January 2016 thread #2......sick bags at the ready!

[brickiemum2]

New thread for us all

Blimey it's awful isn't it? I just hate the pressure of the waistbands it makes me so uncomfortable, especially at night time! Top button on my skinny jeans was also undone any time I sat down yesterday. Slightly concerning at 5 weeks lol!!

So sorry to hear that donna

Parsnip I had a really sore shoulder at about 5 weeks - I didnt even think ectopic (I don't really know much about them), just thought it must be ligaments stretching and that I'd slept badly on it. It went after a few days. If you don't have pain or bleeding I think you'll be fine - but see how you are in the morning.

Almost 8 weeks! We are going on a 10 hr drive (family holiday) on Friday, not sure how the belly will cope . Hopefully won't have much nausea. Will have to find something really comfy to wear though. I caved and ordered some new mat jeans yesterday but I doubt they'll be here in time.

Parsnip How are you feeling this morning?

So sorry to hear that Donna, please take care of yourself.

Parsnip hope the shoulder isn't painful today.

Donna so sorry to hear that - take care of yourself
How's everyone today?

Hi everyone, the pain has now gone so I was just being silly last night, sorry for panic post!!

Hope everyone has a nice bank holiday Monday planned?

Glad to hear! Out of interest does anyone expect to be dated differently to first day of LMP? I've read of it happening. I have irregular long periods but accord to my LMP I'm 5+1 but from blood tests I know roughly when I ovulated so am more like 3.5/4. I'm curios as last baby I was induced at 40+12 and maybe the extra few days might have made a difference?! 48 hours of induction that didn't work was a chore!

Yes confused, LMP has me at 7+6, but I know based on conception as we only DTD a few times that I'm actually only 7+1, im guessing they'll amend EDD at 12 week scan based on that?

Hi. Haven't done the stats when I promised I would because I started bleeding. Had an inconclusive scan Friday night but had another last night an my empty sac is measuring 6 weeks 5 days when I should be 8 weeks. No heartbeat and hcg has gone from 5,000 to 4,000 in 2 days. Now waiting for miscarriage to get into full swing.

Sorry to hear that mummyofone

Mummyofone so sorry to hear that

mummy - I'm so sorry, what horrible news. I hope that you are getting a lot of support from your dp and any friends that you can bear to tell.

Thinking of you xx

Mummyofonesofar so sorry to hear that. Hope you've got plenty of support in RL. Look after yourself.

So sorry mummyofone. Look after yourself.

I'm so pleased I told all of our close friends and my boss so I can have time off work to grieve and all our friends are a great support and I don't have to pretend to anyone that I am fine.

mummyofone So sorry to hear that, thinking of you

Greive as loudly and as much as you need to, Mummyofonesofar. I'm glad you have plenty of people who will understand. And yes to taking time off work. It's a massively traumatic experience and you need to look after yourself

*grieve

I'm so sorry mummyofone and donna

Sorry to hear that mummyofone but glad you have so much support.

Impatiently and Oneconfused at your scan they will measure the length of your bean and estimate how far along you are by that. It's all estimations whether you base it on lmp or length at scan. If you know exactly when you ovulated and DTD then you probably have a more accurate idea.

At my reassurance scan last week they measured it to be 5+4 whereas we had IVF so I know exactly when those eggs got fertilised and I should have been 6+3. They said not to worry as it was too early to measure accurately as it's so small. At 12 weeks it's bigger and so you get a more accurate idea.

39 weeks is only an average anyway - every living being grows at a slightly different rate to every other

Thanks. They are out of date but if anyone wants to take over the stats sheet then join Google sheets, send me your email address and I will give you the spreadsheet.

Hello again, just poking my nose back in, don't think I've posted since first thread! Lots of new faces, hi and congrats!

Just been reading back thru the posts, lots of ups and downs. Sorry to those who have had bad news. Hope you're all being well looked after in RL.

6+6 here, and midwife appt tmrw afternoon and private scan on Thursday. Beginning to believe this might be for real, but I just want to see a heartbeat. I had a mc about 7-8 weeks in March, but it was a blighted ovum last time, picked up around this time. But I'd been having bleeding on and off pretty much all the way through last time and none this time.

I've decided being optimistic won't change the outcome for the worst, and it's easier than being anxious the whole time!

And on symptoms, mine come and go. I spent yesterday languishing in nausea, barely managed to be upright all day. I've been for a nice swim today and currently feeling fine. But my MS tends to hit around now so...

heartbroken for you mummyofone
I hope you and dp are holding up okay and glad you have lots of rl support around you - also some time off work. I hope the physical side of things is over and done with quickly and painlessly for you.
These threads make you realise how common this is, sadly

Hello lovely ladies. I just got my bfp and the online due date calculator has given me 31/01/2016. Is it ok if I hang out here while I figure out what's what?
This my first pregnancy and I'm pretty much clueless DH is even worse.
Is anyone else on here having their first?

Congrats Oyster there's a nice mix of first timers and 'been there done that's' on here! I will say, I used to get fed up (but glad I stuck with it) on my first mn thread as I was due 23rd and everyone else was doing things before me!
