MizzPodd - really hope there's no infection there. When do you get the results of the culture back? Fingers crossed for you.

Mirriel - :wave: Welcome. We lost our little girl at a day off 11 weeks too and I feel the same about the run up to that point again. It's so wonderful there's this group here that we can all go through this at pretty much the same time together and be there for each other.

Afm - I've got my first scan booked for the 29th. I'm figuring I should be 7w+2 at that point. We'll see. I can't wait but so I'm nervous, so for now I'm just going to try and not think about it! lol

Hope everyone's doing ok.

Hey Manu! I am trying not to think about my next scan either... but as Amanda shows there is hope!

Congrats amanda lovely HB!!

anyone else peeing like a race horse... all day and all night??? LOL

 

[MizzPodd]

I understand ladies... I lost my baby girl at 18 and a half weeks so I won't even breathe until I am at least 20 weeks hard not to think about though

 

[Tasha]

My main two symptoms are needing to pee and tiredness, the tiredness is crazy. After a couple of hours of being awake, I want a nap.

MizzPodd I think that in PAL you dont really feel at ease until the baby is in your arms, or at least that was how it was for me with my fourth when my third grew her wings at 36+6 and has been the same in all my pregnancies since.

Sometime next week. If I don't get a call, all is well

I'm so sorry for your losses
I think you are right... I really won't feel at ease until the baby is in my arms its really true. All I can do is stay positive and pray everything will go great

 

[pink_bow]

Sorry about your loss MizzPodd.

I'm sure you're little girl will be watching over your rainbow - as will yours Tasha.

I am contemplating booking a scan for 8 weeks but don't want to tempt fate xx

 

[EMTAmanda]

Congrats on your scan as well storm!!! I can't wait till we are all in the third trimester complaining about sore backs and huge bellies! As for now still no real sore boobs here but ohhhh how I am exhausted! The nausea also hits at random times as well! Most nights I don't even get through the night without making a trip to the loo!

 

[manuiti]

I'm so tired too!!! And not quite a racehorse yet but starting to have to get up in the middle of the night to pee, so maybe more like a racing hedgehog for now...

Fingers crossed for no call then MizzPodd!

to everyone!

 

[padbrat]

Mwahahaha racing hedgehog!!!

Yes.. apologies Storm congrats on a lovely scan to you too x

Mizzy I think we all feel the same... it is truly heart rending and as some one else has said it is like the innocence and joy has gone out of pregnancy for me... which is wrong to feel I know... as each pregnancy is a miracle... I just want to take my miracle home for once.. as do we all xx

 

[MizzPodd]

pad- That is completely understandable... It is difficult to completely feel confident after having any type of baby loss. All we can do is have faith in whatever it is we believe in... for me, I believe God has a plan for me, and this baby was meant to and meant live in this world with their big sister. I will believe this no matter what, I have to believe it to survive and keep going

manu- LOL I have been starting to get up a lot more often in the night too, but I know it is not to the highest peak yet.... Give me two more weeks.... Waterworks! I am hoping for no call, thanks!


pinkbow- Thank you so much, I know she is. She is my guardian angel
I know you don't want to tempt fate, so take your time for booking your appt. Just book it early enough where there will be appointments open for your 8 week. I booked mine last week... October 10th is my 8 week appt. Just try to go with the flow, and I think everything will begin to get easier Trust me, that is a lot easier said than done I know.

Last night I had a scare with bleeding. I woke up and there was some leaking so I went to use the restroom and wiped and there was brown/reddish blood on the tissue... I wiped three times and each time there was obvious blood. This happened with previous pregnancies and with my first my daughter was in perfect health when I delivered her, so I am chalking it up to my early spotting... I never thought I would have to deal with early spotting, but now I accept it as just a part of pregnancy process... My body is just trying to get rid of the old blood... That's what I believe. It was scary though because I couldn't get back to sleep for a while, but I'm okay now. It stopped, and it wasn't bright red or anything. I'm taking it easy and not doing a lot of physical stuff today....

Have a good Sunday lovely ladies

 

[pink_bow]

I'm sure the spotting is nothing MizzPodd, as you said it's probably just old blood making its way out, sending though.

Have found a place that does early scans but going to have to wait 2 weeks before I can book an appointment as I don't get paid til then! Not a bad price though as £69.00 xx

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Who's that with Tasha? I've been looking for scans and cheapest here is £99.

Mizzpod PAL is so hard. I never had spotting with either of mine so found it really scary. I think no matter if you know it's normal or not you will still worry if that makes sense x

 

[pink_bow]

It's a company based in Leeds called Meet Your Baby https://www.meetyourbaby.com/

I have been mostly lurking but want to just send hugs everyone's way. I always try to remember that each pregnancy different and I am hoping to see you ladies stay here until your due dates and have a happy and healthy pregnancy. Going back to lurking and sending love your way

 

[MizzPodd]

Thank you pinkbow and miss mommy. You both made me feel a lot better and human! I try to be strong but I do naturally have a little apprehensive feeling from time to time. I'm happy I'm not alone with those feelings

 

[EMTAmanda]

Well I woke up baking and cooking like a mad woman and I guess around noon my body had enough because I found my way to the couch for a brief nap I'm not quite as exhausted as I was with ds2 but I'm pretty darn tired!!! I'm a lot healthier than I was with ds2 as well (quit smoking when I found out I was pregnant with him, had to cut way back on caffeine because I lovvvvved sodas, and had to stop taking a prescription for ADD) but this time I had never started back on any f those things since ds2 pregnancy so maybe that's why this time is easier? Or maybe it's a girl

 

[EMTAmanda]

Mizz I would take it easy for a day or two! Just to ease your mind ad be on the safe side!

 

[padbrat]

BK why are you lurking? Come and join us properly x

Mizz yes, we have to believe don't we... otherwise we would go nuts. As the sign says that I saw... Hope Is Important. x

Amanda... bake some for me... I am being a lazy moo!!

 

[BklynChick74]

I lurk because at this moment I honestly have nothing to add to the conversations going on here. I am like WOW with what I am reading you ladies are going through a lot of uncertainties and transitions with your bodies. All mine is doing is burping, farting, catching cat naps where I can, and feeling like i have to throw up all the time. So figured I would just hush until I can relate to something here,hopefully that rambling made sense.
