Goodness, so sorry to hear more worrying news for so many of us. Star, Mel, issy and broughthim - thinking of you all.
I am feeling absolutely shattered, dh is away and the boys are both asleep so am gonna get myself to bed.
Told my nanny yesterday who was lovely so that's one worry gone. Keep changing my mind about my manager but think I probably will this week or next.
Take care everyone.

Just ordered a chinese - DH away out for the night and won't be back until tomorrow. Counting the minutes until DS goes to bed and then can curl up with x factor and hope our local fireworks display doesn't wake the kids up.

clench234 · 06/11/2010 20:01

Sasamax, you are such a tease with your tempting food Wink. I had fish fingers for tea withe kids and now I am going to be dreaming about Chinese, maybe tomorrow - my dh is away most of this week. Hope your kids stay asleep and the noodles are good :-)

Homemade lasagne for me tonight.

Morning sickness (i.e. wanting to chuck my guts up 95% of the time) seems to have eased a little this week for me so have actually cooked for the first time in about 3 weeks.

I had pre-made frozen cheese ommelette the other day as 3 minutes waiting for the microwave was all I could face Blush

takethatlady · 06/11/2010 21:53

Mmmm homemade lasagne and chinese takeaway.

I've had carrots, cucumber, salsa dip and fruit smoothies in a desperate attempt to speed up my, ahem, system ...

Thanks for the lactulose tip ladies. Still waiting for my maternity exemption to come through, but as soon as it does I'm off to get some!

bananarama05 · 06/11/2010 22:00

takethatlady I joked the other day I'd taken up eating fruit and fibre as a recreational activity!

3 days in and half a box (and most of my office's fruit bowl) later it seemed to work so good luck Wink

takethatlady · 06/11/2010 22:03

Oooh good idea. Might have bran flakes with dried apricots as a midnight snack Smile

sasamaxx · 06/11/2010 22:21

lol clench - sorry!
The fireworks woke the kids up but we all watched them from my bedroom window and the chinese food was late because of all the traffic parked outside for the display. Luckily they eventually went back to sleep and I lovingly tucked into my Lar Che beef with noodles - yum yum - I could eat it all again now Grin

Morning all! Had my first night out with all my friends last night since finding out about pg. My one friend who does know congratulated me on my excellent subterfuge at the end of the night! It was an engagement meal in a private room above a pub, I drove to the pub and hid the car a couple of streets away, sipped a glass of prosecco (poured half of it down the toilet!!!), and then swapped red wine glasses with my partner all night over dinner. Had some yummy food, and luckily the ms seemed to keep away for the evening; pork tenderloin salad, sea bream with crab canneloni, then sticky toffee pudding - yum yum!

The difficult bit was not smoking, as a lot of my friends smoke and were heading downstairs to the garden constantly, but I didn't buckle, and am very pleased with myself this morning Smile.

Hope everyone else had a good Saturday night. We're off to buy a new bed today, then local fireworks display tonight Smile.

wonnaywombat · 07/11/2010 09:52

Morning all. Hope you all enjoyed your dinners last night (those of you who were able to anyway!)

Sorry to put a dampner on your Sundays, but I'll be bowing out of this thread. I had my second scan today for what should have been 9+2 but it only measured at 7+6 and no heartbeat. There had been a heartbeat when I had my first scan that put me at 6+5. Ob/gyn was so lovely and DH was there too so lots of good support. She offered to send me to a separate ob/gyn for second opinion, which was really kind, but there really isn't any point. I had mc at end of May at around 6 weeks when I knew as I was bleeding but this time is much harder as things seemed to be progressing ok and there is no bleeding. Now need to decide what route to take i.e. let it happen naturally or go for an ERPC (medicine for bringing it on is not an option here in Dubai as it is illegal) - we're going to have a think about what is best and I'll take some advice from mc forums on here. I am at work today which may seem mad, but I need a distraction.

I really, really do wish the rest of you all the very best with your pg's - you're a great bunch of ladies and I have enjoyed meeting and sharing with you all. Stay sticky and look forward to your bundles of joy next year!

misshoohaa · 07/11/2010 10:05

wombat really sorry to hear your news. Finding out a scan with no prior warning must be devastating, really big hugs and my thoughts are with you.

