Freak out room for those newly updiffed after mc - Part VI

Just found out you are pregnant after a previous miscarriage and too nervous to move over the to pregnancy boards? Freaking out about spotting, cramping, symptoms (or lack there of) and nervously awaiting your first scan? Here is a lovely place for lot's of support, hand holding and problem sharing.

Courtesy of owlbooty here are the Ten Commandments of the Freak Out Room.

  1. Thou shalt check thy knickers to the point of insanity until the baby actually arrives.
  2. Thou shalt also check the loo roll post-wipeage (sorry, gross, I know)
  3. Thou shalt bore thy physician and midwife to tears with the mentalling.
  4. And thy husband/boyfriend/family/neighbour's cat.
  5. Thou shalt obsess over the absence of symptoms.
  6. And the presence of symptoms.
  7. And the fluctuation of symptoms.
  8. Thou shalt pee on a vast number of sticks and keep ClearBlue and First Response in business.
  9. The day before any scan extreme mentalling is permitted without recourse to the Haddock.
10. Self-diagnosis with Dr Google is Forbidden.

The Haddock will be applied liberally to all transgressors.

See here for the old thread.

Hi all - I just thought I'd pop in to inspect Blackkat's yummy scones and jam! ;)

I also popped in to share this momentous occasion: I puked today! (TMI alert) It was only acid and bile (so so sorry), but I was actually saying "Thank God, Thank God" throughout the 5 minute ordeal. I feel a little relieved now - I have my 9 week scan tomorrow, so am extremely nervous about that. Hoping everything will be fine this time.

Takes this quiet opportunity to open the windows, tidy up the waffle packets and hula hoops and spruce the place up.

Sets up some comfy deckchairs on the terrace so we can all enjoy the warmer weather and the view, yes this place has an awesome view! A Zen Terrace, attached to the FO Room.

Does a quick mental check to make sure there are enough chairs for those we hope join from other threads soon Smile.

Replenishes cupboards with waffles, crisps and other craving foods. Leaves freshly baked scones, clotted cream and homemade blackcurrant jam in the hope that the smell entices people in.

So we're all set and ready for a new thread

Hi all sorry have bben absent for so long.

Haven't posted or had time to go back and read but sending love to Dachs. Yesterday must have been so hard for you. truly heartbreaking.

Had a mini freak out of my own a couple of days ago. Had cramping in the night, seemed like it was regluar, every ten - fifteen minutes or so, hardly slept a wink. Felt terrible the next day although after a trip to the loo (tmi sorry) I discovered it was just constipation cramps Blush I really panicked though.

Hope everyone else is ok. Will promise to keep up better :)

hadrian · 03/06/2011 19:38

dachs I was thinking of you yesterday. The ceremony sounds beautiful. I hope having a chance to say goodbye in such a lovely way helped you and DH in some way.

yrmotbfp I'm 10+1 and the last few days have felt a lot less pg. Have had two good scans but still can't believe this is going to work out. Last night and today I have had a general feeling of doom which I'm trying to shake :(

I am going to see Take That in London in July which is something to look forward to! Let me know what it's like

Blackkat · 03/06/2011 18:54

minnie glad all went well at the scan Grin.

I'm suffering with bra problems too, bravissimo was my next stop....oh dear!!

Great that you are up for a northern meet up too!!

Blackkat · 03/06/2011 18:53

irene great news, pleased for you on the make-up front!! Grads are on the pregnancy thread. Hope you are having a nice eve.

lara we're not twins, my dates stay the same but by NT measurement was 1.6 mm, once acrobat bean had calmed down enough for the lady to measure him/her. I ended up having to lie on my side, took about 20 mins all in all, but meant we got lots of good views!! M/w will ring me with the combined results in a few weeks.

YRMOTB Envy Envy of your Take That outing

to everyone hope you all have good wknds Smile Wink

Minnie74 · 03/06/2011 18:51

Irene fab news on your scan too

blackkat any scan news?

Minnie74 · 03/06/2011 18:51

Hi
Just popping in to say NT scan seems to have gone ok the sonographer said. Just got to wait for blood results on Tues but I'm was just so relieved to see a beating heart that I'm pretty chuffed anyway. Grin

dachs beautiful reading. Was thinking of you lots yesterday x

blackkat collie i'd be up for a northern meet up x

Still bra stresing! I nearly cried in Bravissimo this afternoon when told I'd gone up 2 sizes in 12 weeks. Now a flaming 30gg! Even had to try on a double bloody H in one style! OMG there won't be a size bigger enough if i ever reach breastfeeding stage! Blush

IreneHeron · 03/06/2011 16:14

Can I show myself up for the dimwit that I am and ask to be pointed in the direction of the grads thread? Can't seem to find it.

