Wow you have had a rough time peacemaker poor you. I probably dont have much of a case to move hosp really. They give you a 20 week anomoly scan at southampton but not at portsmouth, i will have the baby at home so dont need to go in to hosp for that, just a couple of appt with the consultant as i had a section with the twins. I may ask when i see my midwife at 12 weeks. Thankyou

Nicola63 · 05/10/2006 14:32

I am sorry to have to report back on a very sad note. The scan showed very little growth and no heartbeat. I am having an ERPC tomorrow morning. DH and I will have to give some serious thought about everything once we have got over this bit, three miscarriages is probably enough for me, I don't think I can necessarily go through this again.

Thank you everyone, so very much, for your kind words and wishes. I wish every one of you all the best in your pregnancies and lots of happiness for the future.

Nicola

Im sure we are all thinking of poor nicola this morning. It doeas make me think what the hell have i been moaning about. I hope she is ok and they do decide to try again especially as she should get some investigation this time

Am off to hoover my absolute state of a house, have taken all the winter clothes out of the kids drawers today and unpacked the winter stuff. Just cant bring myself to put my flipflops away though, have put all my clothes away and dug out the maternity stuff. It is too big now but none of my other stuff fits! All my jeans are undone...Hey ho the fat clothes will fit soon enough. Hope everyone is ok

largeginandtonic · 06/10/2006 10:35

Doh summer clothes out winter clothes in! Pfg brain....

largeginandtonic · 06/10/2006 10:35

prg brain...i'll get my coat...

peacemakerukuk · 06/10/2006 10:47

I'm the same largeginandtonic, normal clothes, apart from the odd skirt are really tight and no way can I get into my trousers. Have ordered 2 pairs of maternity trousers from M&S online, I just hope they don't look too much like maternity trousers as no one at work knows yet. Its a daily nightmare trying to find something to fit

SKYTVMOSTHAUNTEDADDICT · 06/10/2006 11:03

I only work 2 days and have 2 stretchy skirts and was already a size 18/20 so own lots of baggy shirts etc. I feel huge though and other than feeling extremely tired and only fancying certain things to eat feel ok. I feel so much different to last time I am even getting my hopes up a bit.

Hope everyone else is ok and I am feeling for Nichola

mummymelling · 06/10/2006 11:07

mornin ladies...im living in my very lush jersey stretch bootleg legging trouser thi ngys 15.00 from m&s..sooo comfy and i think they will see quite far thro the bump.Im chilling a bit about the pregnancy now the niggly pains have stopped,thing they must have been stretching utero pains,really vomited this morning with almost no warning...scared DH he now has total respect for me pmsl.thinking of Nicola and hope you at least got some sleep last night xx

i love the jersy slouchy trousers but i just know if i order some they will be too long, am only 5'4 if stand on tiptoes!
Love the stuff in seraphine so want all of it...

MKG · 06/10/2006 14:39

I'm happy and pissed at the same time.

I'm pissed because I went through my maternity clothes yesterday, and since ds was an august baby all my clothes for when I was bigger were tanks and shorts. I have nothing for the chilly months. So as I can use the same pants, I have to buy all new shirts. Well I didn't pop with ds until months six so maybe just maybe it will happen again, I doubt it though. I'm starting to feel a little bloated already.

I'm happy for two reasons. 1. I got my new insurance card yesterday which means that I can get my scans and bloodwork and not have to pay. Whew! 2. I dreamt about the baby last night. Again it was a dream about a little girl. And she looked just like my ds. (I don't want to brag but ds is a cutie pie. You know how some babies look like girls and others look like boys. Well my boy looked like a girl) So i am very excited. In my dream it was a wonderful birth (I've been worrying about that lately) So now I really feel like I can go on with a fairly low-worry pregnancy. Except for having to buy new maternity shirts.

sheepgomeep · 06/10/2006 17:23

i'm sheepgomeep

I posted early on in the other may thread but not been around for a while due to not being well.

I'm back my edd is 8th may but this may be moved froward as the midwife managed to detect a heartbeat yesterday on her sonicaid thingy and found it easily so she has said I might be a couple of weeks further on so I might be in the April club yet!!

