I have no other tags can you add please

@EmzG20 You might be better off buying some clothes a size or two larger than normal to tide you over until you get a bump. You will likely need them after the birth until you return to your normal size so it won't be a waste of money. Maternity clothes look a bit strange without a bump.

Try ebay as obviously maternity clothes are only worn for about 6 months!

I need to buy new maternity clothes as this baby is due at completely the opposite time of year to when my son was born. I liked JoJo Maman Bebe, Asos, Seraphine, supermarkets for basics last time. I can't wear maternity jeans/trousers as none of the over the bump ones fit me (the band was always in the wrong place) so will be living in leggings/tights and tunics/dresses.

Triage nurse just phoned I'm gonna be booked in for a scan! Just waiting on a call to know when! Fingers crossed everything is good! Just started dry heaving so maybe that's a good sign 😂

@chloxhunt that’s good news! I was dry heaving at 2 am. Few and far between but like you hoping it’s a good sign.

@chloxhunt that's good that they are going to book you in for scan and check you over.
Fingers crossed you don't have to wait to long.

@EmzG20 yeah I know! It's at 14:45 today so it was done quickly!

@Oldermum80 ahh it weird I didn't feel
Sick it just happened lol! Wishing us both luck!!

Got my 12 week scan date now -,that's a relief!

11th of September.

I'm so nervous for his scan wish me luck guys

@chloxhunt that's great that it's today.

@EmzG20 yeah I know! Ahhh every time I go through something I always see 11:11 I always say it means that everything's going to be okay to me lol

Best of luck @chloxhunt!

@ValidUser thank you! I keep almost being sick this morning so I want to say that's a good sign but we will see

@chloxhunt let us know how you get on.
We will be thinking of you

Good luck @chloxhunt xx

@Oldermum80 yay at the dry heaving!
I dry heaved for about 30 seconds this morning so also taking that as a good sign.

Anyone else had an early scan and measure 1 week+ smaller than expected? The midwife/sonographer don't seem bothered but I'm worried!

I'm exactly 12 weeks today, got my 12 week scan tomorrow. I'm a bit apprehensive but I had a scan at 8 weeks and everything was fine so hopefully, it's still in there! I miscarried at 7 weeks in May so I have been far more paranoid than I was with my other children. I held my breath a little at the start of the 12 week scan before they spun the screen around with my other children but I wasn't really worried, apart from that moment, I just assumed it would be fine. I wish that's how I was this time! I think the fact I'm 36 now which is when they say all the risks etc start to increase has upped my worries.

@Oldermum80 almost threw my food up oh dear

@DSP21 @EmzG20 thank you!! I'll let you guys know! I'm really anxious about it

@NoGinNotComingIn oh my gosh i feel exactly like you. I have my 12 week scan on Thursday and the days are going so slowly.

I had a scan at 7 and 8 weeks and it was in there floating around with its like heartbeat but I too had a miscarriage in may at around 8/9 weeks (although I've been bleeding for weeks before it actually happened)

Like you I was apprehensive at my scan with my son but by no means was I frightened. But right now I'm terrified ill get there and something will be wrong. I don't know how to shake this anxiety. I've tried to talk to my partner about it but he tells me not to worry and I just want to vent how im feeling without feeling silly.

I hope your scan goes well and look forward to your update tomorrow :) xxx

@Anonymom31 Yeah my husband is the same, he points out my morning sickness made a return last week after disappearing at 8 weeks (luckily a few days before the scan, so I knew I hadn't miscarried. When I did miscarry my sickness stopped abruptly, I didn't actually think anything of it at the time only relief but I miscarried a few days later). I'm sure it is fine in there but there is a little nagging doubt. I don't think it helps I know 2 people who were pregnant with their 3rd in the past 12 months and they both got bad news at their 12 week scans having had 2 easy pregnancies and healthy babies.

I tried to talk to my close friends about how I feel yesterday but of the 3 people I have told only 1 has children so they don't really get it. I said I sometimes wonder if I used up all my luck with the first 2, pretty easy pregnancies and fairly easy births and 2 very healthy children at the end of it.

@chloxhunt good luck love xxx

@NoGinNotComingIn @Anonymom31

I'm in the same boat as you both. I had a miscarriage in April 2020 and have been really worried about this one.

I have had 3 scans already, two of the private as I started bleeding. Lucky everything was ok. I have a scan tomo (8 weeks) to see how baby is.

I have been have aches around my belly (think that's a good thing)

Keep us updated on ur scans

@NoGinNotComingIn I havnt really had any symptoms which makes things all the worst. My boobs hurt a little bit throughout but ive never had an "omg dont touch them" day like I did with my little boy.

With my MC I had sore boobs very early on. We tested 3 days before my period and it a defiantly positive but would have only put me at about 3 and a half weeks which was crazy as I didnt know it could come up that quickly. Then at roughly 5 and a half weeks I had nothing at all. Not one symptom. Then they all came back. Sadly though the scans kept confirming little to nothing inside and took 4 scans to confirm before I officially had the miscarriage. They confirmed it stopped growing at 5 weeks.

So this rime round (which was a shock so soon after the misscarriage) I had some spotting at 7 weeks and was sent straight to the EPU at my local hospital who confirmed babies size at 7 weeks and a heartbeat. I already had a viability scan booked at 8 weeks so I went for that too and again they confirmed it was growing.

I know what you mean with the nagging doubt. Its right there in my brain constantly.

We haven't told anyone this time around. We were excited last time and so we told people early like 6 weeks only to receive bad news and have to tell everyone it didn't work out. So we said we would keep it private till at least 12 and a half weeks. Fits in with our scan and when we can get to people to tell them. But thank goodness for this group. I tried to explain all this fear to my partner and he just doesn't understand what's going on in my head where as here I can find like minded people who know how im feeling even when I don't know how to explain it.

@Mandy0831 its so hard not getting worried after a miscarriage isn't it. I have aches every now and then. I had period pains for like weeks 4, 5 and 6 and they seemed to ease off then.

I hope all goes well at your 8 week scan tomorrow. Keep us updated too _

@JTB123 thank you! Getting really nervous now!

I'm a little panicked!! I just ate a yoghurt that goes out of date on the 20th August. I ate it and then noticed there was lots of mould around the top where the yoghurt itself congregates. I don't think it was in the part I actually ate? Will it harm me or the baby?
