[ChampooPapi]

Thread three 🙌

Thank you for your messages @chubbyhotchoc @pinktruffle @mummyshark97 and @restorationinsanity @firstbabybell. I feel like I'm losing all hope of bringing this baby home, but they're still figt6in there so we're just in limbo. Hopefully we'll know next steps towards answers tomorrow.

@nearlyamummyof3 what fabulous news, so glad everything went well and babies and doing well too! I bet you will enjoy the comfort of your own bed tonight!

@RunnerGirl123 my heart is hurting for you and your little one, is it such an uncertain and daunting time for you all. My son had a mass in his liver (discovered whilst I was pregnant) which was putting lots pressure on his heart, it's the scariest thing to hear. Sounds like they are very on the ball with you being seen by fetal medicine soon, I hope you and your partner lean on each other as much as you need to throughout this time and as PP said, we are all here if/when you need us💖 sending love x

@RunnerGirl123 thinking of you lovely, I hope that you get some information about next steps soon ❤️ Sending you love and hugs and as others have said - we’re all here for you xxx

@nearlyamummyof3 I’m so glad that you are all doing well. I hope that have been able to get home to your little boy. Rest up and take care xx

Hey @RunnerGirl123 I won't try to understand your individual journey but after yesterday I understand a bit of what you're going through! It's very strange limbo land. You are in my thoughts ❤️❤️
All my best to you and your baby 🥰🥰

Thanks so much for the messages everyone I'm very very sore but was a delight seeing my babies face when I came home. I'm still a bit in shock it all happened so quick OH is being very good so am resting up
Love to all ❤️😊

@Kj1010 @nearlyamummyof3 @lionsmum @teaandbiscuits123 thank you all, it is comforting to read all your messages. No call from hospital or FMC today, so hopefully will hear tomorrow.

@RunnerGirl123 so so sorry to hear what you’re going through. Hope you don’t have to wait too long.

@RunnerGirl123 so sorry about everything you are going through. You must be so worried. Thinking of you and your partner just now x

@RunnerGirl123 - I'm so sorry to come on the thread and see that: how stressful :-( thinking of you and I hope they are now quick to get you in to Fetal Medicine xx

@RunnerGirl123 I am devastated for you, just so sorry I've only just logged on to see what's been going on for you and your partner. I really hope you hear today what is going to happen, this must be absolute torture for you both, I'm just so sorry this is happening to you. Big hug to you, let us know when your able xx

@nearlyamummyof3 💞 take full advantage of resting, you need to fully recline for the time being, and thank goodness it's the weekend so maximum help with your little boy too

@RunnerGirl123 Im so sorry to see your post. I hope you get some answers soon and keeping everything crossed for you xx

Wow, what a roller coaster of emotions since I last read this thread. It goes to show what a range of journeys pregnancy take us on. I’m sending love and positive vibes to everyone on here, with a special mention today to @RunnerGirl123 ... stay strong x

Hey @ChampooPapi I relaxed all day yesterday was lovely.
I have to go to Liverpool today to view our house taking it very slow! Then will have OH whole family to look after son so will have weekend in bed!
But I want to transfer to Liverpool Women's ASAP as is so much better for antenatal.

Also I have a question for everyone and just wondering AIBA - the whole time I was in hospital and during the hour I waited to go to surgery and my scan - my midwife (specialised twin midwife) never came to see me once. I was scheduled to see her anyways that day and her room was 3 doors down from where I was being prepped for surgery. She hasn't phoned and didn't send any message! I was in her ward of the hospital for a good 3 hours and not even a wave... I'm getting quite angry that I still haven't heard anything from her - is this normal?

@RunnerGirl123 I am so sorry, I cannot imagine how you are feeling xx

This seems so trivial in comparison, I had a private scan yesterday & found out we are having another boy, so the nub whisperer got mine wrong too.

Congrats @kkr168 she's got a few wrong now! I wonder what @ChampooPapi predicted? 💙💙

@nearlyamummyof3 I don't think YABU about not being seen by her, it's very frustrating especially given the situation you found yourself in a few days ago! Were you being closely watched by consultant care or some alternative that possibly made her think that her input wasn't immediately required? Maybe give her the benefit of the doubt this time and see if her contact improves, fingers crossed it does!

@kkr168 huge congratulations on your boy💙

Thank you all, it's been comforting to share the news on here, I've only told one other person (other than OH) so it's nice to be able to talk about it.
I spent a lot of time in tears yesterday but today I've decided I need to continue to be strong and positive for this little one as there's still a chance everything may be OK. Plus I want to enjoy being pregnant as long as I can, as it's been such a journey to get here.

Congrats on the baby boy (sorry I've already forgotten your username since starting this message!).

@nearlyamummyof3 I'd be a little upset about that too, but don't dwell on it especially as you'll be moving and getting a new team soon.

@RunnerGirl123 do you have good family support?

@peachypetite I haven't told family yet, waiting to see if we hear anything today about what's next but will probably tell them over the weekend. They will be supportive and good to talk to but I feel like I know so little at this stage that I don't feel it's the right time to tell them, and they don't live close by so can't see them for face to face support. My friend who I've told lives around the corner so we're gona meet up and have a natter later.

@RunnerGirl123 I’m glad you have found sharing and talking about what’s going on in this group helpful and I’m sure talking some more with your friend later will be comforting too. We are all here any time you need to talk or tell someone how you are feeling during what must be a rollercoaster of emotions for you ❤️.

I have a question for the non-first time mums. I’m 18 weeks and haven’t felt any movement yet, my friend who is due the same day as me has felt her baby move. From what I’ve read I know it may be up until 24 weeks before I feel something.

Also when I had my scare last week and got a scan they told me my placenta was sitting at the front and I’ve read that that can mean it takes longer to feel the baby as it creates a barrier between the baby and my stomach.

So my question is when did you first feel your baby move and for those of you with placentas sitting at the front did it take longer?

So sorry @RunnerGirl123 to hear your news. Hope you’re in a better head space today. Will be thinking of you and keeping fingers crossed for you and baby ❤️

Congrats on another baby boy! 💙 seems we’ve got majority boys so far. Still got 2 weeks to wait on my gender scan and I’m so excited. Is it terrible to hope for a boy? I will be happy regardless of course.
Hope everyone is plodding along ok ❤️ I’m starting to feel very big now, think half of that is just because I feel so bloated tho 🤦🏻‍♀️ Doesn’t help that I’m constantly hungry now. Back is understandably killing me and my hair has gone from nice and glossy to unbearable frizz. Wondering when this pregnancy sweet spot will happen 😂

@NaomiB79 I have an anterior placenta this time & did last time too. I'm 16 weeks & haven't felt anything yet, I barely felt movements with my 1st pregnancy too unfortunately. Even at full term he did such tiny movements they could easily be missed, I had a tiny bump too, not sure if that was because I had an anterior placenta?

@NaomiB79 I had an anterior placenta last time and felt first movements just before 20 weeks. This time I don't know about the placenta yet but will ask them tomorrow at my private scan. No movements yet though (16+4).

@kkr168 thanks for sharing your experience that is helpful to know. On my previous scans my baby is moving lots so I’m not worried from that perspective but I understand that movement will reduce as they get bigger. I’m just worried if I can’t feel much then it gets more difficult to spot any changes in patterns of movement later on which my midwife said was important for me to pay attention to. Will just need to see how it goes.

@NatalieH2220 thanks for sharing your experience that’s good to know. Hopefully I’ll feel baby in a few weeks.
