'Pregnancy after Miscarriage - Latest support thread'

[tulipsunday]

Hi all new thread as the other one is about to max out.

For all those going through pregnancy after miscarriage/s. Come share your worries and celebrate your milestones with people who can relate to what you are going through 🥰

@SparkleFly it's just a day, I think you'll be fine... go wild and enjoy!

I've never really thought about chocolate being caffeine😬 I don't drink tea or coffee but I do have a can of diet pop a day usually and there's likely some choc involved too

@Nmvasey85 it's more that we'll be going to the shop after and buying all the mis-shapes which will be burning a hole in my cupboard when we get home.

@SparkleFly I think it would be wrong to return home without chocolate 😂 I'm having chocolate daily am a bit addicted but not having caffeinated drinks (gone off tea this pregnancy).

28wk growth scan went well. Baby isn't measuring big in terms of estimated weight atm so won't get any additional scans. One of the head measurements is at the 90th percentile but all others are less than 50%. Hoping my son was just big as was 2 weeks overdue 🤞

@SparkleFly I've switched to decaf tea and coffee, and mostly decaf coke but I'm still having a normal Diet Coke or normal tea if I'm out visiting places or I can't find decaf! I'm not counting as it's always way under the recommended, I'm not bothering to count chocolate or anything for that reason... I've prob been close or over the limit maybe 1 or 2 days but I def need my juice and chocolate 😂😂

I'm with @tulipsunday im having a bit of choc most days 😂

Glad the scan went well @tulipsunday hopefully no more additional scans! I'm hoping for the same 😂🤞 my bump seems to have popped recently so we shall see what I'm measuring on Wednesday but I just had a scan a few weeks ago so he can't have had a giant growth spurt or anything 😂😂

Scan was good! Baby was very active 😂 Measuring three days ahead.

Glad scans went well @tulipsunday and @TheBirdintheCave

The only thing I've cut down on are monster energy drinks but I've not had one since being pregnant!

I'm maybe having a glass of Pepsi max every day and I'm near enough having chocolate everyday too 🙈 I tried to have Pepsi max caffeine free but it just doesn't cut it for me 😂🙈, obstetrician didn't seem bothered when I said I'd have a can of Coke when I've got a headache, neurologist was there too.

@SparkleFly I agree with @tulipsunday you can't go to Cadbury world and not get any goodies 😂 I'm jealous you're going haha x

@TheBirdintheCave great news!

@Brokenpancreas94 I'm on the caffeine free coke which I haven't noticed much difference tbh! I will get Pepsi if they don't have the coke but loads of places don't do the caffeine free!

We're in the epicentre of this storm this weekend so it's chaos here! Just nipped to Tesco and there's nothing on the shelves cos there's no trucks getting in with food! So it's pizza for dinner tonight 😂

@suz2285 I think I'm just too fussy and because I know it's caffeine free, I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference if I didn't know if it was caffeine free, if that makes sense 😂

We had the storm yesterday, really windy and raining all day, today has been better a little bit of rain but just sunny and cloudy really! Haven't been out today, so no idea what our shops are like, but I know there's been a few fallen trees around our area!

@Brokenpancreas94 I know exactly what you mean 😂

We never get it bad when it's storms, usually a few trees and fences down but we seem to have been really bad with this one, roads swept away, main roads closed, sea is absolutely wild and flooding/foam everywhere! Shops have nothing in them cos the roads are cut off! Glad I could stay in or local most of the weekend!!

@suz2285 that sounds wild. Glad you can stay in and safe from the storm. Rainy off/on in South East today - son enjoyed a bit of puddle splashing 😂

@TheBirdintheCave great news about the scan and lovely to be measuring ahead!

@suz2285 that does sound crazy! It's very sunny and warmish here today!

Daughter wants to feel baby kick but every time she puts her hand on my belly he stops 😂 so far I'm the only one to feel him move 😂

@Brokenpancreas94 yeah my sis was wanting to feel him kick constantly while she was visiting 😂 she got a few good kicks though

That's her away home now so I'm gonna have a nice quiet night 😂🙈 been a busy few days even tho the weather has been shocking!

