Jue in June part 3

[moomin156]

We have now reached 2000 posts so need to start another thread.

cep - I actually agree with you in that I didn't think the poster was trying to be nasty or unkind but was more talking from a place where she's not well informed. The whole post though generally sums up why I don't go on it that often as people can get really nasty and those who are being reasonable tend to get lost!

Mrs bw Hooray and how lovely to be further then you thought and hear the heartbeat, such a wonderful moment .

I know how people feel about being put back days. We spend what feels like forever clawing our way to 12 weeks and then someone comes over and makes you do a bit of the mountain again . . . .. so unfair!

Moomin so pleased you had a lovely day telling people and no horror stories came your way!

yellowtomato - you are definitely only 37 yrs young :) I hope tomorrow goes as well as it can. I don't know how much you've been told but it's probably a good idea to take something to read and some pads. I was in the women's bit (obviously) and they wouldn't let dh in until we could be hidden away somewhere in the corner behind curtains!

supersunny - pleased to have inspired you in a packet of crisps :) Mine were most tasty and helped greatly in my carb filled day. A single apple has helped me feel as though it hasn't been all bad today (although I know it has ) And we're scan buddies next tuesday. Mine is at 2.30pm!

Haven't been around much recently, but Yellowtomato I saw your post on the other thread and wanted to say how very sorry I am to hear your news.

Also supersunny I know exactly how you feel about the symptoms coming and going, I am either cursing the ms and wishing it would stop, or panicing like mad because it's not there or not as bad. It seems like there's no middle ground.

I'll try to go back and catch up with how everyone else is, and post again later.

yellowtomato, I am so sorry to hear your news. Take lots of care of yourself and I hope you're pg again soon.

yellowtomato thanks so much for your kind message to us, I have enjoyed your company on this thread and will miss you, big hugs...

I spotted some good news on another thread today; does anyone remember Brassicababe, who lost her baby about 3 weeks ago? Well, I like to keep an eye on the buses as I'm nosey interested to see how the regulars are getting on, and she is pg again! Fingers crossed for a July baby for Brassica!

Wonderful news MrsBigW, so happy for you

Posting this on a separate message as it didn't seem right to post on the same as one to yt. I had my scan tonight and everything was great. I measured exactly at my dates (7+4), the heart rate is good and strong. I saw and heard the heart beating! Amazing, as I never got to this stage with my last pg. Also, it was an external scan, which was nice! I'm a bit dazed as I was convinced that everything wouldn't be ok, especially as I have had virtually no ms.

cep, I would have been miserable to 'lose' days and have to count through them again, so I don't blame you!

Congrats MainlyMaynie!!!

yellowtomato thinking of you, don't think we really spoke but I hope thinks work out ok in their own way in the end, virtual hugs from my end.

8rd I haven't got a scan date yet and being 10+5 it's annoying the HELL out of me. Ever helpful MW told me to stop being impatient last week, apparently she "wouldn't expect" me to have heard on dates at 9 weeks. Clearly this being my 1st pg I should know that! On the basis I'm having nuchal done as well so could be scanned from 11+3 I naively thought I might know by now so OH could get the time off work.

Congrats MainlyMaynie fab news!

sorry mrsbigw i missed your earlier post, that's great news, so glad you got to hear the heartbeat must have been lovely.

Mainly Maynie so glad it all went ok, congratulations.

i think i also forgot to welcome the newbies over the last few days i think there was 1 or 2.

knackered i agree i noticed particularly one commenter who suddenly started getting "attacked" because she made a comment disagreeing with one of the others about where scans were done. Have to admit it's the first time i read a thread from that page.

Morning all! Hope we are all Ok today. If anyone fancies a bit of lighthearted silliness, someone sent me a link to this.

Apparently I am having a girl, to be born a few days early, who will like art when she's older (what girl doesn't, really?!) Well only another 12 weeks to find out about if the girl bit's right, at least!

Hi all,

Sorry I havent been around for a while but I have been reading though and loving this thread as much as always.

I probably sound ridiculous but I just couldnt bear to or bring myself to comment. The sad, sad news on this thread has been absolultely heartbreaking and I honestly just did not know what to say to those who have lost their babies anymore.

I've sat here in shock as I've read some deliver the news and certaintly not to belittle those who have left in the past few weeks, a MC is devestating regardless of when, but I think the shock/ unexpectedness of it as we are really beginning to approach the worshiped 12 week mark coupled with the fact we've known those with recent losses quite some time time now, I found it impossible to put in to writing how, genuinely sorry I felt for those ladies. I am desperate for this baby and as ridiculous as it sounds, as this is "just" an internet forum, I equally prayed for healthy babies for everyone else here.

