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! Wink

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

I don't think they'll scan, I only had one on Monday and at 5 weeks there wasn't a lot to see yet! :)

I would go to the wedding if I were you. Smile

pebspop · 21/03/2012 10:32

i think i will be going to the wedding as i won't be missing out just because dh is a misery guts!

what excuse am i going to give for him though? should i just say he doesn't like weddings so he will just come to the evening?

i suppose we have only been invited as an after thought anyway so i shouldn't get too hung up on offending my friend. i am going on the hen do as well.

he did this a couple of years ago and after i accepted an invitation was adament that he wouldn't come. even on the day of the wedding he was saying he wasn't going. he did come and really enjoyed himself grrrr.

i know there will be other girls going on their own as they are single but i feel like a tit going to a wedding without my husband.

BlueCrane · 21/03/2012 10:58

pebs you could easily say that DH is busy during the day as you'd thought you wee just going in the evening which elaves you free to go for the day and he can join you later on?! Smile Is the wedding soon? I have been to a couple of weddings on my own and it is a bit odd without DH...just make sure you have a good 'reason' for why he's not there as everyone will ask!!

tits hope your appointment goes well

IQ sorry about the lurgy...rest well and hope you're doing ok! I can't seem to work out whether I have it or not...or whether it's just 3rd trimester tiredness and stuffy nose which have caught up with me (I feel exhausted!!)

I had all manner of strange dreams (nothing too weird but a bit strange from what I can remember!) last night which seemed to feature a number of you from this thread Blush that'll teach me for Mnetting just before bed!!

Right...now I'm full of yummy scone, jam and cream I'll do some more work and try and hide the jam stain on my top from where I dropped a piece - do'oh!

BlueCrane · 21/03/2012 10:59

PS pebs FWIW my DH would probably say the same thing as yours and not want to go!!

MarthasHarbour · 21/03/2012 11:13

blue i have had dreams about this thread too! Blush

pebs i dragged took DH to a wedding he didnt want to go to year ago and he had a right miserable face on him. he is not usually like that but didnt know the couple and i wished i had gone on my own!

Well AF got me this morning Angry its my own fault, we only DTD twice this month, we agreed that was a piss poor effort! Anyway, that means i can drink wine this weekend at the IL's Grin

Looks like i missed brekkie but will glady partake in cream tea Smile

hang on in there IQ Grin

Afternoon all,

iq sorry you are feeling so pants, don't want to deal with snot and labour so hope it buggers off soon.

peb I would go solo, say DH now has plans for the day and get him to join you.

Scary positive woman has returned. Been to RMC at St Mary's. Scan still looking good, growing as it should. Strong little HB. They are all chirpy and positive so allowing myself to be too. They say as TEG detected and treated chances of success gone from 30% to about 80%. Still we know what it feels like to be in the unlucky 20% so trying to keep my feet on the ground.

Big wave at you all, all be it a feeble, tired wave x

BlueCrane · 21/03/2012 13:28

Grrrr for AF marthas time to go for a Christmas bundle!!

midget so glad mini-midget seems to be doing ok Grin How many weeks are you now?

I want to sleeeeep....just been for a walk around the block outside to try and wake myself up but the office is just sooo warm as they haven't switched the heating off yet Angry I would be roasting hot without beany bump pumping extra heat into me!! It's only March and I have flip flops and a sleeveless top on which is just silly...and I'm still too hot!

Midgetm · 21/03/2012 13:32

I am only bloody 8+4. Being a metaller I knew from conception so seems like a life time.

