Emmsy's onwards and upwards! xxx

jools huge wave honey, you so do belong,I was lurking on the grapefruit thread the other day and I really should have crashed in and given you a hug, so here is a belated one now. I wish our men had their own mn but I expect half of them would sit there in manly silence. It is so good to think about getting healthy its a good channel for all our emotions. I have found the gym with no mascara,mirrors or men,it only takes half an hour so its doable and I absolutely love it. Might be worth a thought, its really helped with muscle tone and core strength and above all its helped my poor head. Opps gone a bit evangelical about excercise sorry
barbie oh poor sick you, the worst kind of yukky. But I have to say horray for your af -she must have been scared by the drs appt. Rest lots and try some boiled water.x
mm nice to think of you and blue in the sunshine.
I feel a bit more ok today, its just a bother papering over all the cracks again. Hope everyone has a sunny afternoon.

Hello ladies,

First of all I want to thank blue for a wonderful afternoon and yes the sun really did come out in Glasgow.............in March!!!! Your DS is absolutely adorable and is so well behaved, he did have fun chasing the pigeons in George Square. I've now met both blue and barbie and I have to say it is even better when you meet in RL, can't wait till we all meet up some day.

barbie oh you poor soul, sending you some TLC your way, hope it doesn't last long hun. Glad you got your appointment sorted out for Sat, let us know how you get on.

sabs wonderful news on your scan, oh to see your lo waving and moving around, it's a day you will never forget.

lion all the good news on here is contagious and it will be very catching for you also, I know the nerves will kick in but soon we can read about your lo waving too.

jools don't feel a fraud for not ttc, we are still not ttc yet due to work issues so you are not the only one, hopefully we will both be back ttc soon when we sort everything out. And give yourself a pat on the back for the weight you've lost, good for you girl!!!

mermaid sorry about your results, they would have hit hard. No need to make any decisions right now as regards IVF, take time out and do what feels right for you and your family. Keep giving DS hugs, they make everything better.

mollie hope you are feeling ok, been thinking about you this week xxx.

vjay 17 weeks wow, it really does go fast...............well it does once you get that 12 week scan out the way. I can imagine your bump is growing nicely, how exciting.

Big waves to everyone, I'm going to enjoy the sunshine while it lasts, take care xxx.

Oh poor you barbie I hope you feel better soon, but good news about af, how long is it between this af and your last af/spotting?

Hi jools good to 'see' you, I do hope you work out your relationship issues and are back on here soon xxx

Oh lucky blue and mm I'm glad you had a lovely meet up, I'm just too far from any of you, but maybe not as far as barbie!

lion only 2 sleeps to go, AND YOU WILL BE FINE

A quickie from me aswell Huge congrats to Sabs and hello to everyone else. It is lovely to hear stories of success after MC.

Mermaid - thinking of you lots aswell. I hope you get some explanations and a PLAN together so you can move forward

Feel a bit of a fraud being here tbh - not TTC due to ongoing relationship issues. I think they are moving in the right direction, but it is taking time. Still working on losing weight, but the Cambridge Diet is not working its advertised magic, so I've only managed half a stone in 3 weeks (average initial losses are at least a stone in a month !)

I do drop in from time to time, but am trying hard not to sink into a babyless depression, so am keeping a healthy distance from Mumsnet for most of the week.

Hey girls, just a quick hello. Things are crazy in RL but I'm thinking about you all Fab news on your scan sabs, I am so happy for you honey. You have me crying too

Talk to you all soon xxx

What a busy day !

Fantastic news sabs sooo happy for you and your DH (and at Vjay refreshing her page for an hour...)

Not long 'til Friday lion

Mermaid - so sorry to hear you've been floored today. I have read a bit on trisomy's and just because this lo had it doesn't mean your previous ones did and remember you have DS and can do it!

barbie - delighted to hear you've got your Doc appointment, onwards and upwards!

