[alphabook]

March 2017 continued!

Thanks Dusty. I will definitely try. It just feels like a lottery with the amount of people I know who have lost. I think I will adopt your approach of what will be will be and try not to think about it!

Good luck louise !

butterpuff that is literally what my mum said (!!) about the bean basically living in a bubble with its own guard against things like good poisoning. Hopefully it is all OK.

Hi all - just thought I'd introduce myself:

Aimee
7+1 weeks with DC #2
EDD 21st March

Currently feeling sick as a dog! No vomiting but constant nausea. Greetings and to all other sufferers

Welcome Aimee - sympathy for the nausea, it's the pits.

Secret now I'm intrigued! Will you be using the Lister Hospital by any chance? I haven't used them before so no idea what to expect.

Secretscaryfriend thats gone quick! As mine are twins i doubt ill make it to 40 weeks so I'm going to be sometime in feb i assume but i like you lot so im staying here 😂

You can tell us all about how gloriously lovely childbirth is before it's our turns Neon!!

omg neon please don't haha. someone gave birth in the front room of a house opposite ours not long ago ( not by choice, the ambulance was outside). It did not sound like heaven but at least that one was over in 20 minutes!

Good luck Louise!

Welcome Aimee, my sympathy for the nausea. I've been trialling a revolutionary new approach called "Don't move and everything will be fine", and it seems to be working for the moment (along with sea bands and homoeopathy). As soon as I get up and move around it all comes back. I'm fine during the week as I have lots of help with DS, get to the weekend when I'm alone with him and I'm a mess again! Still, I'm hoping it'll disappear completely at 12 weeks like last time, and that's less than 4 weeks away for me... counting down the days

Hi. Thank you for all the kind words but I'm out.

Had a scan this morning and there was no heartbeat. Given we had one on the private scan on Friday and then I bled on Monday, and now we have no heartbeat, there's no hope. They're having me back in a week for a rescan as they can't use the private one as an official scan. So they couldn't officially declare it yet but it's another missed miscarriage.

So our holiday tomorrow is also off. Obviously thats only a minor issue compared to another mmc, and I know it sounds stupid to be upset over a holiday as well but we booked it after my mmc in May to have something to look forward to after everything and now even that's ruined.

As you can tell were feeling really low at the moment.

Hope everyone else having issues has better luck than us and gets good news. And to all of you i wish you happy and successful pregnancies x

Oh Cho, I can't begin to say how sorry I am.

Hope the next step goes as smoothly as possible, take care of yourselves the best you can.

Wishing you all the best for the future, really hope your dreams come true soon x

So sorry cho look after yourself.

Cho I am so, so sorry for your loss. It's absolutely heart breaking and so unfair. I hope you and your dp have lots of support. Please do take some time for yourselves, even if you can't get away right now. Don't give up hope for the future.

Im so sorry cho 😞 i hope you have someone looking after you.

Cho I'm so very sorry
Can you rearrange your holiday for another time? Claim anything on insurance? Or just think fuck it and go anyway?!
Hope you have lots of support. Take care of yourself xxx

Oh Cho I am genuinely absolutely gutted for you. I hope you have lots of support around you at the moment. Sending you lots of love and strength

Cho I'm so sorry. Sending you hugs

Thank you all, you're so lovely and supportive. We've told both of our sets of parents now. Mainly cos mine were coming to stay at our house while we were due to be away so it would have taken some major lying to explain why we're still at home if we didn't tell them and I didn't want to do that. The main reason we haven't said anything about ttc and all our problems so far is cos they live in another part of the country, there's nothing they can do, and they'd only worry. We're really close otherwise and I didn't want them to worry about me. They're coming tonight anyway so I will fill them in on the ivf, miscarriage etc.

namechange we could in theory have still gone, the hospital said it was our choice but warned that I could start to mc at any time. I really didn't want to be in a foreign country with that happening and we were going somewhere quite remote with lots of active day trips etc so I just didn't want to risk it despite how much we've been looking forward to it. We've emailed and just been honest with all the tours and most have come straight back and said we can have a full refund. Well be trying to claim on insurance for flights and accommodation. Hope we get it cos we spent a fortune on it!

Cho Glad the tours have agreed to refund you. Hope you can get some insurance money too xxx

I'm so sorry Cho

So sorry cho take time to look after yourself x

Oh cho I'm gutted for you, so so sorry to hear that

Really sorry cho, thinking of you loads :(

I know it's gutting to have to cancel but I reckon you're doing the right thing resting and staying close to hospital just in case you need them.

Big hugs Cho, so sorry to hear your news.

Cloeycat I now live in Essex but all my family are still in Belfast so I have instructed them all to send me boxes over

Oh Cho I am so so sorry to see your update, take it easy on yourselves, sounds like you will have lots of support from your parents xxxx
