Hi Everyone I'm so sorry but I haven't managed to read through the whole thread yet! I've been lurking for a little while too scared to post anything as I keep expecting something to go wrong. I only lost my baby boy at the end of June at just over 21 weeks and I'm now 9+3. Had an early scan last week which was all good so starting to feel a bit better. Hope everyone is well, sorry for everyone's losses and congratulations on your bfps!

Hey ladies.

How are you? I've missed you all!

Just back last night from 2 weeks in the sun.

Was a lovely relaxing break, a bit too hot for me some days, but I stayed in the shade.

Sickness got pretty bad sometimes, but got some Cariban from the Farmacia which really has helped loads. Only got 11 days left of it.....so a little nervous about that as annoyingly it isn't sold over here.

Passed 9+0 on Saturday, which was the day I MCd last time, so was a little worried all day but it went without a hitch, no spotting or anything since 4 weeks, with this bean.

My doppler arrived but no luck last night. I'm not slim though and only 9+4 so not stressing at all. Will just give it a try every few days.

Midwife tomorrow so I'm looking forward to that.

Mizzpodd: How was your scan? Try not to worry, I do understand how hard it is, we all do. Worry and stress doesn't do you any favours, think positive, happy thoughts.

Amanda: congrats on 10w, that'll be me tomorrow! I'm glad your LO is OK, what a nightmare and well done for not panicking!

Cupcake: welcome back! Congrats on getting past your 9w.

Avapops: Welcome, join our positive thinking!

AFM: Wen to see the doc today, had another scan and all is well and lovely. Saw my bean, which looks just like a jelly baby! It was waving it's little stumpy arms and legs about and swimming around. We saw and heard the heartbeat and it was just brilliant. What a happy day!
I however, am still feeling like complete excrement and the doc has now signed me off work until the end of the month. Sofa and DVDs for me!

Honestly, I don't know how you girls who already have children manage while feeling like this! You deserve medals!

Cgav, I know what you mean! What I wouldn't give for a coffee and a smoke right now! A nice frothy cappuccino and a menthol cigarette would be heaven. But don't worry everyone, I won't have either. I can't stomach coffee and cigarettes are an absolute no go for me!

My nausea and sickness have been pretty rough, but the past few days if I've smelt coffee it's made me want it so bad!

Treated myself to a couple of mouthfuls of Pepsi when I was away, as I REALLY craved it and it helped my sickness a bit. But I won't have a coffee.

Have had some decaf Tea today and am really enjoying it.

ava- Welcome and congrats on your precious rainbow baby! I am so sorry for your loss. I remember you from the other forum, and it is great to see you have your rainbow babyYou have come to the right place because we definitely know how scary it can be after losses/miscarriages. I am so excited for you and your scan!!


Cupcake- Hello there! It sounds like you got some relaxation though right? I'm so happy you have had good days, and am sure everything is going to go great this time! What type of doppler did you get and from where?


Tour- My scan was awesome!!! I'm posting a pic of the little rainbow bean!! So happy right now!! Oh and managing can become overwhelming at times, but it reminds me of much I love being a mother and can't wait to have more lol Congrats on the great scan and HB!! Ooh you better relax and enjoy your DVDs!! You deserve it missy

AFM: Ladies my scan/appt went absolutely wonderful! I love my doctor, and plan on keeping him or the midwife who delivered my baby... Between those two doctors, I believe I will be in great hands. OMG the staff was so compassionate and kind to me. Children are NEVER allowed in the ultrasound room and we even sign a written statement saying we understand this... But when the nurse called me back, I told hubby and DD1 I'll be back, and she asked "Did you want them to come back too?" I got teary eyed and she immediately hugged me and got my family and they came back there with meI was so happy at how they were sensitive to my situation without even saying anything. My baby looked beautiful HB was 180! I am measuring right on time Due date is May 21st The nurse I spoke to after took great care of me. She asked me very detailed questions about my health history, and was very serious about making sure I am treated well. She even said they will probably monitor me a lot closer this whole pregnancy which is fine with me. I'll go to any appt they need me to lol She said the person responsible for giving us our autopsy report did not do what they were supposed to because we still can't have the info to get our baby girl taken care of. She is making sure it is done ASAP because she said it was supposed to be done a long time ago SO we are still waiting, but I pray my next appt is where we finally get the papers. My next appt is Oct. 25th!

