February 2016 babies - let the chundering commence

[jellypi3]

Stats sheet here :) docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dWmvdD9SkvPQqKn7rpFHazgufmda2FOTMtL093cZFj8/htmlview

haha raff you're right, i'm 6+5 not 6+6!! oops! good catch!

I do have short cycles though, 24 days on average, so not sure how that's going to affect my dating.

I was doing some calculations to see if my dates were right jelly I think different length cycles can affect it due to ovulation, but I guess the only way to tell is to wait for the dating scan. Since my MC, I have longer cycles (34 days sometimes) but I know I ovulated on or around 10th May this cycle so I'm fairly confident my dates are about right.

In other news, I need to eat soon or I'm going to throw up - but I don't want my colleagues thinking I'm a massive pig for stuffing a bag of plain crisps at 11am!

I ovulated on 7th May, so if I use my Ov date for calculating i'm further ahead than my LMP, but as you say no point worrying till dating scan!

Just eat, thsi morning I have had cereal, a pear, and apple and a croissant. I've felt so hungry and nauseous. I'm gonna be a whale by 12 weeks!

Hi all, and welcome too all the new bfps.
Sorry your bean is causing you worry rufus - i bled in my first pg and baby was fine.
rafferty i know what you mean, i have just taught my entire second lesson feeling like i was going to throw up, almost ran for the door a couple of times. That's the problem with teaching , until it's common knowledge you can't eat in class as no way to explain it, and our kids would defo call me out on it.
Im mostly feeling completely shattered all the time, not helped by being so insanely busy at work that im currently doing extra catch up classes for students during lunch break and after school. Once toddler is.in bed and ive eaten i just want to collapse in bed but still have planning to do for next days lessons.

Ohhh, Jelly & raff I'm same lmp date and due date as you guys then.
Still feeling ok but severe now crippling exhaustion has hit.

jelly that is a good effort! I've just nipped to pret and gone for a ham and pickle sarnie with crisps and a fizzy apple juice. Subtly eating the crisps at my desk now

mars you poor thing having to teach and manage nausea. That sounds really shite. Can you sneak something when the little buggers aren't looking? My best mate is a teacher and she always talks about how hard it is - and she's not even pregnant so I really feel for you.

Hey sparkles...another due date buddy! Although I think this one will be early. DS was 10lb 4oz delivered by EMCS after a horrific induced labour so I'll be pushing for a planned CS for this one.

I am also eating my way through the nausea! It will be a relief when people know. I am feeling much less bloated now which is a relief.
Congrats on all the new BPFs and sorry to hear of those having a worrying time. I have everything crossed for us all!
I have been off work with a cold this week, it really wiped me out. I was feeling very sorry for myself yesterday

Hi all

I'm 5 weeks tomorrow and am bleeding. Am sat at work at a loss as to what to do - phoned the EPU and they need a referral from GP so need To go to the walk in clinic tomorrow.

If I go home I'll need to tell someone (male boss) and not sure I can do that without crying! I have a desk job so might just sit it out until 4pm then go home.

I had a fainter BFP yesterday so think this might be the start of another early mc.

Hate this. I assumed that with dc2 it would all be easy, breezy pregnancy and baby at the end of it.

Welcome new ladies! I'll read back in a minute, but just have to share my good news with someone other than OH.. Got blood test and hCg has gone from 4841, to 9535 in 48 hours- puts me into 6 weeks somewhere! Plus, as of today, feel absolutely rubbish! Wahoo for morning sickness..(this joy may not last, I am aware.) but such a relief!

Morecake I'm so sorry! I hope the bleeding stops.. Hopefully you can see someone and they can allay your fears!

morecake I'm sorry to hear that. Can you tell your boss that you have bad stomach cramps or something? Try and rest up as much as you can

Hello friends, thank you for the kind wishes.

Been in hospital since early yesterday morning...yesterday afternoon I saw the London Big Nob Physician of Hyperesemis...he is cool. Last night I started a course of steroids ( the most advanced thinking is that HG is a severe inflammatory reaction through the body in response to the mothers immuno response to pregnancy hormones). This treatment is supposed to help 80% of HG sufferers and should be of no risk to the baby (just very few doctors know how to administer it).

