Big deep breaths. Guaranteed the next 35 weeks will be looong! Stay calm and I know it's impossible hard but try to enjoy your pregnancy.

ScorpiowithabigS · 22/04/2009 13:05

Neeko - i have to keep reminding myself its a symptom! i have soreish breasts today and hot flushes so doing well. 5+1 today. I, ahem, seem to have extra discharge (common for me in pg) and i keep getting scared. trying to relax.

Neeko · 22/04/2009 13:03

Scorpio Tiredness is good when your pg as it's a big fat symptom!
Jools Just checking in on you to give your hand an extra squeeze. Get insistant on an early scan.
Big sneaky work waves to everyone else!

ScorpiowithabigS · 22/04/2009 13:00

Jools - thinking of you

4ever - my god i hate stuff like that. My friend has quite bad PCOS & is now pregnant after a very long time; still smokes though . I used to smoke, before the boys each time but always gave up when pregnant, instantly. I last smoked in Feb 07 when ttc Millie. I don't drink when pg either, just can't stand the thought of it in my baby.

I am very tired today.

4everhopeful · 22/04/2009 12:51

Silly (!)

Also as randomness goes just heard our co CEO awarded himself a 50% pay increase, all employees are on a pay freeze with no rise this year (under review ) but our CEO is now on £496,024k a year Credit crunch my a**e! Bloody fat cats! Not really shocked tho!

Also for more randomness, I been doing ok with my 3 PG colleagues (1 sit next to me is now 7 months!) but.... I am that one of them about 6months goes out for a fag several times a day - its disgusting, everyone shakes their head at her, and wheras Ive had to learn to be cool (and not ) about the other 2 I cant even acknowledge this girl cos of what she's doing... Tut Tut Tut 4ever shakes head disgustedly.. She's a right old chav...! (Miaow )

OK - what am i doing ramblin away here? Must work..... or not? half day??! If I had a laptop Id be off & MNing in my garden with a wine! xxxxxxxxx

4everhopeful · 22/04/2009 12:37

Just a quickie as was lurking...

Wanted to say I also pmsl at MLS peas & monkey torch saga with dd!

Hope your neighbours ok Vjay?!

Mermaid at your parsnips! At least they have a use! Keep us updated with how your acupuncture goes this afternoon.. Also, please do check the LIT for yourself, thought of you lots & also monkey as we are the recurring ones, see what your specialist says re test results & check you've had everything that can be done on NHS first but if still a blank then see? I really do feel like me again, I know its no guarantee but its hope..

Barbie are you tipsy yet? at you by a nice pool supping 2 cocktails at a time - one for me, one for you!

Sending super icky shticky thoughts to Jools and also Blue and Annie.. Hope your mission for early scans works out ok... Im sure your frantic enough without this stress too

Kate not looked at your cottage yet but sure it will be lovely, its your honeymoon so hopefully you wont see much more than the bedroom anyway!

Sill gardening man re-arranged for tomorrow now debating whether to still do half day or not it is sooooooooooo lovely looking out there!

MummyLovesSadie · 22/04/2009 12:25

Jools thinking of you, wish I could say something to make you feel better but I can't. Agree with the others & think you should try & get a scan to set your mind at rest. I had a scan at both 5 & 6 weeks, at 5 weeks they could see the sac & at 6 weeks they could see the heartbeat.

kate030284 · 22/04/2009 11:17

ahh jools big hugs thinking of you and your sticky bean

vjay we were going to sctland but im the driver so i didnt fancy drivng all that way lol

mermaidspurse · 22/04/2009 10:28

vjay have you got public liability! hope she is ok.

mermaidspurse · 22/04/2009 10:26

blue morning hope you are ok today honey.

I am off to do my impression of white van woman - good fun when you have pmt so jools love you lots and ha ha take it calmly this morning and annie hope you are4 ok to today too.xx

VJaybigpants · 22/04/2009 10:26

jools ring your GP and see what they suggest, you may get a scan or it may be too early, not sure, but don't do any gym classes for now, when I had my spotting I was told to rest as much as poss. Holding your hand tight babes xx

mls I too loved the pea story witht he monkey torch, your dd is so funny

neeko I'm not on facebook either, but my great aunt is bless her!!!!!

kate we did a hoeseasons honeymoon too up in Scotland, it was lovely and relaxing, plus one of the reason we live up here now

barbie I'm so sorry for your friend, I really hope she has a lovely holiday with you.

