@Workingmama1 I didn’t know Olbas oil is not allowed, whoops! I thought it was just similar to menthol! TBH I’ve not had a cold since before lockdown started back in March so I’ve kind of forgotten everything!

Morning everyone!

@Furbabymum15 How’re you doing? What time is your scan at? Thinking of you xx

@ew1990 Please don’t apologise for sharing your worries with us - that’s what we’re here for and I think we’ve all been in the same boat. I’m up and down myself, with positive thoughts and negative thoughts. It’s like deep down I think everything is ok but I won’t let myself admit that and then I wonder if that positivity is just hope rather than a ‘feeling’ that all is ok. I’m struggling to imagine getting a baby at the end of all of this but I think that’s probably my mind protecting me after last time?! Your tiredness is a good sign and I have no idea how you’re doing it with another little one, I’ve basically been useless the last 12 weeks or so!

@PhotoMum4 Sending love, the sickness sounds awful. I don’t know much about it but have read there are a few different tablets the doctor can try so might be worth seeing if another works any better?

I’ve had so much more energy the last couple of days, almost feeling like myself again, and think it’s because I’ve had early nights. However, last night I got engrossed in a film and then didn’t get to bed until gone midnight and I woke up super early so all of that energy has gone, am shattered! Can only blame myself, so frustrating. Overall though, my symptoms to seem to be decreasing somewhat but it’s not worrying me too much as it seems to be quite gradual and I’m 12 weeks now so quite normal too, I believe.

Hope everyone else is doing well and has nice plans for the extra day off! I have none at all but am quite pleased about it ☺️

Morning. I’ve just got to get stuff done that I’ve put off all weekend due to being lazy 😅 dreaded food shop being one of them 😕 I feel the same way @SkyBlue20 has described, I don’t think I’ve ever feel
confident, I will worry throughout. Hopefully after first trimester if I get that far I can get excited and sort out baby clothes etc. My friends donated neutral things to me years ago and they are bagged up needing a wash. I was holding on last time to get them out but unfortunately that didn’t happen. Really hoping I get that far this time. Would be so sweet to see baby clothes drying on the rack ❤️ That’s one thing that would make it feel more real for me xx

@SkyBlue20 my scan is at 10.15................thankyou all for thinking of me I will keep you posted xx

Hope it goes okay @Furbabymum15 xxx

@Furbabymum15 🙏🏻❤️

Good luck @Furbabymum15 💕

Thankyou all for you're thoughts and best wishes..... I have been scanned and it's looking like another miscarriage. There's nothing in there except a collapsed sac and a lot of blood. Xx

Oh, @Furbabymum15, I am so sorry 💕 Sending you lots of love and strength - it’s an absolutely awful thing to happen. You can get through this. Lots of love xxx

@Furbabymum15 I'm so sorry to read this news, please look after yourself and take the time you need to deal with this loss. I hope you have loads of support around you today xx

@Furbabymum15 so sorry 😔 nobody should have to go through and definitely not more than once. Keep trying, don’t give up xxxx

So sorry @Furbabymum15 😞 look after yourself xx

@furbabymum15 so sorry. Look after yourself ❤❤

@Furbabymum15 so sorry, take care of yourself. 💕💕

@Furbabymum15 How awful, I can’t imagine what you’re going through 😢 thinking of you xx

@Furbabymum15 I'm so sorry! Life can be really cruel at times. I really hope you have great support around you ❤

@ew1990 how're you feeling about tomorrow?!

@bubblybon20 @ew1990 good luck for your scans tomorrow. Are you both feeling OK? I'm looking forward to seeing your pics and having 2 more official due dates ❤

@DanceM1 Thankyou lovely! I'm actually really nervous.. it's just over a week since my private one.. but I think the nhs ones always make me so much more anxious 😫😫😫

@bubblybon20 @dancem1 I'm so nervous. I cant eat and feel like I'm going to be sick with nerves. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep tonight 😞

@ew1990 I know how you feel.. it's crazy! Just hope everything still good in there for us both! 🤞🏻

@bubblybon20 and @ew1990 best of luck for tomorrow, what time are your scans?

I’m trying lemon sherbets today and seem to be helping! Been feeling a bit rough last few days xx

I'm so, so sorry @Furbabymum15, how awful. I hope you can find the strength needed to carry on trying.

Thank you for all the suggestions, had a steamy bath and put a drop of peppermint on the top of my nose, seems to be working quite well. Haven't been sick today anyway...

I think @bubblybon20 is about 9am? Mines 13:10 so not majorly late in the day.

@bubblybon20 @ew1990 I felt exactly the same before mine... i felt sick with nerves. I am sure all will go well for both of you and I'm glad you don't have to wait too long!

I've had a few moments of panic this week since we told people that something will go wrong to spoil it and I just wouldn't cope. @SkyBlue20 I think I have moments of feeling very much like you described! On the flip side, I'm letting myself look forward to having a baby now and talking about it much more. I think thats what then worries me.... as if I am jinxing things somehow.🙈
