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

[YourFriendBrian]

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

Try not to fret, you have had scans, bean is fine, placenta will be taking over, if it hasnt already.... and you will be able to relax a bit more xxx

Pink next counselling session is 18/3... same day as my 9 week scan.... I've moved the counselling to 11am from 3pm so that I only have to do one trip to the hospital that day... Particularly as the counselling is in the EPU and if it's bad news at the scan I wouldn't want to have to walk back through the EPU later that day... But I'm SURE it'll all be fine.

Told DS that there was a baby in my belly the other day. He asked me if I'd eaten it. I explained that daddy helped me put it there and it was teeny tiny at the moment but would grow bigger soon. Today he had a listen to my tummy and said he could hear the baby talking :) He knew about the baby that was the MMC and used to talk to it down my belly button. He was really good when I told him that it had gone away and stopped talking about it instantly. So I'm not afraid of explaining it to him if this one doesn't work out too.

Have made blueberry muffins.... proffers tray to everyone... get 'em while they're hot :)

Knitter my DS asked me the other day how the baby got there, and how it is coming out!

My reply... a special egg from mummy, and a special seed from daddy mixed up together and a magic wizard put it in my tummy! Then as to how its coming out.. through a special baby hole near my front bottom

had the most hideous dream last night... hideous and every time i woke up i went back to the same one.. it was about a very late miscarriage.. :( blardy subconscious.

8 weeks today!!

Haven't told ds yet. He's 2.7 don't think he'll get it yet. Plus he hates me holding other babies

Hi ladies, mind if I join? Just had my second BFP after an mc in Jan.

Got pg on my WTF cycle, so no idea how many weeks, CBDigi said 2-3 weeks so approx 4-5 weeks?

Has anyone asked for an early scan to make sure there is something there? Not sure what to ask the doc when I go in a few weeks?

Lol tunnocks I'm having problems remembering whether I've taken my tablet or not too!

Yay Digi on reaching 8 weeks :)

Am on phone so afraid I can't name-check everyone but can I join the lengthy queue to thump wombat's consultant?

Had NT scan this morning & it was lovely! We got to hear the heartbeat, & see all the details. Little sod tyke didn't want to play ball though & insisted we spend 10mins looking at its bottom.

But I bawled like a baby when they told me the results were fine.

Hope everyone's having a fab & relaxing weekend.

Ps i'd agree with the advice to see the most junior dr in the practice - mine wee'd himself with fear when I cried & referred me immediately.

Welcome Hils :) pull up a beanbag and make yourself at home & congratuations!

Some people in here have had early scans, others haven't - depends on how you want to handle things and what does and doesn't make you stressed. Some in here are also having more scans that normal because of IVF, previous ectopic, consultant care etc.

daisybean nice work on the mooning

hils pull up a beanbag and make yourself at home! Feel free to add yourself to the list if you fancy.

tunnocks that is good work! I would do the same except I'm trying to use up ones that came in a jar-BAD IDEA!!

daisy fabulous news, and hearing the heartbeat must have been wonderful

I have to confess my first day of channelling mamap's zen fell flat on its face when I spent about 12 hours crying and full-on mentalling..... The reason is that less than 8 hours after seeing a lovely scan of pinkbean, the dr called to say my progesterone has dropped a bit and that I need to double the amount of supplements I'm taking and have a repeat blood test on Tuesday. Now bearing in mind he didn't sound very panicked, for some reason I still took this as my queue to panic and imagine doom is just around the corner.... However, dachs has talked some sense into me and I am taking the much more pragmatic view that it's a very variable measure anyway, bean was fine yesterday, if it goes wrong I can't stop it anyway, and I'll just have to deal with it if that time comes. And breathe!!! I am soooo of the girls I see on Facebook that put a picture of their BFP as their profile pic, assume that it means a baby will arrive in 9 months, then it does!! owl did you find anyone willing to dish out lobotomies as I am sorely in need of one...!!!!

I am such a geek-I found a list of the 100 books you really should read and realised that I loved reading when I was young but ran out of time as I became a teenager and so have missed most of these books. So I went on a bit of a spree on Amazon and 6 turned up today, soooo excited and can't decide which to start first!!

Ps "cue to panic"..... Idiot phone

How did that happen? I'm the most mentally of all of us!

If you swap the cakes for double cheeseburgers I would be delighted :) I've had a really big fat craving for about 4 days now!

Pink sorry you have been in a state - these consultants etc have no idea how what they say affects people. If he didnt sound panicked tho it must be ok :) I'm also and frustrated at friends announcements via fb or anywhere else - all of ours have told everyone before 10 weeks without having scans or anything that they are updiffed despite DH warning them that it might not always work out right but guess what..they have all been fine! I also have this stupid 14yr old pregnant girl in my class to deal with on a daily basis.

Can someone teach me how to stop mentalling then?

Glad you had a good scan Daisy and welcome Hils pull up a bean bag :)

K pink... imagine you didnt have a consultant and were none the wiser? Thank god you do...... :) try looking at it like that?! Im sure it will all be fine xx

velvet cheeseburgers, YESS!!! Only maccy d's ones though, bean is very fussy!! Also Dominos pizza. I went to acupuncturist today having not been for a month and she asked me if I was managing to eat well . She looked even at the carefully selected highlights that I chose to share with her!!! Hehehe

nix you are totally right and the rational section of my brain agrees! Plus he did warn me when I got diffed and I had the choice of whether to be monitored that monitoring doesn't suit some people's personalities and can cause more anxiety than it relieves.... ER do you reckon they can see directly into your brain using dildo cam???

Also mummya big respect for your wedding story on the 'lessons I've learned' thread LMAO!!

Pink , just stick your bonce in this 'ere vice a minute...

Dachs OMG I love rice crispie cakes. As it's almost easter, let's stick mini eggs on top for added lard-content. Yum :)

Hi All, Welcome hils make yourself comfy.

I am having a lovely girly weekend away - am sewing and chatting away to my heart's content.
Has been wonderful to have a break from the voices in the head - if only I could stay here for the next 34 weeks!!!

I need to join the forgetful pill brigade - is there any danger in double doses of folic acid - how will I know I am old when I do things like this now?!
Nix your dream was horrible! Stupid brains.
Pink channel the zen again. It will all be just fine

Right off to see what MummyA had to say!

perhaps I should have name changed for that post

Awww mummya I loved that post, sorry, didn't mean to you!! Mainly cos if I'd drunk 2 pints I'd have passed out in the pub without even making it to the wedding

Hey ladies

Just having a cheeky post while DS has his afternoon nap. Then I must get out of my slobbing around clothes as we've people over for tea later!

Glad you liked the DS story. He's 2y and nearly 8 months but is a very grown up little boy.

Welcome and Congratulations to Hils lovely to have you with us...

Had a dream about bleeding last night. TMI alert Was most weird as it involved taking out a tampon with blood on it. But I don't even use them (mooncup girl).
I have decided not to take my subconscious seriously until it can close the obvious plot flaws in my dreams!

Also am attempting to overcome my magpie superstition as there are far too many single magpies around at the moment. And as yet I can't think of a sensible way a magpie can jinx this pregnancy...

Blueberry muffins were fab in RL btw :)

Question for you all.... I'm still knackered and keep blacking out almost every time I stand up. Anyone think that I could be anaemic?

If so I've got some iron tablets left over from when I had the ectopic... can I use them in pregnancy do you think?
