*** September 2018 Mums ***

[Melly41]

Ive been a bit bloated but no constipation. Still have slightly sore boobs and ocassional dry mouth overnight but thats it atm. Hope everyone else doing ok. Rearraned my early scan for 2 weeks time as it was too early to see heartbeat yesterday. Think they saw fetal pole, sac and yolk but she said its very common not yo see heartbeat this early. She thought i was prob not quite 6 weeks given measurements. Apps vary between 6+3 and 5+6. Feel ok about it as it is prob just too early but think these two weeks are going to drag!

Ohh it is just the waiting game isn’t it. Youl be excited for your scan Melly ��. Tiredness has kicked in today and working later so il need to do something to give me a boost ha

It’s so strange how you get all these symptoms so early on.. and when it’s so early you don’t want to tell a lot off people but you think they might guess when your so bloated. Apart from that hope your keeping well. It feels so real still doesnt it. Can’t wait till my first midwife appointment ��x

My first appointment seems so long away (Feb 15th) I just want to know that baba is growing properly, I feel more nervous this time around than I with my first. I just want to tell everyone but my OH wants to wait until the first scan. A few co-workers have guessed already but the way I see it is if anything happened I would tell them anyway so I don’t see why I can’t tell certain people from the beginning

I think one of the girls in work has a cold and now I can feel a cold coming on too. Typical! Lots of hot honey and lemon and soup for me this week.

I think i will be more relieved once its over with! Ive been really tired the last few days. They say gentle exercise helps with tiredness so might try it later in! Hopefully this will boost me!

Id love to tell people but having had mmc at 10 weeks in sept was glad i hadnt as couldnt bear everyone commenting on hiw ut was meant to be. Going to wait for 12 week.scan i think.it seems such a long way a way! Hopefully between now and your appt 15th feb will break things up a bit x

I've told most people already, I waited until 12 weeks last time, but after having a stillbirth you realise that 12 weeks isn't actually a safe milestone. I thought that if I do have another loss I'd want all my friends and family to support me regardless of the gestation.

I've had friends ring or text me saying they've had a miscarriage before, when I didn't even know they were pregnant and I found it strange, like I never got to share your high with you before I supported you through the low.

I had another friend who wouldn't buy any baby things before 24 weeks in case she lost the baby - I told her - if you lose the baby you won't be sad because you bought stuff, or because you told people. You will be sad because you lost your baby, that's the worst thing that can happen.

I don't think we should deny ourselves these pleasurable moments of seeing people's excitement when we tell them, or buying little things, because somehow it will 'jinx' things.

Everyone is so different though. What do you guys think? I'd love to hear your opinions

Thread jumping.. I agree rainbow, I told people I’m close to after we had the scan showing the heartbeat so around 7 weeks most knew, Lane told his mum and dad they day I got my bfp, I’d want people to know why I was sad and heartbroken if any thing was to happen, i understand why most wait till 12 weeks I even had a friend who waitied till she was 20 weeks before announcing it, but most people pretty much would of guessed with me with how sick I was I couldn’t just pass it off as a bug when it was happening all day every day xx

 

[Melly41]

I would love to tell friends and family but sadly some close friends and maybe older sibling would be a little judgemental with me being oldermi want to make sure everything is ok before i face telling people. Totally get why people would want to share their happy news though.i guess we are all just different x

We haven’t told anyone yet. I think I’m around 5+2. I agreed with my OH I wouldn’t lie if someone asked me outright, but I don’t want to announce it to anyone yet. I still have zero symptoms (apart from being gassy and so tired, but my job is pretty busy so maybe that’s why I’m tired!) - with having no symptoms and only being 5ish weeks it doesn’t feel real, so I kinda want to wait until I have some symptoms! Is that mad?!

 

[Babbybo]

I'm 6wks today and like everyone I'm counting the days.
We haven't told anyone yet. I want to tell my parents at least but having had a chemical last year I don't want to get their hopes up. I didn't tell them about the chemical until I arrived at their house in a mess after fertility consultant told us we would need IVF. So my parents think we're on the waiting list (which we are) but hoping this works out and we won't need it& I can share our lovely surprise soon.

I feel the exact same way as you, I wouldn’t be able to hide my emotions if anything bad happened. I don’t have any real close friends so when I need to talk, I talk to my co-workers. I didn’t tell them out right that I am pregnant but a few guessed and I just didn’t deny it. If anything were to happen then I’d like the support and kind words from them. I think we’re going to be telling a few people this weekend but are waiting for the scan to do a announcement with our daughter involved for our parents and family.

Evening all, room for another? According to my LMP we're looking a late September babe - our third. How is everyone doing this evo? I've already told all my family and friends as they can all share the journey, however it goes. Hope you're all feeling human! Xx

Hi all,

Sorry for not being around that much, my life is quite busy at the moment; I'm a fulltime working mum of a 2.5 year old so things can get hectic.

Been feeling very nausious too. My stomach screams for food but everything I do eat makes my stomach turn. Very exhausting too.

Anyways, had my first scan today! Baby was estimated between 6-7 weeks which would be exactly right. Aaaaaand, we saw a heartbeat! Hooraaaah! Such a relief!

Next scan will be the 22nd of Feb, but I don't think I can wait that long. Will probably book a private scan sometime inbetween then and now.

So happy, our little bean is alive! Can't wait to get to the end of the first trimester, these weeks are nerve wrecking!

 

[Melly41]

Great scan picture Daisy! X
