HumptyDumptyBumpty · 16/05/2013 20:08

MrsG so sorry. Be kind to yourself.

sultana sounds like tentatively good news - hope so!

Specific thank you! I am shit with names anyway, but preg brain is making it a hundred times worse - so forgetful!

Sultanajo · 16/05/2013 20:10

Thanks very much Humpty and Gemma. Toes firmly crossed! X

LittlePeaPod · 16/05/2013 20:10

thanks eveyone. Gemma I have not eaten much today so will try taking some nibbles in tomorrow. See if that helps but gone off most food today.

Sultanajo. Yes it started at my desk. Had it all afternoon and cleared when I left work. Really strange feeling.

Are u drinking enough Pea? I think I am linking mine to lack of fluids as really struggling with that. It can apparently be linked to dehydration....x

sarahleanne · 16/05/2013 20:12

Aww I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling a tad guilty.
A close friend of mine miscarried and the next month got pregnant and that one stuck :) it must be so hard to deal with, I honestly do feel for ladies when it happens or u r worried that it may be happening but got to try and stay positive I think :)
TMI my lady bumps r bloody killing me, husband is totally band from touching them they're so sore they're tingling :( and not in a good way.
Good news is I did another digital and I've gone from 2-3 weeks to 3+ weeks so that's good I guess.

Sultanajo · 16/05/2013 20:14

That's positive Sarah! My lady bumps are sore too. DH went to hug me when I got in and it made me wince! Blush

sarahleanne · 16/05/2013 20:16

Lol sultanajo :) I'm glad I'm not the only one!! I literally feel like I've been breast feeding already, my nipples r that sore. Lol sorry for tmi ladies!!

extracrunchy · 16/05/2013 20:19

Me too and DS keeps climbing all over me and squishing them. Youch.

Sultanajo · 16/05/2013 20:20

Lol Sarah I find it funny they start to get so sore and big so soon....Grin

Sultanajo · 16/05/2013 20:21

Youch indeed Extra! Bless your DS!

sarahleanne · 16/05/2013 20:26

Yes so it's not me imagining it, they r getting bigger? Haha. Oh hell my previous post just reminded me of breast feeding, the joys haha. Well I am glad my dh is not the only one band from boobies lol.

LittlePeaPod · 16/05/2013 20:42

Sultanajo only had 500ml bottle today. So just downed another plus trying to drink another. Will try anything.. Wink. Great to hear you sending positive by the way......

So sorry mrsg Flowers
sultana glad u found out what was happening and got to see a fluttering hbl

Hope everyone else is ok.

Just came back from telling the inlaws. Dh chickened it again (kind of)
Were waiting ages for him to say and gave him that look of annoyance and he mouthed for me to do it.
I got us onto the subject of January as his parents are both Jan babies and dh said 'guess what were getting in january' and i said 'a baby'
His mum was like a baby? Oh are u expecting? And then the scream came.
I reminded her that we are still v early and there is a lot that can happen and we might not get a scan until 14 weeks, so they are to tell no one and we will keep them posted. She kinda gets the whole thing as shes had 2 kids herself and she is a medical secretary.
Now to figure out how to tell the boss tomorrow without the whole office noticing!

LittlePeaPod · 16/05/2013 20:49

Congratulations Frizz. Brilliant response from your in laws.

That sounds like me Pea. Only managing around 2 pints a day which is rubbish. Must do better! Well done for downing some more just now!

Sultanajo · 16/05/2013 20:54

Frizz love the "then came the scream"! Brilliant! Good luck with the boss tomorrow - hope u can find a discreet way...x

sarahleanne · 16/05/2013 21:07

I told my boss today and she was really understanding. GL to everyone telling their boss soon , I'm assuming GL means good luck or am I making my own abbreviations here lol, I'm only young ud think I'd be more up to date ha

donttrythisathome · 16/05/2013 21:37

Hello everyone. I'm sorry about all the worries.
I've joined the worriers now as noticed brown spotting tonight. This is how my 2mcs started off. I had a scan last Friday at 6 weeks but they couldn't see the fetal pole, which was normal apparently. I have another scan next Monday, but I might try to see if I can get one tomorrow. Still hoping it is nothing, but past experience says different.

Sultanajo · 16/05/2013 21:46

Donttry so sorry you have been thru two mcs and they both started in a similar way to what you are experiencing now. Will keep everything crossed its third time lucky for u! Really hope u get a scan tomorrow xxx

CrabAppleTree · 16/05/2013 22:08

Hello everyone
I have just had to start my own thread here as have mates coming over to morrow and the house is a pit
Felt grim today - and had very unusually bad night with DC1 and 2 - find the tiredness and empty tummy is what is making me vom so was puking at 4am.

chocoloulou33 · 16/05/2013 23:14

Hey ladies very sorry to see your bad news mrsG xxx
To anyone else who's spotting hope ur all bearing up ok & its stops soon!! Mine seems to have stopped (touchwood) atm. Remember we have another thread running for those cramping/spotting etc & want to chat about it a bit more then come over & have a rant!
Am feeling v emotional 2nite, was just saying on other thread too. One of my very good oldest friends has just found out her son has cancer. He's only 7. My hearts breaking for them & what they've got to go thru now. Sorry I know its off subject its just a massive thing that has upset me. Think I'm gonna get some sleep now. Night all x

MissMedusa · 17/05/2013 06:59

I'm very sorry about your news mrsg

fryingpantoface · 17/05/2013 07:28

I was wondering how far along I was, I thought 5 weeks on Saturday, but I bled on 13 and 20th. So today I took a clearblue which said 2+3. So I'm gonna go with lmp on 13th.
Means I'm due 18 Jan. Which is nice to know

SpecificDreamRabbit · 17/05/2013 08:10

Very sorry to hear your news, mrsg. Flowers

Am registering with my new gp surgery today, so should be able to get an appointment soon. Excited dot com!

I hope this exhaustion doesn't last the whole pregnancy... I feel tired to my very bones!
