thread 2

I'm glad I was able to make a few people laugh

MummyPig where the hell where they all going - I'm hoping they're thinking of migrating already- I really would have happily taken up goose hunting this morning

Becca I do hope the spotting let's up soon x

Grey we're telling people as we're asked, a few close friends know about our miscarriage in May, so some have asked how we're getting on. We have some friends over this weekend for lunch and they're due in Feb, not quite sure if we'll tell them - probably as we're going away with them in November and us wives are having a spa day, so we'll need to have a chatabout what we can and cant do

I don't know where they were off to. They flew over my house and headed towards the river. I don't like going down there to feed the ducks because they all swarm round honking and then the swans join in and the little ducks don't get a look in. The children flee in fear and I'm not far behind them!

I've told 3 friends. One inadvertently after last nights Facebook cock up! Dh said yesterday he just wants to get it over with telling his parents now but I'd rather wait. They are having our children over night the night before our scan so we will probably tell them that day as we will have to pick them up early to get them to my friend. In laws are good away in their caravan otherwise they could have kept them for a few more hours.

I hate telling people, I feel like such a knob. I don't know how to even tell people. "Erm, so yeah, um, I'm pregnant."

We told parents and one friend each when got BFP - they are the ones who were most supportive when we had the miscarriage so wanted to share our happiness with them. Have told a few others since the scan but only when necessary - had to cancel on one friend twice due to morning sickness so told her as I don't want her thinking I'm just being flakey Was horrible having to un-tell people last time as we had told pretty much everyone following the positive 8 week scan, don't want to risk being in that situation again.

Mummypig I've tried to find ways to tell people rather than just "I'm pregnant" so I asked my mum to go pram shopping, and waited for the penny to drop, told my dad that we need to plan something quiet for my 30th (in April) rather than the traditional family piss-up, and just grinned when he asked me why, etc. Pretty much everyone knows we want another baby though so its not that much of a surprise really!

My DP announced it by us going to a family barbique and saying 'Christine's got something to tell you' lol!! Talk about putting me on the bloody spot! I have yet to tell my dad as am very worried he has always told me what i can and cant do even tries now im 20 he doesnt like oh despite us being together 3 years and i think he will go absolutely beserk. :(

I've told lots of people because I'm a blabbermouth I can't help worrying that I'm jinxing it by telling people.
Unfortunately my EA ex found out this morning when he came to collect the children and he saw my maternity exemption card on the table. I expect he will be issuing treats and doing all kinds of nasty things to punish me. I'd wanted to keep it from him till our family court proceedings over the children are concluded in two weeks. Damn!

Only 4 people know I'm pregnant and that is only due to the fact I had my scare at work and was sobbing in front of my 3 colleagues!
We're not telling anyone else (family, friends, etc) until after the 12w scan.

I'm back. After fifty minutes. There's only so much of 'Hazel's' wittering a pregnant woman can take.

I've told everyone I come across that I'm pregnant, but haven't announced it on facebook. Did that last year at 10 wks and mmc at 11. Rockchick, at what point did you lose your baby after the 8 wk scan?

Gawjus, are you the youngest mum-to-be on here?

Just catching up. So sorry to hear soured's news, really sad. Wishing you a speedy recovery and lots of luck next time soured. Your ordeal went on and on and you seemed to deal with it all amazingly xxx

Hello to comms, overlyemotional and justmuddling and any other new Martians I've forgotten!

overlyemotional we may well end up having our babies in the same place at the same time then! I'm due a few days after you but this is my 3rd so I'm HOPING it's not very late - my first was 12 days late though and 2nd was 8 days date so not holding my breath!!! Kings, in my expce, is a FANTASTIC place to give birth. Am really pleased I'll be there again for my third (and final!) time.

Mummypig that Facebook thing is exactly the sort of thing I'd do!!!

I too have been hit with the stupid stick. I drove through a red light yesterday, completely obliviously. Also can't be bothered to do anything. Really struggling to get up in the mornings, DH is having to get me tea and biscuits every morning to give me a boost! Sickness hasn't been too bad, creeps up on me occasionally though and yesterday I was suddenly sick in the kitchen bin. Gross.

DS (4) is only answering to the name "Grandmother" today. He doesn't call anyone this and I've no idea where it's come from. Odd boy.

Oh re: scan date Mine is on 28th Aug

Pram scan with heartbeat was 7+6, found out at 12 week scan baby had stopped developing around 8 weeks. Apparently very rare though, only 1% of miscarriages are missed, and having seen heartbeat at that stage its only 2% chance of any sort of miscarriage so statistically no one on here should experience the same, I've done it last time for us all :)

Just an update - been reading but not posting much.

Soured I am so sorry.

Pram I ditto what another poster said above, I started worrying about DD from when I learned I was pregnancy and it hasn't stopped yet! The focus just changes slightly and it's slightly quicker when you can pop into their bedroom to check they are still ok rather than having to have a scan.

