June anyone?

[StarlightMcKenzie]

MyMama don't give up just yet, there is always hope, sending you lots of hugs and hope this week goes quickly for you and that the bleeding stops soon. Have they given you antyhing for the bleeing, is there anything they can do?

Mymama I really really hope that it's just too small. Try to keep some hope. Xx

mama, glad I'm not the only one not able to stomach food. I just did the same as you...forced down a bowl of soup just because I needed to eat something. Everything is turning my stomach, including all my usual favourite things like coffee and chocolate.

Goldrill, hope you are ok.

I've just made a doctors appointment for Wednesday...I know he won't do anything at this stage but I need to discuss te safety of someday medications that I usually use to keep a couple of minor medical conditions under control.

I've also had to cancel a laser hair removal appointment which I'm a bit gutted about. It was the last session of a course of 6 but you can't have it when pregnant. The girl on the phone was lovely and congratulated me (which sounds weird to hear someone say) but I'll never get the flawless hair free armpits I was hoping for

Mymama at least there is a little bit of hope keeping my fingers crossed for you, rest up and look after yourself.
Goldrill keeping my fingers crossed for you too.

Good Afternoon Ladies!

It's been a busy weekend on here hasn't it!

Mymamatoldme Please try and stay positive, I know it must be terribly hard but don't give up hope!

Goldrill Hope you are ok, I had a small amount of bleeding last Wednesday, went to the pharmasist (as it was in the evening) and they assured me that it happens in a lot of pregnancies, I did another test just to be certain when I got home and it still came up positive! Fingers crossed for you!

Dalrymps Really sorry to hear about your SIL, as others have said there is really nothing for you to feel guilty about, unfortunately mother nature can be a total bitch at time and there is nothing that we can do to stop her!

Seriouslystrongcheddar I have given up on the bath front, I absolutely love baths but I can't be lying in a luke warm one, have taken to showers and not even enjoying them as much with the temperature turned down! We went over a very close friends on the weekend for dinner and it was very strange not to be joining in on the vino front, but that didn't bother me anywhere near as much as when the cheese board came out and there was a big wedge of brie - it was like torture not being able to eat it!

GarrottingItLady I was the same as you, had absolutely no cues that I would get a BFP this month, in fact I had already written it off, it was because I was late that I relented and POAS, I honestly couldn't believe it! All I still have at the moment is slighty sore boobs (not painful though), a constant need to pee (very annoying!), tiredness that is just crazy - I don't think I've ever had as much sleep - oh and a hightened sense of smell!

Florin Yep, I had an afternoon nap on both Saturday and Sunday, not entirely sure how I am going to go through a full day today! We have only told my best friend and her husband, we were with them on the weekend and they have just had their 1st DD, it just seemed right to tell them, we will be telling our parents towards the end of this week before the party we have to go to on Saturday. So far I have only done 2 tests!

Right I think I have answered most enquiries people had - if I have missed anyone I really am sorry but just got into the office and writing this the same time and eating my sandwich!

Hope everyone has a lovely day! Xx

Urgh I feel terrible. I've had to ask my brother to get DS1 from school as I dont feel up to walking there.

Please tell me it's ok to put my pjs on already

KAyzr sorry youre feeling rough...

Milly Im also knackered, trying to work from home, but no motivation whatsoever. (Hence MN)! Wish I could have a nap.....

Mymama Sorry you are going though this, I hope the week passes quickly for you and DH, so you can know for sure where things are up to. The waiting is horrible.

So whats all this about baths then???!! I dont know if i can give up a nice bath...... Is this a new thing, or did I just miss it the last couple of pregnancies?

Hey greengoose! I think it's the fact I like steaming hot baths and couldn't sit in a luke warm bath that puts me off- isn't it something like you're not supposed to raise your body temp so much?

I would be tempted to have a sneaky nap! X

mamma and goldrill i'm so sorry,i hope everything works out ok,i had a mc in feb and understand what a scary and worrying time it is,i have my fingers crossed for you both x

I'm feeling really rough too kayzr,sick of feeling sick and i could fall asleep on a washing line!
I have my first midwife meeting tomorrow,i went to the gp last week and he sent the referral off and i had a message left on my answer phone a few days later,which i was actually a bit about as my 14yr old dd could have picked it up!
I will let you know tomorrow how it goes,she is coming to the house and she said it will take about an hr and a half,goodness knows what we will talk about for that long!

p.s can you tell by this post that another symptom i have in abundance is grumpiness

So jealous of those of you who are sleeping loads! I have raging insomnia! I'm one of those people who NEEDS lots of sleep or I am horrible to be around. Pity my poor work colleagues if this keeps up much longer.

Thankyou so much for the kind thoughts: it really made a difference for me today. I'm just finishing work now and I am fairly sure it's over: too much blood and stuff has come down for it not to be.

I am sad, but I am heartened that I fell pregnant for the second time in a row within a month or so of TTC, and that it was only 5 weeks - had an MMC at 12 weeks which was handled very badly several years ago and this is just not on that scale. On the whole I am very lucky: this little bundle of cells did not work properly and next time I hope they will. I will go home and cuddle my lovely DD and remember it could be a lot worse.

(And then I'll have a bloody big glass of wine.)

So, I can come off the stats list and hope to be on another one soon. I really mean it about the kind thoughts btw - today would have been a much blacker day without being able to escape for a bit to MN!

