crossed I'll be back in a few months.

In the meantime, best of luck to you all xxx

So sorry Willow. Look after yourself and hope to see you back again very soon.

So sorry Willow - sending my best wishes.

willow look after yourself and hope to see you here soon

oh no Willow. I am so sorry. I hope you are back soon and for longer.

So sorry willow. 💐

I've had a week of feeling positive. In my mmc the baby stopped developing around 9+4. I'm just reaching the 8 week mark. I thought being close to that date would be terrifying. But I am thinking that the chances of it happening so late twice in a row has to be really unlikely, right?! I have a private scan on Wednesday evening, so we shall see then if things are looking ok.

@WillowCloud so sorry Hun, take care of yourself.

Hope everyone else is ok this morning.
I've been awake all night in agony with tooth ache! Was sitting in the garden at 2.30am listening to the neighbours budgie talking to itself...

Oh no Willow I'm so sorry

Any of you lovely ladies further along in your pregnancies - when did you first start to feel baby move? I haven't even given it a second thought until today, with my first pregnancy I didn't feel any movement til after 20 weeks and I'm only just over 16 weeks now, but I've seen things online that say you're more likely to feel baby earlier if it's your second pregnancy or if it's multiples - which it is both for me!! It's just one of those little nagging thoughts that has started to make me feel really anxious!

@mammabear4 I started to feel my twins (1st preg) around 17 weeks, with my dd's it was around the same but this time I felt no definitive movements until 19-20 weeks but that is because of the placenta being high and anterior.
Sil felt one of my nephews move around 17 weeks but not the other until way over 20 weeks because of the placenta being in the way too. That was her 5th pregnancy. I think it varies quite a lot

mama I started to feel DS at around 18 weeks. agree that it varies a lot, especially if you have an anterior placenta. I'm sure you'll begin to get those flutters very soon!

So sorry willow xx

So sorry willow, I hope we see you back here soon. Take care of yourself.

Re movements, I didn't feel dd until gone 20wks as I had an anterior placenta so seemed to skip the early fluttery feelings. This pregnancy I felt things on and off from about 16 weeks but I have anterior placenta again so it was a good few weeks until I was certain it was movement. Now his movements move my whole stomach and I think he somersaults between head up and head down still (31wks Monday).

I bought the first couple of things for my hospital bag/post birth the last couple of days. First buys were nipple cream, breast pads and some fybogel to help the post birth poos! Oh the glamour!

Hi everyone - haven't read the 25 pages of this popular thread! There must be many of us !
I'm 42 and pregnant for the third time in 3 years - 2 MMCs at around 7-8 weeks - no hb was detected. Had a reassurance scan at 7+3 and all was in order. Can't help but be paranoid with my history and age. Hope it's all going well for everyone else here.
I'm also on March 2018 due date thread (all being well .. )

Hey @rider1975 I'm on the March 2018 thread too. I wasn't going to join as last time I joined antenatal thread early and felt like I would be jinxing it, then told myself I was being utterly ridiculous and I'm glad I joined :) Fingers, toes and eyes crossed that everything goes smoothly for you this time :)

Sorry and much love to Willow :(

Hi all, looking for some hand holding. Had a bleed tonight, so phoned the midwife who told me to go to A&E. Went in and they just asked me a load of questions but then just seemed confused as to why i'd been sent there and told me to just go home and see what happens! So i'm now just in limbo wondering if I am miscarrying or not, and whether to go to work in the morning! My dating scan is Tuesday morning so I think I'll just have to keep an eye on the bleeding until then and hope for the best, but i'm not feeling too hopeful... i'm still bleeding at the moment, but not loads, so who knows what is going on

Hello may I join please? Firstly I just wanted to send my thoughts to willow I'm so sorry lovely xx I need advice/reassurance - I'm 5w1d due in March - I have ds 2 years - we lost two pregnancies before him at 4 and 9 week and two afterwards both at 3weeks (chemicals) I'm now pregnant again but panicking! I've booked a private early scan although we are skint ATM - for 8w4d so far pregnancy seems ok I can't stop checking that I'm bleeding though I'm terrified - did anyone have a gut feeling that their pregnancies were going to be unsuccessful/successful? I knew with ds it was going to be fine and this one well I do have that calmness whenever I panic but I'm still so worried- five of my friends are pregnant too (neither have history of mc) and all are due different times - I keep having this awful thought that I'll be the 1 in 3 again :(

halloumi that must be a worry, is it red blood, or browny in colour?
111 sent me to a and e when I had a miscarriage and a and e was useless... didn't know why I was there and did nothing.
I hope you have a bleed free night and it's nothing to worry about

Hallomisandwich - can you try to phone the epau in the morning? They are usually very good and will book you in for a scan x

Thanks ladies. It's red and there's been some clots, like a period, but no where near as much as my miscarriage. I put a pad on but it's barely even going on that ( although i am currently going to the loo every 10 mins to check!)
The A&E Dr spoke to a gyne who said as I have my scan booked for tues morning they won't get me in before then so I think I'll just have to sit tight and keep everything crossed tomorrow.

How scary, Halloumi - sending very best wishes. TBH I would ignore what the on call gynae said at A&E and go ahead and turn up at EPAU (if self referral) or call your mw first thing. You don't want to have to wait a whole extra day X

I hope it is all ok Halloumi. You must be so scared.

Hi and welcome Rider and Elley

So sorry for your scary experience halloumi and that A&E were not very helpful. And even more sorry that you're having to wait. Agree with pies, maybe you could phone your midwife this morning and explain what happened and maybe get yourself seen today.

Thinking of you today Halloumi and hoping it's nothing.

Welcome Rider and Elley.

Crammed hot train this morning had to ask for a seat and having to dash to make a connection. I think I'm at the point of finally cutting out my normal time commute. My DH is horrified at me running for trains at 31wks pregnant .

Here's hoping it's a good week for those having scans and generally navigating the emotional rollercoaster.
