Littlepea - I'm also wishing I had lost a bit of weight before getting pregnant. I am really going to feel that extra 2 stone in the summer and I think it might take ages before I really feel I have a bump rather than just flab. I had started losing weight (lost about 7lbs) but didn't expect to get my bfp so quickly.

HappyTangerine · 03/03/2009 13:49

LittlepeaI'm another one who wishes I'd lost weight before I got pg-too late now tho! Hopefully I won't put too much on-(she says optimistically...). Am already 2-3st overweight and had lost 10lbs before getting pg. Doctor says as long as I keep up the swimming, she isn't concerned. Oddly, the swimming has gone so well that I may be able to stop usuing the evil brown inhaler for my asthma.

Brought lovely new car home to find the locking mechanism on the drivers side door is faulty-not impressed. I feel a trip back to the dealer coming on...

Ah. There's a November thread now. We're proper veterans ladies........

I am now getting really stressed about mmc.My sickness seems to have gone away so not what I am used to.However I have been doing some research and only 1% of preganacies end in a mmc.

I think alot of us are in the same boat lol...the first time round i was 7 1/2 stone, this time im 10 stone (and a little bit!!), but i will blame it on my age ....

BellaCullen · 03/03/2009 17:01

Hi
definitely wish I lost weight before and was just starting to when I got BFP.
I will have my own wedding at end of May so will be a big bride.Am probably crazy to get married while pregnant but really wanted to before baby gets here.And dont think well have much money after and then it could be another few years before we`re able to.Have already been waiting 9 years so just want to get it over and done .Hope that all made sense.

Got quite bad constipation too, never had it before.Maybe thats why my bump looks so big.My friend couldnt believe how big I am already,hope its not twins and just because its the 3rd time round.Got really bad backache and need to be in bed early it helps the sickness if I get lots of sleep.

3 more weeks till scan cant wait.Im sure I could feel it move on sunday just a few small flutters.

X 10+4

Hi everyone

Congratulations Bella weddings are fab - it's 10 years this summer since we got married....seems like an age ago!

Thanks for all agreeing that my mw was a bit of a meany - there's a team of 5 mw's at the surgery so it's unlikely that I'll see her again. I also have a fantastic doctor so I might see her for my checks.

I'm another one with a wedding to attend - 3 weeks before due date (all being well) and DH is bestman - so I'm thinking a tent or similar should do the trick outfit wise!

I threw all my maternity clothes away after DD2 was born because "I was never doing that again" - what a fool!

Xx

Hi everyone

I went for my scan today and not good news. There was no heart beat and they think it died only a few days ago. I am heart broken as this is now the third time in a row! It makes me wonder what is wrong. I really thought it would be ok after seeing the heart beat two weeks ago. I will be referred for testing now. I am just going to wait a while now until i try again as I can't take the heartache.

Hope you all have successful pregnancies and wish you all the luck with your babies once there are born. Thanks for supporting me xxxx

RubyBuckleberry · 03/03/2009 18:36

oh lizzie9442 that's terrible... i'm so sorry! that is sooo ... what a rollercoaster for you - look after yourself... and take your time like you said...

as it is the third time, will they do tests to find out? it might be something they can sort out.

Big cyber hugs?!

LittleMissBliss · 03/03/2009 18:44

So sorry for your loss Lizzie, i hope the tests can shed some light on what the possile problem could be. Best of luck for the future and i hope you get some answers.

littlepea72 · 03/03/2009 19:08

I am so sorry Lizzie, what a shock for you. Life really isnt fair sometimes, it makes me mad to see so many lovely people who would make such good mothers, then to see people who treat their childs like dirt, it doesnt make any sense. Alot of us have been there, though not 3 times, stay with us Lizzie, we are here if you need to talk. Take care xxx

HappyTangerine · 03/03/2009 19:15

Oh Lizzie, I am so, so, sorry. I hope the tests can give you some answers

idreamofbeanie · 03/03/2009 19:16

Oh Lizzie I am so so so sorry . I really hope you get some answers from these tests and this is the last time you have to go through this. Take care of yourself.

Lizzie - oh no, I was wondering only this morning how you were. I am really sorry...

Hattie05 · 03/03/2009 20:26

Hi all.

can i quietly join the thread.

I'm pg for 4th time, 2 beautiful girls, and the 3rd a miscarriage last October.

