[Scase1firsttimemum]

Hello ladies, made a new thread seeing as we have almost run out of room on the last one!

Here's my scan picture he/she was looking at us and waving so happy that everything is going well after the last two losses

Vickie that's a love pic x

Meant lovely!

Ooo gnat I didn't know all that about black tea and iron absorption! You learn something new.

Chuckled at Ham and Woodsy getting their other halves to watch One Born. I don't think my husband would sit through it! Very impressed with him today though - he went out a scraped my car free of frost before I left for work, without me asking (or to be honest even noticing there was a heavy frost outside), and he wasn't even leaving the house today! This is pretty unusual behaviour, believe me. Hope it's a sign of things to come

Really glad your scan went well, vickie.

My OH loves watching it, even his choice sometimes!

I'm so sorry, insufficiently. I miscarried earlier in the year. Much love - be kind to yourself.

I only know about the tea/iron because I've had problems with anaemia in the past. It's true for red wine too unfortunately! Anything with tannins.

Pulpi, forgot to say that my DH came to booking in with me, I was happy to go on my own but he really wanted to be part of it, and I was glad in the end to have the company and moral support. He didn't need to be there but the midwife did ask him the odd question about his family, even though we'd already filled in the forms together at home.

Wow scase my DH refuses to watch it. I don't even watch it anymore (haven't for the past few years for fear of getting broody )
Glad your scan went well vickie and what a lovely cute scan pic! Great news on the scan too XL , have you had a section before?
gnat I have no idea with regards to different dates. I wondered if mine was so low because I had my testing rather early? My fluid measurement was less than 1.. But the baby was smaller? Unless it's proportionate as to how it grows? No idea how it works! With regards to the tea- I think green tea has caffeine in it? Which makes sense as to why not.. But fruit teas don't?
hamsolo to being dd buddies!

Think he just wants to know what hes gunna have to deal with :L ohhh it does make you broody and my Aunt had a baby last year which didnt help!! However this baby is a complete surprise and not planned, but I wouldnt have it any other way! Im so excited and thankfully so is the OH we may about to become young parents but my mum and sister done it at my age ( wasnt trying to follow in their footsteps insert laughing face) cant wait :)))))

Yes green tea has caffeine but I think a bit less than black tea. Perhaps the warnings for that are just want to make sure people don't confuse it with caffeine free tea.

Cookies it's a mystery to me how they work out the percentages, think my first measurement was 1.3 but I can't see what the second one was. Maybe it becomes easier to measure more accurately the older the foetus is? Who knows.

Bluebell I can honestly say I think my DD will be the one giving me sleepless nights as a teenager rather than DS! Glad your DH is looking after you. There is no way my DH would watch OBEM either, it's just not his cup of tea!

Indians I'm with you on the sickness front, I've got tablets now and been signed off work, starting to feel a bit better...you have my sympathies

Beaut sorry your bladder is giving you the run around, I'm down from 2-3 pee's per night to just one at the moment...result! I have leaked a bit of wee several times recently though while laughing/wretching/sneezing which has scared me into religiously doing my pelvic floor exercises every night!

Cookies glad your results were so good, brilliant news.

Great news about your scans Vickie and XL and lovely pic Vickie.

Gnat sorry you're still feeling rough, hope your 2nd trimester bloom kicks in soon!

Mascara glad you've started feeling better, hopefully the weekend will recharge your batteries again.

Scase thumbs up for the maternity workwear...enjoy!

Sorry to anyone I've missed!

Gnat - I am doing ok thanks. Was discharged from hospital yesterday so just taking some time out to recover. Emotionally I am a bit all over the place but my mum keeps saying this is normal and to let it out. I am staying with her for a week so hopefully get plenty rest here. Physically I feel exhausted and weak especially when standing so think im probably a bit anaemic.

It's nice to see you are all doing well! Xx

Glad to hear you are doing ok Mel. At least you are out of hospital now. Sounds like you are in good hands with your mum. Get some iron tablets to strengthen yourself, the emotions will take a bit longer to sort out.

Take care.

It's so nice to hear from you Mel and it does take time to feel normal again especially emotionally but at least you have got your mum looking after you it's often the best place to be xx

So nice to have you pop in Mel, glad your mum is being supportive. I cant imagine what you're going through, but you seem to have the support you need to help you through this tough time. Hope you can one day try again and Ill see you in the future on a new thread

Thanks ladies my mil can't seem to understand why I needed to come to my mums and i Desperately wish She was just happy for me to recover where I need to. Apparently her daughter said to her that I shouldn't have left home and should be with DH etc. Honestly why do people butt in? DH was happy with me coming here and I suppose I can't be a martyr and should just accept that what is right for me isn't right for everyone and I can't fix the world. I just like everything and everyone to be on the same page but that's not real life is it!!

Me and my dd went to stay with my parents for a week after my ectopic it was exactly what I needed and my dp totally understood you have to do what's best for you Mel and ignore anyone else! X

thanks - I really needed to hear that. Just felt so sorry for DH when he was telling me this. He obviously feels a little torn too although he has been trying to tell his mum off she has been getting angry !

I felt guilty leaving dp but for once I had to put myself 1st and it was still a struggling when I came home but it does get easier xx

Hi ladies. I just wanted to pop back in and say thanks for the messages of support. I have been reading them but didn't really feel like posting. There are no words to describe this. I'm going to step away from this thread now because otherwise I'll end up torturing myself although there's something reassuring about reading some of your posts. It makes me happy to know that while mine won't be amongst them there are going to be so many beautiful babies from this thread in the summer. I wish I could cuddle them all, please do it for me.

Good luck ladies. I hope you find your second trimester glow soon and all goes well. x

insuciciently thanks so much for popping back. Take care of yourself and I'm sure all will be well in time. Much love xxx

Lovely to see you pop back i Insufficiently rest up as much as you can and think about yourself and make sure you give yourself time to grieve. Its such a horrible thing and Im so shocked at how common it actually is! I hope you can all go on to have healthy, happy babies

Thanks for posting, Insufficiently - it must be very hard to do. Thanks for your good wishes and best of luck with your recovery. Don't know what your plans will be, but do pop back again if you ever feel you would like to, to let us know how you are, and (who knows?) if you get a BFP again while this thread is still going.

Ladies I think we need a new thread! Scase I think you did it last time? I have no idea how. Will have a look.
