Due in June 08 - the rollercoaster continues...

[debinaustria]

Morning everyone

Hope you're all OK today

Deb

I cant see anything Debs

what does it say josey, I just tried the link and it was OK

just got a green square says its playing though, I will try later there is maybe to many viewers?

Hi, can I add myself to the list? I've been lurking for a while but haven't commented yet because I was waiting for my first scan (last friday) as I'm superstitious.

I'm due June 5th, I've a 17 month old son, and I'm turning 31 next month

And I bled all through the first trimester of my first pregnancy. It was really scary and horrible but in the end everything was fine. This pregnancy's been tougher in terms of exhaustion and morning sickness, but much easier in that we're not worried all the time. (Not too much hiking going on here at the moment but I'm hoping for an easier second trimester!)

Welcome Aberdeenhiker glad your not bleeding through this preg and just have the usual sufferings.
Being nosey do you live in Aberdeen? its just Im just outside only moved to this area 6months ago.

quiet on here today!
Just thought I would report my latest drama got a phone call at 5 from the surgery I have a Urine infection yeah!!! bless them they faxed my prescription to the chemist and i picked it up 10 mins later, they also let me off without paying as I havent had my exemption form back yet.
So that explains why I have been feeling so awful, fingers crossed it clears quickly now.

I know no one said this would be easy, but sometimes you do just think give me a break don't you. Josey sorry to hear your news - just what you need not!

Ernest how glad are you it's Tuesday tomorrow - at last! Our booking in appointment!

Josie57 I'm really sorry to hear about the bleeding, I hope you have your epu appointment sorted and within the next couple of days you will see your baby waving to you.

I really thought I felt fine but have felt sooo rough today. I'm looking forward to bedtime!

Josie57 - Sorry to hear about your bleeding - it's so worrying, and so often turns out to be nothing. But you're in a great place here where you'll get lots of support. Good luck for your scan. Re coming home from work, it's hard to decide whether to stay at work (when time can go faster), or be at home, when it doesn't matter if you're not ... wholly ... focused on the task at hand iykwim. I have found it's better to be at work if I can, but that's me!

Josey - uti, that's not even fair play. Hope it gets sorted out.

It seems like second pregnancies are fuller of bugs than first ones. Anyone explain that from an evolutionary standpoint?

Hey Deb. Hey Josie. All's well here. Scan today showed everything passed so I've just got the normal wait for cycle to return. Just trying to find a new thread to hang out on in the mean time. The miscarriage thread is so sad and it's a bit too early for the ttc one. I'll probably just lurk here for a while until I can find a place to land. Wouldn't it be wild if this episode cleansed my body of all the negative stuff and the next go I produced TWINS ?

Welcome Aberdeenhiker

TS - stay with us as long as you like, glad you sound so positive

GA4 and Ernest good luck at your appointments today

Josie - how are you? Is it today you go to the EPU?

Josey - What a bugger an infection on top of everything

As for me I've got a horrendous headache and had it since yesterday, got more snow to clear before we can get the car out to take ds to speech therapy, and today I'm getting ready for my Mum to arrive tomorrow for her 60th Birthday, with my much needed maternity jeans

Take care everyone

Deb

Morning all,

I hope all appointments go well and any bleeding has stopped.

I spent a large amount of last night awake due to DD2 joining us in bed. When she woke us up I realised that my thrush was really painful and found it hard to get back to sleep and then once I had used a pessary and things calmed down I was starving which also made it hard to sleep! I did have time to choose baby names, Peter and Rebecca are the names I like at the moment.

Morning all. Just to say I've added my scan from yesterday to my page. DH insisted on labeling it for our relatives.
Can't stop looking at it!

Wow China how cute I cant wait for my letter to come in the door and tell me when I can see ile bean.

Sick as a dog here MS is hitting my Moring Noon and Night half 9 is a good time it seems plus the shower plug hole is my new friend and talking of Dogs some how I have to find the strengh to Drive 3 hours to a speciallist with my pup wait 2 hours poss leave him for an op then drive home

Also I got the fright of my life this morning one of the side affects of the anti bs is your wee goes a funny colour well it looks like stewed tea and on the tissue looks like blood

Good luck to evveyone today xx

morning all. I'm so sorry there's still sad and scary situations going round. TS I saw your news. I think it's very brave of you to be popping back. Hope you're ok Josie, hope you get an epu appt soon and they can put your mind at rest. Pepper pots, I'm so so sorry. I hope you recover from the surgery. it must've been very scary

Are you back from your appt yet GA4?

