Shyla that's just rubbish news. 4 mc is something no one should have to go through. I'm so so sorry.

annamama · 25/08/2009 15:25

Oh no Shyla! Don't know what to say, I agree no one should have to go through so much heartache and disappointment. I hope you're getting the best medical help/investigation possible... Thinking of you and Mrs Snow. xx

Shyla so sorry to hear you've lost your baby - 4 mc in a year must be beyond heart breaking...

mumbot · 25/08/2009 15:53

Really sorry Shyla to hear your news, that's so awful

Huge hugs from everyone to you and MrsSnow today x

Dalrymps · 25/08/2009 16:28

So so sorry Shyla . I don't know what to say, 4 MC is just awful for you... Hope you get lots of medical help to try and prevent this happening again. Take care x

PacificDogwood · 25/08/2009 16:56

Shyla, my condolences, too. I have been in your shoes and it is just awful. So sorry for all your losses.
Wishing you all the best for the future.

donttrythisathome · 25/08/2009 18:36

MrsSnow and Shayla, I'm so sorry to hear your news. Take care of yourselves.

Pingpong · 25/08/2009 21:55

Really sorry to hear your news Shyla can't seem to find the right words tonight but you and Mrs Snow are both in my thoughts.

designerbaby · 25/08/2009 22:08

Oh Shyla - that's awful, I'm so sorry. One would be bad, but four is just horrible - especially having got this far.

Hope you're getting lots of love and support.

This is becoming a thread...

MummyElk · 25/08/2009 22:30

mrssnow and shyla - i didn't post for ages because i didn't know what to say - still don't really but I hope the responses you've received here may show you how much we all care and are thinking of you, and if we could help we would. I hope we get to see you on another happier thread with better news soon.
Will leave it at that for tonight - but suggest we post again in the morning with other updates and news then? I agree with db it's becoming a thread and, respectfully, it shouldn't be.
I really am thinking of you both - my heart goes out to you and your families.

A new day and new beginnings, nuchal fold scan later today, am getting quite nervous now.

Arcadie · 26/08/2009 08:37

Good morning my fine feathered friends. Trust we are all well , vom free and ready to tackle another day of making internal organs and fine tuning fingernails. Bring on Wednesday....

Caitni · 26/08/2009 08:37

Morning ladies

Good luck for later today Mumbot. I had my scan yesterday and the nuchal test was fine - it was lovely spend some time seeing him/her wriggling around . Although the baby just wasn't playing ball with posing so the sonographer was pressing my belly a lot...which worked as then he/she started posing brilliantly and the test was done (and got a nice haul of pictures )...but my god I thought I was going to pee on the examining table!

mumbot · 26/08/2009 08:44

Thanks Caitni did your dates come out as you expected? x

MummyElk · 26/08/2009 08:58

morning girls, it's dark and dismal here - summer what summer?!
nothing pg related but can someone tell me what a troll is please? keep seeing it on controversial threads - i get the gist, just don't know exactly.
just managing a cup of tea - first one for a LONG time...

annamama · 26/08/2009 09:28

Morning ladies. I think we all feel the same, very sad for the 2 that had such bad news... and worrying it will happen to us too. But let's try not to worry and stay positive!

Caitni - congrats on good scan! Hmm I'm not looking forward to the full bladder thing...

Mumbot - good luck for yours! Carrie - how did yours go?

Arcadie - excellent that you managed some nice parenting again! I just lie on the floor most of the time next to DD playing and tell her "mummy is sleeping". Sometimes she tries to open my eyes with her little fingers. Ouch.

MummyElk - great news that you managed a cup of tea! I miss my coffee for the "kick", but still totally off it.

Had my legs waxed yesterday. I think my leg hairs must be growing quicker when being pg, it was like a rainforest! I was embarrassed but kept telling myself "I'm sure I can't be the hairiest woman this girl has ever seen"

Good luck with your scan today Mumbot. And congrats on yours, Caitni.

MummyElk, a troll is someone who deliberately stirs up trouble - either through posting a controversial/impossibly sad story and asking for help, or just stirring up trouble on purpose. Some are funny, but one or two have really caused problems with other posters (stalking, etc) in the past. I guess the thing to remember is that Rindercella could really be a hairy trucker called Trevor, so it's as well to be careful what information you give out to people.

I have my booking in appt tomorrow, which I am looking forward to. Only just over 2 weeks to wait until my scan.

Caitni · 26/08/2009 10:01

Mumbot my dates were completely exact (but then I had IVF so know the date of conception)...this was also, er, our third scan . Hope you get a better posing baba than I did!

Annamamma I have heard that hair grows faster during pregnancy, though so far it's just the hair on my head that seems to be growing faster!

Mummyelk hope you enjoyed the tea . A troll is someone who posts something controversial or inflammatory, eg a made up story about something controversial, in order to provoke other peopke into a really strong emotional or whatever response. Seems like it gets shouted very quickly in AIBU by the regular MNters who post in AIBU all the time. But then I have definitely seen troll posts about things like child abuse and things that get people to share such personal details which makes me (and lots of others) very . The general "rule" of t'internet is "Don't feed the trolls", which is why once it's shouted in AIBU people just want others to stop posting on the thread in question. Sorry for the ramble - hope that makes sense!

Waves to everyone else

Caitni · 26/08/2009 10:02

x posts with Rindercella! She sums it up perfectly (and yes, I am also really a 31 year old 13 week pregnant woman...though I do like the hairy bikers cookery show )

annamama · 26/08/2009 10:20

Do people (trolls) not have anything better to do...? I don't read AIBU very much, so I didn't know about trolls. Give us an example? Can I have a guess? "My 2 year old is so naughty, I've locked her in her room all day with no food, but the neighbours are now complaining about the noise, am I being unreasonable to tell them to mind their own business?!"
