Freak out room for those newly updiffed after mc - Part V

[MummyAbroad]

Just found out you are pregnant after a previous miscarriage? There is plenty of support, hand holding and problem-shared-problem-halved going on over here. All welcome to join in.

mummya fab news re the nuchal, that sounds really good. Are you going to bother trying to get the bloods done?

Welcome to amuminwaiting - I'm really sorry to hear about your losses but congrats on the bfp. Hoping for an uneventful few months for you x (sorry can't help on the progesterone front although do sympathise re the glamour of pg!!)

Was slightly taken aback last night to realise booking in appt is this afternoon. Even though there's no scan and no chance of mw listening in (am only 9+3) so not going to be bad news, it does make it feel more official and is therefore still scary!! Fx I get a nice mw who will refer me to cons so I can get my 16 wk scan without having to fight!

Izzy good luck with booking in.

Amuminwaiting hope you feel better soon. Pregnancy isn't glamorous is it. As Izzy says, here's to an uneventful few months for you.

It has been eight days since my nuchal, so I'm hoping no phone calls in the next day or two and then I can relax and wait for the low risk letter. [Bites nails]

Good luck with the booking in izzy and FX for a good m/w.

You have the patience of a saint irene - are you jumping every time the phone rings? Gawd - I know I'd be.....

welcome amuminwaiting sorry about your losses. congratulations on your bfp.

Hello,

Amuminwaiting welcome to the thread. Make yourself nice a comfy, its a really good place to hang out while you worry your way through the 1st trimester. All these ladies are lovely.

Izzy I phoned several labs and the all tell me that they dont do bloods here in Costa Rica. I did debate flying to Miami, but cant really justify the cost (if I went all that way, I would do CVS and that is very $$$) so am just going to try and trust the low nuchal number and remember that DS's result was high, I had amnio and he was fine. Good luck with the booking in, hope you get a lovely sympathetic midwife - its definitely your turn to get a nice one!

Irene hard isnt it? I do hope you get your news soon, and that it is a lovely fab low risk number. xxx

waves to YRMOTB how are you? xxx

I've update the list but please check to make sure I haven't messed it up!

Thinking of.... hairy; ladybee; digi; A&R; barbie; harassed; MumTum; Knitter, Kat2504

I promise to sit quietly in the corner, rocking and mentalling to myself :)

hello battery!! welcome! make yourself comfy, I will put the kettle on . Anyone else for tea and biccies ? Or is it too hot over in blighty at the mo?

Hows the symptoms battery?

izzy yum, thanks for the nibbles :) glad MW went ok and she is not too fierce!

mummyA My boobs are really painful, and I seem to get sick around lunch and early evening, but only waves of nausea,nothing that stops me doing anything....yet!

battery welcome

izzy glad mw went well.

Hello all

Izzy great news re the MW and the referral, its always useful to find a pet one for future mentalling (I should know!)

Great news from the NT MummyA and understand your reasoning behind the CVS, you are so sane and rational!

welcome to the newbies amum and battery and a big yay to see you here.

great news mummya - so pleased for you.

daisy wow 20 week scan. you are allowed 20 minutes mentalling then please desist. and good luck tomorrow, you'll be just dandy.

sorry not to have really kept up over the last few days - dh has been poorly so instead of a nice Easter break where I could catch up on some much needed sleep I ended up on dd duties for four days. not that I mind, I'm just double pooped.

irene you are a saint - I have my nuchal scan a week today and I'm not sure I could be as patient as you. I'm sure I'd be irritating them with a stressy phone call. I've checked my starting stats (I'll be 40 by due date) and I start off at a very depressing one in 75. fx for good bloods and measurements!

Waves to cep, mamap, hils, izzy, velvet, tunnocks, pink, onions, dachs (and her bum) and all the wombats and everyone else I've embarrassingly failed to name check....

Still thinking of Kat - hope you are ok hun.

Kat really sorry to read your news. There's just nothing anyone can say, other than we'll keep the beanbag plumped in the VIP area. I don't blame you for getting rat arsed either, I think that was my reaction when I MC'd. Hope RL is being kind to you. Don't even get me started with how unfair life can be. We have good friends who tried for years to have children, suffering many MC's. They have now adopted 3 siblings who are lovely, but it turns out they are 3 of 8 now (4 older, 1 new baby). The BIRTH MOTHER has said she will keep having kids til they let her keep one, which is never gonna happen due to her drug/alcohol/prostitution situation. Life is f'in unfair sometimes indeedy.

