*** October 2021 Moms ***

aww lovely, great piece of mind for you

 

I’ve been a bit nervous, I had a lot of symptoms right after my missed period, and today I am five weeks and the only symptoms I have are mildly sore breasts, and heartburn. It is typical that symptoms fluctuate right?

 

You can take me off Page 1.
Another baby has died. We should have been 6 weeks today.

 

I'm so sorry RainbowMama xx

 

oh hun I’m so sorry, are you sure it’s a loss? I’m still keeping my fingers crossed for you x

 

Just got back from A&E.
My levels should have been around 1,870. The last beta I had done was over a week ago and they went 43, then tripled to 114.

Todays is 52.

I am a broken woman, I don’t even want to breathe any more.

 

Oh I’m so sorry lovely, life is so cruel and unfair, there’s nothing I can say, I’m thinking of you xx

 

October 21st

 

Very frustrating not being able to be seen by my doctor until 12 weeks. In the past I had a midwife with both of my older children. She has now retired and we have none left in my town. I have so much anxiety waiting to make sure everything is ok.

 

Got my early scan booked for Sunday, this week is already going so slowly. I'm so nervous

Has anyone else booked one?

Also, has anyone got their booking appt through yet?

 

I’ve got my early scan booked for fri 5th March and got my booking appointment on 10th March, been really sick this week, lots of nausea and retching which is quite reassuring as horrible as it is! I’m sure everything will be absolutely fine for you on Sunday, I understand the nerves though I’m the same

The time is dragging at the moment, but at the same time I don’t want to wish the time away, as I’m so nervous about how my daughter is going to react to a baby being here, I feel so guilty on her!

 

The nausea is horrible, I hope you're getting on ok. I had it a fair bit last week and over the weekend but it seems to have disappeared now. Think that's why I'm so nervous.

That's good you have your booking appt, I'm still waiting for mine. Hoping to find out soon so I can sort childcare as knowing my luck it'll fall on a day my oh is at work.

I totally get what you mean about the guilt. I keep looking at my daughter and feel so upset. I'm sure she'll be a great big sister though when she accepts baby will be here to stay.

 

We did a private scan as my boyfriend can't be at any of my appointments due to covid. It's on March 8th. I just want to see the heartbeat and feel less anxious!

 

I'm feeling exactly the same. 12 weeks seems so far away so wanted to have some reassurance.

 

Hey,

Just thought I'd check in to see how everyone is doing?

 

Hey! I’m not doing too bad, sickness and exhaustion has hit me hard though, really struggling at the moment, I just look forward to bedtime everyday! Had a private scan on Friday, there’s just one in there thank god, baby had a lovely strong heartbeat and was measuring right on track at 8 weeks, so I’m 8+2 today, how are you doing? Have you got a midwife appointment through yet?

 

Bless you. I had some really bad days last week but this weekend it's eased off abit. I'm with you on looking forward to bedtime though!

Glad your scan went well I had my private scan last Sunday, I was measuring a few days behind but all was well.

Finally have my midwife appt through, have a phone appt next Monday and I should then be told when to go in to have bloods and hopefully given 12 week scan date.

I keep waking in the night with a pulling pain these past few nights. I remember having it with my daughter but I'm sure I was alot further on and had a bump. So I'm unsure what that's about. Will mention it to the midwife next week.

Is your midwife appt over the phone? Not used to the new set up of this all. I just had it all done at the same time with my daughter.

 

Oh glad your private scan went well too, it’s so worth getting one for the reassurance, it’s such a long time to wait until 12 weeks

I’d got my midwife appointment on weds over the phone, so I’m hoping she gives me a date for the 12 week scan and bloods then

yes I know what you mean about the pulling pains, I’ve been getting them and I think they are round ligament pains already! Didn’t get them until 14 weeks with my daughter but apparently everything happens earlier with the second, bump pops earlier etc, I do feel like my pants are getting a bit tighter but that might be cos I have to keep cramming carbs into my mouth every hour to stop myself from feeling sick! Urgh just can’t wait to feel normal again, hope this sickness passes soon

 

Hope you get your dates through for your appts Wed.

It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one who is getting the round ligament pain (even though it's uncomfortable).

My jeans are definitely getting tighter and I've had to find my old maternity ones to wear. I've been living in tracksuit bottoms for the last week.

Hope your sickness passes soon. I never had it with my daughter and now realise how hard it is to get on with my day suffering with it.
