Navigating pregnancy after loss thread 4!

[arianasky]

Hello ladies though I'd start a new thread, I'll tag who I am remember I'm sorry if I've forgot anyone...

@Skl2021 @Cruz86 @flowergarden16 @aesgriff @Sassy144 @Arwen7 @Bridgey8

@Prayingformyrainbow93 on my private scan report it says baby is measuring 30w1d, I was 28w4d when I had the scan.

@Prayingformyrainbow93 I feel like fundal height so inaccurate, bumps are so different in shape and sizes. My friend who is three weeks behind me has definitely bigger bump than I do, however baby is no where near as big as mine.

My bump is huge - I get asked all the time if it's twins or if I'm due really soon. My fundal height always seems to be a week ahead. Got another growth scan at 36 weeks...

Hey ladies, I've been so bad at checking in on here, time is just flying. Nice to catch up on how you're all doing, not long now for a lot of you!

I've got my 20 week scan today, feeling baby move lots now so you'd think that would take some of the worry away but it doesn't! The storm woke me up so I'm sitting here at 5am eating cornflakes as I still get ravenous if I'm awake for longer than 30 minutes 🙈

Good luck today @Sassy144 - moving baby is a happy baby as they say x

Good luck @Sassy144 same with the eating 😂 I'm always starving at like 3am 🙈

@Sassy144 good luck today 💞✨🤞 x

@Sassy144 @arianasky the 3am hunger is such a struggle here. I don't want to get out of bed in case I "fully" wake up (although some nights I'm awake from 3-5 anyway just willing myself to go back to sleep). Think I'll need to get my first trimester biscuits out the cupboard again, the ones that I needed to eat within 2 mins of waking or risk super nausea. Don't miss those days 😅

@flowergarden16 @arianasky @Skl2021 thank you! @Tofu35 I know, I laid there for ages trying to go back to sleep but in the end the hunger got the best of me. Emergency bedside biscuits are a good idea! You're right, I definitely don't miss those early days!

It's going to be a long day, after my 5am breakfast I then got stuck on the loo for half an hour, the joys of pregnancy constipation 😭😂

@Sassy144 best of luck today! Hope it all goes well.

Pruuunes! You need prunes, or something like it. I have a handful with breakfast, seems to help.

@Tofu35 I still eat 2 digestive biscuits everyday in bed before getting up (no longer needed for nausea) and I think that might be why I am putting on a bit more pounds than I thought I might hahahaha

Other third trimester ladies. Are you getting like mild cramping stretchy feeling? I can't remember if I had this with my son, and every twinge is freaking me out because of my placenta previa. 🤪

@flowergarden16 I have had all sorts of random stretching and pains 🙈 can't remember having them with my others either! Yesterday I thought I was in early labour had tightening all across top of bump then had alot of pains and pressure low down 🤦 xx

@Skl2021 that makes me feel better 🤣 I know it's not anything bad really just feel so anxious atm! I'll speak to midwife on Tuesday when I see her xx

@flowergarden16 it definitely puts you on edge 🙈 but like u say hopefully just everything stretching and getting ready 🤞 well that's what I'm hoping as I'm not ready yet 🤣🤦 x

@flowergarden16 I've been having mild, uncomfortable feeling in my lower abdomen on/off for the last few days. Similar to what I feel at the start/end of my periods. Can't tell if it's stretching or braxton hicks? 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Srx1 that's exactly what I have. How many weeks are you? Must be attending as baby is now just gaining weight as I think they are fully formed

@flowergarden16 I'm 29weeks today! Yes baby is gonna have a growth spurt now 😬

Ah you are just over a week ahead of me! Ok I think we must all be feeling those babies grow and our wombs doing the same! X

@barneymcgroo yes I'm going to go on a prune hunting mission tomorrow 😂

My scan went well, all is good with baby! I will have growth scans towards the end for my low PAPP-A but so far so good ❤️

@Sassy144 So pleased about your scan - hooray!

Sorry, I'm a bit evangelical about prunes 😂

@flowergarden16 I keep getting a crampy feeling now and again, sometimes when the baby moves in a certain position - usually with his bump sticking out on one side! And also when I'm walking, I can't seem to walk very far or for long periods as it's giving me very uncomfortable cramps and stretchy feeling, I'm really not sure what it is...

@sunnyd67 that sounds like Braxton hicks. I had those so often with my first. Haven't had them really this time but they feel very strange. It's all so weird isn't it x

Co grate @Sassy144 !

@flowergarden16 @sunnyd67 I'm also having the crampy feelings Especially when I'm walking or cleaning for a long time etc

@Sassy144 I had the worst constipation until about 22 weeks when I started having weetabix every morning that seemed to really help?

First growth scan today very intrigued to see how he's measuring I was 6lb4oz when I was born but DP was 10lb13oz 😂🙈 praying he takes after me not his dad 🙏🏻😂
