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.

OK, I succumbed to the need for another scan today. Found out the flavour!

Looks like we're having one of each [cgrin]

DH grumpy because he wasn't there, but happy because he wanted one of each.

The girl was proving difficult and refused to wriggle into a decent position to see her, and the boy was wriggling all over the place but kept his legs open so we could tell what he was

dach oh how lovely. congratulations to you both.

Oh wow congrats on some fab scans velvet wombat and dachs and how lovely to know what they are! (dh will never let me find out!) . One of each too dachs - very well planned!

daisy keeping fx for good news from you too. Re finding out, why don't you ask the sonographer to write it down and put it in am envelope for you to look at later?

Congrats to harassed and welcome to the mentalling!

mummya well done on the job woo-hoo!!! I have no idea re mat leave/cover out there, but suggest you just play it by ear a bit, these things usually fall into place at the last minute

this is the first time I've done this - so forgive me for any cock ups....

and look at us all heading into double figures!!!

Dachs what wonderful news, I'm delighted for you. Same sex twins would be fantastic but one of each is the cherry on the cake. I can't wait to find out the sex of mine, I secretly think it is a girl this time.

Feeling sick still, I thought it was going off a bit at 11 weeks but oh no - and am having tuna sandwich cravings. Am still unbelievably tired all the time, I'm sure I could sleep all day. Am having to make humongous efforts to do things with DS when he's not at nursery, I'd quite happily leave him in front of cbeebies if it was up to me, which of course wouldn't be fair to him. Can't wait to feel human again.

Dachs - your news was so heartwarming - almost made me weep!

Desperately fighting back the temptation to have another scan.... the next few weeks are going to drag.

MummyA - congrats on the job... As Izzy said, these things always work out. You probs just can't see now why it's "meant to be".

My chin is covered in three huge painful spots. Hoping that's a positive sign.

Loving being off work. DH just "invested" in a shed and has spent the entire afternoon inside it faffing around with gawd knows what. I however just spent the past two hours baking. Banana bread and cupcakes. [csmile]. .

dachs fantastic news!!! Am [cenvy] of you knowing what flavours - not sure I'm going to be able to find out thanks to bloody west herts NHS trust. I wonder if the girl pup is the one that's always been chilled out - IIRC there's always been one that bounces up and down like a loony and the other that is usually half asleep [cgrin]

mummya congratulations on the new job!

irene I went through a phase of eating tuna baguettes for breakfast at work - completely freaked my colleagues out.

I've got to go to the clinic for another 2000 calorie fat drip to keep my immune cells in line tomorrow, although the upside is that I should get a cheeky 30 second scan of pinkbean [cgrin] Like dachs I was struggling with having to wait to get confirmation that everything's still ok in there so the timing's good really.

lara invested in a shed??? V. weird. Having said that, DH and I looked at a house the other day which he is super keen for, mainly because it has a workshop in the garden. Whoop [cconfused] Mmmmm cake!

pink yep - girl pup is the chilled one, boy pup is the consistent wriggler. Good luck tomorrow! :)

wombat Yay for wombybean!

mummya Congrats on the job. Have a (can't do a champagne emoticon so red wine will have to do!)

lara Sounds v domesticated!

Has the gorgeous yrmotb taken up her rightful place on her much protected beanbag?! Congrat's again sweets, so glad you're with the gang....

On phone as work ultra busy!so, big waves to y'all hope everyone and beans are behaving

ooooh I want a tuna baguette now

irene sorry you are feeling sick, I know how miserable that feels, hope its over soon but in the meantime remember what will get you through it is to lower your standards with EVERYTHING and just rest as much as poss. Sorry about the wait for nuchal but at least you know slow news normally means good news.

