[Spottyladybird]

Wow! Thread number three.

It hasn't been good news for me today sadly. Thank you for your brief support everyone and good luck xx

Oh wrungout I am so sorry. Take good care of yourself and I hope you have lots of support at home.

So sorry wrungout. Take care of yourself

I'm 8+6 today so not too far ahead of you, INeed and Scottish! My 12w scan is 16th May.

One thing I'm finding very weird is I haven't put on any weight. I know that probably should be a good thing, but I'm eating loads more than usual so feel like I should be piling it on?! But maybe not!

This pregnancy thing is weird.

Oh wrungout I'm so sorry, cross posts there. Thinking of you and sending all my love. Take care x

I'm so sorry to hear that wrungout Sending all my best to you xxx

Oh Wrungout, you poor thing. You know we're all thinking of you and hope that your recovery is quick. look after yourself.

Wrungout you poor thing. Look after yourself

I haven't got a scan date yet. I have my booking in appointment on Friday and I think the scan will be organised after that.

Sorry to hear that wrungout. Take care of yourself

Sorry to hear that wrungout

So sorry to hear that Wrungout. Take care of yourself

Scottish and INeed I am 8+4 so nearly the same as you! Hopefully booking in today so no scan date as yet.

So sorry to hear that wrungout sending lots of love xx

Copper I have lost weight which is down to the sickness but I could do with it so ok for me. Baby is taking what it needs so thinking that's good.

Thanks Rusk - the only reason it slightly worries me is that I haven't had any sickness... lots of nausea but not actual vomiting so not sure where all the food is going! Maybe baby just has a big appetite?!

copper, I have just weighed myself and despite not having sickness or nausea and just coming back from holiday where I ate loads and was really unhealthy I have lost 2lbs and am 12 weeks.

I'm so sorry wrungout82 I've been there with mc and its very very hard both emotionally and physically. My thoughts are with you

So sorry wrungout take care of yourself

I'm so sorry wrungout. I don't think there are words for how you're feeling right now. It's just a horrible thing to happen. Be kind to yourself xx

So sorry wrungout, I've been there. Take yourself to bed and rest.

So sorry wrung out. What horrible news. Xx

I'm so sorry wrungout, the worst news to hear. Thinking of you.

I managed to survive the beach party- had to pretend to drink a Harvey Wallbanger which was difficult but just poured it to one side when no one was looking. I didn't want to convincingly pretend to drink as I don't want anyone to think I was drinking when they find out I was pregnant at the time! I can't believe how many people asked when I'm going to have a baby. So many! I went with a friend and her 10 month old and my mum in the car- my mum was a nightmare as she kept making comments about being a grandma and my friend doesn't know yet! Then at the beach, my mum kept getting teary holding the babies (especially a 3 month one) and giving me weepy eyes! She's a nightmare lol. There's me trying to be sensible and she's literally bursting with the thought of being a grandma!

My cousin asked why I wasn't drinking so k said we were trying for a baby and she got really excited and said to try not to stress too much about getting pregnant. She has 2 healthy daughters (2 years and 3 months) but said she had six miscarriages to begin with which she put down to stress, all before 14 weeks. She quit her job, got a simple tesco checkout part time job and fell pregnant straight away with her first. She meant it as kind advice but unfortunately, my job as a teacher is very stressful (especially now during exam time) and I can't exactly quit! Trying not to think too much about it and think that there must have been other factors in her miscarriages rather than just job stress (otherwise I'm screwed!) but I've got lots of teacher friends who've had totally fine pregnancies so I shouldn't worry!

Glad you got away with not drinking Jam and I don't believe in stress causing miscarriages. If you look at some women with incredibly stressful jobs/situations (CEO/in prison/concentration camps years ago etc) and they have healthy pregnancies.

Thank you Fuzzy, that's really reassuring. I'm sure it'll appear at some point!

My mum is a nightmare too Jam. She slips up more than the 9 year old!!

Dh and I are out for dinner tonight with a big group. The restaurant couldn't fit us in till 9 and I was sat there thinking "I'm never gonna make it till 9pm" when dh walks in with a bowl of new potatoes, mint sauce and gravy. "Thought you'd need carbs" he said! Spoilt!!

Likea and jam your mums are going to be SO thrilled when you tell them lol.

Likea your husband sounds so lovely.

Copper I think the stress of normal every day work doesn't affect pregnancy, lots of women hold down stressful jobs and have healthy babies. Fingers crossed everything will go well.
