Mumma- that is beyond terrible..I am so sorry for your friend's loss. I can't even imagine. I'll never understand why such awful things happen. Just be there for her to listen..will help her a lot. So sorry.

Ciz- so glad you are feeling better.

Campn and Sweety- thank you for the well wishes.

Mari- wishing you the best at your 16 wk tmorrow! I am so tempted to buy some baby clothes. I am weird for a girl- I hate shopping for myself, but I can't wait to start shopping for baby. Probably will wait til after 24 weeks.

Guess tomorrow I will go into my 16wks as I did at 12 wks - a nervous wreck, especially since I am still not showing...and hoping for the best but prepared for the worst.

Take good care everyone and yes-- no more falls..we've had 3!

Sorry, the dreaded bug got me spent hours sleeping on the floor yesterday hoping morning sickness gives me time out , I also drowned my son with milk I had to give him a dummy at 3 weeks so he could comfort suck instead of comfort feed! I was pumping 10oz 2 weeks after he was born I had crazy amounts of milk

Hopie- I agree that you are due for some time-off from troubles. Good luck with your appointment tomorrow, I'll be thinking about you

 

[campn]

Mumma- My heart breaks for your friend and you, this is beyond terrible and very cruel. To make it so far and actually deliver thinking the world will be amazing but in reality your world will be changed.

I know it's so hard but don't let it get to your head as things like that can really effect us when it hits too close to home. Stay strong

 

[MummaMoo]

Yes, it's a very cruel world with what people have to go through. And as you described Campn, to go through the whole pregnancy to come away with nothing but sadness is just beyond .... but, she is such a strong person, she's also a midwife so I think will have that reasoning in her head that she knows there's nothing she could have done etc... she has a gorgeous 2 year old... She'll be OK. We're not close friends that see each other often, but she knows I'm thinking of her and there, if/when she wants me.

Lots of luck for the appointments coming up tomorrow!!

Mumma im so sorry to hear of your friends loss. It's not something you ever get over or come to terms with, the pain stays with you forever. I hope that she has lots of supportive family and friends around her 💙

Obviously having been in the position of losing a child, I always welcome talking about it. I know it can scare and upset people, unfortunately, it can and does happen, and too often is the issue swept under the carpet and bereaved parents are left to feel isolated. Xx

How is everyone? I'm so bloody tired! Absoluteky shattered, yet I climb into bed and im wide awake! Driving myself mad.

Feeling definitely wriggles now though which is reassuring ☺️

Mumma so sorry to hear of your friends loss absolutely deverstating 😢.

Looks like 6th April is popular date for gender scans mine is also that day will be 17+1 as earliest we could get. Was really thinking girl to start with now I'm leaning towards boy lol.

Hope everyone is doing well!

mummammoo - I am so very sorry to hear about your friend who is loosing her son. It's just not right for a child to go first. My cousin lost his sweet little girl 1 day after birth. I cannot imagine. **hugs**

hopie - Thankyou and good luck at your appt too I am always nervous before each appt. This will be the first time my doc uses the doppler. Although I did get to hear the heartbeat on Sun when I was assessed after my fall. I been so tempted to buy some small baby items, but probably wont until after 20 weeks. My husband has to build the nursery for the baby and we don't want to start that until after 24 weeks. I think that is the viability day at the hospital I deliver at.

Laraloo - I've been felling the wiggles from the baby too. Very reassuring I am always tired, but it does take me a while to fall asleep at night. Last night I woke at 5am and couldn't fall back asleep until 630. My alarm goes off at 715 to get the kids ready for school. lol

ciz - glad to hear your morning sickness has died down alot. Mine too is alot better this past week. I too have to make sure I snack throughout the day or I will get sick. I hear you about the terrible twos!! My son is turn 4 next and he is finally alot better now. I say the hardest is between 18months to 3 1/2. lol

x-ginge - sorry to hear you have been sick. Hope you MS lets up soon!

Mumma, I'm sorry to hear about your friend's loss, but I'm glad you told us so that we could offer you some comforting words. I second what Lora said, I think it's something that needs to be talked about. After my loss, I remember feeling like I'd had no clue something like that could even happen because people just don't talk about it. It is really sad, and it is kind of scary, but it's better to talk about it than keep it all inside

Speaking of scary, every time I read someone had a fall I get soooooo nervous. I'm glad to hear everyone is ok!!

