Wuthering - I hope you got some rest last night. If you didn't go last night try the epu or midwife this morning. I hope everything is ok x

Tits - thank you for setting up the group. I'll wait until after my scan if that's ok?

So 'morning' sickness ha! I feel sick all blooming day long even when I'm in bed at night. I am so tired and 'd'p thinks it's a competition of who is tireder and keeps yawning and saying how tired he is. Poor dd is getting so bored as I'm just not up to going anywhere. I'd forgotten how tired and sick I felt last time and now I remember.
My phone is also breaking :( it doesn't hold charge for more than a few minutes unless it's plugged in. I can't afford a new one yet and my upgrade isn't due until February argh! I need this one as it's accessible and reads text out to me whereas cheap ones don't. If I disappear until February (haha) that will be why.

Poor you Wuthering. I really hope it turns out to be a false alarm

Good morning everyone.

Is anyone still having the "wading through treacle" early pregnancy effect?

Normally on a Wednesday I drop DS3 off to the childminder then come home, crank the radio up and blitz the whole house in between sending emails and doing the work I do from home each week.

Today I've put the radio on and stuck a chicken casserole in the SlowCooker, that's it! I've not even opened up my laptop yet or entertained the idea of housework, I can't seem to kick my brain into gear.

Hopefully it doesn't last long.

I'm wearing maternity jeans today and I'm going to need a new bra, mine are getting to tight. I've already put on so much weight but that's due to the needing to eat hourly to stop bring sick.

I have my consultant appointment on Friday to begin my battle for a ELCS. I'm not betting on it being an easy task, she's rather fearsome my consultant.

Morning!
Thank you for your messages - but I am definitely out of the May club now.

Spoke to MW this morning and she said that as I have started bleeding (in addition to the total lack of symptoms) the EPU probably won't even need to scan me - but they will call to have a chat.

I am just relieved that it is a certainty now rather than not knowing either way and I am grateful that my body held off with this bleeding until after I had made my friends wedding cake last week

I feel strangely calm this morning - the last few weeks have been so stressful with sorting out mortgages, losing the house we were buying, finding out I was pregnant and then knowing I was miscarrying while carrying on as if life was normal - that now it is nearly all over I feel that I can refocus.

I wish all of you happy and healthy babies and for those of you who are on the bus for the first time I can assure you the sickness, constant worry, sleepless nights, cravings and everything else are all so worth it in the end - I have two amazing children aged 1 and 3 that have been proper cuddly this morning - although I've now sent them off to nursery and I am going to stay in bed all day eating chocolate and MNing.

Take care Wuthering

Wuthering I'm so sorry to hear this. You've had a really hard few weeks. Take care and enjoy plenty of cuddles with your little ones.

So sorry to hear that Wuthering.

Tits I hope your appointment goes well. What a shame if it is a battle. We are constantly told about 'birth' choices but this only seems to apply to people who feel they can do it all au naturel in a birthing pool (I am ALL for this but it's not for everyone!)

I'd like to think that I can put my case across in a calm but firm manner. It will certainly relieve a lot of my anxiety if I know early on that they'll allow me to have a ELCS, I'm terrified of doing it all again otherwise, plus I want to be sterilised during the procedure which will also alleviate my worries about another unplanned pregnancy. All 4 of my babies have been conceived whilst correctly using hormonal birth control!

Wuthering, so sorry to hear your news. I hope you're taking it easy and looking after yourself.

Tits, am also suffering that treacle effect - still so tired all the time!

So sorry Wuthering.

Wuthering You are amazing especially feeling calm today. Hope you've got plenty of chocolate and haven't moved out of bed yet. Thank you for your kind wishes to all of us.

No treacle effect here. Just 'must eat dry toast and cheddar cheese effect' to maintain some vague level of normalness! I've spend all morning at work trying to figure out how I can do a short day. Made it to lunch time so reckon I can struggle through the afternoon. Now trying to figure out how I'm going to get through Thurs and Fri.

