Freak out room for those newly updiffed after MC to hold hands and support each other...

[DachshundsWantPuppies]

Hello!

Newly updiffed and freaking out about spotting, cramping, the wait until your first scan and each little twinge? Settle in for lots of hand holding and supprt until you're ready to move to grads

Good luck this afternoon dachs.

Still here lurking, all going fine as far as I know. Waves to everyone.

HK I love your attitude! Why can't I think like that? After tomorrow I'm definately going to try and adopt an 'everything's still fine unless proven otherwise' attitude!

Hi all (Lots of waving to everyone here from the slightly nervous newcomer!) :)
I POAS last night after coming in from work and wandering if I should stuff the bag of Pork Scratchins that had snuck their way onto my person on leaving the pub. Any got the faintest line after a few minutes (had to put big light on to see properly), then shared the Pork Scratchins with DP in cautious celebration. Didn't have another test so went to Asda at lunchtime and bought CB digi, came home POAS and got a BFP 1-2 weeks!
Am both excited and bricking it at the same time (as I'm sure you have all been through) as MC'd in November without knowing I was PG. So I know the circumstances are very different this time and am trying to stay positive but needed to tell all. It's not gonna be easy keeping it a secret, my social life is based around alcohol, I have several birthday's coming up including a night away in London, that I'm gonna have to not drink on. And for me that will be so unusual. Any secrecy tips anyone?!?!?

Hello Onions and congratulations! Wishing you a very sticky bean this time around. My best 'non-drinking drinking' tips are G&T (without the 'T' obviously), purple grape juice in a wine glass - looks indistinguishable from red wine, diluted apple or white grape juice for white wine (though the last two are easieir to pull off if you're entertaining at home rather than in a bar), virgin mojitos (seriously yummy!) or 'virgin' versions of any other cocktail (as long as the normal version isn't pure spirits). Hope that helps!

Welcome onions , pull up a beanbag & make yourself at home :)

I highly recommend lime and soda. Looks very like gin and tonic.

Thanks wombie 6+5 today!

onions welcome - G&T without the T might taste good but I think you'd be better off with a G&T without the G

Could also have coke and pretend it's a vodka and coke, but not sure whether you're also avoiding caffeine

Also if you're with DP you can order a glass of wine, pretend to take the occasional sip so it looks like you're drinking and then hand over to DP when their glass is empty and get them to get another round in! Looks like you're drinking that way, but you need a DP who will play ball

D'oh!!! Dachs you're totally right Can I blame preg brain please??

6+5 today - wow! Time seems to fly when I think about the rest of you - funny when it seems to be going so slowly for me! I'm keeping everything crossed xxx Make sure you come back and update us

Hi all -
Well another Wednesday rolls up - DS is happily perched in front of Cbeebies while I catch up a bit.
I'm 10weeks tomorrow, which will be the furthest I've got and today is the due date of my last pg/mc. I've had a few teary sessions with DH this week and pretty much feel that I've got passed the anticipation of it, although it may still surface tonight.
I've also given notice at work and things are starting to gather momentum with the big move.

I'm pretty zen at the moment - I think now having a couple of weeks go by since the scan, still a week to wait unless I choose to go before my next consultant appt, means I've had a chance to just try to chill out and accept there isn't much I can do except hold on for the ride. Symptoms are variable - one day completely ravenous, others fairly normal, hugely tired some days, others waking at 3AM. Thankfully no spotting etc, and I suspect with the clexane if there was any bleeding etc it would appear fairly promptly because of the anti-clotting meds.
Anyway I suppose the zen will evaporate as the scan gets closer - I sort of hoped that if something had gone wrong I'd find out by starting naturally, just hate the prospect of being told 'out of the blue' by a sonographer.

All you other wibbling ladies - I do sympathise, it's awful just WANTING to know, and trying to read your body. Especially when you've been let down by signals before. Tough situation for everyone.

orange I missed your birthday but I was reading and hummed a little happy birthday with ukulele accompaniment in my head on the train home yesterday.

hairy I was thinking of you recently too - hope you're doing ok in the circumstances.

Love to everyone else sorry I can't do more individual name checks but got make a start on DS's tea.

Pup2 has a heartbeat!

OMG Yeyeyeyeyeyey!

Did you have a scan? whats going on?

I had scan, pup2 has grown so although smaller than pup1 there are now 2 heartbeats! :)

Oh my god, How incredibly exciting!

Woweeeeeee dachs brilliant news. I did so hope so, but wondered if my optimism was getting the better of me. Also is very good news for fritters about early scans, knowing that 2 eggs put in on the same day can implant and grow differently. So pleased. X

Will catch up more tomorrow, just off out to sit through 1.5 hrs of hell (parents invited to brownies, not sure why...)

Erm, that would be fretters about early scans - oops!

WWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know, I go too the dentist for half an hour and Dachs goes and gets a second BABYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How fabulous!!!

and what about the other issue they were checking on Dachs all okay there too?

I'm kind of in shock, but in a good way!

Ladybee big hugs for m/c dd xxx Hopefully getting past this marker will strengthen your zen for the next two weeks leading up to your scan xxx What date is yours? Mine's on Mon 28th (assuming all goes okay tomorrow with my extra viabilitiy scan).

Clot seems to have got smaller and pup1 is much bigger so less of a threat now they think

Emoo have fun (??) at Brownies

Hurrah - doubly good news dachs!! you must be over the moon!! Was your DH with you?

He couldn't get away from work but he's thrilled

Thanks for the advice all and Dachs what great news!! Two little pups playing together in there! :) :) When I was PG with DS I thought I was not as far gone as I was. Remember the MW saying "that's a 20 week uterus or you have twins!" Was still getting over the shock of being pregnant and then got told by MIL that they had a history of twins in the family. Luckily, it was only the one though.
