Starting a new thread as we near the 1000 comment mark on the Part 2 one!

It is nearly December and I am sure all we want for Xmas are healthy pregnancies and babies Star

Good luck to everyone still here and so sorry for how many we have already lost on the way Flowers

Here is a new, editable, link for the google Doc Register:

Going to be exciting when the 12 week scan photos start rolling in!

So sorry that you've not had good news today ladies. Thinking of you. Xx

HchyScott · 23/11/2018 17:46

So so sorry to hear of bad news from you lovely ladies today, sending big hugs and love and positive vibes for the future Flowers

blueeyedviking · 23/11/2018 17:48

So sorry to hear about your sad news. Thinking of you all.

AnnaBegins · 23/11/2018 18:08

Oh Betty and twiddle I am sorry.

ratherbe brown blood could be fine. I bled lots with my first. Definitely worth ringing the midwife though or EPU.

We won't be telling anyone until 12 weeks, except my boss, for entirely selfish reasons as there could be some redundancy coming and I want to avoid it, and also so I can plan my return to work as far in advance as possible.

ratherbeshowjumping · 23/11/2018 18:08

@TwittleBee and @BettySw0llocks I'm so sad for you both, what an awful day...
I went into A&E this afternoon as cramping and bleeding was getting worse, they told me there are no available slots until Monday morning (luckily we have our private one tomorrow).
They performed an internal scan (not nice at all) and confirmed there is no active bleeding and the cervix is still closed so could be ok.
Such a worry.

Kentishgal · 23/11/2018 19:52

What a day, I'm so sorry for all the horrible news but have everything crossed you'll all hear something positive.

ReginaPhalange89 · 23/11/2018 20:15

Just catching up with all the updates.
I'm so sorry girls 😟 seems like there's been a lot of bad news today . Fingers crossed for better news at the next scans !

I've had a lot of cramping - more like a feeling of an upset stomach and now I'm worrying too 🙈

RooKangaroo · 23/11/2018 20:25

Fuck guys, I'm so sorry for the scan news today. I feel this thread has had way more than its share of sadness and disappointment.

I'm thinking of you, @BettySwoll0cks @TwittleBee @itslilsebastian X

TwinkleDay · 23/11/2018 20:51

Keeping my fingers crossed for you all with the shit day you have had today. It is still early days so hoping miracles can still continue xxxHalo

StargazyDrifter · 23/11/2018 21:17

Goodness, what a day it's been on here. Just home from work and catching up.

itslilsebastian sorry to hear ☹️ definitely still a chance if 5 weeks, and as Frazzle says LMP can be wrong. Was for me by a week. See what they say when you go back.

BettySwoll0cks very sorry to hear too ☹️ is that confirmed or have you got to go for a re-scan?

ratherbeshowjumping ☹️ I've read somewhere that a big bowel movement after a while of constipation can sort of create more room inside again, and the uterus can then release pooled blood from a while back. Could that make sense for you? And even if not, brown, and even red, blood can still be ok. Hope you get a scan sooner rather than later, clearly still hope if no ongoing internal bleeding.

TwittleBee oh nooooo! ☹️ What a horrible shock after the earlier scan. Be gentle on yourself, still early. You have such a big heart, keep thinking big-heart thoughts towards yourself too.

Thinking of you all and everything crossed for you lovely peeps. Lots of hugs and 🍰 😘 My (now grown up) niece used to say that miracles do happen because they're in the dictionary. Let's go with that tonight.

(Has anyone noticed btw that most food and drink emojis are things we're not meant to have!)

Weight - I've lost almost 4 pounds since BFP, definitely or trying and certainly don't look it (thanks, bloat and boobies 🙄). GP today said it was ok as long as you stay in healthy BMI, which I very comfortably am! Strange to see the weigh go down when I expected up.

