@undercoverhero74 ive been feeling bloated since about 6 weeks. I’m 9+5 and today is the first day I haven’t felt horrendously bloated. I’m hoping it stays like this and eases up for you.

Hankthehonk · 10/07/2023 23:40

@Cheetocat That must have been scary for you, but great baby is doing OK and you saw the heartbeat. What did the health care team say that looked at you, are they happy everything is OK? Do you have another scan scheduled?

DmcinT · 11/07/2023 03:46

Wide away, overthinking every possibility for this scan today 🙈😩😞 I want to have it but I’m terrified of it at the same time

Mangotango39 · 11/07/2023 04:02

@DmcinT wishing you so many positive thoughts - it's all gonna be ok - get some rest if you can 🤗

Cheetocat · 11/07/2023 04:51

@Hankthehonk They didn't give me a lot of information, they put me on progesterone and they told me to go back for another scan on the 24th of July and I've also got another on the 11th of August. It's really scary to not know the cause of it. I had a loss at 11w last year after unexplained bleeding too, so I'm petrified.

Hankthehonk · 11/07/2023 07:47

@Cheetocat That's good they put you on progesterone, hopefully that will help.
I'm also pregnant after a miscarriage right now and my anxiety is through the roof so I understand. But you have plenty of reasons to believe things will be different this time and the baby will stay healthy. I know it's hard to be hopeful, and the next scan will feel very far away.
It's so frustrating how many things about pregnancy and loss they just can't explain

LalalaBubs · 11/07/2023 08:53

Wondering if this warrants a call to the EPU?

I've been spotting over the last week or so, very light and it usually disappears after a few hours.
This morning its a tiny bit heavier and I have very very painful abdominal cramps.

I posted the other day about losing at lot of symptoms but this morning am sooo nauseous and my boobs are killing. Im 9+4 today

Stressing about calling and hearing bad news and equally as stressed sitting here in pain.

I havent had my booking appt yet (its next Monday) so am I even allowed to call EPU this early?

Sorry for the silly questions but this is baby 3 and I've been blessed enough to not have been im this position before😔

sherbertlemon17 · 11/07/2023 08:57

@LalalaBubs please call the EPU. In my first pregnancy I saw the EPU before my booking appointment because I was bleeding. They won’t think it’s silly at all!

LalalaBubs · 11/07/2023 09:37

@sherbertlemon17 thank you, I called and have a scan later this morning to check whats going on xx
Will update you all later today

User0224 · 11/07/2023 10:06

Scan in half an hour…thought I’d be way less anxious second time around but nope !

LavenderSweetPea · 11/07/2023 10:13

@LalalaBubs I hope your scan goes well today.

I didn't message back yesterday as I was having a real turd of a day. I had a sudden, very heavy bleed (clots, you name it I saw it) and assumed I was having a miscarriage. Anyway had my scan this morning and baby is still measuring right on track (8+6), still has a heartbeat so they've said hold tight and speak to the midwife later today. They couldn't find a source of the bleed (even though I am still bleeding currently) and basically said these things sometimes happen, just rest and hope for the best.

Daisydoo12345 · 11/07/2023 10:24

@LavenderSweetPea I am 8+6 today too! Just curious…my due date is currently 14th feb but if we are both 8+6 how come (from looking at the list) yours is the 27th? Am I being thick? 😂😂

Meeting · 11/07/2023 10:25

@LalalaBubs @User0224 good luck with your scans today. @LavenderSweetPea sorry you're having so much confusion, they do like to try us in the first trimester!

I'm going for my first midwife appt today x

DmcinT · 11/07/2023 10:26

Just had my first scan and all looks great, strong heartbeat, and most importantly there’s just 1 baby 🥳🎉🎉 I can’t believe it, I really had myself prepared for the worst news again. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to be excited abt a scan again unfortunately but such a relief for today anyway

LavenderSweetPea · 11/07/2023 10:37

@Daisydoo12345 no I'm being thick I don't know why I put myself on 27th 🤣 I think I remember from previous thread with @MummyTo4BoysXXXX that we all had the same lmp of 8 May, so kind of 9+1 today isn't it? but I was measuring a couple of days behind at my first scan which was exactly 3 weeks ago when they measured me at 5+6 and I've progressed now to 8+6

All this to say I'm currently measuring with EDD of 14th as well

MrsC2711 · 11/07/2023 10:38

Congrats on the scan results @DmcinT and good luck to everyone having scans today.
@LavenderSweetPea , fab news… must of been scary before the scan.

@Cheetocat …. A few posts up before yours is mine and we seem to be going through the same thing so I can totally empathise with you! I hope you can get some clarity soon! I don’t think the nhs scanner is as good quality as the private one you know, even comparing the two scan pictures. If you’re feeling anxious about it why not try to get the scan earlier? They wanted to book mine in for two weeks but I stressed about my son, previous losses and anxiety and they have let me go 8 days instead. Always worth a call if you felt having the scan a bit earlier might help with the anxiety xx

Daisydoo12345 · 11/07/2023 10:41

@LavenderSweetPea yessss that’s me! I’m glad everything is going well for you! How nice would a valentines baby be! X

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 11/07/2023 10:49

So happy for those who had good scans! And @User0224 good luck for yours today

DmcinT · 11/07/2023 10:54

@MrsC2711 @Mangotango39 thanks ❤️ I know I’ll prob go back to worrying tomorrow but for today it’s eased a bit.

@Cheetocat im on progesterone as well, hope ur finding it ok, it’s relief u had the scan and all looked ok, how are u feeling?

@LalalaBubs best of luck for ur scan later and anyone else waiting on theirs today.

im actually in with EPU this afternoon for an early reassurance scan, it just so happened to be scheduled the same day but I’m not complaining as I’ll get to see our wee bean again, it was very hard for me lying back to get a good view of the monitor, my DH saw the heartbeat but I really couldn’t get a clear view

Mangotango39 · 11/07/2023 11:22

For those suffering the dreaded constipation - mine was so bad last week but my morning smoothie seems to be fixing the issue (if you can stomach this!)

  • frozen banana (take skin off before freezing lol!)
  • frozen raspberries
  • peanut butter
  • dates
  • almond milk (as much to your preferred thickness)
  • vanilla protein powder
so yummy!

I make something similar. I use frozen strawberries, normal banana, orange and some kefir

Mangotango39 · 11/07/2023 11:42

@Strawberry06 oh yum! I love smoothies!! The frozen banana gives such a good texture 😍

moosey89 · 11/07/2023 11:48

@Cheetocat I'm measuring 12 days behind expected dates - midwives said there's nothing to do but wait and see and hope. I had a missed miscarriage at 10+4 in my first pregnancy (this is my second) so I'm expecting it to end in a similar way, but you never know.
