Just MC and ready to try again? Pregnant after MC and seeking somewhere safe to hide? Come on down to the mosh pit for some serious metalling and cake

the wedding is in about 6 weeks. it sounds more common than i realise then that dh's don't want to go to weddings.

mine always moans like hell about going to them esp. when he doesn't really know anyone. i suppose i can't really blame him in a way but i wish he would come for my benefit. i would put money on it that he is moaning on the day that he isn't coming and what is he going to do all day on his own - men!

i haven't replied to my friends text yet as i was hoping he might change his mind at work today. he rang me earlier but i didn't mention it.

it is weird to go on my own, but i will know people and probably have a better time to be honest!

i am getting very nervous for tomorrow. i keep secretly hoping that something good will happen and there will be a miracle heartbeat on the scan but i know that it a dangerous road to go down as we all know no heartbeat last week makes that very unlikely.

I am only bloody 8+4. Being a metaller I knew from conception so seems like a life time.

And here's sticking 2 fingers at AF but clinking wine glasses - the only silver lining to AF's blooming horrible cloud. chin chin Martha x

Grrrr for AF marthas time to go for a Christmas bundle!!

midget so glad mini-midget seems to be doing ok How many weeks are you now?

I want to sleeeeep....just been for a walk around the block outside to try and wake myself up but the office is just sooo warm as they haven't switched the heating off yet I would be roasting hot without beany bump pumping extra heat into me!! It's only March and I have flip flops and a sleeveless top on which is just silly...and I'm still too hot!

Afternoon all,

iq sorry you are feeling so pants, don't want to deal with snot and labour so hope it buggers off soon.

peb I would go solo, say DH now has plans for the day and get him to join you.

Scary positive woman has returned. Been to RMC at St Mary's. Scan still looking good, growing as it should. Strong little HB. They are all chirpy and positive so allowing myself to be too. They say as TEG detected and treated chances of success gone from 30% to about 80%. Still we know what it feels like to be in the unlucky 20% so trying to keep my feet on the ground.

Big wave at you all, all be it a feeble, tired wave x

PS pebs FWIW my DH would probably say the same thing as yours and not want to go!!

pebs you could easily say that DH is busy during the day as you'd thought you wee just going in the evening which elaves you free to go for the day and he can join you later on?! Is the wedding soon? I have been to a couple of weddings on my own and it is a bit odd without DH...just make sure you have a good 'reason' for why he's not there as everyone will ask!!

tits hope your appointment goes well

IQ sorry about the lurgy...rest well and hope you're doing ok! I can't seem to work out whether I have it or not...or whether it's just 3rd trimester tiredness and stuffy nose which have caught up with me (I feel exhausted!!)

I had all manner of strange dreams (nothing too weird but a bit strange from what I can remember!) last night which seemed to feature a number of you from this thread that'll teach me for Mnetting just before bed!!

Right...now I'm full of yummy scone, jam and cream I'll do some more work and try and hide the jam stain on my top from where I dropped a piece - do'oh!

i think i will be going to the wedding as i won't be missing out just because dh is a misery guts!

what excuse am i going to give for him though? should i just say he doesn't like weddings so he will just come to the evening?

i suppose we have only been invited as an after thought anyway so i shouldn't get too hung up on offending my friend. i am going on the hen do as well.

he did this a couple of years ago and after i accepted an invitation was adament that he wouldn't come. even on the day of the wedding he was saying he wasn't going. he did come and really enjoyed himself grrrr.

i know there will be other girls going on their own as they are single but i feel like a tit going to a wedding without my husband.

I don't think they'll scan, I only had one on Monday and at 5 weeks there wasn't a lot to see yet! :)

I would go to the wedding if I were you.

Hope the consultant appt goes ok tits. Will they be scanning you?

Got a question for you girls - something different for us to think about!

My friend from school (who I have only been back in touch with for a couple of years we lost touch about seven years ago) has invited me and dh to the evening reception of her wedding. She text me this morning to see if we want to come all day ( obvs someone has dropped out). I would like to go but dh will not even entertain the idea. He says he won't be going all day. He does moan about attending weddings in the part but always has a good time when he is there. He doesn't really know the bride and groom but i would like him to get to know them. Not coming to their wedding will put a dampner on that. He will come to the evening for a while. Should I go on my own or should I make an excuse for us both? Or should we just stick to the original plan of just going to evening?

Morning :)

I have the consultant at lunch time, god knows what they have to say at this early stage.
I feel decidedly queasy this morning and my sleep has been quite disturbed by restless leg, poor DP keeps getting booted in the back.

Jaffa My pain is mainly my hips and knees, the rest of me is still very flexible though, I can however still get my leg behind my head and I can still do the splits. :o

I hope everyone is well, sorry you're feeling poopy IQ.

Hi all. Sorry you feel so lousy iq and hope the lurgy passes quickly.

7+2 here now and no change. Scan on monday (about which my brother is getting excited even if I am not ). Possibly starting to get m/s - feel a little queasy in a morning, but it passes fast and I don't actually throw up, so maybe it's just my body protesting the idea of getting up.