@suz2285 my daughter is too impatient 😂 she sits for a couple of seconds and then gives up 😂although he did kick slightly when she had her hand on but she claims she didn't feel it 🙈🙄

@Brokenpancreas94 yes that's what the husband is like too 😂 you need a good run of kicks so they're there at the right time! My sis said she expected them to be stronger kicks too but then she got a few bigger ones so she was happy!

I did a small ish jump off a low wall yesterday, god knows what I was thinking I obv forgot about the bump! Anyway when I landed I felt this pressure bump down on me, and my ligaments feel a bit aggravated now again 🙈 and I'm worried a bit! But seem to be ok 🤞 it was only about 2 ft max and didn't leap into the air or anything but yeah!

@suz2285 he's been having a bit of a party in my belly the last couple of days, so thought she would defo feel him but nope 😂 he stops when she touches and then as soon as she takes her hand off he moves again 😂

Oh no, I'm sure you're okay, just take it easy for the next few days! X

@suz2285 how are you doing today?

@Brokenpancreas94 mine often stops moving if my husband tries to feel. I have tried to encourage my son to feel but he doesn't really have the patience to wait or tends to say no thanks 😂 he is quite excited though about the baby coming though which is sweet.

@tulipsunday I love seeing how excited my daughter is, it's so cute! She doesn't like the name we have settled on though 😂😬🙈xx

@Brokenpancreas94 so you decided not to go with shlord? 😂 how dare you?! Is it Timmy??

@tulipsunday yeah I'm ok, slightly achy round the hips and neck but I think just learned a lesson about not over exerting myself when pregnant 😂 I'm taking it easy today! I've also been walking a lot over the weekend around the shops and outside more so than usual so I was meant to have Pilates today and decided not to go, so just having a quiet day!

@Brokenpancreas94 Aww I'm sure she'll come round to it once baby is here :)

My son keeps saying 'I have a baby in my tummy and it's making me sick :( ' because that's how we've been explaining my illness to him. He seems quite proud of this and says 'I have a baby in my tummy and YOU have a baby in your tummy but daddy doesn't have a baby.' 🤔😅

@suz2285 yeah not Shlord! She wants him to be called Timmy 😂🙈 she's announced that she's just going to call him that apparently. And then she said what about "Harry Styles" she knows me too well 😂😂
Yes take it easy woman! ❤️

@TheBirdintheCave well I hope so 😂 I don't think she will care once he's here! Yeah she keeps saying "oh mummy you're pregnant too" and gets excited when she hears someone on tv is pregnant 😂

Been a bit absent on here the last couple of weeks so just catching up on everyones posts 😅

My baby is the same, she will happily kick away for several minutes but the moment my partner tries to feel she stops! My little boy was exactly the same when I was pregnant with him to be fair 😅. I lifted my top up yesterday as I could see the baby moving in my belly and asked my little boy if he could see, he put his hand on my belly and I askee him what was in there and he said 'baby sister' which was really sweet 😍. I don't think he understands what that actually means though 😂

27+3 today and I feel so big now, walking takes it out of me and everything in my body just aches and feels stiff, only 13 weeks to go 🙄

@WhiteHorse92 aw that sounds so sweet! ❤️ with you on the weeks to go! I feel huge already and then there's like almost 3 months still to go 😂😂

@Brokenpancreas94 haha baby will just have to have several nicknames 😂

@TheBirdintheCave your son sounds super cute! Hope you're feeling ok?

@suz2285 Not too bad. The nausea has changed a little. It's now a bit more intense all day long but not much retching, which is weird.

He is very cute but he is also a goblin 😂

@TheBirdintheCave that's better I guess 😂

Aww a cute little goblin 😂

@suz2285 yes, he will 😂

I've got lovely heartburn now 🙈 but not sure if that's because I've stopped taking the medication that was stopping my hives
