BFP after recent loss (Thread 2) 🌈

[MrsB2019x]

Continuation thread for BFP after recent loss. All welcome!

No, I noticed yesterday that she hadn't posted since Monday and so I put a post on the old thread saying I hoped she was okay. I don't know if it would work to tag her on a new thread that she hadn't joined yet, which is why I put it on the old one. I hope everything is alright xx

Hi everyone! I’m okay 😊 Thank you so much for thinking of me. It’s making me well up (along with everything just now haha). You’re all so sweet.

I’ve just been soo tired and also feeling a bit rubbish about myself. I’m just eating on demand basically and it’s making me so bloated and feel like I’m putting on 1000 pounds. I feel so unattractive 😔 Need to go to a wedding next weekend and I have no idea what to get to wear.

Otherwise I’m okay 💜 Bouts of nausea here and there but nothing too bad. Mainly just feel exhausted and a bit useless or something 😂

I’m sorry I’ve missed lots of updates! I’m finding it hard to catch up.

@CosmicLove and @Lemonbalm8 I hope your spotting is doing okay. It’s always such a worry but never forget you’ve had lovely scans 💜 So sorry they cancelled your scan Cosmic - that really sucks!!

@MrsB2019x thank you for making this new group!

@Rockyslife good luck with your nipt today! 💜

Glad you're okay @purplecolouroffunk 💜 sorry to hear you've been feeling a bit rubbish this week. I can completely relate to that bloated feeling! I know it's hard but I think just taking your body's lead and eating when it wants to eat is a good thing. You're obviously needing the fuel so I'd just go with it! I'm sure things will settle down as the weeks pass. Could you get a nice light floaty dress for the wedding? It's important to be comfy xx

Hey everyone, nipt bloods all done just got to wait for the results which take up to a week. Baby was dating 10 weeks 2 days and looked beautiful in there. I’m just still in amazement that we’ve made it to 10 weeks and have an actual baby wriggling round in their happy for now. How are we all feeling today x

That's wonderful news @Rockyslife ❤️ so pleased for you. Still feeling pretty sick today but I'm about to have a couple of potato waffles thanks to @MrsB2019x 's suggestion and I'm very excited! Hoping the days pass quickly for you and you have your reassuring results very soon. Am I right in thinking it's a scan so date the pregnancy / ensure all well and then just a blood test? Xx

@CosmicLove ooooo potatoe waffles those sound delicious 🤤 I might try. With some beans 🫘 yeah so had to have a scan and then bloods. Scan showed viable baby dating 10 weeks 2 days xx

Lovely news @Rockyslife , hope the week goes quickly and the results come back all ok! X

@Rockyslife what a great picture! It looks like a very cosy baby tucked away in there xx

Hi
I'm 44, 2 DC, 3MC's
Currently 7+ weeks
Reassurance scan on Monday 🤞

@Rockyslife that's a comfy looking little soul. Glad today went well.

Welcome @N123C! Hope you find this a reassuring and supportive space.

Covid update from me: bit weary, starting to cough up some EPIC green snot, partial loss of taste (I can taste salty things fine, but more acidic tastes are just gone - fruit tastes like cardboard) and I'm coming up in great big itchy weals which is especially unpleasant. Still bleeding a little bit but that's absolutely to be expected and it's looking older.

@Rockyslife Omg that picture is amazing! So made up for you💖

Welcome to @N123C ❤️ I'm sorry for your previous losses. I also have a scan on Monday due to spotting. Can't come quickly enough!

For those of you around 9 weeks - how is your tummy looking / feeling? Besides bloating or overeating. Are you feeling any larger than usual in the lower abdomen or noticing no difference yet? I'm not feeling any larger and it's making me worry. Maybe just still too early though. I can't remember what it was like with DD at this time. What are your thoughts? Xx

@CosmicLove i felt the same last week felt the less bloated I had done since finding out. This week I look 12 weeks pregnant and haven’t hardly ate today apart from my meals. Don’t stress I think your bloat/body comes and goes and gets a bit thicker later on, apparently the sonographer said some lady’s don’t show or look different til week 14 how crazy is that xx

Welcome @N123C hope you find this group as supportive as I have! So sorry for your losses ❤️

@Rockyslife what an amazing scan photo! Makes me excited as I should be 10 weeks when I go for mine next Thursday and I've never been that far before!