I finally had my lst one today. I can't believe how exciting it was, considering I'm a bit of an old hand at it now. When I saw little baby wriggling there I was just so amazed. OMG It's realy and there really is a mini person growing in my tummy. Got a picture so we'll tell the boys at the weekend - have tp wait for dh to come home.

the system here is different. I just go to my gynae each time- so always same doctor, never see a midwife. He'll do a scan each time as well - my next one is 6th dec, the day before I fly out to UK, so hopefully will have some good pictures to show the family.

I want to have a c section, so will be looking at 6th June - he confirmed my edd as 20th June

Josey - wow, the red wee thing sounds a bit scary! Sorry to hear you're still struggling with the MS. I went to get fish and chips on Saturday night and was standing in the queue and I was REALLY struggling to keep it together.

I really hope all goes okay with your puppy and the long drive. I'm such a sucker for puppies.

Ernest - where do you live? Am intrigued by all these different health systems. The NHS is good at some stuff but God they are disorganised. At my scan yesterday no one had written down my appointment and they had two surnames for me and the wrong date of birth on the system!! I had to really put my foot down to get seen - but then the scan nurse was lovely and gave me my pic for nothing. Go figure.

josey, yes I'm in aberdeen, we've been here three years now and I had my son at the maternity hospital here and was really pleased but I see you're looking into a homebirth - I've friends who've done that here too and been really happy. (And glad to hear that it's just a urine infection - as horrible as they are, at least it's easily cleared up and no worry!).

I've had thrush several times while pregnant so I sympathize goingfor3!

Hello everyone.
I am back at work, after my scan. It confirmed my fears, that they suspected at my first scan, done by Kings hospital, 2 weeks ago, that I had miscarried.
I have an preliminary appointment at my local hospital tomorrow morning to discuss when I will have a d&c.
The waiting has been awful, atleast I now know.
Obviously, please take me off the list.
This was just not meant to be, for us, this time.
But I sincerely wish all of you all the very best.

Oblomov, I am so sorry you lost your little baby. Are you feeling (diabetic wise) better now, have your sugar levels even out now?

Hi everyone, sorry not been around for a bit......tired, feeling a bit yuck etc!

TwilightSurfer - I'm so sorry How sad but I'm amazed at how you're dealing with it - I take my hat off to you!! Keep strong and fingers crossed will see you around here again soon xx

Pepperpots - How awful, that must have been such a shock. Sounds like you're very lucky to be here! Try and take it easy though, you need time to heal physically and emotionally! xx

Oblomov - I'm sorry for your loss too I know about the wait and at least you know, that's how I felt after almost 2 weeks of waiting and 1st scan showing nothing, I just wanted to know. Should you be at work? Maybe you should go home and have some time to yourself to grieve?

Had my booking in appointment with the midwife this morning, did the usual urine, blood, height, weight, BP etc and I told her I wanted a home birth which she was fine with. Got to phone scan place in a week and arrange dating scan and then I see midwife again in 8 weeks. That was it really. I just want another scan around 12 weeks as still very up and down about things, keep thinking it's just not going to happen this time, not very positive I know! Anyway, if I get to 12 weeks, I'll stop moaning!

Right, I best go as got quick half hour before next school run and ds wants to try and play chess and toddler mindee needs to practice on the potty!

Catch you all later!

Thanks Looneytune. I figure no sense in wasting time with self-doubt. That's not how babies are made .

Oblomov how are you doing today? {{{hug}}}

Hello all-had mw booking in today, which seemed to go very well. Except for the fact that a trainee took my blood and I ended up having to lie down for a while. Now twiddling my thumbs till the big 12 week scan next Tuesday at Kings. Then another three weeks until next mw appt. Then 23 week scan on 7 Feb. Crikey. It's almost seeming real!

Really sorry for your loss Oblomov, it must have been particularly hard having to wait for that long for confirmation. All the best for you in the future.

TwilightSurfer, glad you are still with us, you are an inspiration! I have just ordered 'Buddhism for Mothers' which looks fabulous.

Looneytune, hope you can stay calm and as positive as possible, remember the hormones are playing havoc with our emotions right now, let alone everything else you have been dealing with recently. I know what you mean though, can't wait for 12 weeks either (this Saturday), have booking-in appt with midwife at home tomorrow and have now made my news public at work and to family, but now keep worrying it was too soon to tell people and I should have waited till 12 weeks exactly ... funny how we build up these milestones for ourselves.

Has everyone now made the pregnancy announcement to family and friends? I thought I had been really quiet this time round but calculated that I have already told about 15 people, the only people who don't know are dp's family and I'm trying really hard not to announce it on facebook before telling them.
