@jennyMY wow congratulations! Glad your both well 💙💙 he's beautiful

@sakura I can inbox you my phone number and we can set up a WhatsApp group?

@DanceM1 I, too, have been pregnant for most of the year - didn't get my MVA until mid-May and then found out I was pregnant again in early July, so basically just June of not being pregnant! It's so weird to think back to early last year and the pre-lockdown things we were doing and how I was pregnant then, don't you think?

@NI101 Sending so much strength, I hope you get answers soon xx

@Sakura54 I'm happy with WhatsApp or FB, either way ☺️ FB is good as each post is almost like a separate thread if that makes sense, so a bit easier to not get lost in but WhatsApp is convenient - whatever everyone prefers.
Exciting that you have your section date - and it's not long to go at all!! How're you feeling about it - relieved to have it booked in?

@JennyMY OH MY! Congratulations! Arthur is perfect, absolutely gorgeous! And look how well you look 🙂 Lots of love xx

Congratulations @JennyMy
He is perfect❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Enjoy the newborn snuggles!

I would be up for a Facebook page! Just let me know what people decide 🥰 xx

@JennyMY that nearly made me cry!! Congratulations! So happy for you!!! Crazy as well as at my growth scan on Tuesday they estimated baby's weight at 5lb 11oz so not far off your baby's weight. Crazy to think my baby is a real baby 🤣

@Sakura54 very exciting for you too!! Not long to wait 🥳

@Sakura54 @SkyBlue20 its crazy isn't it thinking back over the last year! We've come a long way but it's been a longggg journey.

I think this little one is a bit quieter today but has still been moving on and off throughout the day. Hoping they have a really good wriggle tonight or ill end up phoning triage just in case!

@JennyMY congratulations, he is gorgeous. Enjoy your beautiful bundle ❤️

Thanks everyone! It's surreal having him here! And he moves in exactly the same way I felt him in the womb - crazy feeling! I'm totally in baby heaven! 💙
I'd definitely be up for a FB page or WhatsApp group - can't wait to see all your precious babies arrive! ❤️xxx

@JennyMY congratulations! Your little one is so scrummy! Enjoy all the cuddles!

@Sakura54 I'd be up for a fb group! And amazing you've got a date now too x

@JennyMY congratulations 💕💕 so happy for you! He is absolutely gorgeous 🥰🥰 xx

I'm also up for a FB page 👍 I agree with @SkyBlue20 that it might be easier to not get lost in a FB page than in a WhatsApp?

Hope everyone is doing ok. I had a stressful situation with being exposed to a prolonged period of leaky anaesthetic gases at work yesterday (finishing on Monday thank goodness so I can try to avoid these situations completely but it was just a very unfortunate accident yesterday), I spoke to a consultant about it today and they weren't concerned, but baby was a bit quieter this morning....I'm fairly sure it was because she had just changed position but after yesterday I was more bothered so ended up at triage tonight...she met their criteria in just over 10 minutes so they were happy for me to come home, was so nice to hear her little heartbeat and hear some of the movements that I can't feel because of my anterior placenta. She's been much more active since I've got home too. I think she is like yours @SkyBlue20 that she has a few very active days then a quiet one with much more subtle movements....and I'm learning that its 'normal' for her but still makes me worry every time!

Awww @JennyMY he's gorgeous massive congratulations ❤️❤️❤️

I'm happy with either fb or WhatsApp.

I think my baby is doing the mad day then quiet pattern at the moment. See what today brings.

I felt so poorly last night, really rough and not right. Tried to eat and kept going toilet. Had a couple of loose movements if you get my drift. Felt sick too. Sleep seems to have helped. Does anyone notice they number 2 more frequently in 3rd trimester? I'm assuming its everything getting squished messing up digestive system etc.

4d scan tomorrow 😁 hope baby behaves and let's us see their face ❤️

@NI101 best of luck with your blood test for the hcg today 🤞🏻 xx

Oh my goodness, @JennyMY he's so gorgeous 😍 congratulations! And I love the name!

@NI101 good luck with your blood test.

@Pugprincess sorry you weren't feeling well.

@JoJo58995 gosh, that would be worrying, glad all is well and that you got to hear her heartbeat.

I think a Facebook page is easier for keeping track of threads, but happy either way.

I had a bit of a gap between my mmc and getting pregnant again, but I've been pregnant or breastfeeding for more than 5 of the past 6 years, so it's going to be strange when it's all over.

@JennyMY he is just perfect. Congratulations

@ni101 good luck today

@JoJo58995 how scary. Glad all is ok. At least you are finishing up soon so you won't have to worry about that.

I feel like I haven't been as sick today, my boobs aren't as sore and I'm not as totally exhausted. I had a tiny tiny bit of brown discharge today which is probably expected after the internal ultrasound. I just can't help but worry as this is what happened with my missed mc. I'm so glad I have weekly scans so only have to wait until Monday

@Pugprincess yes I'm totally experiencing this as well!! I keep feeling sick on and off too.. not sure if its with braxton hicks. I also dont feel great today. Just had a bit of a funny turn, suddenly felt really hot and my whole body felt like jelly. Starting to feel a bit better now but just come for a lie down.