@CosmicLove I'm 9+2 and I'm so bloated! I'm a size 14 but always has a bit of a belly but this is crazy, and I'm barley eating so even though baby is the size of a grape I'm saying it's all baby 🤣 is your username from song down bad? Xx

Glad I’ve inspired some potato waffle love 😂

@Rockyslife That picture is so beautiful, they look so snug!

Glad to hear all is well with you @purplecolouroffunk, I’m totally feeling you on feeling gross. I just feel porky not
pregnant! And my skin is vile. I’ve had no energy to re-dye my hair which is making me
pasty. My poor husband 😂 Hopefully we’ll feel a bit more human in the next few weeks

@CosmicLove I definitely have a larger belly but I think it’s just bloat from the cyclogest tbh. Though one of my colleagues did guess I was pregnant yesterday 🫣 Attached my 9 week “bump” pic from the other day

Welcome @N123C and good luck for your scan on Monday 🩷

@MrsB2019x I've been on cycolgest 400mg twice a day since 5 weeks and I'm 9 now. Does that make you more bloated? No one ever told me anything about it I just got prescribed it without even seeing the consultant 🤣 my tattoos are a dead give away so if anyone knows me they'll know this is me but most people know now anyway since I've been off work sick 🫶🏻

Thanks ladies 🙏 I'm sure you're right and our bellies will fluctuate with hormones etc - it's just so hard not to be hyper aware of everything and turn tiny things into irrational worries! @torturedpoet13 it was actually inspired by the Florence and the Machine song Cosmic Love, and also I love anything space related so it was a wee nod to that too 🪐💫

Hey gals! Sorry I’ve been so quiet too, so much to catch up on! Just been trying to survive out here lol😩

Had an absolutely horrendous day at work a couple days ago, secretly throwing up allll day 🤢😭 haven’t told anyone we’re pregnant yet, just in case the worst was to happen, didn’t want to have to go through with telling everyone you know…. So been suffering in silence at work and it’s been ROUGH

I’m 8+1 today and finally got booked in for by booking appointment in just over a weeks time, wish time would hurry along cos hopefully will have had our 1st scan within the next 4 weeks😍😃 super excited but naturally very nervous too.

@Rockyslife that scan is amazing, so clear too. What a cute little bean, congrats 😍

@CosmicLove @Lemonbalm8 sorry to hear you girls have had some more spotting. Hope it eases off soon and you get some reassurance🤗

but sounds like we’re all doing ok ladies we’ve got this ✨💕

@CosmicLove I'm not any larger either! In fact some mornings I wake up super flat, but then the bloat returns and I just feel really big, but I know there isn't a bump just yet x

@Mommabear96 @torturedpoet13 is anything helping with the MS? I am so sorry you're feeling so sick, i cannot imagine having it all day.
@N123C welcome! I hope your scan goes well and you can get some reassurance, only 3 more sleeps. As someone who also had a few MCs, I really hope it's our time and I want to believe it will be ok.
@Persipan hope you feel better soon and this COVID has a short lifespan. You must be exhausted, hope the weekend is restful

Thank you Lemon 💛 I don't feel I've had the pregnancy bloat much at all and I definitely don't have a bump yet. Glad it's not just me! Xx

I have only been on the cyclogest for a day, but it definitely has made me more bloated!

Until today I had recently been waking up less bloated but increasing throughout the day. The bloat definitely makes me feel a bit naff and I've not felt myself either, we're all in this together😂 We definitely will feel a lot more 'normal' soon, hang in there 👊🏼💖

@CosmicLove & @Lemonbalm8 I've had days where I've woken up with a literal flat stomach. I convinced my partner it was all over because of it before my scan, that along with the spotting. Felt really guilty but obviously so happy when we came out of there haha😂

I've heard the baby/uterus is still embedded in the pelvis until 12 weeks or even more💖
