Excellent news Kirrin. Hope everyone else is well.

I have low level nausea which abates when I eat. The result of this is that DH is currently preparing our tea 2 hours early because I have to eat NOW. He thinks I am quite bonkers.

I am still half convinced that the scan on Tuesday will show a MMC, but then DH points out that my symptoms have progressed since the last scan (from just a bit of nausea to sleeping all the time) so hopefully that shows some development. I hope so - if this goes wrong again I really am not sure I have it in me to try again.

JaffaSnaffle · 07/04/2012 17:04

Some good news here. So most of the pain has gone, think it is digestive. I spoke to EPU this morning, they were very nice, but said they were not very worried for me.

I have turned the dial on the metal meter down a few notches.

I think it is partly just because I know I am in the prime zone for mc, and because of the mmc history, feel my body could be up to tricks on the sly. I have lost my faith in my ability to carry a baby.

thank you for being voices of reason!

WhyAlwaysBoris · 07/04/2012 17:30

Hello everyone,

Mumtum congratulations on your wedding. FX for a honeymoon baby for you

Kirrin baby heartbeat

Jaffa, so glad the pain has gone. I know what you mean about MMC though, it completely undermines my belief in my own intuition. I' sure EPU would have had you in if they were worried. .

Hello and welcome to Sunshine and Cakeplease

GPB hope the AB's have now kicked in and you are feeling better.

I commenced the dreaded tww today, & suddenly realised that if i don't get a bfp this month then i've had it for a 2012 baby. In reality it is only another month either way but somehow doesn't feel like it. I started taking folic acid january 1st 2011 and suddenly 2013 rushing up and still no baby.

WhyAlwaysBoris · 07/04/2012 17:37

PS meant to put one of these into my message and i forgot:

there
happy easter everyone x

GrandPoohBah · 07/04/2012 17:38

Hi all,

Thank you everyone who nagged me to be seen - the antibiotics have kicked in and I'm now feeling a bit less like the walking dead but I'm so tired. I don't know if it's the pregnancy or the ill, but I've mainly spent the past two days napping. I've also started to get my appetite back which is sort of good except then I get the food aversion and general nausea which is pregnancy related. I can't win!

That's great news about the heartbeat, Kirrin :)

Jaffa, I know what you mean about your intuition. Weirdly, I totally thought I was doing fine last time except about 48 hours before our 12 wk scan I started to get a bad feeling about it. I just couldn't see us having a good outcome, and I turned out to be right.

I've had a bit more spotting over the last couple of days, but it seems to be sex related - so that's a lot less worrying (haha, who am I trying to kid?!)

I hope you're all doing ok, not too much mentalling going on.

GrandPoohBah · 07/04/2012 17:42

Ooh, and mumtum, congratulations - I hope you're having an amazing time :)

boris, I know what you mean. It felt really important for me to catch in the wtf cycle because I knew April would be hard - my 20 wk scan of the last pregnancy was booked in for the 16th and the due date of the last-but-one was the 26th. I was lucky, I hope you are too.

Sorry for having to do two posts in a row - literally unless I make notes, I forget peoples' names and what I want to say to them Blush I'm only 26, I can't have brain too full syndrome yet!

Tiago · 07/04/2012 17:48

GPB - it is never too early to have brain too full syndrome.

sunshinesue · 07/04/2012 18:29

I don't have any faith in my own intuition either. I knew 100% my first pregnancy wsn't too be, even told my husband not to get too excited when we found out I was pregnant because I was sure it would end in mc. Second pregnancy I thought 100% it woud be fine but it wasn't. At least this time I know not to take any notice of myself metalling as I've been wrong before and my intuition's clearly wonky Grin.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 07/04/2012 18:45

I really want a bath .... And yes hormonalness is making me cry because I can't have one. Blush we only have a shower and no relatives have one either but it's all I want to sink into some warm bubbles and relax for an hour.
I am grumpy and stressed, shower won't cut it!

sunshinesue · 07/04/2012 19:07

just twigged your username whyalwaysboris we named our cat after you Grin

leedy · 07/04/2012 20:04

Kirrin, great news! And Jaffa, glad to hear you're feeling better. I hear you on the paranoia.

MissCoffeeNWine · 07/04/2012 22:00

Aww tits you're welcome to use my bath.

Good news Kirrin

Hope you feel better soon Jaffa and everyone else metalling I understand.

Have a lovely Easter everyone [busmile] I'm exhausted tonight, but have my Easter hol tomorrow so we'll be doing an egg hunt in the garden. Good luck to anyone else hunting eggs tomorrow

WhyAlwaysBoris · 07/04/2012 22:07

sunshine I love The Wire but you are limited in finding user names from there if you exclude quotes with motherfker in them. I wonder if anyone has ever had OmarDevoneLittle Hmm

TitsalinaBumSquash · 08/04/2012 03:24
leedy · 09/04/2012 11:57

For some bizarre reason the only place I can sleep properly at the moment is on the not very comfortable fold out sofa bed downstairs - possibly because it's sufficiently far away from DP and DS that I know nobody's going to wake me up snoring/thrashing/getting up to go to the loo/demanding to get out of his cot (er, that would just be DS btw). I think DP feels a bit put out that I am spurning his company at night but if I don't get enough sleep I am like the walking dead. Actually am quite like the walking dead anyway. When does this bit stop? Can't remember from last times/brain broken. Bleurgh. At least I am reassuringly symptom-y, I suppose.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 09/04/2012 13:19

I've been like that leedy I am usually really cuddly at night and DP loves it, a couple of nights ago I found myself telling him when he asked "what can I do to make you comfortable?" to not touch me. Sad I am just so nauseous and hot and no position is comfortable!

