Hi All,

SCANS- I had a scan at what i thought was 7 weeks, turned out I was 6 wk 5 days. Had external one which saw everythign but HB so did an internal and saw the little flashing heartbeat.. Internal ones really aren't as bad as you imagine, i've had loads so becoming quite accustomed to it!

FOOD and DRINK- I gave up caffeine quite sometime ago. DH has a morning expresso and I used to so it was a great shock to the system not to have it but hey i've survived. I do love tea but have managed on Tetley decaff (YUK) and Twinnings BUT the best one I tasted was in a hotel not long ago which was Yorkshire Tea Decaff but can i bugger find it anywhere. Have given up Prawns and things like that and re cheese I keep trying to give it up full stop but everytime I ask for a vegetarian meal at a network do (not veggie but always have veg meal in hotels) I get something and goats cheese or feta as it was this lunchtime...

MS.... still feel ok. Has anyone else had it for 2 weeks and then it totally went? Having my 2nd blood test tomorrow so am a little worried about those results but I am trying to stay positive.

Yeah, internal scans are not that bad. I had a scan every two weeks in my last pregnancy. Most of them internal.

Pinkali - I think Waitrose do decaf Yorkshire tea. I might give that a go, once I decide I'm not off hot drinks altogether...

Me too... i just don't really fancy anything to drink that is hot.

I had an internal scan with DS at 6 weeks as they couldn't see the heartbeat with a normal one - it was absolutely fine. Not much different to having a smear test tbh.

Mad4 - I am actually feeling quite well at the moment so coping with DS is ok (although I am fully expecting this to change any day!). Plus, I now only look after him by myself 1 day a week as I am at work 4 days and DH helps a lot at the weekend - and believe me, whatever anyone says, being at work (where I have an office job) is far more restful than looking after my DS!!

Pinky - I appreciate what you said about welcoming the time in hospital but with DS, the 3 days/nights I spent after the birth just feel like a nightmare now - it ws noisy, as soon as 1 baby stop crying, another one started (which I know that is what babies do ), the woman opposite me kept puking (v loudly) at all hours and at one point in the middle of the night, started drinking a can of pop which made her belch VERY loudly constantly....so all in all, it was not a pleasant experience and I was so so desperate to get home - so that is all that is really putting me off a c-section, but then again, I know people who have had normal births and still had to stay in hospital that long so there are no guarantees are there?

Hi to all the newbies - welcome

Ooh another question; this metalic taste people mention, does it taste a little like blood?

blood does tasty metaly. Like rusty! Im not getting that but i get a wierd watery mouth thing (abit like b4 your going to be sick!)

Don't forget to keep adding yourself to our fun list!!!!

hello everyone! I'm tired!! Have only just got on as am at work today but can't see a post from twinking - has anyone heard anything?

Man, I have been feeling it all day. I work from home a few evenings (hence the late nights) and one day in the office and quite how I am gonna manage to drive home on the M25 later I don't know.

Am knackered and feel sick and everything else!

I had a big bowl of mash today for lunch with babybels - again! How funny that a few of us are in to that!

Food is a abit of a mare as having recently read about 'try to avoid pre-prepared coleslaws, potato salad, re-heated foods, ready-made meals,' etc I was like hmmm, I had coleslaw on Saturday, a prawn sandwich yesterday, yummy squid last week and re-heated a meal yesterday (made sure was hot though).

If I didn't feel faint half the time I guess I'd just stay off all food!

Oh whatever, crack open those peanunts and that sushi someone!

nightmare isnt it roca!! I feel sick then think i need to eat, go to larder and just cant decide what to eat, what i COULD eat. So annoying!!

Well, have spent the day at hospital sitting about waiting for this and that.
A&E then waiting for consultant, then drinking and dying to pee. God that was uncomfortable!!
Scan showed no baby
But lots of other bits
So more waiting about for teh consultant who said he wanted to take bloods and confused me greatly.
More waiting for bloods, then sent a way for a while.
Back to get blood results.
My HCG shoudl be about 6000 they reckined, mine?
32000!!
Not good
Consultant kept saying molar pregnancy? Fancy name Hydatidiform mole.

