Any summer 2016 babies?

[mitchnorm]

Sorry it was a fleeting visit to your thread...I was convinced this time was different. No heartbeat on scan.....stopped growing only yesterday measuring 8 weeks 6 days. I am beyond devastated. Obviously they want to check for molar again....I lost exactly same gestation last time so very nervous.

Took soy only 2 cycles before last loss and this was first month ttc with soy. Concerned that that is the common factor

Happy healthy pregnancies all x

 

[JJay]

Mitch I'm so sorry that's horrible news. Sending a big hug. Be kind to yourself over the holidays X

 

[dimmu]

Mitch I'm so terribly sorry. How devastating, and just before Christmas as well. Life can be so cruel sometimes. Please look after yourself.xx

 

[Miss Bellum]

Mitchnorm, I'm so very sorry for your loss

 

[Miss Bellum]

Hi ladies, hope you have all had a great Christmas eve, and have a lovely Christmas tomorrow.

Dimmu - Sorry you’ve still had bad sickness, hope it eases enough for you to have a lovely day tomorrow. I sympathise, I am still feeling pretty ropey too.I tend to fall asleep on the sofa by 9 which means I should probably go to bed earlier. Roll on second trimester hope thats better for us. I still have a ton of presents to wrap too.

Eva, sounds lovely so far. Fingers crossed the tests come back fine. Sorry you’ve been feeling rough too, hope you feel better soon

Jjay - hope you feel better soon, Does sound like it's been a tough week for us all. Hopefully things will get better soon. Shame you have to miss the meet up but probably best if you don't want to announce things just yet. Good luck with your tests. Thanks for the link, that's a great site.

Hi everyone,

I'd like to tentatively join you all if that's ok? I'm 35 and a bit behind most of you.... 6+1 today with baby #2. Feeling pretty nervous as it's taken 2 years and 3 Ivfs to conceive this one and I did have a bleed I just before 5 weeks. Anyway your thread looks really chatty so I'd love to join in.

Mitch I'm so sorry to read your post above, so heartbreaking. look after yourself lovely, I hope your rainbow follows soon xx

Hello, how is everyone? Hope you've had a wonderful Christmas with your families and loved ones.

Welcome along Mrs W and hugr congratulations!! When is your baby due, sometime in August I assume? Have you had many symptoms yet?

I somehow managed to get through the xmas day without feeling too bad, I even did most of the cooking and stayed up until 10 pm, that's quite an achievement these days!! Yesterday was the payback time then, and I probably felt more nauseous than I have done since my MS began, and my stomach was really sore as well from eating too much the day before. I hope my MS would now finally be peaking at 11 weeks and start to subside soon. I'm still in bed and scared to get up in case I start feeling as bad as yesterday. At the moment it's just mild nausea.
I have my NT scan on Thursday as well, pretty nervous and excited about that.

How are you all, how was the Christmas?

 

[minties]

I'm not 35 yet, but pretty close to it, and thought this would be a nice thread to read and join if that is ok? My baby is due at the end of July, which is actually the middle of winter here.

 

[Miss Bellum]

Hello everyone, hope you all had a lovely Christmas. We had a lovely relaxed time on the day, just went to my parents. LG really liked all her presents and keeps asking for more! Still feeling pretty nauseous here hope it clears soon.

Welcome Mrs W 11. Not surprised you are nervous given your history. Finger crossed all goes well for you this time.

Dimmu - Glad you had a lovely Christmas and you weren't feeling too bad on the day. I was pretty much the same, fine Christmas day but felt so rough Boxing day! I did wonder if it was due to overdoing things on the run up to Christmas, had a few late nights. Hope your MS is better soon. Not long to go till your scan, hope all goes well on Thursday. Can't wait to get a date for ours, hopefully should be soon.

Hi & welcome Minties! Mine is due at the end of July as well. Are you in Australia or New Zealand?

 

[dimmu]

Hello Minties, lovely to have you joining us! How has your pregnancy been so far?

Miss B glad to hear you had a nice relaxing Christmas! Although sorry to hear you also felt rough on boxing day. I definitely must have overdone it on xmas day with all the cooking and rushing around. How have you been feeling since? I felt quite ropey yesterday but managed to go out to the cinema with DH to see the star wars, our first night off this year! It was nice, and the cinema was lovely as well, they actually served you drinks and snacks to your seat before the film started. I wish I could have had a glass of red, never had one in cinema lol!

Anyway I hope you are all doing well.

Hey ladies,

I'm so sorry to read about your loss, mitchnorm I hope you get the support you need over the next days and weeks especially, and that you will have your rainbow baby not too far in the future xo. Hugs.

Welcome Miss W! When is your first scan?

