*** August mummies 2019 ***

Yes true! Near the end for me was endless suffering last time.. swollen legs, ankles, feet, SPD knocking me down constantly, the return of the tiredness... Why did I want another one?!

I suffered spd too! I literally didn't leave the house the last 3 weeks. It was awful... Yet here we are again

Had my midwife appointment yesterday, all went well. Starting to get a bit more excited but not totally - I think that will come once I’ve had my scan.
Amazing news is I got my letter today! And I’m booked in for the 22nd. Can’t wait!

Felt absolutely rough last night and this morning but It is what it is and I’m happy with it.

Hope everyone is doing well, sorry to those who have lost. Our hearts are always with you

I got my scan letter today too hear you and mine is for the 21st...I can't wait...it will feel real then I think and I am almost excited now about telling people. I was worried before about the fuss as I don't really like female fussing x

I just had my scan earlier, the midwife mesured me at 8w3d! We saw a bigheaded little bean with a strong and fast heartbeat!
She asked me if I wanted another scan for free on Sunday since she is going to pass an exam and has to write a paper on a woman who is over 8 weeks and 4 days! How lucky is that?! I agreed of course, since I will be 8 weeks and 5 days according to my ovulation calculation. Won't see much of a difference but I don't want to pass a chance like that!x

Ah that’s nice Kitana x

Stop worrying about symptoms ladies, it's a vicious circle and only gets worse if you focus on every little thing!
Enjoy your pregnancy!
I know it can be rough on some days but in 7 months, we will be laughing so hard at our current little discomforts when we will be barely able to turn around in our beds, when we will barely be able to hold our wee when we sneeze, when we will get contractions whenever we get a scare!
Enjoy the days where your boobs stop hurting, enjoy the days your morning sickness decides to give you a breather, you're lucky!

Sorry to be a Debbie downer but I don’t want my symptoms to disappear cuz last time they did it resulted in a missed miscarraige lol

Oh no, I didn't mean it like that! You can write anything you want here hun! I just didn't want you to feel bad for having no symptoms. I meant that you should enjoy it when your body gives you a break. Like today, I didn't feel the need for a nap, and I spent my "alone time" (daughter's nap time) catching up on my favourite tv series! You know what I mean? Just enjoy it when you have no symptoms, while it lasts obviously!

I really didn't mean it in a bad way! That's who I am, I always try to see the positive in things! Hope I didn't offend you!

 

[Dinkydizzy]

You didn’t offend, it’s just it’s easier said than done not to worry when the symptoms stop lol, maybe after my scan on Wednesday I can stop being so neurotic lol

I can understand since you miscarried so late, must have been so hard to have to let go...
But this little one is going to hang on!

sorry thread hopping. I had a chemical in august so I'm also paranoid about it happening again.My symptoms have totally gone. No nausea and not tiredness. It's awful worrying all the time. Its crazy that I long to feel sick.

 

[Nikkibiscuit]

After so long wishing for a pregnancy I wouldn't dream of complaining about symptoms. However I do have a lot more sympathy for pregnant ladies now feeling like crap lol. I think for me it's a balancing act....rest helps but so does getting up and getting on with it...purely cos otherwise I sit and stew about every little feeling which only makes me feel worse. Grateful to be off work today though...I've got 6 days on after today which is gonna hurt. But my reward at the end is a rare 3 day weekend to relax x

Started my anti-ickness tablets yesterdat.. Felt so much better it was such a relief. Phoned work saying i would probably be back on monday if it continues this way...
And then i woke up this morning...
Took the same tablets, had the exact SAME FOOD.... And i feel Crap !
The sickness feeling is so od it feels like anxiety mixed with nausea...
I don't want to feel like this but at the same time as you all said it reminds me there's a little bean growing in there !!
but saying that, when I MMC in august, i had symptoms up to 10.5 weeks although baby measured only 7.5 when they said no Heart beat at 11 weeks
So it might not be worth feeling so crap anyways It doesn't stop me from wondering IF and IF and IF...

Such an odd feeling to be overly excited and worried at the sam time !!

 

[EmmaN27]

I've been feeling nauseous the last few days, but haven't actually been sick. I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter I felt the same and was sick a handful of times. It's defo a reminder that you are pregnant!

Because me and OH haven't told anyone yet, and I haven't had any appointments/scans yet, I'm finding it hard to accept it is real and be excited at the moment. I have an early scan booked for next Sunday when I should be 7+3 (cheap deal on Groupon), so hopefully that will change everything and make me very excited! x

We have been trying ttc for 6 years, and this is the first time we have been pregnant while we are obviously so happy, I expected to be walking on clouds, and what we’re both doing is worrying haha. Is the baby ok, is this symptom normal, am I eating ok, if the babies ok OMG how are we going to afford everything, will we be good parents, what if we pick a terrible name?!?, etc etc etc. A little light hearted grumbling gets a bit of it out of my system haha everyone has their own way of getting through what we can all admit is not an easy time.

NHS ivf patients are given a “reassurance” scan at 7 weeks. And it was explained to me that patients are often so worried and concerned about, well everything, after their journey to that point, that they found offering the scan had health benefits to both mother and baby. It feels like so many people could do with this, especially those who’ve had to deal with unexplained losses.

I’m embracing every symptom I get lol

Also tmi but last 2 days I’ve had a jelly like discharge, anyone else?

It's true, you expect to be over the moon and full of excitement, but reality is different until you have 12 week scan I think! x

Hi all,

Just popped in to let you all know I’ll be leaving the thread and the board for a while and am wishing the rest of you happy and healthy pregnancies.

Unfortunately they didn’t find a heartbeat at my scan this morning. I should be 9 weeks today but I’m measuring more like 6. I’ve to go back in a week for another scan and surgical management.

Best wishes and luck to you all xx
