I'm looking forward to seeing you here very soon

I desperately want an egg, and after reading the chances it's so slim, I might work my way up to one, but am feeling a but irrational at the moment

Nix poor dh not being able to eat the food, then having to smell your farts Wink Grin

Velvet pale, achey, sick, brown goo and vivid nightmares/dreams are all symptoms. I've had some awful mc dreams, and dreams dh has left me :( though I had a giving birth dream last night which perhaps shows a shift in my subconscious Hmm Sorry time's going so slowly (((hugs)))

Love you've made me so goddamn hungry! Grin that's really nice of you going back to other thread. I'm too scared tbh, hearing about experiences I've had to blinker myself for my own sanity. It's definitely good news that you're past the 6 week mark like your rational side said :)

I'm feeling out of sorts today, sick and tired which is great symptom-ness, but having mild cramps/twinges which I'm hoping is my muscles stretching. I think Nix you said that they start around now?

mummyabroad · 20/02/2011 12:57

Hi lovemysleep I forgot you were on both threads!

Hope to see you all over here in a different context next timeGrin

mummyabroad · 20/02/2011 13:10

ooooh Pretty fab news that you have finished the steriods! Hope the rest is plain sailing Smile

owlbooty · 20/02/2011 13:14

I still get 'blood' dreams and wake up completely freaked out. It sounds to me like you have some splendid grot-making symptoms there. As you can do is try and get through each day and each milestone one step at a time. And don't you dare bugger off, I've stapled your shoelaces to the floor Grin

PV 13 weeks! Whoop! So very pleased about your scan going well. I think that makes you the official first graduate of the Freak Out room as me and Nix snuck in here a bit late :)

Yesterday I had hot cross buns for breakfast, a burger and chips for lunch, and a cheese and onion pasty for tea. I disgust myself.

It's funny that quite a lot of us have gone for the same foods though - ribena, eggs, lemon sherbets, cake - the other thing I can't stop drinking now is Rose's lime cordial.

lovemysleep · 20/02/2011 13:37

owl lime cordial girl too, and now am glugging my way through ribena too - oh, and ginger ale - mmmmmmmmm.

Just scoffed a strawberry cream doughnut, and I really want the other one out of the packet.

OH.....DEAR.....GOD......I cannot stop eating......and I think I now have steroid moonface - eg. I now look like a fat bloater! AAArrrgghhhhhhh......

Velvet take care - fingers crossed that you will be fine xx

Dachs it's a pain when you can only get things online, isn't it? Is there not some big baby superstore within driving distance from you? Suppose you could always order it and send it back if it's not suitable, and there's nowhere to try it. Bit of a faff though.

PinkFondantFancy · 20/02/2011 13:39

Fried eggggsssss followed by Creme egggssss Grin

hotnspicyonions · 20/02/2011 13:50

Dachs can't you start a new thread asking if anyone close to you location has double buggy you are looking for? There must be some way of seeing one?!

Owl & Love not on the lime cordial but have sunk a 1.5 litre carton of Cranberry & raspberry in less than 24 hours. I'm gonna be peeing for England... Where's the CBD's???!!!

Just been a Domestic Goddess today, cooked a Devils Food Giant Cupcake. Un fortunately not for personal consumption. For a friend's daughters birthday. Wonder if she'll save me a bit?!

Luckily for me, I don't do eggs of any kind. Just a though a runny yolk makes me want to hurl. And that was before the bean arrived.

Am now comfy on the sofa watching Brothers & Sisters (DP,DS & IL's gone swimming) and chiiling. Nice Sunday, I hope all of yours are too :)

nickstermum · 20/02/2011 14:29

I think pink has turned into bella swan!!

Have you read breaking dawn??? :)

Velvet I have had so many freak out Mc / bloody dreams it's scary. Vivid dreams seem to be a symptom! ((hugs))

Love, I am reading about moon face at the min! In the folk of the faraway tree... Ds! Love that book! Sorry theyre making you so hungry, it's a good cause tho! I started to stay away from the mc threads as they were freaking me out :( good on you for being supportive, but am sure they will understand if you need a break :)

Dachs, the Jane powertwin is supposed to be awesome. I have a Jane 3 wheeler and it's fab. Expensive though. Gosh, been out to buy Ds a new car seat today, booster 4-7 years, seems to have just shot up.. Another 130 quid gone Gah! Still at least I already have the others for no 2! Cheap compared to the price of buggies and baby stuff lol
Actually wanted a coffee this morn....

Ladybee · 20/02/2011 15:05

Hi again,

Didn't get to the optician will try squeeze it in early this week, GP was useless, basically said it could be any of the things I thought it was although slightly reassuring thought probably not clexane/bleeding related as eye not bloodshot in any way (BTW, has anyone else noticed that eyes are nice and bright and shiney without caffeine or alcohol? Not that I drank much but I noticed this last time too - it's about the only part of me that is bright and shiney).

PV fantastic news for latest scan - I wouldn't worry about the not being excited thing...I'm basically expecting if this continues on, to not be excited until around 24 weeks when I think it's viable? I.e. until it's not entirely up to my body to sustain it.

