July 2023 (Thread 2)!

[RandomCatGenerator]

Creating a new thread as we’re about to finish the first - just as we finish our first trimesters!

@RandomCatGenerator i was obviously delirious when writing this my apologies! Paracetamol is fine but they don’t touch my headaches, I usually take strong tablets from the dr for my headaches. Similar to migraleave but stronger but the packet says do not take if pregnant 😩 literally had a wierd day! Had it all day been in and out of sleep all day! X

Do you have any family help?

Im stressing so much about this. I'm waiting on my harmony results to find out if it's boy no.3....

Can I ask how hold you are? and joe old your other two are?

What area of the country are you in?!

I found out at a scan lady wi at 12 weeks that I have a low anterior placenta which is covering my cervix and previous c-section scar. this is filling me with horror - has anyone else had this in previous pregnancies and it has moved and all way fine by a later stage?

@Chickadee30 I'm 40, mine will be 5 and 6 when their brother arrives. I've got a MIL who babysits now and then but that's about it so it's going to be interesting.... What about you?

@Coffeeforlife I've got a 10 and 6 year old. my in-laws have been fab in looking after the boys for the odd night or weekend away in the last couple of years but they aren't local - and anyway it wouldn't be possible when the baby arrives as that would be too much for them so we will be on our own 🙈

@Chickadee30 sounds very similar then. My parents are too far away to help and not together so each of them wouldn't be able to cope with three anyway. Don't think there's going to be much alone time....

Hi all,
14+3 weeks here, has anyone else experience a sort of pressure/weight on their uterus (and also tmi.. their lower back/anus)?
It feels like it's a bit early for me to be feeling so weighed down, down there..

Freaking out as I was diagnosed with a short cervix at 14 weeks (between 2,6 and 3cm!)

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I need a night away to get over my night away 😂

Anyone else having mood swings? I've been so grumpy the past few days and I don't know if its hormones, tiredness etc. Just feel I need a few days to myself! DD is 21 months almost and has started throwing tantrums and being really demanding and I just don't have the energy for it, I feel terrible and like a shitty mum.

@Rutennotou I woke up in a foul mood today if that makes you feel any better! My 3.5 year old is really trying her luck recently and I do have moments where I feel I just can't handle it! We'd all had enough by this afternoon so I told everyone to get their coats, shoes and hats on and we were going for a walk! Lovely cold walk down the beach made us all feel a bit better 😊
I've been feeling a bit achy in the stomach area tonight, started to get a bit worried but I do think it's stomach related and not pregnancy related.

@MamaSJ15 I feel a bit better after a sleep 🤣 I'm 16 weeks today, OH is off work so thinking on bringing the gender scan we have booked for Saturday forward. I think a trip out will be nice for us.
I get pains as well, putting it down to a mixture of stretching etc and gas lol.

Had a scan. Baby very active and looked good, measuring 16+2. Having another girl! 😊

Ahh congrats @Rutennotou did you have any inkling it might be?

I'm definitely booking in another gender scan for 16 weeks.

Also I had my NHS dating scan last week, I thought they might rescan as I was only due to be 11+3 but they got all the measurements etc needed. I've booked in another private scan for this Friday where I will be 12+4. That's not unreasonable is it? I just want to have a scan that's over the '12 week' mark to lessen my anxiety. This pregnancy is one after 3 MCs so it's been playing on my mind alot.

Xx

@Rutennotou aww that's amazing news! I'm only 13+5 today, can't wait to find out the sex! Thinking of booking a private scan to check early.

Totally understandable. You've got to do whatever helps you through xx

Congrats!!

@Rutennotou congratulations that’s amazing!!! I’m 14 weeks tomorrow and having a early gender scan on 1st Feb when I’ll be 16+1 and I’m soooo excited xx

Thank you ladies! I had an idea it was going to be another girl so not too surprised. OH a bit disappointed it's not a boy as this is our last but he's coming round x

I've also just booked an early gender scan for 5th Feb, I'll be 16+4 then. Can't wait to find out!

@Rutennotou how many children do you have?

all the gender scans are making me happy 😃
I got a ‘no result’ from my nipt test so have had to book for an amniocentesis this week. It’s a bit sad but I guess I’ll get the sex from that as well (looking for the silver lining!)

Hello everyone! I've just had my 12 week scan and due 20th July. Im so excited but also battling a lot of anxiety about everything and anything going wrong. I really need to stop googling things...!!!!
Anyway, I'm waiting on private NIPT results which will hopefully also tell me the gender. Sending love and good vibes to all 😃💕

@MamaSJ15 I have two girls, a 16yo and a 21mo. Older DD isn't OHs. Can't really afford any more so this is the last one for that reason (mostly, I'm 35 in a few days and I've had enough 😅)

@septembersapphire7 How frustrating for you! Fingers crossed you get answers soon xx

@littlepeanuthopes I'm feeling the same, you're not alone ♥️

@rach971 Thank you! Feels nice to have other mummas who get it. Hope you're doing ok x
My first NIPT was inconclusive and just went for a redraw today so that's making things a little more nerve-wracking. Seeing his/her little face on that scan yesterday was everything though😍
