**** April 2019 mummies ****

[Laura butchers]

Welcome new mummies!
Well what started as a horrible day, ended as a brilliant day! Had some pinky red spotting this afternoon that was really scaring me, especially as for the past couple of days I’ve been having brown discharge.. so was referred to an emergency gynaecologist (was an absolute wreck on the journey there) who performed an internal scan.... and I saw my little bean! Completely healthy looking and it’s little heart beating away - the sonographer said the heartbeat was really strong and that everything looked as it should! I just had a slight heamatona which is what was causing all the spotting. She even said it measured as 7+3 which is 3 days ahead of where I thought I was!
Will attach a little picture - the bulge on the right is it’s gestation sac and the jellybean looking thing is my baby was so happy to see that little heartbeat. I’m so relieved! Sorry for rambling, but I’m just so happy! Hardly anyone I know knows I’m pregnant, so it’s nice confiding in you ladies I hope you’re all well xxx

This is so lovely! Very happy for you that everything is perfect for you
We all stress over every niggle and pain but it all disappears when we see our babies on that monitor!
Did you want me to change you EDD or wait for 12 week scan?

So my plan to just go out with the girls today and pretend I was drinking without actually drinking was a lot harder to pull off then I thought! We were all given a glass of prosecco with our meal and it got quite awkward when everyone had nearly finished theirs and I hadn’t touched mine so I had a swig out of it said I wasn’t keen on it and was gonna get a cocktail instead, so I went to the bar on my own and got a non alcoholic cocktail, then after that someone got a round in so I ended up having a swig of a vodka soda and quickly getting a waitress to tip it away for me when everyone went for a smoke and the toilet, I think it was well obvious, and now I’m stressing about the fact that I had a swig of the prosecco and a swig of the vodka, which I know is silly as it was barely anything, I’ve gotta get through another thing tomorrow aswell, I’m not making any more social plans now until after I can tell people, too stressful! And I don’t even feel very pregnant today either which worries me

Trying to keep quiet is harder than people think. Ive literally told my husband and our parents and my sister. So understand how socially awkward it is. It will be worth it in the end. Dont worry about the sips of alcohol! Its not worth stressing over. If it was a botle of wine it would be so different but its literally nothing! X

Thanks Laura - I think I’ll just wait til the 12 week scan to find out more definitively just incase their measurement was a bit off xx

 

[Rubyredslipper]

We have told our parents, my mom is checking up on me very regularly 😂

 

[LauraB_83]

Oh and I've discovered my first food aversion!
I had a custard cream with a cup of tea, took one bite and gave the rest to my husband. Gutted, I usually love a custard cream!

My appetite has seriously diminished too, I could be starving but once I've had 3 or 4 bites I don't want any more,

Think we are both due the 2nd april. So making us 7weeks and 4days?
Ive been feeling terrible the last 3 days. To the point today i havent even got out of my pjs. Im barely eating and drinking as constand nauseous and have been sick everyday for last 3 days. I cant drink tea anymore it makes me feel sick. I cant plan meals as i literally can only stomach what i fancy. For instance at lunch time i didnt fancy anything but thought i had better eat something. So had a crumpet, had 2 bites and throw it in the bin. Im seriously struggling already with this pregnancy. So diffenrent to my son so maybe im having a girl lol!
My husband has asked me 4 times today what i want for dinner and each time ive fancied something different and now all i want is porridge with sugar. I literally dont have any energy to even cook! And i love cooking. Fed up with feeling like this constantly!

100% this is me too I feel sick if I eat / don’t eat, if tried loads of things to make the sickness go away and it does slightly then comes back. Im so drained and feel like rubbish. Never remember being this bad with the boys. Maybe it’s my age lol
The thought of another 6+ weeks of this especially when we move house over 700 miles in October is draining me

 

[Rubyredslipper]

Wow 700 miles!! Where to / from? I’m in the West Midlands.

 

[LauraB_83]

Looking at the map I might have over exaggerated slightly lol it’s about 550! We live on a small island in the outer Hebrides and were moving to Telford (hopefully)! It will be great as we have not lived as close as this to my family in 13 years they are in Kidderminster, so probably not too far from you either x

Hello...
I'm 6 weeks, I've held off introducing myself despite finding out over 2 weeks ago that we've got an unexpected jellybean. I've got a history of early miscarriage, always between 4.5 and 6 weeks, my most recent one was in November and was particularly horrific (also unplanned and felt really cruel to give us that surprise and take it away in a snap) and I spent lots of time in and out of hospital.
So this time, I had a sneaky suspicion beforehand and took an early test, so I actually got a bfp at 3+5 weeks and I've been keeping my fingers crossed ever since. Finally turned 6 weeks and straight away got an early scan.
Here's the wee jellybean, heartbeat flickered away, too little to measure but all in the right place and sac perfect for gestation.

Due date 14th April

Bless you it’s awful isn’t it. I’m not too bad, definitely not as bad as with ds, I just fear the worst is yet to come!I hope you get some relief soon. X

 

[Niknaknoo]

Jomo, lovely scan! Bet you feel great.
Welcome newcomers! I think we’re nearly at the end of welcoming new April mums. Fx we’re all here for the duration now. Sticky vibes to everyone!
People are doing my head in already. My mil was panicking the other day when I said I was still cycling to work. I will stop when I feel it isn’t safe, which is probably another month or two, maybe sooner if I start struggling with it. And it’s literally a mile down the road and keeping me active!
My mum wouldn’t let me carry my son today. I was like so what am I supposed to do for the next 7 months...not pick my son up? I’m strong and it’s not like my body isn’t used to lifting him.

Good morning girls, I tested this morning and the line is getting lighter and I took either a one step as today should been my official test date and nothing. So I do think I am miscarrying. I will ring the doctor tomorrow and see what they say.

Aw I’m so sorry crumble, hopefully it isn’t but it sounds like it might be a chemical, I’ve been there myself I know how gutting it is you are probably best to wait and see what happens over the next few days, or see if the doctor is willing to test hcg levels, this whole ttc game can be really awful at times, who said making a baby was going to be fun!? I hope that little mini crumble hangs in there for you xx

It is painful, is the only thing I can say.

Yes Kiddy is close, opposite side to the city centre to me. That’sounds like a huge change for you! Bet it’s so pretty where you are now but Telford is lovely!!

 

[Rubyredslipper]

Big hugs to you Crumble x

My moms the same, told me to be careful picking DD up and told me not to weed the garden she will do it!!

 

[Mummymoreton]

Morning everyone and welcome to the new mummies!
Hope your ok crumble got everything crossed for you!
I was out last night with my sister's and sister in law and they know so wasn't too bad for me! I did miss a gin when they were having them woke up again today with still bits of bitty spotting. It's driving me insane. I hate going to the toilet everytime I see it my heart sinks! Feel like Thursday is ages away. I am 5+4 today, I still don't even feel pregnant no real symptoms here so far! Just praying hard that baby is still progressing. Hope your all ok xxx

 

[Jellybean86]

I'm 6+3 today and I still barely notice any changes to my breasts (I've had very occasional pains in them but nothing much) and im gettinh leg and tummy cramps. That's all I am really experiencing. It's my first pregnancy so I'm really desperate to get my midwife appointment sorted - waiting for them to come back to me with a date for the 8-10 week meeting
