Thinking of.... hairy; ladybee; digi; A&R; barbie; harassed; MumTum; Knitter, Kat2504

It seems we just have 1 scannee this week - my fellow marsupial wombat tomorrow - good luck with that.

Great news mummya and measuring ahead of dates too! (although understand you not changing the stats). Will you still go ahead with the blood tests or happy to leave as is with the good results? I am v by no baked beans! Do you get visitors to bring them along with PG Tips?

Thanks everyone for your well wishes - nothing more since sun night so relaxing a wee bit now but by heck, these beans like to keep us on our toes! I think it was just a reminder to take things easy - weeekend in Beirut was great fun but full-on - we reckoned we walked about 16 kms in the 30 hours we had on the ground there.... Beirut itself is a fantastic city and the restoration work they've done is amazing although it's a bit strange to see the odd bullet-scarred and mortar-shelled building amongst everything (together with lots of armed police and roadblocks). We also took a side trip to Byblos, the oldest inhabited city in the world which was incredibly interesting. Quite cultured for a girls weekend really!

blackkat - mmmmm re: eggs and waffles! I had a doorstopper of an egg mayo and ham sarnie yesterday - can't get enough of it and have one in the fridge now at work to nibble on later. Sorry to hear about your black day and hope you've got through it today and will be contemplating your booking in appointment..... how's your dad doing?

Minnie - I'm with pink on UTI advice and thoughts. There are pg friendly anti-biotics out there and I'm certain there's no connection re: UTI and mc - hope you get to see a doc soon.

Hope you've all had fab Easter weekends and that for those of you back at work, enjoy your 3 day weeks you lucky things!

Also Minnie I don't think a uti can cause MC and I think there's antibiotics that are safe to take in pregnancy-maybe your GP wants to see if the UTI clears up by itself? Seems weird not to prescribe antibiotics though.

minnie Argh at the uti! Someone on here also had one early on, i can't remember what she did but maybe she's still about? I would drink lots and lots of water and unsweetened cranberry juice or take cranberry capsules (you cam get them from the healthfood shop)

Sorry mummya!! the cafe round the corner from me makes their own-maybe there's a recipe lurking on the Internet? How did the Easter eggs go by the way?

Hi

Just trying to catch up

kat so sorry for your sad news. Take care of yourself. x

mummya hope the scan goes well.

I'm 6+1 today which is 3 days longer than last time. Felt a bit sick today but don't know if I'm pretending and just hungry!

Went to gp about the brown stuff. I've got another UTI like last time. She didn't give me anything as it's so early on and i've no symptoms other than getting up for a wee in the night a lot! Now i'm worried that the UTI will cause another mc or if i get antibiotics they will-AAArgh what should i do! Anyone else had this happen with a good result?

blackkat i've done nothing either. Think it's a it early for me-bound to jinx things if i do. Although i have seen 3 lots of 3 magpies today

I think we're all worriers on this thread... Getting through one stage is just an excuse to stary worrying about the next stage.

Didn't realise today was your bad day, Blackkat - but look, it's nearly over (just in time to ring the mw tomorrow!) I'm being selfish - just want you on the list with me!

Hello all just popping my head around the corner.

WIW sorry you're having a scary time with the pink goo, glad it's cleared off. How was your girls' weekend away?

blackkat just wanted to say - I have eaten potato waffles with fried egg and baked beans every day for about a month now

Good luck for today mummya

cep I'm a fellow worrier too :(

Lara my GP knows, that's it - but here you make your own m/w appts.
I'm waiting to get my bad day (today) out of the way.

Symptoms: Been a bit sick, not much, sore boobs, want to eat eggs and potato waffles all the time (had to get up in the night last night to eat them), and am sleeping 12+ hours a day (when not eating eggs and waffles )

Thanks for the nag - DH thinks I need to get on with it too.

Blackkat - your email actually made me laugh... you've done nothing?!!!! Bless you.... Please, please - start booking your appointments... I don't want you to miss a 12 week slot! I actually really wish I could have another scan but am also too terrified. Have you had any "real" symptoms yet? Big hugs to you...

kat I'm afraid I can't help re the medical management as I had erpc after my mmc but I am thinking of you and hope you're coping x

mummya best of luck for the nuchal scan this afternoon, hopefully you won't need the blood tests x

wiw glad to hear things have settled, hope everything stays calm for you.

