As you were

Evening all, welcome back to those who have been travelling!
I have got another stinking cold and cough. Not pleased. And still feeling sicky. To top it all, when I picked DS up from nursery tonight, I noticed he wasn't looking to happy. So I picked him up and gave him a hug, and he barfed all down my front. So I am standing there, other parents in and out, in a puddle of sick, wondering whether I should drive home naked to prevent getting it all over the upholstery. (I didn't, thankfully I found a Pacamac in the boot to sit on). Bleugh. Anyway, he has cheered up now, think he has the same cold as I do.
I've got my nuchal scan on Friday. Feeling a bit anxious tbh. Scans have generally not been too good for us in the past, mmc and various problems with DS. So will be very happy and relieved if all is well.
Somebody mentioned their nails are nice at the moment....oooh yes, that is a positive! Mine are all strong and shiny, I had forgotten about that. :o

Hi everyone, not much to update but wanted to wish those of you with scans this week good luck. I cannot believe we've made it this far already! I've still got a few weeks yet till my scan - will be 12 and a half weeks - but time is starting to speed by.

Apparently a few people at work have been gossiping about whether or not I'm pregnant, and someone noticed my boobs had gotten bigger! I know this because there are a few people who do know and are keeping me updated on what's being said. Was hoping it to be a surprise but guess I've been rumbled. Also I think I'm starting to show already, but to be fair I could just have put weight on from all the grazing I'm having to do to keep the nausea at bay!

Morning all....unfortunately I am going to be leaving this group. Had my booking appointment and scan yesterday and it wan't happy news. No heartbeat and erythipng was much too small forour dates. Have to go back next Friday for a scan to confirm miscarriage and then decide what we want to do next unless things happen naturally in the meantime. DH and I are in bits....not really sure what you are supposed to do in this limbo time while we wait. Couldn't face work today but no idea how to spend the next 10 days.

I really wish the rest of you the very best and pray you all have happy and healthy pregnancies and little babies.

oh fubble I'm so sorry to hear your news - that must be awful. I hope you and DH manage to get through the next few weeks ok. Take care xx

gosh, I'm so tired this morning that I had a little cry on my way to work about how tired I was . I just can't face the thought of starting work - I came in yesterday to clear up emails after being away for a week but still have an enormous number which need dealing with. I'm so tired that my head is spinning. And I have three hours of exercise to do tonight!

zzzzz....

right guys, im seriusly had enough of morning sickness now if i drink water its straight back up as soon as it hits my tummy. any tips, as i went shopping today and had a sip of water and was sick in the carpark. on a lighter note got loads for baby. Dnt forget to join boots mother and baby group. X

Morning Ladies.
Just had a quick look over the last few days. Busy thread.
fumble so sorry to hear your news, my thoughts are with you and your family x

I too have also been rumbled, quite a few mums at our playgroup suspected my pregnancy. Some for reasons that were nothing to do with the baby
But everyone knows now as we had a succesful scan yesterday. My dates are spot on so still due Jan-1st. Baby was very very active which was great to see and Dd loved seeing her little brother/sister jumping about on the screen.
Got the nuchal test done as well, apparently the bloods take 3weeks to come.

Nausea you have out stayed your welcome!!! Grrr

Oh Fubble hugs. So sorry. And what a long time to have to wait. Can you not request a cancellation earlier, or do they want to give it time to be sure? I remember that horrible, horrible time, be good to each other and take great care of yourself. xx

fumble so sorry to hear that you had to find out like that. Sendinf you and your other half hugs.

HAve decisded not to tell any one at my kids schools as they will be finishing this summer there and I can keep it all to my self for longer. I don't really want to explain how no.5 happened ie planned/surprise.

Fubble Im so sorry about your terrible news, I know how you are both feeling ((hugs)) Tell them you want blood tests toconfirm the MC, you would get the results back in 3 days, then you could decide what to do and be ready for it. They shouldnt leave you waiting all that time with an unconfirmed MC.

knittiekitty I think I might give belly dancing a trywhen Im in Tunisia in two weeks time (Ill check out the mother-in-laws moves!!!!!)

mums2be79 Cant you self refer to your EPU to get a scan?? Its ridiculous that you have to wait so long. I tried to alter my scan date yesterday as its the day before we fly. They couldnt change it but she told me to self refer to the EPU. (I have decided to stick to my original scan date)

spagbol good luck with your scan on Friday :)

mummyzoe sounds like you've got sickness really bad, poor you (hugs)

My sickness is easing off a little Woo Hoo! but im very particular with my food still and emptying the bin is still a big No No!!! lol

fubble I am so sorry to hear your news. Don't know what else to add that others above haven't already said, but hope you'll be ok.

