November 2011 - holding hands, making plans & having scans

[TerrysNo2]

Thread 2 for the chatty lot. Welcome from the first thread and hopefully some newbies too!

This thread is for chats and this thread is for stats!

Continue as you were....

Thinking of you Cep x

Hope everyone else is ok. So bloody tired.

Quite a lot of brown blood this morning. Am hoping this is just the remains of the twin coming away, rather than anything to do with the healthy baby.
Am flying out this afternoon as well. Timing couldn't be worse.

FX for you today Cep x x

Chip, sorry to hear that you are having worries again... hopefully as you say it is just the twin and not the healthy bean. Brown blood is old blood so it isn't fresh which to me would suggest that that is all it is. Try not to worry and don't hesitate to contact MW or GP if you are worried, definitely better to be safe and put your mind at rest where ever you are!! Thinking of you x x

I've had another busy weekend so haven't been around much - lol always loads to catch up on after a few days! I've only read the last 2 pages so sorry if I've missed anythign!

DH made mother's day very special, even though I cried for much of the day. He'd written a lovely card as if it was from Belle and this new baby (that we're calling Bow for the moment, as in rainbow) We stayed at the hotel where we got married with spa treatments and bought an extra special bouquet of flowers for Belle's garden.

thinking of you cep and you chip xx

Sickness has become horrendous again here, but I knew it would so that's fine. Hopefully be coming out the other side of it all in a few weeks anyway. Keeping very little down at the moment. Had midwife visit yesterday at home and we filled in my green notes. 3 weeks until next scan - time is going to slowly. 8+6 today.

chipmonkey will be thinking of you! I still have small bleeds as well... been told not too worry too much...
told my mum yesterday about the bleeds and she said she had it several times during her pregnancies. she has been pregnant 7 times, of which 3 resulted into MC.
take it easy and phone MW or doctor when worried!

Morning all

cep FX for today, hope all goes well!

chip as bumpand said brown blood is old so given there was a twin its likely to be from that. Get yourself to EPU if you are worried, I am sure they will try to reassure you too.

CazandBelle your DH sounds very thoughtful. I can't even imagine how hard it was for you but hopefully thinking of Belle but also the new bump bought you some comfort.

9+6 today, sickness pretty much gone and now stressing about it!! Got a definite bump though which is getting more and more difficult to hide from work.

Hope everyone has a good day. Any other scans apart from cep?

Morning all,
Sorry I've not been around much, I'm so tired, I just haven't got the energy to do anything.
Had a lovely birthday/mothers day on sunday, lots of giggles and lovely treats.
DS bought me a lovely bag from monsoon (surprisingly it was identical to the one I'd just showed my friend before she and DS went back into the shop!), some pretty flowers and a chocolate muffin cake with a candle in.
I was in bed by 9.30, totally worn out!
DH called yesterday, had a lovely chat for about 35mins which might be a record! First time I'd been able to talk to him in over a week.

Today DS and I are having a lazy day, the weathers miserable so we're laid on the sofa with the blanket and DS is watching 'his tv'. Thought I'd pop in here and catch up then might have a snooze before lunch!
A real lazy day!

I hope Tuesday goes easy on everyone and passes by uneventfully!

Cep good luck for your scan.
Chip hope things are ok? It sounds like a reasonable explanation that it could be the twin... Hope the flight isn't to stressful and you manage to get some rest soon xx

Have a slice of virtual birthday cake everyone, can't make you sick this way!

Is there still no news from Piplysmelie? Has anyone seen her around MN?
Hope she's ok xx

Am I the only person not able to have an early scan? I feel left out...

Hello all, Cep I hope your scan went well. Glad so many others have had good news too. Folic I hope you have stopped worrying, the internet is both a curse and a blessing! I have been through a phase of obsessively trying to determine whether it's possible my pregnancy could be ectopic, if I have even the slightest pain .

Wuzz I haven't had a scan, mine is not until 5 May as I decided not to pay for early one. Thought I was the last one left! When is yours?

afternoon ladies.

folic hope your scan's gone well hon.

wuzz glad you enjoyed your birthday. I haven't seen piplys either on here or on rest of mn.

My scan went well. saw hb, and they put dates back to 9+3 which i worked out before. am relieved, although (rolls eyes) not completely relaxed yet.... will i ever be.

thankyou all for your lovely thoughts. you really are great.

I haven't even got a date for mine yet Mash!
Don't see the midwife til the 20th, hoping I find out then or I might explode!
DH is due home the week I'll be 12wks, I'm looking forward to him being able to be there for it but at the same time, worried that something will be wrong and that'll be the first thing he has to deal with when he comes home... I won't be able to get an early scan unless I go private, which I just can't afford.
Hey ho.

Feel utterly rubbish today, definitely the worst I've felt so far.
DS is being a little star, not complained once.
Feel guilty for not doing anything today but its only once in a while...

I've spent the morning looking at prams and searching ebay for maternity clothes!
My only pair of maternity jeans came out yesterday, first time. Just felt so sick when I buttoned my normal jeans up!

cep thats such good news.

I had GP appt earlier today and he did a quick scan, pointed out heartbeat and says everything looks good. I was so relieved. I had posted away back at the beginning of this thread (or more likely the thread that preceeded this one) that my pg test was such a faint line that I was starting to convince myself I had imagined it. For some reason, I never could bring myself to do another one, I know that sounds weird, but I tried to and just couldn't. Anyway, turns out I didn't imagine it after all, there's definitely something there!

