[Kirsty30]

[Babbybo]

I'm ok Melly. Surprised at how often I feel iffy and have to eat to feel better. It means I'm constantly bloated and starting to worry someone will realise as I don't want work or parents in law to know until 12wk scan.
Already had my mum checking me out (tho I told my parents soon after as they know the trouble we had getting to here).
I'm also back to being exhausted- not good with trying to work. Could have slept at my desk yday.
U must b on such a high after scan. I've another on next wk& hoping everythings ok.
How's everyone feeling? Symptoms better or worse now?

Thanks cossie. Ive been popping in following you and the girls in april mummies thread too. Glad youre on mat leave now.sounds like youve been struggling x

 

[Diamond18]

Those scan pics are wonderful ladies! I'm so happy to see them

Not feeling too terrible today - yay. For the first week I had awful vivid nightmares, they stopped but came back badly last night, so that's made me feel a bit down.

Little bit worried about the MW appointment next week, I have to bring th girls (fine by me) but I really hope she doesn't go on about my weight, especially in front of the girls y'know?

Wrap up warm today ladies and be careful on the ice if it's bad where you are Xx

 

[Melly41]

Thanks diamond. Hopefully she wont be that insensitive in front of your girls. Could you perhaps discretely say you do not wish to discuss this in front of them but are aware of the issues? Surely she needs to respect this? I hope it goes well and glad to hear youre feeling ok, otherthan vivid dreams....think theyre quite common x

 

[rainbow.23]

Congrats on the scan pictures ladies! I'm being brave and holding out til 12 weeks, so won't see my bub for a while yet.

 

[Melly41]

Thanks rainbow. The next 3 weeks will fly by rainbow and youll see your wee bub before you know it x

 

[Keeponhoping]

Congrats melly, so pleased for you! I've been lying low for a while, my anxiety is getting the better of me at the moment! Haven't updated for a while but I had a scan last Thursday and baby and heartbeat was detected, however can't feel excited or satisfied as I've been here before and things went wrong at 11 weeks but for now there is a bean with a heartbeat. I'm being monitored closely and will be having weekly scans, but I'm still such a mess about it all, dreading the next scan, what will be, will be I suppose! Hope everyone is doing ok. X x

 

[Babbybo]

Aww keeponhoping that's great news about ur scan. Delighted for u. I really hope the days btwn scans fly for you until u can hopefully relax a bit. Goodluck.

 

[Keeponhoping]

Thanks bb, I wish I could just relax, never going to happen! Does anyone have any relaxation methods which they are using and finding helpful? X x

 

[CoveyClover]

Having a bit of creamy brown cm today �� I’ve had a tiny bit of cramping/aches but nothing to worry me! Hopefully it’s just normal and goes away!!

 

[Babbybo]

I havent tried it yet keeponhoping but I was recommended guided meditation videos on YouTube. Must give them a try.

Hope all's ok cc.

Im in a similar position. Had mmc in sept and found out at 10 weeks after 6 weeks scan being ok. The research suggests we have a very good chsnce this one will go to term and will be healthy so try and hold into that. I know im going to feel very anxious at harmony test as this is when i found out last time! But like you said what will be will be x

Sounds very normal. Im having creamy cm today too. In fact had cr3amy cn on and off since bfp. I read somewhere thats its our bodies forming the plug? Keep an eye on it and if it gets worse might be worth speaking to your midwife x

 

[Keeponhoping]

Thanks melly and bb, it's all so stressful isn't it! I will give that guided meditation a go, wish we could all do it together! Hope you're ok cc. X x

Lovely to hear your scans went well ladies I’m hoping to finally book mine tonight. OH is so worried about me having an early scan in case something is wrong and I start worrying, but like I keep saying to him, I’d rather know that now than wait another 5/6+ weeks. Plus, if I’ve had a scan and know everything is ok, I might feel happier to tell my family and close friends when we visit in a few weeks when I’ll be around 10 weeks.

Sorry to hear about your anxieties keeponhoping, completely understandable with your history. I did hypo birthing towards the end of my previous pregnancies which helped so much with relaxation. I’m sure there’s lots of videos on YouTube that may help in a similar way.

Is anyone else suffering from ridiculous bloating??? I’m glad I don’t live anywhere near my friends and family or they’d all be guessing by now, I’m sure!!

Yes jenni ove been having bloating which causes a bump in the evenings but then this dissappears by morning. Some nights im more bloated than others.not sure but think as this is not your 1st, then youll start to show earlier....i was definately noticing a more permanent bump around 9-10 weeks even though it wasnt probably noticeable to others. I was having ti wear baggier clothes and even got some mat leggings i started wearing (i'll have to dig those out!).

I can understand your OHs anxieities but im with you, id rather know earlier than get more attached as it was devasting finding out at 10 week scan xx

Well I pulled out the maternity leggings today! My normal jeans are getting so uncomfortable already, they’re that tight and cut into my stomach so looks like I’ve got two strange bumps/bulges, so figured I might aswell have one ‘bump’ on show rather than two haha.
