March/April Spring Rainbows

[Kazy]

I'm doing pretty well. Ms is easing up the last few days which is typical for me to happen at 9 weeks (8wk5d today) but still makes me nervous. I still have slight nausea which is the only symptom I ever have aside from fatigue. I am trying my.best to enjoy each moment. It's for sure my last baby.
6 days til my next scan!! We may tell our kids after that.

Crazy.story. my husband and I have been talking about names and he has a boy name that he loves. Well my 2nd son came up.to me twice- once he was begging me.to have another baby saying our youngest is getting too big. Then about a week ago he came and kissed my belly.and said "mom, I really really want just one more baby please. I wsnt a brother and we can call him...." insert name my hubby picked!!! I was so shocked I didn't even know what to say.
I know all is in God's hands but I have to remind myself of that on a daily basis.

 

[mrs unicorn]

Aww Kazy that's lovely! Do you like the name too? Do you have any inklings as to whether it's a boy or girl (think we might have chatted about this on another thread) they do say kids have a wierd intuition about these things!!

 

[klabro]

Sweev-Welcome! Looking forward to hearing your scan results!! I also was bumped back at my first scan, only by 4 days though which I honestly kind of figured would happen. I don't have another scan until September 13 though. I have an appointment on Monday, but I don't think they will do a scan maybe just listen in for heartbeat with the doppler.

MrsUnicorn-Sorry you are feeling the nausea, thats the worst!! But also oddly reassuring haha. I don't like when I feel nauseous, yet when its gone I stress about it coming back. No more spotting for me luckily.

Kazy-my symptoms have also majorly died down which seems to happen for me around 9 weeks as well. That is such cut story about your little boy. My daughter and I went to a movie the other day and she just reached her hand over and rubbed my stomach and said "mom, I really think you have a baby in there" She has been asking me several times and I catch her rubbing my stomach at odd times and I do not talk about it at all in front of her. She has also been begging for a sibling. We are holding off on telling her. The twin loss last year was really hard on her because we were getting her excited for her brother and sister and it crushed her when we had to explain that they had died. She is so sweet she told me the other day "mommy, maybe you should ask for one baby next time, maybe two just doesn't work" She is so sweet and I am so worried about putting her through all of this again.

Kazy - What a cute story!!

Ms Unicorn - I hope you feel better soon!

Klabro - I really hope that doppler picks something up for you at the next visit, that would be very cool!

AFM - I had my scan this morning and they saw.... nothing. Nothing in the uterus, nothing in my tube ( I only have one) and nothing on my ovary... so nothing. I know nothing new. I'm seriously mentally exhausted. I havent had any blood in almost 24 hrs.. and there is no possible way I have bled enough in the last week to have fully miscarried... it was only ever thre when I wiped. I'm at a total loss. waiting for the doc to call and I guess I'll keep getting my blood taken.

 

[Kazy]

Messy- oh my. I'm so so sorry. The uncertainty must be so difficult. Thinking of you and hoping you get some answers soon.

Klabro- how sweet! I know what you mean about telling them. I had a mmc that my 3 older knew about. Then a vanishing twin which we had also already told them about. I can't stand the thought of them hurting. But my belly is getting bigger.... someone at the store today kept asking about my kids, how many I wsnted, had, etc. And kept looking at my belly. I swear he kept asking because he thought I was pregnant and didn't want to ask. I know we can't keep it a secret much longer.

Mrs unicorn - I like the name but it's starts with the same.letter as my girls names and seems almost too close to my youngest daughters name. So I don't know yet. But he's sold on it! I have no idea boy or girl. And I always guess wrong. Ms makes me think girls since I didn't have any with the boys but like I said....I'm always wrong lol.

Messy I'm so sorry to hear this praying for peace and comfort untik you get some answers

Happy to hear everyone is getting on well. I have officially missed my period which is a huge milestone after 3 chemicals, I haven't taken a digi in about 3 days but the last one I did take said 2-3 so I was very pleased and it gave me some hope. Now if we make it to 7 weeks that will be an even bigger milestone as my last eaely mc was at 6w exactly. I'm just praying this little bug sticks. I am going to be scheduling my first appt soon but it can't come soon enough!

 

[mrs unicorn]

Messy - I'm so sorry to hear that. I can't imagine how stressed out you must be. Did they not offer you any explanation of what could be going on? Really hope you get some answers soon. Xxx

Klabro - aw that is so sweet! And bless her for saying maybe you should ask for one baby next time. She sounds absolutely adorable.

Kazy - I feel like I've 'popped' a bit too. Two days ago I woke up with a little belly and it's not going. As this is my first I'm guessing it can't really be any kind of real bump but it does actually make me look pregnant not just like I've eaten too much! We have some family coming over next weekend for my birthday and I'm not sure how I'm going to hide it. Might have to find a baggy top from somewhere!

