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

So weird I can see my belly moving up and down loads but can't feel it.... had this happened to you ? @BS9790

When did everyone put their next to me crib up? X

@AlviesMam, I don't see my belly moving much now as the moments have got smaller. However I can only feel most movements by putting my hand on my bump, can't feel them at all otherwise.

I've been up worrying most of the night as he's not moving much again! I make my belly sore I spend so much time with my hand pushed against it trying to feel any movement!

My snuzpod is built, but not in our room yet 😊

@AlviesMam we put ours up last time the weekend before I was due, so only about 5 days or so early.

I think will do the same this time, even of the babies come early my partner can set them up while I'm in hospital, though is nice to put the sheets you want on, mattress protector ect yourself. I never think to early is good though as it gathers dust and can get in the way but you are fairly far along so could do it anytime you feel ready from now ☺️

@ChampooPapi, my husband can't be trusted to build furniture without supervision haha!! We put ours up a few weeks ago so that the dog is used to it. Must admit it's become a dumping ground for clean washing and my hospital notes 🙈

@BS9790 I am exactly the same always pushing on my stomach to make her move and my stomach gets sore!

@ChampooPapi yeah I think I'll wait maybe another week. My mattress protector isn't here until 2.11.20 (my due date lol) is a mattress protector urgent ? Just in case she's here before that is lol. X

@AlviesMam if your planning on having her directly on the sheet on top of the mattress it is pretty essential to have something in between for the posseting or general leakage. Though you obviously know that because you've brought one, you may want to grab another so you can get in on a few days sooner just in case, but also because they are so useful for nappy changes or even feeding, especially the more natural ones. They are always useful layer for potty training as well and can be folded and used in Moses baskets.

eBay always have loads second hand, especially the little green sheep ones, and as they are flat sheet style of they are a little small or big for the next to me it really doesn't matter

@AlviesMam 👍

Omg @AlviesMam the pumpkins 🤣 I won’t unsee that! Amazing really! Not long for you now so exciting!
@SunnySideUp2020 ah your wedding is so close! How exciting! And a scan to look forward to as well 😀 I’m debating booking a private scan maybe for next week as it’s DHs birthday and I’m pretty desperate to find out the sex of the baby! I don’t know where my patience has gone!

Ladies can anyone recommend a good body moisturiser for my growing bump? I have quite a lot of stretch marks from my last baby but want to avoid getting many more if possible!

@scrumdiddly123 I’ve been using a combo of Burts Bees Mama Bee oil (morning and usually afternoon too) and the Neals Yard Mothers Balm at night before bed. So far I don’t have any stretch marks at 28 weeks... 🤞🏻

@scrumdiddly123 I use Palmer's cocoa butter stretch mark cream in the morning and good old bio oil at night!! When I have a bath I also put a few drops of bio oil in it. Another one with no stretch marks at 28 weeks 👍🏻 although if I manage to get away with not getting any with twins I'll be pretty gobsmacked!!

@scrumdiddly123
I ordered burts bee mamma butter over two weeks ago and haven't received it...
So in the meantime i use this oil that my SIL got me.

Smells lovely and easy to use but she s German so got it there... not sure if it can be ordered.

And only started using the past week so can't say if it's working or not...

Honestly go for the scan if you can afford it. It's such a relief 😌
I can't wait for tomorrow.

We’re just back from our 3D scan! It was SO
amazing to see her little face. She is SO CUTE!! Really can’t wait to meet her now and squish those little cheeks ❤️

Hello what do you think of these 2 tests I took this morning?

Oh my goodness @TerribleImagination how adorable!! 💞

@TerribleImagination
Omg she is soooo cute indeed!!!
The images are so clear 😍

Oh my god @TerribleImagination ! She looks so incredible! Those images are really clear, adorable 🥰🥰

Wow @TerribleImagination!!! She's perfect!!! What amazing clear images too. You're making me want to have one done! 😍

@MilsCookie me too!

Thanks loves! 🥰 I highly recommend getting one done. It’s not cheap, I think ours was £109, but you get all the images (we got 30!) and a video of the scan too. It was well worth the money, just to see her cute little face! ❤️

@TerribleImagination that is the most gorgeous scan!! Amazing detail, definitely pictures to treasure😊