Met the lovely MM today and yes barbie I almost snuck her home in my handbag . We had a lovely time and it was actually warm and sunny in Glasgow so we sat outside after lunch while DS chased the pigeons

Sabs - yippee!!!! Its great to hear good news around here from you and Vjay. Lion thinking of you for friday.

Big hug for Mermaid. Barbie i wasn't up early just working nights and hadn't gone to bed yet.

Sabs that's brilliant news and has cheered me up no end . Just hope I can graduate with you on Friday!

sabs well done all 3 of you.x

Oh sabs I am so happy for you, I have had sat here for the last hour refreshing the page waiting for you

Hello lovely ladies. just a quick sneaky post from work to say that all is well! She (i say she cos its better than "it"!) was all over the place, swimming around, waving, sucking her thumb etc...I couldnt help but cry! I never thought i would get to where we are now...going to stop before i cry some more!
Everyone knows now - told people at work. Cant concentrate cos im on cloud 9!

Will post again later on today

omg vjay 17 weeks that has surely gone so fast,for us that is - its easy for others to say enjoy it I guess and maybe we will never quiet stop panicing.
lionstar well done to you too and it is so lovely to see those big fat tummys here.

barbie it is speeding up now, in 3 weeks I'll be half way there!

It is hard lionstar I still feel doubts now, I just want to feel lo kicking, I think I've been feeling it but am not too sure. I had my 16 week check last week and as I left the doctor told me to 'enjoy the pregnancy'. Easier said than done, but it is getting easier, and I found that after the 12 weeks things do seem to be speeding up. I'm sure you'll be fine on friday, and I will be thinking of you.

Happy St Patricks days xxxxx

VJay glad to hear things are speeding up for you - the last 12 weeks has really felt like the longest of my life, it is CRAWLING! Which of course means the anticipation for Friday is just building and building. Even though I'm feeling much more pregnant this time (popping out of my jeans!) I still can't help feeling that it could all be a big trick and I'm just going to see an empty screen again - I don't think I'll be able to watch.

Hi lionstar wow 12 weeks, time does fly, maybe not for you at the moment, but it does for me now, I'm 17 weeks tomorrow

barbie so glad your bupa card has arrived, hopefully you can get some answers and move forward, keep positive

mermaid sorry to hear about your test results, was the trisomy 7 found on just the last lo or all of them? You have been very unlucky, but remember you have ds so you know you can do it, that thought kept me going.

sabs am thinking of you xxx

blue and mm hope you are having a fabulous meet up, I'm rather

Hi guys, have not been on MN much recently but just had to stop by and catch up.

Especially want to wish Sabs luck for today (right now!), I have my 12 week scan on Friday and I'm already sick with anticipation so I really know what you're going through.

mermaid, sorry to hear of your news, I don't know anything about that condition but really hope that maybe some of those clever docs can come up with some solutions for you.

blue fingers crossed for you that the fat lady doesn't sing this time - sticky thoughts

barbie you are doing sterling work keeping this thread together, and it's lovely getting updates from our foreign correspondent!

Hi to everyone else - epecially jools, how are you doing lovely you haven't posted for a while (though I'm hardly one to talk)

ah barbie thanks and I am so glad you have a drs appt at long last.
the trisomy chromosomes are things like trisomy 21 which is downs, Edwards is 18. I think 7 is pretty much a non go beyond the first trimester which is why I guess I keep losing little ones. I think thats why it has upset me so much, its probably not 'just one of those things' to have happened 4 times is a bit more than unlucky. IVF was mentioned to me but you know I am sooooooooo lucky to have my ds, and god yesterday we realised just how lucky we are that I cant justify ivf. dh keeps ringing to make sure I am ok and it feels like we have slipped back 2 months. My sticks and preseed arrived too and I just dont know what I am thinking from one minute to the next! ah you know how it is... still it is a beautiful spring day and going to do brunch with a friend.
