Due Dec 08: The Third Thread!!!!

[kayzisexpecting]

We completely filled the last thread so I have started a new one!!

I'll have to go get the list.

artichokes sorry you had a miserable time at the hospital. Is there any chance your high BP could've been because you were a little stressed at what was going on?

artichokes sorry to hear you had a rough time at the hospital. Fingers crossed your BP was just high because as rosmerta said, you were stressed. At least they are keeping an eye on you, so if there is a problem they will be on top of it. What a shame you have to wait for the scan.

Southernbelle-I woke up to hear the thunder and thought it was a bomb or something it was so loud.

Minster-people think I am mad when I tell them . Most people have said the usual 'was it planned'. Which of course it was, but I almost feel like I have to apologise for the fact that we wanted another baby. I think because we have a boy and a girl people assume we will stop there.

Verso glad your nuchal went well.
Can't wait to get mine over with on Tuesday.If all is well, think we will have a surprise this time. We knew DS was a boy, and I did miss the big announcement of the sex when he was born

Hello everyone!
Well I had my early scan yesterday at 9+3 and all looked good! Saw a bouncing bean with a heart beat and everything! I know we're not out of the woods yet but feel much happier.
Still pretty sick too but have managed some lunch today and it has remained where it should!
I'm at work at the moment and about to go into a meeting with my boss and I'm going to tell him! Crazy I know but I am so massive its not a joke! People are questioning me and I feel I might as well be honest...I literally cannot look all blank and innocent with this great big football infront of me (especially now I have managed to keep some food down...it seems to have increased a month or two!). Has anyone else got a significant rounding? Or am I just a freak of nature!

Arti sorry to hear about your bad appointment - that must have been so frustrating....I guess one positive thing about having to wait til friday is that you are a few days further in and everyday counts doesn't it. Hope all goes ok....

Hello everyone

Could someone take me off the list please? Scan on Monday confirmed what we already knew, our baby died 3 or 4 weeks previous. We are completed devasted.

As if that weren't bad enough I had a call from my dad yesterday, it looks like the brain tumour my mum has been fighting for 10 months has won. She has days, possibly weeks. They live 550 miles away from me so am flying off tonight on a one way ticket. To deal with this AND a miscarriage at the same times seems too cruel.

Am hoping that things progress naturally with the MC as I am going to have pretend I am still pregnant, so i really need to not bleed like a stuck pig or have REALLY bad pain. Fingers crossed, I think I have had enough bad luck that this one thing goes smoothly?

Am gutted that I have to go away without OH when we need each other so much (yesterday I was woken to the sound of him sobbing in bed beside me).

This is all so hard and I am imeasureably sad.

Very best of luck to you all, I wish you trouble free and happy pregnancies, I was looking forward to getting past 12 weeks and posting a bit more and getting to know you all a little better.

Oh God inspector gadget, I'm so so sorry - completely gutted for you.

Oh Inspector - I can't express how sorry I am for you. That really is too much for anyone to cope with. My heart goes out to you and your DP and the rest of your family.

Oh Insp Gadget, I am so sorry to hear that and to hear your sad news about your mum as well. You must be devastated. I am so sorry this is happening to you. Take care and I hope you can bear to look in and let us know how you are going. I'll be thinking of you at this terrible time.

Artichokes, what a bummer about your morning. Do you think you might have increased BP because of stress / waiting etc? Could you drop a sample of wee into the GP once a fortnight and maybe buy a BP monitor so you can look at it yourself? Is it possible that the protein in your wee today is coming from another, ahem, area? I will keep my fingers crossed that this is a blip and that things will settle down. Good luck for Friday.

Felt good yesterday and early on today, but now tired and headachey again. Am going to get the kids from nursery and then I foresee a bit of quiet time with them in front of the TV. Hope everyone is OK.

