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.

HAVE A LOVELY DAY LADIES XXX Smile

IreneHeron · 03/04/2011 17:25

Got flowers today from DH and DS, and a card made at nursery by DS. DH has never bothered with Mothers' day before so this is my first experience of MD. The last and only other time DH has bought me flowers in the whole 13 or so years of us being together was when I was in hospital and had just had DS.

Hope everyone has as nice a day as I've had.

katherine2008 · 03/04/2011 18:52

That's lovely heron - what a brilliant day! DD bought me a new charm for my bracelet - very pleased. Sadly I feel dreadful (sick) so have spent a lot of the day groaning! Happy Mothers/Mothers to be Day to everyone Smile

Daisybell1 · 03/04/2011 19:04

Happy mothers day to everyone too!

Unfortunately when I pointed it out hopefully to OH this morning, he told me I don't qualify yet Sad.

I know I'm being silly (yet again) but I thought it might start to help with getting my head around all this. Another thing I've been pondering, has anyone started to think about names yet? I thought it might help me visualise the future....

Blackkat · 03/04/2011 19:32

irene katherine what lovely gifts Grin, tho sorry the MS was so rotten you couldn't enjoy the day katherine

daisy that doesn't sound silly to me, just a normal response and a sign that you're excited (despite the trepidation). I've had millions of names buzzing round my head for years, and can't ever decide which I like the most Grin Confused

KnitterNotTwitter · 03/04/2011 20:43

daisy was talking about names with DS at the swings today. If it's a girl he'd like Crystal... I suggested Caroline which he agreed was acceptable thank goodness because Crystal would sound awful with our surname! Mind you I suspect that in the end DH will have more of a say than DS!!! If it's a boy it'll have the other two grandpa names in our family... DS has two of them so we sort of have to use the other two to even things up!!

Had a lovely mothers day to counter the awfulness of last year's memories... Didn't know I was pg but came down with the flu-like symptoms that were bizarrely the beginning of the end for my ectopic... 4 days later it was blue lights to hospital.... Still look back on this time last year as the end of my blissful ignorance about the world of pg loss.

This year we went orienteering and DS did brilliantly - ran most of his way round his course which was so sweet. He came 7th out of 10 :) Then I did my race while DH looked after DS. When I came back they met me at the finish with a card and a can of (very shaken up) fizzy drink! In the card DS had drawn a woodpecker AND a rocket. Not everyone gets a woodpecker and a rocket for mothers day I suspect!!

Then DH cooked lovely roast dinner which for the first time ever DS ate... he normally refuses and demands pasta if it looks like meat! Hurrah!!

Hope everyone else has a lovely day....

MummyAbroad · 03/04/2011 21:25

lovely to hear about your mothers days everyone Smile Its not Mother's day in Costa Rica until August so I am a bit Envy

knitter we share a mc anniversary then. I found out that there was no heartbeat with my last bean on March 31 2010, so I have been going over past events much like you.

katherine I am in the same (queasy inducing) boat as you. I had to pack DS off to grannies again this weekend in order to get a bit of a break, at the moment its pretty hard to feed and clothe myself let alone him too! Have you started working your way through the "remedies"? I am finding mint tea is helping things a bit.

Sorry I cant remember who mentioned their theory about beans growing slowly before an mc, but its has given me an enormous amount of comfort recently. I have been asked a lot by those around me, when I think it will be "safe" to assume all is well, and havent been able to give a good answer. I had a scan at 14 weeks but the baby measured 9 and half. I was told it could have shrunk since it died so there was no way of knowing exactly when it happened. However, thinking about the theory makes me realise that it doesnt matter when the baby died, if I get scanned after 10 weeks and it is the right size for dates then I will be able to feel really positive about that alone. It will still have grown bigger than the last bean, and if slow growth is a sign of things stuggling, then I will feel great knowing that the size is right. Hope that makes sense, just wanted to thank the person that shared that idea.

Morning everyone - hope the rest of mothers' day went well for you all and you were suitably pampered and doted upon. Smile

Apologies for my lack of posting, I have still been following you all with great interest and it's been fab to read of all the good news scannage and not so fab to read of various sickness and wibbles (and stenches coming from the bathrooms of the updiffed Grin !)

