Just MC and ready to try again? Pregnant after MC and seeking somewhere safe to hide? Recently graduated from the mosh pit? 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!

And we have a recently refurbished Mosh Pit Nursery for the graduates IQ Manda and Blue, we are currently running a rota for babysitting so those three can go and get-pissed have some rest! I have done my bit this week so i need the next volunteer!

In other news, I am now the proud owner of my Very Own Blood Pressure Monitor! We metalling pregnoes really know how to party...

Welcome cheap and buggers! Sorry to see you here but heres hoping for BFPs soon - if it happened once it can happen again for us all! I'm 6+1 now after MC last March at 6 weeks and I have to say everything feels better this time, tests getting stronger, various symptoms present and correct, all v reassuring but not stopping the metalling...

Love love loving all the positive scans, heartbeats and kicks that are floating around the place martha midget jaffa et al sorry I know have left people out but its so hard to keep up ye're all serious chatterboxes!

Weeeell I've been off work for the last couple of days because of horrible back pain and resulting lack of sleep, had to leave work early on Tuesday to go to see a physio - amazing what prego hormones can do to destabilise one's pelvis and cause resulting muscle spasm, apparently, not pleasant at all! Seriously metalling as as well as plain paracetamol I took solpadeine twice and rubbed deep heat on my back twice when the pain was at its worst. Hoping to just be able to manage with paracetamol from now on. Yuck.

Duh so sorry buggers having trouble keeping up to the extent that I forgot you have had a BFP obvs congrats and apologies limps off to take some more paracetamol and pop another heat pack for her back in the microwave

Buggers Welcome back and congratulations on your BFP. Ok am I a CESH and PESH, or am I just evil? If the cap fits as my old mum would say. I am probably the oldest fartiest person on here and will be (drum roll and gasp in awe at the old bearded lady) OK so I don't have a beard, not yet anyway, 41 when this little one is dragged from me.

leedy I am wolf whistling at your BP monitor. I have one too, someone gave it to me and I stay the feck away from it as it has much the same affect on me as Dr Google. I have been so busy working today that I have stayed away from Dr Google so metalling re band (it's a sheet, its a sheet, it's a sheet) limited to low level.

Squeakymac Sorry you are suffering from back pain - I also went a bit cold turkey from pretty strong painkillers and it was tough. Hope you get sorted.

Welcome cheap, sorry you have found yourself here. Do whatever feels right for you - your friend can only offer advice - you don't have to take it. First couple of times I MC I literally shagged my way out of it, it was kind of primal and helped me feel more in control. or something like that. My lovely DD was a product of the WTF cycle and rather smashing she is too.

Jaffa Hurray for mini jaffa booting you, long may she reassure her metalling mother with those karate kicks. I will be getting scanned every 4 weeks from here on in. Because of the band, because I is old and because I had PE. I am a high risk nightmare.

Well I told DD last night. Cutest moment of my life. She is beside herself. This pregnancy better bloody work as it is her little heart on the line now. She keeps listening, stroking, kissing my belly. Took the scan photo to bed so she could look after it. And I admitted to virtual strangers today that I was pregnancy. Get me.

Better go and feed the family.

I am also an old hag!! Baby due few weeks before my 40th so have postponed my big New York ambition to the end of my 40th year!

Feeling sorry for myself. My period showed up today. Grand.

On the plus side, it's 28 days exactly since I miscarried so at least I'm regular...

hello buggerlugs! Congratulations on your pg! I just love, love, love all the pregnantness that is abounding on this board. Such a sad board but actually, a very happy one too :)

I'm knocking on at 33, selfishly have a child and a career (of sorts) and love gin. hurrah!

that is the cutest story midget. Bless your dd she sounds adorable.

sorry you are in so much pain squeaky! That sucks. but yay your pg generally 'feels' better than your mc pg (taking each day as it comes obviously...)

eek x post - so sorry to hear about AF backward :( have some

Cheers bud, have some cider chilling in the fridge.

Awwww, midget, that story about your DD taking the scan photo to bed made me all teary.

Is it time for an updated stats list?? Xx

I wrote a huge long post and mumsnet went offline .

I need reasurance. --because I'm shit and can't make myself eat well --

I had a scan at 10+6 nice wriggly healthy baby in there good HB. I have a scan a week today at 13wks. Still have symptoms etc but I'm metalling hard all will be over. :(

state STOP IT. Do you have any good reason to think these thoughts apart from the metalling? Remember the metallers chant 'i am pregnant, today'. Repeat it, slap yourself and think positive. Consider yourself 'spoken to'.

wilde goes without saying!

