big hugs for teacake I really hope things turn out OK xxxx

tunnocks glad you are going to the epu tomorrow and I really hope it isnt the news you are expecting.

hotnspicy gimme that cake! We are gonna go for a scan at 7+ something and if all is well we'll ask him to move out. I know it's still early days but whatever happens after that point I wont want him around. 2 more weeks to get through though :(

You lot have chatted sooooo much today!

One of our technicians at work who guessed I was pg last time came up to me today and gave me a big hug and asked if I was ok. I didn't think I was doing that bad! Do you think she knows again?? It's very strange if she does!

nix hope you and your bump are doing ok today.

I wouldnt mind a list too so we know how far along everyone is.

that should have read "meeting people"

Waves to Louise!! It's weirdly and sadly exciting people who were on the thread with me initially since I got the dubious honour of longest on thread with no conception. A prize I hope no one tries to compete with. I really hope things come good for you at last.

Thanks Digital hope you re progressing well? XX

Emoo hit a wall of tiredness earlier so only just got round to baking the giant vanilla cupcake with chocolate buttercream from the Primrose Bakery cupcake recipe book. It's currently in and I don't know what smells better, the cake, or the beef and ale stew cooking in the slow cooker. Whicheer it's making me salivate as didn't have lunch after consuming most of the bag of pretzels!
When said cupcake is cooked I shall be sharing the wealth (virtually :( what a shame it can't be RL)
Teacakes good luck tomorrow, you need some answers. Glad you got to speak to nice Doc in the end! & cupcake for you.
Nix extra large slice of cupcake for you, if you can manage it!
Velvet extra large piece for you too to make up for inconsiderate BIL! How's that going by the way???
Everyone else help yourself when it is served

(((hugs))) teacake will be thinking of you tomorrow

DD hugs to nix too

In fact hugs to everyone

Teacake just hugs, hope you're ok.

((((((teacake))))))) I don't quite know what to say, apart from being so very sorry, but it sounds as if you are being well looked after at least. I've always found the docs to be spectacularly kind once you get past the dragons that guard them. I hope your trip to EPU tomorrow is not too traumatic, and I will continue thinking of you. x

Oh teacake huge hugs coming you way. I'll be thinking of you in the morning and hoping beyond hope that it is not the news you expect xxx

Hugs for Nix too on your due date. I hope the day isn't as difficult as you feared xxx

Nics Sending you hugs on your due date too. Hope you are doing okay, I guess it's a hard day to work through but thinking of you.

Wombat Great news on the scan.

I have now re-booked mine. They don't like to scan before 12 weeks at good old Warrington hospital so I will now be nearer 14 weeks when I have mine as I'm on hols the week before. I feel a private scan booking coming on.

One of the girls at work announced her pregnancy today, I sooooo want to be joining her and making my own announcement. Am rubbish at taking one day at a time.

nix just popping in to give you a big (((hug))) on your due date. Thinking of you xx

x-posted, fab news on the good scan wombat.

Fingers crossed for all those waiting on ante-natal test results.

Have been lurking lots over the weekend, but in a bid to try and curb my obsession with minute by minute symptom watch I'm trying to limit my posting.

Hi to lou sorry to hear about the recent CP. I remember just joining the grads thread last year as you came back from the hospital . I left shortly after joining, but have always been pleased to see your name pop up from time to time...hope its not long before we see you on another ante-natal thread.

Quite a bit of backache today. Hoping that it's a 'good' symptom. Have also been quite tired. Again, secretly pleased.

nix (((hugs))) for you on your Due Date.

OK - can we have a list, i cant remember how far along everyone is....

Fab news wombo xxx

I guess brown is just the way forward.... at least bean is fine xx

Hello all! Gosh I've missed so much over the last few days!!! I'll have to read back and catch up later. Hope you're all doing okay and the bleeders and crampers are all hanging on in there!?! Brown blood seems to be a daily ooccurance for me now.

Had my dating/nuchal scan this morning and all looks oksy touch wood. I have to wait a week to 10 days for the blood test results and the overall risk calculation so I'm going to be on tenterhooks waiting for that one!

s all round and I hope everyone is having a good Monday (as Mondays go!).

