March 2011 - rolling on into the second trimester

[Muser]

We filled the first thread, time for a new one. Anyone and everyone due in March 2011 are welcome.

Yey, wonderful news purple

spiltthetea my date is definitely a week out as well. I mentioned it to the obstetrician and he made a big point that sperm could hang about for a while until I pointed out that they could only do that if you'd actually had sex by that date! He went a bit quiet and changed the subject . My mw says that although the dating scans are supplosed to be accurate within 5 days she hears from loads of women who are certain that their dates are out, but there's no way of convincing the doctors otherwise!

Have a good day all

Hi All
16 weeks and suddenly seem to have got some energy back! Hurray! also haven't puked for 2 days. Predictably am now running round like headless chicken trying to do everything and then collapsing in a low bp and low sugar heap. You would think this being my thrid pregnancy I would know better!
Have noticed that my previous tv addiction to all things CSI has dissapeared as all seems a bit too violent and when it gets even slightly tense palpitations start up!DH is pleased to have more room on the sky plus box.
Looking forward to seeing the MW next week I don't have a doppler because I know it would make me neurotic, so really hoping I get to hear the heartbeat.
Keep well and don't overheat this weekend!

Spilt, Strangeways, Evian and Gem, how did your appointments go today? Feel like nothing is happening here (16+6) and need to hear of progress being made!

Speaking of which, great to hear your news Purple

Yeah Purple!!!

Had 16 week appt today (officially 16+3, but I think 17 weeks today - annoying as I'm sure later on they will say measuring large for dates). Heard the heartbeat which was soooo lovely (136BPM - girl or boy??), clear wee and low BP which is good for me.

For those wanting the New Look Coat they have code for 20% off online orders (have just ordered the black corsage one!)

Code for checkout is: AFFMST20 - Happy Shopping!

Skin - mine is awful as well - worse than when i was a teenager - that and my hormonal 'witch' tendancies make me wonder if it is a girl - not like pregnancy with DS.

Must go as oodles of work to do.

Jupiter great news that all is going well for you. Strangeways I hope you got good news today.

Well it turns out my dating questions were all a bit academic. We went to the scan and found that the baby had no heartbeat and looks to have stopped growing 2-3 weeks ago.

I've been given a pill to "ripen" the cervix and have to go back in on Friday afternoon/Saturday morning to be induced and deliver.

To be honest I'm completely shocked and struggling to react. Very scared as well about what the weekend will hold.

Please keep me in your thoughts/prayers.

Love and luck to all and I hope I'm the last one of us to be bringing bad news xxxx

Thanks for that code Jupiter - those coats seem to be running out fast. I wanted grey, but too late - got boring classic black instead. Glad your appt went well

Sorry about your meltdown Catherine Not bought any baby stuff yet, but getting very tempting.

Catherine the day of my 12 week scan I got a cute album and stood in boots cutting the scan pictures up and put them in the album!!!! So no it's not too early.

Had my 18 week MW appointment today. They checked my blood pressure and then o heard the heartbeat. Huge sigh of relief, the little one was being shy and took a while to hear!!!! Bit nerve racking but now I haven't 20 week scan to look forward to xx

So so sorry to hear your news Spilt

Oh spilttheteaagain I've just read ur post. I'm so sorry and my prayers ate with u and your family. So scary this time in our lives . Really feel for you xx

Spilt my heart and thoughts and prayers are going out to you right now.

So, so sorry spilt. Don't know what to say

Hi Just wanted to add my self into the mix i am due 23/3/2010 with my second child. I have spent the last hour reading all the posts which have helped put my mind at rest with some of my worries. Can someone please add me to the list i can't work out how to do it.

So sorry to hear your news spilt xx

Oh spilt I am so very sorry. I was thinking of you today. Haveing a scan is such a worry and while I was lieing there today I kept thinking how would I react if something was wrong, and how you just can;t assume everything is okay. It seemed an age before she turned the screen round to show me that everything is okay. I really don't know what to say to you. It is so so tough, life can be so very cruel. I hope you have lots of support in RL. Be kind to yourself and give yourself time to grieve and listen to yourself what you need. I can't believe I am typing this I so wanted to be able to share good news today. Please take care, in time you will be able to come to terms with this and you will have good news. A huge virtual hug, I just wish there was more I could do xxxxxxxx

Spilt how awful - thoughts very much with you and hope you have lots of RL support. Lots of virtual hugs xx

Spilt I don't know what to say... It is such a shock to be given bad news.....
My thoughts are with you and your family. I hope you have lots of RL support. Take care of yourself. xx

Spilt I am so sorry.

Split that's terrible news. I hope you have your family or friends with you. You must be devastated. My thoughts are with you. xx

spilt so very, very sorry to read your news tonight. Hope that you are surrounded by those who love you at the moment and that you are finding the strength to get through this. All thoughts are with you over the next days and weeks.
Wish there was something I could do or say, but I know there is not. Stay strong, be brave, you will get through this. xx

spilt thinking about you am sorry to read ure news my thoughs are with u and ure family stay strong hun xx

split I'm so so sorry to hear your news. I can't think of anything helpful to say, I hope you have lots of support. Sending you lots of love, I will be thinking about you this weekend. Take care xxx

spilt how awful. Thinking of you.

split i am so sorry to hear your devastating news hunni, i can understand how you are feeling and my thoughts are with you, i have suffered a late m/c a few years ago different circumstances but devastating nonetheless. Perhaps our angels can be friends! xxx

spilt I am so sorry to hear youf news how awful please take care of yourself I hope you have people around to support you.

Thank you everyone for all your kind words, I know many of you have lost babies as well and gone through the shock and bewilderment.

It probably sounds naive, but this just isn't something I ever thought would happen to me. To MC in the 2nd trimester feels like one of those awful things that happen to other people and is terrible to hear about, but you never expect to go through.

I think it's starting to sink in now and I've started to cry.

Trying to think practically about what to pack for hospital, food to take etc. And also we have to read the leaflets and decide about things like postmortems, cremation etc. I feel completely daunted and unprepared.

It's like a very weird limbo and I feel a bit detatched from reality.

Thank you again for all being so lovely. I'll let you know how it goes xxx

Oh split, I don't know what to say. How awful. You poor thing, and your partner. It's just so unexpected at this stage. I hope you have people to look after you and wish you all the best. Please look after yourself.
