This is a thread for those of us on the bereaved mother's thread who want a place to moan about the perils of ttc without upsetting anyone over there. We've gone through at least one pregnancy, and we know what it is to hold a baby whose eyes will never open, or to have lost a baby after a few days, weeks or years. We know the fear, but we're going to go ahead and do it anyway. And then do it again, especially in the middle of the month!

Newcomers will be welcomed with all the hand-holding and wisdom we can summon up - and that's a lot! Come in and join us: the door is always open.

Good luck spilt let us know how you get on x

spilttheteaagain · 14/07/2011 09:05

Thanks all. We'll be off shortly. Awful night of disturbed sleep, nightmares and panic sweats! Had some kicks this morning so everything crossed. I'll let you know how we get on x

TooImmature2BDumbledore · 14/07/2011 11:10

Best of luck, Spilt - thinking of you and baby Spilt! Glad that she's been kicking away to reassure you.

That's awful about the cat's owners! What a terrible thing to happen.

AngelGeorgie · 14/07/2011 11:49

Good luck spilt poor cat owners. It really does feel like some people have pissed someone , " up there" off big time where as others drift through life without any problems ever... Life is incredibly unfair at times and not the shite is not distributed evenly. !!!

Back and everything is fine! GrinGrin
She's measuring about 35 weeks and I'm 34+5 now so perfect really. Plenty of fluid and definitely head down.
Sooo happy and knackered now!

Now I shall unpack my bag Blush (Had packed as if I was going to stay in and be induced/sectioned... overprepared, moi?)

How is everyone else today?

HorseyGirl1 · 14/07/2011 11:55

So glad to hear this. Have a rest for the rest of today - you must be shattered. I'd keep that bag packed, just so you won't have to do it again! xx

DeterminedToGetDiffedDachs · 14/07/2011 12:15

yay spilt So pleased for you. I'm with horsey I'd leave the bag packed - you never know what might happen now! :) And it'll save you packing it again in a couple of weeks :)

janedoe25 · 14/07/2011 12:46

spilt brill news! Hope you have a nice relaxing day now. x

spilttheteaagain · 14/07/2011 12:50

Yes it will stay mostly packed, just need to retrieve all the bits I need in the meantime, most importantly my laptop!

TooImmature2BDumbledore · 14/07/2011 13:02

Oh thank God for that, Spilt! Hurray!

Waiting...and waiting... and waiting. Still 9 days until I would expect to see my period (ie, CD35). May crack on Saturday (CD28) and buy a pregnancy test. I keep poking my boobs and they don't feel any different.

I have a v funny story I can't share with anyone else. Last night after DTD, I told DH that he ought to carry me to bed upside down, so that everything stayed in the correct place and did not escape Blush. DH started giggling and picked me up - cue much shrieking that he was going to drop me. The dog came racing up and danced round his feet barking with excitement. We made it to the bedroom without falling over the dog, DH dropped me on the bed, and the dog crapped IN MY SHOE!

DeterminedToGetDiffedDachs · 14/07/2011 13:06

must be a sign too Think of it like a rainbow Grin The dog's just giving you their little doggy blessing.

(Good on DH for being able to actually carry you to bed upside down - I think my DH would give me along hard stare like Paddington Bear if I said that)

DeterminedToGetDiffedDachs · 14/07/2011 13:07
spilttheteaagain · 14/07/2011 13:13

Fantastic too! Snorting with laughter here at the mental image and just imagining the look on your face when you saw your shoe! That's a dog with a good aim Grin

DeterminedToGetDiffedDachs · 14/07/2011 13:32

Got :) on OPK!!!!! Yay! Lots of activity in the dachs kennel then. Although DH is going away tomorrow and won't be back until Sunday night. What do I do. Is there any chance if I jump him tonight and tomorrow morning and Sunday night that there will be any way it might work? Am really worried that we're going to miss our chance...

ciwi · 14/07/2011 13:43

too laughing at my desk while pretending to do some work here! I am also impressed that your OH can carry you up the stairs!
spilt so happy that your scan was all good, now put your feet up for the remaining however many weeks!
determined definate chance if you swi on all those days. Chances are that you will ov tommorrow anyway. Yay for the :)

CheeseandGherkins · 14/07/2011 14:09

I feel so drained right now. Had a letter from the hospital this morning just with a dating scan appt for the end of August! Nothing about consultant appointment or early scans so I spoke to my gp again and he asked me to call the early pregnancy unit and explain which I did. Lovely lady on the phone completely understood and booked me in for a scan next Wednesday. not before I cried on the phone though, I could barly speak enough to give her my name and phone number! Really unlike me.

Horsey Glad you're feeling a little better, I hope you won't need that drs appointment.

TooImm Fingers crossed for ov! Just read your story, haha! Hilarious :o

Spilt so pleased your scan went well and that your baby is doing fine, you must be so relieaved! I'd keep it packed, not long to go now.

dachs I would definitely tomorrow morning and maybe tonight too depending on when you last dtd. Plenty of opportunity then

TooImmature2BDumbledore · 14/07/2011 14:50

He didn't carry me upstairs - we live in a bungalow! Stairs would be too scary. He is 5'11" and I am 5'2", so it is not as onerous as it sounds.

Grin at dog poo as a sign and a little doggy blessing, Dachs! Get doing that deed, swimmers can live up to 5 days and I think they definitely live for 2, so you should be covered for the weekend.

Cheese, so glad you got the scan moved, and I'm so sorry that you had to get so upset before they would sort it out. What happened to them giving you red-carpet treatment?? Grr.

ciwi · 14/07/2011 16:46

That sounds a bit more doable too had visions of you falling down the stairs head first!
cheese its so annoying when the don't get the monitoring you need and deserve. How far along will you be for your first scan now? I have supposedly been urgently referred to the medical dissorders in pregnancy clinic but heard nothing yet. I think I will ring them on Monday and chase it up if I still haven't heard by then.

AngelGeorgie · 14/07/2011 17:00

Yeh Spilt fab news. So pleased all is well xxxx chill out now!
Dachs I say go for it as much ad possible. What harm will it do??
Too hee hee!!! Bless your dog xx

greenzebra · 14/07/2011 17:30

spilt that is brilliant news, deffo on keeping the bag packed.

Dachs we are in the same boat, so fx for the both of us.

DeterminedToGetDiffedDachs · 14/07/2011 17:34

Good luck zebra I'll have every feasible crossed for both of us as well :) It's been a lucky thread so far, so hopefully.................

ciwi · 14/07/2011 17:53

Hoping for a clean sweep of bfp's on this thread, how nice would that be?

Bluetinkerbell · 14/07/2011 18:00

right who can point me in the right direction? Today my chart and ovulation tests and pregnancy test arrived Wink how do I start charting now? I haven't had an AF yet since giving birth. I don't want to get totally obsessed by getting pregnant, but I would like to keep an eye on how it all goes though!

I was really shocked by someone of my parish today. I know it's not easy to say the right thing but still. She said: 'I'm sorry about your problem...' I just said it's ok. But in my head I was shouting 'I don't having a problem... I lost my baby!'
Is it so difficult to just say I'm sorry you lost your baby?
