Just have to say this last two weeks was horrible... if you google not having a heartbeat at 6w3d which was the case it is pretty scary reading.... Blush

WestWingCJ · 26/03/2012 18:57

bottlered ditto what MrsB said. xx

ditsygem · 26/03/2012 19:01

urrm is it wrong to be slightly offended that someone thought I am pregnant? (I know I am but surely people can't tell yet!)
I was just standing on a packed tube commuting home and a seat came free and the women with her leg in plaster next to me offered it to me and said something about us both needing priority seats.
Oh my gosh, I am only 7+1. I'm fairly sure I'm not showing yet (just these ridiculously big boobs) but now I'm thinking I will have to throw this top away its obviously not flattering! haha, oh well I guess I should be thankful for being offered a seat at all in London!

Thechick · 26/03/2012 19:02

BottleRed you sound so together and optomstic, i hope i sound the same if the news is bad for me tomo. Do take care of yourself. Thank you and all the other ladies on this list for your kind words. It really means a lot.
Ive been getting just tiny amounts of spotting. Not sure what that means but need to stop myself from over thinking. Will know tomorrow. I'm starving need meat!!

EssexWelsh · 26/03/2012 19:03

Bottlered so sorry, genuinely upset, I have had my own scares but for you I am inspired by your positivity and hope it all turns around within the month Smile

Thechick · 26/03/2012 19:08

PetiteRaleuse are you saying they couldn't see a heartbeat at 6 weeks. Did they do an external scan or internal? This is a question for all actually. My doctor thought that they would be able to see it.

WaitingForMe · 26/03/2012 19:10

I know what you mean DesperateHousewife21. I'm not planning on having an early scan, booking in next week and ages to first scan as only six weeks today. Feels like forever until anything will happen.

Tiago · 26/03/2012 19:15

sooty my Chinese gender predictor was for a girl, so it may well be true!

So sorry bottlered I hope you start to feel better soon. It takes a while but it does get better.

foof as I understand it, if the mother is rhesus negative and the father is positive, there is a risk the baby is positive and this can cause an adverse reaction by the mother's immune system towards the baby. It can be solved these days, fortunately.

Tiago · 26/03/2012 19:15

Oh and I forgot - PR so happy for you. :)

tomatoplantproject · 26/03/2012 19:29

So sorry bottle - look after yourself and best wishes for a sticky bean.

Well done to those with little heartbeats - such a relief eh?

I'm sure people at work are getting suspicious - I just look fat and I'm normally careful about putting on weight and haven't been to the gym since getting a bfp Blush

applepieinthesky · 26/03/2012 19:33

bimbledorf I hope your dad is ok. When is his op?

Exactly the same thing happened to my dad 11 years ago now, he had two major heart attacks in a couple of days. He had an angioplasty and is on medication for life but he made it through it.

It took a long time to fully recover, I think it was about 6 months before he went back to work and even then he wasn't 100% but he's fine now and it doesn't have much effect day to day anymore.

It is always at the back of your mind that it could happen again at anytime but that makes me appreciate him even more and I cherish every moment I spend with him. Fingers crossed your dad is ok xx

Really sorry to hear your news bottle It's very admirable the way you are still being positive.

iheartpasties good luck with your scan tomorrow.

desperatehousewife I feel the same. I've still got 2 1/2 weeks to go before my booking appointment never mind a scan. Reading about all these scans makes me want to book a private one, I'm so tempted. I'm terrified of bad news though. Every day feels like an achievement at the moment so I may just wait it out.

YellowWellies · 26/03/2012 19:40

Bottle sorry to hear your news but your positive attitude is amazing and will no doubt help you to conceive xxxx thechick and iheartpasties lots of luck to you! And congrats to Tiagio.

Hope everyone else is doing ok. Detective Foof hope your feeling less ick. Gawd I could have done with a bottle of wine (am honestly not an alchy - I just want what I can't have!!!) when I turned on the TV this morning to hear of a 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Chile, where DH is working this week. Texted him at 3am their time, whoops, to check he was ok. Turns out it was quite a wobble but he's fine.... Have bought some Becks Blue fake beers to chill out with this evening. No more natural disasters please!!!

I too find pregnacare a nightmare to take, I gip like a lizard trying to take them - sodding horse size pills!!!!

YellowWellies · 26/03/2012 19:53

Oh lovely news PR jeez you must have been terrified! Am so glad you've had some good news x

WaftyCrank · 26/03/2012 19:55

Hello can I join in?

WaftyCrank [24] DC4 No idea on EDD as I had a MC 8 weeks ago.

Feeling very sick but the exhaustion is passing thankfully.

I have 2 DS's (4 & 1) and a DD (3) :)

MissTriangle · 26/03/2012 19:59

So sorry to hear you loss bottle. I had a MMC just before I conceived DD, so am sure the next time all will be well.
Thanks for adding me to the due date list. I think I may be due 26th Nov. I say think as my cycles have been all over the shop since having DD.
An feeling a bit anxious at the moment- my parents came over today and I got roped into helping my dad lift a super duper heavy table. I didn't want to tell them I was pregnant yet. But since then I have been getting slight pains in my right side by my groin (awful awful word!). Hoping it is just muscle pain and nothing else.
I must must come on here more often- has taken me an age to catch up. So will be frequenting more regular from now on! Smile

eversomuch · 26/03/2012 20:16

bottled So sorry about your loss, but very impressed with your positive attitude. Best of luck TTC again.