It's the 2 year anniversary of my Mum's death today so I'm having some down time and a quiet dinner with family.

Really nervous about my scan Wed, I'll be going alone as well as DP will have to work.

NoMoreMarbles · 09/04/2012 15:51

Hi allGrin

Hope everyone has had a good BH weekendSmile

Still no AF hereHmm and BFN on an IC on Saturday afternoon... DH has said if AF hasn't arrived by Tuesday (1week late) he's going to buy a "proper" test...as in one that doesn't cost £2.50 for 20Grin I'm thinking tescos finestGrin so we shall see... I have no symptoms... None... Nil...nadaHmmConfused it's now CD37... That's even 2 days longer than my longest ever cycle....

NoMoreMarbles · 09/04/2012 15:52

and a big pot of Brew>

Enjoy!

Moominsarescary · 09/04/2012 17:15

Hello everyone, Internet has been down for a while week!

Hope everyone is ok, will try to go back through the thread later to see what's been happening x

kirrinIsland · 09/04/2012 18:09

Know what you mean about the walking dead leedy that's how I feel most of the time - I don't remember feeling quite so drained last time, I just can't be bothered to do anything.

Good luck with the scan tits I've got one on thursday and will also be gojng alone as DP will stay in with DD.
Sorry about your Mum - hope the day hasn't been too hard. My Mum died in September, so I know how it feels :(

Fingers crossed for you nomore tesco's finest sounds like a good plan :)

I am now over my positive feelings from Saturdays scan and am back to metalling - roll on Thursday! Will this nervousness ever end?

tedmundo · 09/04/2012 18:42

Hi everyone, please can I join in with the cake and metalling. I am a bit of an expert at both (said in a Daddy Pig kind of way!!).

I had a mc back in March and got my first AF since the mc today. That means I am starting a lovely fresh new shiny cycle where NOTHING dare eff up. Please .. let the metallling begin.

Once this af is out of the way, will prob just do the deed every other day and see what happens. That means I will not POAS until the May Bank holiday at the earliest.

I may need you to pin my arms down for that one though girls. And of course that is assuming I go neatly back into my 28 day cycle as before the mc.

Anyway, hello to you all, I have not read the whole thread but can see there are lovely ladies here with munchy babies growing beautifully in those gorgeous tummies and that makes me glad glad glad.... xxx

sunshinesue · 09/04/2012 21:16

Hi ted, sorry about your mc but you're in good company here. Good luck with shagging every other day (makes me feel tired just thinking about it)!

Good luck with the scans this week ladies. I'm going to get an early one but haven't done anything about it yet. I know if I wait until 7 weeks we've got a better chance of seeing a heartbeat (if all is well) but I'm impatient and may get one sooner and see what's there. I'm only 5 + 2 and have had a bit of brown spotting which makes waiting doubly hard.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 10/04/2012 07:17

Welcome Ted Smile

I was awake at 4am again this morning, unexplainable cross with myself for my recent lifestyle of hoovering up calories and fat like nobodies business and not moving unless its essential, I have already put on quite a bit of weight and I'm only 8+3 Blush
I know I'm pregnant and have to take it easy but this is silly!
I feel the need for proactive-ness today. I shall be walking to the post office with the boys this morning when they wake up, and I'll be going to the supermarket too. They are my days goals (I'm starting small!)

It seems silly I know but I have really been wallowing in worry and self pity the past several weeks, this can't continue!

Also, if the scan shows all is ok tomorrow I shall buy myself some maternity trousers, my jeans don't fit, I hate jogging bottoms and I haven't dared buy any mat clothes yet but I just can't go on living in fear. Sad it's very uncomfortable!

Anyway rant over, I'm off to get dressed and have a cuppa (decaf) before the Boyd wake up. Smile

pebspop · 10/04/2012 09:32

hi girls,

looks like it's been a bit quite here over easter. hope that means you were all out having a nice time!

tits your post office and supermarket plan sounds good to me - take it easy but try not to wallow!

welcome ted you are lucky to get af so soon. i had erpc on 16th march and am still spotting, never mind waiting for next af. i probably won't be ready to start again until june...

i had a nice weekend. i was on my friends hen party on sat. i got chatting to a midwife who gave me good confidence that i can get a baby! i was feeling really down about the whole thing, like it will never happen for me. she said it sounds like my twin pg was just 'one of those things' and probably not related to my clotting problems. i am looking forward to seeing the consultant at the end of the month and hopefully she will say the same.

had a night away with dh on sunday as well, that was lovely! back to work though now boooo!

pebspop · 10/04/2012 09:42

BORIS i know how you feel with the 2012 baby thing. i have no chance of a 2012 baby now and as my birthday is in january i will also be another year older before i even have a chance at another baby.

to me it feels like another year has gone by. my husband thinks i am a bit daft for thinking like this but i can't help it!

hope you get the bfp this month so you can have your 2012 baby!