Hope the weekend is a healing, calm one.xx

Squ1ggle · 23/11/2018 21:22

My goodness, I'm so sorry ladies, sending you love FlowersFlowersFlowers

ratherbeshowjumping · 23/11/2018 21:27

Hi everyone, just thought I'd update you all - we ended up going back to the hospital as soon as I posted that as was flooding...
I ended up passing what the Drs are sure was our baby. It was really traumatic 😢
I'm home now - we are ok but just upset. Sending lots of love for the rest of you & your little beans z

cathyj87 · 23/11/2018 21:31

Oh @ratherbe I'm so so sorry you went through that, it must have been horrible. Massive hugs. Be kind to yourself.

HchyScott · 23/11/2018 21:39

@ratherbeshowjumping I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through such a traumatic time, take care of yourself and take all the time you need to heal. sending lots of love and hugs x

StargazyDrifter · 23/11/2018 21:46

Oh sweetheeart, that is such rotten news. I'm so sorry. Just no words will do. Take it one day at a time, and then take some more time, take all the time. Tommy's have a lot of useful material online when you're ready, but that's for later. And later still, all of this will start to lift and then it will happen again, when the time is right.

I know it's all just words now, I've been there, it helped me and DH a lot to do something good each time we had a loss, something to put the good back in the world, naive as that may sound. DH gave blood and I did some volunteering. Then it wasn't for nothing somehow.

Thinking of you.xx

xine15 · 23/11/2018 21:47

So sorry to everyone who's had bad news. Take care of yourselves.

@StargazyDrifter I've lost weight too, about half a stone. Trying to check it's ok with the midwife but haven't got through yet. I'm sure it will be fine I have a lot of excess still even with that! Not something I was expecting tho!

Morning sickness is a b*tch. Never quite imagined it would be so constant! But when I do get a few moments where I feel better panic sets in! I can't win.

Sleep well mummies!

xine15 · 23/11/2018 21:48

Oh @ratherbeshowjumping. Sorry I started a message a while ago and missed your post. What a horrible time. Words can't even begin.. Sebding lots of love your way

RooKangaroo · 23/11/2018 21:50

@ratherbeshowjumping, I don't know what to say, I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how that must have felt sweetheart.

Take a good few days off work and look after yourself. There are some really good boards and threads on here, and I know I've found them useful for miscarriages in the past. I hope they can do something for you. 💜

Kentishgal · 23/11/2018 21:59

ratherbeshowjumping I'm so sorry, not sure what to say as nothing seems right, but, as the others say, take your time and look after yourself.

ratherbeshowjumping · 23/11/2018 22:35

Thank you all so much. It's so upsetting but we have each other & that's the main thing.
We are trying to think that, perhaps, our little baby was just too good & too precious for this sometimes rotten world. It's just a thought keeping us going right now.
I'd like to drop in and say hi if that's ok over the coming months, I feel like I've gotten to know you so well & so invested in all of your stories.
Lots of love to all of you 😘😘

AIDE2424 · 23/11/2018 22:39

Aww I’m so sorry for everyone and the news today :(.

I’ve just been on the phone to 111 due to shoulder pain and pain in one side so think it’s a visit to A and E keeping fingers crossed 🤞🏻

ohmybaby · 23/11/2018 22:49

Fighting back tears reading the news on here today... I am so sorry. Sending you all enormous hugs. Sometimes things are just shit and there’s no dressing that up. Just breathe... take your time and allow yourself to grieve and move through it your own way. Each day as it comes. Hope you all have supportive partners, friends and families around you Flowers

If you all want a good laugh at my expense, in other news, I was on the toilet just now for a whole 45 minutes. Gave the phrase full of 💩 a whole new meaning. Friday nights aren’t what they used to be...

StargazyDrifter · 23/11/2018 22:50

ratherbeshowjumping you must absolutely stick around if you'd like to, come and go as you wish, you're absolutely lovely and always welcome. 😊Besides, all the horse talk has become a lovely feature on here (says the person who's always lived in an urban jungle!).

Belmo · 23/11/2018 22:52

Oh god ratherbeshowjumping I’m so, so sorry.

Thinking of everyone who is having a shitty day today ❤️

StargazyDrifter · 23/11/2018 22:54

ohmybaby I am now both crying and laughing!
