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

Hi Dachs congratulations on the scan. If it's any consolation I appear fat to others now but that is through careful disguise as bump has started to emerge over last week or so.

I only like gnocci when it's baked. I think it might be sandwiches for tea tonight!

tigger I am imagining your bump in disguise a la Inspector Clouseau!

Dachs we had chicken kiev last night - but with potato dauphinoise and sprouting broccoli ... One of my favourite meals :) For the first time ever DS at the broccoli but only the stalks - not the heads - funny boy!

I like them with new potatoes and broccoli - yum! - but they also go with spicy spaghetti (it's a cheat's version of a crumbed chicken escalope which is a classic italian accompaniment to spicy spaghetti) which is all I have at home at the moment (having discovered that the new potatoes were rather inedible when i checked yesterday)

not tried them with dauphinoise, but i love dauphinoise so i might try that next week thanks for the idea knitter

Something about the creamy soft potatoes with the crunch on the outside of the kiev is brilliant

the thought of anything creamy sends my stomach into washing machine type action...

Gah - DH is having to stay at work late to sort out Libya so I've got to pick up DS... better go... no doubt see y'all later!

FWIW i highly expect Libya to not be sorted out by the time DH comes home so don't start booking your holidays there yet!

Yes maybe if I drew a moustache on it it would take the attention away . I'm telling work next week.

Ok, so i have just finished writing a snotty email of complaint to a local restaurant and am still fuming. Just had to ring and cancel the lovely meal i had planned for mothers day, as i mentioned before mum just doesn't want to go after nan passing away last week. They had the cheek to tell me that i'd get charged £10 per person, despite the fact that when i made the booking noone told me that i would be charged if i cancelled, how much i'd be charged or what the cut off point was for cancellations without being charged. Given, i did hand over my credit card details, but i didn't even think anything of it, as you hand them out so willy nilly these days anyway. Despite making my point at least 10 times and explaining my reasons for having to cancel - to which i didn't even get a flicker of sympathy - i gave up for rear of bursting into tears with frustation. So instead i ranted to them on an email Jees, i am sooooooo mad. And gutted too as its a real little gem of a place that we've only just discovered nearby and now i feel i don;t ever want to go back and spend my hard earned cash in there!!!!! Grrrrrrrr

Ok, done. At ease everone

ps emoo thanks for pointing out the fb thing, had the post deleted.

I'm back!!! Actually I've been back a while but the house is now full of Brownies (and not the edible sort, sadly), and I have sneaked on the computer while they are making a mess of the kitchen troughing.

Good news from the scan itself - Emoobean still has a heartbeat , and has grown, and I saw at least one arm (!), but it was all quite quick and perfunctory and she zoomed in so quickly on the head end I didn't see the tail end. Looked very cute though.

I'm not sure what to make of the nuchal measurement yet - it was 2.3 mm, which iirc is a lot bigger than DD's (1.0 mm) but not big like in some of the threads I've seen. My age related risk is hovering around the cut-off for high/low risk already . I said to DH this morning that I would probably cope if I had a result that implied definitely no further test needed, or one that said definitely further test needed. I don't want to be that somewhere in the middle (1 in 100/150ish) where I have to weigh up the knowing/not-knowing with the risk of causing a miscarriage of a healthy bean.

I asked how quickly I would be called if it was a bad result, but the person didn't know. I think I'll call them on Friday lunchtime and ask if there's no news by then.

Lovely news Dachs - please would you mind sharing the actual measurements so I can put mine into context?

Now, where are Pink and Mattsmama ?

Collie - if they didn't tell you at the time that this would happen or send you terms and conditions they can't do this legally. At best they would have to prove that they lost the table as a result of your cancellation which given the notice is unlikely. Call your credit card company and put a block on the payment.

emoo pup1 was 1.6 and pup2 was 1.7. They told me 3 is worrying so I'm guessing yours isn't too bad

Hello Ladies - just on train back from London and I am very pleased and RELIEVED to say the scan was great. Measurements were all fine and good strong heartbeat! What a relief. Thank you all so much for your good luck messages - it is very much appreciated. I shall be on later as keep losing signal in the tunnels!

Emoo everything I read when I had my scan suggested that 2.3 is fine too. Your bloods could also still bring your risk level right down to vv low risk so I don't think you need to be worrying too much about further testing just yet xxx

Yey! Great news Matts

Great news from matts amd emoo congratulations on your successful scans xx

matts and emoo great news about your scans.

collie i can't believe they didn't just let it go considering. that's awful.

Woo-hoo matts and emoo !!!!

Think I am starting to develop serious scan-envy! Not sure how I'm going to wait nearly three weeks more...

yay for Dachs emoo and matts congrats on the scans :)

mmmmm i want muffins and brownies and any other edible food item which isnt fishy

Yay for good scans!

Boo for shit restaurants.

Moo 2.3 doesn't sound outrageous at all - it also depends very largely on what your dates are as obviously the bigger the bean, the bigger the measurement will be (up to a point). I was told they usually ring within a couple of days if the bloods come back high risk.

Hello all. Great news on peeps scans today! Mine went well too, albeit stressful as it decided that today's trick would be to play dead whilst lying at an angle that is an Arse to see the heartbeat . Also had intralipid infusion today which is a drip of 2000 calories worth of soya fat..... Hopefully it will calm down my immune system and stop it attacking stuff. Wrongly enough I was starving after that, so washed it down with a bag of haribo and a cheese sandwich.. I am knackered though, haven't slept for 2 nights in a row now so hoping tonight might be better. MS seems to be back with a vengeance-attempted to yak all night, and then almost missed my scan slot because they were calling me while I was busily dry retching into the toilets...

Some people at work were asking how I was and I had to run away to cry! Weirdo-I'm v happy and relieved but feels like it's been such an emotional day and I guess im sleep deprived too. I also feel really guilty because a colleague told me that I need to start being more positive and when I think back on the conversation I was really negative about everything. I think I need to find a way to relax and stop worrying so hard but don't know how :(

Ha on the upside, a lovely lady today me today that I'm glowing,
which I can assure you I'm not!! Turns out Benefit High Beam works
wonders

collie at restaurant-that is ridiculous!! Definitely warrants a
letter to your local paper.

How are mummya and daisy doing?

I will read back a bit now and catch up on the day's events.

knitter glad someone's sorting Libya out!

Moo even if your bean was 85mm long which would be vast, 2.3 is only hovering around the 50th/60th centile (do I mean centile? Tired brain). Pretty much average is what I mean.

Pink Well done on the bad-assed MiniPink

I'm with you Katherine-creamy foods grrr at your family too, they sound v unsupportive!

knitter your DS sounds really sweet! Dry heaving and liver baby sound like symptoms to me!!

daisy farm animal sleepsuits sound too gorgeous!!!

Lara your sister sounds v v annoying!! Has she ever had a MC? I'm assuming not otherwise she wouldn't be mental enough to tell you to relax!!!