Hullo. Sorry I've been missing. Had a squizz through the posts, congratulations to all the BFPs good scans - state and martha and marbles etc and hello to all the new people, sorry you have to be here.

I can join the cancer is a cunt conversation having lost two grandfathers in their 60s to it, my mum in her 50s, and my cousin aged 13. It is a big cunt.

I can also join the time flies conversation - I'm 27 weeks pregnant . For anyone that doesn't know me I've had one baby and two losses at 14 and 17 weeks. And now this little kicky bean. No problems yet, but I'm still detached even with daily kicks. Have just started to get a proper bump though so that makes me happy. Now people can tell I'm less worried about the public bit and more like - finally. Although then I tell them I'm 6 months and they start telling me how small I am, which does not help the metalling at ALL. Why do people feel the need to say that LittleMiss is kicking my waistband as I write she does not like me wearing jeans now, I might have to put them away for a couple of months and get something stretchy!

Good luck to all with upcoming scans and big fat BFP vibes to all the SWI-ers.

Thanks midge boobs hurt less that's all that's sending me crazy

The boobs can be a bitch. They hurt sometimes more than others. Unless thet have gone down and are not sore at all please do not worry x

Hello everyone

Congratulations to all the new bfps and good scans

Glad your getting some strong kicks Jaffa

midgetm how cute that your dd is sleeping with the scan picture

MissC sounds like time to break out the stretchys

Well af is due Sunday, I had some spotting last weekend which is unusual for me. Also my boobs feel hard and bigger and I've been sick two days in a row. Maybe just wishful thinking!

The sale of the house we were buying has fallen through, we have decided to keep renting for a while. Unfortunately all the 4 beds have gone in the last week except an upside down house, which I'm not sure about.

MissC, for jeans that are ALSO stretchy, I totally recommend these:
shop.boobdesign.com/en/product/274/maternity-jeans-b-flex

They're very low rise below the stretchy band bit so they don't dig in anywhere, they look like normal jeans, and THEY STAY UP. Bit pricey but insanely comfortable. I have one pair from when I was pregnant with DS and am ordering another pair. All other maternity jeans are rubbish.

Also, HA, medical profession, my new BP monitor shows that my blood pressure is in fact currently going down without any meds. It's still the high end of normal but better than my previous average.

Also also, I think I felt a kick! Amusingly, during Prometheus, which is possibly not the ideal film for pregnant ladies (if you've seen any of the Alien movies you will know why).

Afternoon all!

Just been catching up - not had much time for MN as I've been stepson wrangling this week as it's half term - been to the zoo (cost: £44, favourite activity 'jumping in the puddles!'), and Legoland (cost: £78, favourite activity 'splashing people on the rides!'). I think we're having a cheap quiet day today, we managed to wear him out so much yesterday that he slept all the way back in the car and from about 8.45 last night until 10.15 this morning - result!

Glad there has generally been good news for everyone - except for the fact that cancer is a cunt .

I'm 15 weeks today! Eek! I've definitely got some pot belliedness going on - DH thinks it looks like a bump, I think it looks like all my flab just being pushed forwards. I suspect it's a bit of both - but it makes it much easier to pluck my belly button hair when I'm laying on the sofa

Quick question - in a 'first' pregnancy (hollow laugh, but you know what I mean...) when might I be able to feel the baby? Am impatient now, I've stopped feeling ill and tired mainly, I just feel normal and fat - I want more 'proof' that there's something going on in there!

midge they're still tender and I get a shock if a dc leans on me.

I'm so tired though, I slept 11hrs yesterday, then napped for a few hrs in the afternoon and zonked out again for 11hrs last night. And right now I'm tired again! Thank goodness dp is off work, I'm doomed when he has his op and I need to look after him and the dc.

grand I felt ds and dd around 18-20wks I think its four years since I was last past the first trimester.

GPB, I think a lot can vary from person to person and pregnancy to pregnancy. With my DD, it was 17 weeks. It was a very gentle feeling like bubbles popping inside. My placenta was at the back then. This time, 18 weeks. Only feeling hard kicks about once a day, and only low down, because my placenta is at the front.

I think with DS it was around 18 weeks.
