Navigating pregnancy after loss thread 3

New thread before the other one fills up completely! 🥰❤️🌈

@Sassy144 @fflowergarden16 @Arwen7 oh brilliant thanks! It's amazing the amount of things I worry about.

I'm 21 weeks. Last couple of days I haven't felt baby much, I can still feel him, but the kicks aren't as strong, the pattern has changed, I know there isn't a routine at the moment. Ladies experiencing movements, do patterns change often, does it feel stronger/less stronger some days?

@Sassy144 amazing news and scan picture is lovely, did they do an internal or abdominal? Really hoping it’s the latter for me. I’ve finished for work today and have tomorrow and Friday off, I’ve now started feeling really anxious for tomorrow, like you I’ve got to wait until the afternoon 😩

@sunnyd67 im 26 weeks and still not in a pattern. Like u say some days he's really strong and others I can feel him but there alot lighter. Hoping it's because they still have room to move and it's normal! It does make you anxious tho! 🙈 Always something! X

@Skl2021 it is always something, indeed. Just had a lay down and he was moving loads with some really strong movements 😅🥹

@sunnyd67 always the way! Usually when I start to panic that I haven't felt him he goes mad and kicks me all over 🤣 must sense the panic in me! Maybe try cold drinks or I think orange juice is meant to work! X

Tentatively joining not sure if anyone will remember me from the ttc after miscarriage thread, @Skl2021 you were my due date buddy if you remember but I unfortunately miscarried again. Well we decided to take a break to heal psychically and mentally and we were careful to avoid my fertile days and actually avoiding having sex, anyway we DTD once! Yes once when I thought it was a week before ovulation !! And here I am again … 7 weeks pregnant, I really hope it is third time lucky for me lets hope ey ❤️ Hope all you other lovely ladies are doing well xox

@Cindy974 of course I remember you! So happy for you congratulations 💞🌈 lovely to see you on here again ♥️ xx

@Skl2021 thank you so much ❤️ I did dip into this thread every now and again to see how you were all doing and it made me so happy seeing everyones scans and updates so glad everything is good with you all and babies are all cooking away nicely 🌈 ❤️ Xox

@Cindy974 thankyou ♥️ how is everything with you? Have u had any scans or check ups yet? Xx

@Skl2021 I have my booking appointment next week which is a milestone! We have decided not to pay for a private scan and just wait till our 12 week one this time so I’m trying to not worry to much keeping myself busy 😅 how is everything with you? How have you been? Xo

@sunnyd67 with my first, I had a worrying few hours after a VERY big Christmas dinner. I assumed there was no longer any room for him to move...

I definitely have days of more or less movement. Currently 25 weeks.

@Cindy974 aww that's something to look forward too 🙌 we didn't pay for early scan either and waited until 12 weeks. Not much longer for u to wait! Yes everything has been going ok. I'm having another boy don't know if u know. Starting to get tired and uncomfortable 🙊 xx

@Cindy974 big congratulations ❤️ I remember your name from TTC at the start, my god you both must be super fertile one time, your fella must have super sperm and your amazing eggs 🤣🤣🤣 I was saying to my fella we need to do it every day lol he was knackered haha! At least you don’t have to worry about a long TTC period either, just the anxiety before the 12 weeks is not great! But won’t be long for you 😊

Lovely news about all good scans 🌈 I'm away at the moment so haven't been on just catching up, midwife told me I have group b strep which they found from my swabs last week which I did after the yellow thick discharge. Anyone else been diagnosed with this at all? Baby is moving lots now 💙

@Cindy974 I remember you aswell 💕 I'm so happy for you 🌈

@Skl2021 aw bless you, I can imagine its even worse in this heat 😳 glad everything is going well💕

@Lizm1990 thank you so much 💕 oh god I know I was saying this to him too 🤣 its an anxious time but gotta stay positive 🤞🏼 Hope you're doing well x

@arianasky aww thank you so much lovely I remember you too! so glad everything is going well for you, I cant wait to feel baby move too 💕

@Lizm1990 thank you, it was abdominal! Good luck for tomorrow, the waiting is the worst bit!

@Cindy974 congrats! 🌈 amazing news

@arianasky I'm strep b positive - it's written on front of my orange notes and I have to have antibiotics in labour

@flowergarden16 I had the same and my mum couldn't remember. I had the blood test and had immunity... I think you'd be rare to have avoided it until now so likelihood is you're immune and fine. I also just had to have bloods for slap cheek but was immune to that too... bloody parents not remembering!!

For those with movements - mine are still sporadic - some days he's crazy active other days not so much!

Xxx

Thanks so much @Bridgey8 !

Getting the test tomorrow. Hope we are better at remembering 🤣

@Bridgey8 yeah that's what they said to me too, not to worried but not looking forward to another 20 weeks of this discharge 😭

Just trying to sort through my finances. I only get statutory mat pay with my work... so I'm just trying to work out on the 156.66 I'll get per week - how much will I be taxed on that?! Anyone know?

Hi girls, today I had my 12 week scan (first scan too), I was so anxious I got upset this morning and last night, but we’re really happy healthy baby with a strong heartbeat!! I can’t tell you the relief I felt especially after I heard those words last time that there was no heartbeat, I started crying happy tears obv 🤣🤣 baby was not playing ball and doing handstands and wiggling so much, he/she really gave the lady a job to do the measurements. The sonographer said he’s being a naughty one 😳😳😳 can they see gender at 12 weeks? Not sure if she slipped up as we wanted to do a gender reveal 🤦‍♀️ I still want to though. Or whether she just said he out of habit 💁‍♀️ Thing is my fella has two kids both boys so I’ve always thought there’s a strong chance it’s a boy. Baby is measuring 2 days ahead so 12+2 today with a due date of 10th Jan 23 ❤️

Wow huge congrats @Lizm1990 !! Lovely scan

@Bridgey8 will depend on your tax free allowance and earnings this year you can use Listen To Taxman website?

I have immunity to chicken pox thank god 🙏🏻

Aww that's great @Lizm1990 🥰 You must've been so happy!. It's too early to see the gender though, she probably said it out of a habit ☺️ Hopefully you can relax a bit now and enjoy the feeling ☺️

Congratulations @Lizm1990 ❤️
