Hi all,
Hoping to snare a few of you who has just found out the great news like me, to share the journey and have a big moan about all the lovely effects pregnancy has on us!
It's no.2 for me!

I'm so sorry to hear people's bad news, hugs all round ( no matter how un mn-y) hope you all have good support and pampering. Take care guys.

I'm still uncomfortable but no blood. Mw was very positive and took bloods. She said as long as discomfort manageable with paracetamol and no blood I was ok. Should have scan date by 3rd June or to call her. Trying to stay calm, hmmm. Had fertility treatment and had two mature follicles the week I conceived so hoping I've only got one in there and not two but will gratefully receive any healthy baby(ies) that might arrive.

You'd think that after weekly scans on ovaries since jan someone would give me a blinking scan now!!

My thoughts are with all of you who've had sad news. hope you have the love and support you need.

Morning, how is everyone today? I had really bad diarrhoea this morning

Got booking in appointment this afternoon with the lovely midwife who looked after me thought my pregnancy with dd. I don't see community midwives it's all done at the hospital which is very expensive in petrol and parking!

Morning, trying to ignore the nausea as I type which is reassuring after lack of it yesterday. Had my blood appointment cancelled yesterday so must remember to rebook that as memory is totally shot at the mo!

Still hoping my scan date drops through the post this week and fx it's not too far away although I seem to have stopped panicking quite so much and just come to terms with what will be will be really.

Have fun, form filling today spotty at booking in and hope everyone else has a good day

Oh no kiwi I am so sorry

I remember this time on the last thread I was on on mn, last time I was pg. All the bad news and selfishly thinking I hope it's not me next then finding out it was . This thread is wonderful for support but heartbreaking all the same, I'm in tears at every bit of bad news, partly because I feel so sad for those that have lost and partly because of painful memories it brings back. I am toying with disappearing for a bit but then my heart keeps telling me to stay. I hope none of that sounds insensitive, I certainly don't mean it too.

Good news for me is that dh has suggested an early scan after pay day as mine won't be til 14+ weeks and he knows, as does he, how desperate we are to get 12 wk confirmation after what happened last time.

Also, slightly concerned that my nausea has decreased dramatically, am 9+ weeks, wasn't sick at all yesterday and so far feel fine (apart from sore boobs) could it be possibly I am lucky and got over it early? Or maybe a lull? I am praying it's not a bad sign.

Back to work tomorrow after 5 days off, boo. Have no idea how i'll keep on top of the sickness at work, its floored me the last couple of days.

Morning all - I'm off work today I just feel totally whacked. So many people have said to me how tired I look - charming but right!
I paid for an early scan yesterday - 8+5 didn't tell me a huge amount but lovely to see everything in the right place and the little heart beating. It was £97 with baby premier which I thought wasn't too bad the equivalent at my BMi hospital was £276 including dating!
Have a lovely day everyone xxx

Chloe, I think its very natural to feel like that. I am almost tired of worrying now and seem less anxious which is probably good! (though potentially get slapped cheek results today) - I could be wrong but I read the placenta begins to form around 9 or 10 weeks which is the start of the reduction in sickness?

I also heard that the pregnancy hormone peaks at eight weeks do sickness should get less from then on? I remember having days with dd when I didn't feel ill but a few days later it was back and I wished I'd embraced it!

so sorry to hear peoples bad news :( My scan is at 3.45 today and i am bricking it, but everything is crossed that my lovely tadpole is still clinging in there

huge love to everyone

Sorry, more bad news here. Spent the night in a&e in agony but am fine now (minus baby). What could have been a horrific experience actually felt like nature doing its job and I feel strangely calm about it all now. Good luck to the rest of you. Au revoir. xxxx

So sorry yikes take care of yourself xx

Oh kiwi and Yikes so sorry. Hope you are being taken good care of by all around you in RL.

chloe about your scan - I can't remember if you were someone who wanted the nuchal test done, but if you do, I gather it can only be done up to 13+6 so worth getting that done at your private scan.

I hope all those with scans and awaiting test results get good news.

So sorry to hear your bad news yikes big hug take care of yourself xxx

You sound very zen, Yikes, and it is admirable and I hope you feel better soon, and please accept a wee hug from me.

I'm going in next week for my booking in appointment. I can't work out if I'll be 8 or 9 weeks at that point. Anyway I am looking forward to hearing a heartbeat, and hoping like mad everything will be okay.