Right. Now to catch up...

Midwife visit (I'm 8+3, robin, and thanks for the good luck wishes) was a bit surreal, to be honest. Felt like a bit of a fraud being there at all. Was fine though (until they weighed me.. )! No problems getting EPU referral - just mentioned the words "bleeding" and "rhesus negative" in the same sentence and she was on the phone to them before you could say "anti-D"! I have a scan on Thursday (8+6).

Teacake - have been thinking of you. You hit the nail on the head with the "terror-hope combo". I agree - letter of complaint to surgery is appropriate, given that bleeding in early pregnancy could easily be first sign of an ectopic, you should have been assessed by someone medically qualified or directed to a walk-in centre or similar if your own surgery was full.

Pink, Tony, MummyA - well done for being brave and posting in that other place. I have read it, and was about to compose a long post about how they could use others' less-positive experiences to cognitively reframe their own and make themselves feel happier about things. But I decided I couldn't be arsed...! and from the other responses I think some are happier being miserable iyswim.

Pink - 10 weeks - wow - double figures!!! I am desperate to hear everyone's plans for responses when asked to give up their seats!!

Cep - yes it's safe - come in, have a mini-egg, and welcome to insanity! There's a whole bunch of bleeders, gooers and crampers on here to keep you company, not to mention fanjo-twingers !

Nix - Fingers crossed for a low risk Downs test for you, and I hope you are being kind to yourself on this special day . By the way, you paint a delicious picture of you naked in the bath! I have to admit to having expanded, er, a little (mainly comfort-eating after MC though), and managed to create a dammed-up backlog of water behind my arse in the bath when I pulled the plug out the other day... didn't notice it and it all rushed through as I stood up, and made me jump!

A&R - thanks for your toast to good scans and well-behaved secretions! Not to mention the choccie biccies...

Knitter - good work using the slimming as a drinking excuse - glad you had a good weekend. It's so lovely to find things to do to keep your mind busy.

Daisy - don't worry if you wibble at the MW - I'm sure they're used to it! Good luck.

Love - nice to see you here again... bloating also a problem here, with jeans feeling a bit on the tight side. Well, I'm blaming it on bloating. Not cream cakes, mini-eggs, etc. I hope you manage to get your scan rearranged soon.

Loola sweetheart, thanks for the hug!

Robin - I have also gone off tea unless it is builder-hot, for some reason. Everything just tastes odd, and too sweet. Not that that's stopped me from eating sweet stuff!

Onions - well done on getting to 6 weeks without a scare. Long may it continue! And I look forward to your cupcake... giant sounds good!

Dachs - not heard from you for a while (unless I blinked and missed it) - hope everything is going well for you.

Afternoon to you all! Special waves to Daisy Owl Robin Nix Teacake Knitter Emoo Lovemy Pink Mummya Tony and anyone else I may have missed. Hope Monday is being kind to you all after such a busy weekend of postings!

I keep forgetting I'm PG and keep pushing it to the back of my mind, although I have told a few friends and have a girls night tonight, so will probably spill the beans there too. I'm rubbish at keeping it quiet! I just keep thinking, it's been two weeks since I tested and they've flown by, relatively uneventfully. Just hoping the next (FX) 34 weeks do too!! Am seeing GP next Weds so will find out what she thinks about early scan etc.

Off to bake some giant cupcakes now, I shall drop one off in here soon. & beanbags at the ready!

Thanks the birth announcement just came through.. she had a little girl, all good, everything fine :). Delighted for her, but i did shed a little tear.

If i didnt feel like my bump is about to split out of my skin today - i would feel ten million times worst!!

Nix Just wanted to send you my sympathies about your due date. Its a really hard day, and having a friend in labour must make it that bit tougher. I know that you will always remember your little one and that he/she was very much wanted and loved. Much love xxx

daisy this is a bit leftfield so feel free to fish slap me for telling you about something that might be totally irrevant but I saw a tv program about stress incontinence and they gave the lady this weighted torpedo to put in her fanjo, and because it's weighted I think you have to work your muscles quite hard to keep it in, so she built up how long she did it from a couple of minutes to an hour at a time and it worked a treat. Probably irrelevant but thought I'd mention it just in case
