Good news on the scan, Bowie!

I don't have time for symptoms, I'm currently working 5.30am-10pm with a one hour nap in the middle of the day. People on the bus smell horrific, and sometimes I get dizzy, but I just have to power through one last day of this and then things will ease off.

Sorry, you know what, that sounded snarky - people who are throwing up don't have time for symptoms either, they just can't help throwing up or feeling exhausted or whatever! I have just been lucky so far (and of course am also trying not to go mental about it meaning something is wrong).

I think it helps that I have experience of managing debilitating tiredness, I was suffering from a very serious untreated condition while finishing up my PhD, and was so weak I was physically unable to stay awake for more than a few hours at a time, while simultaneously trying to work 14 hour days without more than a day off a month. So I am measuring this against that, really. In short: so far so good, but I guess it could change at any time for any of us.

So I've just climbed into bed....shattered and freeeeezing!!! I reallllllly want to get my electric blanket on my bed but I've read it's not good for you? I need a hot water bottle!!

Your v welcome Ann. I'm now having a wibble at how the hell I'll keep a two year old and a one year one-way from the Moses basket this time round!

I'm still bloody knackered and feeling starving bit a bit sicky. I've found that cawstons press apple & ginger juice helps.

Hoping for good results for everyone with bleeding - thinking of you all

Hi Dixiebell thanks for the welcome. This baby's due date is the same as DD's so it's a distinct possibility!

I'm simply shattered but tbh if I wasn't pregnant I would be putting it down to sleepless nights due to DD and I being ill so no symptoms at all.

Tomorrow is my first day back at work since I found out. Not sure how I'm going to manage teaching gymnastics - might have to have hurt my back to avoid too much lifting of equipment and supporting kids.

Think I might go to bed now - hope you all get a good nights sleep.

I've got a doctor's appointment on Tuesday and the receptionist said I had to decide what hospital I wanted by then! Lewisham, Kings or Guys. I have absolutely no clue! The GP practice has a Lewisham hospital midwife in-house so that would make it easier I guess. Any one got experience of any of them?

Any other commuter cyclists in the group? I've found riding to work is fine but coming home is sooo difficult. I just have no puff!

I've got a wedding on Saturday. I've never been known to say no to a drink so it's just going to be so obvious. Especially with any toasts. DH reckoned I should put the glass to my mouth and pretend - and then give it to him! And i've never been to a wedding and not drunk at all - always need a bit of dutch courage when you're stuck on a table with people you don't know and are SHY! Argh!

cryingbabymess - I am so cold too. Some of my toes are actually numb!

Check you lot out with a new thread already, talkative bunch!!

Sorry I've been MIA, been getting abit obsessive with the internet and whipping myself up into a frenzy so have been trying to take a step back.

You might remember I had a scan last week after spotting which showed a beautiful strong heartbeat however I have started bleeding pretty heavy, red blood today with clots and also have cramps so it's not looking good for me.

Have my booking in appointment tomorrow too. I'm going to ring EPU in the morning for their advice but I'm not feeling very positive

I hope everyone else experiencing bleeding gets checked out and all is ok. I will update you all tomorrow

reeree am so sorry this is going so badly for you - def call the epu.

Those who are st George's hospital linked - the epu there is walk in....that's where I went last week :(
But they are kind yet honest.

Anyone else getting mild cramps? its worrying me but have had them for the last week so guessing it's just things stretching?

Oh no sorry Reeree

liliana and dixiebell are you both in the november 12 fb group too? dd is a nov 12 baby and ds is a nov 13 baby

Yes we are twobees, are you there too? I never know anyone's MN name! Wow 3 in Nov - I'm already worried the end of the year will be expensive with 2 birthdays and Christmas.
Sorry to hear the Reeree, I really hope things are ok.

Busy November twobees! My bday is nov 17th, I'm hoping to avoid that!

