Due November 08 - We're STILL a bunch of worrying fusspots who don't know what we want to eat, but pass us the cheese (and rice if you must ) purlease, while we wait for 12 weeks

[Heartmum2Jamie]

Here's our shiney, new and slightly ameneded thread to reflect our main topic of conversation recently! Really didn't want to mention the cheese and rice in the same sentence, but as it is a favourite with so many of you, I had to add it in, sorry to Hanaflower!

I agree, no feelings are fine. I have had barely any really, certainly not the "touch me and die" tender boobs, the cramping/pulling/stretching or the bone crushing tiredness of my other 3 pregnancies, but the other symptoms I have had are very different to my other pregnancies. It is easy to worry yourself into a tizz, but try and remember it is not good for you or baby. HUGS

If you mean you should be feeling the baby move etc., no, it would be very unusual at this stage. xx

Thank you all so much

Oh no I wouldn't expect it to move yet (well so that I could feel) but i mean my tummy doesn't feel different or hurt. Thank you for all of your support, i Know we are all secret nutters (well some of us less secret just nutty )

Thank you for the link !! xxxxx

Pulease, I am so sorry, there are many of us on Mnet who know how you feel. Everyone is different though and you must be guided by your own feelings - I would certainly recommend a little while off, it is hard to get over and you musn't deny your feelings.

Pinkali - I am 10 weeks today! Feel exactly the same as you, because of previous losses and the fact that sickness has gone, no booby pain, just the odd twinge down below! I have to wait til wednesday for my scan too and have been counting the days - I feel like I might get there and it will have all been a big mistake or it will have stopped growing etc. Still wearing a pad everyday in case bleeding starts - am driving myself crazy! Husband is the same as yours and I don't want to make him worry. I did say after the last scan which was a week and a half ago, "ooh thats good, we have seen baby, now I can stop worrying - well until about a weeks time when I will start to think the worst again!" - he just laughed but I am serious. At least I have a busy weekend which should pass some time quickly but scan isn't until 4pm on Wednesday and I will have to go to work first.

I suppose it is natural - we have been through alot to get here and I am not sure I will ever stop worrying.

is there NOONE out there who feels as bad as me?!?

is there NOONE out there who feels as bad as me?!?

Smiles ... DITTO... We are the same. I think we must almost be setting ourselves up for the sadness we could but may not feel should we get to the scan and not see our babies have grown. I was like you. After each scan I kept saying "right i'm happy now and can relax" but then 2 days later fear sets in. I think because my last scan was 8 +4 and all was fine but since then (and just before) my symptoms seem to have subsided that worries me. I think from this next scan (praying that all is ok) I will try and stay positive and look forward to the rest of the pregnancy. From then on, I suppose it will become more real, our lumps will grow then we'll be like "shit we are actually pregnant". I just pray for us both (and everyone waiting for scans) that our lack of symptoms are us being very lucky and then allow is to be happy for the remainder. xxxxxx

MAD - wish i did (sounds strange but at least it would feel real) x

p.s. I got my appointment through today and it is 11.45 on Wednesday. x

Good luck everyone. I am bowing out of the race. Been in hospital for last 48 hrs news not good.

I am praying for us too Pinkali. You are right, we are edging our bets! When I had my son, I had bleeding to start with and I couldn't believe it when I got to 12 weeks, we decided that at the detailed scan we would find out what flavour we were having so I could give him a name and make it more real, I don't think it ever really sank in until I was huge and fit to burst that I was actually having a baby! I will find out the flavour this time if all is well. The best time I think is when you can feel your bump move and it puts your mind at ease (well a little!!). I am dreading telling people as I can't believe it myself. I have my booking in appointment on Thursday, have been trying to put it off because I was so scared I would jinx myself and I still can't bring myself to put my name and due date on the list!! Definately off to the loony bin!

Sorry mummyhill, wasn't ignoring you, our threads must have crossed. I am so sorry, please take care of yourself.

X

Oh no mummyhill - I'm so very sorry. Lots of big hugs coming your way. Take care. xx

So sorry mummyhill. Big hugs.

I have just got back from my 3rd scan and everything is fine. So, I got the confirmation that I needed.

Pinkali, apart from a tiny bit of nauseau, my symptoms disappeared a few weeks ago. I did have very sore boobs.
Loss of symptoms does not mean anything. Only your scan will confirm. We do understand what a nightmare the wait is though, don't wee everyone

Oh no... So sorry Mummyhill xxxx

Thanks Obs.. xxx

We are the same Smiles (nutters). xxx

I can appreciate it grates a bit Hana. Sorry about that. But as I said, Kings do scan every 2 weeks in early and late pregnancy for diabetes.
And as you said, the diabetes and the comuute to KIngs, is NOTHING to be jealous of.

So sorry Mummyhill look after yourself xx
Great news Oblomov.
Mad4 hugs to you for still suffering so badly - Hope it eases up soon

mad4 - "is there NOONE out there who feels as bad as me?!? "
How bad is it mad4 - tell all and let us atleast give you some sympafy, if nuffink else .

Mummyhill, I am so sorry

Wonderful news Oblomov.

So sorry Mummyhill, xx

Mad4 are you still being really sick or is it more of a general rubbishness? I do really sympathise. I'm feeling much better than last time (no drip for example), but some days are still a real struggle.

Pinkali- I don't think you are a nutter. I think you have been through an ordeal and the concerns you have are quite natural. I wonder if life coaching or some kind of relaxation coaching may help you. I am definitely going to need something similar if I'm to go for this VBA2C.

Yes, I have serached for mad4's post, but am at a loss as to what is causing her 'discomfort'.
Was she having problems with ehr skin ?
Is she nauseous, got discomfort, or just sort of feeling grot ?
Also based on the list, she is due at the end of the month - so she is one of our 'youngest' then ? So she is going throught he worst stage, right now. Last week (week 9) I think, I suddenly felt much , much better.
Maybe it is simply that ?

Just got back from a conference - sad to find bad news for some, I am sorry.

I'm finding it so hard not to tell people - I like to deal with worry by talking to people and keeping quiet at work is really difficult. Plus people keep looking at how large I'm getting (although only 7+4 ). Quite hard at the conference to avoid the 'bad' food (oh that stilton looked so good) and accidentally eat a peanut when I'm trying not to.

But I had a very happy moment when I was looking out of the window at the view and suddenly thought, I'm not alone - someone is inside me. Really amazing thought.

Anyway, have a good weekend everyone and try not to worry - it really seems as though side-effects come and go without it meaning the worst.

Pinkali, when I had my scan today, I told the woman that I thought I was "over-anxious". But I think it is normal, for anyone who has had a mc, or had trouble conceiving. I wasn't like this at all with ds.
I do not think you are a nutter at al. I lost my symptons last week or the week before and that was why I was so desperate for my scan on tuesday( that I couldn't go to bc ds was ill) that it why I re arranged for today.
NOT A NUTTER.
We really do understand
