hi KM welcome to the thread and congrates on becoming a grandma.

Also hoping everyone has good news too.

Feeling fab today as have just done all the things that have been bugging me the past few days as I didnt dare lift a finger so now grass is cut and garden tidied plus kitchen clean and washing all in etc. I do hate it being messy so can get a bit obsessive.

magnolia1 · 29/05/2006 17:54

MoM and Mitch, my thoughts are with you both xx

Nemo great news Smile

Well ladies today I feel like SHIT Sad

I am so tired that when I wake up all I want to do is go back to bed and today I have felt so tearful and panicky about things again.
Boobs stopped hurting last night but are hurting again now.

I burnt the dinner and dh is working late Sad

My back hurts and I can't keep up with the housework. Its half term and I am going to kill them all!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blimey all this and I'm having another one Grin

Feel better now though lol

MerlinsBeard · 29/05/2006 19:18

Glad things were ok Nemo, was thinking of you today.

Rung the hosp, ended up ringing delivery suite as its bank holiday and no one bloody answering [anger], she gave me the number for epu which i will ring tomo but said that unless it gets worse then there is not much else can be done at mo. She said that if it does get worse to go to A & E, sooooo still in limbo til 2mo.

Thank you for your thoughts

Mitch thing of you, when is your scan?

Magnolia...

"My back hurts and I can't keep up with the housework. Its half term and I am going to kill them all!!!!!!!!!!!"

I swear that we are twins and you can read my mindGrin

I actually feeling Ok today, sickness still a tiny niggle were I can't face certain stuff but feeling alright otherwise.
Naturally for us in the Due in jan thread this has worried me....why aren't I feeling crap anymore, where has it gone??? etc etc etc
I do remember the sickness going by 9 weeks with ds1 so at almost 8 weeks I'm hoping it's the same thing.
Weird that I can remember sickness from 7 yrs ago but not the other 2 more recent one. Might have to search the ante natal sept 2003 thread to find out when it stopped for ds3....

anyway, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for everyone who needs it, and holding a cyber bucket out for the rest of you to be sick inGrin

Off to find that old thread....

MoM my scan is tomorrow morning at 9.40, but short of a bit of a miracle, I'm not holding out much hope as I've been bleeding continuously since Friday PM. But until I'm told for certain, there's always a little bit of hope. This would be my first mc and I'm finding that even at this early stage it's more of an emotional experience than I had ever imagined it would be.

MerlinsBeard · 29/05/2006 20:25

mitchmatch, thtas how i am finding the whole thing...emotional. Like a rollercoaster. Hoping and praying lots. Hope everything goes ok at your scan tomorrow xx

LadyTophamOfHattingford · 29/05/2006 22:19

Owww...really sharp pains tonight.
Like little jabs in the belly.....

GFS, another thing to worry about, should I drag the 3 ds's to the Gp's and EPU tomorrow??

Christ almighty, it'll be a a form of torture for me....

trinityrhino · 30/05/2006 07:39

my boobs are sore, I feel sick, I'm starving, I've peed about 7 million times in the night, I couldn't sleep last night even though I was exhausted..................oh the joys of growing a little person Grin
hope everyone else is managing
hugs to all Grin

indignatio · 30/05/2006 07:45

For the last 24 hours I've been fretting as I seem to have lost all my symptoms - dh keeps checking (in the interests of science) the size of my boobs and assures me they are still larger - but they don't hurt - no sickness - fortunately no bleeding - Oh I do hope the MW gets back to me today to say that she has talked the dragon at the hospital around and I can have the dating scan she suggested
Hope others are feeling more positive today

MerlinsBeard · 30/05/2006 09:26

LTH, How are you today?

I really hope one of us on this thread gets to have a trouble free pregnancy.

Quick update on me...still bleeding lightly so rung epu this morning, they are rooting out my bloods from booking in to see exactly how far gone i am (bit of confusion as i don't know my dates)then will ring back to see what they can offer(internal/external scan) There is nothing free today anyway so am yet again stuck in limbo land. Just want to know whether its bad news or not. Have accepted the fact that if it is then there is nothing that can be done anyway but i just want to know.

