Due July 08 - lots of throwing up and a few saucy dreams!

[isaidhohoho]

Hope it's ok for me to start new thread! Old one full!!!!

Pipe - I would be fuming too!

I have been having those saucy dreams - very pleasant !

Thanks SK, that's very kind. We are very sensitive to things going awry in our condition aren't we?! A language barrier is the last thing you need when your waters are breaking, very unhelpful.

How are you feeling? I hope you haven't had anymore bleeding and are feeling positive

I see what you mean Holly it's a difficult one, I would test again tomorrow or the next day I'm really impatient when it comes to testing I would have peed on about 20 tests by now.

frogmarsh - it's a bit of a letdown your first pregnancy you are so excited and expect everyone to be the same (or at least interested) and you see the GO and the MW and they are like fill in some forms come back in 4 weeks and you think "is that it?" I think we have all felt the same at some point. 12 week scan will be great though first chance to see your baby.

No more bleeding since the brown gunk this morning, am still not hopeful as I had brown gunk on and off for about 1 1/2 before I mc last time.

had a vomtastic day
dry heaving in street being a feature
eating helps but not for long
having a party for 90 on saturday
got the skin of my 15 year old to boot
coupled with the sore mouth corners of my four year old

well whoopy -do !

hope you are all well - lookin good kitty!

Great fun isn't it Paula

Just hijacking to say a massive HELLO to Hatrick. Congratulations on no.4! Its Aprilmeadow from the April '05 thread. Pop in and see us if you have 5 mins. Only 4 of us on the April thread

Verso, so sorry to see your sad news. Sending lots of hugs to you xx

I started bleeding last night, not a lot and there is no pain but enough to worry me. My OB said he would s.ee me this morning. I want to go to make sure everythings ok but I'm terrified of going in case of the worst. I won't be able to handle that.

Kitty,
If i were you i would land myself down to A&E and demand a scan. Your worried about your unborn child and you have had bleeding. Your not wasting time. The drunks that go in, when they have had to much to drink is wasting time. Put your mind at rest for the christmas, its a genuine concern you have.
Hope your keeping the chin up hun.

No news to report only i have found a miricle tablet!!! Found it in the health food shop for sickness and it works (for me anyway) Its called Weleda Ipecac 30. put it under your tongue and let it disolve..

found our house was broken into 2 days ago!! They got window open but nothing was taken. I think the dog scared them off. The whole window unit will have to be replaced!! and i dont think one can be got b4 xmas.. It's in DDs aswell!!! Fuc%kers!!!!!

PPP
I had a bleed and everything turned out ok, i really hope its the same with you. Will be thinking of you xxxxxx
Let us know how you get on..

Have been away for a couple of days, back to England for booking in appointment - so much to catch up on...

Holly78 - Have you tested only twice (one + one -)? If so I would trust the positive one, (but do another test anyway). Fingers crossed.

Kitty - I do hope you can sort out a scan somehow. Have you kicked up a right old fuss? Lots of supportive thoughts for both you and PPP.

booking in appointment really is dull isn't it? It's good to get ball rolling, but doesn't really seem to get you any further. At least I know blood pressure OK. Have been having really bad headaches last couple of days - naver normally get them. Any one else? Having real trouble sleeping - so maybe just that.

Thought ms gone but came back with utter vengeance yesterday - not a good day for it -vomiting at airport etc Felt so ill, burst into tears at checkout! Then flight redirected due to fog so had a 3 hour coach journey on top. Exhausted today.

Must be a day for ms I am feeling really rough as well, always worse in the morning when my stomach is empty but the last thing you want to do is eat but I find eating little and often actually makes me feel better, not eating makes me 10 times worse.

No more bleeding back to normal discharge so thats been 24 hours without anything amd trying to keep everything crossed.

A&E is out for me I'm afraid theres no way I can sit there for hours with the DDs I know that sounds like an excuse and I do know I need to get a scan sorted but maybe I am delaying it you know when you are scared to do a pregnancy test in case it's negative, I'm scared to have a scan in case they tell me the baby is dead, I know the not knowing is tearing me apart and I should know one way or the other, oh I don't know I am rambling.

EEC - hope you get the chance to take it easy today.

paula - unfortunately I know how you are feeling, will be thinking of you, hope it's nothing

Minnie - about your house getting broken into, I was really paranoid last night with DP being away usually it doesn't bother me, we have an alarm and good locks but still, the hosue next door always has their hall window open and ladders lying in the garden

Right must go get some housework done before I pick DD1 up from nursery.

glad to hear no more bleeding Kitty - I know what you mean about a and e - I would think it is not worth the stress to wait (with DC in tow) for hours, esp when if it is a mc they will not be able to stop it anyway.

