MY god it can! I ended up in hospital with it and this is no3. Never had MS with my two DD!!! Have you any other kids?

sweetkitty · 04/12/2007 12:00

welcome zinnia

I am still feeling dog rough told a few people at toddlers this morning too. Just wish this sore throat would go, I really should phone the GP and make an appointment. The EPU said they send a letter informing GP of my scan but I suppose I had better chase it up, need to get booked in for the booking in thing with the MW I suppose.

Verso · 04/12/2007 12:17

Just a quick update: went to the EPU this morning and no HB. The baby probably died shortly after the last scan. I'm booked in for a D&C (bed space permitting) on Friday. Feels very surreal to be going through it all again

Best wishes to all of you for happy and healthy pregnancies.

lazyhippo · 04/12/2007 12:22

Verso, I'm so sorry to hear your news. Best wishes for the future.

EEC · 04/12/2007 12:42

Oh Verso. How utterly awful. So sorry.

hello lazyhippo and zinnia - congrats. I'm 39 so you're a mere spring chicken lazyhippo.

shrooms - lots of strong healthy wishes for DD. thinking of you.

MrsWednesday · 04/12/2007 12:44

Oh Verso, what a shock. I'm so sorry. Hope everything goes as well as it can do on Friday. So sorry.x

MINNIE1 · 04/12/2007 12:53

lazyhippo
Welcome hope you have a lovely stay.

Verso
So sorry hun, It's horrible to be going through it. Will be thinking of you.

paulaplumpbottom · 04/12/2007 14:44

Oh Verso, I am so sorry. When had you last scan been? I am gutted for you and your family.

Mummywannabe · 04/12/2007 14:46

I'm really sorry to hear that verso, my thoughts are with you. x

santascRUMPELedsuit · 04/12/2007 14:47

VERSO - oh God am so sorry. I know exactly how you feel - I had that at 11 wks with first pg. Thinking of you and sending huge big hugs.xxx

Welcome Jodie, Lazyhippo and Zinnia.

I hope the rest of us are okay pg wise.

I uttterly detest being pg (in the way it makes me feel) but also feel very lucky that we are able to so easily. Am feeling as rough as a Badger's bum today at all you with no ms and feeling okay. Am very tired and trying to entertain Lo as best I can. She has just had her first poo in the potty and it was fascinating to look at! (for her obviously) I am trying to get her used to it so that we can toilet train failry easily/quickly. She is 14 months exactly about 20 minutes ago!

I had my acupuncture last night - it was great, possibly why I am so exhausted today. I haven't been anywhere for the past month now. I am beginning to feel like a hermit - again. My tum is gargantuan today - I am sure in the morning I ahve 1 in there and as the day progresses another 3 have appeared!

I am not sure when I get my scan midwife appointment (GP was rubbish) here. I think I should be due 12 weeks scan the 2nd week in January.

PEACHY - thank you for the link.

Oh well need to go and tidy up lie on my big fat bum watching telly!

Hope everyone else is well.xx

santascRUMPELedsuit · 04/12/2007 14:49

Isaidho ho ho
thanks for putting my mind at rest re hand, foot and mouth. I read that it can cause m/c or deformities sometimes.

paulaplumpbottom · 04/12/2007 14:52

I can't stand all this waiting about!!!! Its driving me crazy. All the things I keep comforting myself with, the heartbeat, making it past eight weeks, it all doesn't really mean anything. I could be just like Verso and not even know it. I hate this. I hate this.

sweetkitty · 04/12/2007 15:00

I feel the exact same paula, even though I had the scan last week and saw a HB I still cannot relax I won't allow myself to even think about this baby until it is kicking me in the ribs.

Verso - I don't know what to say am so so so very sorry life is so shit sometimes

Santa - well done your DD, mine is 22 months I haven't even entertained the idea of potty training, I'm going to maybe think about it next Summer either that she can take her nappy off and potty train herself when she is ready, potty training sucks it's been the worst thing about parenting so far, all teh "do you need a pee" when you are out, "NO" 2 minutes later "Mummy I need a pee" argh so not looking forward to it when heavily pregnant. I'm with you on the feeling rough too.

