Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! 2

bella2121

Morning ladies I agree what will be will be, just try and relax and let nature take its course, I had a bit of bleeding with my last baby which turned out to be nothing. I think once the 12 week scan is out the way and you've seen your babies heartbeat you relax a little, I know I did.

Well the sick feeling is still here although at the min I do feel 100 times better than yesterday so fingers crossed, hope everyone has a nice day xx

Hey ladies sorry if I made anyone worry more with my post, I know we all deal with worries in different ways and some (like me) like to research and try and understand things, whereas others may prefer just to switch off from it.
I agree that que sera sera, all we can really do is just get on with it and get through.
Hopefully we'll all soon be holding our 12 week scan pictures of our perfect little babbas!

hmm..the one about morning sickness does nothing to ease my mind as that is one of my biggest worries already.

I agree with amus though, aside from not smoking/drinking/throwing yourself down stairs etc I think there's b*gger all you can do to avoid mc.

If it's going to happen, all the fresh fruit and poultry eating in the world isn't going to stop it.

Agree with you MV - theres nothing you can do other than the obvious things such an no extreme sports, drinking, drug taking, smoking etc. And even then - some people continue to smoke/drink etc well in to pregnancy and have healthy babies - but obviously there is a higher chance of something going wrong.

I don't truly think you can 'avoid' a miscarriage. Its carp when it happens, but there certainly was nothing I could have done differently. You don't get a reason in 95% of miscarriage (ok I made that statistic up - but its a lot I'm sure ). Mine there was a reason cos it was a partial molar and that was caused by 2 sperms entering 1 egg at the same time which is not supposed to happen - which meant that there were 69 chromosomes present instead of the normal 46. There was literally NOTHING that could have been done to 'avoid' that - it was just plain sucky bad luck. I did tell DH that his sperms needed to line up this time tho in lickle soldier fashion and take it in turns to try and fertilise the egg :rotfl:

To be honest - on the whole I'm not really worried about miscarrying even tho I've had one already. I am an eternal optimist and I just think everything will work out this time. Like my signiture says - its gonna be our lucky year this year PMA all the way

I nearly told my mum last night, but then waited to check whether DH minded about that. She mentioned going to zumba again on monday and I just aren't comfortable with going. She will guess if I fob her off with excuses - so I'm gonna tell her today I think and suggest swimming instead.

I got an invite for a boozy night out tomorrow!! I've literally not had an invite out for ages, and as soon as I get a BFP its like boom, lol! I just said I was busy, and thank you for the invite - but I did have a chuckle about the timing of it :rotfl:

One thing I do, do to try and prevent a mc (and don't laugh!) is keep a moonstone ring under my pillow

My mum (who's a bit of an old New-Ageist) made me take it after I had my first mc.

I put it under my pillow and my 2nd pregnancy went like a dream!

Had it back under my pillow since ttc no 2, ok so it hasn't worked 100%, but keeping it there anyway

Not sure what it's meant to do..be lucky or something!

Bless my mum!

ooh hang on, from Google:

Healing Properties

Moonstone is particularly useful for easing emotional trauma, lessening grief and coping with loss. It is said to assist with the cycles of change.

It balances the fluid systems of the body and is ideal for all problems related to fertility, menstrual cycles, hormonal imbalances, and all female related health issues.

Well its not gonna do you any harm is it MV - and it might just help you never know :cool:

My mum bought me a bracelet to remember how brave I had been (altho its not really a case of braveness - there ain't a lot you can do about it) but if I'm having a bad day sometimes I wear my bracelet.

It's nice to have something to comfort you isn't it

I have a poorly toddler on my hands today, so looks like we are going to be mostly housebound. It suits me actually as I find going out and doing activities quite tiring at the moment, but feel a bit sorry for DS. I think a wander down to the local Sainsburys later is probably as much as I can muster today.

Just went to the toilet (sorry for TMI) and thought I could see a bit of browny on the paper. Freaked out, but on closer inspection don't think it was anything. Keep checking though. Auugh the waiting drives you crazy.

11 days to my scan. Just want to know that everything is ok

Hi Penny!

So excited and thrilled to hear your little boy arrived safe and sound. So delighted as well that your beautiful nursery finally has an occupant.

I remember how awful things were for you, and how you nearly gave up.

I'm so happy you didn't xxx