I think my due date is 30 October.

But i'm very paranoid after having mc last time. I feel very very achey in the stomach and don't recall this from my 2 healthy pgs.

Sorry to those who have suffered mc's.

Hattie xx

MeHimCatBlob · 03/03/2009 20:41

Hi

firstly sorry for your loss Lizzie - i can't imagine how you must feel.

thanks to LittleMissBliss for the abbreviations on the last thread (I dont get on line very often). Still waiting for my MW appointment - after i got back to work from the doctors telling me what i already knew (that I was PG), one of my staff then came and told me his DP had lost theirs the night before at 5 wks. Worst thing is that she had a stillbirth last year. Made me feel pretty guilty about my news which i can't share with anyone.

Not much MS - achy boobs, constant stomach cramps / wind / indegestion or however you describe it and some nusea - think I'm gettingaway lightly really compare to what some of you are going through.

all the best

Lizzie I'm so sorry. Words can't express. xx

Sparklytwinkletoes · 04/03/2009 02:38

Hi guys, random late night posting from me...

Lizzie, so, so very sad to read your news, I can't imagine what you're going through but hope that have some good RL support you through this, and wish you every luck for the future.

I can't sleep, I think I've finally had too much! I've been going to bed at about 8.30 for over a week now so its quite possible!

I came online because I was lying in bed feeling really worried about having lost my nausea, but having caught up on the last few posts, I actually feel a bit better... BellaCullen, I'd forgotten that sleep made it better so maybe that's why its improved

I still have an enormous appetite so maybe that's a good sign too.

Right, I'd best try and get back to sleep, I've got some big meetings tomorrow...

tjtheminx · 04/03/2009 02:49

Thanks Humphrey's Corner, HappyTangerine and everyone else who answered.
Humphrey's Cnr you are so right, a mc really ruins the buzz of the first 12 weeks
Lizzie... sorry to hear your news. It is a really tough time. There are no words.

Anyway I think I feel more pg this week. I have been having abdominal pains every afternoon (er for weeks..duh) which I was putting down to my new fruit and veg regime... but maybe it is something! Also I am feeling very bloated by the time work is finished ( another fact I was ignoring..)

And yesterday I got the most definite sign of all. The tiredness ( I know it's terrible, I feel like I've been drugged. I was in bed at 8 yesterday evening) But i am delighted it has arrived as it is the surest sign yet!

So all we have to do now is wait for the scan... hopefully on the 13th.

Off to bed then

tjtheminx · 04/03/2009 02:51

Oh and I meant to add I have horrendous baby brain.
Sorry if I haven't commented on anyone elses post. It's just that by the time I start typing I have forgotten what I wanted to say

theboob · 04/03/2009 08:23

lizzie so very very sorry

does anyone know how the epu works? , can you just walk in or do you have to be refered?

Cazza28 · 04/03/2009 08:28

Lizzie I hope you will be ok hon, it must be so hard for you at the moment. We are all here for you if you need to chat. Big Hugs and lots of love xx

Welcome Hattie05 hope you have a healthy pregnancy this time.

Good Morning to everyone, hope we are all ok today. I had lovely MS in the shower this morning, just caught me by surprise had to sit down before i fell down.. nice!!

sammysam · 04/03/2009 08:36

Lizzie I'm so so sorry I'm sat in tears reading it....I wasn't expecting that-I was so hopeful for you. I don't know what to say. Take very good care of yourself, take things slowly and I really hope you manage to get some answers x x x

Midwife cancelled yesterday and is coming some time today tbc by phone this morning. I'm tempted to ask if she can listen today but don't know if it is a good idea-if she can't find one (quite likely I suppose) I'll just worry even more. I'm about a stone and a half lighter than I was with dd (and I was within the healthy bmi last time-now i'm just in the lightest healthy bmi iyswim) so there isn't a layer of fat to make it harder.
I might just mention it to her and see what she says. My symptoms have bad days and good days-so i'm always in a state of worry!!! Not too long now til the scan to know for sure I suppose -about 12/13 days.

My sister has just booked her hen do-we are going to Crete on the 17th May for a week-not sure what i'll be by then? Her future sil is a couple of months further than me and i'll also have dd there so I won't be on my own wanting to go to bed early!!! Really looking forward to it though-will be nice to get away and have a bit of sun.

May pop back later once mw has been, take care x x x
