marmite wanted to acknowledge and say how sorry I am for the loss of your DD. I cannot begin to imagine what you have been and are going through. I am glad that you have felt able to post what has happened to you on this thread and hope that you feel able to continue to do this if you want to as your pregnancy continues. I imagine that this must be a time of huge mixed emotions for you.

welcome to new BFPs - this thread is really getting busy now and its lovely being able to share this time with all of you onliners particularly while virtually no one in my RL world knows

Hi beanieb, am really about you getting your early scan because of the clomid. Evidently they don't bother with that where I am (Bristol) because both this baby and my ds were conceived via clomid.

marmitemonster, I have seen the pics of your dd on your profile page. She was beautiful hun.

OMG! This is why I never visit the AIBU thread! 1 hour of my life has vanished as it kicks off in AIBU!

AIBU

Warning - only visit if you have at least an hour to spare!

dal21 · 27/05/2009 20:25

Xposts again! Sorry Marmite - there you are talking about your DD (and I think you should post some photos if you would like too) and I pop up with some randomness from the AIBU board. Sorry. Comes across as quite insensitive!

Hi,

I would suggest you go ahead with your wedding... are you able to bring it forward? I can understand that you are a little frustrated with not being able to wear your dress, but as has already been said you need to remember what the day is about, I know I am getting married next Thursday in California and i have no idea if that dress will fit, although I am only going to be 7 weeks I am so bloated I feel as though I could explode (Am I the only one feeling like this by the way?)

Re Thailand, the only thing I would say is, is it worth taking the risk? Its one holiday against the next 30 years of your life and your child?

Hope everyone is feeling ok!!

beanieb · 27/05/2009 20:41

kittykat765 to be honest I have just assumed this is why I am getting it early, to check that it's not twins or ectopic as both are more likely on clomid, so am surprised that they aren't offering you one. Were you under the care of a fertility unit or did your doctor prescribe it? I was with IVF Wales and so called them first when I found out I was pregnant.

I hope this doesn't mean I won't get a 12 week scan.

SORRY! Am multi-posting! browsing using my phone and thought it didn't work first time

kittykat765 · 27/05/2009 21:08

marmitemonster so sorry hun. Am apparently joining pepa on the pregnancy brain front, I seem to have confused you with another mumsnetter. Although I am sure your dd was absolutley beautiful as well.

beanieb, with my son I was prescribed clomid from a fertility specialist at the hospital. I didn't get an early scan then (had early scans due to bleeding). This time I went to gp for the clomid. Again I have had no mention of early scan.

I suspect that they may well use your early scan to date your pregnancy and so you may not get the 12 week scan. Could be wrong of course as they may do things differently on your side of the bridge. Here though they used my early scans to date my pregnancy and so I didn't get the 12 week scan and so couldn't get any pics of my son until his 20 week scan.

Hi all, can i join? I am 4 + 2 today - I got 2 bfp's this morning - Faint lines but there! Af is 2 days late now and I 'knew' I had conceived IYKWIM.

We have been ttc for a month! I have an 11mo dd who took 18 months of trying to conceive so I am still in shock.

I havent even told dp that I am pg - I am letting it sink in before telling him. Its nice having a little secret

beanieb · 27/05/2009 21:32

Am hoping I will get a 12 week scan, isn't that when I would be offered testing for things like Downs syndrome?

ClaireDB · 27/05/2009 21:32

Right, time for a wee...

laurawantsababy · 27/05/2009 21:35

beanieb - You should still get a 12 week scan. They cant accuratly measure for dates that early. At least thats what I was told with dd - I have a scan at 7 weeks due to pains in 1 side and still had a 12 week one.

mmm marmite - I was thinking about my maternity jeans today. But it is a bit soon, isn't it?

ILoveDolly · 27/05/2009 22:06

Just a question for you guys - I calculated my edd on the mn due date calculator as 23/01/10, but today my doctor looked at his little wheel thing and said 16/01/10. Surely that's a bit margin of error? Is everyone else sure of their edd?

skidoodle · 27/05/2009 22:11

ClaireDB hurry up the loo, there's a dear, there's a bit of a queue forming out here

LessThanIdeal yes, I'm still breastfeeding and I've been wondering about increased supply as the feeds seem to have increased in duration and that's the only explanation I can think of. I'm planning to stop next week (down to just the morning feed) so I can have some lie ins to help with the tiredness (been up by 7am every day for 14 months) but I'm wondering if the longer feeds also indicate a renewed enthusiasm for it.

londonlottie I meant to say yesterday - Trafalgar is a totally brilliant middle name Don't let the Swiss come between you and a family tradition.

anniemac that is really lovely that your parents kept your brother's memory alive for all of you.

My Grandfather (one of 9 children) had a sister who died as a young child and she is always talked about by her siblings. One of my Dad's cousins is named after her. She was/would have been my great aunt, and she died long before I (or my father) was born. But she is still part of our family.

Obviously very different from your situation, and I don't mean to compare. It just made me think of the impact a person can have on those around them even if their life is short.

Vivclicquot another vote for go ahead with the wedding It will be romantic. Also once you have a baby it will be way harder to organise a wedding than it is now.

One more thing - I got pregnant right after my wedding and if I had had any dreams of wearing my wedding dress again any time soon I would have been sorely disappointed

Now, I was probably more committed to letting myself go than most, but a dress like that sitting in my wardrobe, waiting to be worn, putting pressure on me to get back to my pre-pregnancy body, would have made me cry.

laurawantsababy · 27/05/2009 22:13

I used MN's calculator and another sites one and they are a few days out.

Has everyone been to their doctor? What do they actually do? When I was pg with dd I went because of pains so not sure what the norm is.

ILoveDolly · 27/05/2009 22:55

Nothing! It's just to have you 'booked in' to the system as they have to refer you to the midwife team. My doctor typed a few things into the computor, told me the edd and then told me to come back to see the midwife in a few weeks. End of.
