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

DD has had pox during this pregnancy state it's one thing I managed not to metal about actually (just metalled about everything else) Have you had it?

I haven't mentioned it to docs or midwives, should I have done. I knew I'd had it as a child I remember it - unfortunately I haven't any parents to ask but I recall the calamine and itching very well! It's been weeks and weeks since now so obviously I haven't had any ill effects from being in the pox house...

State, if you had chicken pox as a child yourself you are fine. Even if you didn't 'have it', you might have had a mild version of it with no symptoms. I think there is a blood test they can do to check immunity.

Crazy metalling tonight, ds has the chicken pox! Its like the universe is against me, off to ooh docs tomorrow to get bloods done etc.

Any experience or advice?

Evening all,

missc get you and 22 weeks and narrowing down names. I salute you and the coffee bean for your advanced weeks.

martha you put that so well about Doesn't matter what any of us would do, just that we can be virtually there for each other is the most important thing.

tits so sorry the sickness continues. You have my total empathy. Just having this stupid virus has knocked my feet out from under me and at least this is going (or it bloody well better).

This weekend has one day to get better. Spent the afternoon in a&e with DD as she is still vomiting. Poor little thing like Casper the friendly ghost. Hoping tomorrow brings health and happiness to the midget household. It's DH's birthday and me and DD are too toxic to leave the house. Poor sod - some birthday weekend for him!

Oh I have loads of lollies. Orange juice ones, craved them with mini-toe, stocked up, and yeah, well - can't fancy them now.

Thinking of you Jaffa I really wish I could do something to help, I'm so frustrated for you - it's not fair, at all, and it hurts, I know :( You will get through it, as you've got through it all, and it will be OK in the end, but it's a shite road to walk :( Hang in there.

Sorry you're still vomming tits have the meds worn off a bit? Is there anything you do fancy eating - are you keeping fluids down?

manda sounds tough with your DS. Can your DH help or will only boo boo do? I've heard good things about the Gordon method of night weaning if that's something you want to do but clearly that could be very hard with baby on the way - you're doing amazingly well to function though I take my hat off to you.

midget that jam sounds minging! How are you feeling now?

Thanks martha I don't really know how 22 weeks rolled round either but here we are .... we've been talking names a lot today and have it narrowed down to four possibilities, think she'll end up with two of them as first and middle, but depends what suits.

Waves to all

Midget i just caught up with your rollercoaster of a few days, thank goodness all is well and you have a lovely bouncing bean. Same goes for you MsCoffee i get all choked up when you give us your weeks - 22 weeks now, how amazing

jaffa i have no idea what i would do in your situation but that is just not important right now. What is important is that whatever you decide, and i mean this, i am here with the other moshers to hold your hand and support you. I have homemade brownies and lots of non-judge'metal' (see what i did there? ) shoulders to cry on.

I only like the del monte orange ones as I don't like bits.

Ugh I am still vomming like a champion. Really struggling to eat, everything turns my stomach, nothing looks appealing, I have evil acid reflux as well.

I'm thinking of you Jaffa over this past/next few days.

Oh, the del monte ice lollys are ok (the pineapple ones not so great, though) but I prefer the ones you get in waitrose made from freshly squeezed oj that have little bits in them...

Another crappy night with DS2 waking every - on average - one to one and half hours. He'd go straight back to sleep once he had his 'boo boo' (ie gets my boob in his mouth) but the constant disturbance/waking is killing me! Hopefully it's just one of those things and he'll improve again soon. Else I'll be starting with a newborn from a point of utter exhaustion

They're amazing leedy I fear ill end up in debt to del monte haha!

OH GOD JUICE LOLLY SOUNDS AMAZING RIGHT NOW.

In minor woes news, I have a streaming cold on top of feeling pregnant. It is shite.

Manda, that link is very hopeful isn't it. Thanks for posting. X

Now those doughnuts sound ok. Proof that the virus may be on its way out.

Leedy, thanks for popping on here tonight and making me smile with your hideous jam.

Welcome polka.

I was given some bacon jam. Thought it sounded lovely but it was in fact just weird fatty jam. Although I wasn't pregnant then.

FFS, to quote jaffa quoting the ginger one*

leedy To quote midge quoting Ronald Weasley... Are you mental?!

It is as if designed for pregnant ladies. Though possibly not as good as bacon-maple-apple doughnuts.

Cross posted... that'll teach me to not refresh before typing away.

Welcome, polka

and, wait a minute. leedy? Bacon jam? What in the world?!

midge We all have a 'right' to our feelings and as jaffa points out, you're more than qualified to worry/metal with the best of 'em... although, your baby is fine! So sorry you and DD are so poorly though - norovirus really is the pits. Both DS2 and I had it back to back and then DD after us a couple of months back.

jaffa thread here on MN where a few women seemed to have results similar to yours... yet only one has a semi-bad outcome

I know that doesn't automatically mean you're ok, but it bodes well, I think. Especially with your soft markers being ok. Are you ok? Physically, I mean? No crampy-crampy?

Polka another one whose been through a whirlwind of highs and lows. Sorry you've found yourself here, but welcome.

Jaffa amen to the 'head fuckery* sister. Glad you've had a good rage, it does the power of good sometimes. Thanks for your kind words.

Starting to feel slightly human and DD is looking less like she will need a trip to a&e as managing to keep down a bit of fluid at last. She looks awful but got a little spark so hoping we are over the worst. Bleeding seems to be calming down, life is retaining slightly more perspective.

Midge, to quote Ron Weasley, 'Are you mental!'

You are not having a pity party- you are pregnant, ill, have ill child, history of miscarriage and you were bleeding in a&e yesterday. If you are not allowed to feel sorry for yourself, no-one is! I am so glad you had good news yesterday, but completely get you being freaked out. It is hard sometimes, posting on here, but I do it because although kind and sympathetic people in RL are lovely, and can relate to the grief, I don't think anyone can quite understand the head-fuckery involved unless they have lived through it themselves.

I am feeling slightly more measured, I think I have exhausted my own rage against the world for today. And one day nearer to an answer.

Thank you all for your loveliness. It has really helped. X
