July Thread 3 - I can't KEEP CALM, I'm Pregnant! The one where the hormones start to kick in...

[misseskimo]

Had a rather un-original attempt at a new name! Hop across ladies!

Hoping the stats link works...

Stats Link

That is an absolutely heart breaking figure. I genuinely had no idea.

I am kind of kicking myself that I was so keen to poas and get the BFP but really, it's pretty meaningless.

I just want to hide away now

Sorry to hear your news Sarky. I hope you have lots of support.

Look after yourself

x

Try to keep positive, sadly there's nothing you can do - which I find is the only thing to stop me constantly worrying.

Thinking of all the ladies who have lost their little ones. So sorry to hear about yours Number xx

Oh Sarky - after all those early scans with a strong heartbeat too.

Oh no Sarky I am so sorry and very sad to hear of your loss. I hope you feel better soon, and DH is taking care of you. Take care of yourself, treat and spoil yourself. All will be well, heard you can start trying immediately very possible. Hugs and xxx hon.

So so sorry Sarky, make sure you look after yourself and give yourself time to recover. Hope you are getting support in rl.

Sarky

Thinking of you sarky what devastating news :(

I am so shocked at howany ladies have had to leave this thread , it is so cruel; I can't imagine the pain sending all ladies that have suffered a loss lots of love and hoping you all have good support in rl

Sarky

Baby brain alert!!!
I was cooking DS dinner, put it into an oven dish, turn the oven on, put the timer on. After 20mn, open the oven and realise that the dish is still on the counter! Let's try again...

So so sorry sarky such devastating news.

Yes sadly, fleur, it is one in four pg that end in mc. However, as leela has said, it's properly shit bad luck and nothing can be done to prevent mc so pls don't worry unnecessarily. It's just so sad. It really annoys me that it's still such a taboo subject when thousands of ladies have their hearts broken every day It's the worst time ever.

So sorry to hear your sad news Sarky. Thinking of you at this time??

So sorry sarky to hear the news.

Fleur you're not alone, I honestly thought mc was rare but this thread has really opened up eyes and shown just how often it can/does happen. My biggest worry at the mo is mc which stops me from getting too excited about this pregnancy but as you said Leela there isn't anything that we can do so not worth the worry (although easier said than done)

Sending hugs to you sarky

I've just projectile vomited hot chocolate anyone else having stretchy pains? Mine are more towards my hip bone, xx

bust yes around the hips too. Fx you'll be feeling better soon

Defo easier said than done, isn't it, toast! I'm trying to be positive and believe my own "don't panic, you're still in the game, no reason to suspect mc" spiel but there's such a nagging in my mind. I mc at 12 weeks earlier this yr so am desperate for the next four weeks to scuttle by!

That's reassuring to know your having it too stone, how many weeks are you? I'm 10 & 3 xx

Sarky - condolences to you and your family I hope the overwhelming pain eases in time.

Broody I am exactly the same! Think DH didn't help matters initially as when I told him about BFP he mentioned that the gf of his friend had mc'd just before 12 week scan and had spell in hospital - and then said "oh I shouldn't really have told you" - no shit Sherlock! Why don't men think before opening their mouths!

Bust I'm 8 weeks today

Sorry to hear your news sarky

Sorry to hear your sad news sarky. Hope you have lots of support to help you through this time.

Gutted to hear your news sarky
fleur I'm really struggling with not overly worrying too, but everyone is right here, and my DH is often saying, there's no point to worrying, cos there's absolutely nothing you can do to prevent. But it's just a constant waiting for the next landmark and hoping it goes OK, isn't it?

8+6

toast unfortunately, that was me - I mc just hours before my 12 week scan. Such cruel timing. How is your DH's friend now? Are you all close?

Men are just different about all this baby stuff, I find; they're practical, not led by emotions, so they're happy to see those two glorious lines and are so supportive when we are vomming, but for them, they're not daddies until that bump pops and they're holding the baby themselves. God love em though

I agree about that nagging worry (aka mc) I'm constantly on pants checking especially as I always feel wet (sorry tmi). But fx it'll all be fine.

Broody that's awful! Why do shit things like that happen?

So sorry