Also, having posted a couple of weeks ago saying that I felt fortunate not to have the dreaded ms, I seem to have vomited every day now for about a week. Nice!! Anyway, mustn't complain, this has been a postive day!

snoozle great news, wish my gp had a scanner.

folic are you back? how'd it go?

Oh so sorry ladies - been away for a bit and arrived back to find BT had cut off our broadband for no reason! I work from home, so it's vital. Cue lots of shouting and it seems we're back online but had no time to catch up - will try later.

Just to say I'm fine, 8w tomorrow (how did that happen!), scan 2 weeks tomorrow (eek!). Nausea and no appetite morning and evening so doing most of my eating at lunchtime when i seem to be hungry.
Not caught up with thread, so hoe all is OK for everyone. Yay for scan news and I will try to catch up soon (saw your pm Terrys thank you).

Hey girls - do we need a facebook group for us all to share newborn piccies come November?

Back later, all being well. DD on her way back from nursery - let the teatime bedlam begin.

Hi ladies

On phone which is crap for reading the past posts so sorry if I've missed anything and not name checked.

Just a quick one from me. This time 2 weeks ago I was sat in my gp's surgery, effectively moaning I had no symptoms. May have even posted on here. Good god I wish I could turn the clock back! I've been feeling rotten now for the past 5 days and although not being sick, I feel it ALL day - in fact the only time I don't is when I'm asleep and even then, because I'm peeing constantly during the night, the minute I wake I get the sickness feeling again.

Have got a horid chesty cough too and its making me feel right miserable even though I know I shoud be happy. So then I feel guilty. Viscious circle. I am eating crap as that's all I can stomach - biscuits, plain hula hoops etc.

How's everyone? Not as bloody miserable as me I hope?!!

Folic, I did this in my last pregnancy and nearly drove myself round the bend doing google searches on miscarriage risks, etc. I now have a healthy beautiful DD.

Just tell yourself this - there are nearly 7 billion people in the world. Most pregnancies go right.xx

Hello one and all,

Had scan and all is good, growth as expected, due date pushed back a bit. Absolute relief. Had another wobble in afternoon but got a grip of self.

I intend to try and relax and enjoy from now on.

Thank you all so much for listening to me banging on and fretting, hope I've not been a total pain, it's hard when you don't want to bring the thread down IYKWIM?

Evening all,

Glad all went well Cep.

Had my midwife appt today, really nice midwife who was literally in tears by the end of my booking appt - it was her last day at my surgery, after 21years she is being moved

Anyway, appt went really well. Am 9+1 today, have to call up tomorrow to arrange dating scan (we've decided not to have Nuchal). Midwife sees no problem with me having a home birth :o and get to have my scans in the community hospital 2minute walk away rather than 30minute drive to the main hospital :o Now got to wait another 7weeks before I meet the Midwife who will see me through my pg.

Really excited that MW agreed to homebirth, she was even excited by it; knew there was no reason for me not to but still wasn't sure as I know some MW aren't as keen. Scary thought though is that it may be the MW I work alongside (am community nurse based in same GP surgery) that may end up being at delivery!!

Oh and it was worth having a really bad day with ms yesterday as today nothing... not even nausea :o

All in all really good day

Hope others have had a good day too, x x

folic yay glad you had a good scan too.

bumpsand glad the mw was good, she's being moved though. must be weird to think you'd be going through that with someone you possibly work with. although on the positive if she's not happy about the home birth you have a few months to work on her.

Evening all, so glad to hear that your scan went well cep, I dont post much but am keeping up with you all, just don't have too much to tell mostly.

Wuzz I have my first scan on 27th April and a booking in appointment the week after, so still waiting, although we could afford a private scan I think I'd like to wait till the NHS one, use the money for other things.

I did have a little ms and then it got better and I was feeling smug, well that was definitely premature, was so ill today, the sandwiches which DH had made me just turned my stomach and the only thing that helped was crisps, chocolate and diet irn bru. Honestly that stuff is a miracle cure, don't know what dodgy chemicals it has in it, but am loving it at the moment - turns everything orange though....

cep so glad things went well for you. Have been thinking of you today, it's funny how you feel like you know someone just from reading the forum!

Good for you too folic.

Think I'm well behind everyone here, have only got my first doctor's appointment tomorrow. So far no real symptoms apart from weeing A LOT. I'm a bit nervous about not having morning sickness as I read that it's actually a good sign but I'm only 7 weeks so it could be all to come....

You're not behind littlemiss - I saw the mw last Friday but that was my first contact. No scan date or anything and it's not likely to be until end April, beginning May.

And the sun shone down on our thread for another day ... so glad it was shining on you cep and folic. And the rest of you who've had good pregnancy days .

I am also completely and utterly shattered ....

Hello all, just wanted to give a little wave and say I'm still here, reading and keeping up when I can. I'm very boring with not much going on, though am pleased that my boobs are growing a bit now - the only symptom that sounded any fun!

Really pleased to hear good news from folic and Cep. I hope you may both have a little more piece of mind x

I just want to say a big thank you to all of you that asked about me.

I had my scan on Friday and they could not see a heat beat, however the pregnancy sac has grown from an earlier scan. The lady who did the scan was lovely and said she would re-scan me in two weeks. It was so nice to have a really caring radiologist for a change.

I however knew it was a MMC, I think sometime you just do.

I had bleeding and excruiating pain over the weekend, in the end we had to get the Doctor to come out and give me pain relief. Never had this before in the other MC's I had. So I think I will be leaving this bus.

Again thank you for being so supportive and I wish you all the best.

Pip.

Piply so sorry to hear your news, not much I can say, but I hope you look after yourself and let everyone else look after you too, it might not be over though?