Hello all

I have been lurking on this thread for a while and wanted to pop in to say hi. Not sure when I am due, sometime between 12 and 17 November maybe.

I'm a nearly 40 mum of two, who are 8 and 5. We had some problems over the years (ectopics, miscarriages etc) and about a year ago decided to stop ttc and to focus on the children we already have and our careers. We genuinely thought another pregnancy would not happen (due to my age, and I only have one tube, and I am clearly not terribly fertile any more) and so i am a little bit shocked to find myself with an accident (particularly having spent 8 years during which having babies was always somewhere on my mind and then given up!). I don't even know when my last period was - that is how little I was ttc!

Because of my history we are pretty nervous. My last pg ended in MC at around 9 weeks, but I feel strangely optimistic about this one. Probably because it just happened, without me trying to force it. Anyway, we are delighted, and I spend half of my time thrilled that my boobs are agony, and hoping that I'll start vomming all over the place. I do have some cramps, which are very nerve wracking, but then I think I remember these from Dd1 and anyway, it could just be my guts which don't seem entirely happy with the situation!

I've had an early scan to confirm location and saw the peanut nestled in there. There was no measurable heartbeat yet, but the doctor said he could see some flickering, and he thought he could see an embryo, although again it was too small to measure. So fingers crossed for the peanut. And good luck to the rest of you - sorry about the essay!

yes I am liliana and dixiebell but I don't get to post very often. nice to know there's other quiche mummas in this group too!

and yes 3 in November, which is (coincidentaly ofcourse) 9 months after our wedding anniversary haha

Hope you're ok this morning reeree , thinking of you.

Rough and Reeree good luck today with your scans.

Mrsscarlet i hope your ok and that you get a scan as well.

Welcome to the new BFPs. Hope your all ok.

I vomited my tea last night and Dd was very concerned she kept coming over and trying to rub my back (which unfortunately makes me worse i hate people touching my back) and saying its ok mummy. Then she kept saying to DP mummy poorly and keeps going bawk. Bless her i think i scared her.

I'm freaking out about what I can and cannot eat! I'm going out for lunch with a work mate today and I'm googling the menu along side what I can eat and it's difficult! I feel like I'm not coping with being pregnant and I've only known for 4 days!
I didn't think I would be like this! I actually feel like I've failed already! I'm probably being a bit melodramatic but

Scan went really well, I'm so relieved! Measuring at 7+1, saw the heartbeat - so, so happy. DH had a wee cry when we came out - just the relief I think. Feel so lucky just now.

crying - what foods are you concerned about? The vast majority of food is safe to eat and, even if you are something contraband, the risk of anything happening are very small.

Can you post the options and perhaps we can help?

Ps rough - delighted to hear that all wrbt well. Can they explain what caused the bleeding or is it just one of those things?

Woo rough I'm super happy for you!

I can't say what foods I'm worried about, it's just everything like the place I'm going to today serves burgers and hot dogs so I'm searching and I know I can't have hot dogs but then my next thing is can I have the bacon or cheese on a burger etc! I'm just over thinking things (something I am EXTREMELY good at anyway!) but making a mountain out of a molehill! I probably wouldn't be too bad if I could speak to my mates about it but we aren't telling anyone until after we can tell my dad and brother and my dad is out the country just now!

Hi everyone from a shattered focus focus.

Rough and Bowie - how wonderful that you saw your little grain and a beat! Yeah!

Reeree - so sorry, fingers crossed for you.

Everyone else with bleeding, hoping nobody's is serious.

I myself have been MIA from this thread and indeed from life! The fatigue killed me on Sunday and since then I've been off work simply unable to take myself to the toilet which I of course am doing, but I cannot describe this fatigue. Nausea and Vomitting each day but the fatigue makes me howl on the floor of the bedroom it's so overpowering. I am literally crying out of exhaustion.

Won't be posting much till I get some oomph back in me. Thinking of all you lovely ladies!
