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

Actually my birthing centre offers pregnancy yoga, so might be worth looking into that.

pink thank you I'll definitely do that -

Morning all.

I'm a bit behind as am horribly full of stinking cold - bleurgh!

Just to say I'm so sorry to hear about your nan Collie big hugs and take care of yourself.

Welcome to all the [many!] newbies

Daisy I think the card is a lovely idea.

Good luck to our scanners today. Let us know how you get on xxx

Morning all!

Not much happening here - just quietly mentalling away until next week's scan... Eating like a horse, and jeans getting tighter and tighter, but am trying to squeeze into them until after the scan. Then I might think about getting some clothes that actually fit me..! Izzy - that's very weird about your mum turning up with the clothes... is it starting to feel any more real for you yet?

A big hello to harrassed (or should I call you pants ? ) and banana - congratulations and welcome!

Orange - hope your revision is going better than the work I'm supposed to be doing at home today! I really wouldn't worry about the Tiger Balm - absorption through the skin is minimal, and this page (which looks more sensible than various web fora) just suggests avoiding excessive use.

MamaP - have a good week - don't forget to stop every now and again, take a deep breath, put your feet up if possible..!

Daisy - I agree with the others - I think a card would be a lovely gesture.

Collie - so sorry to hear about your nan... don't worry about freaking out - this is exactly the place to do it, and there's no rules saying you have to be zen here for x days before you're allowed to flip! I think what will be will be with your bean though, and being stressed will be rubbish for you, but your bean will carry on regardless on its destined path.

Velvet - hooorrayy for the BIL deadline! And Spain sounds good, but I'm sorry Japan didn't work out - I know how much you had been looking forward to it.

MummyA - sorry you're feeling so pukey. Not nice at all. I guess try to positively reframe as being good evidence there's something good going on?

Cep and Nix - good luck for your scans today!

WIW - glad you got hold of your medications!

Wombat - poor you... stick yourself in bed with some honey and lemon and a good book.

Waves to mattsmama, WIW, Pink, Owl, Onions, teacake, hils, dachs, irene, daisy and anyone else I've missed.

I'll try to sort out the list in a minute - Dachs and I had gained a day somewhere... and does anyone else want to add themselves yet?

harrassed just noticed what you said about the pregnancy yoga. Definitely worth looking into. Think I'll check that out too

HELLO to everyone else by they way!

Hi ladies can I join? I recognise some from other threads.

I'm Iggly and had a MMC last November. Took it out of me and was a bit shaken up.

I've just got a BFP - well have POAS many may times since last Friday! My cycles have been a bit mad and AF isn't due until Thursday so surprised to say the least. I'm expecting it to end in a chemical pregnancy as I'm not confident at all. Can't get excited yet. Well maybe a little

Thanks for all the good luck vibes.

well good news here too. Bean measuring 9mm (6wk6) with hb, although they wouldn't/couldn't say how many bpm. 3 days less than i thought but not too bad. i'm a bit more relieved, but until i have had successful 12 weeks panic won't completely go, they don't do reassurance scans so unless i have another bleed won't see until 12 weeks now. have taken the plunge and booked my first mw app, for next tuesday.

nix good luck for scan today

hope everyone is ok.

CEP YAY Fab news - really pleased for you. Just try and relax now - easier said than done of course but at least you can breathe a sigh of relief now!

NIX Good luck with your scan!

IGGLY Welcome aboard! Know what you mean about POAS - I've got a right collection lined up on my bathroom windowsill that I still keep looking at!!

It is nervewracking but at least you can share those nerves with everyone on here - I am currently waiting for my first scan on 30th March and I am MEGA NERVOUS. I'm currently 5weeks and 4 days! Just trying my hardest to stay calm and zen like which is very hard! We've had a lot of good news on here with scans which is lovely and I hope it's catching!

Thanks mattsmama! I have chucked all the sticks. Which just makes me want to POAS more! Have already done it twice today. Thanks god for cheapies

cep great news my love, hope you can relax a little now

welcome newbies (I'm the harassed one you'll get to know better in a few weeks when less fraught... in the process of moving from Warwickshire to Kent on Friday, and buying a starting a business... also on Friday, oh and having a baby too!! )

Huge waves to sunchild I hope you'll be joining us here soon

nix hope the scan goes well hon

I've just realised I'm 12 weeks tomorrow! Whoop! Also joining me this week: Dachs and emoo Wha hoo

Izzy emoo pink and all I promise to try and put my feet up and get some sleep at some point this week, this precious bean is def our priority, luckily mum and dad are helping us pack on Thursday plus I'm splashing out and booking Pickford?s to take out the physical and emotional stress of packing/moving.

We are taking a night off from work as it's my Birthday and I have just had an email from DH to say he's taking me for dinner!!

pink and all talking about oils etc! I have just received a beautiful Birthday pressie from a friend it's a Neal?s Yard Remedy Mothers Massage Oil, that is approved for pregnancy and includes Wheatgerm and Manadrin! Sounds divine! I think Space NK can advise on oils suitable for pregnancy!

Pop by Thursday after scan if not before xxx

yeyeyey for cep. Ace news.

ooh, mamap! Thursday! Good luck, will be checking in for you.

Great news CEP, don't worry about the three days, it doesn't mean anything.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY mamap !!!!

Welcome iggly congrats on the BFP!

Happy birthday MamaP!!

So.... are all these period type pains normal?? Had them last time, but that's no comfort given how it all ended . This is number 4 so you'd think I would know but ds1 is 21, ds2 will be 20 on Friday and dd is 4.

My tummy is already looking like I have a bad case pmt, how the hell am I going to hide that until 12 weeks?!

thanks everyone.

happy birthday mamap hope you have a fab meal and a problem free move.

welcome iggly and congratulations.

hihp period type pains are scarily normal. is the stomach starting to stretch.

Happy Birthday mamap

Happy birthday mamap! Have a lovely dinner.

And fab scan news Cep!!!

Happy birthday mp xx

All fab at the scan
Just wouldn't keep still for anything!!
Hooray, another milestone crossed off xx

Yet for CEp too xx

Btw picking up on the oils comment.
I have used a drop of lavender bath oil in the bath water plus also one drop on pillow at night for relaxation. I also had massages by a registered aromatherapist when I was of last time and one drop of lavender was used in the mix. I think the point to be made is it's not good directly onto skin.

Pink why is my quietness freaking you out? Been mentally busy with work and just trying to get on with everything :) xx

Hope everyone else is fab xx
