Catching up - TTC After Miscarriage part 3

[BecsterG]

Hi Ladies, just setting up a new thread as we're almost at the end of the current one. Let's move over when it's full.

Xx

@SunnySideUp2020 yes I've got a scan on weds... my mum is coming with me to this one which I'm so happy about as DP can't come every week! How are you feeling about yours?

@Whiffle77 i actually laughed!!! It is not the greatest thing indeed but we should get the contract for the flat today 😊😊😊

@Ejb86 niceeee another little girl :) glad the scan went well!

@FireflyGirl hope your DS is ok. Not ideal right now 😕

@MilsCookie i have been counting down days and now starting to get nervous but been watching videos to know what to expect etc...
what time is yours?
Mine is 8:40 UK time.

@SunnySideUp2020 I was so nervous for mine as the last time I had a scan at that point I found out about the mmc. I don't think any of us will fully be able to relax after what we've been through, but hopefully you feel some comfort in that you've already had a scan and seen bean measuring nicely on track with a good hb 😊. At least it's nice and early for you as well so you don't have to hang around all day. Mine is at 9:45 so also a morning one. Will keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you and checking for your update! Try to distract yourself between now and then 😘

@MilsCookie thank you for your kind words 💕
Morning appointments are definitely better! Will also have everything crossed for you and your girls. It's good that your mum will be with you as well 😊

I was wondering if i should go with full bladder or not?
So far all mt scabs have been abdominal and i never had full bladder but i thought for 12w measurements it might be better? What do you think?

@SunnySideUp2020 I think the more full your bladder is the clearer the ultrasound image. So I'd try to hold it for an hour or so before hand if you can!! Will be thinking of you on Weds xxx

I went with a super full bladder and then they were over an hour late!! I ended up having to go for half a wee as I was worried i would wet myself as soon as they put the scanner on me!! 🙈
But yes they say have a full bladder, good luck

@Ejb86 aw congrats it's a little girl💕😊

@SunnySideUp2020 they never told me what to do before mine but I just didn't pee for a couple of hours before hand and drank couple glasses of water..wasn't dying to pee so wasn't uncomfortable and at least then could enjoy watching baby on the scan!
I was told to drink 2L before a general pelvic scan a few months ago (when not preg) and it was horrendous! I had to pee a small bit when I was waiting as I couldn't hold any longer which they werent happy about and when he was ultrasounding me it was sheer agony and I literally had beads of sweat on my face!! I barely made it to the bathroom at the end! I don't recommend going with a bladder that full😄

Best of luck to you and @MilsCookie for your Wednesday scans!xx

@Whiffle77 that sounds like it must be such a strange sensation feeling all that! I'm looking forward to feeling baby kick but it'll prob be a long while yet. I'm starting to feel better now thanks. Still vomit most mornings but it's definitely clearing faster in the day so 🤞the end is in sight!

@TerribleImagination 🎉🎉🎉for 24 weeks!! So good to hit those milestones😁

@FireflyGirl hope DS is feeling better and gets a negative test. 48 hr turn around is quite good so at least you don't have to wait too long.

Well i barely manage to drink 1.5l a day 😅
So i will go with the max i can hold and hope for the best...
Thanks :)

Hey guys more great news about on the thread! Loving the pic @MrsB16 and congratulations on the girl news @Ejb86 !!

34 weeks today and I've never felt kicks as strong as today. I'm sure I can actually grab her little foot when she pushes out on my sides!

In the process of speaking to head midwife at the hospital about my birthing partners so hoping I get some clarification soon 🤞🏼

A week today I break up from work to use 4 weeks holiday yay

@AlviesMam that's great you're feeling stronger kicks now, hopefully they're reassuring! Woohoo to finishing work! Gives you plenty of time to get ready for little girl 😊💗 xx

Hey @Ejb86 congratulations 💕 I'll update the list later with your girl news.

@SunnySideUp2020 arrhhhhh your scan is tomorrow! (Your like 'yes, I know woman!') 😆😬

I'm being really crap at the moment with catching up and responding so can I just send a blanket message to you all please, it's that I appreciate every one of you, think your all amazing and your all bloody fantastic 🙌

@MrsB16 gorgeous gorgeous photo, luxuriant in those newborn snuggles 🥰

Ooof I'm very jealous about you finishing work @AlviesMam! Im starting my handover at least which is good, just everything is so manic at the minute!
Hope you're ok @ChampooPapi

Hey guys! New here... how many of you got pg immediately after mc? My mister and I decided to start ttc 2 weeks after, 2 days before ov and on ov day etc after Dr ok'd. Anyone else done that or am I nuts? I posted in another group but saw it got moved to here, I think. Any help?

@ChampooPapi i know!!! The big day is finally here (well biggest day so far...)
Just need to sleep and then wake up and go.
Mix of anxiety and excitement 😊
Will keep you posted x

@Stina85 welcome!
The ttc after miscarriage is still on!!! It's the thread with the little dinosaurs

We have a few ladies Still n the ttc journey and it's a lovely lot :)

I started trying 2 weeks after but only conceived 7 months later.
Good luck x

@ChampooPapi you are amazing too 💖

@AlviesMam exciting about annual leave and finishing work! What will you be doing? Nesting ??😇

@SunnySideUp2020 thank you!!!

@SunnySideUp2020 good luck with your scan this morning.

@Stina85 welcome. We were going to start after I got a negative test but two weeks later I got my first period so it was the following month before we tried. We were very lucky to conceive again the second month and I'm now 39+4 weeks pregnant. Ekk Good luck to you.

Hi @Stina85 - same story as @BecsterG for me - I tried straight away but got my period, then got pregnant on the next ovulation. One thing I would say is that my first period was not fun buy I felt like my body really needed it - it was a big reset i think. So if you can bear to wait a period to help your body heal, i would - i know it isn't that easy mentally though!

Thats not the same story at all now I've reread it 🙈 ah well you know what I mean!
Did another big shop of baby stuff last night, and had a load of bits from my neighbour too so all of a sudden I feel slightly more prepared! Which is good...

@Whiffle77 ha ha similar. I found my first period really heavy and I wasn't expecting it as I presumed I'd ovulate roughly 2 weeks after my negative test (which took 3 weeks to get).

If you're ready then go for it as you've nothing to lose really.

Good luck for your scans @MilsCookie @SunnySideUp2020! Thinking of you both.
@Ejb86 that’s great news- congratulations 😍
@FireflyGirl has your sons test result come back yet? I developed a bad cold and persistent cough over the weekend so got tested Sunday evening and still waiting for results 🙄 so got all three kids and my husband stuck at home with me driving me mad! 🤣
Hope everyone else is ok 💖💙 xx

@Stina85 I fell pregnant immediately after my second miscarriage but unfortunately miscarried again. It then took me 4 cycles to conceive again and currently almost 12 weeks pregnant 🤞🏻🤞🏻 The pregnancy thread as mentioned is great, wishing you lots of luck x

@scrumdiddly123 we got the results yesterday afternoon, within 36 hours (negative, so I shoved him through the school gates this morning and have been trying to sort out a week's worth of stuff this morning).

Hope you get yours soon!

@Stina85 I had a MMC last summer, then a chemical in November, so we decided to have a break over Christmas (partly so I could have a drink, then I ended up on antibiotics for my wisdom teeth and couldn't drink anyway!!). Started trying again in the New Year and caught more or less straight away. I also had a MMC before DC1, and had a month's break afterwards before trying again.

If you feel up to it, go for it, there's no real reason not to. Good luck!
