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

Aww thanks for the warm welcome ladies 🥰 @Skl2021 Yeah I'm ok. Still not sunk in yet tbh, also trying not to think about due dates etc as just think it could lead to heartache. None of our family know as yet..pregnancy after MC is such a weird place to be in..how are u doing? Am I right in thinking u are due soon?! X

@arianasky Thank you lovely! That 2nd MMC killed me..it was so so hard. How are u getting on? Xx

Argh I'm still not great at tagging everyone. Nothing changes 😅 xx thank you all xx

@calimc83 I still sometimes don't believe it. Won't settle until he's here safely! I'm so unorganized haven't got it all ready just feels so surreal still! Yes I'm 37 weeks now. We only told like our parents and siblings. We announced to everyone else when I was like 25 weeks pregnant as I didn't want anyone to know and I could still hide my bump. I'm ready for baby to be here now tho I'm not sleeping great and I'm constantly uncomfortable 🙈 x

@Skl2021 omg! I can't believe you're 37 weeks..that's crazy! Baby could come at any time 😬..how are u feeling about the birth?? Yeah I was thinking of waiting till around 20 weeks or so to tell people but I'm showing already! I'm really anxious to get this NIPT test done now..Just terrified of bad news and scans turn me into a nervous wreck xx

@calimc83 yes I wish he would! I'm not prepared tho but I'm just miserable 🙈 my other 2 were late so I don't have high hopes! I'm sure the nipt test will come back fine think positive ♥️ re scans I still get scared everytime and I'm on weekly ones I always hold my breathe until they show the heartbeat. It is horrible how miscarriage changes everything and takes the excitement x

@calimc83 honestly I cried when I read about it I really felt for you 😞 I'm sure NIPT will be fine 💕 I'm ok thank you 30 weeks now the panic is starring to set in now I realise it is actually happening 🙈

Ah @calimc83 congrats! That's wonderful news

I'm like you and still don't like telling people (almost 31 weeks) I don't think it gets easier you just get more used to it

Wishing you a really healthy pregnancy x

@flowergarden16 aww thank you!! How are u getting on?
@arianasky oh sweetheart, that's so sad, it's funny how we build bonds when we don't really know each other isn't it?! . It was just the worst. But as I keep telling myself. I got through that. The lowest point in my life and so I can get through anything now! Exciting that you're nearly at the finish line..are u feeling ready??
@Skl2021 u never know he might be early?! Have u a birth plan all prepped? Did u feel better once u started to feel kicks?? X

Does everyone know what they are having?? Xx

@calimc83 There are a LOT of boys on this thread! I still don't have a clue, I have two lovely boys already and will be delighted with either. And am almost 37 weeks - suddenly @Bridgey8's arrival has spurred me into a mild panic and I've started packing my bag (mostly haribo, to be honest...).

@calimc83 haha I can hope 🙈 nope no birth plan nothing it's all gone to shit sick of it all I'm not getting anywhere. Haven't seen midwife for weeks and I have only just seen my consultant last week for like 5mins and discussed nothing. No didn't really feel better as it was something else to worry about 🙈 I start panicking of I haven't felt him move as much. Always something to worry about 🤦 are you going to find out what your having xx

@barneymcgroo thats all that really required! 😆😆 how exciting that you're also so far along..I'm gonna do my best not to find out! I have one of each and found out with both of mine so really do need a surprise! Xx

@Skl2021 actually I can imagine I'll be the same 😬 when did u feel movements with this one?? I can see me having a c sec this time as I've had x2 3rd degree tears previously 😩 xx

@calimc83 it was quite late this time as I have an anterior placenta this time. Still dont feel everything as I have seen him moving on scans and I don't feel it! I have been told I need a section nearly every other week since 30 weeks as he flips between head down and breech every other week. Getting sick of the guessing game every week 🤦 I feel like I can't prepare. Are you finding out what your having? You have 2 boys already like me don't you? X

@calimc83 ignore my last questions I should of read your post 🤣🙊 x

@Skl2021 😆😆 I do that all the time! I think I have an anterior placenta as well..but I'm sure I can feel something but not entirely sure it's not just my stomach bubbling?! I've totally forgotten what the initial movements feel like 🙈 xx

@calimc83 yes I think initially it's like bubbling butterfly type movements! Hopefully won't be much longer for you xx

@calimc83 absolutely and my heart broke for you knowing what you'd been through and would have to endure again, I'm so happy you're pregnant with your rainbow now 🌈 i don't know about prepared 😂 i feel I've got a lot to sort but I think I have the majority of things now, I'm having a boy 💙 aww a surprise will be lovely for you especially after finding out previously. I saw you ask about movement's at about 14 weeks I started feeling like popping/bubbles on my low right side and by 17 weeks full on kicks

@calimc83 I have an anterior placenta too - took ages to feel movements, whereas with my other two was around the 16 week mark. Ages, like 24, 26 weeks. Now I'm under no illusion - there's definitely someone in there, and they are not afraid to let me know. All the time!

That is absolutely crazy @Bridgey8! Congratulations again and I hope little one is doing okay now. He definitely looks very chilled 🤣

Oh my goodness, hi @calimc83 and what amazing news!! How are you feeling in yourself?

I wonder who's going to be next with their beautiful bubba, so exciting!! 🥰

@Cruz86 plz pick me pick me 🙌🙌🤣🤣 I'm so done with pregnancy!!! Xx

Oh I know the feeling @Skl2021 🤣 I'm still a few weeks behind you too! How is baby's growth/positioning at the moment? X

@arianasky a boy! 💙 lovely, so excited for you! Have u felt the anxiety after loss gets better the more your pregnancy progresses? @Cruz86 Thank you lovely! How are u getting on?? @barneymcgroo 24/26 weeks!! Oh wow..I don't think I could cope with that..sure I felt baby do a little tap dance on my cervix earlier! Xx

@calimc83 yayyyyy so glad to see you here!!!

If anyone wants a hormonal cry i made this of my nan... brings a tear every single time 😭