Dach how exciting!! You can have double the fun shopping for pink stuff AND blue stuff!!!

pink enjoy your sneaky scan, I am sure everything is fine, you have come a long way!

lara lovely image of domestic bliss with DH in shed and you baking Our version is DH watching football and me ordering pizza express

So it turns out the translation work is do-able even with DS running around me as I type. Its 2000-3000 words a day, I have just done 1500, in about 1.5 hours so its not full time. I should get faster too as I get used to all the repeat terminology. The tough bit is that the words keep coming, mon-fri and there are no holidays ever! re: maternity leave, even if I did qualify (i think you might have to have been working for more than a year maybe) I would feel too guilty to take it, it just seems a bit unfair and wrong. Feeling very guilty as it is that I havent told them. I think I will try and find a friend/contact who can take over for me when I have the baby and let the company know when I have got something set up.

hope you all have a lovely day and Wills and Kate fever is not too annoying - its taking over more and more channels over here now, hate to think how bad it is in the UK

much love xxxx

Hello all Now own up you lot, who first mentioned these? Have had such cravings!

Woo hoo on MummyA's job news - sounds fab!

Dachs thats such lovely news, am welling up reading it, fantastic

Scan was all fine despite blubbing in the car park before hand and afterwards. Still no connection with bean and was completely sullen throughout scan and MW appointment afterwards - they must think I am a right frigid cow

Didn't ask about the sex at the time but now wish I had, esp on hearing everyone else's news today. The sonographer didn't make a note of it either - don't know if she'll be able to remember if I phone tomorrow?

OH is being a darling thank goodness, although he's clearly freaked out by my head.

Sorry for off-loading yet again, you lot are completely wonderful!

yay wombat daisy and dachs on lovely scans.

I forgot to say too that my flavour is meant to be blue :) although the doc said its only 80% certain until a bit later.

Well done mummya on your new job

I'm still dancing around on the tables and grinning like a loon for yrmotb

Am updating the list to take account of my seemingly supersized bean - I'm feeling quite smug that he is so big considering I'm off meat and cant possibly be getting enough protein to him!

Daisy so pleased the scan went well. I'm sure they see all kinds of reactions at the hospital, so I shouldn't give it another thought. Sorry, it was me and pink going on about the waffles - had to send DH out this pm to get another box

Dachs lovely news about the scan, it made me coo. I've got niece and nephew twins and my BF has one of each twins too. They are an absolute joy!

mummy glad the work seems achievable timewise - phew!

lara thanks for yummy cakes!

to everyone else, off to mental and try not to cry watch DIY SOS

oh dachs about the dog pills, are they big enough to weigh one then smash it to powder and just split the powder into 4 equal weights?

Congratulations Dachs. I'm not planning on finding out but would like there to be at least one girl in there. Dh wants to find out so I've told him he has to find a way to get the sonographer to communicate it to him without me knowing. Any ideas?

I felt mine move for the first time last night which was very exciting. According to heart beats this morning they're both on the same side of stomach. It's going to get a bit squashed in there....

Hope everyone is as well as can be.

Dachs What lovely news! I have 2 friends with b/g twins and in each set the boys are very protective over their sisters, I love watching them together! I saw these and thought of you!

What a lot of lovely news from yesterday! So pleased for all the good scans - daisy, dachs, velvet and wombat - nothing nicer than a pink wombat in my expert opinion [cgrin]

Good going on the job mummya -that was quick!

Sorry if you're having to repeat info pink, but what's the calorie drip for? Hope you get a nice pic of pinkbean today.

Good luck too for blackkat scan today - hope you manage to get the external scan you want [csmile]

Wedding fever seems pretty full-on here too - I can't get enough of it though - I seem to have turned into a right royalist [cblush]

Just quickly checking in to say congrats to all the scanners. It's especially heart warming to here dach's b/g news. You're going to have so much fun shopping for them.

Is it just me, or has time started to fly by now? My first few weeks went super slowly, but now its going really fast. It helps that I'm on holiday in France, they always go quickly. We told most of DH family and friends whilst we've been here. It's been impossible to hide since I had to avoid so many things: wine, champagne, foie gras, pate, most cheese, cured meats, chocolate moose...I've hardly been able to eat anything. It's much harder being pregnant in France.

