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

[MummyAbroad]

Newly pregnant after miscarriage? Here is a nice place to hang out and swap symptoms and worries until you are brave enough to sign up to the grads thread.

Here is a link to the old thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/1165866-Freak-out-room-for-those-newly-updiffed-after-MC-to-hold-hands-and-support-each-other-Part-III/AllOnOnePage#24507574

Forgot to say DS was up at 6.30 today so we made muffins with chocolate icing hope you like them!

And Brian has been in action here too - cycled to work with my officewear in a bag. Got dressed to discover I had skirt, shoes, vest top but no cardigan/shirt.... Sitting here feeling slightly naked now!

Hello all, yes Wombat I'm here!

Tunnocks I know exactly where you're coming from, you're not being a bad friend or unreasonable at all! It is so difficult to kick back and enjoy things when you're so nervous, I can certainly relate to that and I'm an imposter here! I remember what you told me - how easy it is to be excited for other people but not yourself. Well we're excited for you, and your friend will be too, and I'm sure she'd understand.

I feel exactly the same way as you about things though, I don't want to discuss it in RL, and I wish at times people weren't so damn excited by it.

I did cave in today though - we have a new charity shop in the town and I bought a pack of newborn sleepsuits - 5 for £1 and they've got farm animals on them

Knitter - could've been worse; you could've forgotten the skirt . Am very, very impressed you got up, made muffins with icing at the crack of dawn and then cycled to work! I am working from home today so literally, got up, showered, rolled onto sofa, switched on lap top and erm, that's really it...

Ooh - one more thing Knitter - I was in Southfields only last weekend! Lurvely part of the world; in fact, my ma lives just around the corner in Wimbledon Village. I think your parents lived near the Homebase we seem to spend most of our weekends at occasionally frequent!

Daisy - would so love to be buying sleepsuits...

By the way, probs being dim, but who the eff is Brian????

Lara .. Brian is a typo! Someone (sorry I've forgotten who now) once commented that they had baby-brian instead of baby-brain and we've adopted him as our token male who we can blame any episodes of baby-brain on/get to do useful jobs around the thread etc...!

Hello all

Back from scan - all OK :) Two heartbeats, both look fine anatomically.

My age risk for abnormalities is 1/237 but 1/4787 after scan so about as happy as I can be :)

So all you people fretting about absence of symptoms, take note that it means nothing :)

Dachs - that's super, super brill.

Dachs that is effing marvellous news my lovely. Also, you jammy bugger not having any symptoms!! Now for a little stress-free R&R and some online shopping for teeny tiny socks, yes?

Fingers are still crossed for our other lovely scanners today x

Yey for Dachs pups!!! That's fab news!!!!!

Daisy sleep suits with animals on. sob. Too cute!!!

Good luck to the other scanners!

larami Today's scan put me at 13 weeks - I STILL have no symptoms.

(Apart from being tired and hungry, but that could just be down to me being lazy and greedy :) )

owl teeny tiny socks sounds like a fab plan

dach that's great news.

woo hoo dachs brilliant news. and double woohoo for low risk - that bit I am not looking forward to as pushing (ahem) 40!

Dachs - you told work yet? Do you look pg? Excellent that the twins are being so well behaved - I hope this is a sign that for the rest of their lives they will behave like angels!

I just had a rant at my younger sister. As I've said through gritted teeth many times before she's 18 weeks pg. Of course it's turned her an amalgamation of bloody Toni Weschler and Gina Ford. If she lectures me one more time on what I should, shouldn't be doing etc, I will bloody smack her! I know she's further down the line but the way she's emailing me, you'd think I was a 15 yo that got up the duff on a drunken one night stand. She had the nerve to tell me to "relax and let things take their course". Of course I effing know I need to do that - I don't need her in her smug bumpness to tell me. Gahhh, smack, thwac, giant wallllllop!

dachs lovely news... FWIW i find your lack of symptoms very hopeful - Mine have vanished again and would be fretting if it wasn't for you....

Although I did dry heave into the kitchen sink yesterday afternoon, and did dream about the liver baby so perhaps I should count them as symptoms....

I've now got 3 maternity items out of the box... jeans, work skirt and vest top... don't want to take more out only to have to put them all back again....

larami My boss has known since day 1, as they are IVF twins so she needed to know so I could get time off for the appointments. They may not be giving me symptoms but they are NOT little angels. One of them was wriggling so much during thr scan that we nearly didn't manage to get all the measurements we needed for the nuchal test. The other one was a little less wriggly, but still moved a lot so that we couldn't get a reliable heartbeat for ages. And no, I don't look pg. Just fat - I'm overweight anyway so I guess that's hiding it a bit, but I don't look pg at all so far.

You sister sounds like a bit of a nightmare - like my SIL (mother of two, who rang us at 10.30 last night to rant at DH because we haven't invited her and her brood over on Saturday when we're having the PIL round, the reason we haven't invited them is because she would say the same things as your sister and I would basically want to break her limbs, one by one, slowly)

Yay dachs fab, fab news!!

Now where are the other scanettes?

Dachs Whoop Whoop for the great scan excellent news. And good news on the low risk, enjoy the ickle sock shopping.

Lurking for news from emoo pink and matts

knitter impressed by your muffin making this morning?.. grabs one and scoffs it!

Just back from my gp appointment and he was lovely and very sympathetic Hes booked me in for a scan at epu on Monday and I am sh*tting it now!!!! I?ll only be 6+3. What will I see, what won?t I see??????

Jees, I should be happy as this is what I wanted but now I am mentalling even more worrying about being in that godforsaken place again, and it all going wrong again!

lara have you been for your apt yet? How far along are you? I?m working from home too today

Quote from referral letter "soft abdomen but not tender" is that good or bad????

well in that you don't want it to be hard or tender I think it must be a good thing...

Collie great news you have been referred for a scan - Monday will be here in no time and it will mean you can relax afterwards..

Had Scotch Egg for lunch. Now feel extra sick.

Grr to Lara's sister. My family are all useless. My sister texted me after my mmc in December and then didn't refer to it again at all, until I did last week! When I told my mum I had felt dizzy and weird in Tesco she asked me why I thought I felt like that. I have told her I am pg!

katherine Tesco does that to me too - always go to Sainsbury's now...

sorry - couldn't resist!

Ha knitter! Actually, you joke, but my oven exploded on Saturday and won't be mended til Friday earliest which is a total pain as I feel so queezy I can't stand the thought of cooking. So chucking a posh pre-cooked Lasagne in the oven is now out of the question. The only thing I can contemplate cooking on the hob is pasta so it's hardly been Masterchef in my house this week. Fortunately DD is at nursery until Thursday so no junior cooking required!

oooh - that sounds scary (the oven exploding not the pasta cooking!)

We're having either pasta or gnocci tonight - can't decide which packet to get out of the freezer!!

we're having chicken kievs with spaghetti in a spicy tomato sauce - classy!