Nemo1977 · 30/05/2006 10:04

mom hugs to you hun hope they can book you in for scan tommorow.

Mitchmatch know you will be getting scanned now hope all is ok

not a lot going on here today all back to normal. DD was awake tons last night as she isnt well which was fun!

MerlinsBeard · 30/05/2006 10:06

Nemo, if u don't mind me asking, r u still bleeding?

trinityrhino · 30/05/2006 10:07

morning all, had my doc app this morning

was reall excited............should have realised that I shouldn't have been.

he wanted me to wait at least a couple of weeks till I have a dating scan even though I think my last period was in march.

anyway he also said to go and make a booking app in with the midwifes at the front desk.
Whe I did that the lovely receptionist said there ws no booking in apps for 2 and a half weeks ....ugh
but she was realy nice and said "why don't you pop over to the clinic and see them"

he he he he so I did and I have a dting scan NEXT TUESDAY and they are gonna do the booking in before that YIPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, just waiting for them to ring me
They are really wonderful and totally understand how important it is to me to get dated asap.

Woke up this morning feeling sick as a dog and haven't stopped eating since Grin looks like I'm gonna be eating constantly from now on lol Grin
Hope everone is alright, hugs to anyone that is feeling worried xxx

laughalot · 30/05/2006 10:17

Hi ladies what a bloody thread this is we are all so paranoid this thread beats the big brother house any day. Well im still feeling sick I feel better when I eat, to say I had my scan a week ago im still paranoid something might happen to prawn Sad, do hey say that if you see a heartbeat the chances of mc are reduced ? Loubie I could see prawns heartbeat and I was only 6 weeks. Good luck to everyone today who has appointments.

MitchMatch · 30/05/2006 13:24

Well I had my scan this morning and not surprisingly was told that there was nothing there. Even though I had all long weekend to get used to the idea, it still came as a bit of a thud. At least due to the amount of bleeding and my body seeming to take care of things on its own accord, I don't have to have a D&C (thank god for small mercies). Too early in the preg to know why and we've been told to just get on with things, very down to earth scanning person which I liked. They've also given me the direct number for the unit and told me that when I get pregnant again, I can call to come in for an early scan from 6weeks on to ease my worries about another mc. I nearly passed out from the exceedingly good NHS customer care.

I couldn't wait to get home to give DS (19mths) a big hug, and for DH and myself, it's back to the baby making drawing board.

I want to send my best wishes to you all as you begin this amazing and very individual journey and look forward to speaking to you on other threads.

Take care,
Michelle

skerriesmum · 30/05/2006 13:31

Oh Mitch I'm so sorry Sad

MerlinsBeard · 30/05/2006 13:32

Mitch, I am so sorry to hear that ((((hugs))) for you xxx

Loubie37 · 30/05/2006 13:33

Oh Mitchmatch I'm so sorry to hear your news, I really was hoping everything would be OK for all of us who've had bleeding.

I feel guilty now for reporting that I had my scan too and everything is OK - we saw the heartbeat too which was such a relief.

I really do hope you get a BFP again very soon and that they look after you like they've promised.

Take care, big hugs

Loubie xx

Loubie37 · 30/05/2006 13:34

laughalot - I was told today that once the heartbeat has been detected there's an 8 in 10 chance that everything will be fine. It says in my Boots baby book though that the odds are 95%. Either way is very reassurring!

Loubie xx

neolara · 30/05/2006 13:53

Mitchmatch, so sorry to hear your news. I've lost two pregnacies so I know what a horrible time this must be for you. Having one miscarriage gives you pretty much the same odds of success in a future pregnancy as someone who has not miscarried. Take care of yourself over the next few weeks - it'll probably be a bit of an up and down ride. Best of luck with TTC again (if that's what you choose to do). And there is no reason to wait if you don't want to - they only say wait for a month to make it easier to date the next pregnancy.

trinityrhino · 30/05/2006 14:24

mitchmatch, so sorry to hear your sad news
HUGS for your family
