shiny new thread for us to vandalise

Really sorry to hear your news Freezing and Alys

Apparently one in five pregnancies end in miscarriage, a lot more than you would think.

I will also be leaving this thread today. Had a scan on Monday. There was a 9 week sack and a 6 week baby but no heartbeat. They have assured me there is no hope, but I have insisted on a second scan after 1 week, as before I do anthing I need to be 1000% certain. I've had no bleeding and still feel completely pregnant, but I have had a feeling about this pregnancy from the start.

I know this will be hard for many of you waiting for your scans as this seems to be a more common occurence on this thread than it should be. This was my fourth child and the first time this has happened to me and the first time (amongst all my hundreds of baby friends) that I have come across this. I wish I could reasure you more, just stay positive.

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news, I think your right to wait a week just to be sure. You were due around the same time as me to, big big ((HUGS)).

I'm finding this thread a little scary to be honest. Did you have an early scan date or request a private one?

Oh so much sad news this evening alys freezing smiley So so sorry to hear that your babies didn't make it. There seems to be a disproportionate amount of bad news on here..

issheisntshe I am not allowed to give birth on the MLU which I wanted as I have M.S. (which doesn't affect my pregnancy) and had retained placenta after dd2.

Both times all the way through my pregnancies I was told no to going into the MLU which I thought fair enough until I arrived in labour with dd2 and there was no room elsewhere so I had to go to the MLU. Now that I actually want to choose it I find I'm not allowed!

Anyway 3 more sleeps until my scan on Friday It couldn't be a moment too soon.

Aussie my DH is a black cab driver so he could pick up a fare on the way to hospital in theory.. If he tries to take me by cab I'll make sure my waters break on the back seat

Littlemiss - I talked to my MW about some of my concerns (I hadn't been trying to get pregnant and so had drank copiously at Christmas, eat lots of brie and also had some ultrasound treatment for weight loss). I didn't even know about early scans of the EPU at the local hospital. She referred me because it was my fourth and she seemed to sense that I was genuinely concerned.

sam86 - i have a dec 07 baby too....Evie was born on the 14th.

Gosh I haven't been on for ages.

I am so so sorry smiley freezing alys and anyone else I have missed. It's a horrible thing to see and hear, I had mmc at 12 wks couple years ago, I had requested a scan as I felt things had gone wrong, I was right. Look after yourselves. xx

Am just popping over to AIBU, to check out question re mw.

Who asked if anyone else was consultant care? I am, due to previous complications.

Oh Smiley I'm so so sorry!! Take care of yourself honey xx

Girlsyearapart I'm not allowed onto the MLU or into the birth centre at all. Midwife 'thought' about it and decided I was too high risk. I don't believe I a high risk but I want the best for my baby so I'll go wherever - my opinion was changed this evening when a fiend at work heard me ranting and told me Pontefract Maternity Unit has a birth pool . Fingers crossed I'll get my water birth after all.

I meant friend

Hi All, sorry gave the wrong impression earlier - no scan date but booking in tomorrow which I have to say I am looking forward to as am hoping they will let me know when the flipping scan is! Otherwise I am just going to turn up if not before then end of next week!!!!!!!!!!! I just need to be sure - although I have no reason to believe otherwise apart from my rapid imaginaton!!!!!!

Am now just looking fat - but that could be the fact that I am fat! I fluctuate between total vomitness and exhaustion and sudden moments of being awake!!

Just out of curiousity - I drive quite a lot and I have been having what I can only term as "Funny moments" on the motorway - imagine when you stop very suddenly and your heart goes into overdrive - palpations and breathing issues, thinking I am going to pass out. Funnily only happens on the mway...... Anyone else have something equally as peculiar?

im under consultant care cos i have 2 little bumpettes to stress about.

doodley I had this and then ended up passing out a couple of times (luckily not while driving) Had bloods done on friday and now waiting on the results

Smily freezing Alys my heart goes out to you. I have scan tomorrow and fingers crossed. Especially after stair slide on Sunday.

Caz sam wow that's 3 of us from the Dec 07 thread! I only joined at 16 weeks so missed the early heartbreaks. Was it the sane back then in the early stages?

Watching CBB and eating baskin bobbins rum & raisin! Closest I'll get to a drink for the next 18 mths!

just popping my head round before bed to say how sorry I am to hear about the recent losses, please take care of yourselves and wishing you all the very best of luck with your future jelly beans.

Dito everyone in saying that I'm getting increasingly worried about loosing little bean but what will be will be and there is nothing we can really do about that other than look after ourselves and our little beans the best we can, that's all you can do.

Private scan week tomorrow, can't wait but super super nervous already, trying to take myself to a zen like place, not easy especially since I've just had a brazillian - ouch! Zen+Brazillian don't match, least I feel better for it tho.

love to all you lovely ladies, and special love for all your little beans.

Brazilian MrsZaC ouch!

So nervous today - telling work as soon as my creative director comes in. Think I'm going to either poop myself or vomit. Can't decide. Positive thoughts please girls.

Will keep you posted as long as I'm not marched off the premises...

Well my sickness has well and truely kicked in. Up until now ive felt sick but not been sick. Well that changed at 4am and 5.30am and 6am and 8am then just a few mins ago. was not plesent at all.

Hope all goes well today Blueberries - sending happy thoughts to your director so he smiles and congratulates you

Bunnybaby and MrsZaC - let us know how you get on with your scans - hope all is well and healthy

Only a couple more days til my scan - sooo excited. Definitely think SPD has kicked and sciatica definitely definitely has ouchy!!

poor you starshaker, maybe you'd benefit from those sickness bands that other people have found useful.

Hope it doesnt stick around too long!!

They didnt work last time but will give them another go. Did hope i was gonna miss the sickness this time. I sitting here eating gingerbread men so i have something in my stomach.

Well, one director told, 2 to go! My creative director was lovely. I burst out crying (of course) and she gave me a big hug and said she was delighted, mildly irritated, but delighted!

Phew.

ooops - naughty Kaylo assuming director was a man

Glad everything went well blueberies keep us posted!!

So sorry Alys, Freezing and Smiley, hope that you are all being well looked after. Take care and good luck for the future.

Bouncingblue I love the fact that your director admitted to being mildly irritated - great that she's delighted for you of course! I don't suppose it's always easy for bosses, as there's a lot for them to think about and put into place.

My boss is on holiday at the moment, but I think I'm going to have to tell her when she gets back the week after next. I'm not even 10 weeks yet, but by the end of the day, I look massive! Still sitting by the letterbox for my scan date as well - would rather know that everything was ok before telling anyone in RL.

Good luck to everyone having scans this week, hope all is well. And hope your MS lifts soon Starshaker

I'm so sad to read about all the recent losses, it really is shocking how many we have lost on this thread

I am looking forward to my booking in appt tomorrow because it feels like it will 'start the ball rolling' if that makes sense. I hope I get a scan date soon, I'm 10 weeks this weekend.

Having some really vivid dreams. Last night I had a really detailed one, my dad sat me down and said that he was going to have gender reassignment surgery because he had realised that he was actually a homophobic woman! He actually meant homosexual woman, but in my dream he said homophobic which I thought was funny. He then said that mum had also realised she was unhappy and that she wanted to be a man so she was having an op as well. And that they would be splitting up, and that I needed to have an operation as well to make me into a man! I said 'but I'm pregnant!' and dad said 'I know I'm so sorry, we're all booked in for this weekend...' It was so awful I woke up in a right state! Amazing the kind of dreams you have sometimes!!

yes, naughty Kaylo!
