Shelly miscarrying? NOOOOOOOOOOOO Will look now........

CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 10/09/2005 16:40

I was going to post a really upbeat note before hearing about shelly. I feel so sad for her.Having shared her experience of a stillbirth I cannot believe that life would be so cruel so soon.

Diddle · 10/09/2005 18:53

CP - Have been over to the thread too, its so sad, its tough to see someone who you have supported through this once, go through it again. I think we've all got so close and its hard to see a friend go through this, i hope it all works out for her.
You can be upbeat too, i'm sure shelly would want to know you have some good or happy news

It was your note Diddle that made me laugh re Peter Kay.We often see him and about as we live locally and the places he films at 'Phoenix Club' and others are all around here!!

DH is away so I have remote to myself tonight.Going to pour a malibu and pineapple and eat loads chocolate!!

Can have early night and bed to self.Bliss!!!

Diddle · 10/09/2005 19:08

CP, i haven't had malibu and pineapple for ages, fancy some now, but we're giving up alcohol, or trying to. We were going to the cinema, but after a busy day we're vegging out on the sofa with a takeaway instead.

Enjoy having the remote and bed to yourself

I was only saying to sister today that I dont drink anymore (i have put a lot away in the past to make up for it though)She was buying a bottle of wine to watch X Factor with and I said I cant do the hangovers anymore (not with a toddler up at 7.00am)

So its just the one for me these days

Diddle · 10/09/2005 19:20

dh keeps asking if i want a bottle of blossom hill with our takeaway, i'm very tempted. might just start being t total on monday

OP posts:
CHOCOLATEPEANUT · 10/09/2005 19:22

Have some.I would NEVER drink whilst pregnant but drinking in moderation whilst TTC is allowed especially as its all so bloody stressful.

HumphreysCorner · 10/09/2005 20:16

Here here!

Diddle · 10/09/2005 20:39

well i have my wine now, and totally agree CP, cheers!!!

Cheers everyone (have a glass of banrock station...... well it is saturday night after all!)
Been lurking on and off this afternoon, not had time to post though. CD19 here so wait and see for me.
So so about shelly, really really hoping it is just a case of mixed up dates.....why is life so unfair? Sending all love and positive vibes your way shelly, I know this is going to be a hell of a week for you. Hold on tight to your DH, and you know we are all here for you xxxx

CH you there? Been worried about you, read through the stuff from thursday. Our circumstances are so so similar, DH and I were in exactly the same position, no win situation, one of you has to back down. I was convinced it was going to be me. I wont lie, we very nearly did split up over it. In the end for him it was the thought that if we did split up he would lose our two boys anyway, since they would live with me (he is blind, so having sole custody would be far more difficult for him), and he couldn't bear the thought of being a part time Dad, so all his arguments about not having enough time for our 2 if we had another went out the window. We have been to hell and back this past year, and it's still not perfect, as I'm living in fear of him changing his mind, and he's still in fear of me getting pg and what that will mean for our family, but I think we have reached the best compromise we could in the circumstances. Is your DH really willing to risk his family and your sanity? Sorry if that sounds extreme, but I know that's how extreme it was for us. Hope you can find the strength to talk to each other again. Give it time hun, I know that's such a cliche but everything's so raw at the moment, you need to grieve for your lost one. I know with me it was a case of grieving for what I might never have again. It's such a big big empty void that nothing else can fill , sorry, better stop as I'm getting all emotional now. Just wanted to let you know I'm here for you. I think I've sorted out my preferences, so I can receive CATs now, so feel free to get in touch anytime. Thinking of you, nic xxxx.

Thanks HC . Right back at you ((((((hugs))))) 2 friends pg, thats hard. It will be your turn one day soon xxxxx How are you feeling?