Abii - yey for missing af! Try to keep yourself busy these first few weeks till your first appointment. Hopefully they'll fly by. I think we all have these milestones, I think they are great stepping stones to get us through the first tri.

 

[mrs unicorn]

My scan went well! Baby is a whopping 1.6cm now! Cannot believe it's tripled in size since last Thursday! A lovely strong heartbeat too! Measuring at 8w so closer to my lmp dates now. Totally over the moon

 

[SweetV]

Messy - I'm so sorry you are going through this.

klabro - I went through the same with my eldest when we lost his brother. He was so excited for a sibling and heartbroken when he died. We didn't tell him about the next baby until I was 20 weeks as it was getting harder to hide.

Kazy - My husband and I had a deal last time that if it was a boy he got to pick the name. I wasn't 100% on it but it's grown on me. It is also close to our eldest's name, not the same really but similar.

Abii - hopefully the next few weeks pass uneventfully for you!

mrs unicorn - I lived in baggy clothing for my last pregnancy. We didn't tell anybody until after 24 weeks and it was getting impossible to hide it anymore.

afm - scan was very quick yesterday. They don't really say anything but it was nice to see baby for a second and a nice heartbeat. All she showed me was the head and four limbs and I got an absolutely horrible picture but I should get another chance for an ultrasound in 4-6 weeks when I get my first appointment with the high risk clinic.

 

[klabro]

Kazy-I have had people looking at my belly too and I just keep pretending like I don't notice even though I know I look very obviously pregnant at this point haha!

Abil-Yay for that first milestone!! Although it feels like time is going slow, looking back it hasn't been so awful. Can't wait to hear about your first appointment!

Congratulations on the scan Mrs Unicorn!! Such a wonderful relief after every scan!

Sweetv- So glad you got to see baby and heartbeat, sorry it was a bad pictures though! Yeah, it is already hard for me to hid this time. When I delivered the twins I was already measuring 27-28 weeks so I had already stretched quite large. This time my belly popped almost instantly. Then the bloat went down for a couple days, but I can feel my uterus and I know I'm definitely measuring ahead of where I am at this point. Its easier for me to hide from people because our family doesn't live close and I don't mind just letting strangers speculate.

And lastly-I am finally in double digits today!! 10 weeks. I'll feel much more relieved if I can hear a heartbeat on Monday at my appointment.

 

[MessyTess2016]

Morning Ladies,

Shortly after I got home from my scan last night I began to miscarry. I'm sad and yet somehow not surprised this happened again... it just feels like this may never be in the cards for us. I wish you all a happy and healthy nine months.

All the best.

xoxo

Tess

 

[klabro]

Tess-I am so sorry you are going through this. We are here for you if you even need to vent or talk. Please don't give up hope. I have a very good friend who had 2 miscarriages (a year apart) and then went on to have 2 healthy pregnancies directly after. Please take care of you right now, I will be thinking of you

 

[Kazy]

So sorry messy. Im.so devastated for you. Don't give up hope! Praying you have your rainbow soon.

 

[mrs unicorn]

Tess - I am so sorry. Take all the time you need to heal and take good care of yourself. Don't give up hope, you will get your rainbow soon. We are all here anytime you want to talk, don't feel like you have to go through this alone. Sending your way. Xxx

 

[raine87]

I'm so sorry Messy. Take care of yourself. Keep in touch.

 

[SweetV]

klabro - I'm lucky that I'm only a few months postpartum as people just assume that I haven't lost any weight yet Yay for double digits!

Messy - I'm so sorry. Please take time to heal but don't feel that this is the end of your road. I had 2 miscarriages followed by a stillbirth followed by 2 miscarriages and then a fluke of a totally uneventful pregnancy that gave me my handsome rainbow. Sometimes things take time and the road is hard with little explanation.

 

[Abii]

Messy my heart goes out to you during this time of healing, I am so sorry you are going through this

 

[klabro]

Hello ladies,
Had my appointment today. She couldn't find the heartbeat on the doppler (I have a tilted uterus so this is expected) So she did end up doing an ultrasound and baby looks good, measuring a few days ahead of where the original ultrasound put me so thats good. Baby is measuring closer to 11 weeks than 10. How is everyone else doing?

 

[raine87]

Just waiting for our first appointment which is Thursday morning. My spotting stopped on Friday or at least I haven't noticed anymore. Idk if I'm getting used to the nausea or if it's starting to ease up. Just hoping everything goes ok on Thursday!

 

[mrs unicorn]

Klabro that's great news!!! You must be relieved.

Raine - good luck for Thursday.

I have my booking in appointment tomorrow! I'm excited but I don't know why, it'll be really boring! I think it's just filling in forms and having a lot of blood taken. But then I should get a letter for my 12 week scan, which I am super excited about. Even though I have one booked at 10 weeks, there's something about the 12 week scan. It's a huge milestone. I'm off work this week, got lots of things on my to do list to sort out but the fatigue is still bad. I'm pretty much useless by 2/3pm!
