Due In December 2007, come over here!

[Caz10]

I hope this works! Here is a new thread as the old one was getting v long.
I hope everyone is doing ok. If I'm anything to go by you will be wandering around queasy and exhausted - isn't this fun?!

Thanks for all your good wishes for my scan. Im really looking forward to it now but HOPE HOPE HOPE its good news.

Im goign on my own, which is a bit of a shame as would be nice to have someone there but never mind.

Hi guys, can I join too. Ive been putting it off as I could be due in November, thats what the Dr says, but taking my mahoosive long 46 day cycles into account I reckon its more like 13th Dec.
Saw a neighbours new baby today, I cant believe that one of them is growing inside me - this is my first pregnancy - if I wasnt feeling so sick and tired I wouldnt believe I was pg at all. Very weird. When did anyone else start feeling that this was really going to happen in previous pgs??

oops sorry

Morning everyone
I havent been on for a few days, had a hectic weekend. It was ds's 1st birthday yesterday so ive never stopped.
I still feel really queasy all the time but have only actually been sick once.
Im hoping i'll get my date through this week for my scan, i just want to know that everything is ok.

Hope everyone else is doing ok

puppydogstails - i was exactly the same with ds and i think many woman are: you just can't quite make the connection between a live, kicking, gorgeous baby and the big bump you're carrying around with you, even when you're feeling the baby's vigorous kicking. It's just weird .... and when the baby's born you stare at it with wonderment and think "are you really mine??"

Thinking of you Pecka.

Will keep checking for news

Morning all and welcome all newbies

awen - ia lso remember you form the ttc threads - huge congratulations and wll done!

Claraq - I'm excatly rhe same - dd almost 19 months and due 7th December! I think 8 weeks is quite a usual time for pg symptoms to start diminishing, so please don't worry!

So much happens over the weekend - a new thread and everything!

Pecka - best of luck with your scan today, have all fingers and toes crossed for you

Puppydogstails - I was the same - not equating bump with baby - for me it didn't really hit home until dd was born so you might have a while to go..

Good luck at work insy -hope you'll be able to access mn there! I'm sure no-one will notice if you take ds with you, maybe just shove him up your jumper and tell everyone you're pg - it would be true and everything

Had a horrible weekend sleeping all morning yesterday and feeling rubbish. Am also craving lemon and sugar pancakes and actually got out of bed to make some last night at 10pm

hello everyone else

Got my scan date this morning - 14th May at 1.50pm

Glad ive got it, but also gutted that its still 2 weeks away!!!

Morning All!
Thanks for setting this new thread up Caz!

Welcome Clara (love that name)puppydogstails, Awen and the mysterious no-namer! So exciting to hear your news.
Thanks to anyone who listened to me moaning on the other thread, sorry I'll try harder to be positive about smells and hair dye!

Glad most people except awen (am at your weight loss and salad eating!) are eating crap, I am a toast monster and need bread every 3 hrs or I die!!

Fingers crossed for you pecka

Everyone have a lovely day

morning morning peeps.

Slight IT issues regarding changing jobs and therefore e-mails but MN not letting me log in to alter details - anyway - Beanstermummy is in fact Beanstermum!!

JARM don't complain about the scan date - I finally got a booking in date of the 14th and the scan won't then be for another two weeks after that at least!! and I'm due 30th Nov!!!! miles and miles away but time is fairly ticking by I suppose - hitting the 9 week mark on Friday was good though.

Niks - you may have guessed from my user name that my little bump was also named Bean and unfortunatley for her it has stuck - even the staff at nursery call her Bean! This one is Button (as it was the only name I've not called DD at some point!)and also non gender specific

Insywinsyspider - not sure on the PND front. In a perverse way I am lookig forward to button arriving so I can have another bash at things - with the aid of hindsight and the knoweldge of things I didn't do last time which may have helped me. Asking for help and accepting that I can't fully control every minute of the day will be a start right down to little things like knowing I can go ut to the shop and will cope if the little piglet cries or needs feeding etc. But, big but, I will take it as it comes - and since my DH is also far more aware of things too I'm really hoping things are better this time. Have heard from friends, relatives etc etc that just coz you get it once it doesn't follow you suffer again.

Anyone else out who had similar? Any hints?

Generally been feeling ok for last few days - crappy last week but then seemed to turn a corner and chill a bit. Work is mad as I'm almost living a double life with two roles to do at the same time - absolutely chaos but the flip side is that no-one else knows what I'm really up to so can sneak home early occassionally!!

Smiles to all the new mummies to be - we may have to do another catch up soon to check who's here and due dates.

Cazzybabs - soooo similar here - evening sickness and craving for Thai and S&V crisps - square ones are my fave at the mo - and off to meet old pal for lunch at Wagamama noodle bar so can indulge in flavours instead of dull old sarnie!

Haven't been on for a couple of days so hello to everyone new.

Pecka - hope all goes well for you today x

Off chocolate myself and had a major craving yesterday for burger king and really salty chips. Usually the thought of BK tuirns my stomach but it was heaven!