Becca believe me you're not the only one who wants the sunshine to f off - this is week no 4 of being signed off work with sickness, my 2 year old DD is eating more than me and our house went on the market yesterday.

Plus we are supposed to be going on an extended in law camping weekend this weekend which also co-incides with lots of viewings booked to see our house. DD is very excited as it's with her cousins and I can't think of anything worse. DH has said that I can just sit in the sunshine with a sick bowl or nap in the tent and doesn't see anything unhelpful about that suggestion.

I keep telling myself that in 2 years we will have 2 lovely children who sleep through the night, play nicely together and a lovely new house and I am firmly putting my head in the sand about all the other possibilities!

we've told our families now which is a huge relief, had a lot of drama with my boyfriend's family over the past 6 months and we only started speaking to them again because I'm pregnant really but we'll see how it all goes!

i'm now at 0.5% risk after seeing hb yesterday so starting to breathe easier. i have a doppler but it doesnt seem to be catching anything yet but probably way too early anyway!

Idk pram i will be 21 when first bubba is born :)

Mines 20th aug! Seems so faaar away .. Theres only 0.5% risk after seeing hb grey?? I saw hb at 9+2, idk what percentage that is but hope its good lol! X

All my symptoms have gone though:( im 10 wk tmorrow

Just back from an early scan, it's so exciting to see the little heartbeat! But the little bean did make me worry as she couldn't see anything at first and had to use dildocam! I had no idea where I was so great to have some dates now, she thinks I'm 8.5 weeks so think that makes for a mid march date. She even gave us a picture even though there were signs everywhere saying not to ask for early pics, so that was a nice surprise. Just need to wait for my 12 week scan date now and kick off all the other bits.

About telling people, I told my manager as I was to so tired and couldn't function at work. DH let it slip at work so his manager also know. Plus Pils as we went to a big family thing last weekend and they are usually fairly drunken evenings. Thinking about telling my parents this weekend but not sure...

gawjus according to the sonographer at 9 weeks with a heartbeat it's 0.5% - buttt just looked at mc association and they say that's not until 10 weeks, i did see 0.5% on ncbi somewhere too

i wouldn't worry about that it seems that symptoms come and go for everyone and are different for everyone too!

Gawjus, just wait! Every time I have a wobble because I feel OK, symptoms soon come back with a vengeance and I wish I hadn't worried!

I hope they do! Altho ive read ppl mc with all symptoms too! Horrible waiting game ladies hope it goes well for all of us x

That's true. Sadly there is no set pattern, rhyme or reason to how or why MC happen. What happens, happens and there is nothing anyone can do to change it. bitter experience.
It is true that the risks decrease as time passes though. Just sit tight and try not to worry. x

Sorry to hear that :( I feel like ive waited forever altho 3 yrs isnt that long compared to some..

This left over vindaloo is sure making me feel better temporarily, going to make a crumble for later mm :D

Lovely news first :) I burst into tears as soon as I left epu, managed to hold it in speechless whilst watching baby Wriggle x

Afternoon All,

I am just back from my booking in appointment. I have met my midwife (scary hag who knows what she is talking about, ) I had been told to allocate an hour or so for the appointment but we were done in 25 minutes. She told me there was no point in me sitting there while she filled out paperwork for the other half an hour. I feel short changed!!

I was also under the impression my scan date would be given to me during booking in, but apparently not. I have to wait for another letter in the post.

Not sure how I feel about the whole appointment. Is it straightforward because she wasn?t worried and forsees a healthy pregnancy or has she missed something vital!!

Mimili where I live the booking appt gets you onto the system, so the scan appointment is only booked after that. My letter arrived about a week later. I wouldn't worry, if you have no concerns and no medical history they need to be aware of, then you will be fine. Half my appt was spent checking mumsnet on my phone sat quietly while she copied things between paperwork and computer!

Hello all ,

I've been a bit of a lurker and feel it's about time I outed myself!

Firstly this group seems lovely, very informative and supportive which is so useful for me, especially in the early days as don't have many people to talk to at the moment.

Secondly, sorry to anyone who has had sad news, have noticed a few comments and I am so sorry.

Finally, after only managing very small portions over the last few weeks I have just scoffed down half a box of 'extremely chocolatey chocolate cornflake mini bites'. Oh dear, I hope I won't regret this later...

I'm starving again! I had 2 weetabix for breakfast, Philadelphia sandwich with tomatoes and lettuce, small fairy cake and I've just had a plain cracker. The kids tea is cooking, pasta bake and in ravenous. I'm going to have to have some with them, I can't possibly wait till 8pm to eat with dh. I will obviously eat again then though! Plus, I really need some chocolate. I'm going to have to go to the co op, we conveniently need milk.