And here's sticking 2 fingers at AF but clinking wine glasses - the only silver lining to AF's blooming horrible cloud. chin chin Martha x

pebspop · 21/03/2012 14:26

the wedding is in about 6 weeks. it sounds more common than i realise then that dh's don't want to go to weddings.

mine always moans like hell about going to them esp. when he doesn't really know anyone. i suppose i can't really blame him in a way but i wish he would come for my benefit. i would put money on it that he is moaning on the day that he isn't coming and what is he going to do all day on his own - men!

i haven't replied to my friends text yet as i was hoping he might change his mind at work today. he rang me earlier but i didn't mention it.

it is weird to go on my own, but i will know people and probably have a better time to be honest!

i am getting very nervous for tomorrow. i keep secretly hoping that something good will happen and there will be a miracle heartbeat on the scan but i know that it a dangerous road to go down as we all know no heartbeat last week makes that very unlikely.

MarthasHarbour · 21/03/2012 14:30

oh pebs Sad i just dont know what to say. i shall hold your hand and have that little bit of hope for you too. x

Midgetm · 21/03/2012 15:05

Let my mad positive alter ego have hope for you peb x

TitsalinaBumSquash · 21/03/2012 15:08

Afternoon ladies Smile

Long apt at the hospital, basically I have to be scanned at 8 weeks, if all is well I then have to be seen every 2 weeks and scanned every 2 weeks after 20 weeks and weekly bp checks. Apart from that I continue with heparin injections until 6 weeks post birth.
I am exhausted, now back to the hospital for DS1's cf clinic.

pebspop · 21/03/2012 15:21

what are you taking heparin for tits?

do you take asprin as well?

MumTumWanted · 21/03/2012 15:35

What are you on them for and what it 2x weekly scanning for

MarthasHarbour · 21/03/2012 15:55

mumtum have you got any ICs? It could be implantation Hmm

OP posts:
Moominsarescary · 21/03/2012 16:34

pebs I'd probably just say he had to do something work related, will be thinking about you tomorrow x

Martha sorry af has turned up

midge yey for the scan

tits glad they will be keeping a close eye on you

Af hasn't shown it's face yet, although not holding out much hope

TitsalinaBumSquash · 21/03/2012 16:38

I am taking Fragmin (was Clexain for the last 2) injection once a day because I had a pulmonary embolism in my first pregnancy. It's a preventative thing. Scanning is for growth because I had pre eclampsia

Midgetm · 21/03/2012 16:54

Mumtum have you POAS?

MumTumWanted · 21/03/2012 17:56

Midget last poas was Sunday morning and bfn was 14 then .... I'm normally a regular 15 dpo then af kinda gal...

Martha I have an asda cheaply guess I could try tomorrow am ConfusedHmm

tasmaniandevilchaser · 21/03/2012 19:42

ooh mumtum fx for you

pebs hope it goes ok tomorrow and the docs and nurses are good. My DH is quite introverted but he doesn't get a choice about coming with me to social functions like weddings. (Confirmation I am a bossy boots!)

midget so pleased appt went well! Just a quick question, after your ectopic, how long before you could think 'yes I can face trying again?' and was it that positive midget?! and is there possibly a crazy positive tas in me somewhere?!

martha your DS is SO CUTE!!! Love the glasses, bless 'im!

iq hope you're feeling better, I've had a lurgy and it's been a horrible one, just getting better now.

I had some acupuncture yesterday, and it helped me to sleep better, I do feel a bit more normal today. Hoping that just carrying on as normal will eventually have me feeling normal.

Hello to everyone else!

tasmaniandevilchaser · 21/03/2012 19:42

forgot to say martha what flipping wrinkles???!!

pebspop · 21/03/2012 19:49

Thanks tas! Am dreading the hospital tomorrow. I have decided I am going to ask for a refferal to st marys and see what they say.

I have text my friend to say dh has taken on a job which will mean working saturdays so he can only come to evening. I think I could have bullied him into coming but what's the point? I am not in the mood for any sulking. My friend hasn't text me back though so maybe I have ruined her seating arrangments by coming alone. Lol.

Hopefully I will be asleep soon then it will be time for hospital. At least the pregnancy symptoms come in handy for something! I have spent 50% of the last week asleep.

Moominsarescary · 21/03/2012 20:06

When should I poas? How long do people wait after af is due?