Had bad bout of thrush myself (tmi but surrounding area bleeding and agony) and had to go to docs to get treatment. He prescribed one dose of fluconazole and it cleared it up no probs. It says on the packet not to take if pg and was a bit dubious but apparently one low dose shouldn't do any harm.

Jarm have been having felings like that myself. Totally fed up all weekend about being pg. I sometimes feel like all the fun has gone out of my life even though it something I really want. I'm making all the sacrifices and my OH is free to go out and do what he wants. I've spent the whole wkend being a weepy tempremental mess with tears tripping down my face. I really hope my hormones settle down soon!

Morning all, thanks for all your good wishes! No more bleeding (touch wood) although have been feeling a bit heavy around the hips and a little crampy - am trying to stay positive. Have left a message for the consultant this morning to chase up early scan and got a docs appt later.
Pecka - how did scan go??? Hope it went well for you!
Hello new peeps!

Jarm, thats the day before my scan
You beat me to it lol.

Skidaddle, I had an urge for eggy bread the other night so got out of bed to make it lol.

Beanstermum, With my dd I suffered with anxiety. It started about 2 weeks after she was born. The lady who I've been seeing for CBT has now said that she thinks it was more like PND that got undiagnosed.
With ds, I became anxious through the pregnancy and it escalated when I had him. Its still not great now tbh but I am hoping to do some EFT (emotional freedom therapy) to help.

I would say to you, make sure you mention all your concerns to your MW as they should keep a close eye on you through your pregnancy and when you have your baby.
But having said all that, some people suffer with PND first time and dont even get a glimpse of it with their second. Theres no reason why you can't be one of them.

x-posts BeachBunni - I never knew that it could make you bleed! Double strength cream has been keeping the outside bearable but it seemed that once I used the pessary it brought it back everywhere with a vengance! Going to see what doc says later about next step. Am happy to wait until 2nd trimester if necessary as cream seems to control the discomfort well. Is hard for men to understand when our hormones are all over the place I think, I find myself weeping over the silliest things at the moment - and the tiredness doesn't help!

Yeah I've always got it pretty bad. My mum was the same so maybe it's genetic. Good luck with the docs later.

I'm quite terrified of getting PND myself. My doc thinks I may have a slight case of antenatal depression at the minute and has referred me to a CBT so I can learn to cope now before it progresses.

Oh god you guys - even reading all that talk about burger kings and double cream (which would normally make me purr with expectation) is making me feel ill.
After being all "I'm not feeling sick at all" I had a big breakfast on sunday and it made me feel ill all day. I wanted to stick my fingers down my throat and get rid of it all. Now I cannot stomach bread, meat, dairy or anything stodgy or greasy!! So I am on very small and regular portions of fruit and veg - preferably raw - freak woman!!
I keep getting sharp painful twinges in my tummy which is worrying me a little but I am hoping it's just bean getting comfy... Beanstermummy - that is funny!! Meg's tummy nickname was 'saucepan' after a mate of mine called her saucepan lid (= kid).... don't go there. Poor child, luckily it didn't stick (it was a non stick saucepan !!)
I am also having a worrying desire to spring clean my house - everywhere suddenly looks filthy. I thought that the nesting happened later!! I am resisiting the urge to clean though and am instead going to go and read my book in the hammock for an hour and then go to lunch with a couple of girlfriends. Thankfully we're going to a thai restaurant so hopefully I'll be able to eat something.
I have told everyone!! I couldn't wait til 3 months - it was far too hard. I am trying to think that I haven't somehow jinxed myself.
Anyway - nice to meet lots of new people. Fingers crossed for Pecka's scan... x

Well people Im afriad I dont have the best news

The scan showed just a tiny (1cm) empty sac. no yolk sac or foeatal pole. just nothing.

just like last time

they were filling me with the tales of oh you might just be very early but even by my earliest dates and a positive pregnancy test 2.5 weeks ago I should have been well in to my 7th week. the sac was less than 5 weeks. if that were true i wouldnt have even really conceived when i took the first (dark positive) test

so im back in that shitting horrible system of 48 hour blood tests to check hcg levels

im suprsied how devastated i am, cant stop crying i really thought deepdown i would be fine and i really wanted this baby

Pecka, I am so so so so sorry sweetheart.

Not much else I can say.

Thinking of you xxxx

That is so sad - I am really sorry for you. Don't even try to be brave - just have a really good cry and grieve properly. And remember if pure will alone could make you feel better we'd all make it better for you... xxx

I hate this because they havent said to me that its all over but it has to be doesnt it

i wanted this baby so much

me and dh were waiting for scan hoping we would see twins ha fucking ha

Oh Pecka

There is still hope and I'm sure you know that.
Look at what they've told me!
If you were 5 or even 6 weeks, theres a massive chance that they wont see anything. It happens alot.

Have they asked you back for another scan or are you just waiting on bloods?

Oh Pecka, how awful for you. I fully sympathise with you on the 48 hour bloodtest roundabout - it's just awful. Keep us posted hun {{{big hugs}}}

Pecka: big zen hugs from this end of Scotland. Go on and rant, howl or whatever as much as you need to.

Pecka - I can't imagine how you're feeling but huge huge hugs to you (and DH)