A quiet day on our dear old thread, everyone must be gearing up for wedding fever?! Myself unfortunately am typing this quicky from my sickbed. Have got a nasty D&V bug, seems to have gone through all the women of the family and left the men alone

Just wanted to say great scan news everyone. Things are going well eh, and super quick like Ninunina said!

I got my nuchal results in the post today, only 8 days after the test! Came back low risk, so I is one happy relieved girl, although I can't muster up the energy to show it at the mo [cgrin]

Can't leave goodies today, they'd be infected [cblush]

Hello all I am 2000 calories up on where I was this morning but because none of it has touched my stomach I'm staaaaeving!! wiw it's because I've got an elevated natural killer cell which can cause problems in early pregnancy, but they've found that this fat infusion reduces its effects. They've decided I'm far enough along now to not need it anymore so today was my last one!

onions sorry you're ill, that sounds grim!!

Hope everyone has a fab long weekend! I'll defo be watching the wedding-I love weddings!!!!

Just a quick one to say congrats to Dachs on b/g! How lovely!!

onions Hope you are feeling better soon, cannot imagine D&V on top of MS!

Feeling queasy so going to lay back down now. Hope everyone is ok. Roll on MS sickness going away (pretty please)...

wiggle those t-shirts are FAB! I've had to order some... I had no choice.

onions hope you feel better soon

pink glad to hear it was your last one and they think you are 'safe' now. How's the house hunt going?

Lara you can't go wrong with a shed, I'm a big fan of them whether a tool shed or a place to have a cuppa. Perhaps it is the gardener in me.

Onions [sidles away fearing germs] hope you feel better. Glad you got a good nuchal result. Mine's not come yet, but they say the longer the wait the better the news.

Pink that's good news, glad they think you're in the safe zone now.

Had a lovely morning on the beach. DS was happy playing with his little friend and we were watching the gannets diving for fish. It is so nice to live by the beach. It is so new to us as we only moved here in October and it is the first time the weather has turned summery.

Hello all,

I posted on a different thread and your delightfully aptly named thread was recommended to me.

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and have only had mild pregnancy symptoms: slightly sore boobs, bloating, some constipation, twinges and pulls in my uterus and noticeable tiredness. The mildness is not concerning. I had mild symptoms with my first pregnancy and I am lucky enough to have a DS aged 2. However, yesterday evening my symptoms stopped very suddenly.

I had a MMC in November last year. The baby died at 7 weeks, but I didn't start bleeding until 10 weeks. I wasn't paying so much attention to my symptoms in my last pregnancy, but I did notice that my symptoms had gone a day or two before I started bleeding.

Obviously, I am very, very anxious that I am miscarrying again.

Has anyone else experienced this, and what was the outcome.

I have a scan booked for next Thursday (booked some time ago, not because of my current concerns), so I may as well wait it out, I suppose...

Hello!!

Thought I'd stay after my freaking out yesterday....[cblush].

Dachs brilliant news on your scan!! How very clever of you [cgrin].

Wombat congratulations!

Pink good to hear you're safe now.

onions sounds awful, hope you feel better soon.

Irene that sounds blissful......... am a tad jealous.

Yarnie sorry to hear you're worried. I was freaking out yesterday and my mw told me it was very normal for symptoms to come and go. Hope it's good news for you x

Today is tough!! I'm 5+1 today, and it was 5 weeks ago yesterday that I had mc no. 2......at 5+1. Will be glad to get safely through the day......

After panicking about vanishing soreness of boobs, they're back to being sore! Phew. Mind you that could be where I keep giving them a quick squish to check [cblush]. Tough this being prg after mc, but have to say I'm looking forward to a lovely long weekend to relax, chill out and spend time with dh and dd.