I've typed the words "Im so sorry" so many times that I felt it was almost completely loosing its meaning and sincerity and just didnt seem enough anymore.

Also, embarrasingly, extremely selfishly and completely indulgent, I started to panic. I started worrying about myself and my baby, particulary when I read about those who thought everything was fine only to discover no heartbeat . Im ashamed to admit that I found this too difficult to swallow and I was terrified and I just couldnt post.

Im sure I've depressed you all enough now! I promise my next post will be more upbeat. Hope all is well.

Oh and I meant to say SuperSunnyDay thank you so much m'love for thinking of me and looking for me - made me feel all warm and fuzzy

Morning!

thanks for the good wishes I am still on cloud 9, thats lovely news about your scan as well Mainly. Glad to hear about Brassica too!

cep I will be soo annoyed if my scan makes me 'lose' days although hopefully all our babies will come when they are ready anyway & not need induction etc when the time comes

banana maybe call the scan dept directly; when I told MW I still hadnt had scan date she called them for me & they said they had sent an appt letter out weeks ago which must have got lost in the post .

Thanks for the link ballet I am apparantly having a 9lb6 girl (!) who will love eating mangos lol.

Lovely too 'see' you again Barbie you have been missed. I understand where you are coming from, I have had days like that myself & I don't think my hormones have helped.
I know we were originally due date buddies but have you been 'put' further along now? You must be nearing the 12 wk mark either way? Hopefully we will all be on the up soon!

BalletPink

Thanks for the link!! I love a little fun like this . Mine said:

"You'll give birth to a baby boy, weighing 5lbs 8oz, after just two hours of labour. He'll be born a week or so early, on a day when some big celebrity gossip is all over the news. Everyone will tell you he looks like your dad. You'll be pleased to hear that he's going to be a good sleeper from an early age and when he gets a bit older he'll be very musical. According to our predictions, his favourite food will be bananas."

Na, just cant see it, firstly Im convinced this is a girl (which, in fairness means it more than likely is a boy ), seconldly 5lbs 8oz!!!!!! dont think so, mine were 8.10 and 8.5, Im always late - dd was 11 days late and ds was 2 (which was lovely).

I wonder will everyone say he looks like my dad? - Im the image of my dad - dark olivish skin, dark eyes, dark hair - my mum is blonde and blue eyed and as they were divorced and my dad lived in another country I was always asked was I adopted . DD is the image of her daddy and DS is completely like my mums family (her brothers) blonde etc.. - Im often asked am I sure they are mine? . Maybe this one will look like me (God love them) and therefore like my dad. The first day of my last period was the 25th of August (so obviously what we're counting the pregnancy from) and my dad died the next day. It'd be weird, wouldnt it?.

Good sleeper: fingers crossed!! although dd slept 8pm - 7am from 5 weeks old and ds has slept 7.30pm - 7.30am since 3 months. Hopefully the next one doesnt punish us for our luck!!!

and musical? ooooh hope so. DH is a singer, can play the clarinet, piano, guitar, bodhran, thin whistle and saxaphone - fingers crossed he gets that jean.

Ah thanks balletpink. Twas nice to be reminded of small babies and nice things. x

Sorry mrsbigw crossed posts.

Thank you so much . How are you feeling? sorry to hear you have had some bad days.

Yeah, I just cant wait until we're all over that date and have had our scans and can relax (a little).

I was due June 1st but scan put me due 28th May, which means I would be 12 weeks on Saturday. I dont know though, am positive of cycle (could be timed) and know when we conceived so although I was prefer to be due the 28th, have a feeling that it is the 1st, dont understand how it can be moved when Im so sure. If that makes sense?
You would be 12 weeks next Wednesday then, is that right?

Still havent heard a peep from hospital re: scan and although hopefully Ill hit the 3 month mark, wont be content until I see all is ok at that point.

balletpink - very amusing. Apparently I'm having a boy who'll only weight 5lb8oz and will like bananas as well as being musical! I'm hoping the weight prediction is right as my last one was 9lb 5.5oz and I'm only 5"2 so you can imagine the size of me!!!!

Morning all!