Good luck with your scans, thechick and pasties.

Regarding early scans and being able to see a heartbeat: with both of my pg, I had early scans around 5 weeks and neither time could the heartbeat be detected at that stage. The embryo is really, really tiny then. I'm now 7+4 and was able to see the heartbeat for the first time today (the embryo measured 13mm, btw). So although it can be hard not to worry, I think it's pretty normal to not see the heartbeat that early.

ditsygem I had the same experience several times, in fact with my first pg. I don't think I was really showing that much so early on, but I think I probably looked very needy. Luckily, I mostly travel off-peak these days, so getting a seat is rarely a problem. That said, I've already started carrying my Baby on Board badge with me in case I really need a seat at a busy time.

triangle It's probably just a pulled muscle. Maybe indulge in a nice warm bath tonight? It's frustrating to not know your EDD, isn't it? I'm still BFing DD1, who just turned one, and have only had one period since she was born, so dating was tricky and it took weeks before I had an official EDD.

TheDetective · 26/03/2012 20:17

I have a scan tomorrow. DP is able to come with me for this one.

I am assuming all will be well, given the puking!

I'll attempt to put a pic up if I get a nice one tomorrow.

PR Glad to see you got a HB today!

I am so tired. I think I may have to go to bed in a minute. I am holding out, at least til my 10 year old goes to bed. Otherwise, it would just be embarrassing Grin

Also, how long can a kid hold on to a tooth on a thread for? Ds's has been hanging on for dear life for days now. I am getting fed up having to make sure there is change in the house every night lol! Plus, he won't shut up about it! If I hear about that damn tooth one more time!!

PetiteRaleuse · 26/03/2012 20:17

Hi. Both scans were internal. I had very little hope after the first. Yes, he should have seen a hb at 6w3d. But now at 8w there is one. It's been a shitty two weeks, have had mc before so knew what to expect, and was premared for the worst today. For those of you who have had losses over the last couple weeks i am so sorry, but if it is any comfort a few years ago i mc'd at 12 weeks but was pregnant with my extremely healthy dd a couple of months later.

MissTriangle · 26/03/2012 20:33

Happy to hear your good news petiteraleuse! These early days are so nerve wracking. Especially for those who have unfortunately suffered a MC in the past. It is awful wishing time away, but I can't wait until I get to 12 weeks.

pipsicles · 26/03/2012 20:40

Evening ladies!

Was just 'catching up' and realised that I had still missed LOADS!!! Much sympathy and many hugs to thoses who need it :( I'm very impressed with the positive attitudes though!

Much happiness and hugs to all those with good news who'd started to think the worst too - V exciting to know it's all good!

I've been MIA for the last few days as we moved at the end of the week - I have realised that people are not joking when they say that moving is one of the most stressful things that you can do! And to be pregnant too...! We are living with friends now which, on day 4, is going okay. On my moving day, my head of department got in touch and said that the work I had set for my classes wasn't adequate, could I set some more - I was fuming! Surely a head of department can sort something out without wasting time emailing me about it!!! Then yesterday, the battery on our car (not yet 3yrs old) failed twice and we had to get the AA out to restart - the second time we were at 'home' in Kent (another Kentish lady here!), an hour away from home and DS ready for dinner :( They started us again and tried to arrange for a new battery, but then there were none in our area, so I had to be late for work this morning to have it fitted. Had a massive argument with DH last night (obviously I completely over reacted, but felt reasonable at the time Blush), then at work today, my year 11s, only weeks away from their exams, we're being absolute buggers and had me in floods of tears at lunchtime, feeling desperate and contemplating the idea of just walking out! :(

Finally, I've had chance to sit down and try to catch up with you lovely, normal ladies and am beginning to feel much better! :) Sorry for offloading on you all, but I hoped you'd understand?!

I was thinking that if we're all up for it, maybe we should update our stats with as much info as we'd like to provide about where we live? So many of us are trying to work out where we're all from that I thought this might be an easier way to do it? When pg with DS, the thread I was on (which I didn't feel was half as friendly as you lot btw!) we added loads of extra details to our stats, such as sex of baby (confirmed, Chinese or just guessing!) location and toilet roll measurements of bump as time progressed!

I'm feeling very bluergh tonight after eating a bizarre dinner that consisted of jacket potato (normal), beans (normal), bacon (normal), cheese (normal) and, wait for it...lime pickle - completely NOT normal! I really enjoyed it at first Hmm but then decided I really didn't like it anymore! Poor DH!

I'm desperate to keep up with you lot, but there are SO many of us now and we do like to chat! Grin I'll do my best!

PetiteRaleuse · 26/03/2012 20:44

So transvag scans. My doc does them til 12 weeks. Am used to them now but bloody hell the first time he waved that thing in my direction( had never heard of them before) i involuntarily winced, and dh nearly ran for it Grin

NervousAt20 · 26/03/2012 20:49

Evening, okay so kinda need some advice/opion but afraid there's TMI involved but figured I would go ahead and ask Blush so today I've had a fair bit of thick white discharge which I haven't had before and ask this is my first pregnancy I'm abit clueless (will seriously invest in a book) but just wondering if this is normal or not, if I should be worried? Thanks
