That's great news Sneaks I hope you can relax a little bit more now. Easier said than done!
Can I just ask what the symptoms of an ectopic are?
The bleeding and spotting before I got my BFP have got me nervous especially as my GP has concerns about that too. Thanks.

Flossam · 02/02/2007 16:57

Ahem! So very pleased to see so many of you have graduated on to here from the TTC boards! Good luck i hope all goes well for you. FWIW I'm 8+2 now and was a feverent knicker checker. I had two very small bleeds, the first I think could well have been caused by over wiping...

I hope everything goes well for those having scans, it is so nerve wrecking.

MrsMcJnr · 02/02/2007 17:07

Hello Flossam PMSL at your over wiping glad to hear all is going well.

It is such a relief to be able to discuss my knicker checking habit with somebody - haven't dared share it with dh ... speaking of whom - poor bugger came in tonight, had been working on site, gave me a hug, but got pushed away rapidly by me shouting 'you stink of machine oil' then running hastily to the loo ....

The no-sickness window did last long enough for me to have some lunch - and the tesco delivery van has been, and I've had a pack of mini-pringles .... and there's now chocolate in the cupboard AND ds has baked cookies with the childminder today, and I've just had one, and they're delicious!

Got to go, I haven't checked my underwear for at least 30 minutes!

lissielousknockedupatlast · 02/02/2007 18:27

pmsl, dh asked me why i keep going to the loo and i had to say "hormons" he already thinks im nuts

Flossam · 02/02/2007 18:34

Sorry I will stop thread crashing in a mo - DP has said to me several times 'I'm sick of seeing you inspecting the crotch of your knickers!'

tinytotmummy · 02/02/2007 18:39

Really bad ms today. Have thrown up approx six times and feel constantly queasy. Had to get up in the night to be sick as well, as DS was sleeping with me as he has a really bad cold, which makes his breath stink! Yuck

We are having a weekend away with some friends and not really sure what to do about the alcohol predicament. We have always drunk a lot when we all get together, so they know it will be really out of character. They are also very generous with buying drinks. Not really sure how to get round it without telling them

tinytotmummy · 02/02/2007 18:40

love the name change lissie

Curlygirly · 02/02/2007 18:58

Have just added myself to the list. I'm not even 5 wks yet but look sooo pregnant. Already been rumbled by one friend and there was no way of denying it. Got rid of all my maternity clothes last time though.

MrsMcJnr, symptoms of an ectopic that I had was a very very severe pain (doubled over) in the left side of my abdomen. Sometimes there is bleeding with that, and also a pain going into the left arm apparently.. but i didnt have either of those.

lissielousknockedupatlast · 02/02/2007 20:31

lol curly, glad im not the only one with a bump. i was the same with ds tho, was in maternity clothes from 10w

KezzaG · 02/02/2007 20:37

Evening all, Im so glad to see this list growing and growing.

Congrats to you lissie, such good news.

I have been really busy today doing park, cooking, shopping and general playing with ds that my kc activity has been less than usual. Quite nice really, we are all going to end up with chaffed thighs from all the up and downing of our knickers!!

So, the upshot of my funfilled day is that I am knackered again so just a flying visit before Ugly Betty then bed for me.

All this talk of 6 babies and twins has made me feel even more tired.......

lissielousknockedupatlast · 02/02/2007 20:41

lol, itll reach the point where we'll be asking strangers to check out knickers for us, for a 2nd opinion

KezzaG · 02/02/2007 20:43

is the stranger checking when our bumps are too big to see ourselves? LOL, Im sure you could get arrested for stuff like that

lissielousknockedupatlast · 02/02/2007 21:10

yes

Sneaks · 03/02/2007 00:02

Why is there knicker checking going on ? Dare i ask?

greedyforbabies · 03/02/2007 12:05

i love your new name lissie!