I'm up for either fb or WhatsApp group... whichever the majority prefer!

@JennyMY just looked back on those pictures again and he is just too gorgeous 😍😍😍 Makes me so excited for this one to arrive! I hope you are feeling ok as well.

@Simmy20 how far along are you now? Try not to worry (easier said than done i know) you do have up and down days throughout pregnancy!

@DanceM1 I'm only 6 weeks. I haven't been able to progress past this point yet 😪 2 mc last year. This will be my first child

@Simmy20 I dont know if this is helpful or not but with this pregnancy I had a few pregnancy symptoms immediately like thats what made me take the test before I was even due on but then suddenly nothing at all until 8 weeks.. no symptoms. Suddenly after I had an early scan at 8 weeks, it was as if my body let me believe it then and I felt sick all the time. So try not to worry too much about symptoms. At 6 weeks this time I had far less symptoms than I did at 6 weeks with the MMC.

We could go all out and have a FB page and a wotsapp and see what works?!

@Jennymy I remember that feeling of recognising my DD from the way she moved - so amazing (and weird!) Xxxxxx

@JennyMY Wow, congrats! So glad you and little Arthur are well. Try to take it easy so you can heal quickly (not easy with a newborn I know).

@SkyBlue20 Yeah, I’ve been waiting to get a date booked for so long. I am glad but really don’t want to go into labour before then. Will be so nice if it goes to plan this time around as it was just so sudden and unexpected with DS.

I’ll be 37w on Sunday meaning I’ve more or less reached full term. I didn’t know if I’d make it to my consultant appt, let alone 37w. I have another breech, but managed to get away with GD and premature labour this time (unless something happens today or tomorrow), what a relief! Baby just needs to hold on and grow fatter for another 12 days, but if I suddenly disappear from here, it does mean I’ve gone into labour lol.

I’ll you what, this might sound a bit long winded but how about you all PM me your phone numbers and FB link/name stating if you prefer WhatsApp or FB. If WhatsApp I’ll make it, but if FB I’ll forward the details onto you @SkyBlue20
to make the private group? I don’t really use FB so I think I’ll leave it to someone who knows what they’re doing lol.

Updated the list so we will all be tagged and see the above info. Thought it’d be interesting to add the gestation and weight.

Wow @Sakura54 very nearly at full term, that's amazing!

@Pugprincess I hope your 4D scan went well. I had one too today, it was so lovely that my husband could come, he's said it really helped it feel more real to him. According to the scan today he's measuring at 3lbs9, last week at my growth scan he was 2lbs15, so either he's had a massive growth spurt or it just shows weights by scan aren't the most accurate! Either way he's clearly grown a bit so I'm happy with that.

I'm happy with either Facebook or WhatsApp or both! WhatsApp can be more conversational which is nice. I only really come on mumsnet to catch up with you guys, or pass the time if I'm really bored!

@DanceM1 I know what you mean about being pregnant forever, I had May and June not pregnant between pregnancies (ans I didn't know in July) but it does feel like a long pregnancy. And a long time to go without wine or gin, particularly in lockdown 🤣. But so glad to have been on this rollarcoaster with all of you lot!

@sakura wow full term, amazing! 35 weeks today for me so mad to think in 2 weeks I'm full term, never thought I'd get here.
I've pm'd you

@workingmama Aww lovely scan, I really wanted a 4d one but we haven't had the time to get one.

I've also been pregnant for nearly a year. Caught last time in Marchish and I must've ovulated a week after my MMC bleeding started. Its been a crazy year!

@SkyBlue20 @Pugprincess @Threnody @Simmy20. I honestly feel so touched by your warm wishes and that you were even thinking of me in your very busy lives. Thank you.

Today I went for my second set of bloods after a 48hr window. The EPU rang an hour ago to confirm the results were food. HCG had doubled and seems to be progressing well. I have been booked for another scan on Wednesday where they would hope to see the gestational sac in the uterus.

I’m still bleeding, dark brown discharge which isn’t limited to when I wipe as it was when it started. In my first scan, the doctor did say that if she had seen a sac she would have given me some medicine to support the pregnancy in light of this bleeding. But as the sac wasn't seen at that point, she couldn’t do so. I have no idea what this medicine is. Has anyone experienced something like this?

Fingers crossed it continues into a healthy pregnancy. xx

I haven’t posted for so long I lost the thread and now have tonnes of catching up! Sorry!

@jennyMY Congratulations! How lovely, he is just perfect :-) Enjoy getting to know your little one!

@Workingmama1 thanks for the update about Purple Pansy, that is so lovely to hear!

@Pugprincess I have the opposite problem to you - my digestive system has gone really sluggish, I’m wolfing down prunes and bran flakes but it doesn’t seem to have any effect yet!

I would be happy to join a FB group with you if someone else knows how to set it up!
