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

thanks AandR I can tick the fanjo twinges off my things to worry about list then :)

Pink I have been staying away from the rest of MN, and am really glad to have you guys here Grin

mummyabroad · 27/02/2011 14:22

just want to add, that I have stayed away from other areas of MN, because I expect people to be like that, but I thought the Pregnancy section was "safe" I guess this is why it is bothering me so much, if its not a nice place to post there, where do we graduate too?

Velvet re: food. I eat mixed nuts and dried fruit in little overpriced snack packets Grin Handy to keep in your handbag for then The Hunger strikes.

tunnocks I have the fanjo twinges too, almost feels like things going twang or being in spasm. I also have the pains at the top of my legs, in my groin area. My mum had these too, & said they were due to us both having retroverted uteruses...

Hello to everyone today Smile have to confess to poas this morning, not sure why I did it but it was there taunting me Blush

cep · 27/02/2011 14:29

peers in and whispers is it safe

I hope you're all ok.

i know this is really daft is so early, but already am imagining everything is going wrong. Blush had a little blood last night when i wiped (so ofcourse started thinking was chemical), been getting aches in my stomach (which in my right mind knows everything needs to stretch) got a couple of sharp pains in my back, so naturally have been checking ectopic symptoms on google. i'm going to be insane soon.

cep · 27/02/2011 14:36

sorry xposted with quite a few, i had to stop and vac up as ds had made a mess. Mummya there's a nov2011 thread on antenatal groups i've started chatting on there as well. quite a few of them mc'd in december, so have same kind of fears but are a bit more down to earht than me. Smile More than welcome to join us as is everyone else due in Nov. There are oct buses and other months as well.

AandRMum · 27/02/2011 14:50

Hi CEP lovely to see you here! Know exactly how you feel - blood on wiping, brown goo, pinkish goo etc all seem to be a standard rite of entry into this room - something about preg after mc. aches in stomach (check - there is some major reconstruction going on in my stomach - I have a feeling I am brewing a big one and the renovators are in doing extensions), back ache - check - Others who know more about eptopic will be able to give guidance on what symptoms to look out for but I think it is more severe than an 'ache'. Friend who had one said it was like severe food poisoning.

MummyA the graduates after mc thread is lovely

Velvetcu · 27/02/2011 14:52

I'm not entirely sure which bus I'm meant to be on anyway cep so I'm gonna stay here til my dating scan (and I don't plan on going anywhere after that either!)

nickstermum · 27/02/2011 14:57

abslutely pissing myself.

must own up to having gone and read the Hate pg thread....

The OP sadly i know lives in Cheshire, and is on the aug diffed thread..!

Didnt read the post from pink as it was withdrawn, but be-jesus... Flamed! Some of the rudeness to the replies were just plain UGLY

I am not calling anyone specifically on that thread this name, but MN can produce some very fecking nasty peices of work. My sister has been an avid Mnetter since 06 and recently moved elsewhere for the nastiness some of the threads became. I purposely dont go to the AIBU threads, as some of them can be vicious.

Respect for posting guys... even though i did think initially it was energy not worth wasting, and getting angry for no reason!

mummyabroad · 27/02/2011 15:07

Phew glad you said that Nix I am really regretting posting now, it just seems to make them worse! You are right its wasted energy. I am going to hide thread now and not look at it anymore. (Poor your sis, you do you mean she moved to another website and not her house right?)

AandRMum · 27/02/2011 15:13

Like watching a car crash Nix almost impossible to not look!! Good for releasing a bit of pent up hormone induced anger but I tend to hid in the comfort of these threads and don't venture out often. I actually popped on the thread because of the title "sick and tired of pregnancy' as I remember that feeling very well from the final weeks when you know you are ready to pop as you would do almost anything to get the little begger out - hence the Confused at the actual title and the tone it took on. Chin up MummyA you held your own very well! My respect for you grows on a daily basis!

cep · 27/02/2011 15:16

aandr Thanks, glad to know it's normal. Grin

velvet it's where you feel comfortable thats important. Smile

mummya i'm same a nix i used to go and read the aibu but used to get so shocked by the open hostility of some of the responses, just tend to avoid now.

nickstermum · 27/02/2011 15:17

Website! Lol

I really wanted to post, ESP when the comments about still birth emerged after Louise from grads posted! Maybe I will later, am paying from the tub... A break from bear entertaining, and scrap booking!

Nah, don't regret it ma, I agree peeps need a place for ranting about how pg makes them feel, but to be as vicious as they were was just plain ugly - sadly!

nickstermum · 27/02/2011 15:18

Paying from the tub.... Posting even!!

Velvetcu · 27/02/2011 15:20

what's AIBU??

cep · 27/02/2011 15:21

it the am i being unreasonable page.

nickstermum · 27/02/2011 15:21

Am I being unreasonable velvet

AandRMum · 27/02/2011 15:22

Dangerous place - do not venture there!!!!

AandRMum · 27/02/2011 15:23

Is Bear in there scrubbing your back nix - good photo op.

nickstermum · 27/02/2011 15:27

What with little miss blobby in the bath... I think not! The sight of me ATM is not pretty naked, seem to have cellulite down as far as my knees on the back of my legs and my arse is hoofing! I suppose it has to balance out my belly :)

17 weeks :) xx

mummyabroad · 27/02/2011 15:27

Hi cep! sorry in my Angry over the other thread I forgot to say hello. Thanks for the info about buses etc, will have a look later, though for now I am a bit scared of leaving my favourite threads where all the NICE people are Smile.

hi AandRSmile Thanks. You saying that has taken some of the sting out of it. How are you doing by the way?

Right I have hidden the thread and feel better already. Grin

AandRMum · 27/02/2011 15:37

LOL Grin Have lovely image of Earth Mother Nix - all arse and bump - I am sure if clay could show cellulite those statues would be riddled with it!

All fine here MummyA in state of complete denial, supposed to be working but as you can see not very successfully!!

nickstermum · 27/02/2011 16:02

all arse and wobbly bits more like Grin

AandRMum · 27/02/2011 16:30

There all ready for a new week - here's to good scans and well behaved secretions.

Velvetcu · 27/02/2011 16:32

AandR now I really want a newly baked choccy biscuit!!!!!!

AandRMum · 27/02/2011 16:38

Grin my work here is done! Just consumed a haunch of cheese and more cookie dough than is healthy - hmmm Note to self - should not use BFP as an excuse to eat at will!
