edie123 · 21/11/2006 18:13

lynneclynne · 21/11/2006 18:26

Yeh, peeing loads, feeling sick after i eat anything or see a dirty plate.

Its just so weird, im scared to get too excited.

I hope you are feeling better soon edie! xxx

edie123 · 21/11/2006 20:06

Wow then I wouldn't test anymore.

Yes you are bound to feel anxious, but you have us!!

lynneclynne · 21/11/2006 20:13

lynneclynne · 21/11/2006 20:17

edie123 · 21/11/2006 20:18

lynneclynne · 21/11/2006 20:24

July is when ds was born too! I did enjoy being pg through those hot summer days, just lazing about in the garden, so hopefully this one will be the same!

lynneclynne · 22/11/2006 15:15

Aw Edie, sorry to hear your still not any better, remember dont be rushing back to work if your not feeling 100%!!
Im well as usual thanx, just trying to get the house organised, the plasterers finished today, so what a mess i have to clean!!!
Jossie, hope you are well!
I'll catch up later with you both, once i've finished cleaning downstairs.

edie123 · 22/11/2006 20:02

Thanks Lynne.

I am going to go back to work tomorrow as staying here is just so boring. If its horrible I will come home but think ill be ok. Will be back home by 3

Are you feeling ok? Hope so. Have you been to see doc yet? Been on chat thread and everybody is fighting!!

What are you doing at the weekend?

lynneclynne · 22/11/2006 22:49

I hope your day goes ok for you then and that you feel better!

What are they all fighting about?? I'll need to have a look.

I dont have alot planned for weekend as dh is working, its my birthday on monday so we're going out for a meal then.

What about yourself, do have anything planned?

I've been feeling ok, i dont really want to get too into this pg thing (know that sounds stupid) but im still scared so, feeling a bit weird really about the pg, dont want to tell anyone, dont want to celebrate and dont want to be thinking about baby things just incase!! Feel so scared whenever i go to the loo (just incase)
Ive got the doc on mon and im dredding going for the first scan(just want to cry thinking about it)
but hopefully things get better as time goes by, ive been chatting with another girl who's edd is also 30 July, so thats quite good.
Its weird, as i just keep thinking i dont feel pg today am i still??? Its quite horrible actually, all these thoughts and feelings that you cant get out your head.
Right, all stop all this LOL i am ok, honest!!
Hope tomorrow goes well! x

Jossie, i hope you are well too! x

Jossie · 22/11/2006 22:50

Hiya-just passing through as have actually been out with DH tonight!! a rare occurrence. Only to bowling with his work mates, but even so going out!!!
Didn't want to go to bed without saying hello. Hope you are feeling better Edie.
Lynne hope everything is going well-so happy for you.
Have you cleared up the plaster yet?
Edie how did the fight go?
Bye for now

He lost the fight however he is not too disappointed and is taking me out for dinner tonight. Bless him he is lovely

Oh Lynne, I really feel for you, I know that I will be feeling the same when/if I get pg. It's horrible and there is nothing I can say to reassure you apart from the fact that you are not anymore likely to mcarry this time because of past mc but I know you know that and it won't stop you worrying. I guess you have to kind of accept the worrying and try to embrace it, I know that sounds daft but you can learn to channel it into positive things like eating healthily and doing good things for yourself like laughing/having fun and pampering yourself.

One of my books said that a really positive thing to do each day is find a relaxing sopt and shut your eyes and slowly try to imangine a little baby inside you with its heart beating. It's like meditation I guess but works well apparently.

Also-people underestimate how good it is to smile. Even if you have nothing to make you smile, just doing it automatically releases endorphines which are very very good for you and baby.

Take some time out each day to do something you enjoy. Don't let work stress you out (easier said than done sometimes.)

And remember, even though me and Josie are not here face to face, we will be here if you need to let off steam etc.

lynneclynne · 24/11/2006 19:41

Hi girls!
How are you both?
Hope you are both well.
Edie thats a shame poor dp lost his fight
Thanks for the support, dont know what id do without you both!
Had the gp today, she was v nice asked how i felt, told her i was petrified and trying to block being pg out of my head altogether for now incase i have bad news later on, so she has emailed the hospital and asked that i get an urgent appointment to put my mind at ease (personally i dont think it will be at ease until ive given birth)
Its just so weird, what should be an exciting time for me is more a worry day in day out, dread going to the loo incase there's a show.
Jossie, i know you have been through the same experience, how did you cope?? I've noticed its the same with dh, he too is blocking it out, dont want to build our hopes up again.
Oh, still havent cleaned up the plaster!! It is such a mess!!! Our floor and skirting is just a mess!!Will try again tomorrow
Hope you are both well. xxx

Jossie · 24/11/2006 20:20

Hiya Lynne-I was lucky that I had a really nice set of GPs, the first one sent me off for blood tests to check that my hcg level was doubling each day, he then referred me for a private early scan as my local hospital wouldn't do an nhs one. I wish I could put good news at the end, but you know the outcome... I guess I was one of the unlucky ones as there is a 95% chance of survival if you see a heartbeat at 8 weeks. I did feel that things were going better the second time, but can also pinpoint exactly the day that things went wrong as I remarked to DH that my chest had got smaller, I could lay comfortably on my tummy in bed and that my hair had started to fall out a lot.
The main thing to think is that the likelihood was that your m/c was "just one of those things"-the phrase we all hate to hear-I talked to my second one both in my mind and out loud, willing everything to go ok. The odds are in your favour it will be ok I'm sure.

Edie- how are you feeling now? Did you go out for a meal last night? Are you likely to find out soon if you are pg, I've lost track of time!
Have a good weekend

Hey girls

Josie I am due on in a week but really don't think I am pg. No symptoms and to be honest we didn't try very hard this month!! Maybe next time round will be better.

Still feel pretty crap and my temp keeps going up. Sure it has spread to my chest but still determined to go to work tomorrow, I went Thurs (day off today) and felt better for being out of the house even though I felt shit and was coughing my guts up!!!

We had a take away in the end last night as neither of us could be bothered to go out. It was lovely though and DP paid bless him.

XXXXXX

Jossie · 24/11/2006 22:39

Oh Edie, sorry you're not feeling better. You never know about TTC it need only take once!!
If not then I'm due on in two weeks and we've decided to TTC next month, so we could be trying at similar times . I've told DH he'll have a very busy Christmas -sorry TMI i know
Lynne could be our lucky mascot (you don't mind do you Lynne?) as she has her BFP already and we want to join her club!!! (or if you are already then I want to join both of your club!!)