Hi minties! I'm due mid-July, which is also winter here (Australia). It's currently really hot some days so I've ordered a few summery maternity things that I can wear over the next couple of months, since my current maternity stuff was more for fall-ish/winter weather, and that bump is starting to protrude a bit!

JJay (or anyone!) - are you taking pics to monitor your bump progress? I thought about doing that esp. since this is likely to be our last, but haven't bothered so far. Oh yes thanks for that site - I hadn't seen it! Too bad you have to wait until Jan. 7 for your results, I hope the waiting isn't too painful!

dimmu that's great that your Christmas day went relatively well! But sorry the next day was extra rough. Sounds like a nice movie date though! Will have to go back when you can enjoy that glass of wine

Miss Bellum, sorry you are also having a rough time of it. I love going to bed early these days when I can. I should get off the computer now! Hope your nausea lessens soon.

Good luck with the scans on Thurs! Do you think you'll know any tentative results right away? I have my 12 week scan on Wed and I'm hoping the sonographer can tell me *something* at least! I guess it will take a while for the bloods which I hope to do Wed as well.

 

[Miss Bellum]

Hi ladies hope you are all well. I have been OK today which I hope doesn’t mean a bad day tomorrow.

Dimmu - Sounds like a lovely cinema trip! Was it a Cinema De Lux? I love going to the directors hall, feels like a really special treat. Did you enjoy the film? I always avoid wine in the cinema, too likely to sleep during the film!


Eva - I haven't been taking any photos, I'm a bit too self-conscious. But I think I will need to tell people when I go back to work next week as during the last week, I have really bumped out! I am going to need to go on a shopping spree too. Hope you scan goes well, I cant wait to have mine. We are just having a dating scan though so just hoping to be told on the day everything is OK. So nerve wracking having to wait.

 

[dimmu]

Good morning everyone! Hope you are all doing well.

I had another good day yesterday, so maybe this really is a turning point. I went for a long walk and it didn't make me feel too bad, although I kept sipping water throughout. I haven't been able to do any kind of exercise for weeks, so it was nice. I used to do some jogging before I got pregnant but doubt I'll get back to that. Brisk walks will have to do in the coming months. Is any of you doing any exercising?
I also had a small cup of coffee yesterday, and I felt like having another one this morning so had some decaf coffee. I'm usually a coffee junkie but haven't touched the stuff for weeks, even went off coke.
But of course now I'm also worrying about the symptoms going! I did feel nauseous last night, just not as bad as the previous nights, so maybe the worst of the MS is behind me now..

Eva I've taken some photos of the bump, not over the xmas though, but I can't really see any progress yet. It's just one big bloat that gets worse in the evenings!!! It still disappears when I lie down flat on my back, so no real bump there yet. I think if my scan goes ok on Thursday I might go and get a couple of maternity dresses and maybe jeans this weekend, after all the sales are on at the moment!

Miss B it was Everyman Cinema, a small independent chain. I'm also prone to falling asleep in cinema so maybe a glass of wine wouldn't be a very good idea anyway!!!

How are you all doing, any nausea still?

 

[Mrs W 11]

Hi everyone, thanks for all the welcomes!

Dimmu - you did well doing all of the cooking on Xmas day! I couldn't face it, dh cooked and cleared up so our guests must think I'm just a lazy cow!! Good luck for your scan on Thursday!! No chance of any exercise here, I can barely get out of bed!! Was the same in previous pregnancies, gentle walks are all I can manage and maybe some yoga or swimming when I get some energy back. I don't know how some ladies carry on doing hard core exercise when pregnant!!

Hi minties! Where do you live?

Eva - I did weekly bump shots with my dd pregnancy and it was so lovely to have at the end, I will def do it again this time.... Maybe starting in a few weeks!

Hi miss bellum- sorry to hear you've been feeling rough too, hopefully you ladies will start feeling better very soon as you head out of first tri!!

I'm jealous of you ladies doing maternity clothes shopping, really excited to get to that point again!! I'm 6+4 today and baby should be due 20th August. I don't know if I said in my first post that I had a bleed at 4+6 and several days of spotting afterwards so I've been really nervous but got an early scan tomorrow and praying we might see a heartbeat. I am feeling really nauseated and drained but in that annoying place where I feel grim but don't want to moan about it as I know these are good signs!!

 

[JJay]

Hi Everyone, hope you all had lovely Christmases

Sorry I've not posted for a few days, we've been staying with family so busy days and I've been so exhausted. I've checked in and kept uptodate but not had any energy to post. I can't wait for this phase to end - I could literally sleep all day if I was able!

Welcome and congratulations Minties and Miss W Miss W, I hope your scan goes well tomorrow, will be thinking of you. The first trimester is so stressful. Your nausea and tiredness sound like good signs and i think spotting is common.