Inspectorgadget I am so sorry for your loss and about your mum too - look after yourself and take time to grieve for your baby. {{hugs}}

Inspectorgadget I am so so sorry. I'm also so sorry about your mum. I hope you get some really nice times with her.

Look after yourself.

Inspectorgadget: so sorry to hear about your baby and your mum. It doesn't seem fair, does it? Can you tell your dad about the MC - it is a big secret to have to keep to yourself

Artichokes: hosp sounds a nightmare, sorry your scan was delayed. Could the urine test be due to the sickness? At least they are monitoring you, but I hope it soon becomes unnecessary

I am 9 weeks + and getting a definite bump as well. I suspect most of it is cheese and potatoes. Ages to go till my scan: mid-June.

Inspector Gadget-very sorry about your loss and your mum. Sometimes life just feels very cruel.

Inspector Gadget - so sorry that this is all happening at the same time Take care of yourself.

(I'm MaeWest btw, I'm flirting with a name change...)

Feeling more queasy and tired than last time, am 10 weeks-ish also headaches which someone else mentioned. Saw midwife yesterday for booking and she booked my dating scan (will be about 13 weeks). She seems really nice, experienced etc. Nice and calm - hope she's on shift for homebirth.

Inspector Gadget I am so sorry for what you're going through. Life can be so very unfair sometimes .

inspectorgadget I'm so sorry about your mc & your mum . I hope you have some support and comfort {{hugs}}

Inspectorgadget- Im lost for words and not sure if anything I say will help, but just to say youre in my thoughts.

So sorry InspectorGadget, we will all be thinking of you over the following weeks.

I am so sorry Inspector Gadget, what a lot for you to cope with. I lost my mother 4 years ago and still treasure some of my memories of her last days. I hope you get some nice memories too.

Inspectorgadget - and that your having to deal with this, life can be so utterly unfair at times.

Massive hugs to you and your entire family.

Oh god InspectorGadget, what a nightmare, I'm so soory

So sorry Inspector my thoughts are with you.

Crikey I've been away and come back to find a whole new thread and soooooo many messages!

Becky and Inspector I am so extremely sorry to hear your sad news. Inspector, I can't imagine how much stress you must be under. I lost my mother in similar circumstances a few years ago and that was hard enough to deal with. Take all the care of yourself that you can, under the circumstances.

Artichokes, I had bp problems in my last pregnancy - very weird and mysterious and they never really resolved what it was. I was told it was probably previously undiagnosed essential hypertension (ie I had it all along) because my BP went up too early for it to be gestational. But then it returned to normal after the birth so all very mysterious...

Anyway I was told by my consultant (fairly definitely) that PET doesn't manifest before about 20 weeks and that BP problems before that cannot be caused by PET. It sounds like they are being responsible by monitoring you but I'm surprised they are treating it as suspected PET - unless my consultant was talking rubbish.

I would also second the advice abotu buying a home bp monitor - I am now extremely stressed about the prospect of having bp problems again, which I know is causing my bp to go up in antenatal appointments. It's reassuring to know that it's still normal at home...

Anybody there? I'm at work......feeling pukey! Not actually been sick though so thats an improvement. I can't wait until I can start stuffing my face with chocolate etc....just can't even think about it at the moment! Much much different to my first pregnancy!

Hi Olipop! You may not want to read this if you're feeling sick .... ds managed to get his nappy off & smear poo everywhere. Of course that meant I had puke (mine) & poo (his) to scrub off the floor & sofa. It hasn't been a good morning.

Oh no - you poor thing!! How old is your DS?

I am just toying with the idea of getting some lunch but don't really feel like it.

Just had a meeting with my boss and right at the end told him the news! He said he had noticed and was tempted to say something yesterday but felt he shouldn't! All went very well though and he seemed quite relaxed. I guess as I only do 2 days in a job that has kind of been created to accomodate me and wont need to be replaced, it's pretty easy for them if I go.
I can let it all hang out now!!!!!!
