Just MC and ready to try again? Pregnant after MC and seeking somewhere safe to hide? Come on down to the mosh pit for some serious metalling and cake

[MarthasHarbour]

Continuation of the last thread.

There's cake for scoffing, backs for patting, and screeching death metal for all your metalling moments. All welcome so come on in and get settled into the plush sofas!

Dictionary:

So 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!

The standard 'form' of the thread is the first one on in the morning brings the brekkie!

And this will be a very special thread, it is the one where our first 'graduate' gives us our first bambino Go on IQ give us a twirl if-you can be arsed in your full term state

if you do ring st marys boris let me know what they say.

i live in the north west but wouldn't mind a day out in london to get an extra test that i can't have up here.

i am not sure how much more testing my consultant could have done on me. i seem to have had the full range thats available on the nhs at my hospital. i suppose they are thinking there must be something wrong to give me a treatment plan - they just can't find it on a test.

i wonder if i have a different treatment plan to you far as my mc's have been at later dates so implantation seems to be ok for me. i have got past my dating/nt scan twice now.

Pebs will talk to DH about it tonight the instance he gets through the front door and hopefully give them a ring tomorrow. Will let you know what they say. Am going to shut up now for a bit as i feel i've derailed the thread slightly to my own mad obsession....

boris I was tested by consultant at the Whittington for everything and they found nothing. Referred to st Mary's after many losses and the clotting result came back showing I have an issue. I self medicated with my DD 75mg of aspirin and carried to term before my referral to st Mary's. I am now on 150mg under prof regan and so far so good. I just took aspirin anyway though with DD and for me I am convinced it is what made the difference. I stopped taking it though and went on to have issues with placenta and my D was low birth weight. Hope that makes sense but in a rush at work. Getting the test is well worth it.

hi

just marking my place to read later... lordy you lot can TALK!!

nowt new here apart from a bowing collarbone and an urgen referral...so not a chest infection afterall...

see you lot later

boris you have not derailed the thread, we are here to offer support where we can and if one of us in in full metal throttle then that one gets VIP treatment i cannot advise you on your questions but i can see that you are getting lots of help here which is what we are all about.

pebs i have been thinking of you, and can understand how frustrating and this must all be. Holding your hand

marthas sorry you're not feeling well (secretly hopes it's the 'bfp cold' several of us on here have had ) I had a reasonably early night and an ok sleep and have concluded I was mainly just overtired with a dose of pregnant stuffy nose making me feel like I was coming down with something

pebs thinking of you lots, thursday is getting a little closer but still think the waiting is just hideous!

boris I find it so frustrating that the tests available around the country on the NHS vary so widely! So glad you have people here who's brains you can pick on it all though!

Was just a quick check in as I must get back to work...colleagues have tried to be helpful with my project whilst I was off but have managed to delete a load of stuff I did before I went away which is rather frustrating!!

pebs you are always in my thoughts

boris you are not derailing, also remember there will be people reading these posts and lurking but perhaps taking comfort from the fact there are others in the same position and/or learning something.

very best of luck.

blue i knew you would mention the BFP cold! am on your behalf about your colleagues helpfully deleting stuff!

Hello!
5 weeks & 3 days today and so far, i am still pregnant today.

Feeling very pregnant, but as you all know this means absolutley nothing.

im going to make an appointment for the GP this week, for pain killers (at the ready) and folic acid 5mgs.

Then next week, im going to trot along to EPAU for an early scan.
6 weeks should show up if there is a baby there or not...if i am still pregnant.

This is just slow torture quite frankly. you would think that i would be well used to it all by now.

mrsnesbit right there with you on the slow torture. pebs too I'm sure - thinking of you and hoping against hope for Thursday. And far and tits and everyone else also in the slow torture club.

What a great club

boris I'm sorry your results were not conclusive and you'e not getting the tests and help you want. Sounds like you're getting good advice here though.

martha moomins and bonzo fingers crossed for BFPs this month!!

I am metalling, again. Call it gushgate two. Whatever the hell fluids come out of me I really with they wouldn't pool and gush. Freaks me the fuck out. I hate fluids. What is it all anyway. Stupid drooling freaky fanjo.

Just add that to what I can only say are Braxton Hicks. HOW they can be BH I have not a clue but there they are. Big fat tightenings, whole abdomen contracts and goes taut, then release. Feels like they are squeezing the baby.

Anyone had BH at only 15 weeks so I can cross it off my mental to-do list? It might have been something to do with some, um, jolly morning fun

Afternoon. :)

Just a quickie to sat hello :)

I just fell on my bum in DP's new office chair, he sits in it and leans back and looks like he is the most comfortable place ever, I sit in it, lean back and the farking thing tips and I find myself legs akimbo. Hopefully young bean is well cushioned so is safe in there.

I am very achey today, I have hyper mobility syndrome and being pregnant just aggravates it ten fold so I'm hurting!

Hope all is well. x

Just a quickie from me to say to missC that I have been having what can only be described as Brixton hicks since about 14+5 or so. I had so many in the end with ds I am in no doubt as to what they are! Feels like I have to catch my breath and abdomen goes rock hard...can't quite believe they happen so early but dr google reliably informs me that it's normal...

Hee Hee "Brixton hicks" that could be something entirely different.....silly iPhone

Sorry, for no usual rambling namecheck-y post, just woken from an hours nap feeling groggy as hell but wanted to assuage some of missC s metalling by confirming that, this time, yup, I have been getting lots of braxton hicks (which involve less rioting than than their cousins, Brixton Hicks (showing my bloody age there! - incidently, I'm another '73er )) since 15 weeks. I thought it astonishingly early but as poppy says it seems quite common - and I find them worse if I'm dehydrated.

Oh, and loving the pics marff! There are no wrinkles on you, bloody liar!

