Hi all - we've very nearly exhausted the 1,000 post limit on our previous thread so here is the new one.

Looking forward to continuing to share the ups, downs, symptoms, queries, worries and joy (fingers tightly crossed!)

Oh I just dont know what to say [say]. Cuppa and Beesok, I am so terribly sorry to read this. Thank you for your lovely, sweet messages. This was just so unexpected for you both, my heart really, really goes out to you.

Supersunny - what a lovely, informative and reassuring post. I was hoping that someone in the know could come along and give Beesok some peace (as although I dont know anything about this condition, I was so sure it was unrelated to MC) and you did!.

Beesok, I would second what everyone has said - definately take some time off. I made the very silly mistake of taking just one day off after my MC (the day I was in hospital) and it really caught up with me in the weeks/ months after. I think I was just trying to keep myself busy and occupied so I wouldnt think about it - its a bad idea. Without going in to too much detail for the sake of others here, my MC carried on for over 6 weeks and I think its because I didnt rest up.

I like you kept looking for a reason why it had happened. To make things worse I had slipped and fell down the stairs a few days beforehand Sad and blamed myself for a long, long time that I had caused it. After so much medical advice, reading etc I now realise that usually, as others have said, its just not the right mix for the baby and even a bomb couldnt shift a viable pregnancy. I can guarantee it was nothing that you did.

Janice, you must be in shock. Im so, so sad about this - I think its because you were the 3rd poster to join on the first thread and I "know" you for a while now. I dont know what to say. Please be kind to yourself.

Like others have said, and Im sorry if its something you dont want to think about right now, but if it is at all reassuring, I had miscarraige on Valentines weekend and was pregnant with my now perfectly healthy ds mid April.

Will be thinking of you both xxx

mouffloncake · 02/11/2010 10:08

I tend to lurk on here, silently here, taking it all in.
What an amazing bubble of support we have formed. It's very reassuring to be a part if this lovely group.

I'm so sorry to learn of the sad news - I do hope you all manage to heal soon. Lots of love to you.

Mummynumber2 · 02/11/2010 10:10

It was so nice of you both to check back in besok and cuppa. I suppose it's just like any other kind of berevement, you just have to take each day as it comes and go with your feelings.

I'm thinking of you cep, supersunnyday and goodvibration Hope your scans go well. Are they all today?

I had my own drama at the weekend, it just didn't seem right to talk about it yesterday with all the bad news. On saturday evening I had a really big bleed, lots of bright red blood and clots. It was terrifying as was exactly the same as when I lost the first twin a few weeks ago. Had a scan yesterday and everything is fine with the baby! It just goes to show that bleeding doesn't have to be bad news!

I'm 9 weeks today and my sickness has actually got a bit better. Don't get me wrong, I'm still throwing up twice a day but I am managing to keep some food down now. I'm not concering myself at all with healthy eating as the list of things that don't make me throw up at the though of is so limited!

BarbieLovesKen · 02/11/2010 10:22

I popped back on as I had realised I hadnt wished cep, sunnyday and Goodvibration all the best with their scans!!. Thinking of you all today. Am sure all will be well and am looking forward to your posts.

Mummynumber2 you poor thing!!! how awful to experience that - God knows you've had enough in this pregnancy already. Am so delighted all is well though and your right, it does show that bleeding isnt all bad. Happy to hear your feeling that bit better too.

mouffloncake we really do have a lovely group, dont we?

So, went to the Docs yesterday and I've officially been diagnosed with hyperemisis Sad strange though, its a relief that I know whats wrong with me but am just hoping that this doesnt last for the entire pregnancy.

Thank you so much to those who posted info on stats re heartbeat after 9 weeks - I really found it reassuring and really appreciate it - meant to reply individually. Was supposed to return to work yesterday (after maternity) but Doctor has signed me off, usually I would be horrified/ sick with worry about this but as said before am having a terrible time in work with a particular bully who is very committed to making my life miserable. Met with upper management yesterday after docs and have no choice but to go down official complaint road, which Im really scared to do as this lady is vicious - no telling what she'll do and I dont think I can go up against her. Oh well. Sad

On a big positive note though, I actually got my assignment finished on time and submitted it yesterday, despite vomiting through most of it Smile still gaining massive amount of weight, oddly enough. Must be the complete rubbish Im eating thats staying down.

10+3 today.

CONGRATULATIONS SUPERSUNNYDAY!!!!!!! I am so so so so pleased for you Grin I can't imagine how exciting it was to see your baby and hear it's heartbeat!

Barbie your work situation sounds horribly stressful and upsetting. Have you got the support of HR/a colleague/a manager? At least you've got some time off.

Yellowtomato it's not me having my scan today - I wish!

BarbieLovesKen · 02/11/2010 10:47

Supersunny I am genuinely so delighted to hear your news!!! huge congratulations.

Nursesunshine it is horrible and yes, management (although shes one of them) know exactly what shes like - over the years 3 women have left the job (crying) because of her and her reputation proceeds her. Im sick with worry but as you said, at least I have some extra time off and am not in on the firing line!!.

Hope everyones having a great day.

8rubberduckies · 02/11/2010 11:11

Brilliant news Supersunnyday!!!! Grin Grin Grin, may we have much more like it as the day progresses!!

Barbie work sounds horrible, hope that you get things sorted, we've all got enough on our plates at the moment without work worries too!

I was feeling very negative yesterday and had a massive moan at my Mum on the phone last night; she could not really get her head around why I'm so certain I'm going to have a mc, but made me feel a bit better with soem kind words of encouragement, and offering to have us all over for Christmas so I don't have to cook and be on my feet all day! I also woke up this morning feeling sick for the first time in a few days, and my sense of smell has gone through the roof, so feeling pg again Smile.