She also gave me info about joining a pregnancy group where you have women around your gestation age, and we all get health assessments, education on the pregnancies, and just overall support. I definitely need that right now because I don't have even friends other than the ones back home and you ladies I am so excited about finally being able to get out of the house because she told me it is not a good idea to stay in the house constantly like I have been doing. It is a big adjustment when I was in the military versus now because I went from having a lot of social interaction to practically none.
Sorry I am rambling again but I am so happy that I have concerned nice OB staff this time, and that I will finally get out of the house and meet people again

How's everyone else doing?? Ladies who are getting scans??

Here is my little rainbow baby

 

[EMTAmanda]

What a lovely scan mizz!!!!

Soooooo funny preggo brain story.... Until just now I had no idea "who" AFM was and kept looking back for someone on the forum named AFM lol!!!!!! AS FOR ME: I have a serious case of preggo brain lately lol!!!!!

 

[MizzPodd]

Haha Amanda I never knew either until someone said they figured it out! Lol it's okay to chalk it up to preggo brain.... But I did read something very interesting that said it is a myth and that actually memory may improve during pregnancy.:O I was so shocked because I remember how loopy I got with my first pregnancy. I put my car keys in the laundry room lmao!!!

 

[robinson380]

Is anyone else itchy? I have this little rash that came up on two of my fingers as well that is driving me mad! It kind of looks like eczema, which I have never had before. Any ideas? Went to a walk-in clinic and they were clueless--I think the lady must be a brand new NP. I have left a message with my Dr. so hopefully they will get back to me. Does anyone know if you can take benadryl?

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Mizz-Congrats on a great scan!!!!

Avapop-So sorry to hear about your son. Welcome to the group!!

Me-Today is the day the last little bean passed. I'm just ready to get this day over with. Counting down until the next scan. Told my kids today. So much for waiting!

 

[cgav1424]

MizzPodd - so happy that you had an awesome appointment with what sounds like an amazing doctor and staff! I'm thrilled it all went so well! Congratulations on your beautiful little bean! My next appointment is the day before yours.

 

[MizzPodd]

Robinson- there is something that pregnant get sometimes called hhelp (might be wrong acrynom) but I break out terribly on my arms and I was told this is because of hormones and it is normal. I think Benadryl is safe but double check that for yourself.

Iluv- you are so strong for getting through this day. You should be proud of yourself, I pray you keep this spirit up!

Cgav- thank you! I was pleasantly surprised! Oh that's cool that we have appts right around the same time! Hopefully we will be both sharing great news!

 

[EMTAmanda]

Mizz I'm way loopy when preggo! I put tooth paste in the freezer when putting groceries up the other day! I am just out there! I think it's probably because of fatigue though! Haha

 

[MizzPodd]

Amanda omg I'm over here crackin up! Lol that's classic haha

 

[ILuvBabies200]

EMT-I had PB in the frig the last pregnancy! LOL

And the exhasution has hit... I'd give anything to be in bed 24/7. LOL

 

[EMTAmanda]

Iluv I totally know what you mean!!! I did such a naughty thing tonight and pretended to feel really sick so hubby would go get takeout That I was craving and I wouldn't have to cook!!!! I was just way too tired and felt a little dizzy and weak anyways....and it worked lol!!

 

[EMTAmanda]

Robinson-I'm not itchy this time but I was with ds2 and my doctor said it was normal (hormones) but it was horrible!!!!!

 

[ILuvBabies200]

LOL EMT! Whatever works!
