ALL NEW - Due in December!

[JARM]

Over here girls - sorry for the abuse on the last one, but this is the happy one!

Lets get started!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. No more spotting since this afternoon, so fingers crossed.

Hope you're ok Pecka.

MrsDarcy, really pleased to hear the spotting has stopped, hope you are ok and staying positive.

Jarm - is your pain after you've stood up or bent from your hips then stood upright? I had a similar pain with DD and once this time as well and MW had said I needed to stand up more slowly , I hadn't hurt anything but to prevent it happening.

Pecka, sorry you are very nervous at every twinge - I think it's natural to worry and hope we can all provide support for one another to reassure as much as possible.

Caz10 - yes more gassy over here too, why is that?! Very painful sometimes as well but I'm finding peppermint tea is helping.

Mad4girls, wow a scan at end of May will be great. Lovely that you've seen the MW already must make it all very offical.

I found out today that a friend of mine that I met after having DD is 6wks pregnant

Hope everyone else is doing well. I've just had a massive pang of excitement visualising Christmas 2007 and pray we're all holding our wee precious bundles.

Hello, gosh I've missed loads too been tired, working, stressed, sick.... the usual then

Lovely to hear your news furryfox!
Sorry that you're feeling panicky Pecka

So Hope everyone who's sicky sick sick is feeling a bit better. I'm definitely better if I remember to EAT!

I really need to get to bed don't I?!Look at the time!

I've got a scan at the end of May too! Can't wait!

Hope everyone has a good week

I'll pop by soon

PS Aww lucy that is a lovely thought

I meant to tell you yesterday.....I hardely ever get MS on a week day. Yes I am getting evening sickness and all day weekend sickness but NOT midweek ms...till yesertday. AND I had an inspector in 1st thing! GREAT - wasn't the best lesson ever but certianly not the worst and he was impressed with what my TA was doing!

And the inspector was gorgeous! (mind you he would be even better if he gave my lesson an outstanding or good)

Moring all,

Mrsdarcy - great news - so pleased for you

Pecka - hope all is well - i think a one-off pain is generally nothing to worry about. I had some quite severe abdominal pain (doubled up in pain for a while) at the weekend which went away and no blood so I am assuming it meant nothing..

Cazzybabs - glad inspection went OK

Lucy - that is a lovely thought, all of us with tiny babies on Christmas day - apart from insy who will still be pushing

Hello to everyone else

Morning everyone

Please remind me of this when I'm saying I don't have any symptoms - today I feel very nauseous but toast and marmite seems to be helping. Bleugh.

Not looking so good here. I have more bleeding, this time bright red blood with clots so I'm assuming the worst. I don't really want to go to hospital - is it ok to just let things take their natural course or what?

Anyway, I'll let you know how things turn out but in my heart I know it's over.

Good luck to the rest of you. x

Mrsdarcy

I really dont know if your supposed to go to the hospital or not, i personally would or at least call them so they can check you over.
Im sorry i hope you are ok

i would give them a ring

Mrsdarcy, I'm so sorry - they do say you should go to hospital i think but just do what feels best for now. I'm so sorry XX

MrsDarcy, Im so so sorry You dont have to go to hospital if you would rather not but do think about going if the bleeding becomes very heavy, if the clots are bigger than about a 50p piece, if the pain is severe or if you feel at all unwell.

Oh mrsdarcy. so sorry Go to hospital XO

MrsDarcy , I'm so sorry to hear about the bleeding, try and rest as much as you can and maybe things will be ok.

{{hugs}}

How you doing mrsdarcy?
Have you rang the hospital

Mrs. Darcy

mrsdarcy my heart goes out to you.

can you get to an early pregnancy assessment unit? i was sent this morning following spotting over night. all okay-ish, and they were very, very nice and had plenty of tissues on hand, and plenty of sense and sympathy.

You're all being so kind - thank you.

I'm still bleeding, like a heavy, painful period, and I've passed some big clotty things. I spoke to the midwife who said that at this early stage I can just let things take their own course and most likely everything will come away on its own.

If the bleeding gets very heavy or I have severe pain I'm to go to the gynae emergency room. I want to avoid that if at all possible as the only time I've been there in the past was 3 years ago when I lost a baby at 19 weeks. It's a place I have nightmares about.

So I'll just sit tight and once the bleeding has stopped I'll see my GP to find out if I need a scan to make sure everything has come away. I'm in no doubt that I'm no longer pregnant, so it's just a question of making sure I am safe and well.

I'm really sad and overwhelmed today, and it's physically pretty unpleasant, but I know that I'll be fine. My biggest fears were losing it late on in the pregnancy, or having a missed miscarriage. I guess if one has to have a m/c then this is the way for it to happen - early on and with unequivocal symptoms.

It was a little life that made my DH and I very happy for a few weeks. We have 3 lovely healthy children and every reason to think we can go on to have a 4th - just not this December.

Sorry for the long post. It's time for me to sign off this thread and wish you all lots of luck, happy pregnancies and healthy babies.

xx

Life is poo sometimes isn't it.

I'm sure we all wish MrsDarcy, her DH and DC's all the best - and will keep an eye out for her on future Due 2008 threads.

Anyone any idea what the stance is on painkillers - I've got a splitting headache and would normally slam a few nurofen but not sure? Really just want to go home and lie in a darkened room but have two meetings this afternoon - one of those days for me I suppose.

Tip of the day though - loop a small hair band through the button hole on your trousers then catch it over the button - zip won't fall down then but you won't have do them up all the way feel very bloaty fat at the moment

Oh MrsDarcy you wrote that beautifully. Good luck for the future, hope to see you on another antenatal thread when you are ready.

Thinking of you,

Lucy

mrsdarcy i'm so sorry for your loss. when you're feeling a little stronger you may want to talk to the lovely ladies on the ttc following m/c thread - everyone on that thread has gone through more or less the same thing and they are all very very supportive and understanding.

so sorry again for the loss of your little one x

Im so sorry mrsdarcy
Life is so cruel sometimes it really is.
Take care of yourself.xx

Hello, I'm just watching this thread at the moment as in theory I'm due in Dec but had a missed mc last year and am not counting my chickens yet. Will hopefully be here officially in mid June but I just wanted to say to beanstermum, don't take nurofen. The only safe painkiller in pregnancy is paracetemol. Sorry to be so emphatic, it's just that ibuprofen has been linked to mc so I wanted to post about this.

Mrsdarcy - so very very sorry about your news. Be good to yourself and take things very easy.

mrsdarcy, look after yourself darling, we all hope you are feeling better soon.

Had my booking in appt today, went ok except for the taking blood bit. Student midwife took first lot and during second lot, blood flow stopped and I nearly zonked out. She felt really bad, but I'm dreadful at bloods being taken, I don't love needles but don't mind them, but I always have a bad reaction when bloods are taken! Have to get the rest done at scan. Ooh got my scan date today, 22nd May, so excited, looking forward to it.

Hoping everyone's feeling good / bearing up ok!!

I also had my booking in appointment today. I'll probably get my scan date within the next week or so once all my things have been sent to the hospital.
I have also mentioned that i want to have another cs and mw said that they will probably book me in for one at 39 weeks.
