Continuation of the last thread.

There's cake for scoffing, backs for patting, and screeching death metal for all your metalling moments. All welcome so come on in and get settled into the plush sofas!

Dictionary:

So settle into the mosh pit, we have special VIP area's for those on the 2WW, the new bumps metalling with segregated areas for the first/second/third trimesters and the club class cocktail bar for those who have just got AF and can get-pissed let loose for the first two weeks!

So the good news is that I might, might, be feeling kicks. I know it is tres early, but I think it might be. And puts my grumpy hat on to say, this is my 4th pregnancy, so anything might be possible.

The bad news is that I am metalling about my DD. She is in a very odd phase, tantrumy one minute, and lovely the next. She is 2, so I guess it is not odd. But what is particularly hard is she is very strong, and careless about clobbering me. She loves clambering all over me. We went swimming, and she booted me many times, (by accident), once in the tummy, quite low, just above where your leg joins. I am trying to get a grip, I read in the pregnancy manual that the sorts of blows you need to worry about are falling down stairs, car accidents, put you in hospital type things, but still, I am worrying. I have not told her I am pregnant, because I am terrified of having to untell her. For me, this is my worse time. Once this time passes, I will tell herMy late mc baby died somewhere between 12-16 weeks. I have a late scan at 16 weeks, but it will only be then that the freaking out will die down, a little bit...

Bacon cheese burgers Envy

I know I'm pregnant, I have to really fancy what I'm eating. Bacon sandwich and pringles are on the menu Blush

MarthasHarbour · 29/04/2012 18:01

tits i read that as 'we are waiting for the burglars'

Hmm

missc i loved your sashay into the thread, you might wanna - you know - make an entrance into, say, the ILs in a slightly more demure manner Wink Grin

TitsalinaBumSquash · 29/04/2012 17:45

Afternoon all, miserable rainy day here, I've been up early and gutted my whole house out with DP and the kids.
We're waiting for burgers to be delivered now then I'll be back to tidying while DP does the bedtime routine.

Not felt too bad today, feeling slightly sick now but popped an anti sickness pill so hoping it works quick enough before I blow.

We saw the Avengers yesterday, it was AWESOME!!! Grin

I have already told college I'll be in for just my exam and assessments this week and nothing else, college has been a real struggle the past coupe of weeks so I'm scaling it down this week.

I hope everyone is doing ok and not letting the mettaling fairy get the better of them.

squeakymac · 29/04/2012 15:24

Hi all,
decided to hop on this thread - went off the pill early February, had a 'period' about a month later, then found out was pregnant 2 weeks later (proof checking CM regularly helps figure what your body is up to!) - unfortunately miscarried a few days later, bleeding / spotting went on for about 2 weeks and just had first normal AF, so properly TTC again now....

Love hearing everyone elses stories - so hard when friends / sisters etc are getting pregnant at the drop of a hat! and people definitely underestimate how hard even an early MC is to go through. I didn't take any time off work during it - didn't think I needed to and then was nearly having a breakdown by the time I realised I should really have taken a couple of days to absorb everything happening!

Interested if anyone is using things like acupuncture to help TTC after MC? or any other tips / advice?

StateofConfusion · 29/04/2012 11:26

I've just told everyone who matters tiago figured if it happens again ill appreciate the support. And I'm trying to do everything different this time in hope of a different outcome.

Tiago · 29/04/2012 09:10

state I am also mentalling about the scans. I have one booked for 14.5 weeks and despite everything looking perfect at the three previous I have been convinced (at each scan) that this is the scan where they will say " sorry, but..."

I feel particularly worried now as I have officially told my dad he will hopefully be a grandad, so just feel as if I have jinxed it.

StateofConfusion · 29/04/2012 00:25

misscoffee sssh, my dp would be thrilled at only 2 wk drought, the metalling has sent me so do lally I won't let him near me, just incase. He is patient and tollerant thankfully --i however want to smother myself hahaha--

MissCoffeeNWine · 28/04/2012 23:28

Oh and manda you look fabulous dahling.

MissCoffeeNWine · 28/04/2012 23:26

Ahhh, mucus. I get lots of that. I swing between being really happy because the gush isn't my waters then metalling that it's my mucus plug coming away Blush TMI but I get more mucus after sex which does not make me randy there is something of a twice weekly drought going in in the Coffee house

Super happy for far and jaffa and sounds positive for tits I wish you all advanced kicky little beanies very soon to put your minds at rest. I have to say Little Miss Coffee seemed to know her mother is a hardcore metaller and has booted my insides regularly for the past 7 weeks, very reassuring.

Fingers crossed for Mumtum I've been there, twice, once for spotting at 6 weeks, no HB, and once for pains at 5 weeks, no HB. Both times I waited 2 weeks and went back to see a HB.

