Feel I should warn you all - behold a full curly style mother of all posts ...
First big congrats to buddha and annie. I have been smiling solidly for the last few days thinking about our new graduates. Hope the spd has cleared up buddha. I've just been catching up on about three weeks of posts and smiled at you talking about having to wait three more weeks - I'm glad that you get a couple of extra weeks with your little one instead
mermaid your post a couple of weeks ago about giving away the cotbed made me so sad for you but I also had the same sneaky thought that it might result in a bfp I love your posts, you are always so wonderful and brave and thinking about everyone else. You do make me want my own greenhouse too
hey lovely moon how are you doing hon? What an awful month for you. How could you not have hope with a cycle that long. Are u using opks to track ovulation? It might be a good plan with your cycles being unpredictable. Or sex every two days not that we ever managed that once we started properly trying for a baby . TTC is such a passion killer . I'm so glad you and your sister had such a good heart to heart. I just so hope people are supporting you enough in RL. Big hugs to you xxx
jools I hope you realise how lovely you are A friend of mine suffered depression recently and she is coming out the other end now. She says the worst thing was being so down on herself and assuming her friends felt the same way I'm glad you are getting support honey. I know it is hard to talk sometimes and I reckon this thread must be unbearable to even lurk on sometimes. I have this really hopeful feeling for you though and that you have turned a corner to happier times ahead. Here's a massive hug from me. Glad DP is feeling better after last week xxxx
MLS The bleeding sounds worrying but hopefully it is just your body getting back to normal. What date is your appointment with the consultant? Hope you get some answers xxx
Really wanted to say to all three of you moon jools and mls and all the small and nopanters that I'm so sorry that you are still going through this hell and I hope that 2010 is the best year for all of you. Please tell us when you are feeling shit, even if it is every day. I know we get caught up in pregnancy and baby news, but really this thread was set up to get us all through this journey and we should be focussing more on you lovelies. And what moon says is so true, People in RL don't realise the impact of MC. But we all do on here, and will be around as long as you need a friend xxx
baking Angry at your fertility consultant for being so tactless and stupid but at least now you have a plan. Does this mean no clomid till new year, or no TTC? Hope the holiday was lovely and you got a decent break? Where did you go?
iggy such wonderful news I'm so happy for you and promise I will be better at being around for handholding over the next few critical weeks!! We reckon we conceived around our EDD and it means a lot. Like we have one of our angels looking after our little baby this time. I think you are right giving up strenuous exercise for the moment - trust your instincts. I'm keeping everything tightly crossed till Monday week for your scan
blue I didn't realise there was a baby's name section on MN We have pretty much decided on a name which I will keep to myself for the moment but it will mean a lot to everyone on here I think Ooh get me being all mysterious Hope the SPD, heartburn and piles aren't too bad. Have you got anything from the docs for the heartburn. I was finally put on ranitidin which they give to premmies so is fine for pregnant ladies and it does make a big difference Good news too that you are off red alert, it must have been so stressful.
neeko you domestic goddess. You will cope fine with xmas dinner And just over 11 weeks to go before your mat leave. I've got about 6.5 to go now and I can't wait to finish. Sorry to hear about DH's grandpa I think it is so sweet that you write in the shower steam every morning. I've become so superstitious too
lbm is your head out of the sand now? How are you doing?
sabs I loved hearing about the Indian traditions. I can't believe you are a mum now, it doesn't seem like that long since we were both trying to cope with the awfulness of last year. Saara is beautiful Hope you had a good Eid
cupcake I cried buckets over your article on MN. Really beautiful and I think I will pass it on to a friend who has just had a MC. Hope the heartburn is better. Love the name johnny btw What course are you doing?
4ever your nuchal scan results are fantastic, I'm so glad for you and lovely dh especially after your previous experience. 14 weeks next friday (don't worry am touching wood as I write those words ) Take it easy lovely lady, good luck tomorrow and try not to worry about measurements. Mine were very similar at 12 weeks. Keep that bean nice and warm and tucked in. Hope the back is continuing to improve xxx
MM thanks your words mean a lot. It does get a bit too much sometimes but will be so worth it I can't believe you are nearly 35 weeks. We'll be hearing your good news soon. So exciting that you have CS booked and that your lo will be here before new year
barbie loved the 3d scans. What a cute baby. I reckon its a boy Do you have a preference at all?
mrskate wonderful news that you are having a boy. I know some people like a surprise but I find it much easier to bond when you know the sex... and you don't have to refer to him as it all the time Hope you are feeling better and the heartrate has calmed down. Take it easy girl. How is gracie doing these days btw?
VJ hope you got to catch up on more sleep this weekend and that you and AJ are fully better. How is your other lovely DS doing? How does he feel about having a little brother?
lion lovely to get your update on Arlo. He sounds wonderful. Are you getting any sleep during the day?
Big waves also to ginger and scorpio where have you got to?
Not much news from me, puking and spd still a big part of my day but I'm loving feeling this little one kick and remind me what it's all about .
I got the swine flu jab last week and felt awful afterwards, both physically which I didn't mind so much (slept all day instead of going to work!) and emotionally because it really worried me. I did lots of research and listened to a lot of advice from doctors I know and in the end decided that it was the best thing as at least the baby would get some protection when she's newborn and vulnerable. Still not sure I did the right thing though Haven't even had the baby yet and feeling the pressure of a hundred thousand decisions ahead to worry about.
Anyone around tonight. Tis very quiet. Hope the post hasn't scared everyone to a new thread
Big hugs to all of you lovely ladies. I have so missed talking to you but I always lurk to see how your doing