Seems to be, it began normally enough, but baddies took over and started to muliply, giving lots of PG hormones inc sickness.

I have to go for D&C tommorrow cos if they don't get it all out it coudl get worse and spread through my body creating potential cancerous stuff (possibly, owrst case scenario) Upshot is that he wants it outta me then he can send it for tests to see if it is this hydati thing.
Then I will be placed on a registar and monitored for a few months, up to a year! Until they think it is ok for me to try again.

Rubbish and horrid!
Just wanted to let my body do it's thing and then get on with trying again and forgetting all about it. But no, I will have to wait and be monitored and see what happens

twinkling i am so sorry to hear that.

Thinking of you

oh my goodness - what is all that about? That sounds horrible - oh twinkling am so sorry for you. Make sure you have lots of you time.

Hello again everyone, I only went away for a week and how much have I missed!
I don't know if its ms or a bug but I am so drained atm, not sick just queasy and not interested in food - not normal at all! So glad I didn't get it last time as I was working in a kitchen and could not have done cooked breakfast for 80. DH is working away during the weeks and I feel so guilty that DS is getting a raw deal as I have no energy. Although he had MMR yesterday morning and has been pretty quiet himself since.
I have booking in appt with midwife next weds (7+3)so hopefully will get scan date fairly soon after that

Twinkling- have been waiting for you to post, i'm so sorry
It may be hard for you to pop back but can you let us know how things turn out? via another thread or something?
All in good time obviously {hugs}

Shocked by how much I missed since I started typing at lunchtime before DS woke, twinkling - I'm so sorry, take lots of care of you

twinkling.......however, as you are only 6 weeks would a baby show? I know from other posts that most ladies only see a yolk sac until about 7 weeks plus and then the foetal pole.......Remember what happened to Oblomov....I am not saying the doctors are wrong (sadly) but it might be worth double/tripe checking....

Huge Hugs to you.......xxxxxxxxxx

Oh twinkling so sorry for you. Look after yourself xx

Twinkling - so sorry for you

twinkling, I'm so sorry to hear about what you're going through. I have a friend who had a molar pregnancy 2 yrs ago. It was an extremely difficult time for her and her husband, but they now have (adorable!) 4 month old twins. All is not lost. Rest up, stay strong and good luck xx

Twinkling, I am sooo sorry to hear your news, but also agree with dozymare that it seem rather rushed to have a D&C when babies are often not seen at 6 weeks. and those numbers to me sound good (not that i know a whole lot about numbers). Either way, take very good care, I am thinking of you.

No, I think the are right. The number is waaay to high and with my last pregnancy they could clearly see the yolk sac at 6 weeks, so could I, it was so clear.
The sonographer (right name I think? scanning lady) came highly recommened and commented to me on the fact that there were lots of other things in there, not good.
I guess there is still the chance that all those things are just the remains of a bean. (sorry if TMI or a horrid thought) but I also doubt that cos of my high HCG numbers.
I know there have been other ladies on here, further on than me whos numbers were only about 1700, so 3200 is just too much.
On the plus side, my numbers were so high and I was not sick as a dog, so that was a good thing I guess.

Also trying to be positive, most cases don't seem to be diagnosed until 8 weeks, so the HCG levels will take the full 6 months to be gone. Perhaps, having caught mine earlier, it will be sooner for the levels to drop.
And, my mum reminded me, that I should see it as a gift, of time.
My DD was just so marvelous all day at the hospital. This way I am forced into NOT TTC for 6 months, therefore gaining those 6 months with my wonderful DD.
Along the same lines, I am just so lucky that this has happened 2nd time round and that I have DD at all.

twinkling you are doing really well

off home now

twinkling you are amazing......I am humbled by your last comments. All the best xxxxx
