Minsters side car bumping along- ttc thread graduates 3

[Justanothercyster]

Here's the next one :)

@lucyrp aww yes I think I will feel the same way I really love my bump and feeling little one wriggling away in there.

@Kate105 🤞🏼I hope so. I honestly can't stop crying since yesterday, and feel like I'm back in the first trimester again with sickness 🤢 don't know what on Earth is going on.

@Florence13 I keep flitting between being so uncomfortable I want baby to be out and sad that this whole crazy journey is going to be over soon, totally get that feeling. I know there's a new journey ahead but it's like the end of a whole hormonal era lol

@Justanothercyster it really is. Also if it’s any consolation I keep feeling ridiculously hormonal and sick as well and think we are very close in due dates.

@Florence13 oh really? Hopefully it's a sign we're nearing the end then!

@Justanothercyster yes I think it is to be honest which makes me really sad.

@Florence13 I get that, but bub will be a good gift at the end :)
I honestly feel like I'm carrying a baby horse in me it's so heavy, so I'm looking forward to it...

How is everyone?

I seem to have good days and then bad ones now. Sickness seems to be easing a little but then when I get a bad day I'm floored and can't keep anything down at all! It's crazy.

I had a bad day yesterday and was so ill, yet tonight I'm sat thinking about posh sea salted crisps and chip shop mushy peas (together!)

11+3, and the scanxiety is kicking in, I keep worrying myself because we haven't had a scan early so have no idea what's going off in there.. I'm scared to death we will go next Wednesday (it's the 3rd not the 4th like I told people ooops!!) and get devastating news..

Then I keep reminding myself that the sickness, constipation(bad!!) and I have oral thrush again are all good signs for me...

@Lexber struggling as I'm feeling awful but generally ok.
Those are ALLLLLL good signs! But I understand the anxiety. Not long to wait and we'll be here whatever happens x

@Justanothercyster hope the sweep today is successful 🤞 you're not overdue yet right? I have bonfire night in my head as your due date. Also curious is it the done thing for a midwife to come to your house to do these? I assumed I would always be heading into hospital for anything like this.

@Lexber I had no scans during all of early pregnancy so the 12 week was my first. I definitely had the fear of seeing nothing on screen because of the wait but all was fine. I'm sure you'll be feeling better next week! Do let us know how it goes when the time comes.

@Justanothercyster sorry I've just realised today isn't Thursday and your sweep is tomorrow 😅 my bad!

@2020mission don't worry haha. Yes I'm due the 6th but getting properly induced in hospital on bonfire night. It depends on the midwife really, some do home visits and some in the clinic, luckily my next two are in the clinic. You can say no to home ones too of course

@Lexber sorry to hear your suffering but it all sounds like good signs ready for your scan.

@Justanothercyster hope your sweep goes well today, no signs of anything at all happening over here haha.

@Justanothercyster Fingers crossed for a successful sweep for you today so no waiting until next week 🤞🏼

Progesterone ladies… I might be getting ahead of myself (12 week scan tomorrow) but pending everything being ok the consultant told me to start weaning off progesterone at 12/13 weeks. She didn’t say how or for how long like how many days/weeks to do it over? Anyone know any different? We go away next week, bikini weather and so limited foof leaks would be welcome 🙈

Thank you for the well wishes. I really hope it does because I've been feeling shite, squits constantly, nausea, can't eat, pain. All good signs apparently so if they can't bloody reach my cervix I'll do it myself!!

@bez91 no idea, sorry! But very jealous of bikini weather!

@Justanothercyster good luck for the sweep today let's hope for long fingers!!

@bez91 when we did ivf they just went cold turkey on the progesterone after the viability scan which was at 7 weeks so I would say you could even go cold turkey if you wanted for your holiday if everything is ok tomorrow 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Ps I'm really crampy today, is that a good or bad thing? Like af type cramps top of my right leg 😩😩

@Justanothercyster they do all sound like really good signs.

@bez91 yes I would be inclined to say if all goes well with your scan then I don’t see why you would need to continue past 12 weeks to be honest.

@Minster2012 I did have period cramps early on if that’s any reassurance it’s just all the hormones acting on your ligaments most of the time.

@Minster2012 I had af cramps a LOT early on, it was worrying but very normal and a good sign apparently :) means bean is snuggly. I also had them on and off throughout the whole thing tbh

Ok, so things have progressed cervix wise, softening and low now which is great, but she still couldn't sweep me out. We shall see what Monday's apt brings 🙈😂

@Justanothercyster oh bless you well at least things are changing that is a positive sign right?

@Florence13 yes definitely! I'm a little relieved actually, feel like everything was happening all at once. I've got the weekend to chill out a bit now which is nice, though I wish my belly would stop playing up!
How are you feeling about it all?

@Justanothercyster aww yes hun just try and get as much rest as you can over the weekend. I am feeling quite chilled about it all to be honest, it’s just a waiting game. And I know it could be upto 3 weeks before little one makes an appearance so just trying to enjoy still being pregnant.

Thank you ladies, @Florence13 & @Justanothercyster I feel ok today but god yesterday was awful so I hope it's just everything stretching. I tried to persuade DH the only way to check everything is ok for sure is to get another scan but he's not having it 😂

@Justanothercyster how you feeling? No sign of the little horse yet?

@Minster2012 glad you're feeling ok today hun. Lol you can't say you didn't try! When's the 12 week booked for?
@Florence13 @Justanothercyster hope you're both ok?!

@becarefuloutthere yes all good thank you how are you doing?

@bez91 hope all goes well with your scan.
