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

thanks nicks - I try to remember that about symptoms. Just been round Tesco, and have felt all weird and floaty, so that's reassuring.

Digi I really feel for you with it being your week when it went wrong last time. Friday will soon come round and fingers crossed, your scan will be fine. Hang in there xx

I think, with the wonderful benefit of hindsight, that the very worst weeks were the week I'd lost the previous one (7 weeks) plus the two weeks after that where I felt I was on borrowed time before the early scan I had. After that point it got significantly better and the worry, whilst still there, was not nearly as all-consuming. So whilst this is the hardest bit, there is a big old light at the end of the tunnel and it's not that far away.

Digi hope you feel like absolute shite all week long, lovely

Hellooooo - sorry for no postings at the weekend. Was off at my mum and Dad's doing my best to not tell them about pregnancy...even when mum said that she thought I'd put on a bit of weight in the tummy department!

Welcome tunnocks definitely know/remember you - very excited to have you on board

Hugs to hairy hope you're doing ok

Just walked past the Krispy Creme shop in Victoria station - now thinking I should have invested in a box for y'all... next time

Getting hopefull for tomorrow's scan. DH and I are aiming to be at St Georges for when it opens at 8.30am... will get on here and let you know the outcome as soon as I can obviously.

Still feeling knackered, still have worlds perkiest nipples, slight heavy womb feeling - especially when in bed, sense of smell definitely heightened, still go dizzy when I stand up..... so I'm guessing that I'm still pg!! Just need it to not be in the tube... Fingers crossed please...

oooh and to enter the eggs debate I ate soft boiled egges when pregnant with DS and no problems here... We have our own chickens and if I didn't eat them we'd drown in an egg mountain (which isn't as much fun as a donut mountain)

Ah would love to keep chickens......
too many foxes round here. Foxy came right into the lounge last summer... and got chased off by DH and his baseball bat! Too tame, and around the same time as those little babies got mauled. And my cats like creatures of the feathered variety also...!

Hello all. sorry, I have not been online over the weeken so am a bit behind on news - I'm just going to jump back in and say congratulations to tunnocks and send big hugs to those worrying today. I agree with Owl that allthough the worrying never goes, the worst bit is def around the time of a previous loss. It will get better xxx

Had my booking-in appointment at the weekend - a big milestone forme as I'd just arranged it last time around but never made it as far as the appointment date. 12 wk scan is a week today. Eeek. I'm really hoping that everything is going to be okay and that they're going to be able to tell us whether our bean definately does have all it's limbs and apendages. I'm starting to feel very bloated/fat and uncomfortable and really want to be able to tell close family our news, but don't want to do so until we get some reassurance that everything is okay. Fingers crossed!

Knitter Will be thinking of you for tomorrow's scan and sending robin type vibes bzzzzzzzzz.

Nix When can you use a doppler from? I may need surgically removing from mine when I get to use it.

Digi thinking of you too. No words of wisdom to add to what others have already said.

6+1 for me today, it had all gone wrong already for me last time, did I but know it. I may have the teeniest, tiniest beginnings of a bump but that might just be the chocolate that I am getting through at the moment. Oh roll on 12 weeks, this bit is hard.

nix YOU'VE NEVER HAD A KRISPY CREME - OMG....!

They're totally delicious and so much nicer than any other donut. One result is that i now eat vastly less donuts than I used to as I can't bear normal donuts now...

Well done for getting to 16 weeks BTW.... are you starting to relax about everything? Or is the fear still there?

robin thanks - can feel the warm fuzzy vibes aleady :)

Knitter, I confess to never having had a kripsy creme either, I haven't even heard of them. Have obviously never lived

I've still got a soft spot for the plain old-fashioned jam doughnut - putting cream in them is just plain Wrong though. I do like a nice Krispy Kreme though even though the terrible spelling makes my teeth clench involuntarily.

Is Knitter the next scan person then? And Digi afterwards? I shall send all the good vibes in your general directions, anyone else who's braving the dildocam this week please speak up :)

Also, Womble - the booking in appt is a huge milestone, I also booked mine last time and had to cancel it (which was desperately miserable at the time). Hoorah for getting this far! They should be able to see all limbs etc at the 12 week scan. Depending on how good the machine is and whether the bean is behaving they may see fingers and toes as well. :)

Right that's it I'm definitely buying a box next time I go past the krispy creme shop for you all - the worlds MOST amazing donuts. Maybe they're only in London? I'm sure I've seen them elsewhere though.... Definitely shops in quite a lot of mainline train stations. Feeling quite sad for all of you that have never taken this step into donut heaven....

re scans I think there is 3 of us tomorrow... can't remember who though sorry - far too self-obsessed

Thanks Owl. I think if we can't see at the NHS one we might go for broke and book another private one to try and get some more detail so we can start to tell people.

I'm with you on the jam doughtnuts Krispy Creme - yuck!

Ok, am back from Centre Parcs and in need of about a weeks worth of sleep (in fact, can I just sleep for the next 8 weeks please??)and this beanbag seems as good a place as any :)

How far along is everyone then? I've managed to work out some but am awful at remembering stuff that isnt on the same page

I still have brown goo, it has been a lot less today though. AF due tomorrow so hopefully it will start to settle down from then. I have always had issues with brown stuff in normal cycles so maybe I'll just have to get used to it.

So I have another question for you - since I had given up hoping to be diffed we had booked a trip to Japan in 6 weeks time. I have read up about flying in the first trimester and some places say its fine while others say its not. Any words of wisdom?

I hope everyone is doing ok today :) I dont like Krispy Kremes btw

Good luck for tomorrow Knitter!!! and everyone else having Tuesday scans xxx

Just looked back at the old fred and it's me, Dachs, Silver and Barbie who are listed as having scans tomorrow - haven't seen Silver and Barbie on here recently though.... And wonder if Dach's has been superceded by other pup2 related scans??

velvet in theory flying is fine but i took the decision that it was european flights only for me when I was pg with DS... not sure if that helps....

And I'm 6 weeks today :)

wombat thanks - you ladies are all so lovely

And Brian obviously - sorry for inadvertant sex descrimination then

Velvet Oooh, Japan. Now there's fancy, eh? I won't pretend I'm not jealous. About flying, my lovely friend is a pilot and in neither of her pgs has she realised that she's updiffed until around 10 weeks and had flown a hell of a lot until then with no bad effects at all. I would say just make sure you stretch your legs a lot, drink lots of water and enjoy.

Wombat hurrah for the booking appointment. I guess the scan can't come soon enough for you.

knitter I'm still having a scan tomorrow - I'm petrified though - I'm so sure that there won't still be two there. I'm hoping there will be at least one though. And I'm feeling really miserable because DH and I keep rowing about stuff - partly my fault for being pg and stroppy but also because he keeps telling me not to worry and stress and that stress is bad for the baby/babies. Yeah - I know that, but it doesn't mean I can magically stop worrying...

good luck with yours knitter :)

velvet good to see you've adopted us properly! :) As far as i know there's no prob with flying in the first trimester, so my doc tells me anyway.

wombat congrats on the appointment and FX for the scan :)
