It's been 7 weeks since mc but still not af...when to ring the GP?

[bobster]

hi there sorry for your loss...i had miscarraige on february 14, then found out i was pregnant again march 18, i had another miscarraig and had to have d&c at nearly 10 weeks, i was left with infection and tissue and had another d&c 4 days after the first one, has this ever happened anyone else and haev you gotten pregnant again. sorry to everyone who has had miscarraige it's so hard, but reading posts it will happen for sure xxxxx

Sorry to hear about your mc's. I'm sure this is a very common thing to happen although its not happened to me. Its very possible for you to get pregnant again. I think you should ask your doctor about whether you need to wait for a while before trying again as sometimes after a d&c they suggest letting your womb lining build up again before trying again. Good luck and we are here for support if you need to talk

First one is from 11 weeks, apologies for the undies I didn't expect to share but wanted to give you a bit of comparison and didn't take any other pics

Second is from today 16+2 weeks.

Do you think it looks like a baby bump or just a bit porky I can't decide? I've always had a belly as that's where I tend to put my weight on so not sure if it just looks like fat.

Jane, what time is your scan tomorrow? I'll be thinking of you, keep us posted as to how it goes.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend ladies

OMG I wish I had a cute bump like that! In the second photo it def seems more baby! I went straight from looking chubby to huge baby bump. I skipped the little bump phase.

 

[bobster]

I think I would prefer that Mack as at the moment I just look bloated! I love your bump, hope mine looks like yours in a few months! I can't believe you are a pumpkin already its so exciting. I am quite excited to be an advocado but will be jumping off the walls if (positive thoughts) when I get to a pumpkin!

 

[bobster]

P.s. Think I may have felt movement today. I was in a clinic room at work and felt a strange sensation in my abdo, kind of similar to a popping I guess. I'm not sure if that's movement but hoping so. I have felt it a couple of times since too very mildly!

Loving the bump photos ladies. Thanks for posting- gives me something to look forward too and in a way it's nice to see you (if you know what I mean), like you're real people, we've chatted for a good few months and you've been so supportive so it's nice to see partly what you look like (and bobsters undies) hehe

Bobster, scan is at 1.50 pm tomorrow, will post as soon as I get home. Really like seeing your bump comparison pics- and the second one is def baby not porky. I feel a little more rounded but it's only me that would notice it and I think it's mostly bloat/water retention and chocolate.

Thanks for the amazon links, will order one after tomorrow all being well. Think DH might see it as a waste of money but I don't want to hide it from him- hmmm after the scan tomorrow I will plant the seed in his head....

Hope you're not feeling too poorly today bobster and your cold holds off- rubbish to be sick on a weekend, especially a bank hol!

Ah bobster, your avocado is moving really lovely.

Hey ladies,

The scan went great, everything is as it should be and measuring spot on. Fast heartbeat, little wiggly movements and he's really taken a baby shape- 2 weeks ago he just looked like a sausage! The bleed that showed on the two earlier scans has also resolved itself.

So feeling very reassured about the lack of symptoms now and will try and relax.

Will post the pic later this evening when I get a chance to scan it in.

Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend.

 

[bobster]

Yippeee Jane I'm so relieved for you! Its amazing how much they change isn't it! I think you're having a girlie you know... They say girls have faster heart rates than boys. Can't wait to see your pic.

Meant to post you good luck earlier but Dan's mum got sent to A&E last night as she fell off a horse and fractured her pelvis! Luckily she's OK and now at home but it will take 6 weeks to heal. She was lucky to come away with that as the horse actually fell on top of her. Eek. So we went to visit today.

Happy for you and your growing bump Jane Have a good weekend ladies.

 

[GI_Jane]

oh my god bobster, your MIL was really lucky. Is she an experienced rider or was having a go for fun?- I find horses scary how powerful they look. Has that put her off for good now? Hope she is keeping her spirits up.

Here is the pic. The floaty bits down by his feet are the intestines which by 10-12 weeks should zip up inside the body. I'm totally convinced its a boy so if it turns out to be a girl it's gonna take some getting used too!

