August 2014. What a Christmas present!

[Choccywoccydodah]

Thread number 2 ladies.

It's a perfect Christmas present for me!

So sorry to hear bad news.
Good luck with any scans coming up.
I cannot wait for Friday, this week is dragging! The perfect moment for two weeks off.

Back from my scan and all OK. I'm measuring 6+5 which is exactly what I would have guessed and we saw a heartbeat of 143 bpm which seems about right as well. The dr wants to rescan in 2 weeks because I don't know my dates - no arguments from me that on that one!

So holly can you please change my due date to 7th August? Thanks!

So sorry to hear everyone's sad news today. I thought getting pregnant was the difficult bit, but it's nothing compared to this bit. At only 4 + 2, I'm starting to realise how early this is and wish that I'd tested a lot later. The worry is awful and I didn't realise how common problems were.
Best wishes to all

Glad your scan was all okay Shak :)

I know! It would almost be nice to realise at 10 weeks or something and have a scan after a fortnight. Rather than the endless waiting and worrying. Although I am feeling much calmer second time round. I remember being very stressed last pregnancy.

I'm sorry Bronya :-( I hope your worry is unfounded.

Hi to Normal too. :-)

bronya
Maybe the allergic reaction also irritated the cervix? That can cause bleeding. Can you not take a half day sick leave to get to the EPU?
Hope all is OK!

Bronya. Keeping everything crossed for you. As everyone has said to me (I'm in the same situation) it doesn't always mean bad news but it is hard ti remember that. Let us know how you are xx

I'm with you sillymeagain on assuming the worst though. To hope would just be too much. So I've researched what happens if you miscarry at 8 weeks, we've talked about when we'd try again, and I'm resigned to it now. If it were to be that baby was fine it would be amazing, but I can't go on hoping and waiting. It's best to think it's over. Then the only news can be what you expected, or better than that!

Shakshuka I didn't think of that. I didn't think a cervix could get irritated! I'll phone the midwife in the morning anyway and see what she says.

lucy I'm in Australia ATM so the heat is getting to me, being from uk it's bad enough at the best of times but now I'm pregnant it's reached a whole other level haha
fromage isn't it funny how food/drink can give the game away?! I was at a Christmas party last week and it was torture- lots of smoked salmon and prawns! :(

silly and pina I'm also the same- planning names/nursery etc then terrified the chicken in the takeaway I just ate might not be cooked properly! It's quite hard not being in my home country too.
rose I think il find out I've got no willpower lol already told family- I'm 6 weeks. I'd like a water birth if possible.

choccy and silly thinking of you x
holly thank you for adding me to the list- I'm finding it hard to get a convo going ATM (feeling a little left out) due to the time difference I think!
sharkey I'm 6 weeks and we've told family- I was too excited not too x

bronya you poor thing :( thinking of you x
normal welcome-how exciting!
funky hope all goes well in the future for you x

I anyone else still taking pregnancy tests and temping? It's nearly a week since my first positive and I'm still taking one every morning, and my temperature every day, just for the reassurance... I really wish I could go to sleep and wake up in about May...

I need to jump off here too now.

Miscarried yesterday, lots of heavy bleeding and really bad cramps that are still ongoing.

Gutted.

Best of luck to everyone on here, hope you all have healthy happy pregnancies. x

Oh Morgan, I'm so so sorry, I wish you a happy and healthy next pregnancy x x x

Can I join too please? I found out 2 weeks ago that I'm pregnant with surprise baby number 4. I'm not sure how many weeks I am but I'll be due either late July or early august. This will be my 4th summer baby as ds was born in July and both dds were born on August! As ds so elegantly said when we told him Christmas must be mating season in our house x

Anyone else suffering with their bowel movements??

morgan, I'm so sorry, really wishing you so much good luck and a healthy pregnancy very soon.
bronya, sillyme, keeping everything crossed xxxxx

Missvaughn - I'm not too bad yet but I got quite badly constipated last pregnancy.

So sorry to those of you suffering worry and loss. There's some very good support available on the miscarriage thread. It helped me massively after my own losses:

So sorry funky and Morgan xxx

bronya, sillyme - hoping you're fears don't come true.

yummymummy - sorry you're feeling a little left out, this thread seems to move on lots in the morning (UK time) so I think possibly your posts get lost in the busyness! What are you doing in OZ at the moment?

I had my scan yesterday and I can't say its reassured me much. She said I looked early 6 weeks but couldn't see anything really - a possible fetal pole but said it was too tiny to be sure, so I'm booked to go back again on new years eve. i was really hoping she'd say i was 7 weeks plus and could see a heartbeat, but now its the waiting game. What also worries me is that the few symptoms I did have seem to have gone in the last couple of days. I wish I hadn't have tested last week and then I'd be ignorant to all this worry and anxiety!!

Morgan, I'm so very sorry. I too wish you a healthy pregnancy in the near future. xx

Mssleepyhead, I'm trying not too now I've had 3+ on the digi. Almost impossible to stop though.

Lactulose is your pregnancy-friendly friend in relation to constipation. I'm flitting from constipation to feeling like I've got a slightly dodgy tummy.

Slept like a log last night, apart from when DD got us up. Still knackered though. :-/

hey fee, sorry your scan wasn't reassuring, have you worked out your dates? did you have a period before you conceived? sorry, couldn't remember and just see that you don't have an expected due date xx

Hey yummie, I feel that way sometimes, but I think it's how fast this tread moves. I hope your well!! Fee ignorance is sonetimes better. But one minute I'm worrying if I've got the slightest pain and next I'm worrying when it all goes away. There's no happy medium.
I'm a bit miffed as dr told me midwife wont see me till after 12 weeks I think because it's my second. But I feel worse this time. And I could do with earlier reassurance. I feel it's unfair.
