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.

Lots of love

Hi Bee, just wanted to drop by to say I'm thinking of you. I honestly can't believe this is happening to you again, its is totally unfair and my heart breaks for you. We went through our first and second MCs at the same times, I can't imagine how hard it must be for you to have this happen again. I hope you keep strong and that everything works out for you soon. You've been such a rock to others, everyone is here for you now. Take care pal x

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 24/02/2011 02:09

Oh bee I've only just read this and hope none of you mind me de-lurking to say I'm so very very sorry Sad Sad Sad. I don't know what else to say chica, sometimes words just don't do us justice...life can be so very very cruel Sad

I hope you and dh with your gorgeous ds find the strength to get through, I will be thinking of you both and your beans who have been and will always be such a part of your life xxxxx

OrangeGloss · 24/02/2011 04:19

Bee I was advised to have an erpc due to the size, so I think you are making the right decision. I don't know what else to say in this terrible and unfair situation, except we are here for you if/when you need us xxxxx

Magic8ballhastheanswers · 24/02/2011 04:23

nickstermum · 24/02/2011 06:32

Bee i have posted a couple of times, but your strength is inspiring. Always such a lady and always so gracious & considerate to others. Mothernature can be such a cruel bitch! I am truly truly sad for you and i really hope you get the answers you need. You are right, draw strength from your beautiful son, he will get you through this.

lovemysleep · 24/02/2011 08:54

Ladybee I am so, so sorry that this has happened to you - it's just so unfair. I'll be thinking of you lots, and sending you hugs - please look after yourself.

loola2shus · 24/02/2011 09:05

Lady I am in tears here reading your posts, as nix says you are always so gracious & considerate, even at a time like this. So sorry that this has happened, thinking of you x

banana87 · 24/02/2011 09:16

Ladybee I am so sorry. Look after yourself. Lots of hugs.

PinkFondantFancy · 24/02/2011 10:12

Ladies, I feel a bit insensitive posting about this after lady 's sad news but need a sanity check as I'm worried I'm losing my grip on reality... Has anyone else here turned into an emotional psycho? I had rage at work yesterday and must have taken it out on one guy in particular as he came over today to ask if he's done anything to upset me Blush. Today, i can't stop crying-have to keep going to the toilets for a little freak out before going back to work. I am shitting myself but no more particularly than normal, I didn't think. Maybe not having a scan this week was a bad idea afterall-am stuggling to keep the faith....

lady I'm thinking of you today. Xx

mamapower · 24/02/2011 10:18

pink firstly, it's not insensitive, that's what this thread/we're all here for Smile IMHO it's the hormones love, between week 8 and 12 they are increasing exponentially which is why some women get ms... too much for their bodies to take! It's normal sweets... 'tis a good sign Smile

I had cramps last night and this morning, not as bad as my memory of mc cramps and they aren't lasting too long, perhaps it's just a bit more uterus stretching! Hummm!

digitalgirl · 24/02/2011 10:22

In light of recent events I have become very very scared about my scan tomorrow. Even though I'd thought I'd prepared myself for the worst, I really don't think I have. I should be 6+6 tomorrow, same as ladybee when she saw her HB...so even if all is well I'm clearly nowhere near out of the woods.

OrangeGloss · 24/02/2011 10:27

Pink I felt like that last night but a couple of things I needed to say as didn't want to seem rude! You're not insensitive, we're here specially for your freak outs! I agree it sounds like the hormones, it makes us out of control and tests our sanity. Does he know you're pg? He would understand if he knew but realise you might not want to go public yet

Mamap sounds like stretching to me x

digitalgirl · 24/02/2011 10:30

Am also 3 days away (in cycle days) from when my last mc started. I guess I'll find out tomorrow if its going to be imminent. I have absolutely no symptoms today.

Wombat33 · 24/02/2011 10:46

Hugs to all those freaking out and also to Bee. I hope you're doing okay this morning xxx

No symptoms here either (apart from bleeding and really loud gurgling in my abdomen Blush - anyone had that??). counting the minutes until my scan tomorrow.

Velvetcu · 24/02/2011 10:48

I'm in freakout mode too today! I cried this morning and DH laughed and said I always like to make a meal out of everything! I don't see how I can get through the next few weeks feeling like this I am going to crack up completely!

mamapower · 24/02/2011 11:21

we're a right bunch aren't we hey?!

Thanks orange I am clininging onto that Smile

Velvet crying is an a-typical symptom, you'll get there, if it helps, go get yourself scanned, do whatever it takes to keep yourself sane!

digi try and think positive hon, getting passed previous mc milestones is always a nerve racking time.

wombat abdomen gurgling made me chuckle Grin I am sure that's all to do with the changes going on in there Smile

Wombat33 · 24/02/2011 11:36

Mamap it's like my insides are having a conversation with each other. Weird at home, bad work and mortifying on the silent commuter train to London this morning Blush

Velvetcu · 24/02/2011 11:40

Fellow brown gooers - how much are you getting? I have started writing down when and how much I get (giving me some sense of control) and I always get a blob when I have a poo (TMI!)(which I seem to be doing a lot more often than normal!!) and then another blob before I go to bed. Apart from that, just a few smudges throughout the day.

It's too early for me to have a scan I think. I will wait til 7 weeks since that is my mmc milestone. Only 2 more weeks of mentalling to get through. I didnt even test til 7 weeks last time!

Emoo · 24/02/2011 11:44

Pink - bless you, not insensitive at all. I'm sure Ladybee understands that the rest of us are still just as liable to freak out as ever, and will still be looking for comfort from the lovely ladies on this thread as well - and hopefully we have enough comforting words to go round all of us. About your guy at work - maybe if you feel in retrospect you were unreasonably snappy, a brief apology and explanation that you are going through some personal stuff at the moment and have a short fuse, and it's not anything personal?

Mamap - sorry about the cramps - I'm getting them too - fingers crossed it's nothing.

Digi - I think as we learn more and more about MC, the early scans get less and less reassuring? I did go and wail at the GP yesterday, but she very nicely and reassuringly pointed out that I'd had a scan less than a week ago, and my spotting was very minor, so I didn't get my EPU re-referral Sad. Instead, she told me to go and book a MW appointment, which I've done for Monday . At least if I'm still spotting and cramping by Monday, I can wail at the midwife to refer to EPU again. I agree, the days equivalent to the time of a previous MC are very very difficult.

Wombat - have had the gurgly tummy before, but not (yet) while pregnant! Sending my very best good luck for your scan tomorrow.

Velvet - you WILL get through the next few weeks. Somehow. If DH is being a numpty and laughing at you crying, come and cry here instead. I can't promise you will remain sane the next few weeks, but you WILL be able to pick yourself up and return to sanity somehow, whatever happens. About the brown goo, I personally am getting very little (but that is failing to reassure me because that was like last time), not enough to need panty liner anyway. I wonder if we should pop to the grad thread and ask the established updiffed people what their experiences were?

Ladybee - hope you are doing okay today. xx

Wombat33 · 24/02/2011 11:49

Velvet - mine seems to be a bit radom. Generally more when I'm active and in the mornings and evenings. Not sure there's too much of an identifiable patter really (other than every time I relax and think everything's going okay it starts again!!). Maybe I should follow your lead and keep a note.

notsobarrenmorebrokenbrook · 24/02/2011 11:54

bee my darling, I have just popped over as picked up on your news from the 6th form thread, I am so, so sorry, life is so cruel and unfair. I hope you and your DH are as OK as you can be. My stomach lurched when I read your news. Please don't hide away, stay with us and we will all help you through. Love and hugs xxx
