Welcome Indiegirl.

Glad to know not the only one suffering from gas. Starting to get worried about stomach aches but feel better now that I have read your posts - thanks. Had a couple of generally paranoid days - hope this will pass.

DP being supportive but does anyone find that they can get very bossy - he keeps trying to get me to exercise !! Fat chance !!

Exercise???????

I think making a person is exercise enough thank you very much!!

I'm feeling particularly bleurgh today, but told a good friend of mine last night and she made us all lunch today and generally fussed over me which was lovely

Starting to tell people now I'm in double figures and still feeling crap. 11 weeks on Thursday!

Hi gang,

Since I saw the MW on Thursday I've had a bit of bleeding. Nothing much but then today it has been bright red, and (sorry to be gross!) it's there every time I go to the loo and wipe.

Must admit, being a first timer, I am terrified it means bad news. I phoned the MW and have got a scan booked now for tomorrow afternoon. The bleeding got a little worse, but they couldn't do anything today. I was just told to put my feet up and take paracetamol if it hurts. I've only got a very mild ache, so I'm hoping it's nothing... I guess the answer will come tomorrow. I was hoping at 9 weeks that things would be ok.

Anyway, sorry for rambling on. Just needed to get it out of my system.

Big hugs to all,
Grinningbee

grinningbee- hoping that everything's ok for you. It's still a worrying time until you actually see the heartbeat. Tbh I still panic until I actually hold baby in my arms.

Sending positive thought to you

yes sending very pos thoughts grinningbee.

Aww great to hear your mums on the mend Jackblackroady.

Im back in bed (first day bk in work yesterday after threat'd m/c) and ive got tonsilitus!! great hey? sickness is driving me up the wall...to think you want to be jumping for joy at having another baby but cant see the light at the end of the tunnel with the pukiness!!

take care all xx

Hello everyone, feel better this morning, after reading all your posts (and also getting very cross that nosey next door neighbour came round to complain my son was rude to her son, FGS, they are 12 years old and bound to wind each other up in the playground and she didn't question why I was in my dressing gown at gone 9:30am and not at work, stupid woman)
Welcome Indiechick! I'm feeling for you Kanga! Thanks again for your posts bobsmum and blobsmummy - you two are so alike! I just re-read them and they cheered me up again. Mitchell81 - I am so lucky, work said to stay off until Monday, phew! Grinning bee - thinking of you, fingeres crossed. Anyway, back to bed now for another sleep...

Managed to throw up at dd's nursery, friend mentioned she was having a tapas party at the weekend, just the mention of tapas at 8.15am was enough. When does this vomiting end?!

Hi, not been on for a while, sickness has been awful, its my own fault for saying to someone, oh i'm not as sick as i was with DS, ha ha, then it hit and now it is constant, although I do feel ok today which has really worried me now as i woke up with really bad crampy pain last night, but also have bad wind at mo!! cant wait for scan to stop worrying a bit.
Didnt do very well at keeping it secret, I just couldnt do it, so now thers not many people that dont know, oh well!!
Hope you all felling ok, have to go about to have house invaded by all DS friends and mums, its my turn and I cant put it off any longer!!

Hello girls, just popped in for a little chat(some of you may remember me?) aquababe I am so very sorry that you have lost your beautiful baby, my heart goes out to you. I know it's early days and feelings will be running very raw at the moment but please come and join us over on the conception thread when you feel ready.
(this goes to you to brunnette) There's a lot of lovely ladies over there that have been through what you are currently going through and they can offer a great deal of support. They certainly helped me!
Lot's of love to you Goodcatholicgirl It's lovely to see you back here, I hope your scan goes well on the 18th
I will pop in and see you ladies again soonxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hallo all
been too busy/ tired to get on much recently. I'm no good to anyone after 9pm!
JackBlack - what a shock that must have been - glad to hear your mum is doing OK now.
Fingers crossed for you grinningbee.
Sympathies to all those still feeling sick - I've got a stomach bug now too - grand! I'm on my convalescence diet of poached eggs and tinned rice pudding (not together). Luckily I have 2 days working at home now so no need to go and breathe germs all over students.
Scan next Thurs for the Down's syndrome thingy. Getting quite nervous...
Love to you all and welcome to the newbies! x

Hi everyone.
I'm still feeling sick...horrible isn't it? I've got a scan next friday and am now 12 weeks so hoping things get better soon. I'm sooooooooooooo looking forward to feeling normal about food again and being able to eat properly.

