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 overindulgence

[WhyAlwaysBoris]

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!

Heartbeat is excellent news Midge. I hope at least one of the delivery MWs can tell you what to do next. X

Thanks Jaffa - I called them and she said straight to a&e. So off I go. Have to go alone as DD was so sick I have to leave DH at home to look after her. . Also don't want her to see me in hospital and upset (she freaked when she saw me after my EP and has already asked me why my eyes looks so wet). Cross everything for me x

Good luck Midge. I wish you didn't have to go through this. I'll be thinking of you today x

Good luck at a&e Midge, will be thinking of you today, particularly crap that you have to go on your own, so i'm praying that everyone's thoughts and good wishes will somehow surround you xx

Best of luck in A&E Midge, we're all thinking of you.

Everything crossed here Midge good luck! x

Thinking of u midge and praying everything ok x x x

Thinking of you midge love and and positive vibes coming your way x x x

Right well, a tiny bit of luck for me - I have an appointment at the FMC this afternoon. Once DFIL arrives to look after DD, DH and I are off to London. DMIL was actually lovely this morning too.

everything crossed for both midge and jaffa.

Jaffa thats excellent news, waiting is always the worst and knowledge is power. Got everything crossed for you.

Thanks everyone, trying to find the positive midget but she seems to have left the building. At EPU with a long wait ahead of me. The only obviously looking pregnant woman here which is freaking me out even more. And to be honest making me want to push in front of them all. Although I know their need is as great as mine (if not greater if Ep's or worse). I only wish I wasn't so used to being here. Thanks again for your well wishes, they are really helping, maybe your combined thoughts will make up for my lack of positivity. X

thinking of you midge, hope your wait isn't too long. EPU is grim, I've spent hours and hours there in the past 12 months. xxxxx

brilliant news jaffa. hope they can put your mind at rest.

fingers crossed for you midget.

Only just got up - such a crap night of being uncomfortable and DS2 latching constantly from 5am... I hate being this tired. It means I end up either raging or weeping (or first raging and than weeping) which is really no fun for anyone. DF roped in to helping his friend move today so left at 8am. So, just gotta get on with it.

Can still muster lots of positivity for dear jaffa and midge though

jaffa so glad you're going today. I feel you will get a more 'definitive' result and as such have a more secure platform to make your decisions. Not that a ds life is worth any less than an average one (and heck, there are many things our children could have, develop or become that cannot be diagonosed at this stage and are just as hard if not worse to live with!) but I am hoping for 'good' news. Still holding your hand and thank goodness MiL has recovered from her foot in mouth disease (if only temporarily! )

midge ugh to being sat in the epu, but a necessary evil, I suppose. A heartbeat is massively positive so lets hope the spotting is indeed linked to your being so poorly lately and nothing else. How has it been this morning though? Still light? Better/worse?

Seems a night for not much sleeping manda. Still waiting to be seen. So that's good as they don't seem to worried. Still feeling sick as a dog but reassured that is a bug seeing as DD also sick. Just this wretched bleeding. But worse, not heavy, more brown than red so many reasons not to freak. Starting to feel a shred of hope. Would not go as far as to say positivity but a shred of hope. Which is a start. Hoping DH is off loading DD and coming to be with me. Hope so. X

hope is good, I really feel for you. I'm doing bugger all in work this morning, I've got a scan tomorrow (9 weeks) and can't concentate so I'm happy to keep you virtual company whilst you wait if you like.

Unless something horrible happens in the next 24 hours (which I'm not ruling out even now) it's the first time I've made it to a scheduled scan, all my others have been emergencies. In my last pregnancy I started bleeding 3 days before my 12 week scan.

Oh Jaffa, great that you're being seen in the special clinic, and I hope they can give you some more reassuring news or at least something more concrete on which to base a decision. Fingers crossed that it's good news, though.

Fingers crossed for MidgetM as well, hope they can tell you that all is well and that your DH can come and provide moral support.

Definitely not a night for sleeping last night, we had a vomity toddler. Joy. I also have a 10 week scan coming up on Tuesday morning. Wibble. (though like sunshinesue, at least I'll have made it to a scheduled scan, last time I didn't have a scan booked til 12 weeks and miscarried a day before I was due in)

Thinking of you both ladies. :)

I am having my very own insignificant, silly metal right now, I feel bad thinking it knowing others are going through so much worse.
I want to make a baby blanket, I have the material cut and pinned, I fear though if I make it now then the 13 week scan shows a problem, it will have been me that jinxed it
No sleep last night, was in pain with my hips so I'm hormonal and tearful as hell today.

Well eventually I was seen by a marvelous specialist. She has no idea why the sudden bleeding but thinks it was an old bleed. Maybe dislodged by the vomiting but not sure about that bit. My cervix is still long and closed (phew - I was dreading her saying it wasn't). She scanned me HB 160 BPM, very leggy little alien bean kicking away. She found it amusing as mainly used to early scans and said - blimey it looks like an actual child in there. Which of course sent me demented about what would happen if I lost that actual child. No helping us metallers is there? Placenta is looking fine (again I was worried about that). So happy that all looks good but always distrustful of the 'we just don't know' line in view of my history but relief is what I am feeling for now. I was convinced it was all tits up last night but the hope came back in again - largely because of all your thoughts - so thank you from the bottom of my bottom. the Midgets midget lives to see another day. Still can't eat much but at least keeping fluid down and should get results from urine test back from GP early next week if I have a UTI.

Tits I was convinced this bleed was because I told people I was pregnant - and that I had jinxed it. I would rather tell nobody until it is actually in my arms so your blanket things seems positively rational to me.

Leedy humbugs to the vomity toddler - must be something in the air. Poor DD hurled spectacularly last night in the wee small hours. Good luck with your scan and to you too Sunshine (and thanks for the virtual hand holding). Normal appointments seem like such a milestone but be prepared to be a bit mental like me and have a total freak out at some of them!

Thanks again for the virtual good vibes - you have no idea what a difference they made. I lick you all, and then probably pass out from total exhaustion.

Oh, brilliant brilliant news Midget! So glad to hear that the specialist thought everything was ok.

Excellent news midge

I have gone ahead and made my blanket, purely as an up yours to myself, I can't live in fear of everything I do and say for the next however many months, also me not making it in case would be me saying that I was the direct cause of all the other mcs, if that makes sense.

phew midget. glad everything was ok.

tits i wouldn't want to make the blanket. i don't think i will even buy things for a baby every again until i have one in my house!

might make for an interesting first day back from hospital!

cross posted with tits. good on you for making it.

i still wouldn't though!!!!

I have already promised myself if anything goes wrong the blankets are going to woman's aid.

tits I say - as Queen of denial! - well done on making the blanket. Many of us feel superstitious about what we do or don't do because of our histories (or, even, because there are so many superstitions around pregnancy anyway). But we're intelligent and rationally know that making a blanket, or telling someone something does jack shit to our chances of a good outcome.

Speaking of which, I must put that 0-3 colours wash on, since the whites are all done.

Then, and only then, I might think about my hospital bag.

midge Over the moon for you! Although... yeah, keep your bug-ridden licks to yourself for now, lady. . Don't worry too much about eating, just up your fluids and your appetite will come back eventually. Hopefully, DD has it only mildly and DH avoids altogether because there's nothing worse than a sick DH

Thinking of you, jaffa
