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

[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
Brian x

Help yourself Owl there's plenty to go round

AandR I'm so sorry, I was really hoping everything would turn out OK. Hope that you are getting lots of TLC in RL. Remember we are all here for a chat if you want to get anything off your chest. Much love xxx

aandr am so sorry it wasn't good news. i hope you have support in rl.

been off the board for a bit, so sorry to hear of your loss aandr

told my parents 'officially' last night (actually told them 2 weeks ago :)) as DP wants to tell his parents tomorrow, bit scared it's all going too fast and they're going to handle this pg as badly as they handled the mc :(

Thanks owls definitely agree that Symptoms Not To Be Trusted :)

Tis true that with the MMC I had many more symptoms... I was in maternity trousers by this point for starters!

Hils is there anything you can do to train your parents? I found that flying off the handle made mine pull their socks up...

That said my FIL was such a tit last time I'm just not telling him this time and the people who do know are under very strict instructions to tell no-one.

tunnock I think you'll find that upset tum merely signals impending BIG FART... Parp :)

Sunshine is cheering me up :)

ha ha, I keep having to pop to the toilet, just in case it's a noisy one! I work in a room full of blokes so I don't think they'd notice :)

My MIL wanted to take me to an art gallery 2 days after I had the MC, I was still bleeding and in agony! Honestly she had no idea

Tunnocks pg women get upset tums too! Actually, I had to apologise to my friend yesterday and ask if she had any air freshener but mine was the hot chocolate you're right too, that I was thinking I'm so lucky to still be with a chance at all. They put my chances back to 'normal' after they saw a HB though, and I thought you had too? So must be better than 30%?

Hils my mum (dad passed away) is not helpful or maternal at all and quite upset me during MC, and not rung once this pg. But my in-laws are an absolute dream, so I'm thinking I'm glad I have one good set. Sorry you have this added worry

Oh honey :( (A&R) im so sorry :(
Hope you are getting lots of RL support xxxxx

Forgot to say, onions I am v.v of your zen-like calm and attitude. Do you give lessons?!

Ok good talking to coming up. We all know each PG can be totally different from another. Everyone has different symptons cravings etc because after all we are all so different. What one of us could have in abundance, another could have none of. The same as each bean is going to turn into a very different and individual child. There is no right or wrong in PG, just different.
I can also appreciate that my Zen like calmness comes from a different perspective than most of you. I haven't been through half of the shit times that some of you have been through, so it's easier for me to be calm. And I'm not saying that in a righteous manner, more through ignorance. My first PG I didn't find out until I was 4 months (oh how I wish t'was the same this time!) and with my MC, didn't even know I was PG (was constantly bleeding so the one time we were SWOI I fell!). So should this bean decide the time is not right (FX it won't and will stay sticky for a while longer) I possibly won't have the Zen like I do at this moment in time. I'd love to have that window in the belly, but for now, I'm just happy in blissful ignorance hoping for the best

Orange Xpost. Above should explain my Zen! Thanks for the came, mmmmmm. Would you like a Mango peach & passion fruit Fox's Smoothie? They are nice and fruity!

Brian!!! That last post was supposed to say cake! A whole new thread could be started from that response alone

Tunnocks see you had a shit time with your MC over an extended period. I agree, wish MC didn't happen to anyone! Sometimes I think I'm a cold hearted biatch! But then I do get emotional over certain things, it's good to have a cry. Just trying to hold it together and wishing the next 4 weeks will fly by without anymore scares/mentalling, but know that's not gonna be easy. Have a headache now, been at DS' school this avo listening to reading. And now have DS, his friend and a girl I sometimes look after, running around the house fighting over who is goin to be the plumber in Ben10 (didn't even know there was a plumber in Ben10!) Now thinking what'll it be like if the bean stays and actually becomes a child!?!?!

Pah. DH just phoned and asked if it would be ok to go to Ethiopia for a work trip next week... Smiled sweetly and said 'sure thing'. I'm a bloomin' lovely wife I am.

Mind you if bean isn't looking good then I guess a removal would be on the cards early next week...

Knitter that's how confident and opptomistic your DH is! All will be fine....

Just realised Valentines Day was a month ago which means 2 things.

1. I haven't had an alcoholic beverage for a month!
2. It will be a month tomorrow that I got my BFP!

A month already, I suppose it has flown by?!?! Only 7 to go !!

Ah Tunnocks would it be wrong of me to say I could just sink a large G&T with ice and a slice of lime?!?!?

No, Hotandspicy it would be absolutely RIGHT

Tunnocks my lovely, once you have finished having a good old wail please find this large squid which I fully intend to stick on to your head (it's almost a fish). I had weeks of upset tum with this prg. And epic guffing. And indigestion. Yes, I was so attactive at that point.

I have been and had scan and the Owlet is fidgeting around like mad and apparently, all is well. Phew. Another hurdle jumped. I am now treating him to a packet of ready salted crisps.
