Pregnancy After Miscarriage Part 5 - TTC graduates

[BecsterG]

Hi Ladies, loving that we have e Pugh success stories and chat for part 5!

@Whiffle77 ah do you follow each other on Instagram? I do have an Instagram account but never really used it! Maybe I should as I'd love to see everyone's updates. It's so good to hear you're doing well and enjoying your little one. Nobody/nothing really prepares you for the reality of what those first few weeks are like and it's hard! And I imagine even harder when you don't get the smoothest of starts either. It's so good you got the support you needed though and don't beat yourself up about not getting the meds sooner - I think it's hard to recognise when in the thick of things and cling onto the hope that things will get better by themselves over time. The important thing is you did get the support and are now feeling better and enjoying your little man. When do you start back at work? I also share your worries about second baby not being as easy - so far she's been a dream and it's still been hard at times and I often think how would I have coped if things didn't get easier. But she's only 2months 😂 so even though we definitely would like more, things may change overtime! You're also right about the sleep regression - my inner control freak is trying to be in control of something which is soo out of my control and I think that's what's causing the worry! But you're right no amount of worrying is going to change what happens and I know i'll just ride it out whatever 😬

Thankyou ladies for all your kind messages 🤍

@Fizzl so Bleu was born on the 5th March and my DD with this one is the 16/02! So not even a year between them both 🤯 I must be crazy!

@Faedupz2 Thankyou. If I firmly press a bit hard on my belly I did feel some small little movements last night but I have to massively concentrate! I ended up going for a scan on Saturday and all was ok anyway! Just my paranoid self!

@Whiffle77 we already know what we're having 🙊 how LUCKY am I!? I've already got a baby boy, and now expecting a little girl 💗

Congratulations @mlax

@Whiffle77 it was Jude's first birthday today. We had a wee party with family and a few friends. He seems to have had a great day and was absolutely bushed.

Sorry for the late response. I don't get notifications for this anymore.

I cannot believe that this time last year I was just about to have my first night at home with Jude! Crazy!

Hi Everyone hope your all okay. I feel so sad I'm not on this chat as often as I used to be. I'm just thinking about this time last year and how some of our due dates were approaching. How fast has this year gone Paisley is 1 in 5 just over four weeks I cannot get my head around it! Alvies birthday is also two week away so this time of the year triggers me a little. Xx

@AlviesMam It’s absolutely flying isn’t it?! Daisy is 8 months now and I can’t actually believe how big she’s getting. It’s like I’ve blinked and she’s changed from a newborn into a little person!

I can’t believe Paisley is nearly 1 😱 She’s such a little cutie! Have you got any plans for her 1st birthday?

Ahhh lots of love to you @AlviesMam it must be hard with October having so much going on for baby loss awareness too. At least you will have your lovely little lady for cuddles on his birthday this year. Xxx

Time is terrifying, to think where we all were last year! And now we have 1 year olds and almost 1 year old. What a ride this past year has been. DS def seems like a boy now and not a baby, he is crawling everywhere at high speed all of a sudden - the dog is not impressed!! Not long till going back to work either, although I have just been offered a new job! It would be a promotion and just can't work out if that's the right thing for me at this time, going back to work after mat leave. Lots of thinking to do.

That sounds great @BecsterG glad you all had a good time! I think we will do something similar.

Oh @mlax that's amazing, lucky you!! How exciting!! Do you have names in mind?

Yes @Fizzl quite a few of us follow each other on insta, so there is plenty of baby spam! It's lovely to see so many of the babes growing up. If you PM me your user name I will add you and let you know who other people are? Or there was a list on the Facebook group, but I've quit Facebook now so one of the other girls may be able to pass it on. Thanks, you are so right in everything you say and I need to remember that! Just hard sometimes. Due back end of Nov but may be Jan if I take this job!!

@mlax ah congratulations! Lovely that you are having a girl to add to your family! I'm very envious I already want another tiny baby 😳 but I've been lulled into a false sense of security so far I think because elodie has been pretty easy! (So far).

@AlviesMam thinking of you. Must be a very bitter sweet time of year for you now 💐

@Whiffle77 I'll send you my username. I've just done a bit of a photo dump on there so lots of baby spam now. I don't really use social media so my account is private and I don't have anyone following me so it will be just so I can keep up with you guys! Sounds like you've got a lot to think about re work! Great that you've been offered a promotion but I understand the dilemma when you're just going back and all the change.

@Fizzl @Whiffle77
Also interested in insta! I don't have facebook :)