Hope everyone else is well Smile

knackered76 · 02/11/2010 11:15

Supersunny - fab news on the heartbeat, what a reassurance for you :)

Good luck to cep and goodvibrations - I have a scan today at 1.30pm so keeping myself amused until then. Am bricking it slightly but telling myself there is nothing I can do and what will be will be!

Mummynumber2 · 02/11/2010 11:17

Thanks barbielovesken yes, that's quite enough drama for me in one pregnancy I think! I'm really feeling for you, I had a small taster of what hyperemisis could be like and it's horrible. Did your dr give you anti emetics? (sp?) Really hope they begin to kick in soon.

Congratulations supersunnyday that's fab news!

Mummynumber2 · 02/11/2010 11:19

Sorry, crossed posts knackered. Good luck this afternoon!

cep · 02/11/2010 11:25

yippee there was a heartbeat, a little 1cm babby (even dh got tears in his eyes) everything looks fine, couldn't see any reason for the bleed, heartbeat was fine. I'm 6 weeks and 6 days, which puts conception on holiday in greece (and the 1 time husband wanted to do it and not me saying i need to.

They gave me a picture so i have my first scan piccie. As far as i know i don't need to go back until the 12 week scan (still no date) at least they didn't say otherwise.

They tried looking with normal scan first - bloody hell it hurt she pushed so hard - could see the baby but couldn't see a heart beat so on went the condom and there it was.

supersunny - so pleased for you that's such good news.

Thanks again everyone for your help, advice and support.

NurseSunshine · 02/11/2010 11:27

Good luck this afternoon Knackered.

8rubberduckies sorry you're feeling so down, hopefully going to your mum's for xmas is good news and you will actually get to rest! Congratulations (I guess) on ms today!!

BarbieLovesKen · 02/11/2010 11:30

Ooh knackered very best of luck!!!

mummynumber2 no! hes really against anti emetics so he wont prescribe anything. Am just going to have to put up and shut up!!. At the minute, I just keep telling myself Im so lucky to be pregnant - particulary after the last few days on here. Puts things in perspective and stops me feeling quite so sorry for myself!.

Cep am so so delighted - particulary after the bleed - you really needed that reassurance.

good luck knackered hope it goes well.

8rubberduckies i'm sorry you're feeling low, you've done so well with quitting smoking and everything you should be very proud of yourself.

Barbie i hope you start feeling better soon.

NurseSunshine · 02/11/2010 11:44

Sorry Cep crossed posts. I'm SO pleased for you! Imagine that 1cm is going to grow into a lifesized baby in a few months!! So amazing.

neenewps · 02/11/2010 12:04

Big hello to everyone :o boy is it windy up here and I mean outside not me Shock

Ahhhh I'm so pleased for all of you that have had scans and have seen their little bubbas :) it is such wonderful news and makes me feel rather tearful.

I have now invested in a rather unattractive soft cup bra as my old ones were really getting way too small and I had double boob!! Have to say it is much more comfortable but I did feel sad at not being able to wear my pretty bras anymore!

Am feeling sick again today. Yesterday was a good day with no feeling ill whatsoever.. of course then I started to panic a little Hmm

Was watching This Morning yesterday when Holly announced her pregnancy and she is due in May so will look forward to watching her body change and think that all of ours will be following suit fairly soon after! Yiiiikes!!!

NurseSunshine · 02/11/2010 12:08

Hmmm hopefully my body will closely resemble Holly's neenwps, though I doubt it somehow Grin

neenewps · 02/11/2010 12:11

:)@ nursesunshine

Although she did look huuuge when she had her first??!! I'm only 5ft 4 and I'm hoping I get a tidy bump :)

Is anyone putting bio oil on their tummy's and breasts yet??

NurseSunshine · 02/11/2010 12:13

Woohoooo FINALLY got my booking in appointment! It's next tuesday, the MW is coming to my house though, is that normal?! I'll be stressing about the state of my teeny tiny flat. Off to view another house today, if I was moving tomorrow it wouldn't be fast enough!

neenewps · 02/11/2010 12:15

Ahhh great news nursesunshine

Mine is 23rd November... seems aaaaages away!! I'm getting impatient!!

I know I shouldn't moan about this but I am also really bored as I am off work! I need something to occupy me so if anyone has any suggestions.. there is only so much housework I can do!!

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 02/11/2010 12:21

Why does this happen everytime I am pg? I get upduffed and suddenly there is a whole host of celebrities upduffed and due about a month before me, so I have to spend my whole pregnancy seeing the 'celebrities' splashed all over the place, going on about how wonderful they are and how much money they're spending wasting on crap baby gear and baby showers. A little bitEnvy yes, a lot I don't care now go away and leave me alone!

Ohh didn't expect that BlushGrin still I'd much rather hear about normal mortals and their babies Grin

Really pleased to see there has been some good news today, though am truely devestated for those of you who had bad news this week.

My good news is that DH has taken DS to Glasgow on the train for a few hours, so I've absconded to bed with the laptop and a ham sandwich (3!!) that I managed to make myself with a minimum of retching. Bliss Grin

Actually I'm quite sick of stuffing my face with food all the time, but as I start to feel really really ill if my stomach gets the tinest bit empty, it's worth it!

Anyone else's body's struggling with the whole clock change thing? I've been awake at 5.30 the last 2 days because my brain still thinks that's 6.30 so an okay time to wake up.

mouffloncake · 02/11/2010 12:22

Hey ladies, can I pick your brains please?

I'm 9+1 today & have just got myself a nice bout of thrush.

Sorry if tmi (not sure theres such a thing on here!), noticed thick lumpy creamy discharge & itching :(

Am I ok to use over the counter stuff or do I need to visit my gp? Can't believe I wad only there yesterday :/

Any suggestions welcome.
