Due In New Year - other thread got too big!

[pussycatmomma]

Hi ladies cant post a link to the other as apparantly it is too big to accept new messages....but this is the new one anyway. Will just copy and paste my last message on the old thread...hang on...

Spud01, Awen, Moominmonster and Housemum ((hugs)) to you all thank you so much for getting back to me. Having written the post I had a big fat cry feeling helpless, DH was lovely and we went to M&S to buy chocolate muffin desserts. It is so good to hear you've had this too. I've never wished for nausea before! This first trimester really isn't easy is it? I can't wait for some form of proof everything's ok but next appt for scan is 2nd July so a way to go yet.
So I will try not to think about it (yeah right ) and thank you all again - if I could mke you all a nice cuppa I would. Am so glad you're all there!

Have a lovely weekend to everyone xxx

hello ladies, went to doc yesterday so now need to call midwife next week. they want to see you early here too, changed since having ds last year.
have sent off prescription form and form for scan to hosp.

becky, i wish i didn't feel so bloated & burpy which are my main symptoms, oh and tired. tho some days are better than other and i don't think 9 weeks is too early for symptoms to calm down. right struggling to make sense as ds is wailing and wandering about wanting lunch, better go.

waves to everyone, kt

Spud01 - started a thread for your questionnaire - hope that is ok here

Hi kt I couldnt believe how much it seems to have changed since have ds - feel like a first timer all over again. Know what you mean about the windy bloatedness (think is all the sprite i drink). ds said i was making all the flies come in the house.

Becky - thanks for the tea

Thx Awen thats fantastic x

awen, i drink lots of sprite too, got to have something other than tea & water. don't fancy much else.

spud - have also done questions, hope it's ok?

right, ds having nap, really shd get some gardening done...or read book in sunshine...??? any bets?!

Katy1 - good name

Beckyau - I have sore boobs daily but that is the only consistent symptom I have. Other changes tell me I am pg - darkened nipples with bumpy bits(!), changes in appetite, not fancying alcohol, lethargy and what I can only describe as a nesting instinct - not feeling like going out. I recognise many of these symptoms from my pg with ds and am hoping that is a positive thing. I also have a sensation down there - a feeling that something is there and I know what spud meant when she said she remembered feeling empty after m/c. The feeling I get there is the same one that made me test. That's why I could never be one of those women who find out 3 months into the pg. No nausea as such. Moody - yes but that could be worry. Scatty - yes but that could be due to preoccupation with the pg and worry about outcome. One thing I know, we cannot compare our symptoms to those of other women as we are all different. Enjoy your muffins and try to enjoy the weekend with your lovely dh. It is a very worrying time but you will get through it. We all will.

Hi everyone. I see my worries about not feeling pg, apart from my fat tummy (looks pre period water retention) and slightly bigger boobs that usual, are the same as everyone elses! I'm home alone for a week as DH is in Ibiza on a stag do and it's just giving me too much time to think and eat I have an immense appetite at the moment and I think I will have to go out for the afternoon just to get away from the fridge! Anyone else eating for England??

Yep. Maybe that's why I'm not getting much nausea

Plummymummy - thank you.

We are telling my mum about the pg tomorrow. We were going to anyway as a birthday present for her (just know she's gonna cry!) but also, as an ex GP she may be terribly useful from time to time. Hurrah for mums xxx

yes awen, solid, timeless, short & easy to spell!

well, i have a v bad headache now, have tried 4head but it wasn't working so have taken pills. hope it goes soon, ouch!

have fun telling your mum becky. we told my mil on her birthday, she cried. well she's cried about every grandchild so far!

right, really tired, must force some dinner down before crashing, dh back tomorrow, i've made it on my own! though he's off again from mon-wed at work, boo hiss.

hope everyone's well

my sickness has started already was hoping i wouldnt get it
im 9wks on monday going to see midwife on wedsnday then hopfuly she will get me my 1st scan im just hoping thats its not too long to wait

has anyone thought of names they like i have my dp keep saying im doing his head in as have ages to go men hey!!

just popping in to say how delighted I am to have reached 7 weeks, 2 days and not have had any bleeding

Woke up this morning and am bleeding. Not huge amounts on the pad but enough to turn the water in the toilet bright red which was a shock! EPU say they don't do scans at the weekend. I had a scan on Tueday where they said the baby was implanted too low and might not "stick" so am worried now.

It doesn't hurt though - where does it hurt if its a miscarriage - is it like period pains?

And its bright red 'thin' blood, like when you cut yourself not like a period IYSWIM. Sorry if TMI!

Oh fruitful - sorry if my post now seems tactless. I was just so happy to have got this far cos have never got beyond 6 and a half weeks without bleeding. Ok........it doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong. That's the first thing to say. It might be to do with the low lying implantation. Can they bring the tues scan forward to tomorrow. It's good that you have no pain. I bet you are in bits. Why do these things always have to happen at the weekend

My m/cs hurt like a period but the initial bleeding was slight and didn't hurt. I got mild cramps though.

I will prob be able to get a scan tomorrow. They said a doctor could examine me today but he won't be able to tell much will he?

The bleeding has all but stopped but there was a huge clot, 50p size. Aaggh I hate this.

Dh says I should go to bed and read through all the Harry Potter books; I think this is probably a good plan!

I agree. Lie down and don't do much. Thinking of you x

Fruitful - so sorry to hear you're having a rough time. I think bed and boks and tea and biscuits is the order of the day for you. Try to relax as much as you can. I'm thinking of you x

Oh fruitful well I can just echoe everyone elses best wishes. Get your feet up immediately. MCs arent always painful either. When I had mine it was like mild period pains and not much more. I realise that isnt much help but I realy hope all is well and you get your scan tomm

Fruitful was to see that you were greeted with bleeding this morning. Fingers x'd for you that it is all ok. What time is your scan tommorrow? Sending hugs, your dp is right, lots of rest for you today x

omg fruitful, i know you prob arent reading this you will be resting, but i just want to send you (((hugs))))) I so understand how you are feeling. The bleeding you have exp sounds v. similar to what i had last week,and i was terrified of something being wrong. My bleeding was watery red but no clots. I hope you get your scan very very soon. Just remember most times it will be ok and that lots of ladies get bleeding in early prg. I foun tht when i read all my prg books it seemed v. common. As prg ladies we just remember all the times we have read about it and miscarriage followed, because we are naturally scared, and we remember the bad bits. For what its worth the lady at the epu told me there could be up to 4 different reasons for bleeding in early prg (dont ask me what they are now, cant remember) but only 1 of those means loss of the baby.
Good luck sweetheart, impossible i know but try not to panic, we are all thinking of you

Yes that's encouraging pussycatmomma. Also I bled with ds on an off for several weeks but all was absolutely fine. Infact some mners have said they bled with each successful pg and not with their m/c. It's a minefield isn't it.

I feel so awful for typing that initital post this morning It has taught me a major lesson.
