I'm absolutely over the moon after a MC in May.
Bring on the April Babies!

Hope so! Got early scan on wed so everything crossed that might settle my mind a bit !! Least the pain isn’t sustained and associated with bleeding as that would be more worrying I think, maybe this is normal 💁🏼‍♀️

@PrincessConsuela12 just don't get the non alcoholic gins that are in Asda. I treated myself and paid £18 for a posh bottle that said to drink with tonic and grapefruit. Oh my god it was revolting 🤢

MrsG3 · 26/08/2019 19:13

Not cramps as such but will be 7 weeks tomorrow and today I feel like I'm carrying a bowling ball in my pelvis! Not pain really but pressure is getting really uncomfortable 😣 anyone else has this? Not something I remember having with my other 2 so unsure whether to ring anyone...

namechange244 · 26/08/2019 19:14

I've had no more spotting thankfully and did a clear blue today and still saying 3 plus weeks so feeling slightly more positive

Also looking for nice drinks.. all the non alcoholic wines I've tried have been vile.

Sainsbury's sparking is ok as is nosecco ..

Becks blue too

Was tempted by those gins @nomorewinedayfriday so glad I didn't fork out!

Pip231018 · 26/08/2019 19:18

@MrsG3 Yep. I have a dull ache in my uterus. I've googled it, all seems normal. I've got a sore lower back too. I just touched it and it was painful, it's like a muscle pain. Also very very dizzy. X

MrsG3 · 26/08/2019 19:22

Thanks @Pip231018 I feel a bit better now. Yes an ache is definitely the best word to describe it rather than a pain. Maybe we both need to put our feet up tonight lol

PrincessConsuela12 · 26/08/2019 19:38

@nomorewinedayfriday Thank you for the heads up! I love gin & grapefruit so I might've got it.

I've got some 'red wine' to make a sangria with next weekend, I'm hoping it's not awful

Moonstone12 · 26/08/2019 20:17

I can't find any alcohol free wine that I like 😢however I have found Fentimens Rose Lemonade which is bloody delicious. And in a wine glass it almost feels like I'm not missing out 😂

@Nikkinoodle84 I've tagged you in the thread 😊
Yeah mine so too, it's awful isn't it. It's my main symptom but I do occasionally feel a bit sick (haven't been sick though). I'm also really tied and dread going back to work next week!

eskimod · 26/08/2019 20:35

@poopatroop @CEM29
In earlier weeks I used to always get a cramp that kind of felt like period pains. Now I'm 9+5 and I get it sometimes but I also sometimes get a sharp pain. I'm just hoping it's stretching etc? I have my booking appointment in thurs but I'm getting impatient for my 12 week scan! I just want to see a heart beat now!

eskimod · 26/08/2019 20:40

@PrincessConsuela12 @Moonstone12 @nomorewinedayfriday

I got some nanny state brew dog non alcohol beer and thought it was blue at first but soon went off it! 🤢
I got a sparkling no alcohol Sauvignon Blanc from Asda which was ok.
I also bought the gin... it wasn't the same but I could manage drinking it with tonic.
I used to live coffee but I've gone off that! Never thought I'd see the day!
I'm just drinking lots of squash at the moment...

Sorbfsiabs · 26/08/2019 20:54

Ladies I used to post here when the thread first started, I was helping to add people to the secret Facebook group - but then got some bad news at a scan and left.

We went back a week later, and my dull monochrome fetal pole gained a heartbeat and red/blue! I still can't quite believe it,

I wanted to post this update, but also to say that I'm able to add anyone to the group if they PM me their Facebook profile.

A couple of the other ladies from the group have also posted the same ,but me doing the same hopefully spreads out the work :)

PrincessConsuela12 · 26/08/2019 21:15

@eskimod I love a coffee but limiting myself, I think that's why I suffered with headaches for a week or so.

Another question - did anyone else get nosebleeds? Due to my cold I'm blowing my nose quite a bit and getting a little blood 😟

PrincessConsuela12 · 26/08/2019 21:16

@Sorbfsiabs Goodness, what a rollercoaster for you! Fantastic news, so pleased for you!

eskimod · 26/08/2019 21:33

@Sorbfsiabs
Oh wow! Sorry you went through that but what an amazing surprise! Congratulations!
How far were you? X

PurpleViolin · 26/08/2019 21:46

@Sorbfsiabs wow so happy for you. I was lurking when that happened. Amazing. X

I am 5+3 by my lmp dates. edd 24th.

Had early scan due to previous mcs all looked good but no heartbeat yet - too early to see one though.

Feeling brave enough to post now.

MooMummy12 · 26/08/2019 23:19

@Sorbfsiabs so happy to hear that! ThanksThanks

biggreensmoothie · 27/08/2019 00:12

@Sorbfsiabs so happy to hear that! You must have been on an emotional roller coaster over the last week - sorry you had to go through that but glad you got such a positive outcome.

biggreensmoothie · 27/08/2019 00:14

@Sorbfsiabs will definitely be joining the Facebook group when I hit the 12 week mark!!

ellarosee · 27/08/2019 07:25

@Sorbfsiabs that's wonderful news I'm so pleased for you!

@PurpleViolin we are due date buddies! Well for now anyway. I'm 5+4 today due on 24th but I know that will likely change when I go for my scan. Are you planning on having an early scan? X

Sorbfsiabs · 27/08/2019 07:38

I'm only 7 weeks now, it feels like I've been pregnant forever

Totally understand people wanting to wait, just given one of us a shout whenever you're ready :) x

MrsG3 · 27/08/2019 08:09

@Sorbfsiabs so pleased everything turned out ok for you 💕

Sussexbythesea84 · 27/08/2019 13:40

How is everyone doing now? Anyone still getting aches and pains?

My boobs are the size of melons and I’m only 6 weeks. Second time round for me so everything stretched from last time

LokiCat · 27/08/2019 16:35

@Sorbfsiabs that's amazing news! That must have been such a rollercoaster of emotions but I'm glad it turned out positive in the end 💕

BristolBear · 27/08/2019 16:52

@Sorbfsiabs that is fantastic news, so good to have you back Flowers

See you on that Facebook group after my 12 week scan.