Welcome amumin (rhymes nicely with a bun in....!), battery and YRMOTB, and anyone else I have missed. Been away a bit. Your beanbags have been kept pristine and plumped for you! I'm thinking after we get the nuchal results I may give up mine in here. My mentalling seems to have ceased for the time being.

MummyA good news on Nuchal results. I so hope mine go the same way!

Daisy sending you Zen like vibes for tomorrow hon. The phrase Grin and bare it comes to mind. I'll be thinking of you and virtually holding your hand.

I've got to get ready for work now so I'm just gonna have to wave to everyone else, poor show I know. Will try & do a proper name check soon, I promise.

Irene that's so tough having to wait for the nuchal results. However as you say you would hear sooner if it was high risk so no news is good news - just would be nice to have it in writing I guess! Hope you get through the next week with some fingernails left!

kat if you're lurking I hope you're ok xxx

onions you are very zen, I am at your lack of mentalling! Don't blame you for feeling re that adoption story, life is bloody unfair sometimes

mummya sensible decision re the blood tests/cvs. You are low risk - although that's not a 100% guarantee it's pretty damn good so now try and relax a bit

Good to see some more newcomers - maybe I can start moving up that list soon!!

Ps wombat and daisy good luck for tomorrow!!

congrats on your scan mummya

irene didnt you at least get to see the NT measurements to put your mind at rest a bit?

Izz glad your appointment went well and that you have a good mw

welcome to the mentalling amuminwaiting

hellooooo battery loverly to have you here, snuggle in to your bean bag and whatever you do DON'T mental quietly to yourself in the corner!

yrmotb yipppeeeeeeeeeee. See what happens when we ask the stork nicely I'm soooo happy for you

So I had my NHS NT/anomaly/dating scan today. I wasnt going to bother since we already had the NT privately but I'm so glad I went (not in the least because I had a load of brown stuff this morning!). The sonographer was great, went through all organs/limbs from top to bottom. Measured my cervix and blood flow in the cord and placenta. Bean was very wriggly and making us laugh a lot with its poses, it blew some kisses too which was lovely. I have also lost 4 stress days :) am now 14 weeks today so will update the list when I've posted this one.

I have a questions about rights at work stuff. I had low blood pressure today and had a few dizzy spells which are worse when I dont eat. I'm a teacher so its almost impossible to sit down in lessons and the kids will ask what im doing anyway. Tomorrow I am teaching all 5 periods and I have duty before and after school as well as break time which means I wont get to sit down between 8:20 and 1:10. Am I allowed to say I just cant do that? I'm hate "getting out of work" but I honestly dont think I can do a whole day like that.

Hello peeps!! Quick hi from me to say I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, but I have just returned from a mini break in sunny Scotland Still bleeding but not as much as two weeks ago (fingers crossed the jinx pixies didn't here that!). 20 week scan tomorrow and am seriously mentalling [thwacks self with haddock!]

Huge hugs to Kat if you are out there. I'm thinking of you and am so so to see your news. I hope you'll be back here again soon with a much better outcome xxx

Whoop to all scanners with great results esp old timers Mummya and Izzy* (and anyone else I've forgotten)!

Hello to lovely newbies! congrats on your bfps and super super excited to see yrmotb here!!!

Big hugs and lots of haggis/tablet/rubarb/aberdeen angus burgers and anything else that takes your fancy to everyone.

PS good luck to Daisy for your scan tomorrow xxx

Whoop also for Velvets scan!

Hi just very quick pop-in to freak! Brown spotting stopped yesterday but today had some (admittedly tiny ) pink bits of cm. Is this bad news? Can't get a scan till next week, or go to doc's for antibiotics for uti, as big inspection at work in next two days and my boss would really freak out if i even had a phonecall! Oh dear i think i need some fish slapping!

hi all....

been at the beach for a week, no idea whats going on in here... will catch up properly soon

Just seen on bookface What Babes news.... EEEEEEEK wonderful honey xxx

Hi Velvet glad scan was good When I was pregnant with DS I was teaching too (EFL though, so slightly different) and I thought I needed to stand up to teach - its amazing how you can adapt when you need to. I spent at least three months teaching from a sitting down position - it did feel wierd and I did feel that I wasnt doing a 100% brilliant job (like I normally do ) but its actually an really easy decision to make to chose between your health and keeping your boss happy. Also my students didnt mind one bit and were very helpful - once you have a visible bump people tend to give you a lot of leeway. Its always worth talking to your boss too and trying to negotiate the hours that you want.
