[Button#]

Me too Nessaw. I swapped to individual vitamins and I've been fine. Plus the thought of swallowing a big vitamin tablet makes me feel nauseas now so I can't do it.

Well I got asked today when the baby was due I was so flummoxed I took she's answering then said February because I was so embarrassed!! She was a mum of 3 who's had 3 miscarriages though so I think she was highly attuned. I look for bumps and estimate age gaps of kids all the time. But today I've come home to drink a pint of hot orange juice to tackle this terrible constipation that's obviously making me look rather more preggers than I am!!

 

[hopingwaiting]

Started spotting last night and I figured this was miscarriage number 4 for sure. Had my first u/s today and unbelievably everything is looking good. Really can't believe it. Just can't even imagine having a baby in April. I guess it might actually be a possibility.

 

[Munchkin30]

Hoping - gorgeous bump. My acupuncturist told me I was 'blooming' tonight :duh:

Mowat - amazing news. So pleased for you. Your chances of mc have dropped so much seeing a heartbeat at this stage

My thought for the day....

 

[Button#]

Glad things are looking good Mowat.

 

[PrayingPixie]

Mowat - Yay! So glad everything looked good on scan! Did you BD lately? If so that might of caused the spotting! If you saw a hb and the cervix is closed then I think that's a really good sign that is well and will continue to be well! But as a normally chronic spotter myself, I totally understand the fear it causes. Just so thankful that you found good news on the scan instead of bad news.

Munchkin - Thank you for that pic. I need to keep reminding myself of that. I keep on fearing the worst without any obvious reason to (other than the recurrent mcs I've already been through) and need to remember that as of right now, there is no reason that it cant turn out and end differently this time (meaning a healthy little rainbow in my arms in about 8 months). So thank you, again, for posting that. I really needed it. Especially since my first scan is in 2 days and I'm about as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

Hoping - cute tiny bump going on there!

Button - How are you doing hun?

AFM, 7 weeks today! Just trying to deal with this nervousness and anxiety until my scan on friday. I am having these off and on little pains so I'm praying that they are from growth of the baby and uterus and nothing more sinister. Just 2 more sleeps! Roll on 29th! we see and a good healthy heartbeat!

 

[mowat]

Thanks everyone. Starting to feel a little bit hopeful!

Nice bump Hoping! I'm really starting to feel it today and I'm only 7 weeks!

 

[StillPraying]

Hello ladies!

Mowat yay for a good scan!

Praying those stich pains are normal! I had them with my DD. Mostly in my sides, pelvis and inner hip area. Fx for a good scan!

Munchkin love the pic. Definitely need to tell ourselves that every day.

Hoping cute mini bump!

AFM I bought a pair of maternity leggings so I can wear my loose tops.but my uniform for work is the bigger issue, I can't button my top 2 buttons because it's too uncomfortable but I'm not big enough for the maternity uniform. Idk how my belly is already popping out at 7 weeks. I'm not constipated and I don't feel bloated either! Anyone else dry heaving constantly?

 

[mowat]

Needed that pic today Munchkin, thanks.

I feel like I need maternity clothes too. Think I'm going to get pretty big pretty quickly this time.

 

[aknqtpie]

mowat - I am glad everything is looking good!!

I have had a little bit of ms.. but haven't gotten sick yet. Waking up in the middle of the night to go pee, and just really tired all the time. Hopefully those are all good signs.. of course I worry that they aren't good enough.. like my boobs don't hurt.. enough.. ya know?

Two weeks till I have my dr appointment, I can't wait for the reassurance.

 

[Button#]

I'm dead today, LO woke up 4 times last night.

 

[Munchkin30]

Eek sorry button

Akn i really feel your pain. Im constantly eondering if i'm nauseous enough etc, its horrid. With my mmc i remember feeling better abkit the time it would have stopped growing and i'm constantly looking out for that now.

I just got a call with my 12 week scan. 17th september. I'm terrified!

 

[StillPraying]

Button I definitely understand that one. I felt so bad because I passed out as soon as I got home last night....left DH to deal with the monster! Was supposed to go on a run with a friend too but I can't help it. I get home and I'm too naseous to move and to tired to do anything but just pass out! I'm going to try taking a nap on my lunch break and see if that helps.

Munchkin will that be the special scan for the heart?

 

[Button#]

That's good you've got your appointment Munchkin.

I'm just so glad LO had a nap today so I just laid on the sofa for two hours. Fortunately LO just wants to sit and watch TV now. I'm completely throwing out any rules on how much tv he's allowed to watch for now.

 

[Munchkin30]

Button my DD can now operate Netflix on her own because i'm letting her watch SOOOO much telly. I feel awful about it she's watched about 52 episodes of fireman sam in the past month.

Yes the scan is the specialist heart scan, i assume this is also my 12 week dating and booking scan but it's at a hospital in Birmingham an hour away from us so i hope they co ordinate the booking at my local hospital? Although i'll also have my 20 week and probably an extra 16 week scan in Birmingham before my growth scans which will probably be in my local hospital in Burton. That's because my daughter was a titch. The poor think will be radioactive by the time we've finished!

 

[hopingwaiting]

I have my 12 week scan almost at 14 weeks for downs and other things! on the 29th

 

[Munchkin30]

How annoying hoping! Mine have always been pretty much bang on 12 weeks. I'd be very cross if it was that late. Don't they have to do certain tests before 14 weeks?!?

 

[Button#]

I ate a bag of maltesers and don't feel sick yet, yay!

Munchkin - my scans will be all over the place and are a pita to get to. The hospital I'm booking in with is an hour by bus/train in one direction and the one my 12 week scan is in will be an hour by bus/train in the opposite direction. Only 15-20 mins by car but I don't have one any more. Luckily my 20 week scan should be at my local hospital which is a ten minute bus ride.