While I am not jumping on the bed yet, I haven't actually vomited since last night and don't feel quite as desperate and out of control. I dunno though...still feeling pretty low...the plan is for me to be home in time for my little boy's first birthday party tomorrow afternoon. It is a Teddy Bears Picnic and I have put so much effort into its planning. But the thought of getting up and dressing makes me just feel depressed right now.

Thank you all for your warm support and messages. I don't know if Mumsnet will delete such a shot but thought these dimples might perk you all up! I miss him so much....I so want to enjoy his party.

Hyperesemis....Hyperemesis....hyper WHATEVER!!!!! You all know what I mean!!!

Hi ladies! Loving the good vibes today! Fingers crossed for you cake and everyone else having a tough time. Banana, we're due date buddies! I'm 16th. Got a call from the midwife this morning- got my booking in appt on the 7th July!! So far away though!

Elephant, were you having your scan today? I vomited at work, so now my boss knows.. She's had three, and was chuffed for me..

Morecake, if I were you I'd tell him and go home- you'll be much more comfortable there. I'd tell him, so he's aware what's going on- are you going to want to work tomorrow? If it turns into good news, he knows early, so what; if (and it's a big if- some women do just bleed) it does go wrong, you'd probably need to tell him anyway as you'll need time off. Be kind to yourself xx

morecake I've really got my fingers crossed for you. I agree with the others, go home sick and give yourself some tlc. I'm sorry the epu wasn't more helpful!

lahottie, I'm late to the thread and sorry to hear you've been suffering so much! It's fantastic that you've got proper treatment, really hope it works out and you can get home for the party

Thanks girls. Am heading home now - boss was in a meeting (lucky) so snuck out and have emailed him.

Still bleeding and did a pg test in the work loo (classy). It's negative.

So it looks like I've miscarried again. Feel numb. Feel so silly for joining an antenatal thread on MN again and having to leave again. Feel stupid for testing again so early and getting my hopes up.

Can't help but feel I've let down DH, again, and DD who is constantly asking for a baby brother or sister.

Wishing you all very happy, healthy pregnancies and sticky beans all round XxX

Morecake can you simply make something up and go home? Say you have a family emergency? Which could provide your excuse for a few more days off if required. I feel you must be somewhere where you feel safe and protected both physically and emotionally.

How are things now? I certainly wouldn't dream of making light of your bleeding but depending on the volume you are at a stage where implantation bleeding is common.

Morecake, don't feel silly- I've been in your position before and it is absolutely shitty. Is it worth making an appointment with the GP to get HCG levels checked? It's a conclusive answer, if nothing else. Does your DH know?

Oh morecake, I'm so sorry

You absolutely have not let anyone down in any way, shape or form. I know it is very raw at the moment, but please, please, please don't fall into the trap of thinking like this. Mc is a sad part of life for many of us but it doesn't mean we've done anything wrong. Please take some time off, look after yourself and get any help or support you need to get back on your feet. Will be thinking of you.

X post hottie!

Thank you, I'll feel better being at home. DH is home with DD today so will have them to cuddle!

Oh Morecake, I am so very sorry. That must be such a sad private moment at work, and I am happy to hear you are going home.

You are letting NO ONE down. It wasn't the right egg, and that's ok. I am nervous to say anything about miscarriages but when I was talking to my physician yesterday (who is dealing with my HG) he told me some remarkable statistics about the percentages of women who have suffered miscarriages and then go on to have successful pregnancies. You won't care about this right now, just deal with what is in front of you. But don't let it cross your mind that when the right egg arrives, you won't create a beautiful sibling for your little girl.

Hi cake. I can sympathise. When i found blood at work on Tuesday i freaked, took my male boss aside and then completely lost my words and almost burst into tears but he got the gist that i needed to go home. I emailed him from home which was much easier and he's been amazingly supportive since. So i would either tell him you need to go home but if you can't explain why then perhaps email/text to explain further. Or if there was another colleague that you could talk to do that and ask them to tell your male boss you weren't feeling well and have gone home. But don't stay at work, it will feel like the longest afternoon ever if you're worried. Go home and rest and be kind to yourself. Bleeding happens and theres a good chance all will be fine.