AandR Hope that bug is giving you a miss, do try to rest as much as possible and give your body a chance to cope and keep an eye on temp. I very very nearly refused to have a scan at 6+6 weeks, after my first at 4+6 - they were required by consultant in order to start the clexane injections I'm on. But the prospect of being told bad news was almost more than my wish to know. Really it came down to knowing that if something had gone wrong it would be better to know. But there has been 4 weeks since my last and next scan this week) and I've been hoping that if it has ended I would find out by starting to bleed. Especially as DH and DS will be coming to this scan - hate the idea of getting bad news that way.

emoo am totally Envy about the prospect of a snuggly fire - how delicious.

velvet oooooohhhh I wish I could give you a big squeeze. It's HORRENDOUS, it really is, the early weeks, then the weeks when it went wrong last, then the other weeks waiting for another scan. It's all hard - just have to take it one day at a time. And sleep lots. Although with those dreams you may not want to. I've had a lot of vivid dreams, including practically the exact same 'giving birth' dream I had last time I was pg, right before my MC When you're suppressing a lot of fearful thoughts during waking hours, they're bound to come out somehow. Pale, achey, feeling generally blah. Yup, early pregnancy sucks. Hooray - you're in early pregnancy Grin

Oi..Nickster...let MummyA wear the maids outfit if she wants - she looks very fetching in it Grin, shall we call her DH?

I do the runny eggs. Not a lot, but if it's the thing I feel like above all other things, then I eat them. Think I've had 2 in this pg.

Lovemysleep I had abandon completely the miscarriage thread and sadly the ttc after mc thread, I just couldn't cope with hearing stories of the poor women who lost pgs at the Exact Same Stage I happened to be on. SadSad it feels so selfish, but it was the only thing I could do to help stop focussing on the what 'could' happen and focus on what was actually happening as far as I can tell.

owlbooty I'm with you on the lime cordial.

hotnspicey, well with that lot of cranberry you should be fine for cystitis Grin That was terribly self-sacrificing of you to cook cake for someone else though. I cooked a cake on Wednesday (DS helped), ostensibly for friend and her DD coming over, but really so it would be left for me (ok, I let DH have a little bit). It was lovely. Gone now, sadly.

Right, got to go...have to do number crunching regarding selling or renting house. Gah. Will be back on before Wednesday's scan wibbling I expect. Plleeeeeeease let it be ok, pleeeeeeaaaaase.

PrettyVacant1 · 20/02/2011 15:38

Control what you can and trust what you can't , bizzare dreams are a classic symptom.
You mind is working overdrive sweets.

Őranjeboom squishes for you too, erm, was it not yourself who kindly responded to my freak out Fred bout cramping.
Your bean is made of steel mate, its not going anywhere! Grin
You should name it orangefink.

Tunnocks me lovely! Well-done and Congrats !

Ladybee · 20/02/2011 20:50

Yay! tunnocks congratulations! Cranpy irritable uterus feelings all to be expected - best of luck with the next few weeks.

I am regretting deciding to just have peanut butter toast for tea. Was feeling rubbish at the time, DH has cooked himself something and now the feeling has passed and I'm starving. No idea what to eat though. Poo.

lovemysleep · 20/02/2011 21:19

Tunnocks hello and congratulations!

Have eaten 3, yes 3, cream cakes today.....this is not normal!!!!

No, full sized big, bloater ones!! Sure the Brie and lemsip are fine - think of all those people who don't know they're pg for weeks (lucky sods!), and drink booze etc.

Emoo · 20/02/2011 22:28

Evening! Lovely to see you here teacake - thought your chart was looking promising yesterday!

All ok here - still getting the cramps so a little uncertain and cannot bring myself to be fully hopeful yet. Only 2 days since my positive 7 week scan and already wobbling! No blood yet though

Love to all xx mmmmmm cream cakes yum!

nickstermum · 21/02/2011 07:24

Wishes the subconscious would fuck right off with the vivid miscarriage Dreams :( :( :( Angry

Woke up having had a vivid dream about heavy blood loss with cramps and of course had to run to the loo.. Of course nothing :) :) :) phew! Made me start off Monday all wobbly tho..

Morning all....

Thanks fir the Fetal heartbeat info babes/fucker, I had seen a thread where the hb was recorded as 185 so rather than thinking that was too high, of course I thought mine at 145 was too slowConfused :)

lovemysleep · 21/02/2011 09:12

Nick and Emoo I'm wobbling too......not felt sick for the last few days, despite feeling awful on Friday. Still have sore boobs, but am definately in the grips of the FEAR.......

Lovely to see the bean on Friday, but in some ways, now I've seen it,it would make it so much more awful to lose it Sad.

I suppose I'm just going to have to accept these wobbly days as part of the process - I just can't imagine how I'm going to feel when I get to the magic 12 weeks. Bet I'll be relieved, but I have a feeling that the anxiety will still be there - guess we'll all feel the exact same way, and until we are actually holding our babies, we won't believe that it...

Have a good day - I'm going to go and try to find my zen, as I believe the little bugger is hiding....

nickstermum · 21/02/2011 10:53

Love sickness comes and goes hon

digitalgirl · 21/02/2011 11:53

Congratulations tunnocks

Waves back at hairy

Woke up feeling v nonpg again, but absolutely starving after cooked breakfast so bit more reassured. As hard as I'm trying to stay positive this is the week where it went wrong last time - so mentally preparing myself. Scan this Friday to prove my fears wrong.

Have had a v easy weekend with little in the way of symptoms. Hoping to feel shite all week.
