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

Blackkat you should have told us! Soooo very glad all is well for you, and great that you got some pics.

To the sleepy ones.......have a big glass of cold water!

Lara stop Googling and stay away from MC board!! Although there are many lovely ladies over there, I can't go on there any more. Incidentally, that's what we do with our brown bananas too...... in a bag in the freezer though. 2 mins in the microwave and they're squidgy for mushing and putting in cake.

I've already had one bag of Pickled Onion Monster Munch and really want another..... no wonder I'm bursting out of my clothes!!! I have eaten masses of fruit though, I'm addicted to melon at the moment. My cravings are very fickle though, the fridge is full of hummous that I "had" to have and now don't want.

Really pleased to hear its so far so good Dachs x

Blackat that is AMAZING news So so sorry you had to go through all of that scare though - how awful for you and DH but thrilled for you that the scan was all good and you got to see some lovely piccys!!!!!

Lara I think it must be that crisps are tasty whereas lets face it..most fruit doesn't taste of much. I keep getting metalic taste in my mouth around the time I go home from work and so when I get home I just want to stuff crisps into my mouth to get rid of the taste.

Just updating my dates

OMG Blacckat - another scan... that's awesome... Sorry you had a period of panic but hope it's been replaced now by an overwhelming sense of calm. So excited that you saw bean and that is awesome that you now have some pics to look at to keep you going until the scan (which if I recall is a little late, right?)

Bump - I am addicted to crisps - craving salt and vinegar hula hoops. The sweet and salty popcorn sounds fab. Will have to invest in a bag (Itsu is a lovely five min walk away!)

Katherine - thanks for the banana encouragement but it is utterly unappealing right now. (In fact, have brought one to work each day for the past week and then taken it home after it's turned a nice shade of dark brown whereupon it's ended up on a plate ready to be turned into banana bread)

Dachs relieved to hear that your temperature is normal and that the pups are sitting tight. Have everything crossed for you and DachsDH and pups Hope you have a more restful day and evening xx

Izz so pleased to hear that the NT scan went well xx

Hello to piglet, RUE and updiffed good to see some of you braving the list.

Wishing good luck to all the scanners tomorrow Collie, Lara, Minnie, Harassed, Banana

News from here, started to bleed yesterday aft, wasn't too worried as I'd had a little bit before, but it was still coming last night and this morning so went to EPU, with my overnight bag packed expecting the worse.

Sonographer was amazing, found HB straight away 160bpm and showed us everything face, brain, elbows, hands, fingers etc etc. Apparently bean has long legs and long feet! DD confirmed and either I've gained a day or lost one in the lists.
My bleed was the placenta impanting itself apparently and getting comfy, and, I'm told, is very normal. She also had a quick squiz at my ovaries and suggested that they weren't in fact polycystic at all...hmmmm . Also got 4 cheeky scan pictures, so am feeling so relieved and reassured, and all this from the NHS EPU, I may have to eat my words.

minnie hope this offers some reassurance x

Didn't want to post earlier ladies bcs I didn't want to bring any more sad news to the thread until I knew either way for sure.

Ha just seen your other post. I was actually in a daze...I think its called sleeping with your eyes open...

Awh hun I'm not surprised you can't concentrate. Just think though by the end of day tomorrow you will have seen something wonderful and your mind will have been put at rest (a tiny bit...of course the freaking out will also continue). Hopefully the meetings will at least take your mind off it for a little while....

I too am all bout the muller-rice at the mo...and crisps. However I have found a delicious snack (doesn't give you any energy however so don't get too excited) in place of crisps....its salty and sweet popcorn mixed together in a bag. OMG delicious. You can get it in Itsu. Very low cal. Got nothing really bad in it (well there is salt but then so has crisps) and they are better for you than crisps.

Had a few medium level pains this pm so have a hot water bottle on my back...making me even more sleepy....

lara eat that Banana - it'll give you some energy! x

Bump, calling Bump. Are you sleeping? Or perhaps you'd rather sleep than talk to the likes of my neurotic self

Bump - I feel the same... Plus I am PETRIFIED for my scan tomorrow and so simply can't concentrate at work. DH even suggested I feign sickness to go home (but I have two meetings later this afternoon). There is work I should be doing but I just can't. After promising myself I'll stay calm I started googling things I really shouldn't like "missed miscarriage rate at 11 weeks" (I even tiptoed into the miscarriage thread and looked at terrifying things I shouldn't go anywhere near).

I am also knackered. I wish I had a pack of something very chocolatey to graze on (that I can pick at - think M&Ms, Maltesers etc) but all I have is a Muller-Rice and a banana.

Ooh Dachs just seen your new post. Glad the temps are still ok. Stay off your feet and keep resting. PIL are SO insensitive. I would have kicked them out! xx

Help. Please help. I cannot stay awake. Its only 2.15pm and I can't leave work for another 3 hours and 15 minutes at best and I am not going to make it. I've been tired but this is ridiculous. How are you all managing to keep your eyes open?

I have done no work for the past hour as it is taking everything I have not to close my eyes. Have considered going to the toilet and sleeping with my head resting on the toilet roll holder for five minutes but there is a good chance I will be so asleep I will fall off the loo and onto the floor and then someone will think I have collapsed and will get our facilities team to remove the door and rescue me.

Please can someone talk to me to keep me awake...preferably for the next three hours?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

dach glad to hear your temps are ok. can't believe your pil that is really insensitive.

dachs Glad to hear the temps are still low. it's a step in the right direction. Thinking of you x

Thanks Lara Im not 100% of dates so will update when I know how much I am updiffed LOL

Still thinking of Dachs

Just popping in to send huge African hugs & love to Dachs - you are in the right place, keeping everything crossed for you xxxx. Why does nature have to be so cruel? :(

Good move on adding yourself to the list updiffed

Step by step, Dachs. Make sure you don't leave that sofa / bed - remember what one of the other ladies said, those pups are stickers. Proper little fighters.

I totally agree re insensitivity of PIL...

Good to hear from you and if you need anything, we're here.

Dachs don't forget that the fluid replaces itself - the genius work of your body. Grrr to insensitive PIL. Please take good care of yourself and eat some yummy things. Thinking of you every minute of the day.

So just saw the doc again. Still a question of just sit and wait. no more scans for a few days either :(

Temp still not going up. This is the good thing for today.

Still leaking fluid though.

In other news the PIL came to visit and brought 14month old nephew and 3 year old niece with them. Insensitive at all?

Thanks very much , if you want to add me Ian 4+2. thinking of you Dachs fx for you.

Awww Doo - I promise, it didn't sound annoying. I suppose I was just chuckling to myself cos right now, work is the last thing that motivates me. Can't stand the bloody place. In fact just biding time till I go on mat leave (positive mental attitude as always, Ladies). In fact, I did pass the time this AM preparing my legal case against my stepmum who's contesting my Dad's will (beatch). It's actually a great way to pass the hours and burn any tension.

Harassed - you're seriously a grandmother? Wowsas - good on you... I bet you're a seriously young grandmother then (and from the sounds of it, a very glam one).

Daisy - can I have some chicken soup? Not cos I'm ill or anything, but just cos I'm ravenous.

Minnie - hope you're relaxing at home. Remember, as the other ladies say, brown is okay!

Hairy - the only thing that stops me feeling crap is constant eating... I don't think I'll ever be calm. I want this baby sooo badly that when he / she is born I will probably not let him / her out of my sight until he / she goes to university.

Where are you Blackkat?
