Navigating pregnancy after loss thread 3

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

@Lizm1990 congratulations, amazing news!

@Bridgey8 as @flowergarden16 said it depends on your tax free allowance & earnings in this tax year. If you’re currently being taxed that will likely continue at the same rate but you may get a tax rebate in April if it works out you paid more than you should have with having the lower stat mat pay. It should refresh in April & you shouldn’t get taxed on it from then as it would likely be less than your personal tax free allowance.

@Lizm1990 so pleased for you 🌈♥️ x

@Lizm1990 amazing news! Congratulations 🌈🌈

@arianasky I have group strep b too which was picked up at my booking appointment random urine sample. I had to have a week course of abx and will have to have antibiotics in labour. They want you to have at least one iv abx but ideally 2. Haven’t heard anything further since then and haven’t had to send any further samples off etc. They treat regardless xx

For everyone talking about baby movements, I had my 20 week scan yesterday, typically baby girl wouldn’t play ball at all even though she never usually stops moving (especially when I’ve eaten). So re scan for me on Monday! I am a nurse and on nights at the moment so I’m sure baby is totally confused on my sleeping patterns! Xx

Thanks all 🥰❤️

Congratulations @Lizm1990! ❤️❤️❤️

@Lizm1990 congratulations 🥰😍

Ooh @Lizm1990 that's a lovely pic!

@Prayingformyrainbow93 congrats on your 20 week scan 💞 I had to have rescan as baby wouldn't cooperate but they managed to get everything second time round so hope it's the same for you 🤞 x

Thankyou all 🥰 really really happy now ❤️❤️ I hope everyone else is ok xx

Did you? Just another thing to make us slightly anxious over! To be fair I couldn’t believe she wouldn’t move as I do feel her moving loads but typically that morning she never moved 🤣 fingers crossed they can get everything they need on Monday @Skl2021 do you think you’ll have any more scans from now until baby arrives? What’s your feelings on the 4d ones? Xx

@Prayingformyrainbow93 my little one hasnt behaved at any scan I have always had to go back 😂🤦 I really want a 4d scan but there like 95 quid and I haven't even started buying baby things yet so don't know if I can afford it. And I'm nearly 27 weeks so would have to get it booked very soon!! I'm also having growth scans from 30 weeks every 2 weeks at the hospital so I will see him quite alot xx

Ah yeah I remember you saying he’d been a monkey at your scans! That seems so steep for a 4d scan, I always think they’re really weird so if it was up to me I wouldn’t bother but my OH wants to get one! We will see 😬 have you not bought anything yet? To be fair I’ve only really got clothes but I do want to get everything sorted before I go on mat leave rather than stressing I’ve got loads to do! I guess you won’t be that far off leaving now? Or at least on some sort of countdown! Xx

Hi girls. Can I join? I've had 4 losses in two years and just found out last Sunday I'm pregnant again! Have had all the tests and they found nothing so I'm hoping this is it this time but also trying to stay realistic

@Hopingforarainbow27 I'm so sorry to hear of your losses. Congrats for the positive test and welcome! This is a fab group! Sending hugs 💛

@Tulip1112 thank you so much 💞

I actually recognise some of the names on here form previous threads I was on!

Aww @Lizm1990 that's a lovely scan picture. Mine was the same at 12 weeks, they had to rescan because the wriggling and handstands made it impossible to do a measurement 😂

@Prayingformyrainbow93 I only have one scan site near me all the others are 2+hours so guess they can charge what they want 🤦 never had one tho so I did really want one for my last! Yes I'm thinking of leaving at end of July then using my holidays before maternity pay kicks in so I only have about three weeks left if it goes to plan! No I have only bought some baby grows and vests can't bring myself to buy anything big. X
@Hopingforarainbow27 I recognize your name! Congratulations on the positive test I really hope this is a sticky bean for you 💞🌈 xx

Hi ladies, I'm 13 weeks tomorrow and having quite uncomfortable dull cramps in tummy and lower back. It woke me up in the night. No blood so is it just things stretching? It's hard not to worry.

@Sassy144 when did you have your last scan?

Just so hungry all the time!! Also want to cry all the time.. 🤯😂

@Hopingforarainbow27 I had my last scan on Tuesday

@Sassy144 have you had any more pains today? I hope everything is ok for you! I experienced this too in my last pregnancy in March at 13 weeks but my babies had stopped growing at 10 weeks! So the fact you had scan last week and baby was ok is reassuring!

@Hopingforarainbow27 yes it's been pretty constant, fingers crossed it's just growing pains. If it doesn't let up soon I'll call midwife I think x