Hurrah - got my dating scan date/booking in appt through! Next Friday at 10:30. Fingers crossed for a flutter!

Got loads of other hospital info too which was excellent including masses of stuff on the hospital breastfeeding policy. Wonder if anyone actually reads it though?

It's the same pack I got when I was pg with dd, but interestingly there's now an extra section for partners to support the mums through breastfeeding. I think this is great, because last time on the postnatal ward I was the only one who left breastfeeding.

First visiting hours the next day all the partners came in (and other family members) and threw out all the cliches "That baby's not getting enough/he's still hungry/what a waste of time/just give him a bottle" and sure enough before visiting was over everyone had asked for a bottle

M/ws had been so great that previous night sitting up with the mums and giving fab advice, but it was all undone because the families just couldn't be supportive.

Rant over

Had some friends over today and before I coudld get to the door, ds had yelled out across the garden "My mum's got another baby in her tummy!!!" Guess I'm telling everyone then

jackblackroady - sorry to hear about your mum, it sounds as if she is on the mend. I used to work on ITU, they will look after her well .

grinningbee - hope you are ok re bleeding. My bf had significant bleeding at 8-9 weeks with both her kids who are now very healthy 1 and 5 year olds. Fingers crossed for you, thinking of you.

Mrsstresshead - yes I would recommend a bugaboo. We have the 'budget' version, the gecko.tbh, the only reason we could afford it is cos we have family working for a well known dept store who got us 25% off, so it was £350. I walk loads and don't use the car much, so it suits us. No good if you use public transport. We have ended up buying a cheap stroller for when we go away as bugaboo takes up a lot of boot space in car. Otherwise, if you can get around these issues then yes, they are fab.

How is everyone feeling today? I'm 10+2 and feel that nausea may be calming down a bit. Still have boobs like watermelons to reassure me that all hopefully still going well. just over a week til scan now.

Nice to hear from Emmsy, we were due the same day before her mc .

Look after yourselves all of you xxxx

Hi folks,

Looks as though I'll be leaving this list.

Just got back from the hospital, and I'm having a miscarriage. They're letting it happen naturally. I've been told to expect blood clots up to the size of my fist!

I could see straight away there was a problem. There was a sac but no visible baby (there was a yolk so it can only have been a week or two). She did say the good news is that my womb must be very strong to hang on to it for so long, as the sac stopped growing about three weeks ago.

Doesn't make it any easier.

It should happen over the next four or so days, then I go back in two weeks to make sure it's all gone.

I had to pass someone in the corridor on the way out carrying a baby... just brought more tears.

Thanks for all the good wishes, and I hope you all go on to have healthy bouncing babies.

Grinningbee

Hi all, sorry for absence, been away for the weekend and had DP at home ill for last few days.

Grinningbee - so sorry to hear your news. How awful for you to come face to face with a tiny one on your way out of the hospital. Look after yourself

Jackblack - hope your mum is ok and continues to make a recovery. Try to look after yourself and your bean at this time too.

Hope everyone else is ok.

grinningbee - so sorry I lost my first at 9 weeks with a missed miscarriage, but waited a month and conceived ds (now 5) straight away. Still think about the missing one though.

Take your time and rest and don't worry about shutting down for a few days. Thinking of you

grinningbee- I am so sorry,you are in my thoughts at this difficult.

Grinningbee - I'm really sorry. I m/c in August at 6 weeks. There is some comfort in that an early and easy-ish (at least physically) m/c is very common and doesn't indicate ongoing problems. Otherwise I wouldn't have got back on these threads so quickly.

Hope to see you back soon too. Take care of yourself, plenty of water, plenty of rest and get some good painkillers in case you need them - some do, some don't, I didn't. Very best wishes. xx

mrsstress - you need a meeting with the most senior person available and they need to explain to the staff the hows and whys and most importantly, the legalities of what a pregnant staff member means.

If you still get a lack of support, take it higher. If you don't you will be MrsExtremelystressead and that's no good for you right now.

Sorry if I sound like your mother. But I am nearly old enough to be!
