July 2014!!!! Hop on board and join the fun!!!

[Spinningirl10]

I got my bfp this morning and calculator says due July 4th!!!

Wow, that seems ages away!!

Feeling quite scared....can't wait for this bus to fill up, can't party on my own!! xxx

Fingers crossed for you Choccy.

Anyone bone-achingly tired? My DH is being fab because I keep falling asleep at 6pm, he lets me sleep while he sorts out the DC's.

Choccy, so sorry to hear this. Sending you my most heartfelt best wishes.

Sorry posted too early...best wishes that everything is ok.

english maybe it's in special measures because of poor management and therefore needs more funding. Maybe you can find out about other mother's recent experiences there, that might be more telling.

Sorry for tmi but is anyone else suffering from diarrhoea? I'm meant to be drinking more water than usual to help with uterine irritation so this cannot be helping :(

I'm jealous Pearl...i'm have the opposite problem since BFP!!

I flip. I was constipated. but have diarrhoea since this morning.

urgh.

oh the joys of being pregnant!

I''ve been feeling crazy tired. But since ny sickness has ramped up this...the tiredness has eased a little. I no longer feel the need to hide in the work toilets just to close my eyes!

Choccy how are you today? X

Just on the constipation thing, last time i had it so bad i was advised to stop taking pregnacare, and just separate vitamins, the iron in them is apparently really high which causes it, so ive not even started pregnacare this time round!

hope everything is ok choccy!

Choccy hope things are ok, but I understand far too well how anxious a time it is. Rest up and don't give yourself a hard time, which I always do!

I am so sure that this isn't a keeper that I can't let any baby thoughts into my head at the moment, only "clump of cells" and "positive pregnancy test" are allowed to be there!

I have my Gynae appt for RMC on Thursday, which was booked before the BFP. As there's been no AF between MC and BFP I am a bit scared I'm in for a bollocking, and think they won't be able to do any investigations as I'm up the duff and taking baby aspirin. If this is the case and I MC again, I guess I'll end up at the back of the queue...

My nausea comes and goes at the moment, and any half hour without it has me worried. I also had backache and cramps for a couple of mornings when I woke up, but trying to reassure myself that this is normal for 4 weeks.

Like you Pearl I am (ahem) looser than normal, and going up to 3 times a day!

A full day of work to do, and I'm caught in the MN web... Better get on with something productive or my students are going to have to teach themselves on Monday!

choccy I'm sorry to hear you are having a difficult time. Please take care of yourself.

Epic fail this morning - so sick I couldn't make it into work and puked up my pom bear breakfast (ready salted ones and sausage rolls seem to be the only foods I can face for some reason!?)

Poor DH also spilt a glass of orange juice resulting in me almost ripping him a new one and about 10mins of crying afterwards at how nasty I was! Someone tell me any of this sounds remotely normal please?! I'm 6 weeks today

I've waded into this debate late but my booking in appointment isn't until I'm 9+4!

I really want an early scan but DH thinks it's a waste of money so I am still trying to persuade.

Urgh...is anyone else simply struggling to get through the day at work? 7+1 now and the constant nausea and exhaustion is making it impossible to work. Anyone have any tips? So many projects to finish at work before Christmas requiring constant phone calls, presentations and networking type events but just wishing the next 5 or so weeks away until I can relax at Christmas...

MGJoey try not to worry. I have never actually thrown up just feel sick constantly. Not long until scan...

Thanks Five - am counting the days! Know what you mean about work too...

Hi everyone, I think it's time for me to hop off.
I'm still bleeding, although it seems to be finally easing off. My cervix feels open and my mum gave me a bollocking for checking as it could make it worse if you don't know what you're doing.
I passed a teeny tiny clot about 2 hours ago. I'm booked in for a scan on Tuesday but I'll test again Sunday and Monday. However I've got it in my head that I've lost my baby. I know it's all cells at the moment etc but I was so excited and to me it was a very much longed for baby.
Assume this is what they call a chemical pregnancy. Do you knowing I'm meant to now wait before ttc again? Am eager to start again straight away.

I wish you all the very best with your pregnancies. Take care of those bubbas x

Choccy I'm so sorry.

I don't think I'll be far behind you...

There are conflicting opinions about how soon to get back in the saddle, but I'm not one to talk, being 4 weeks post MC and 4 weeks up the duff. I just got on with it. No time like the present etc. Plus, I just wanted to be pg again.

Seems a little foolhardy as I now think I'm going to MC this one - loss of nausea and some period cramping are triggering my alarm bells.

I think in hindsight some more time would have been useful emotionally.

Take care of yourself

So sorry, Choccy. FWIW I tried straight away after my mc (at 7 weeks). The first cycle was a bit bizarre, really short luteal phase and temps a bit all over the place and I didn't conceive. But second cycle (so first "proper" one) I got pregnant with my daughter. I just so desperately wanted to be pregnant again, it was a very powerful emotion.

Tanny sorry you're feeling worried. Hopefully this is just a head thing and you are fine. Early pregnancy is such a worry. When is your appt at the clinic?

So sorry to hear this choccy . Thinking of you

Thanks Gaga, tbh I'd rather be put to sleep for the first 12 weeks and wake up when this bit's done with. Do you think we could get a petition together?

My appt is next Thursday, but am a bit worried that my GP referred me to general gynae rather than RMC, so we'll see...

I agree that every little symptom (or lack of) gets me in a bit of a stew, but I can't remember what a "normal" pregnancy is like any more!

Have you read Lesley Regan's book, Tanny. I found it quite helpful, both in terms of reassuring me and diagnosing what could have been a possible cause. Obviously not the same as seeing a HCP but could be used alongside. It turned out that I had Anti-Thyoid antibodies which I already knew from a prior health issue and that it would help to take low dose aspirin. Might be worth a look if you haven't already. I like to be armed with information in any situation as well. www.amazon.co.uk/Avoiding-Miscarriage-Everything-Confident-Pregnancy/dp/0977493318

First trimester knock out drops would be awesome. If only someone would do my job and look after my children for 12 weeks

Thanks, have ordered! I feel the need to be a bit proactive, and I can't bare to get out the pregnancy books!

I do recommend Expecting Better for a pregnancy myth debunking book, treating us as thinking adults who can make informed choices rather than simpletons. I can't look at it at the moment it might have some jinxing effect but you can find it here www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1409142310/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

choccy I m so very sorry.

tanny hopefully everything will be ok for you, early pregnancy is very scary though, I m constantly analysing every single ache and pain.

choccy - so sorry. You were awesome on the November bus and your cheerleading and support has been awesome. I just hope that you can get as much support from here as you've given us in the past.

I totally get the tired thing by the way. I am exhausted, it's getting difficult to keep up with marking I'm hoping to get a lot done this weekend.

Hi team, mind if I join in? 5+5 today and we're absolutely thrilled! Slightly worried about some slight cramping and a couple of spots of blood but I have to say mumsnet has really helped me to worry less. Going for an early scan next week so hopefully good news will be forthcoming. turnwest I'm exactly the same - analysing every single pain! I think it's harder on my DH though as he's really anxious but doesn't want to jinx anything by asking!
