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 overindulgence

Hello folks. Your knicker-checking antics have kept me rather amused over the past few days. Bravo!
It's day 10 in the Big Brother House of my mc today, roll on the end of this blood-fest. Went for lunch with my preggo colleague today only to be told that since she's now preggo following a mc I shouldn't dwell on things and should just move on. I do wish people would keep opinions like that to themselves. I'll bloody well move on in my own good time. [rant over].
Am feeling pretty ok about things all considered, but can't wait to get cracking with "the fun bit" (dtd) again. The blood-fest keeps stopping for a few hours (at which point I cheer) only to return on my next trip to the loo. Rubbish! Ah well, more "patience is a virtue" practice needed methinks

Oh, midge make it a tinto, so much better for you (and baby) than straight rioja and then you can have more

Yes, Thriller was... ok. We were in middle the second row of stalls and unbeknownst to us there are elements of the show that are a leeeetle bit like being at Butlins: that is, audience participation. Standing up, shouting, waving arms, clapping, 'dancing' (inverted commas as no movements I can make these days are akin to dancing...) and we were directly under tha gaze of the cast as they encouraged aforementioned participation. Now, my irritable uterus tends to go hard with the slightest physical exertion... cue me holding a hard stomach for some of the show thinking 'don't let this be it, don't let this be it...'. Kinda distracting. But the actual show was pretty good - the cast are talented bar one guy who I could not STAND Is it mean to link and point him out? TOUGH! THis is him - he had a scary face that seemed to have had some 'work' done and a voice that was sometimes great but mostly 'stage school' sounding and occasionally tone was all wrong. Me? Fussy?

Conversely, though, the kid who played young Michael Here, is clearly naturally talented although frighteningly thin. I worry he's being affected by the Business of Show

DD is still very ill - I actually have a thread in chat about her so won't repeat here...

blue there is talk of me being induced. It's what I want, or at least before all this measles business has blown up in my face... now I want him to stay in until I can be sure DS1 and 2 aren't going to get ill too.If they get past early next wek without showijng symptoms we're probably in the clear... but I can't see this baby hanging on that long.

I, too, am incredulous at all this PKC. It's given me many a smile over these last few days

tits I've spent much of this pregnancy feeling, shall we say, less than happy? I'm really no good at seeking support/help and so this is kinda 'do as I say, not as I do' advice, but do speak to your gp (not the rubbish one who wants to ration anti-sickness meds... what happened with that in the end?) or midwife (maybe midwife will be better. They have teams that recognise how important it is to address antenatal depression (and for us to suffer it is no surprise - the mental torture of pregnancy after a loss is a lot to deal with for the average person - just being pregnant again isn't the cure-all we sometimes get caught up in imagining it is...). So, yeah. Oh, and it IS early to be pickig up the baby's HB. Tht early sometimes I could get it, sometimes I couldn't. If they're hanging out 'nearer the back' or... something, you just won't get it. So try not to metal too much and as jaffa says at least get a drink into you woman!

tits sorry you are feeling so blue.
blue you've come a long way baby.

No public knicker checking here today in Spanish Spain. But some laying around and sunbathing and I may even have a small cheeky glass of Rioja later.

Thanks bluecrane your mmc experience sounds really tough but I will take comfort that still within the year you are where you are now I'd not heard about the pessary thing hoping that I maybe won't have to have that but saying that if the scan shows no change then I've already set my mind that the sooner I can have an erpc the sooner I can try and get my body back and ready to ttc again

Tits do you feel any better this afternoon ?

Afternoon all! I have been at the public knicker checking antics you ladies have been up to!! at you eating your lunch whilst reading the thread marthas how are you doing?!? Hope all's well!!

manda hope you made it through Thriller last night and DD doing ok...and how's bump? Any movement yet? Do I remember correctly that you might be induced in the next few days might be losing the plot and remembering this totally wrong

Now that my DM has arrived I am really hoping that LO decides to make a move v soon as I'm feeling rather uncomfortable now! Also can't really believe that I've been on this thread for almost a year and that it's only 10 days until the anniversary of my 12 week scan when the MMC was found last year! What a learning curve and crazy year this last one has been!

tits hope the food and activity get LO moving around so you can find the HB and put your mind at rest.

mumtum so sorry you are still waiting. So glad your boss was understanding. My body fooled me for quite some weeks last year with ongoing preg symptoms after everything had stopped growing (at 5-6 weeks but MMC not found until 12wk scan and at '14 weeks' I had to have a pessary before they could even do the erpc as my body hadn't realised anything was wrong at all!!). Really hope you get some answers v soon!!!

Right...think I may need an afternoon nap!

