First Time Pregnancy (5)

[mrsjkerry]

Hey everyone. Had to make a new thread as we were nearing 1000!

@Bobbiepin I have diarrhoea every single day. Almost the whole time I’ve been pregnant. Especially in the mornings!

@NC1990 I am also convinced baby’s bum is poking out on my right hand side. It gets painful actually sometimes I’m certain she’s going to appear through the skin!!

@MistyBxx as long as you feel something small most days you’re fine. I didn’t feel my baby at all until 25/26 weeks. You’re not supposed to movement count until later are you? They get into a pattern. Mine was always first thing in the morning and after I ate dinner. And even now I’m not ‘certain’ of the pattern.

@Missonhartbaby excited for you!!

I’ve attached my bump picture from last week. I think she’s grown since then!

@Missonhartbaby wow good luck! How exciting. Appreciate you sharing the sweep experience.
You could have your baby by the weekend 😍

@squigglefish I am always thirsty yet constantly dehydrated. I get through a litre of water over night, I just wake up needing a drink!

@missionhart that's so exciting, hopefully you'll be back soon to tell us baby is here!

Thanks girls!! I have a second sweep booked for Sunday if he's not here by then aswell so fingers crossed shouldn't be too long! Its odd because I so desperately want to have him now but then the thought of labour is super scary!!

Good luck @Missonhartbaby :)

Lovely bumps @ValentineFizz @Missonhartbaby

My mum likes to tell me how much my bum has grown as well this is 38 wks!

Loving the bump updates and photos girls, I think I will miss mine when baby arrives, I spend so much time rubbing it and talking to it!! 😂

@Missionhartbaby such exciting updates, l can't wait to hear how you get on 👍

@ValentineFizz I heard it’s quite common to miss your bump and also I like the feeling of tight stomach rather than big pile of flabbiness that will resume once baby is out lol!

I miss my bump like mad!! I keep putting my hand there then remembering he's already here, had a few phantom kicks as well!!

Hope you're all doing well ladies! I'm so bloody tired but still so in love with my little man!

Glad you had a good holiday @MistyBxx. Bad news here - still not pregnant, so I didn't get lucky like you . I was so hoping I would. Having to have hormone bloods done as my body is completely buggered since the Miscarriage. It's my birthday today, and I just want to sit and cry.

@Flatwhite31 to you. I wish you a healthy and happy year ahead and hoping that things start to go well for you, rather than a happy birthday for today xx

I agree with @lydiangel83 there's no point saying happy bday for today @Flatwhite31 chicky coz it's all a bit shitty 😖 I'm so sorry to hear your body has gone haywire after the mc, I have spoken to a few people who have said the same that it took a few months to settle back down to normal, so what happened to me catching so quickly after certainly isn't the norm I don't think. I had hoped it would happen for you too, but I'm so glad you're getting your hormone issue sorted first, hopefully they will give you some meds to regulate everything and that will give your body a new kickstart. I know it's really frustrating coz you've BEEN pregnant, you know it has happened once and you don't want to be waiting around for months and months for it to happen again, but take a deep breath, breath in the start of another year of your life and breath out what's happened and just believe chicky, really really believe it WILL happen coz it will! But you need to focus on you and your bod to make sure you're in tip top condition to house another little bod, so to speak. The tunnel is dark now I'm sure, but I've got massive hopes for you and I just know your light is coming! Just please be kind to yourself before anything else xxx

Hi ladies,
Can I join please?
I found out I was pregnant last Saturday after my first round of IVF. I'm 5w. I've had my hGC checked twice and all is going in the right direction so couldn't be happier. I am booked in for an early pregnancy scan on the 6th November.
It's still so early I'm terrified something will happen. Im now the same as any newly pregnant woman I suppose with all the same fears. Would be nice to talk to people who are in the same boat or have been earlier on in their pregnancy.
Thanks

@Scotslass01 you join every newly pregnant woman in worrying! It doesn’t stop to be honest. I try and just trust my body as nothing has gone wrong so far !

Mrsjkerry its going to be a long 9months ha. The road to get here wasn't the easiest so think I'm just worrying about everything. Feeling a bit crampy but being told it's normal but can't help but worry.
How far on are you?

Thanks @lydiangel83 and @MistyBxx. Lovely message @MistyBxx. I'm dreading my hormone blood test results, as I'm convinced something is wrong!

Hi all, getting a bit nervous. I've woken up today feeling ill, nausea is back and I've got an upset tummy. I was so uncomfortable last night, the weight of my tummy was making me feel worse and I had burning rib pain (mentioned to midwife last week and she wasn't really concerned)
I'm wondering if she's not too far away now and that gets me more nervous. 39 weeks on Wednesday so she could be any day now, I guess. Im supposed to be going out for lunch soon and I feel like junk.
Anyone else having days like this?

@flatwhite nothing I can say to offer any advice but thinking of you

@scotslass welcome to the worry club! 😄

First day of maternity leave for me today at 37+4 and was soooo glad not to have to get out of bed with the alarm this morning!

@squiggle hope you are doing ok, l think fear of the unknown is probably getting to us all at this stage....

Yes squiggle feel like this quite regularly....I’m 38 weeks now.

It’s not helped by the fact that I’m not sleeping well at all. A good night is waking every two hours to pee and then falling back to sleep; a bad night is laying awake for hours and then only getting three/fours of interrupted sleep 😕.

I’m being induced/ELCS the end of this week.....getting seriously scared now! Nine months has gone way to quickly lol 😂

Thanks both, I knew I'd not be alone but it does make you feel alone at times. Feeling much better now, think it was definitely a mixture of being uncomfortable and scared at the same time.
@THirdEeye i agree, the time has flown. I am not surprised you're so nervous!

@Squigglefish I think we are due date twins and I feel the same definitely. I also felt suddenly very nauseous last Friday but ok now and felt like that was the start of something! Don’t think it was though. I have had funny tummy/ loose bowels for weeks now and thought at first that it was clearing out but now I’m not so sure about that either! Kind of ready for it to happen now! I think I’ll never be ready so may as well just get it over with!

@lydiangel83 yes we are! Youre right, that's the way to look at it. They need to come out regardless.
I suppose if you think how big we are now it's no wonder we don't feel 100%.
I was turning over in bed (hundreds of times) and could feel the weight of this baby lurching. I've never felt her like that before and it made feel really woozy. So glad to be on maternity leave now.

@ValentineFizz I am also 37+4.
Had to go in for reduced movements today. First time ever; I just felt something wasn’t right. But everything is fine apparently.

Baby’s head was 1/5 engaged. This doesn’t seem much for nearly 38 weeks!?! anyone got any experience or knowledge on this?

@mrsjkerry I thought 1/5 engaged is almost fully engaged? I was 5/5 last week, which is almost still free.