Lara I'm three days behind you, so you're not the baby. Try not to worry ( I know that's easy to say) but you have seen the heartbeat. Also not everyone gets MS and all the rotten symptoms, doesn't mean a thing. ((hugs))

I'm terrified as haven't plucked up the courage to do anything yet, no midwife appt booked, no scan arranged, not on the list, nothing. Terrified.

cep thinking of you

kat If you are lurking I hope you are doing ok xx

wiw I've had some pink goo to on a couple of occasions, but am reassured that it's normal; doesn't help the mentalling though does it!!

Mummya hope all goes well this pm.

to everyone else

Good luck mummya - as always thinking of you xx

cep - please don't stress. You're in a good place and no need to worry.

In answer to your question, no fly note means I shouldn't have any problems claiming back the trip on my travel insurance. Delighted not to have gone and enjoying the r+r at home.

wiw - please relax too. As the other ladies have said "pink goo" at some point seems to be the norm. If it makes you feel better though then have a scan but am sure all will be well.

Occasional mentalling here too. Am the "baby" of this thread and hearing kat's news has made me panic as to what could happen / have happened to my bean since my scan 2.5 weeks ago. My nuchal scan feels so far away and there just isn't enough going on with my body for me to feel pg. I think it'd be neurotic to have another scan without just cause and it's not long to go but am terrified. I know that a positive first step was that there was a heartbeat but anything could go wrong.

Thanks cep - Haven't had any more discharge since last night and small cramps seem to have eased off. Still worrying like mad of course....

thank you ladies, i know it's all been good so far so i don't know why i'm worrying, i suppose i am a worrier anyway.

wiw has it all settled?

mummya good luck for scan.

collie hope you're enjoying trip

Thinking of you today kat and hoping you have got some good advice re: medical management.

Hey there cep - have a sardine and a seabass to get you started..... if you think your folks would be good support, then I think tell them.... don't think you're being an idiot, just understandably anxious. You do have a lot of positives to think on - good scans, past your "bad news" dates and you are 12+2 today..... would it help to focus on the good stuff and not the bad feelings? Sending hugs.

I see you have your nuchal scan today mummya - what time is it? Good luck with that and I hope you get a good sonographer. Did you decide to ask for your own blood tests in the end?

I had a bit of a panic last night - tiny bit of pink discharge on wiping.... and a few small cramps today to add to the anxiety. I am working from home and taking it easy and have spoken to the m/w to say that I won't go for an emergency scan unless I get anything more which she concurred with. I think it's a small reminder to me not to get too complacent....

Cep fish splat! Repeat mantra 'don't worry about it until it happens'. There will be plenty of time to mourn and worry about a mc if it happens, you don't have to beforehand. Remember your scan was fine last week, that's a good thing, right?

morning ladies, i hope you are all enjoying the sunshine as much as possible.

kat i'm sorry mine was a natural, but i have recently spoken to someone who had one, she was in hosp to have the pessary and stuff and had to stay there for 6 hours.

lara glad you managed to get your no fly note, does that mean you can claim your money back?

is there anyone handy with a fish? i only had a scan on tuesday and already i'm dreading my next on the 5th, keep thinking something will have gone wrong. i have nothing that has made me feel like that, no pains or bleeding just that same old damn feeling.

i'm telling my folks next weekend, and dh made an odd comment about looking foolish if i tell them and it's not worked out, i asked how would it make me look foolish??? i'm wondering if that's got me thinking, ironically he said that before my last scan though so.... probably i'm just being an idiot.

Kat, so sorry to hear your news. Mine was natural so I can't offer any advice on medical procedures. Just remember that it doesn't mean you won't go on to have a lovely baby one day and hopefully that one day will be soon. Thinking of you.

Am absolutely exhausted today after a totally full on weekend with my friends staying. It was a total riot, I was so lucky to get great friends from my NCT group with DS. Today I'm going to have to tackle the bomb site that is the house.

Kat so so sorry to hear your terrible news :( life really isn't fair :( :(