8rubberduckies · 07/11/2010 10:09

Wombat that's such sad news, I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. I'm glad you have lots of support and have sympathetic Ob/Gyn people around you. Take it easy [hug]

Sarahmumtobe · 07/11/2010 10:17

wombat I'm so so sorry to hear your news. As others have mentioned I'm glad the medical staff are sympathetic and that you have a supportive DH. Thinking of you, take care.

Oh no wonnaywombat - really sorry to hear that Sad

knackered76 · 07/11/2010 11:13

wombat - so sorry to hear your news :(. The mc forum here is really helpful. It really helped when I went through the same thing, answering lots of questions and giving lots of support and understanding. If it's any help, I had an erpc and it was fine.

knackered76 · 07/11/2010 11:16

Sorry, haven't read through the latest posts yet, but will do! Feel a bit self indulgent so please bear with me. We have friends coming today, fine really but all I want to do is curl up and cry :( I have no idea why, other then those lovely hormones, but am quite convinced that something has gone wrong. My boobs aren't as sore, I don't feel queasy anymore and I'm not even that tired. I know that could be because I'm 10+1 or because it's all going wrong. Probably will have perked up later but just feel down at the moment. Anyway, back to life and cleaning the house before it gets destroyed later!

Sarahmumtobe · 07/11/2010 11:24

Knackered, I had similar feelings last Monday- suddenly felt fine and no food aversions etc. I went for a private scan the next day and all was fine. I felt sick again the next day and now my signs are coming and going although I seem to be very emotional over so many things - last night cried at Strictly come dancing! I hope you're ok, but try not to worry and enjoy seeing your friends today.

Thats worth knowing supersunnyday cause my symptons do seems to vary from day to day. Today I've not really got many. Less than two weeks till my scan I'm just wishing the time away!

Wobblewatcher · 07/11/2010 12:05

Oh my god there seems to be such bad news on this thread Sad so sorry to those of you who have had bad news, it's truly devastating. Thankfully time is a healer, take care to all of you, sorry I am not writing individual messages but have no broadband so I'm at my mums with very little time!

My private scan is tomorrow and I'm dreading it. Was being and feeling sick but it's stopped now Sad

namechangedfor3months · 07/11/2010 12:12

I'm so sorry to read previous sad posts.

Haven't posted for a while. I'm 8+4 now. Haven't been contacted by midwives so no scan dates and only 3 very close to me people know so am finding it very lonely atm. Also - my 13m DS is still very much keen on feeding when he sees me most of the time and my nipples are complete agony. If he's with Daddy or at nursey he doesn't even miss it and will go from 7-5 without it. It's draining me a hell of a lot atm because he cries if I refuse it - cries when I appear and so when I let him feed then it's like torture Sad. He's also waking for a few feeds at night. It's just like when he was a tongue-tied newborn again. I'm really struggling to know what's best to do - stop it completely and suffer the screaming or carry on and hope it will get better...

Sorry for the whinge Blush

KaraStarbuckThrace · 07/11/2010 13:11

wombat - I am so sorry to hear your news, how devastating for you {{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}

Namechange - ouch that does sound painful! There are a few tandem feeders on the breast & bottle topic, might be worth trying to get some advice there? I am not really sure what to suggest to be honest, I think it is supposed to get better.

cep · 07/11/2010 15:04

wombat - so sorry to hear your news. please look after yourself.

brought him round - sorry to hear you're still bleeding, fingers crossed that they'll give you a scan and that it's ok.

welcome newbies

well i seem to have the exhaustion at the moment, sooo tired just don't have energy for anything, can't stop yawning. i'm getting moaned at for not doing anything, but i really don't care.

yellowtomato · 07/11/2010 16:20

Oh no womabat I am so sorry to hear your news, such a horrible shock with no warning. I'm glad the staff were kind and hope you are looking after yourself and can make the right treatment decision for you.

broughthimround how did it go with the midwife today? Hope she was able to sort out a scan for you, have my fingers crossed.

knackered sorry you are feeling anxious but I have to say that I know exactly what you mean. I've not had any symptoms from the start and am so terrified that things have gone wrong. I have my follow up scan on Thurs so I'm sure I'll be in an even worse state by then. I'd like like some proof, some sign of progression.....time is going so slowly it's awful...

Hope everyone else is ok
