Just MC and ready to try again? Pregnant after MC and seeking somewhere safe to hide? Come on down to the shiny new baby-friendly MOSH PIT.

[MarthasHarbour]

There's cake for scoffing, backs for patting, and screeching death metal for all your METALLING moments. All welcome!

Our last thread reached 1000 posts so i hope you have all found your way here! I have steaming hot chocolate croissants (or as my colleague said 'chocolate pasties'), blueberry muffins, grapefruit segments and hot buttered toast for brekkie!

Settle into the mosh pit, we have special VIP area's for those on the 2WW, the new bumps metalling with segregated areas for the first/second/third trimesters and the club class cocktail bar for those who have just got AF and can get-pissed let loose for the first two weeks!

Oh I'm off the wine. And the coffee (how can you tell?) but I really can't give much of a fig about anything else. Especially having been told something different in every ... single ... pregnancy.

Excuse me whilst I go and eat some rare beef. I actually would be tempted to do some gnocchi with pesto after reading your menu apart from I can't be bothered making pesto tonight and the stuff I got from the supermarket last week is just vomit-worthy....it's just hanging out in the fridge waiting to be DD's dinner (poor kid)

Will be thinking of you tomorrow morning poppy at least it's at 9am so you don't have all day to metal!!!! I had my 20w scan last Monday (at 8.40am!) the sonographer was so lovely and she said to us 'have I scanned you before, you look familiar" to which I said 'sadly yes, it was when we had a miscarriage last year'. She was so so nice and explained everything on the scan, at the moment all looks okay but I won't be able to relax really till I have bubs in my arms.

I also finally told work last Thurs at 21w. They'd already guessed as it was pretty obvious but for me, I just didn't feel comfortable saying anything before then. It's a weight off my shoulders though as I don't have to try and hide bump anymore.

Someone I know was on Come Dine with Me last week when if was from Sheffield (woman with blonde hair and boobs!). Well, I don't really know her that well, i've met her once in the pub with some mutual friends!

missc so sorry to hear you are being so unsupported, that really is crap! Big hugs xxx Would you consider having a private scan? I have been fortunate in that my midwife has been amazing and giving me extra appointments as she does believe in TLC helping ladies who are pregnant after a miscarriage. I think I live many miles away from you though so my comment is of no use at all! x

Great to hear from you IQ you'll be the first to have your baby out of the BFPs since I came on this thread (I think??) Hope baby is doing ok with her diabetes treatment.

martha sorry to hear DS has been poorly! It really sucks doesn't it when the little ones are ill :(

manda hope you get your hair sorted! I had my hair cut too short recently so having been hiding what's left of it under a hat!

Sorry to not name check everybody, i'm a bit of a lurker these days and metalling like a full on metaller that somebody will still go wrong or be wrong with bubs xx

Poppy good luck for tomorrow, we can be scan buddies although mine is only 7 weeks so not expecting much, just hoping there'll be something and a heartbeat.

Be thinking of you.

ps - Martha of course i didn't mind

Hi everyone
Internet has been playing up again so havent been able to get on

Thankyou to all of you who were thinking of us Friday, I didn't have a very good day, I was probably being too optimistic thinking the due date would be ok

IQ glad little one has decided to stay put for the time being x

mad and poppy good luck with the scans x

manda sorry about the hair, hope you can get it sorted soon x

Anyway, we are going away tues morning so if I don't get on before good luck to all those who have af due soon, mine is due thurs and I'm sure others are due just after? Crossed fingers for bfp for us all x

poppy Good to see you! Hey, I didn't realise you had a March 2010-er... DS2 is a March 2010-er! I'm not being utterly crap and forgetting you or is it just that you didn't join the ante-natal thread (and subsequent post natal thread)? It's odd, I really do feel mostly this pregnancy will be ok yet I still can't seem to post on the antenatal thread; I don't wanna bring people down with my morbid thoughts that do creep in and the fact they do means I feel more at home here, y'know? Innyhoo, looking forward to hearing good news from you tomorrow - come on, poppyseed!

marff We just got back from a tapas restaurant and I blame you for pushing me there! I read your virtual dinner as DF walked in and that was it - we were going out! Prawn torpedoes to start and lamb cutlets with patatas bravas main. YUM!

pie thank goodness you told work - I have nightmares about it! I dream you go off on friday evening and call in sick on the monday morning: 'What's wrong, pie?' 'Oh, nothing too serious; I had a baby. Will be back in about a year, hmmmkay?' Hehe, well, not really I didn't dream that but you were kinda heading there!

missc perhaps give the gp another shot at getting you in before the 12w scan? I hate that you feel that way about the care you're getting, or not getting to be more accurate, when things seem pretty good in my area. Come and live with me! Of course, we're already horribly overcrowded in this flat and looking to buy a house very soon so you'll be on the sofa but you WILL be able to get a scan at a time to suit you!

moomins for you. Thanks for popping in and the heads up on you being away (I can't remember if you've said where to?).

mad Still got everything crossed. Frankly it's getting uncomfortable!

