Thread 2 for all us lovely chatterboxes!

I'm in North London. You can tag me at the Whittington if that is easier Stats Goddess.

OMG the wind I've got tonight. I am actually embarrassed in front of DH. After 7 years of marriage and a child I didn't know that was possible.

Thank you everyone you're too kind.

Well... I'm not actually in cambridgeshire, I'm in Suffolk. Right near the border. Undesirable town; beginning with H.

Not sure if that's too encrypted or totally obvious!

Soured that's rough, thinking of you. Hope everything goes well at the EPU

Ooo Floaty, I think I know where you are I used to live (and still work) in a certain very horsey town also on the Suffolk/Cambs border - hence the name

Take things easy Soured.

Ah yes the horsey place :) I know where you mean. Haven't visited there for ages! My crappy H has terrible transport links to there, or anywhere for that matter!

Mortified that would be very funny if we knew each other, but didn't know we were pregnant in RL.

Soured I'm sorry you are having such a rough time. Thinking of you.

Hope everything is ok soured.

Just went to the loo and saw very light brown cm. I'm 4+6 today. Have done a quick google and responses say I shouldn't be worried and its normal, but its very disconcerting.

Totally obvious if you're local to the essex suffolk cambridge borders floaty

Morning all thanks for the locations - I have updated the map, stats to follow later today

MummyPig so sorry to hear about your friend, I lost my mum to cancer last year, but on the plus side Breast cancer is one they can tyoically deal with - I hope your friend pulls through.

Soured I'm so sorry to hear about your awful day, definitely get yourself down to the EPU to get it checked out.

Ahh im not bothered about being outed! I doubt there is anyone here I know anyway. I dont know many people RL!

Hope you are having a better day soured :)

Are nearby too then soured?

If you are where I think you are and you have a hill as it were then I'm about an hour away.

Soured How did it go at the EPU? Hope you're feeling a bit better, work stress is bad enough when you're not pg!

6+1 for me today. Still no symptoms, other than this leaden tiredness that makes my evenings go all fuzzy and blurry, no chance of functioning. Which is annoying because I have so many things to sort out!
But I actually managed to go to the gym last night, which is good (and actually surprised me).

floaty and Frankel - looks as if I'm a bit away from you guys (if you are where you think you are). I'm in a town on the other side of Cambridge. The one with the really high birth rate

Oh dear. I really am feeling terrible. I am chucking up everywhere and have terrible room spin. Almost fainted in the shower. I have room spin even in bed so I don't think it can be my blood pressure. It also driving some weird allergies. My nose is literally dripping and I'm covered in eczema which is a reaction to metals I think (zips studs in clothing) which I've never had before. My GP has advised Loratidine which is actually helping but I have been in bed for 2 whole days this week. I told DP I wanted to get rid of the baby yesterday and the trouble is I really mean it at the moment which is crazy as I have always wanted to have children. Now I feel terrible for feeling like that. Poor DP. He doesn't know what to think. Basically I feel like my life is over.
Sorry for the moan. I think what upsets me the most is that I know I won't be able to go through this again and I had never planned to have just one child.
Please tell me I'm not going mad.

Lady I don't think you are the first person to think like that! You sound in a very bad way my dear! have you considered your epu? They may have some more suggestions? You could always just ring for advice and see what they say.

Lady are you keeping any fluids down at all? If not, you need to go to your gp/epu with a urine sample in case your are dehydrated. They might want to rehydrate you via IV.
It could be the medication making you dizzy. I'm on cyclizine and it has reduced the sickness but made me very dizzy. Sea bands are helpings they're about ten pounds from the chemist.

I had a terrible time in my last pregnancy and swore I'd never do it again but here I am again. It's hard to see past the sickness when you feel like that, but I'm finding it easier to focus on what it's like getting a baby at the end.

If the meds aren't working, ask to change. I feel for you, it's very hard.

Also, if you do actually feel like you're going mad, that could be dehydration. When I was ketonic (when your body produces ketones due to extreme dehydration), I felt like I was going mad - I had crazy thoughts and things...it's hard to explain.

I agree about the meds! I was on Ranitidine for acid reflux and had the worst vertigo EVER!

Oh no Saggy really? I was planning on asking for that later on if necessary.I had terrible reflux in my last pregnancy, but never asked for anything for it (stupid).

I apologise for being that person who is always saying 'Oh yeah I had that' about my last pregnancy. I had everything! It was ridiculous.

Yep the Hill one unfortunately

JBrd I'm not sure where you mean?? Am I missing the clue in there?

Lady you sound like you're having such a rough time of it at the moment :(
Wishing you well and hope you feel better soon!

Hi guys, sorry to hear some of you are having such a tough time of it. I went to the gp this morn to tell them I was pg, when she asked me about my previous births and I had to list the 4 of them, she looked at me and said so did u actually plan all these pregnancies? Why weren't u on the pill and so u decided to keep this one then? She made me feel like something you would tread in on the street! Yes we planned 4 of the pregnancies and wanted 4 children, no this last one wasn't planned but I'm not getting rid of it! And yes they are all with the same father as we have been together 13 yrs just never felt the need to marry! Seriously ppl like that drive me mad!! So judgemental! To top it off my kids are really playing me up today and it's only the 2nd day of sch holiday. I would never admit it to anyone else but I am wondering if I'm doing the right thing.

Hope everyone has a better day today. I'm feeling kinda rubbish about things right now

Been reassuredish. If the bleeding soaks a pad I need to go right back but not a lot can be done and it could go on for a long time yet so try not to put myself any undue stress about that or work.

Sounds like I've done the right thing taking the time off.

Midwife appointment next week so hopefully should be able to hear a heartbeat.

Sorry so many of you are feeling so poorly. Hope it eases off soon for you.

Ice I was the one only wanting fruit and veg, BUT I also cannot eat chocolate, which is rubbish cause I had a really rubbish day and a bar of chocolate would have made everything better. But I won't complain too much.

JK10 I look after kids for my job and I am really not sure how I'm going to cope with the school hols, and I'm not suffering anything as bad as the rest of the lovely ladies on here. Sorry your GP wasn't very helpful, I hope that your day looks up.
