Ah mate this pregnancy thing is so difficult isn't it

Look at it this way - yes, things change all the time. I don't have the twinges anymore but I do have dizziness and nausea (bring back the twinges!). It changes on a daily basis, if not hourly.

But ultimately, apart from contact sport, there isn't a lot you can change about the outcome. Worrying certainly won't change anything other than making you stressed and anxious (which then affects sleep etc etc).

So be kind to yourself. Let the path just open up in front of you and follow it I know it's hard and there are just no guarantees in life. If my baby is going to be poorly again it has already been decided, before I even knew I was expecting again. I just have to go with it and see what is lined up this time for me.

Don't get me wrong I'm terrified of the next 7/8 weeks. Terrified. But I know that letting that feeling take over won't change a thing.

Post here and don't stress on your own We're all anxious but for different reasons We can keep each other sane

Thanks Gertrude, I've been feeling so positive up until today!

[gertrude]

Of course you are, it's getting close to the time it went wrong last time. It's only totally natural to be worried (and I'd be more worried if you weren't iyswim!).

But you can't change the outcome. Be kind to yourself. Just keep putting one foot in front of another and see what each day brings

I had hardly any symptoms last week. 6 weeks hit and bam, I'm as sick as a dog
Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

 

[5_Year_Plan]

I just said to DH "I just want to be sick for the next 7 weeks!!"

Really hope my symptoms step up soon.

Thanks guys

Xxx

 

[gertrude]

I know what you mean but you really don't

This is just such a long slog isn't it. My working today has helped with making the time go a bit quicker drs tomorrow so things will be a bit more real then.

Still totally bricking it.

Positive thoughts to everyone on the thread

I just feel like i have a horrible hangover- it's horrible. I've spent the majority of the weekend sleeping since I've been so uncomfortable. My emotions are also insane- poor dh. I havent actually thrown up yet, but come quite close. Also been having bad cramps come and go that still worry me. Hope this ends up being worth it! I'm gonna be so upset if i suffer through this only to lose it again...

 

[gertrude]

Hearing the heartbeat is a good sign though x

 

[cheezytrish]

I completely know what you guys mean. I'm super queasy but no throwing up, and a part of me wants to just feel ok again, and another part of me is going 'hooray! still preggers!!"

On a happy note, I'm 7weeks today - the longest I've ever made it!!

 

[ab75]

Cheezy I feel exactly the same, but as long as I feel like crap I know that my nugget is still in there. Yay to 7 weeks xx

 

[5_Year_Plan]

Yay for 7 weeks!

Last night & this morning I felt sick & thought I might puke any minute... I was like 'be careful what you wish for!' But yay, hopefully things are all good still

Meet our baby.
I am so so relieved. Baby is measuring bang on. We even saw a little heartbeat. Hubby and I cried our eyes out!

 

[5_Year_Plan]

Aww yay congrats! Hi beany!

Xxx

 

[gertrude]

Yay congrats! Am super pleased for you!

It's funny isn't it, I will have an early scan to get dates for my blood test. And whilst for most people that is a positive, a good thing, for me it will just make it harder because whilst baby may (or may not, who knows) be viable, they could still be poorly and have the same as my last one did

Sorry just thinking how things have changed, with my first it never even crossed my mind. With this one, it's all I can think about.

 

[cheezytrish]

Congrats on seeing your little bean for the first time!!

 

[gertrude]

Saw my Dr, she is going to refer me to the consultant so just wait to hear from her now.

As long as my early scan means I can know when 10 weeks is it's all fine.

Back to ignoring the whole thing again for me.

 

[ab75]

Got an early scan tomorrow, so scared xx

 

[5_Year_Plan]

Fingers crossed for tomorrow ab75

Gertrude that's a long time to wait, is it likely to happen again? I'm sure everything will be just fine- all we can do is try & be positive

Xxx

 

[gertrude]

Yes, there is an increase of it happening again. At 10 weeks I can have the blood test. Until then it's just a waiting game. I haven't signed in with my GPs practice midwives because until I know the outcome of the tests I don't want to engage with them.

Just a long waiting game really.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Fingers crossed Ab!