Sounds like it is just an unexplained scare at the mo, so I am sending you positive thouhts.

fingers crossed for Paula too, and hugs to all those still puking! (not too close a hug though - I hate the smell of sick!! )

Well saw the ob, did a scan and everything is fine. The baby looks healthy and was busy doing its Jane Fonda. Wiggly little thing. Heartbeat and all fine. They seem to think its just the cervical erosion you guys were talking about(My fellow mumsnetters are usually right). They said that its usually pink but can be bright red at times.

It could be the same for you SweetKitty. Maybe thats all it is. I hope so anyway. How are you today? I've been thinking about you.

Great news paula bet you are so relieved.

I am going to phone EPAS on Monday and if I can't get a scan I am going to get a private one done.

I am hugely relieved. Going private makes things so much easier. They can't fob you off cause you are aying them. It saves alot of hassle

Hello, I am back! I didn't want to post and jinx it, but not sure if your remember, I had a scan 10 days ago and we couldn't see the embryo. Well I had another one this morning and we saw the baby and heard the HB.
This was the longest 10 days of my life.
I wouldn't allow myself to consider myself pregnant in case I wasn't :-(

Anyway, all is good now so can start planning again.

hijack

just seen some of you have had bleeds and are a bit worried - if you're not going private, then your ante natal department should have an early pregnancy unit (EPU) that you can generally go down to and get scanned and see what's happening. It's not in A&E and they are sensitive to pg women, especially with children!

I'm on the may thread and a number of us had very early bleeds and are ok.

Paula and Brezhette thats fab news.

Fingers crossed thing have settled down kitty and all will be ok for you.

My MS is definately getting easier, just counting the days to my scan on the 3rd Jan.

oh gosh yes that's great news. How very RELIEVING!!!!! Fingers crossed Kitty - let us know the minute you know.

I am flipping from being convinced that there's no baby at all (missed miscarriage) and thinking that I'm either a month further gone than I thought or it's twins. I seem to have rocketed in size and I'm pretty sure I can feel my uterus which I shouldn't be able to at 9+2 weeks. My BIG tiredness dropped off at 8 weeks and I only have the everso very occasional bout of queasiness and tiredness though I don't feel 'quite normal' and still get the pressure and twingy things going on under the pubic bone.

My scan is on the 10th Jan....how on earth can I wait until then??

I thought my tiredness had eased, but this week it has come back with a vengeance.

I keep panicking that perhaps I'm not really pregnant - done about 10 tests!

Keep reminding myself my boobs are bigger, and my belly rounder.

Myscan is Tuesday, so not long now.

Fab news Paula and Breizhette! I'm so pleased for you!

It could just be Christmas, everyone is extra tired in the run up

Hi Ladies,

PAULA - so glad to hear all is well with you and little growing bean.

SWEETKITTY - are you under Greater Glasgow Health Board? I would have thought they had decent EPU services there. It is shocking.
I know what you mean about the scan - I am always really scared at mine too but all this stress must be making you feel even worse. If one of your friend's was going through the same you wouldn't think twice about taking her kids off her hands for a few hours whilst she went to A & E would you? So why don't you just ask your friends for a little help - I am sure they will be happy to help even if they have 10 kids to look after for an afternoon!

MINNIE1 - I will try that I have been taking Nux Vom homeopathic remedy but I will give the tissue salts a try- anything to ease this awful feeling!

I don't know about the rest of you guys in Scotland but I would far rather pay the prescription charges and see the £97 million go to the NHS makes me to hear these things.

BREIZETTE - great to hear your news too.

I have been realy busy the last few days - feeling really sick and trying to clean as the conservatory is finished and the floor is laid - dust everyhwere and Dh's parents coming tomorrow for dinner and staying over.

LO was invited to the neighbours house for her DDs birthday - made the effort to put make up on and do my hair and we were a day early My brain is a spongy progesterone mess! Thank goodness I don't have Uni again until next year!

