Due January Part 4! 🎉

[Redpanda21]

I can’t see a new part 4 as part 3 is now at 1000 replies!

One week to go until our first scan! First pregnancy, and whilst I had some anxiety at the beginning that’s settled down a bit and this will be the first time we see bub!

I, we, have been narrowing down a list of nurseries but my god are they expensive, several of them are circa 90 a day (full price) with the cheapest being about 75. We’re really hoping that the free hours Hunt has announced is so politically sense it ive that irrespective or what party gets in, they have to stick with it.

Just hoping there’s only one in here because if it’s two, we are so royally f*ed financially it’s scary.

Hope you get your results quickly @Matildahoney sending lots of love x

@LittleAlien24 I have a nearly 18 year old and 15 year old as well as a 2.5 year old and apart from being chunkier I honestly don’t feel any different from my 20’s. I mean I look knackered and feel knackered so visually I probably look haggard ha ha but isn’t that a given with kids anyway ? My mam had me at nearly 40 and she always said the same. Apart from my eye bags I certainly don’t think I’m a old mam, I think kids keep you young 😀

@Dannic2018 yup, kids keep you young. My 18 and 16 year olds always tell me that im not old. We now have a joke at home with this (started before i got pregnant) lol if i feel tired or have some pain etc my OH laughs at me- well at your age you know 😂

Sorry @Matildahoney that you didn’t get the results you wanted. Hopefully the NIPT results are quick xx

I’ve got my nuchal scan tomorrow morning then straight to see perineal midwife.

I’ve got my private scan and NIPT tomorrow morning and I’m terrified. I’ll be 10 + 2 but I’m just freaking out as my viability scan had me 6 days behind, I’ve had no symptoms aside from bloating and today that’s gone. I just can’t shake the words ‘MMC’ from my mind and it’s taking over my thoughts. Glad I’ll know either way tomorrow, I guess.

@Mummyme87 @ItsAJourney all the best for tomorrow

Good luck for tomorrow @Mummyme87 @ItsAJourney x

Good luck today @Mummyme87 and @ItsAJourney

I know we've spoken about this before @ItsAJourney but just a reminder that I was 6 days behind at what should have been 6+6, and I've had minimal symptoms this time compared to my other pregnancys. I was beside myself convinced it would be another mmc but baby had completely caught up at 10+3 nipt scan! I'm sure it will be the same for you x

Good luck @Mummyme87 @ItsAJourney 🥳

Has anybodys sickness suddenly calmed down as they enter into 2nd trimester?

I'm 11 + 4 and still throwing up everyday, somebody give me hope it will stop soon!

@Luhou still throwing up most days but def nowhere near as much and I feel almost normal the rest of the time (13+2).

@Luhou mine has definitely eased off, still having moments but nothing like I was. 13 weeks & 2 days now. Also had my first full nights sleep last night since finding out I was pregnant 🥰

@buckingmad and @Flossiepot thanks ladies you've given me some hope it will ease in the next few weeks, full night sleep sounds wonderful too!

I bought a maternity coat in the Next Sale this morning. Cheaper than others I've seen and last time round I got away without a coat (october baby) was £98 down to £38.

@Luhou Still feeling super queasy, but I remember with DS it was 18 weeks before I stopped feeling sick and 16 weeks with DD so hopefully it'll be 14 weeks with this one! And thanks for the link to the coat! That is a really lovely coat!

Thanks @cossie13 I was simillar with DD, and then I had a few weeks of peace and then about 30 weeks it came back!

Oooh good point about a maternity coat. DD is an august baby so didn't have this problem last time!

@Luhou Oh god, sincerely hope it doesn't return later this time!

I've had to order a load of maternity work clothes already as I don't fit in my blouses or anything! I've just had a look and there are a few maternity coats on Vinted too!

@cossie13 I'm exactly the same, although haven't told work yet so trying to keep reasonably covered. I've got an George Asda order arriving today full of work stuff. We wear uniforms wear I work so I'll need to tell them soon. My scan is in 8 days, hopefully I can last until then!

@Luhou Oooo, I hadn't thought about asda for maternity clothes!

Loveleggings are the best for maternity leggings. I bought two pairs last time and lived in them. I'm going to order another colour for this pregnancy. Not see through at all.

H&M are good for work maternity stuff and dresses. Topshop maternity jeans are good too.

I'd also suggest hanging on buying nursing bras if you're planning on breastfeeding until your milk comes in. My boobs literally tripled in size when my milk came in and everything I had bought was too small. Plus for those in their first pregnancies, your rib cage expands so I went up a couple of band fittings too.

@buckingmad oh god if my boobs triple in size I'll not be able to stand up 😂😂

Thanks so much all for all the good wishes.

I’m afraid it’s bad news and as I was worried about, I’ve had a missed miscarriage. Can’t really work out when as the baby was measuring smaller than it did at the viability scan so can only assume it was a few weeks ago. Waiting for the EPU to call me to discuss next steps.

Thanks all for the support over the last couple of months. I wish you all the best with your pregnancies.

Oh @ItsAJourney I am so, so sorry 😔