So sorry for you Wuthering, you definitely deserve a day in bed with chocolate

Wuthering :( So sorry to hear that :( Chocolate sounds like a great idea x Take care x

Tits - good luck with your consultant. I had a fight last time as the first consultant I saw told me 'it will be fine, babies push themselves out'. I changed consultants and had a lovely one after that who agreed with my need for a section. I'll hopefully be having a section this time if I can get myself on the fast track out of there afterwards.

Wuthering - I am so sorry x be kind to yourself xxx

wuthering, I am so sorry for your loss, be kind to yourself x

tits I'm in awe of your fertility being a long time ttc-er!

Wuthering -a massive hug from me (((hug)))

I'm not entirely happy with your midwife's response and to be honest, if a midwife had said that to me on Sunday (and I am still bleeding a bit, as I was told I would be) I would think I had miscarried too and i haven't-how on earth can she guess???

I really do think you need to be looked at-your about 8ish/9ish weeks right? An EPU will scan you in your situation. Either you are still pregnant or (heaven forbid) you might need medical assistance.

You know your body though and I hope I am not speaking out of place. Wishing you a good outcome xxx

I actually came on to say the same as Kitty. I had worked quite a lot of bleeding last pg and it was when most my symptoms had gone. All was absolutely fine. Bleeding is really common isn't it and symptoms can come and go. Am sorry if this is insensitive as you might know for definite, but just in case...

Sorry forgot to say that was for Wuthering

I had an ELCS last time and it was a wonderful experience. I was reading a thread the other day where people were recounting their similar experiences. I was 'allowed' one on the back of medical issues- previous surgery in the area- but on reflection I would have chosen it. Dig your heels in. They cannot 'force' you to deliver vaginally if that's not for you. It's stressful though. Though awesome when they eventually get out the diary and ask you when you would like to have a baby:-)

Wuthering I just wanted to say the same as Kitty. Make them scan you FFS!! How can she guess from bleeding and no symptoms?? Some people have no symptoms, just the way it is. She sounds shit to be honest and I would be making them scan me. My SIL passed so much blood and huge clots and she's full term now.

If it is a mc they need to check if you have fully passed it all too if not it can be dangerous. I'm angry for you xx

Tits, hope you get your section. There is no way I'm not having one this time. I've been booked in with the consultant to discuss it but if she gets shirty I'll remind her that I had to pay thousands for IVF this time because of a botched EMCS last time. That might shut her up. Apart from the fact it's 99% physically impossible for me to give birth naturally.

Tits i hope you get your section. I had a bit of a fight with mine last time round. I had a medical reason but the first consultant i saw was so abrupt and horrible, told me to go and 'do my homework' and speak to this person and that person before making my decision which left me in tears. I had been 'Doing my homework' for the 6 years i've lived with it!! I ended up moving hospitals for other reasons and my consultant listened to what i had to say, agreed on the spot and booked me in. This wasn't until 36 weeks though. Absolutely fight for what you believe in. Although there was only a small risk to baby, it was to bigger risk for me, i'd rather the risk to me (surgery) than the baby and i know i made the right decision.

Saying that, my condition hasn't been as bad so far this pregnancy and if it continues this way i'll try for a vaginal but i'll still want to discuss with my consultant that if it flares up, ill want a section.

Wuthering please push to get a scan, your midwife sounds way too flippant for my liking.

Still no sickness here, just saw boobs and fatigue. I hope it's not a bad sign!

Evening ladies, sorry i have been awol... Seem to of missed alot since sunday!

Tits.. I have sent u a PM.. I dont mind joining early, i'm still on the aug 14 page which i joined only a week before mmc but stayed on as i felt i had 'bonded' with the ladies. Was nice sharing a piccy of my positive stick with them!

Kitty - sorry you had a rough weekend.

Wuthering - hugs to you but i agree you need to be scanned.

Sorry to everyone else having a rough time. 6 days until my next reassurance scan.

There's a fb page? That's great I'll pm you tits.

Tired, grumpy, sick, meh. Defo treacle territory tonight.
