More cake for more babies... BFP after MC

[Cakelaur]

Here we go ladies...

@Patienceofatoddler I'm the same with early scans usually and yet I'm having to resist getting on. The fear of miscarrying again without seeing that little blob first is hard to deal with. On my scan when I had the MC there was nothing left to see so I'm really scared that will happen again. Not that an early scan would prevent it. Only 7weeks to go though til my nhs scan...

@Alicejj8x yep, totally normal.

Congratulations @Patienceofatoddler

Did/does anyone just not ‘feel’ pregnant? I’m 8+2 and only have very slight symptoms (slightly sore boobs and a little bit of nausea but they come and go) but I don’t feel pregnant, no stretching feeling or cramping or any ‘sense’ of being pregnant. Is this normal when bean is the actual size of a bean or did some of you actually feel different when pregnant?

@Patienceofatoddler lovely pic! 😍

My nipples are all of a sudden on 🔥 today!!! Ouch!!

@rdm10
Ahh I'm 8+2 aswell!

I feel
The same if I hadn't seen a heart beat Wednesday I would think something was wrong due to symptoms decreasing

Around
8 weeks they say the placenta takes over so that's possibly why symptoms have faded

I do have some symptoms
On and off but nothing major. So
I am
Sure it's jist that

Have you had any scans?

@rdm10 I'm 7+6 so not far behind and feel the same way. I feel tired and have been getting a bit light-headed but generally feel very normal. My boob pain comes and goes but it's pretty mild.

Waiting anxiously for my letter to confirm my scan appointment now! Seems like it's the norm from these threads. 🤞🏻

@rdm10 the only thing I had really was nausea. (Oh and the tiredness) This turned to vomiting occasionally around 8 weeks and turned to every meal around 10 weeks until 16weeks. That was the only symptom I had. Now I'm 18weeks I don't have many symptoms except tiredness. I have a bit of a bump now too. Once I got to 12 weeks I started playing with the doppler. So I know now baby is there! Haha.

I had barely a thing! Just was tired. When I went to the 12 week scan I was beside myself in the waiting room expecting there to be nothing there. When I lay down, I covered my face with my hands and held my breath. Baby was there, also covering it's face with it's hands! I'm still in shock and I'm 17 weeks now haha. Lack of symptoms was not a sign of a problem in my case x

@Cakelaur HOW addictive is the doppler? Love hearing that galloping sound!

Hey does anyone know what this might be, I have a sharp pain in my right side just before pelvis bone almost like where your ovaries will be , and when I went for a wee it really hurt , now it's still sore ? Should I be worrying

@leanne9312 I'd get checked out for a uti Hun, very common when pg.

@HidCat yea good point thank you x

@Athers666 have you found out boy or girl yet?? Mines defo a bit more like a train. Be interesting to see if horse is girl and train is boy in our cases. (As the wives tale suggests)

Oh, not heard that theory before!
Don't know the sex yet, may find out at the 20 week scan in august though, eek!

I completely forgot to check up on mumsnet, I can’t habe been that busy. How is everyone

@Cakelaur @Athers666 I'm using that theory to back up my idea that I'm having another boy.. heard heartbeat at 16 week appt on Friday and it wasn't very fast (though thankfully quite strong!).

Had a bit of a time digesting the specialist midwife appointment - long story short, the hospital where I had my son hadn't sent notes over so they had no info on the complications with him / no notice of recommendation of c section for this one. Midwife was lovely but definitely leaning towards the 'you should try for a natural birth' which I can appreciate but goes against what I was told after having my son! They've said it's my choice and growth of this baby will be monitored, but I did feel a bit upset that there wasn't any documentation to back up what I was saying.

@kaytees so mine is around 155/160 when active and around 145-155 when sleepy. I can't feel baby yet. But around lunch time baby is always slower and early evening baby is faster. Can't wait to feel movements and can't wait to find out the sex... in 5 months!! Ahhhhh!! 🙈

Thanks for the reassurance ladies.
@Alicejj8x I had a scan last week and saw a heartbeat but I saw one last time so didn’t really reassure me that much. I have another one at 9 weeks so keeping my fingers crossed for then.

@Cakelaur really regretting not recording the heartbeat / buying a Doppler now! I am SO close to booking a gender scan for this afternoon... so much for my 'maybe I won't find out this time' casualness ha. I admire you for sticking to your guns and waiting!

@kaytees it's the best thing I bought. I prob use it too often but I do it because I want to hear baby rather than for reassurance. But it makes my heart melt every time. Can wait to feel baby kick (I'll prob stop using it then)
Eek how exciting for your gender scan if you book it. I'm not massively strong.. I'm trying in every way to secretly find out. (Heartbeats/nubs/Ramzi) hahaha! My OH want to be the one to tell me at birth. And it's the only thing he's insisted on. So I have to give him something.

The doppler is very reassuring I agree! I am getting regular movement now which feels amazing, but I still have a quick listen once a day, can't help myself. The movement feels like worms wriggling, it's weird, but it's deffo getting very slightly stronger and more regular now. I found the first trimester hell as I was so anxious all the time but I'm now feeling a little bit more relaxed. Not much, but a little!

I'm feeling so overwhelmed. I can't take all the medical professionals.

My GP is impossible to get through to as his secretary is a real meanie. The nurse at the surgery told me to speak to the GP about my blood test results but I just couldn't face the secretary.

My community midwife is not the most organised, she is lovely in person but she keeps texting me and they don't always make sense. This morning she text to check I was taking asprin, I said yes, then she asked if I was taking a blood thinning injection?! Erm, no, didn't decide to self medicate!!!

I have an ante-natal appointment on wed which midwife says is with a consultant but it does not say that on the letter

I have a scan on thursday, I'll be 17+5 and it says it is a nuchal dating scan?!!!

I want to disengage. Work management are hostile too. I thought I felt baby mid week but nothing since.

My uterus has defo got bigger though so hopefully baby is ok.

Ahh why do I feel
Ok I'm 8 +4 today and I feel
Fresh as anything
Symptoms all cleared up! Saw HB and baby on
Scan last Wednesday and all
Ok but I am
Just really worrying now

@Alicejj8x don't worry too much babe. Some people don't have sickness and things. My little sister is 6 weeks behind me, and you would even know she was pregnant. She's dancing around like a fairy with no symptoms. And I'm vomiting and nauseous and can't eat and tired. She barely has a bump, I look like a whale!! 😂 so every pregnancy is different. Just count yourself one of the lucky ones. 😉

@peachesarenom I'm sorry all the medical people are a bit useless. Defo question your nuchal scan? You had one around 12weeks right? Take it as an extra scan! Whoop!! And defo correct your midwife. It's funny I have zero contact with mine at all. The odd letter but certainly no direct contact. I have to organise myself! Haha

Might of missed it but has anyone been feeling baby ? I've been feeling kicks since 16 weeks !!

I'm 18 on Wednesday ...