Had the Drs on Wednesday. i wrote her a letter expalining my circumstances after the last appointment as I was so This time she was fab - apologised to me and was very understanding and thanked me for coming back to see her. The upshot is I am scoring very high on the anxiety chart and slightly high on the depression one. So I am to remain on a small dose of Citalopram. I feel much better about this. Of course no-one wants to take medication whilst pregnant but I was really worried as I could feel myself getting worse over the last 6 weeks and I was terrified about what kinf of state I would be in when LO comes along!

Anyway - another long post for me. Hope everyone is doing well and sending sticky vibes to all.

Paula and Breizhette- thats fab news

Had a shitty day here,
Woke up about 3am with horrible stomach aches. Kinda like period pains.Dozed on and off until i had to get up for work. Continued to have horrendous stomach aches all morning. Almost doubled up at some points.
Eating something for lunch helped for about an hour untill it started again. Thankfully wore off quite a bit to just a dull grumble which i still have now.

Been concerned today that its the start of the unthinkable happening and paranoid everytime I went to the toilet.
Thankfully nothing to report there!

Spoke to a friend who said she experienced the same kinda period like pains which made me feel abit better.

On a brighter note..VERY glad its the weekend as its been a LOOOONG week!
Looking forward to tomorrow night.. meeting our big group of friends in London for drinks.First time we have all got together months so plan to tell them our news!
One couple rang us the other week to announce thier engagement. Cant wait to tell them they will have a LO at their wedding in 2009! So glad they said 2009 and not 2008 as I think we will be rather busy next summer! (DH has been asked to be the Best man!)

So lots of announcements this weekend!

Sorry ladies, turned into a long post
Chez
x

Maybe its just growing pains. I hate that feeling that your period will start any minute

Sorry I haven't posted since the weekend. I've just caught up with everything that has been going on.
pigley cute little bump. I now look about 5 months gone
jodiew79 yes I still check everytime I wipe when I go to the loo. Think I remember doing this last time until I'd had my 12 week scan as I was so paranoid of a MC. Especially as last time I was getting what I now know to be stretching pains rather than pre-af cramps
LOL at the boob and bra discussions
Last time DS just didn't want to know about BF. Tried everything under the sun and when he was 4 days old he was readmitted to hospital having lost 1lb of his birth weight and beginning to go jaundice. The pediatric (sp?) ward got him onto formula straight away and I was trying to express using a pump but was getting very little out. Anything I did get out did go to him and even the meds they gave me to try and restart milk production failed. After 6 days he was a fully bottle fed baby and then there was no looking back. I am prepared to give the BF another got this time, but if it doesn't work then I'm not going to beat myself up about it.
feb great you saw a heartbeat. Sorry to see you leave us.
bealcain you are the fountain of knowledge when it comes to slings! Afraid after the problems with my back in my previous pregnancy I don't really want to be carrying this one around for any length of time more than I have to. Don't get me wrong, I will love picking it up and giving it a cuddle and everything, but when it comes to shopping/going for walks etc, then I will be using a pushchair. It may seem selfish, but I've only just got my back fixed after my spinal surgery in May, and there's no guarantee it won't get messed up again during this pregnancy.
kitty Big hugs and I hpe everything has settled down now. Can't believe the maternity services where you are. It is downright disgusting. I'm very [fanry] for you
Welcome Kezza Holly78
Happy belated birthday Min PPP I hope you are OK as well. Fingers crossed everything is fine. At leat you've had the reassurance of a scan and seen the heartbeat.
Minnie sorry your house got broken into. Luckily they didn't take anything. Worrying all the same
Way to go breizette great news

Sorry this has been such a long post and apologies if I have missed anyone.

TTFN

LLxx

evening ladies no new bleeding long may it continue not feeeling very sick tonight so don't know if that is a bad thing or not

libralady - good to see you

pigley - BREATHE your body is going through the biggest change of it's life it's awash with hormones and has a little parasite taking everything good from you (sorry but a baby is the utlimate parasite apparently0 it's bound to make you feel weird, you will get all sorts of strange aches and pains. Enjoy your weekend.

Santasrumpled - no I'm under Wishaw General EPAS a bit useless I'm afriad just the usual lack of money lack of staff

PTIYPASI - same advice to you BREATHE, I'm sure everything will be fine

Isaidhohoho - good luck with the scan

santapregnantlittle helper - EPAS (EPU) was the first place I phoned they fobbed me off to maternity ward who told me they have no appointments and brown blood is old blood and not to worry about it (mc in August was only brown blood for 1 1/2 weeks ) so don't buy it.

Anyway I'm off to bed in a bit good weekend to us all and the little beans xxx