Dimmu, glad you are starting to feel better, you're a little bit further in than me so I'm hoping recovery is round the corner. I'm lucky I've not been sick like you but I am stupidly tired all of the time and just don't feel like doing anything. Your cinema sounds good - we are going to see Star Wars tomorrow night and have booked gallery seats at the odeon. There is a bar so DH can enjoy a few drinks and I can enjoy the unlimited snacks and quality street! I'm going to try and get an afternoon nap so I don't fall asleep!

Miss B I've not been taking bump shots this time either. I did a montage first time around but started off a lot slimmer, at the moment I think people would wonder if I'm fat or pregnant so I think I will wait a couple more weeks and then get a nice bump shot instead of a flabby looking one! When is your dating scan?

Eva, good luck for your scan tomorrow! It's a busy week for scans on this thread with two tomorrow then Dimmu on Thursday. Mine isn't until the 14th Jan which seems a while away. I'm just focusing on my serenity test results first. I feel a little bit in limbo until I get them. I don't want to tempt fate by buying any maternity stuff or baby stuff in the sales until I know everything is ok. It's silly really as I didn't do any testing in my previous pregnancies and felt fine, and I wouldn't be again this time if these new tests didn't exist.

Other than waiting for the tests I feel fine about the baby as I'm listening to the hb on my Doppler every couple of days. Also it seems really early but I swear I have felt a couple of little movements in the last couple of days. It feels exactly like I remember before and can't think what else it would be? I was around 16 weeks with DD and 13 weeks with DS so it does seem very early.

Has anyone decided if you'll find out the gender? We will stay team yellow as we have done before but it's weird this time as the results will come back with the serenity test and be held on file at the clinic so I could know any time if I wanted!

 

[MeganS0326]

Hi ladies! Do you mind if I join you? I just got my BFP and won't be due until early September but I live in South Texas so that is still summer here. Lol.

dimmu, I sent you a PM back in November when you first got your BFP to ask you some questions about Soya. I ended up taking it for the first time this cycle. I was convinced it didn't work because I started with a low dose and had a super late O but here I am, pregnant!!

 

[JJay]

Hi Megan, welcome and congratulations again!

I got a lovely surprise this afternoon! The clinic rang to say the serenity results are back early and they are all fine. So happy!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Jjay - great news about your test results! I've not heard of serenity tests, is it a genetic test? Wow that would be early for movement but they do say it gets earlier with each baby so hopefully it was!! We didn't find out gender with our dd, but this time dh wants to find out and I'm not sure!!

Hi Megan, welcome and congratulations!!

Eva how was your scan?

We had our early scan today and all was well. Over the moon, we saw a baby measuring 6+6 with a lovely heartbeat!! Still early days but feeling very happy. X

 

[JJay]

Thanks Mrs W really pleased to hear your scan went well it's so lovely to see that heartbeat!

My DH would also like to find out now but I think I'd like to wait.

 

[eva1978]

Hi everyone!

JJay that is excellent news about your results! How wonderful, what a great way to end 2015! Did you enjoy Star Wars?

So many scans lately - good luck Dimmu, hope it all goes well! Sounds like (hopefully) your nausea has already reached its high point and hopefully now you start to feel better. I also went off coffee for a few weeks with this pregnancy which I never did before, even when I felt bad. This time it was just a bit different (not even worse, just different). I've started now having the odd cappuccino in the mornings when I can stomach it!

Miss Bellum - how have you been feeling?

My scan yesterday was great. It lasted about 15 minutes and the sonographer showed me many parts of the baby. He/she was jumping around a lot The NT scan part measured about 2 mm, which is good news (I guess you want < 3 mm). The full blood results I won't know until next week or so, but so far I'm feeling pretty relieved.

Like most of you I haven't done any bump shots yet this time. I did some with my first, and only a couple with my second... Maybe I'll do a few with this one if I get organized, lol.

With the gender - so far we're planning to stay team yellow, but that could change. With our other two I wanted to know to feel a bit more prepared about what to expect and what types of names to concentrate on. We may go old school this time though, since we really don't have a preference/wish for any particular gender.

Mrs W that is great about your scan results!! It's so sweet to see the heartbeat!

Congrats Megan on your bfp!

Exercise... I would like to do more of it but sadly I'm also feeling pretty inactive lately. Just so tired and finding the time on top of that. Though when not pregnant I try to do at least 2 days of activity a week (usually running for 30 mins). I'm also part of a zumba class but I've been a bit sporadic, though I'll try to keep going for a few more months if I can. Currently I only manage to run about twice every 3 weeks (and hardly any zumba)! I've gotten less active with every subsequent pregnancy I started some "planking" last year so I try to keep that up a bit, but honestly I'm too lazy most of the time! Or I forget!

I wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year's Eve and start to 2016!
