I am sorry Iona Big big cuddles as you grieve your little one.
Murray I just want to affirm to you that cramping such as you are describing is not at all unusual. Very very common - I had it with every pregnancy. Like you I expected to get my period at any moment. But I didn't! Please try and keep that positive in mind. I truly truly get how hard this is. I lost 3 little angels and 3 babies in my second trimester so I am so with you that the road is much harder after that BFP than before. You will get through this. One step at a time. Set yourself some goals. Tuesday is your next one. Then after then there is another. This for me was the only way I could get through. Sending you love.
MurrayCod - I had cramps like that too, and was convinced it was the end. I know it is hard to relax, but do try and just take one day at a time. sending sticky vibes
Milly - I have had "zero" libido. Try not to be down on yourself, it's really hard to be up for it if you are tired, anxious or feeling sick!
Iona - I am so sorry to see you go from this thread. I am sorry to hear your angel is gone. Take care of yourself.
MurrayCod - Hang in there! You only have a few more days till your scan and when you see that heartbeat I really feel your cramps will ease up as I am sure stress is playing a part in this.
Iona: oh no! I'm very disappointed for you. So sorry that your symptoms don't seem promising. I'll keep stalking to see how you are.
Murray cod: did you stay home in the end? I'm sorry you are in pain and worrying so much. I'm counting down to Tuesday with you when you get to see your baby. I can only imagine how unnerving the cramping is after all you've been through to get this BFP. I can only say again that in my experience cramping can be quite a normal part of pregnancy so i'm hoping that's all this is for you. (I've had cramps on and off this pg though not as bad as with my DD).
Millyd: ikwym. libido can leave the building and i've felt a bit guilty... like i wanted it before when TTC and now i don't so much. But it's not because 'oh i've got pg i don't need it anymore'. I can't help it if i don't feel like it. DH is pretty understanding but still lets me know that he's available any time i change my mind! I think it's hard on them because they haven't got any reason not to feel like it anymore (no crazy hormones going around) but i don't think we should have to BD a whole lot when we don't feel like it.
Milly5: hello, nice to meet you! Sorry you're uncomfortable. I don't think i have any helpful suggestions if the pillows aren't working, sorry!
Dory: Can't remember when I last said hello as we're crossing paths in a couple of threads but i think i saw somewhere that you are 26 weeks. I'm thrilled for you. Keep up the good work!
How is everyone doing? We all seem to have gone a bit quiet, is that nervousness?
MurrayCod - how are you doing Sweetie? Only one more day and you can have that scan. Can't wait to hear you tell us all how exciting it was to see the heartbeat.
MillyD - I think DH's can really feel put out after the initial excitement. I had forgotten how stressed being pregnant makes my DH and it puts him off sex rather than me. I don't even get many cuddles these days. He isn't aware he does it.
AFM - I have been quite sick this week. I have a really bad cold and blocked ears and feel ill every time I eat. I'm still not sure if the sick feeling is due to the baby or the cold because I don't usually get morning sickness but they say every pregnancy is different. I don't feel so bad today and of course that just makes me feel worried as I have become used to feeling sick. Can't wait to get over these first 12 weeks so I can stop worrying over every little sign (or lack of them).