I'm so so sorry fubble.

Fubble - I'm also so sad to hear your news and hope you and dh can support each other through the next couple of weeks. Awful news and I wish you the best for the future :(

I'm with you mummyzoe but don't have any cures. I'm wearing those seasick bands but they only appear to be making my wrists itchy! Maybe it's a distraction thing?

Congrats Sho its great news that everything is doing ok. I have my scan on Thurs and I'm bit nervous. We had a very high risk nuchal result last time and went on to have the CVS test. We were surprised by how strong the views of our parents were though. They didn't have scans in the 70s so felt that we shouldn't have started worrying and having tests. If anything happens this time we plan to keep quiet and not tell them as it's our much discussed choice and we lives miles away from our family and have no practical help to fall back on. Oh I can feel the tension returning as I type, enough already!

Hi all - Fubble - im so very sorry to hear your news - I pray that while you wait you and your DH support each other and talk about your feelings, for only you know how your feeling for its happening to you. My thoughts are with you and yours at this very sad time!
Sho - im so pleased for you and that all is well with your lil bean.
I also have bad news and it seems that my baby had stopped growing at 9/10wk so i have had a rollercoaster ride of mad emotions. woke up yesterday morning and was excited about scan and in a few second was told its not good news! so had an awful nite and i have decided to go for the op to get it over with quickly. I cant bear feeling pregnant still but knowing im not!
God is a healer and i have the full support of my whole family and close friends.
I Pray that you all have safe and healthy pregnancies and lovely babies in the new year! all the best to you all, was lovely sharing with you all.
all my love Mama2b5 xxxxx

im sorry to hear about the latest losses, i wish lots of stickiy baby dust in he very near future.

well have been to the docs and have been signed off for a 3 lot of 2 weeks, im soo bored at home.

mama5 and fubble I'm so sorry for your news, my thoughts are with you both x

mama5and fubble so very sorry. It's so very sad, please take good care of yourselves. X

mama5 so sorry to hear so bad news for you to

Such sad news today from mama5 and fubble. It must be so heartbreaking at this stage in your pregnancy.

I haven't got a scan date (but 12 weeks + 1 day) and worried sick that it could happen to me - despite having 'blossomed' last week and getting the odd nausea feeling, sensitive boobs (although diminishing) and LOTS of twinges in my tummy - stretching kind.

I didn't realise until falling pregnant how anxious and nervous a time it is!

mama5 and fubble So very sorry to hear your news....our thoughts are with you x

mama5 and fubble I am so sorry for you both. I hope you both get lots of support from your families and we're here for you. I wish I could say something more comforting but this pregnancy thing is such a cruel process I don't know what to say. Our bodies make us love these little beans and then snatch them away from us. I am thinking of every single one of you ladies and hoping that it works out for each of us either this time or next xxx

So sorry to catch up with today's news from fubble and mama5. Thinking of you both.
I'm with several of the other ladies- you can't help worry that you'll be next having to post such devastating news so fingers crossed for everyone who has scans in the next wee while.

Mum2be79 it's nerve racking first or 5th baby. I am not feeling any easier

Also so sorry to hear today's sad news.

And so agree with above posts.I thought I was just going to feel full of serene permanent joy as soon as I found out I was pregnant,but to be honest have been finding it difficult to feel excited at all due to consent worrying. I had my 12 wk scan this afternoon...spent most of the morning crying in the toilets at work cos I had got myself in such a state worrying about what might happen... The scan went well, baby was very active and the sonographer found it difficult to get a good view so couldn't take an accurate nuchal measurement. So now I've got to go back in a couple of weeks to have the quadruple test done,and although she assured me she couldn't see any thickening and it was just cos she couldn't do the measurement accurately I still just feel a bit funny and anxious about it.

Anyway,have just had a long conversation with my mum who said I just need to stop worrying or I won't be able to enjoy any part of it and it's so true...just easier said than done.