IQ Great to see you as always, although that it's not all good news. I do hope Grandad holds on to meet his great grandchild.

I'm probably forgetting someone - so sorry! I had a glass of sangria (uh, the baby wanted it!) and feel a bit tired now!

kali so sorry all is lost take care of yourself and get thee to the GP to record it on your records.

mad and poppy GL with the scans

missC sorry the scan hasn't happened. I second calling the GP again to try and rearrange or private scan if it's affordable for you (it wouldn't be for me so I get that it's not a possibility in some cases)

Hi to everyone else il have another read in the morning as I'm on my phone and can't check the thread while I'm typing (MN iPhone app)

Thanks for your best wishes all. Manda, keep everything crossed, no excuses . Just about to start drinking ridiculous amounts of water to hold in .

I'll pop in later if I can, off to Center Parcs today after the scan so the day will have a good end one way or the other .

Ps - Manda / poppy I've got a March 2010-er too!

Thinking of poppy and mad today.

Spare a thought for me as well I only just managed to get in to work when they rang me with an appointment for a scan in less than two hours time. And I need to take a urine sample and have a full bladder. What am I, superwoman? I've managed to rearrange two clients for the middle of the day so I can go but I still face a bumpy long bladder-jiggling bus ride in to the hospital. If they'd called me earlier it'd be have been so much easier. Oh and I'm going alone, of course. Boooooo. Oh and let's top it off I've left my mobile phone on the kitchen table.

I've already got a nervous tummy. But at least I've got an appointment, I suppose. Rearranging the clients will cost me but not as much as a private scan, and no matter how much I squinted at the figures we're way skinter than I thought so I wasn't going to be able to get one of those in any kind of good concience

missC good luck for your scan il be around all day if you need to talk...DD was up, dressed and ready for school and when we got there it is an inset day so im off work on dependents leave today!

Good luck MissC and good luck with the bladder holding. I need a pee already

Morning all,

Kalidasa, sorry about the loss. Glad you are feeling better physically at least, big hugs.

mad MissC and poppy good luck with the scans, i hope they all go brilliantly today.

moomins still thinking of you. Enjoy your trip.

I survived my family weekend, so now just trying to breathe normally again.

IQ sorry to hear you've been having such a hard time. I know a little of what you are going through as my DH's grandma was very ill for most of last year and it is hugely frustrating when either the doctors don't seem to be doing anything and/or genuinely run out of useful things they can do.

Poppy waiting with baited breath for your scan news. I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Not much to report from me other than my boobs continue to feel like I have been repeatedly punched and morning sickness has started properly today (no actually puking, just a very sickly feeling stomach which isn't helped by hot water or Rennies, usually my saviours.)

Had a totally random crying episode in the bath last night when I suddenly thought back to lying on the trolley waiting to be wheeled into theatre for my ERPC. I have genuinely not thought about that for months so it was really weird.

Anyway, many happy karnmic thoughts to all those with recent losses, TTC or living through the worry of being pregnant and wanting to stay that way.

Hello everyone. Good luck to all of you having scans.

I have bad cramps again today and I'm losing a lot of blood but despite that I do feel a lot better. It is a relief not to feel so tired and sick, though I feel a bit guilty thinking of it like that. I am working at the British Library today which at least has good coffee and now that I'm definitely not pregnant I can take proper drugs for the cramps too so that's something.

It's such a little thing but I'm glad I had my hair cut and my eyebrows done on Friday. At least I feel groomed! I think I might make sure I always book an appointment for around the expected end of my cycle in the future, so that even when things don't work out I feel positive about something.

Kalidasa, hope the cramps and bleeding will ease soon, sounds miserable.

As for me scan showed everything ok. 7+5 and heartbeat seen. not getting too carried away as it's still early days but further than the last 2 pregnancies so cautiously optimistic.

Hope Poppy & Miss C are doing ok xxx

Just a quick post from phone to say all is well, very wriggly tiny baby in there. They have moved edd by one day so now due 2nd September. So relieved so onwards to the next milestone! Good luck to the others having scans today I'll catch up properly later

poppy and madmen excellent news

Brilliant news poppy and madmen

Ditto from me. So pleased for you both.

Great news poppy & madm! :) Fab stuff!!

Hoping missc is ok x

Lovely news poppy and madmen

good news poppy and madmen.

I am 5+1 today. Feeling a bit knackered but no other symptoms. I never get much in the way of symptoms anyway.

I have stopped spotting now TMI but had sw(o)i yesterday and all was fine! I was worried it might bring the spotting back.

Hoping everything is ok at the scan next week. I am feeling confident so thats pretty good for me! DH and I have even been getting a bit excited.

I am taking my asprin and 5mg folic acid everyday and if everything is ok I will be learning how to inject myself with the Heparin after the scan eekkk!

wonderful news poppy and madmen

pebs how are you doing? Has the spotting eased off?

Oh my, I missed missCs post. Do hope the scan brings good news and (if only temporary) relief. Not fun it all ended up being a rush but with finances the way they are at least you have gotten a scan without having to shell out or just metal like crazy for another couple of weeks.