HellKat · 11/09/2005 04:40

Morning my lovelies!!!!!
Yes I know it's bloody early. Too bloody early .
Woke at 3.30 and could'nt sleep so palying internet cards and typing here.
Diddle- Enjoy your wine hun. As CP said, we'd never dream of drinking while being pg but moderate tipples now and then hurt no one! Saying that, I have'nt had any in 2 months! Everytime I've fancied some, had a splitting headache so thought why bother. Definitely next weekend I shall .
Cp- Totally agree about the toddler+hangover= bad combo! I can't drink much anymore (used to rather a heavy boozer) so now 2 is my limit (once in a while it's 3 if it's beer) otherwise I get awful bedspins and getting up at 5am feeling rough as a dogs' backside is not pleasant. So alot easier being a lightweight and sticking to the couple!

I'm trying not to get my hopes built up for testing. Keep having dreams about being pg. I don't think I am (no headaches, sore boobs etc) but tummy's sticking out and gagging at smells. Saying that, I was like that last month when I was due af. So who knows!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Diddle · 11/09/2005 09:38

morning hellkat - you are an early bird today, if i wake up at that time i stay in bed, i love my bed, so warm and cosy, like to make the most of it. As far as dreams go, I dreamt i won the lottery this week and checked my numbers last night and i didn't, so don't read too much into it but there is always a chance.
My wine was lovely, we got the ring 2 out on dvd too, spent most of the time behind my cushion, and we also got the boogeyman, which i will not be watching when its dark, might watch it thi afternoon, i'm such a wimp.

Nicmum2boys- glad you and Dh came to a compromise, now its time for you to be pregnant, i don't think you're dh will be going anywhere.

HC - thansk for the hugs, much needed, very nice sunday morning hug.

Coathanger - How are you today???

How about the rest of you, everything alright??

OP posts:
HellKat · 11/09/2005 09:42

Let me know what Boogeyman's like. I've wanted to see that for a while. Ohhhh I love a good horror!
Watched Hitch last night on sky box office. Really funny!

Diddle · 11/09/2005 09:43

We want to see that too, too many films at the moment. we're hoping to go to the cinema to see red eye today as well

OP posts:
HellKat · 11/09/2005 10:38

That looks good too!
Right off to bed for a nap. Be back later all x

Coathanger · 11/09/2005 11:34

BOO!!!

I'm back. Sorry wasn't on yesterday - SOOOO busy. I didn't get a minute yesterday. Went out last night though, just DH and me for a nice romantic meal, and a coupleof drinkies. Got home and colapsed after just 3 glasses of red (I'm a lightweight too!) Had no kids last night, mum had all 3 overnight, so have had lay in this morning and enjoying the peace. No hangover this morning though which is fab!

I'haven't read shelly's thread yet, will do in a mo.

Awww, your poor puddytat HC, hope he gets better soonxx

CP, HC and Maddy - Hope your not too worn out from all that BDing , keep it up though, yo never know when that little eggie is ripe!!

Maddy - I take it you will be looking for a wedding dress! OOOOO cn I come to help you - love weddign dress shopping!!!!

HK - I'll hold your hand whilst your testing! Never fear Aunty Coathangers here - but don't ask me to hold the hand you peed on!!!(not that you pee on your hand but ykwim!!)

Strike1 - NOOOOOO!! not another bfn! Where is your AF???!!!!??? Perhaps she's missed the train?!

Nicmum2boys - I'm sorry to hear your in this similar situation. It is sooo hard. Not wanting to lose the DH you love so much, but also not wanting to lose the thought of having another littl one to love. Oh, tears are welling... You are right though, it is still early days, and I think a 6 month wait will actually be good for me. I think I was beginning to replace the grieving with the desire for a baby NOW, instead of getting over my loss and then thinking ahead. But it was my way of coping at the time - although I don't want to replace what I've lost, I want to take myself back to that time, PG and happy. But I am willing to wait 6 months if it takes that. I'll CAT you Nic, when I've got a spare mo which are rare these days , but will do it - promise xx

I hope you are all well today. Sending you all big {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

maddyd · 11/09/2005 11:42
