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

@sunnyd67 thank you so much for asking - baby was fine and another great heartbeat. Only 8+1 so still feels like forever to go until 12 week scan now! 🙈 but great news 😊

@Mrs173 Oh that's great to hear - what a relief!

@Mrs173 glad your scan went well and put your mind at ease. I lost my symptoms around 7/8 weeks and panicked, I got fresh new ones not long after. Early pregnancy is particularly hard after loss ❤️

Thanks @Sassy144 it really is isn’t it! I’ve had 2 missed miscarriages now where I only found out at scans so have such bad anxiety with a scan now and the reassurance doesn’t last long. I try to remind myself that a healthy baby at 8 weeks with a heartbeat is a fantastic sign that this will hopefully work out! I think the whole “secrecy thing” at this early stage makes it even harder!!!

@Mrs173 I'm so glad it went well, happy birthday! ❤️

Thank you 😊 x

@Skl2021 Fingers crossed for your scan today. 🤞

@barneymcgroo thanks it's not until 4.15 so have a long wait. How are you doing? I'm really struggling now can't remember it being this hard with my previous two! I'm constantly in pain and uncomfortable. Tired irritable and get upset so easy! My poor partner don't know how he's putting up with me 🤦 x

@Skl2021 I am feeling similar, a tired grumpy achy moody b*h haha! 35 weeks this week and hips and round ligament pain is ramping up

@barneymcgroo you are quite close to finish line too arent you?

@Annny27 everything is hurting 😫pelvis feels like it's going to snap. Back pain rib pain shooting pains. So so so done now. Don't know whether to cry scream 😖🙈 this baby needs to make an appearance now 🙌🙌 x

@Skl2021 Argh, long wait... Hope it passes quickly - are your older two in nursery/school? Can't remember all the old wives' tales about getting the baby to turn. Probably scrubbing the floor on hands and knees - think the modern day equivalent might be picking up ALL the Lego my two throw on the floor...

@Annny27 Yep, not long to go. Been having Braxton Hicks a lot, but nothing else. Have packed a bag (well, mostly), and my parents are back from a weekend away, so I'm probably ready if it kicks off now. Would quite like to wait a bit though - my birthday's coming up, and I'd rather not spend the day in labour... Although would be a wonderful present!

@barneymcgroo yes my older 2 both at school. Haha I'm at the stage where I struggle to pick up of the floor 🤣 I'm like a beached whale 🙈 I'm so done with the position thing now what will be will be. He's obviously comfy and going to do what he wants. I still think he moves daily anyway due to the kicks literally all round my stomach changes all the time! I just want it done now! X

@Skl2021 Sounds like you'll be relieved to get him out whichever way, to be honest!

I'm 37+3, can't believe it's all so soon. Seems like forever ago I was weeing on a stick...

@Skl2021 oh, and if you feel like a beached whale, it's tea and biscuits time. Relax while you can...

@barneymcgroo yes I think I have made peace with whatever will be will be! I'm so miserable now so anything has to be better than this!
Yes time has flown! Still doesn't feel real 🙈 just this last bit to go now! Really hoping I don't go over I don't want to do this for another month 🤣🙈 knowing my luck!! Haha I'm also seem to be eating like a horse this last week! It's embarrassing 🤦no wonder I'm huge! All I'm doing is eating and sleeping! X

Good luck for your scan @Skl2021 🙏🏻 turn baby turn 🙏🏻💙

@arianasky thanks ♥️🙌🤞🙊 x

@Skl2021 how did you get on?

@sunnyd67 so everything went ok but it was only a Doppler scan today. Growth scan is Monday. So baby is head down this week 🙌 hurrah! But I was expecting him to be as it's his head down week 🤣🙊 doctor did mention tho as his weight has significantly gone up and if it goes up again on Monday they might want to induce 🙈🤦 I can't even believe it just my luck. How can he go from smallest to biggest 🤦 x

Oh @Skl2021, he's really keeping you on your toes, isn't he?! Hope Monday's scan is good, and you're not too uncomfortable over the weekend. Can you do some serious bouncing on a yoga ball while he's head down...?

@barneymcgroo haha I hope he hasn't put too much on 🙈 just my luck to go from smallest baby to biggest! I really don't want an induction at all costs. X

Just had my COVID booster. Has anyone else had theirs? Feels a bit scary which is still really isn't it! Much better than getting COVID again x

@flowergarden16 I've had the CV19 and the flu one too 😊 at approx 4 weeks

Thanks @IWillBeWaxingAnOwl I need to go and get my flu jab too actually! X

How is everyone getting on? X