I have been feeling a bit nervous, but all is good with me so far and happy to be added to the next stats list whenever someone does one - 6+4 today, EDD 26/11/11 and first scan on 17/04/11. Occasional bout of very mild nausea, plenty of boobage and hungry almost all the time.... still on 75mg asprin and 1 x 400mg cyclogest (slipping in nicely thanks pink Wink )

How are my near DD chums izzy and collie? Hope all is well. And delilah - looks like you have a scan today - FX all is great.

Waves to all!

katherine2008 · 04/04/2011 07:21

MummyA my nausea comes and goes - I feel just dandy as I type! But when it comes I feel just rotten (although haven't been sick) and now have an accompanying headache, which I'm sure it partly due to dehydration. Anyway, in honestly I'm still glad to have symptoms and start panicking when I feel well again!

Knitter what a brilliant day - sounds bliss!

DaisyI think it's about time you started thinking about names. Enjoy.

Daisybell1 · 04/04/2011 07:32

Morning all

Well, another complete melt-down last night - god knows what brought it on, but all the feelings came back about being terrified of being a parent, not having any link with the bump, no feelings of excitement or happiness, and, most scarily, not being able to visualise me and OH with a family. Needless to say he came in to find me sobbing into the dog Sad

Luckily I've got a pre-arranged drs appt on Thursday and think I'm going to see if I can see the MW this week just to get the heartbeat checked - OH has panicked me by worrying I've had too much contact with the sheep and may miscarry.

Hope everyone had a lovely day. Sorry Katherine and MummyA are suffering so much with the sickness. Really hope it settles down soon for you.

Knitter you sound amazing - there's no way I could have done orienteering before being PG, let alone now!

Names: we've more or less decided on Philippa (Pip) for a girl, but are a bit stuck for boys names. Does Fred (probably Alfred) sound too much like a Cumbrian farmer to you? Don't want to condemn the poor thing before its born! When I let my imagination run riot I can imagine a sturdy little lad in the yard called Fred.....

banana87 · 04/04/2011 07:58

Hi all,

Hope everyone is not feeling too sick this morning. Very pleased you all got spoiled for Mothers Day :)

Good luck to anyone having a scan today (Collie?)

Off to tribunal with boiled sweets and almonds. Although I did not wake up feeling sick at all this morning, so convinced its all over. Plus I am having cramps. No spotting though. Does anyone else get green/yellow like snot discharge? Is that normal?

Hope you all have a good day!

Blackkat · 04/04/2011 08:06

MumTumWanted · 04/04/2011 10:13

hey ladies , thank you for all your good wished and kind thoughts , sadly however it was not meant to be . OAS saturday sunday and this morning and all negative, so i guess it was either a dodgy stick which gave a false positive ( damn cb digi) or a chemical pregnancy, for some of you who i have chatted to for a while, as you know this was my last month of trying so i am truely devastated, and am off to the docs this morning as i want the CP noted, that way when start ttc next year after the wedding if i do have another mc / cp then it will be 3 so i would quaalify as recurrent mc'ger and hopefully they will look into things for me. Dreading it all really and am even considering potponing the wedding as i honestly cant see hoe being yet another year older will help ( im 33 already ) 3but hey i love my OH to bits and i guess whats meant to be is meant to be so i have to accept what is right now...

i wish all of you lovely ladies all the best and the most fantastic luck in your ttc and pregnancys, cep collie a special thanks to you to as you really have both taught me so much and kept me sane,

special shouts out to velvet blackkat ninu chloe lily olis mels again good luck and thank you all

and thanks to everyone else and anyone else i have missed.

i am so completely addicted to MN now though i ve no doubt i will lurk, but right now its all just a little to raw and painful x x

take care ladies and loads and loads of luck and happiness to you all

MummyAbroad · 04/04/2011 13:28

sorry mumtum. If you have already found the recurrent buns thread in the miscarriage section I would say its well worth posting on there, there are tons of very knowledgable women going through the testing process who helped me enormously. Best of luck to you. xxx