StateofConfusion · 28/04/2012 23:16

Thanks jaffa, no smell or colour just a very small 2mm maybe clear blob, I do feel ahem, rather 'wet' whilst pregnant. Seeing mw friday will mention it x

JaffaSnaffle · 28/04/2012 22:32

State, I would mention it to the MW, but probably nothing to worry about. I think cervical mucus can be a bit odd when you are pregnant, and there can be lots of it too. I think the main concerns are if there is an odd colour, if you itch or if it smells bad. Mine is sometimes a pale yellow, which 3 different midwives have now said is normal, but I metal on and will ask another when given half a chance Blush

StateofConfusion · 28/04/2012 21:57

Sorry if this is TMI, just went to the loo and had a v small blob of clear jelly type mucus, smaller than a pea but freaked me right out! Anyone?

StateofConfusion · 28/04/2012 21:52

Its reassuring to know I'm not alone in feeling like this kirrin its like I'm going crazy sometimes!

kirrinIsland · 28/04/2012 21:18

state that's exactly how I am - I had a scan last week at 11+2 and everything looked fine, but I can't get it out of my head that there will be no heartbeat at my official 12 week scan on Tuesday - this metalling is no fun :(

kirrinIsland · 28/04/2012 21:16

Sorry mumtum only just seen this - like everyone before has said, it's not over - and I second the suggestion of a private scan, 2 weeks is far to long to wait. Fingers well and and truly crossed for you.

StateofConfusion · 28/04/2012 19:54

Evening all.

Been talking to dp about everything finally, both of us feel excited but in our heads nothing gets past the scan, I try really really hard to imagine a positive outcome but all I hear in my head is, "there's no heartbeat". And I'm driving myself crazy because other than that I feel quite positive. Sorry I'm making no sense. Its so hard to explain.

MrsPear · 28/04/2012 18:06

Just popped in for news. I am sorry that mumtum couldn't get a definitive answer. Can't offer any words of wisdom, although i am agreeing with everyone else; it's not over 'tl the fat lady sings! Thinking of you

PS do go for a private scan in a week if you can afford it, in London it is 100.

MarthasHarbour · 28/04/2012 16:16

just bobbing on to give mumtum some support, i cannot add anything to what has been said here. I agree that you are 'on the cusp' and it isnt over yet, it is still so very early so FX

Midgetm · 28/04/2012 15:46

tits small friendly slap. ITS THE MEDS. Enjoy not voming!

Mumtum I know it's hard but it is too early to tell. Could be good, could be bad, just too early to call. And worrying yourself sick wont change the outcome so you need to start 'operation distraction'. Be nice to yourself, relax, watch movies, eat cheese (Pasturised of course) and chocolate). Agree with all the good advice above, it ain't over till the fat lady sings. I had a scan at about this time with my current pregnancy and it showed bugger all. Roll on 2 weeks and a different story. If you do find a private one just make sure the minimum you are is 6.5. A scan before that will really only tell you that it is in the right place and not ectopic. 2 weeks is a drag though, dog weeks suck.

Jaffa me too on the bed front, DD dragged me out of it to watch James and the giant peach but really just transferring my doze from the bed to the sofa. Must be something in the air.

JaffaSnaffle · 28/04/2012 15:17

mumtum, I am sorry you are in limbo. Agree, if you can find out more in the interim, it would be good. Hcg tests are easy to do, i had mine done at GPs, so might be easier...

I am hiding in my bed. Had a huge meal, then got cold. Tired from the food, can't get warm. Bed is the only place to be right now!

I am trying to move house too! It is too stressful for words.

StateofConfusion · 28/04/2012 14:14

mumtum I have no more words of advice but as the others have said your at that inbetween bit where things can change so much! Take care and rest

Tennerlady · 28/04/2012 12:54

Mumtum why don't you ask them to take ur blood and see how ur hcg levels are rising the correct way even if it means going back and forth got bloods at least you have a idea how things r progressing whilst waiting the two weeks actually don't ask demand its ur right especially because of history x x

MumTumWanted · 28/04/2012 12:07

X posts thank you manda Smile that does make me feel better I will look into having a private scan I've no idea where they would do one onto google I will go Smile

MumTumWanted · 28/04/2012 12:03

Thanks to all u lovely ladies I desperately want to be upbeat and think just maybe it was a bit to early or crap sonographer or dates are out or it's just really small like me ( I'm only 4ft 10!!!) or ANYTHING but knowing with the last mc it stopped growing at 5 weeks but didn't mc til I was 8 I just wish they could have said at the scan it's a defo no there is nothing in there just like last time and not make me wait for a natural mc. Though obviously if it is some miracle then I agree why wait 2 weeks why not just the one?!? Surely ud think the epu would know much we non naive mentalling ladies will be mentalling Hmm

Oops sorry for the rant perhaps whilst I still can I can put it down to pregnancy hormones Confused

Best I leave some sticky buns and doughnuts BiscuitBiscuit and tea and latte Smile for u all xxxx