OMG! do you know HOW much effort i went to last night to conceal my pregnancy!!!????
i decanted a bottle of shloer into a jug and left it until it had lost its fizz! then i got an old empty bottle of white wine from our recycling bin and srubbed it clean and poured the flat revolting shloer into it! i really think i managed to fool them! dh panicked me at one point by telling me that my friend was drinking my 'white wine'! i thought my cover was blown.........but it turned out she was just having some water in her wine glass and my dh is so stupid he couldnt tell the difference!

my scan is at 3pm on monday lissie. i am quite nervous, but my bleeding has almost stopped now, in fact i would just call it spoting now.

greedyforbabies · 03/02/2007 12:34

do you know what? i have just been to the loo again for the millionth time this morning and i would love to get back to good old 'wipe and drop!', rather than 'wipe and look!'..............do you know what i mean ladies? i know you do mrs! and you too lissie!

StrangeTown · 03/02/2007 14:06

Hello Everyone - well, I couldn't decide wether to join the Hut of Doom or this thread, but in the spirit of positivity I have gone for this one. I had pos test today, no idea of due date other than early Oct. Am absolutely cr*pping myself at the moment, much knicker checking, glad I am not alone on that one girls. Had a m/s Sept last year, no kids so far, 35, Lancashire.

I really, really hope I get to stay in this club, I have been stalking many of you on the TTC threads, I just didn't post because I was actively trying not to get my hopes up and become a mess over TTC.

Great news about your tests Lissie - I am so pleased. ST

Sneaks · 03/02/2007 15:00

Seriously is someone going to tell me what the knicker checking is for?
Am I missing something..

greedy thats a good idea about the wine.. I must remember that :D
But you could also get a sparkling wine bottle and just have the Schloer as sparkling..

Oooh or that AMé stuff would that work?

being sneaky is fun

MrsMcJnr · 03/02/2007 15:44

Hello all! Pregnant body does not like bacon even grilled it with toast! Oh well. Nice to feel sick though, I know you?ll understand what I mean by that! I?ve given in and am wearing my sports bra today ? I have just had to admit that all my normal bras, which now look like half bras, are just not doing their job at the moment.

Just so I know (I?m so new to all of this, this is my first baby) when do I need to have some maternity clothes in my wardrobe ready to wear? I know everyone varies but I don?t want to wake up one morning and have to go to work in tracky bums because nothing else fits! Guesstimates of how long I have to buy some would be great!

Congratulations Curlygirly !

Sneaks ? I hoped you would say that about the pain in ectopics, that?s what I would have imagined, absolute agony, most people know there is something badly wrong don?t they? My GP was very non-specific about the type of pain and seemed to think any type of discomfort was a source for worry, which of course worried me. When you are as eagle eyed about your body as we are after TTC a while, we feel every twinge don?t we? Even if it?s wind! Thanks for sharing that with me. The knicker checking is us all being paranoid that we?ll see blood and the dream will come to an end. Ame is still isn?t it? I think I?ll use that as my guise!

Greedy ? re the booze, that?s my girl I wonder if you fooled them! Will be thinking of you on Monday, make sure you come back and report straight away. PMSL re ?wipe and drop?! Had a little panic earlier when I thought there was something on the tissue, there was - little dogs, they were on the tissue I had in my pocket to blow my nose that I had discarded at the same time!

Hey Strangetown, congratulations! I for one know how you feel I am still feeling a bit wobbly, until I?m further along and have had the tests and scan I have scheduled I think I will continue to feel that way but this thread is helping me relax so I hope it does the same for you. I keep telling myself, if this little one is fine (and everyday I feel more positive about that) then I don?t want to look back on the magical first weeks and remember them full of fear. Wishing you a very sticky, strong one

Was fast asleep by 9pm, absolutely shattered but only after I had embarrassed myself in front of DH by bursting into tears during Scrubs!

lissielousknockedupatlast · 03/02/2007 15:51

sneaks, knicker-checking is for paranoia!

mrsmcj, ive justthrown up a piece of eggy bread that was ds's lunch. serves me right

StrangeTown · 03/02/2007 16:05

Thanks MrsMc - your posts are so thoughtful .

I feel exactly like that at the moment, I would love to relax and enjoy this exciting time in my life, but I just can't!
Haven't told DH yet - we are going to a dinner tonight, so will be pretending to drink vodka, lime and soda and I will get him to drink my wine!