Tits, I'm sorry you are down. Try and nibble few things and have a nice sugary drink. I hope you are feeling better soon x

missC

Glad your boss is understanding mumtum

I'm 13+4 I know it's early but I have found it twice before, although after my last post I had realised that again it was 24 hrs since I ate or drunk anything which I know I'd really not good at all.
I'm not metalling so much as feeling really low and down; proper sobbing because I just feel so unhappy, I don't know why or anything, I seem
To be in the depths of depression for some reason and all I am managing to do is lay in bed and zone out.

Well if you want to eat your lunch whilst reading a thread primarily about mucus and AF and unexplained gushes and tinges and fluids and gunge-related items ;)

Glad your boos was nice mumtum hang in there.

How many weeks are you now tits I would say don't doppler metal but I am a proper doppler metaller which is why I haven't had one this time.

high fiiive to mumtums boss

can i just say i am on my lunch and was eating a sandwich during the explicit instructions of public knicker checking

why-did i ever ask

Glad your boss was understanding mumtum and hope you can keep yourself distracted til the scan.

Meanwhile, I am hooked up to my Own Personal BP Machine. I am working from home (ok, to a certain extent "working") because damn, the thing is noisy and it goes off every half an hour. Poxy blood pressure. Also must avoid looking up the mother and baby endangering effects of uncontrolled high blood pressure.

Oh mumtum thanks for taking the time to give me advice when I'm just being silly even though you're having such a difficult time.
I'm glad your boss was understanding, can you do anything at all the keep busy round the house until Friday? I know that is much easier said than done.
Thinking of you. X

X posts tits

It's just the preggy hormones causing the sore skin and the mood changes hun so try not to metal over this bit

As for the Doppler they are notorious upto 15 weeks for being difficult to use. Much as you want to wallow get up and about if u want to and get you moving this will cause little one to move then try the doppler later again

Morning ladies
I bit the bullet and explained to my male boss what is happening and why I didn't want to travel from Essex to Birmingham today for a 2 day event. He was so understanding it was such a relief he's told me to work from home if I feel up to it or just relax what ever works for me. So relieved as I couldn't bare the thought of naturally beginning to mc whilst away from home. Problem is Now i have 2 more long days stretching ahead of me before the scan

Symptoms are back with a vengeance... Actually back to vomitting again and boobs to sore to mention I KNOW my body hasn't realised the bean has stopped growing cos I've not started bleeding or cramping so I KNOW these symptoms are just due to the Hcg in my system but it's so upsetting that I still feel pregnant :( wish I could go in early for the scan but they've already brought it forward a week so they won't make it any earlier

Sorry to all the ladies who got af

Manda has your dd temp broke yet?

Martha how's you today ?

Maybe I can spend the day practicing surreptitious public knicker checking

Have a good day all xx

Gah, you know they tell you that getting a Doppler may cause worry if you then can't find a HB? Yeah this is me this morning.
I'm sure I felt a wiggle or 2 yesterday but no sign on HB on the Doppler this morning even though I've found it last week fine.

Sensible me says obvs he/she has moved so I can't catch it, metalling me is well .... Metalling.

Plus my skin is really sore, wtf is that about?! I'm tempted just to wallow in bed today, although DP is already getting annoyed at my lack of contact this past day or so. I guess I'm just feeling really down and I'm not sure why

Glad I'm not alone kirrin its starting to really annoy me, I've got some of those cool n soothe forehead strips but they only soothe it for a short time.

confusedmum I understand how you feel, dp withdrew a bit when the time came so to speak but after an erpc in december I was pregnant again in march, the one month we stopped trying and only dtd twice none of the pregnancy lark makes sense to me.

Morning all.

I'm sorry for everyone who has got their periods. I brought some cheap pg tests from superdrug yesterday and will check whether there are still any pg hormones left in my system this morning. The spare test in my bathroom was a cb digital and I wasn't going to waste that telling me I wasn't pg! Not sure I'm ready to have it spelt out for me.

Am frustrated with DH, after a promising start, he seems to have gone in a sex strike. I know it's a long shot to get pg so quickly after mc, but I can't help feeling he's holding out on me. It's frustrating as I suppose I just want to put the mc behind me, get pg and get back on track with the future I thought I was having before the mc. But then I'm the type of person who just wants to fix things ASAP. I think he is scared to try again. Any advice?

Have a good day everyone.

Sorry about the afs arriving :(

state I've been getting constant headaches, it's really wearing after a while.

manda hope your DD is feeling better soon.

No that's fine, honesty is what this thread Is for.

Anyone else get headaches? I'm fed up of them now.

I get that too, whenever I have actually bled though I don't feel anything. sorry if I sound mean, it wasn't intended
