sparkly I'm so sorry, you are absolutely right though to hold onto the positive that you can get pregnant, it doesn't make the situation any less crap but when I had my mc it did help me keep my hopes up for the future. Take care of yourself and I'll be stalking watching the bus for good news from you. Thanks Thanks

Treaclepie19 · 19/01/2015 07:14

So sorry sparkly :(

I had nightmares all last night too :/ took me ages to get to sleep as I was having cramps - still there.
Can I stay in bed please? :(

ShootTheMoon · 19/01/2015 07:18

I'm so sorry sparkly. Wishing you a speedy recovery and lots of luck. Take care ThanksThanks

DoctorDonnaNoble · 19/01/2015 08:19

I'm really, really cold today. Can't get warm at all.

sparkly so sorry, thinking of you Flowers

Mummyboo30 · 19/01/2015 08:39

So sorry Sparkly, stay positive and I hope you're not on the buses for too long. Flowers

Stoatystoat · 19/01/2015 08:44

I could stay in bed too. But took a grim morning one step at a time and I'm dressed, made up and on my commute. Roar!!!

Hello, can I join this thread? was on the other one which got really full!

Am about 6 weeks pg, had a rubbish weekend of staying in hospital for tests due to suspected ectopic pregnancy, luckily it's been ruled out now as scan showed everything in the right place, but feeling a bit weirded out by it all and now worried about everything.. I'm still feeling mild cramps on my right hand side is this normal? Going back for another scan next week and really hoping to hear a heartbeat!

LittleSesameSeed · 19/01/2015 09:29

I'm so sorry sparkly x take care of yourself and I look forward to seeing u join a new bus in the not so distant future x

DS has suddenly decided he no longer likes me going to work Sad Sad absolutely heartbreaking in the morning now, no idea how to get him back to happy independent cheerful self. Plus OH has been up all night being sick. And i just want to hibernate! Shit day so far Sad sorry, feeling sorry for myself!

TheMidnightHour · 19/01/2015 10:19

Hello all! How busy the thread has got! Just marking my place here. Thinking of getting an early scan privately, as worrying about various things.

Also questioning recent move to Oxfordshire, as have 1 friend and 1 acquaintance in the 3 nearest counties. For those of you who already have DC - was it your existing friends or new ones who were the most help in the early days??

Feel like if we stay, we just won't make any friends, or will make some in the next 8 months then lose them once we turn into baby-zombies.

TerrysNo3 · 19/01/2015 10:31

midnight definitely baby friends are a better help than existing friends, don't get me wrong, my friends are awesome but ime unless you are going through the same things at the same time, especially the newborn stage they can't help. Also have no fear, babies are the best way of making new friends, beaten only by school age children Grin

I found that I needed people with babies because a) they are going through the same things (bit like in here) and b) your other friends/family will probably be at work whilst you're on mat leave.

spamanderson · 19/01/2015 10:48

Oh sparkly I'm so sorry :(

nutelladipper · 19/01/2015 11:09

so sorry sparkly.

midnight i'd definitely said mummy friends are a better help than my other friends unless they happen to have a baby at a similar time. I found even friends with older children had forgotten what its like.

Hello all,

I'm 4 weeks+5, due 23rd Sep I think. DH wants us to keep it private until 12weeks so I have only told one friend and I feel like I am going to pop from the mixture of excitement and needing support.

I have had cramping and sore boobs for the last week, and waking up at 6am every morning to wee. I am enjoying symptoms as they make it feel real. On days when I feel less I get paranoid and read all sorts of doom online, which makes me even more worried of course. I am doing a Poundland test every other day just to check still pregnant! I am surprised how anxious and obsessed I am being. I have far more sympathy for my hyperchondriac friend now! I haven't really had to think about my body much before, as no health worries or anything. Now I can't stop thinking about it!

Read that the embryo is lentil-sized now, so we looked at a lentil on the palm of my hand yesterday and it felt nice.

Good luck everyone!

SomewhereovertheRainbow02 · 19/01/2015 11:38

oh my god, so sorry for TMI but anyone else struggling to go the loo?
I haven't been since Thursday and the stomach ache today from that and trapped wind.....AND im stuck in work!
not a happy bunny today!

I am definitely off my usual daily course! With me it slows down for a few days and I get uncomfortably bloated, then an urgent, upset tummy feeling that I need to go!!

TerrysNo3 · 19/01/2015 12:30

somewhere a fresh fruit juice helped me this morning, failing that oranges /clementines are very good

Thanks Boodly and Terrys.
In absolute agony (which is making me think allsorts)

nutelladipper · 19/01/2015 13:14

a good daily dose of vegetables and lots of them is good for me!

Tallalime · 19/01/2015 13:37

Hello all.

So sorry to hear your news Sparkly I hope you are feeling OK x

I got a call from my job agency today saying that the interview I went to last week went really well and I will either definitely get a second interview, or an offer by tomorrow. If I get it that will be a huge weight off my mind. Though I will have to keep pg quiet for at least 3 months Confused

We are renovating our house and I've a chippy in today laying floorboards. We only have a shower curtain for a bathroom door and I need a wee Sad

squiish · 19/01/2015 13:45

sparkly I'm so sorry to hear your news Sad good luck for the next few months.

midnight I moved away from family & friends last year and i am also panicked about being a lonely mum as I am quite shy. Hoping NCT and other things will help me make friends (for the longterm!) Smile

Called the DR today and they told me to just swing by and pick up a pregnancy pack - eek that is super exciting.

Does anyone else (or did, in the earlier weeks) think, is this actually real?! I've turned into a paranoid Pete Hmm

DoctorDonnaNoble · 19/01/2015 14:00

I'm really not hungry today. I feel a little sicky but haven't actually been sick. Feel really washed out and rubbish today.