Sonographer also comment on how much gas I had in my stomach- yep feel so bloated!

Hope the sickness has eased for you bobster.

 

[bobster]

Yes she was lucky. She's an experienced rider but the horse hasn't yet been broken in. She's trying to do some work with her before she goes off to get broken in so its cheaper but I think they're going to leave it to the experts now. They have 2 horses and the other one is fine.

Oh gosh how cute is that scan pic! It looks so much more developed than your last scan. Can hardly believe the change in 2 weeks. I wonder why you feel yours is a boy. I have the same feeling about mine. I'm so convinced I think i'm going to buy some blue outfits soon. Will you find out do you think? We've agreed not to find out.

 

[mackjess]

the first scan I had the hb was 174 so I thought girl, but after I got farther along it got to the 150s and has stayed there. I really thought it was a girl though until the doc confirmed it was a boy.

 

[GI_Jane]

I'm tempted to buy one little baby grow after my 12 week scan (for positive thinking) but will stick to the neutral colours just incase I am wrong. My mum was convinced my sister was going to be a boy (she'd already had me and my brother by then so had symptoms to compare to) and they had only picked out a boys name, then out she popped!

I would like to find out but DH says he is indifferent with no strong views either way.

I know this sounds a bit crazy- but it didn't really hit home I was having a baby until that scan yesterday, I've never called it a baby out loud and I've been trying to remain detached from it in case I lose it. The previous scan pics were just blobs and balls of cells but this really had a baby appearance. In 2-3 weeks he will (hopefully) change again and look like your profile pic bobster, a baby clear as day.

Right, time to get in the garden. Loving this bank holiday weekend weather.

We Felt very responsible yesterday, a pregnant couple buying flowers and a hedge trimmer in the garden centre- give me a bump and it could have been a cheesy commercial. Not sure how DH and I got to be so grown up!

 

[GI_Jane]

Has your new house got a big garden Mlm? Is your doggy loving the new house as well? I really still like your pic of him from thanksgiving on your profile.

 

[GI_Jane]

Bobster, are you still getting married this summer?

 

[bobster]

Oh I know what you mean about feeling grown up. I also had a moment yesterday when we were buying a new duvet and pillows to fresheb the bedding up. Very grown up while we were browsing in bhs. Love it though.

I think I've only just started letting myself believe it too after the 12 week scan. Maybe a defence mechanism. Still have moments of not believing it now though but it helps that I can feel him moving.

Mack maybe our instincts aren't always right then. I think my scan pics look like a boy though. My other half has a very round head too lol. Do you have a pic of Finn from 12 weeks that I could see for comparison? I'm so curious but other half really doesn't want to know!

 

[mackjess]

Bobster, glad your MIL is on the mend. A pelvic break sounds incredibly painful!!

Here is my scan from around 11 weeks. Unfortunately their printer was REALLY crappy so it's very grainy.

Jane, glad it is getting more real for you. I know it took awhile for me. I didn't have a lot of symptoms and just felt bloated, so it's hard to believe! Now that I feel him kicking nonstop it's definitely sunk in!

 

[bobster]

Lovely pic Mack, I see what people mean about boys having rounder heads. Never noticed that before. Been finding myself staring at newborns looking at their skull shapes lol. The forehead on a girl is meant to be rounder too rather than sloped. I'm convinced mines a boy and would be gobsmacked if it ended up a girl.

 

[bobster]

Jane didnt see your question- think we will now postpone marriage until next year as I'd like to be thin... I think we agreed this year as we were both beginning to think it wouldn't happen for us. Hope you enjoyed your gardening and didn't get burnt in the sun! It's meant to be another corker today. Let's hope it stays!

 

[GI_Jane]

Sounds like a good plan bobster.

I'm officially booked in with the midwife now and had all my bloods done. 10 weeks today

Waiting for my 12 week scan date in the post now. Did you have your 16 week appointment bobster?