And another bit of reassurance: tits when I was 7 weeks pregnant with DD (my first) I was working as a waitress. I had a tray full of stuff and managed to fall down two steps. Not thinking, I held onto the tray, holding it out in front of me, hoping to save the stuff on it and kinda fell flat on my stomach. It would have been comedy gold but for the fact I was pregnant! Well, I was young and terribly naive to Stuff That Goes Wrong in those days and after having a five minute sit down carried on with my shift, feeling ok and didn't worry about it at all...

DD turned 17 nearly two weeks ago.

I really think you'll not have 'dislodged' your teeny little nipple - they are so well protected. But totally understand why you'd worry... although, your 'legs akimbo' description makes me wonder if it wasn't some nefarious plan on your DP's part to get you into position, iyswim?

Evening all...the Brixton reference did make me giggle! Not sure if I've had any yet but being dc1 I'm not totally sure what to expect from them...my bump just seems to ache a lot at the moment and mini blue seems quite unhappy about my having sat at a desk all day rather than being up and about as I have been for the last week - cue mad kicking from within at my trouser waistband restricting bump! Think I was also lying about not getting a cold earlier as I definitely feel as though I have more symptoms of that variety again this evening...Ho hum!

Hope all those in full metal mode are doing ok

hi all! missc yes that makes more sense, I did think after I posted that there was something amiss with my thinking, in my defence I'm not firing on all cylinders atm. At work I'm just a warm body, moving bits of paper around and avoiding people. Hopefully next week I'll be more on the ball. I had some acupuncture today, couldn't sleep last night and decided I just needed to do something to help sort myself out. I definitely feel more relaxed now and less exhausted.

pebs thinking of you still x

tits try not to worry about your bump. If its any reassurance I fell off a big (17 hands, over 5 ft at the shoulder) horse going quite fast when I was 14 weeks with DS. Covered in bruises and grazes ( don't worry, horse was fine). Then had to walk a couple of miles back to stables as horse pissed off back without me. No cramps, no bleeding, baby all fine. I think if they are sticky they stick.

tits, I am hypermobile too! When I was younger I quite liked it, I did ballet and it was a huge help. Now, even though I still have the old party piece of being able to put my foot behind my head, I absolutely hate it. My hips in particular are really bad. Many sympathies. Are all your joints bad, or just particular ones?

tas hope you feel more like yourself soon .

pebs, I am thinking about you a lot.

msC, hope you have no more gushes. When is your next appointment.

mumtum, have a fabulous time at your wedding.

boris, I am so sorry about your experience. It is so very frustrating, particularly about the placenta. I cannot help you about pm, ironically, I only asked for my baby's placenta to be tested after my mc, but I am thinking about you. I found the consultant meeting hard, it stirred up all sorts of emotions that I had been trying to lay to rest. I hope you manage to find a way through the system to get sone proper answers.

Martha, I like your pictures a lot. Your little boy is lovely! And I am a NWer, exiled in the East, but NW in me bones!

Sorry not to do any more name checking. Hello to everyone. I have had a shit day. My DD has vomiting bug, and it has been pretty grim. She is asleep now, but keeps waking and being sick. Once the washing machine has finished, I will be getting into bed. God knows what the night will bring.

Yep I think we have coined a new typo;

Brixton Hicks; the art of rioting in utero, can start from as early as 14 weeks. Well they do start them young in Sarf Larndon...

Oh and you guys are too kind, DH has a multi trillion megapixel camera and is under strict instructions to stop doing close up shots of the wrinkles! I think those pics were at long range

Gotta go, DH has just started groping me.

Good he has gone now, gave up when I told him I was still poorly and just wanted a cuddle, he sloped off all sheepish

jaffa thank you I am biased but do think DS is adorable! Funny too as I am a NE Geordie girl now exiled in the NW. With a detour darn sarf.

Uh oh he's back

Can I have a very early morning me me me????

Considering your all probably in bed I've decided that I can!!! Somehow I've managed to get the lergy - I feel like boiled sh#*e (can't remember who's line that is but it is appropriate so I'm using it).

So I'm lying here, wide awake in a bed full of used tissues and praying this doesn't last long.......flipping lergy!!!! On the plus side the LO seems unaffected as she is dancing in there so trying to stay positive. I've decided to take the giant malteaser downstairs for something to eat - I might as well be doing something I can still enjoy!!!

Hi all. Sorry you feel so lousy iq and hope the lurgy passes quickly.

7+2 here now and no change. Scan on monday (about which my brother is getting excited even if I am not ). Possibly starting to get m/s - feel a little queasy in a morning, but it passes fast and I don't actually throw up, so maybe it's just my body protesting the idea of getting up.

Morning :)

I have the consultant at lunch time, god knows what they have to say at this early stage.
I feel decidedly queasy this morning and my sleep has been quite disturbed by restless leg, poor DP keeps getting booted in the back.

Jaffa My pain is mainly my hips and knees, the rest of me is still very flexible though, I can however still get my leg behind my head and I can still do the splits. :o

I hope everyone is well, sorry you're feeling poopy IQ.

Hope the consultant appt goes ok tits. Will they be scanning you?

Got a question for you girls - something different for us to think about!

My friend from school (who I have only been back in touch with for a couple of years we lost touch about seven years ago) has invited me and dh to the evening reception of her wedding. She text me this morning to see if we want to come all day ( obvs someone has dropped out). I would like to go but dh will not even entertain the idea. He says he won't be going all day. He does moan about attending weddings in the part but always has a good time when he is there. He doesn't really know the bride and groom but i would like him to get to know them. Not coming to their wedding will put a dampner on that. He will come to the evening for a while. Should I go on my own or should I make an excuse for us both? Or should we just stick to the original plan of just going to evening?