Having been all smug about how I really didn't need to buy ANYTHING with this baby's arrival, I've realised that my lovely, lovely pushchair (baby jogger citi mini, got second hand for a song and it's been GREAT) won't fit a buggyboard. And I think DS will want to sit for a bit longer. So now we're probably going to have to spend quite a bit on a tandem/sitnstand pushchair.

Currently looking at the Joovy Ultralight Caboose or the Phil & Teds vibe. DH doesn't think the Joovy has big enough wheels for the crappy pavements where we live, and he might be right. But the Phil and Teds ones are all $200 more expensive, which is a heck of a lot.

Oh so sorry Yikes, I know what you mean about nature's way, I think i'd feel like that but at the same time it's very very sad, look after yourself and best wishes for the future, hugs xxoxox

Still in limbo - turns out unbelievably (considering the amount of spit and snot and biscuits I consume) I am not immune to slapped cheek so off for a further 10 days, but no current evidence of anitbodies and infection - test again in 2 weeks. Collecting sick notes like pokemon. Only freaking out at thought of work

I really cant believe I'm not immune as I regularly turn a blind eye to a child icing a biscuit or making a cake/ pizza etc licking the spoon and fingers every other stir then I eat some of said cake/pizza/biscuit with gusto - up till pregnancy I figured may as well get everything going and give my immune system a good ole workout.

Stacey - I know you will be very worried, try to remember the statistics are very low for transmission to the baby if you are not immune and treatable if caught early which they will. I have all my fingers and toes and ears crossed for you and asked blueberry to do the same. My test results have been back after 9 days but they did cross ref with booking bloods, apparently I'd have needed another one inbetween if not so your test may be a while. Really hope all is ok at the scan, big un-mn hugs xox

Omg staring at the words 'joovy ultralight caboose' made me realise how little I know about prams. May have well said 'economic fiscal easing.'

Backward, Kiwi and Yikes sorry to hear your sad news and wish you all well for the future.

Friend Fingers crossed that everything goes well for you from now on.

9+2 today (I think) Still finding the sickness hard to cope with but the doctor has now given me some tablets to help and some salt drinks, which I am finding hard to drink.
Have my scan booked for the 30th.
DH is doing everything he can at the moment because I am pathetic moaning mess and I feel so guilty and sorry for him.

Hope everyone is well today.

Oh yikes ever so sorry. Awful news.

Makes me think twice about moaning how crap I feel. DD has given me her stinking cold. I'm 9 weeks today and my nausea is at an all-time high today, mixed with my terrible cough isn't the best combo.

Waiting for scan date through .. I'm more worried than ever after everyone's news.. I find myself getting excited when the postman has been..

I'm so happy to have found this post. I've only just joined - I'm about 7 weeks and due on CHRISTMAS DAY!!

Anyway, I jut wanted to say to you all and join the conversation :)

Really sorry to hear your news Backward, Kiwi and Yikes. I hope you are taking things easy and getting lots of love and attention from your loved ones.

Went to the doctors today and they've made met an appointment for next Wed at the EPU (first one they could give me) as I have had some spotting that seems to have got a bit more regular. It's a very worrying time, especially with all the sad news.

so so sorry Yikes. Big Hugs.

Had booking in appointment with the lovely midwife who was holding my hand when I had dd! Car park cost me over £4 exhausted now and got work tomorrow so early to bed for me tonight.

kiwi and yikes so sorry to hear your news. Take care of yourself, and wish you lots of luck for the future.

Hi sugarcube and congratulations!

Had a bit of a shock in John Lewis bra department. Things are definitely getting bigger (though only 6+3) so went in to find more comfortable bra. I tried one cup up but still too small so called the lady for help. She recommended non underwired so it doesn't restrict further expansion and is more comfy. I've gone from 30E to 32FF . I'm doing it up on tightest setting and then loosen as I need to. I just can't believe the difference. Heard a lady in the next changing room also only a few weeks pregnant with a similar change. Is this normal and how much bigger will they get?? DH quite amused by the whole thing....

gutted for you backwards, kiwi and yikes , sounds like you're all very calm and philosophical about the news. such a shock to say goodbye to you all so suddenly, and we were only just getting to know each other

I've been dipping in to this thread - EDD 18th Dec. So sorry to hear the news from backwards, kiwi and yikes.

I am 8 + 2 today, but just had pink discharge