I started this post half an hour ago, but my neighbour popped round then went and fell off my front door step and I've just had to ring an ambulance for her , she's on her way to A&E now they think she's broken her ankle, poor chick

barbie1 · 22/04/2009 10:21

at blue swearing! i have never seen you swear! i bloody love it!

bluesatinsash · 22/04/2009 10:19

Jools - I had scan with DS when I was 5+3 due to bright red bleeding and saw a teeny tiny heartbeat (like a light flickering). It may just be cervial erosion. Will be thinking about you and praying, its just so fucking hard.

barbie1 · 22/04/2009 10:18

jools i aim to please

OP posts:
Joolsiam · 22/04/2009 10:11

Thanks for the laugh Barbie

Interesting what you say about seeing something before 6 weeks. I can't self-refer to EPU so will phone GP if bleeding continues

mermaidspurse · 22/04/2009 10:10

jools lovely, lovely lady - I am thinking so much of you and sending very sticky and positive thoughts your way. I have had internals at 6 weeks, you are not so far off it may be worth a try? I hope you are working from home today?

4ever bluebells are better than parsnips which is what we had coming through our topsoil -but they were tasty!
I am going to look at what you have to do with your LIT later. You have sounded so much happier in the last few weeks and things are going to get better and better

accupuncture this afternoon

barbie sending you a hug cos you are such a sweetie.x
love to everyone.x
oh forgot pmsl at mls peas! classic

SabsBigPants · 22/04/2009 10:02

jools also adding that im here holding your hand...we're here for you....also sending lots of positive thoughts and sticky bean thoughts...

barbie1 · 22/04/2009 09:58

loving the hug!!! thanks...i so wish i would win the lotto cos the first thing id do is to fly you all over and have one big emmsys reunion!! i would so love us all to get together!!! 4ever back to work, ill have a drink for you by the pool
xx

4everhopeful · 22/04/2009 09:57

Last post for a few hours! 4ever slaps own wrist..
Jools get down EPU, Iv had scans at 6w and saw hb, 5w bit early but you will see if all is as it should be, so at least you'll be reassured hopefully hon xxxxxxxxx

4everhopeful · 22/04/2009 09:53

Ooooh am being so naughty but had to come back & give barbie a big HUG!!!! Wish I was out in sunny Dubai with you today to stop you being bored! We could go to the pool and have a few cocktails & a good girly gossip! I agree with you sweetie, I can talk to you all more than I can alot of mates in RL now!!! xxxxxxx

barbie1 · 22/04/2009 09:53

jools i have internal scan at 5+4 and they saw the sac and foetal pole....dont you wish tom cruise was your hubby and he brought you a scanner thingy and a midwife?

4ever hope you dont get caught you naughty naughty girl you sound soooo much happier! when you get your injection think about what you are doing it for, the pain will be worth it, although im sure there wont be that much pain

OP posts:
Joolsiam · 22/04/2009 09:48

Too early for EPU unfortunately. I'm not sure even an internal scan would show anything at 5+3 If the bleeding continues, I shall phone the GP but I don't think there is anything I can do except wait and hope.

4everhopeful · 22/04/2009 09:47

Just checked to see where you live Annie - if you was anywhere near london I was gonna say my EPU has a walk in clinic from 7-11am mon-sat. Im sure a few near sunny Sunderland might have the same? Worth a google search perhaps? Might save money!

Morning to barbie and mermaid my lovelys! Well done on being in demand on the job front barbie! I agree you must take the job with most option of MNing! Very tragic to hear about your friend, my DH is my life it must be unbearable for her, im sure you will be a great comfort to her cos you are great with us lot! xx

Ahh hows the pmt mermaid*? Sure you're not PG & hormonal?!?! Whens the next acupuncture & when do you see your blummin specialist? He's not still playing golf surely?!?! xx

All well with me, am being naughty posting, systems were down at work for about 30mins so I did research into my LIT, side effects are blistering and bluish marks & itching for a couple weeks to months . Also 3 or 4 injections of DH white cells so am a bit shitting myself scared as really not good with needles or pain! Oh well all be worth it, stats are def coming up as 75% success rate I really do feel like a different person this last couple of weeks, dont think I realised how low I was cos was permanently fighting it & 'acting normal'... Its good to be back! xxxx

Big waves and love to all not mentioned! xxxx Better get off, am so paranoid of being caught! Half day to lounge in the lovely sun, and moan at garden co who laid turf but failed to remove bluebells which have noe sprung up all over the lawn been trying to get him round to do something about it since our hol! We have a few round edges which are just fine & pretty, but honestly there are about 50 and we cut them back so now looks patchy and crap. Its been our bugbear over recent weeks so will give him what for!! Mermaid come down to sunny london & take your PMT out on him! xxxxxxxxx

MUST GO! xxxxxxxxxx

barbie1 · 22/04/2009 09:47