I'm 29, my partner is 25 and this will be my third.

been feeling ill and very tired and very down, lots of other issues going on at the moment,

congrats to all of you.

my thoughts are with you nicola

mummymelling · 06/10/2006 17:30

LG&T the jersey tros in M&S come in various length im only5ft2" and the short arse length are perfect for me with trainer etc on , so im sure the medium would be a bang on length for you if you are a bit taller x

Thanks for the sympathy and good wishes. Mummymelling, I already had every possible investigation after the second miscarriage and nothing very definitive was found, other than a slight thyroid problem, which is now treated. I have also been on heparin and aspirin during this pregnancy. Nothing helped. The only investigation that is being done this time is chromosomal analysis of the embryo, and if this shows an abnormality then it may be worth trying again, possible with IVF and preimplantation chromosomal screening. Otherwise I probably won't, as there will obviously then be something unidenfiable wrong with me, that causes a pregnancy to fail at this stage every time and which we do not seem to be able to influence. And I don't want to go through this again if that is the case.

Once again, good luck everyone and all the best.

pebblemum · 07/10/2006 18:53

Hello everyone. Im sorry to hear some of you are still suffering with the sickness. And im very sorry to hear your news Nicola. My sister had 4 unexplained miscarriages but went on to have the healthy little girl she had longed for. It was horrible watching her go through it and several times she was going to give up. My neice was her last chance as she felt she couldnt go through the pain any more, luckily it worked out in the end but it seemed like a long painful journey to get there. Good luck in whatever you decide

JonahB · 07/10/2006 18:54

Nicola, I?m so sorry to hear your sad news. Lots of big hugs to you and yours?.

Everything okay here, same as the rest of you. Gently panicking that everything?s okay, whilst at the same time complaining about the tiredness/general nausea. Oh and eating for Europe. I need to eat approx every 1-2 hours to stop myself feeling sick. I?m going to be the size of a balloon soon.

I?m very interested in these M&S trousers that also fit midgets like me, but I can?t find them on the internet. Can one of you clever IT-literate people post a link?

MKG ? congrats on the insurance coming through, that must be a relief. Re the clothes, in order to save some of the expense, do you and your friends share maternity clothes? As all my friends are at the same stage as me, we just pass expanding bagfuls of clothes back and forth between us all, each person adding a couple of new bits each time to the collection, so we don?t feel like total scumbags. Saves us a fortune.

pebblemum · 07/10/2006 19:12

My nausea seems to have eased a lot at the moment. I had a great week away at Centre Parcs and it seems to have doen me a world of good. I think the fact that on arrival we were given an upgrade from the fairly basic 4bed comfort plus villa we had paid for to their top of the range 4bed excluisive villa complete with ensuites and plasma tvs in every bedroom plus a hot tub, sauna and steam room may have helped too. It was pure luxury. No one wanted to come home yesterday not even ds2 (3yrs) who was willing to trade in all his toys and friends for the chance to live there permanently. He keeps asking when we are going back to our 'new home'.
On wednesday i had a 3hr spa session with my SIL. Ive never done one before but i can highly recommend it. I have never felt so relaxed or refreshed. Im already planning on booking one for after this baby is born The on Thursday i went on a slow pony trek with ds1. Hes been on about going horse riding for ages so i finally gave in and took him. He loved it, he was given a nice little pony to ride while i was given a 'giant'. Im only 5ft 2in so you can imagine the fun i had trying to dismount, i couldnt find the ground!! It was great fun though and even though it was chucking it down it didnt ruin it. The annoying thing was that that was the only time it rained for the whole week but never mind we still had a laugh.

While i was away i had a call from my midwife arranging to visit me on Tuesday. That will be fun. I will have the workman in as well!! At least it will feel as though i really am pregnant instead of feeling like a fraud. It still seems very unreal at the moment.

MKG · 08/10/2006 03:34

Jonah, it was a good idea, but unfortunately the only person I can borrow from is my sister. She and I can wear the pant size. The problem is in the bust area. I've always been bigger than she and is and she wears a size smaller. With pregnant boobs forget about it, I'll look at a porn star. As far as pants go. I can't borrow from anyone. I have a huge circle of new moms around me, but I am 6" and they are all close to 5". So they're pants are going to be shorts on me. What I'm trying to do now is buy some of last springs clothes that are on sale now.

I don't worry about the shopping though. For me, it's the best part of being pregnant.