Velvetcu · 03/06/2011 16:04

yay Irene on your fab scan news

collie I've had loads of dizzy/fainting spells - in fact I had one today in the car so it's all normal :)

yrmotbfp yippee for possible list joining. Have fun at take that!

YouremindmeoftheBFP · 03/06/2011 15:56

Hello folks. Thanks for the reassurances. I still feel much less pukey, but still getting up at night to wee and feeling physically wiped out constantly. So, here's hoping it's just a blip and everythings working ok in there. I never got this feeling at all with the first pg or the mc, so it's all new to me. I will pick up the courage on Thursday to join the list, I reckon, if I still feel poor!

Waves to all, have a lovely sunny weekend. I'm off to see take that on Saturday in manchester.

LaraMi · 03/06/2011 15:48

Yeyyy Irene - brilliant news... Glad all is well... Bet your DS is delighted!

IreneHeron · 03/06/2011 15:41

Hiya everyone, just posting to say the scan went well, no visible problems, healthy heart etc. We're having another wee boy much to DH and DS's delight. At least I can buy expensive make up without it being nicked or borrowed Grin.

starkadder · 03/06/2011 15:11

P S milky - me too. I felt sick with DS (never actually puked) but not at all with the MCs. Actually, one of them I felt very slightly sick for about 1 day and then fine. This time, I felt pretty terrible and actually yakked once - so I think feeling rubbish is good -although - MASSIVE DISCLAIMER it does come and go (see Rule 7 above).

LaraMi · 03/06/2011 15:10

Also - anyone at around my stage getting any weird twinges occasionally in the lowest part of stomach / pubic bone / pubic area? Sorry for TMI but it's not as low as my crotch but it's definitely far lower than my stomach. Not painful but twinges last a few seconds and go now and again. Maybe just wind or stuff moving? Thoughts anyone?

starkadder · 03/06/2011 15:10

Lara - I'm 16 weeks and am also getting the most godawful headaches...too depressing....but I plan to spend most of the weekend in bed or sitting around in the park so maybe that will help..!

LaraMi · 03/06/2011 14:50

Hello Ladies

Dachs - I hope you have strength to get through the coming days. The service sounded beautiful and perfectly fitting.

Not much in the way of MS here either and I am a puker! Horrendous travel sickness my whole life - I see it that Mother Nature is giving me respite. My sister, on the other hand (who has never been a puker), had horrific MS for the first 16 weeks. I think there is no rhyme or reason to it.

Bump - yes, it was St Georges... I am trying to tell myself that it won't be a "hotel" experience but hopefully they know what they are doing and everything else will go according to plan. It just feels so impersonal so I will be relying on my GP for any TLC. I am fully prepared now to never see the same midwife twice. Hey, what can I do? To change hospitals would just be too much stress right now (and St Georges is very convenient).

Good luck with your scan Blackkat - maybe you will jump forward and we will be twins again. I liked our symtom-sharing.

Doo - you will be able to get your revenge on the neighbours when you have a crying baby at 2am

Anyone else at a similar stage to me and in a foul mood all of most of the time....?? I am easily exasperated, hate crowds and have low tolerance levels. I also get splitting headaches every day. Drinking lots of water but still got a dull ache.

milkyway07 · 03/06/2011 14:48

Phew - okay that's made me feel alot better. I wasn't a puker with DD either - only puked (I'm loving the word puke!) 4 times with her. The only difference with this pregnancy compared to the ones I miscarried is that I actually do feel very nauseous at least once a day.

Good luck with the scan blackkat!

Bumpgrowing · 03/06/2011 14:39

ps Blackat good luck to you too!

Bumpgrowing · 03/06/2011 14:38

Nope, not a puker either!! Feel sick quite a lot...especially in the afternoons and on the tube and last night I woke at 12.30am and 3.30am and had to have crackers as I thought I was going to vom but the crackers kept it in!! Bit of wretching and if I kept doing it I probably would throw up but I try to keep calm and sip water and get past the puking bit as I really don't like the feeling.

Blackat my dates (scan was wed) were out by 4 days too so its good to hear you were the same and good that Lily has another person to reassure her.

Dachs the service sounds so beautiful and your choices of music were simply lovely. I hope, although tremendously difficult, yesterday will have given you and your DH some peace and it will be a tiny step forward for you guys xx

Irene good luck!

Lara did that happen at St Georges??

Hi to everyone else! xx