Can I have a very early morning me me me????

Considering your all probably in bed I've decided that I can!!! Somehow I've managed to get the lergy - I feel like boiled sh#*e (can't remember who's line that is but it is appropriate so I'm using it).

So I'm lying here, wide awake in a bed full of used tissues and praying this doesn't last long.......flipping lergy!!!! On the plus side the LO seems unaffected as she is dancing in there so trying to stay positive. I've decided to take the giant malteaser downstairs for something to eat - I might as well be doing something I can still enjoy!!!

tits, I am hypermobile too! When I was younger I quite liked it, I did ballet and it was a huge help. Now, even though I still have the old party piece of being able to put my foot behind my head, I absolutely hate it. My hips in particular are really bad. Many sympathies. Are all your joints bad, or just particular ones?

tas hope you feel more like yourself soon .

pebs, I am thinking about you a lot.

msC, hope you have no more gushes. When is your next appointment.

mumtum, have a fabulous time at your wedding.

boris, I am so sorry about your experience. It is so very frustrating, particularly about the placenta. I cannot help you about pm, ironically, I only asked for my baby's placenta to be tested after my mc, but I am thinking about you. I found the consultant meeting hard, it stirred up all sorts of emotions that I had been trying to lay to rest. I hope you manage to find a way through the system to get sone proper answers.

Martha, I like your pictures a lot. Your little boy is lovely! And I am a NWer, exiled in the East, but NW in me bones!

Sorry not to do any more name checking. Hello to everyone. I have had a shit day. My DD has vomiting bug, and it has been pretty grim. She is asleep now, but keeps waking and being sick. Once the washing machine has finished, I will be getting into bed. God knows what the night will bring.

tits try not to worry about your bump. If its any reassurance I fell off a big (17 hands, over 5 ft at the shoulder) horse going quite fast when I was 14 weeks with DS. Covered in bruises and grazes ( don't worry, horse was fine). Then had to walk a couple of miles back to stables as horse pissed off back without me. No cramps, no bleeding, baby all fine. I think if they are sticky they stick.

hi all! missc yes that makes more sense, I did think after I posted that there was something amiss with my thinking, in my defence I'm not firing on all cylinders atm. At work I'm just a warm body, moving bits of paper around and avoiding people. Hopefully next week I'll be more on the ball. I had some acupuncture today, couldn't sleep last night and decided I just needed to do something to help sort myself out. I definitely feel more relaxed now and less exhausted.

pebs thinking of you still x

Evening all...the Brixton reference did make me giggle! Not sure if I've had any yet but being dc1 I'm not totally sure what to expect from them...my bump just seems to ache a lot at the moment and mini blue seems quite unhappy about my having sat at a desk all day rather than being up and about as I have been for the last week - cue mad kicking from within at my trouser waistband restricting bump! Think I was also lying about not getting a cold earlier as I definitely feel as though I have more symptoms of that variety again this evening...Ho hum!

Hope all those in full metal mode are doing ok

And another bit of reassurance: tits when I was 7 weeks pregnant with DD (my first) I was working as a waitress. I had a tray full of stuff and managed to fall down two steps. Not thinking, I held onto the tray, holding it out in front of me, hoping to save the stuff on it and kinda fell flat on my stomach. It would have been comedy gold but for the fact I was pregnant! Well, I was young and terribly naive to Stuff That Goes Wrong in those days and after having a five minute sit down carried on with my shift, feeling ok and didn't worry about it at all...

DD turned 17 nearly two weeks ago.

I really think you'll not have 'dislodged' your teeny little nipple - they are so well protected. But totally understand why you'd worry... although, your 'legs akimbo' description makes me wonder if it wasn't some nefarious plan on your DP's part to get you into position, iyswim?

Sorry, for no usual rambling namecheck-y post, just woken from an hours nap feeling groggy as hell but wanted to assuage some of missC s metalling by confirming that, this time, yup, I have been getting lots of braxton hicks (which involve less rioting than than their cousins, Brixton Hicks (showing my bloody age there! - incidently, I'm another '73er )) since 15 weeks. I thought it astonishingly early but as poppy says it seems quite common - and I find them worse if I'm dehydrated.

Oh, and loving the pics marff! There are no wrinkles on you, bloody liar!

Hee Hee "Brixton hicks" that could be something entirely different.....silly iPhone

Just a quickie from me to say to missC that I have been having what can only be described as Brixton hicks since about 14+5 or so. I had so many in the end with ds I am in no doubt as to what they are! Feels like I have to catch my breath and abdomen goes rock hard...can't quite believe they happen so early but dr google reliably informs me that it's normal...

Afternoon. :)

Just a quickie to sat hello :)

I just fell on my bum in DP's new office chair, he sits in it and leans back and looks like he is the most comfortable place ever, I sit in it, lean back and the farking thing tips and I find myself legs akimbo. Hopefully young bean is well cushioned so is safe in there.

I am very achey today, I have hyper mobility syndrome and being pregnant just aggravates it ten fold so I'm hurting!

Hope all is well. x