Got a GPs appointment for next Wednesday when I will be 10 weeks, have decided to call the 8th my due date even though it should be the 9th as my cycles are 27 days not 28 and the baby measured 8+1 at the scan not 8. Asked the receptionist if I needed an appt as the hospital will send a letter to GP telling them about the scan but she said yes I need to see the doctor for the waste of time appt "I'm pregnant" "congratulations when was your last period" "me tells him oh your due X" "OK we will book you in to the MWs" "thanks bye" complete waste of time IMHO.

paulaplumpbottom · 04/12/2007 15:14

I have to wait another two weeks for a scan. Kitty what about you?

sweetkitty · 04/12/2007 15:17

Haven't a clue supposed to have opne at 12 weeks which will be Boxing Day.

santascRUMPELedsuit · 04/12/2007 15:20

SWEETKITTY - I am with you re DR - fecking waste of an appt that someone else could have. Ane they are crap grrr!

PAULA - I know what you mean- it is really scary - the whole time IMO. I think if you have been through mc and are a natural worrier it makes it 10x worse. My gut instinct this time is that everything will be okay though. My first pg was unexcpected and I just felt weird and really really anxious the whole time - this time I am scared but deep down I FEEL everything will be well. What about you - how do you feel instinctively?

paulaplumpbottom · 04/12/2007 15:29

Some days are great and I feel 100% that this is going to be the pregnancy thats successful, this is the one. But then its seems to take so little to shake that confidence. Sometimes I feel like I'm fooling myself and I'll lose this one to. Which is too awful to contemplate as I don't think I can go through losing another. It'll kill me

MINNIE1 · 04/12/2007 15:31

santascRUMPELedsuit
Well done on the potty training.. I find people looking at me when i mention my DD getting a potty!!! I am going to give her a go ASAP and see how it goes.

Congrats bealcain!
There is rarely a good time to be pregnant!

santascRUMPELedsuit · 04/12/2007 18:17

PAULA - if you have had quite a few m/cs surely your EPU should be giving you early scans and keeping a close eye on you? Why don't you have a look at Bach Flowr Remedies or perhaps homeopathy to see if they could help with your fear/anxiety?

Thanks MINNIE1 - I've got 1 upstairs and 1 down to try and catch her if I can! How old is your LO?

Hi bealcain You can still go on honeymoon - just take LO

min912 · 04/12/2007 18:27

So sorry to hear your sad news Verso. I didn't join an antenatal thread last time so I have been surprised to read how many instances there have been of people leaving already.

Very sobering stuff... and a reminder of what to be thankful for in life. I don't meant this as a meaningless platitude Verso, but I'm sure you are far far stronger than you think you are. Right now you are going to be so emotional that of course you can't imagine going through it all yet again, who would?? Try and take it easy for a while and just be kind to yourself.

Congrats tho to Bealcain! Not selfish just practical. I have a friend who got pg the night she and her hubby got engaged and so she got married 7mths gone!

paulaplumpbottom · 04/12/2007 18:40

I've gone private, I'm sure if I called and told hi how freaked out I am he would see me again this week

santascRUMPELedsuit · 04/12/2007 18:46

PAULA Have a think about the complementary things to see if they might calm you down a bit. That is quite drastic if you have felt the need to go private. I have decided to write a letter to my new GP to explain my background a bit, as I felt she was really dismissive and rather judgemental last week. It has been praying on my mind and I see her again next week, so I want her to know that I am not one who goes on medication lightly but I can feel my anxiety levels getting higher and higher already and there is a very long way to go yet!

paulaplumpbottom · 04/12/2007 18:59

Thanks Santa I will look into them. I have alot of anxiety anyway and I thyink this has made it worse.

I felt I need to go private. After all the other miscarriages I couldn't get my Gp or the People at the EPU to care.

This Dr has promised that if I do lose it he will do a full investigation. But he has put me on asprin and has done blood test which nobody else ever bothered to do
