13 week scan - sensitive update

[Mrs_MT]

Just wanted to give a quick update to say that baby 1 is healthy and measuring on track. It has been a bumpy ride with losing baby 2, which has been (still is) hard. But we feel so incredibly relieved and happy that baby 1 is OK.

Just wanted to reassure all the first time mothers out there about the coming and going of symptoms. All my symptoms would disappear suddenly overnight for a day or two and then would return with a vengeance just as suddenly. I used to stress when I had no symptoms but turns out it is normal!!

This forum has been such a wonderful support and I thank every one of you who have helped to reassure me and respond to all my posts. Baby dust to you all x

Congrats to you 💕🥳 I posted yesterday about my symptoms coming and going I’m 8+1 the main one I had was sore boobs now there not as sore at all 😩so this gives me hope thank you 🙏 xx

[Mrs_MT in reply to Cmc2020]

Yes my symptoms were coming and going from 8 weeks until now!! It was so anxiety provoking! I would just have these days with no sore boobs, no nausea and my energy returned. Sometimes it would last for 3 days. But now looking back in hindsight, I wish I had just enjoyed those days lol!

I have a scan on Monday so just hope everything’s ok I know soon as they started to go I was so upset and panicking but it’s common at 8 weeks for them to go i just need to remain positive thanks so much x

What a lovely scan pic and what a relief it must be to see after all you’ve been through 🤗💜 xx

[Mrs_MT in reply to Twiglet2]

Such a relief!

hi, glad to see that the baby is fine and I'm sorry about your loss of the other one. We went through something similar with my first pregancy. I get pregnant with twins and one of them stopped growing at 8 weeks, the other one (now my 3 year old daughter) was fine. I found the pregnancy very stressful until about 23 weeks, then I very slowly started to relax. I think the grieving and stress and uncertainty takes a while but it does really get better. All the best for the rest of your pregnancy.

[Mrs_MT in reply to miri-p]

I think I won’t be able to relax completely until the baby is here. I’m so sorry to hear the loss of your twin baby. It’s horrible and something I’m still learning to manage - grief while also being there emotionally for this baby. Thank you for your words x

[Mrs_MT in reply to Cinderella5]

Thank you, hope you are enjoying second trimester and that your two little ones are behaving in there xx

[Cinderella5 in reply to Mrs_MT]

Thank you! I'm still not convinced there's anything in there!🤣🙈 Pretty nervous too which I was I could shake but hoping as time goes on it will go away!!xx

You know we’re in the same boat I’m so glad things are going well, you must be so relieved!

I don’t think I’ll be able to breathe if and until I have a healthy baby in my arms it’s now 4 weeks since the scan and I’m a huge ball of anxiety again. It’s so bloody hard.

[Mrs_MT in reply to lizzybee81]

We can be anxious together! Hope you are doing ok otherwise. How many weeks are you now? X

Hi, I’ve been scouring the forum. I’m 8 wks today and up until now have been really really nauseous - not always sick but nausea from morning to night and not able to eat properly. I’m expecting twins.Today I woke up and nothing. No nausea at all. Initially I was relieved because I’ve been so miserable but now I’m really worried.

Anyway I found your post and take some reassurance from it. I’m so terribly sorry you lost one of your babies - I am worried that that has happened to me to.

Im trying to decide whether to book in a private scan or not. I guess if it’s a private scan and something is wrong what am I going to do?

Did you have more private scans? Wishing you well for the rest of your pregnancy x

[Mrs_MT in reply to Cassie_56]

Hello! Congratulations On your twin pregnancy! Yes I have had two private scans and third one booked tomorrow. My first private scan was at 9 weeks to check on baby 1. Scan 2 was at 11 weeks so that hubby could see baby as he wasn’t allowed in for the 13 week scan. Tomorrow is so that we can find out the gender 🥰. It is such a personal choice about going for private scans. I had friends tell me it’s not good to go so regularly as wouldn’t help my anxiety and I have other friends with normal pregnancies who go for private scans regularly. So it really is what works for you! For me, I couldn’t wait until 13 weeks to find out if baby 1 had made it or not. If it’s bad news, I just want to know ASAP so I can process it all sooner. I hope that helps you to decide what you want to do. Don’t worry about the nausea coming and going. Honestly I had days where I’d wake up next day and suddenly felt great - like I was back to normal. The most it would last was three days. Thankfully settled now but still feel a bit sick after every meal. All the best on your pregnancy, enjoy the good feeling while it lasts! Xxx