Mainly - fab news about your scan. Hearing the heart beat is quite amazing isn't it

Barbie - nice to have you back :) Don't worry about the news making you feel insecure and panicky about your pregnancy. I think it has to all of us in some way and we all cope with how we feel in different ways. I tend to talk/type lots and probably end up sounding insensitive so maybe I should take a leaf out of your book :)

Have lovely days. Hoping mine can only get better as dd had a half hour paddy refusing to go to school then ds started up refusing to walk/put shoes on/cut me some slack. Ended up driving (we live 5 mins walk ) and he ended up walking the short way from the car to the school with no shoes on, screaming all the time. He's now refusing to brush his teeth and I'm trying to find my calm place . . . . apparently it's here!

Hi Barbie i completely understand where you are coming from, i felt the same last week and only lurked for 5-6 days because i was being completely selfish and just didnt know what to say. Like you i was sent into a bit of a panic as we have known the mn's for several weeks. Yesterdays news also made me feel so sad......i try to be positive as i have no reason not to even though i have so few symtoms. But then some of the other ladies had no reason either......why is it all so difficult.
9+5 today, slowly creeping towards the 12 week goal and still no scan news. Like you i just want to see that everything is ok.

knackered you definately, definately have never sounded insensitive on here. I think people would have been lost if not for your posts. Wouldnt be much of a support thread if, when people need help and support most, others just fecked off - like me

Oh thank you so much moomin, I dont feel as guitly and abnormal now so apprecite that so much. You are right, you have no reason not to be positive, with my ds I had minimal symptoms (particulary compared to pregnancy with dd and this pregnancy), no sickness at all, no sore boobs - just a bit more tired and bloated. Hes asleep in his buggy beside me. 2 week and 2 days for you and very unmumsnet-like, I know but I'll hold your hand

According to ballets link mine will be
You'll give birth to a baby girl, weighing a bouncing 9lbs 6oz, after a 12-hour labour. She'll be born either on her due date or one day before or after. The day she's born, a celebrity gossip story will be all over the news - most likely a kiss and tell. Everyone will tell you that your baby girl looks just like you. Soon after she's born, a teddy that she receives from an old friend will become her favourite toy and will stay her favourite for a long time - she'll probably take it away to university one day. From when she's a toddler, her favourite food will be mango.

I do think its a girl though.......and i was born on my due date :)

knackered and barbie we are all having the same baby, thanks to ballet's link! 5lb 8oz is absolutely fine by me, thank you very much, along with two hours of labour.

Just listening to Take That's second single, which is called Kidz. The chorus goes, 'There will be trouble when the kidz come out'. In my current state that feels like a warning!

8rd I'm on another thread with brassica and yep, she's upduffed again :) She has been on Clomid, she's really funny, and she totally deserves it :)

I don't think any of us should worry too much about our responses when we hear bad news. It's such a worrying time for everyone and in my view everybody has been very sensitive on this thread whether or not they've always posted replies. Sometimes it's really hard to know what to say - last week in particular there seemed to be a barrage of sadness - and whether people kept their distance or offered their support, I'm sure everyone did it with the best of intentions.

Yay for your symptoms supersunny! You're right, I was right! I threw up for the first time this morning, and in between heaves all I could think was 'yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees. Proper puke!'

Still feeling dodgy though and the novelty is wearing off already

Hope you get through to your midwife soon catherineps. Infuriating, isn't it?!

Ooh yours is such a sweet one moomin (although dont fancy a 9lbs 6oz baby somehow)

SuperSunny thanks again, MS isnt too bad - am still vomiting from time to time (sorry ) but nowhere close to the extent I was before. Its been replaced with constant nausea instead . Am very tired too, unusually tired for pregnancy even but have been told that this is one of symptoms of hyperemisis, apparantly. I dont mind, Im trying to look at it all as a good sign. Im very big too.

I was so annoyed last week, if anyone remembers me rambling on about the trouble Im having in work with line manager and about her constant bullying? well, signed off sick last Monday week (obviously with hyperemis) within 2 hours of informing work, I received 2 calls congratulating me on my pregnancy from colleagues. When I asked them how they knew, they said Line Manager had called them into her office to tell them all that I had sent in a G.P's cert citing pregnancy related illness . Very angry.

This was at just 10 weeks pregnant and we hadnt yet told DH's family. I received congratulations on facebook from work collegaues and on the street. We had to rush and tell all family memebers asap in case they just heard it. . We were hoping to announce it in a nicer way. I was rang yesterday by someone I know from work but who works in a different department to congratulate me. He too said he happened to be in our offices for something when she called him into her office and told him whats on my cert. She also said its disgusting how Im clearly abusing the system but getting pregnant again .

Sorry. Im really making up for my absense with all the posts - Im supposed to be writing an essay for tort law!!

takethat and barbie - if we're all having the same could one of you please have mine for me and pass it on
