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!

Hello everyone (waves and runs) xx

Ooh, shiny new thread!

Stopped feeling so sick - commenced metalling - now feeling sick again. I don't know which is worse... heaves

OOOH, shiny new thread - thanks for doing the doings boris you've done a reet good job!

Not sure if my last post on the old thread has been missed by everyone: tita and joy I'm looking at you! but I DID link to the thread where I've posted the link to the New Look video thing I did!

it's here to avoid jamming up our lovely thread with my vanity!

leedy they are equally shite. How many weeks are you now? It was at times when I felt 'ok'

I'm around 8.5 weeks. Hoping upon hope that the random queasiness starts to get better around 10 weeks, I have a dim memory of it doing so with DS.

midwife picked up DS2's hb when I booked at 9 weeks - but that's unusual (plus, I was thin and the placenta was low so not obsuring the signal, as it were). You're probably a little bit early for a doppler. Not that I'm pushing them!

And, yes, could start fading 'properly' altogether soon but also might not

Hello!

Marking my place as a long time (okay only four months) lurker (and added stats to the the stats thread). I'm at that time of the month, where I'm metalling again. (Feeling sick in the morning, AF due etc etc etc - you know the drill:O) POAS yesterday afternoon and got a BFN so now convinced that AF is on her way but...

Thanks for the new thread boris!

I wrote a long(ish) post this morning that disappeared into the computer sphere, probably just as well as I was just having a bit of a whinge! couldn't be arsed to retype but to summarise there has been fair to moderate metalling in the sunshine house from Mr & Mrs. All par for the course!

marking place

oneday and state hope you're both ok, I have a toddler on my back so can't write much of sense

manda you looked lovely in the new look thing! Loved your hair down and up!

manda you look just lovely in that video.

Hi everyone, I went a bit quiet and shy after my first intro post - god only knows why - but I've been lurking anyway and thought a new shiny would be just the thing. I mmc at the eo March so back to snorting baby dust again, meh.

Anyway, todays theme is that I have v.lovely friend in work with 1 DD who was kinda there for me during my first freak out weeks and was awesome agreeing how bloody shite the mmc was. She's just found out she's BFP and told work today but was super upset telling me while everything is still so fresh.

I am so pleased for her and she's a lovely mummy anyway but was a bit sad that she thought I'd be upset or sad about her news, I'm genuinely happy though and it really cheered me up!

Has anyone else had friends wobbling about telling their good news when they are in this situation?

lays out cheese and tuc biscuits for supper

Pshawww, thanks guys

countrymouse (how apt a mouse would leave cheese for supper )

I think friends fall into two camps - insensitive or caring. Your friend seems to fall into the caring camp, which is great. Could be she realises we can have mixed feelings when we find out those around us are pregnant after we have a loss, and was taking that into consideration. SHe sounds lovely, even if she slightly misjudged how you'd feel.

Hi Manda, we had a good laugh at her Tri1 hormones, mopped up some tears (hers not mine) and then a real good natter about potential varicose veins in her fanjo

I do like cheese so much, there isn't a bad type of cheese as far as I'm concerned - apart from mexican spice, which to be quite frank my DH has never got over his initial experiences of my side effect of said cheese.

would you like a little bit of chutney? it adds a certain something I find

Hello. May I join in after lurking for a couple of weeks?

Discovered I was pg 12 March (massive shock etc as was unplanned, got rid of all baby/maternity stuff a year ago etc). Started spotting 2 weeks later, h&c levels not doing well etc. Finally had mc at beginning of April. Af has arrived and now waiting to start ttc after the weekend.

I am lucky - already have DS1 (7), DS2 (6) and DS3 (2).

Read somewhere earlier on this thread a comment about how a mc makes you worry even when you've had a number of successful pgs and somehow takes the joy out of the previous ones? I know this is how I will feel if lucky enough to get pg again so thought it best to find somewhere with others who will understand. Hope that's ok?

Hey icequeen I'm a fellow lurker, I like to think that the others have fitted the walls out with very soft lining and a revolving door so you can come and go as you please.

Sorry to hear about your experiences, you're definately in the right place, even if I've not participated I've drawn a lot of comfort from the experiences that others have had and been brave enough to talk about.

Welcome icequeen and welcome back countrymouse

I have found that to be true icequeen but being on here has been a great help.

I am now counting down the days to my 12 weeks scan on Tuesday. Can't wait, but also very nervous.

Oh! KirrinIsland - on a lighter note I once spent a good 3 months as a 9 year old (give or take a few years) checking our ancient readers digest atlas for Kirrin Island. I narrowed it down to somewhere off Newquay Beach and wouldn't accept that it was fictional. To my shame I also wrote to the EB fan club to ask if they could point me in the right direction. I had my own new sleeping bag see so had all the gear.

Fingers and toes crossed for your scan. Put past experiences to the back of your mind and enjoy the build up as much as you can. Easy to write I guess but not as easy to put into practice!

Hello, welcome to new people.

It is the night before the freaky scan tomorrow. I will be 11+6 tomorrow so it is significant in more than just a trying not to panic way... I miscarried after my 12 week scan, but it still seems like a big milestone.

The cramping has gone, and no bleeding, so a bit more cheerful than the other day but still very scared. Think of me tomorrow morning!

any of you lovely ladies know much about UTI's spoke to my mum and a google sprung that up??

I would be over joyed if that was the cause for my discomfort, i want this jelly bean to stick soooo much.

jaffa you had cramping, tell me more please? i have since last night! stopped most of today and back now.

manda just checked out your ad... very glam. I'd probably go shopping on the basis of that, except that 1. tempting fate 2. I've got maternity clothes from last time (well, not last time, but the time before IYKWIM) 3. lack of £. At one point I was going to need 2 maternity dresses for back to back weddings in June, and both the stripey one and the ethicy one would be right up my street. But I blew all my ebay takings on something glittery and short from french connection last week instead. I've decided to stop the B6. I want to feel sick! I know that's but I would find it reassuring to be heaving a bit!

Can anyone here recommend anywhere that is not too pricey for a private 8wk scan in North London. Best I've seen is £75. Whittington will do one, but operates a walk in service only, and I will have to join the end of the queue after anyone in pain / bleeding. DH wants to be there but really cannot afford any time off work so I need somewhere that will make an appointment either in the evening or a saturday.

country my best friend gave birth to her DC3 in between my mmc diagnosis and my ERPC. She was a bit sheepish about getting very excited or involving me lots early on, but actually I was delighted for her, of course, and I think in retrospect she knows she needn't have played her new baby down. All my friends and family have been either hugely sympathetic, or just a bit quiet about it, knowing that I tend to play my cards close. A couple of members of DH's family were total dicks, and very very close to the event (between the diagnosis and the ERPC, over xmas / ny just to make things worse). But they are prats anyway and I just added their behaviour to my mental list of reasons I don't talk about stuff with them.

welcome icequeen. sounds like you have had a particular kind of rollercoaster, an unexpected pregnancy then an mc. This is a great thread for comfort, words of wisdom and occasional black humour.

state, I had bad cramps on Tues morning, and a huge panic. Rang
Mw who put me on to EPU, mainly because of my history.
She said there could be lots of reasons for cramps, particularly if it would be a time AF was due, which it would have been for me, my cycle is 27 days. I think other reasons are digestive maladies, ligament stretching, back strain, expanding uterus, and the dreaded mc. She was heartened by the fact I wasn't bleeding.

I am still very scared though. My mind always jumps to the worst conclusion.

Thinking of you tomorrow Jaffa x