Garrotting - I can't have goats cheese? Oh damn. I really like it too. I'm vegetarian so cheese is one of my favourite things. Although, to be fair, it used to be one of my favourite things long before I became veggie! I knew about the brie and camembert, but not the goats cheese. Ah well, you live and learn.

ReadySteady - Twinings do a decaf tea, eh? Now that might be worth a look - thanks for the tip.

Goldrill - thinking of you; hope you're okay.

MyMama - hope the week goes quick for you and you can get an answer.

Goldrill - xpost. Sorry to hear things haven't gone well for you today. Enjoy the cuddle and the wine.

So sorry Goldrill :( This one want meant to be but you're time will come...very soon, hopefully. You take care of yourself xx

Goldrill So sorry to read your sad news, good luck for the future and take care.

Mymama Keep thinking positive and fingers crossed for you. Hope time passes quick til your next scan.

Welcome to all the other new ladies and congratulations!

Ray May have to look at those bras, boobs are getting bigger and more painful. Their pricey but if they last the whole time and change with your shape must be better than buying lots!

vix are the drops still working? Have to say I think I am falling to sleep quicker and after any nocturnal trips to the toilet, I am taking a few drops and falling back to sleep quicker! My DH said he would give it a go after me telling him its good for "busy" heads. Told him 4 drops, next thing he is groaning how gross it is and I discover he has swallowed 4 pipettes full! Wally!!

We went away for a lovely weekend to Center Parcs and typically the nausea set in on Saturday, couldn't believe it! My DD is still a bit poorly so managed to nap when she collapsed during the day so that was good.

Sure my belly is starting to get more prominent and DH asked me why I was waddling already earlier!

Hi everyone, another one for the full steam ahead June bus here!

DC2 for me, my DS is 16mo. A bit of surprise, so feel a bit about that one... who would have thought that not using contraception would result in pregnancy?? Did a couple of tests last week, two faint+, one BFN, so think I might get another today. No AF though, nearly 2 weeks late. No symptoms yet - I had bad nausea last time but can't remember when it kicked in.

It feels quite different this time, not being planned, but I think we're getting used to the idea. Also, last time we were in London but now in New Zealand, so a whole different health system to get my head around. You get to choose your midwife here, but there's next to no information about people's experience, specialisations etc. I had a 3rd degree tear last time so want someone v. experienced to manage delivery... a bit of research coming up.

Godrill - sorry for your loss today, I hope everyone else is feeling okay.

Hello :)

i think i am due in June but have only just POAS'd, so no scan to confirm as of yet.. will be DC~4

i did the self-referral form online straight away! but it doesn't give you a confirmation screen, so a bit annoying, and no confirmation email. Better than GP referral, which i did first time - 2 weeks to get a GP appt, then 3 for the hospital to actually call me for a booking-in appt!

i am going to have to cancel my cervical smear - yes? i would have thought so.

on date speculation - LMP was 06/09, but i'm not sure if that was an implant bleed or not....though i was having 3-week cycles...

i had already started drinking less, even before POASing...but i am not giving up tea. not until the sickness really hits.

happy to see you starlight -

now skips off to read thread

Hi all Dionysia my DS1 was born in Germany but right at the beginning of the pg they did a smeat test, quite routine over there, not sure what they do in the UK though, but it shouldn't harm the baby. Goldrill so sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you.
I am going to find out the gender of my LO, I did the first time and I liked it so that I could plan his clothes and buy all matching stuff for his nursery. So I would like to know again, I am a bit of a control freak and I like to be able to sort everything out in advance, get every option covered, so finding out the sex of the baby is quite natural to me. But I do understand those that do not want to know, my choice is just what is right for DH and me.
Hope everyone is feeling well xx

good luck for next time godrill

i'll phone the clinic and see what they recommend re: smear. i suppose what would worry me is if it came back unreadable or 'changed, please re-test' and i spent the rest of pregnancy concerned...but unable to do anything about it.

molejazz what's the system there? is it based like Independent practice here? or how?

I am round at my parents, just told them our news they are thrilled and my dad even had a tear in his eye. Had lovely dinner and as a treat for pudding they did my favourite a lovely cheeseboard. On it a nice piece of Stilton, an oozing Brie and a large lump of goats cheese. I couldn't have any of it! Was so hard to resist. I did get the largest piece of apple Pie to make up for it though I could eat for England at the moment. I am also being pampered and not allowed to lift a finger-I could get used to this!

lovely Florin :)

Evening ladies

godrill So so sorry for your loss I hope your time comes again soon. Take care of yourself at this time x

I just skimmed through and saw a few of you were asking about hot baths and smears. I think hot baths are not recommended as they take the blood flow to the skin and away from the uterus (or something like that). Warm baths are ok though.

I have had both a smear and a coloscopy whilst pregnant. I don't know if this is routine or if they just wanted to continue monitoring me at regular intervals. I have the all clear now so am back to 3 yearly smears. Not sure when my next one is due. I remember asking at the time and them saying it wasn't harmful to baby though

Thanks for all the kind words about my sil. She is slowly recovering and I'm keeping in touch and supporting her as much as I can. I am still devastated foe her but am feeling less depressed in myself. I said to
Dh before I got pregnant that as this would be our last I was going to try and savour the pregnancy. So that is what I'm trying to do, I'm mindful of just how lucky I am and am cherishing each day that goes by. I'm concentrating on the little life inside I am also praying every day that once sil heals she falls pregnant quickly and that they have a healthy baby, they deserve it so much.

More nausea today and just can't decide what to eat half the time, so annoying! I had a happy meal then some yogurt for tea