Lora I'm so excited for you that you're feeling wiggles. I'm one day behind you so I hope I start to feel things too! It will be so much more reassuring when I can feel her.

I'm happy for all the ladies who have gender scans coming up soon

I hope my last post didn't come across that I thought she'd get over it and that'd be the end of it, that's not what I meant.

 

[LoraLoo]

Mumma, sorry that's not what I meant, I was just talking about my personal feelings. I can see reading back why you might think it was in response to your post, but it wasn't. Your post came across as kind and thoughtful, and from 'this' side, it's nice to see how much friends do care when it happens x

I think I'm just having one of those days when I'm OVERthinking things, and emotions are on the edge.

I've also had a friend messaging me all day as she's experiencing some bleeding (she's 10/11 weeks pregnant) asking all kinds of questions and advice.

So, yeah, a bit of a day.

 

[x-ginge-x]

I think I'm just going to sit a for a bit, really had enough now, it's making me second guess the pregnancy as I am hating every single second of it

 

[Kiki1993]

Sorry to hear about your friend. One of my friends had a still birth a few years ago. Just do what you said, let her know your there when she needs you. It took T about six months before she could speak about it but everyone is different. Sending love your way

let it all out x-ginge, sickness is horrible for us all, but with your phobia I can imagine just how rotten it is, physically and mentally. But you KNOW it won't last, and you'll get your wonderful bundle you'll get at the end of it, keep your eyes on the prize

 

[campn]

You don't always know what to say cause really there isn't anything you can say to make their pain go away, I think it helps if you're just there for them and offer a listening ear, maybe cry with them too.

Thinking of you ladies who have had loses but still made it here now and today and this far, you're so strong!

I almost had the worst day of my life...
I went for my first official ob appt. I'm 14w 2d. I had a pap and an exam. I had to bring my 8 mo with me. My mw tried to find the hb. She tried for over 10 minutes with nothing. She went from not worried to very worried. She sent me to their other office for an emergency scan. I had to drive 20 min to the other office fearing the worst. Thankfully they got me in as soon as I got there. The tech was asking me my due date & how many pregnancies and I just couldn't answer. She was concerned I was alone (except for the baby.) I had to have my dh leave work to go pick up the kids from school. We saw the baby of course, but he wasn't moving & I couldn't tell if there was a hb. She said "it's there!" and turned up the volume so I could hear it too. 156bpm. I couldn't stop crying and shaking. I was already a mess by the time I got there. I had just had my nt scan 3 weeks ago & I have the results of my cell free testing. I know he was a perfect baby and I was so afraid he died. What a terrible experience! I'm sharing mostly so if any of you experience the same thing - there are happy endings.

I'll go ahead and post a bump pic too. Keep in mind this is baby #9 & my youngest is nearly 9mos.

 

[psychochick]

mummamoo: so sorry to hear about your friend. I cannot imagine what that is like honestly, I have only known my baby for a couple of months and I couldn't bear saying goodbye to him/her. It's the most cruel thing. But I'm glad she has your support

luv: omg that's an absolutely nerve-wracking experience. Did they say if the baby was in a weird position or something this time? I was pretty tense at my last ultrasound too because the baby came up on the screen and was not moving at all and the tech showed us the heart but it wasn't visibly pumping so I was scared. But apparently I just couldn't see it and she measured it and said it was normal. I think I physically sighed in relief.

x-ginge: hang in there. This is my first pregnancy so I kind of figured it was just normal to feel awful, but I share your sentiment too.

I actually just came back from an appt and I was warned by people that it could take a while to find the hb on the doppler but thankfully my baby was cooperating and the moment she put the doppler down we heard it. I hope it'll be this way in the future too.

Also had a night grappling with constipation. Was uncomfortable and kept waking up. Now feeling exhausted. Everyday is a new adventure in pregnancy land

 

[mari35racz36]

luv- How scary what you went through today! I am so happy hear the baby is ok When I was at the hospital on Sun night, they got out the doppler to listen for the baby. It took the doc close to 8min to find the HB, but she only heard it for a few seconds. I was so nervous until she found it! The OB said it was completely normal to still not hear HB on doopler or take a while to find it. Lovely bump pic

 

[xanzaba]

Luv- with my last pregnancy the same thing happened at 12 weeks where the nurse couldn't find the heartbeat for what felt like forever, so the OBGYN came in with her magic wand and voila, didn't even take any effort. I can't imagine having to drive to another office.
