    Aww we are really near then :) its so exciting! I definitely couldn't wait until 20 weeks! Desperate to buy a little outfit!

    My private scan felt so much more personal and special so I'm happy we'll get to find out in that environment :) xx

    Lovely scan news girls😍 lovely pictures too. X

    Talk bras to me ladies?! Any recommendations...maternity or not,underwired yay or nay?

  • Options

    Tam... I definitely recommend the nursing ’sleep bras’... they have like a criss cross design on the front and are SOOOO comfortable! Kind of like a pregnant boob friendly sports bra looking thing. They have some five so will grow with you & as the name suggests, are great for when our babies are here and if you decide to nurse. My boobs grew so much already that I have dug out my maternity bras from last time and am already wearing them! 

    i wouldnt recommend underwires.. eapecially at this early stage unless you want to keep rebuying them as your rib cage expands during pregnancy so the underwire Will start to dig in & get sore. I had a maternity underwired one & it was so uncomfortable that I hardly wore it. 

    Last pregnancy I was able to get away with wearing some of my regular bras (including underwire) by using bra extenders for a while and I would recommend doing that as they are cheap and easy to use... I was able to use them until about 7 months I think which by that point I went for a proper fitting at a maternity shop and they were able to judge how much more I would grow by the end and I got bras to accommodate that.

    Ugh! Bad day here! It’s my wedding anniversary and hubby is away (third out of 5 we’ve spent apart!) & I woke up at 2.20am today with terrible nausea (worse than normal) & it’s been constant since then 😢. My poor little guy has had pretty much no attention today and I’ve just sat him watching Mickey Mouse all morning so I can rest / run to the bathroom! I feel so bad about It but try to remember it’s only temporary! He’s such a sweetheart too... earlier in the week I threw up on the kitchen floor & he looked super concerned & said “mummy go a doctor?” Then On Wednesday he came in while I was throwing Up in the bathroom... he started rubbing my back and said “it’s ok mummy”. I can’t get over how sweet & empathic he is at only 2 1/2!!

    Before I leave this thread I wanted to tell u all about my experience I'm hope that it will help someone one day

    Tuesday night I broke down knowing I was in weds to be induced ( I ended up in hospital Monday anyway as I was bleeding and they said a miscarriage was looking likey) I was so scared 

    All ibwill say is the NHS have been faultless  in the wonderful and sensitive care I have recieved. A private LARGE ensuite room with sofa bed. Even my hospital bed was made with A beautiful floral duvet and pillow case to make it homely. 

    I was induced at 8.30am and ended up on labour a whopping 36 hours in total. Throughout that time I was given any pain relief I wanted, constantly monitored and had bereavement midwives attend. I had no restrictions on visitors and visiting hours. 

    I ended up on morphine for pain relieve and had yo per in bed pans to monitor wee and blood loss. After my partner went for a coffee yesterday I went for a wee and my little Maisey Rose Hudson slipped out into my bed pan with no warning and so painlessly. She was encased in her bubble of fluid fast asleep so perfect and undisturbed. The only wish I had and it came true x I didn't dare look as I wasnt sure I had passed her as it was with no warning so told midwife and they took her away then told me it was her. I felt so much relief that she had done that way in her little dream bubble 

    I had yo stay in yet another night and have placenta removed today and was finally allowed out. I'm not gonna lie I am battered bruised emotionally and physically  from tests and cannulars and removal of placenta and I am so weak now. But my Maiseys delivery was perfect 

    She's now a little angel in heaven and we have ordered a rose and had it named after her so we can sprinkle her ashes into the soil and she can flourish in the beauty of her rose 

    We love and miss her so much and I am so heartbroken. But I will say this. The NHS are amazing and the care has been outstanding. Including the aftercare package I've recieved.the midwives even said how our situation touched all of their hearts and one even got upset  

    I hope my story one day helps someone. Xxx love to u all and ur precious babies xxx

    Susie and Maisey Rose xxxx
