[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!

Ladies curiosity got the better of me am 4 days late - mc 25/4 - and I have a positive test!!!! I feel sick with fear now :(. Am 42 and have been pg twice 9 years ago with DD and March/April ending in mc can't believe I have fallen again so quickly wow. What do I do now I'm a 42 year old novice ????

Forgot to mention had football training yesterday evening and got a ball in the stomach should I be worried????

No don't worry Pixie, the bean is very well protected in there. Congratulations! Today you are pregnant!

Brilliant news pixie!!!!!!! I have to admit I'm a tad envious you lucky thing you!

what do I do now?
celebrate!!

pixie you are pregnant. Wow! Congrats. Start taking the folic acid and don't worry about footballs. Wonderful news

Pixie that is just wonderful news, congratulations. :)

Congratulations Pixie hopefully there will be a few more of us joining you soon.

Thanks ladies and I do hope most of you join me soon I feel a bit guilty xx would love some advice about early scans etc I hadn't even seen a mw when I had my mc in April x

pixie a thousand congratulations on your BFP. The football thing should be fine according to my virtually a doctor knowledge.

If you want an early scan try and hang on as late as you can bear. As dates could be screwed I would aim for 7 weeks. Hard I know but guidelines say normally you have to wait another 2 weeks if inconclusive which should be avoided at all costs.

Congratulations and don't feel guilty. This thread has magic powers. That's all there is to it.

Congratulations pixie brilliant news.

I won't say don't worry, because of course you will, but try to enjoy it as well.

Agree with midget about waiting for a scan. I had my first at nearly 8 weeks which I think is a pretty good time, although it'll feel like a long time comng....

Congratulations Pixie, I rang MW straight away and got some vitamins :)

8 weeks is actually even better as statistically means more chance of viability. I can never wait that long though impatient midget person

Hello lovely ladies, just to let you all know, scan went very well this morning, a gorgeous little girl, sucking her thumb and kicking away. The sonographer was brilliant and walked us through every step as I was so nervous. I feel like the luckiest woman alive today. Good luck to all those with scans coming up. xx

far lovely news, lovely little girl. Bloody lovely.

Great news far :)

Grand, sorry to hear about your DGMIL. Am delighted about hearing the heartbeat, hurray for that.

congratulations on your BFP pixie! Definitely wait till 7/8 wks for a scan so you KNOW :)

and congrats on your little girl far! brilliant news!

I need a firm slap please. I poas even though I am only 8dpo! And even worse I am mardy that it was (obviously) BFN. wtf?! Am the most impatient, ridiculous person in the world! 8dpo! And now, on top of that ridiculousness, I think I have jinxed any chance i might have had of being pg! grrr, silly woman. Am going out for the day with DS, even though it is raining.

feel better for confessing, thanks peeps.

Oh wilde hide those sticks in the kitchen. Mine are with the coffee, so no chance of caving in early. My AF is due on Tuesday, I think. I'm getting nervous and excited. But I refuse to waste money POAS early this time.

Today is CD25 and I have mild cramps. This is clearly a sign I am pg and not that AF is on the way

Wilde Hide those bloody sticks and give yourself a good slap. Although in my opinion that is what IC's are for. Just don't let it depress you - it means NOTHING.

I'm due on weds confused! I wanted to test on sun which is still rather early. Really I want to not test at all but waiting waiting and then AF come is too crushing. Try and make me strong! I generally prefer to test early and have a more gentle let down over a few days otherwise I convince myself I am pg (i always have symptoms!)

I feel really quite sick; it is just really sinking in that I am probably ill! Ug.

thanks midget. especially for saying the BFN means nothing :)

ttc is a fools errand!

Jaffa I will be having a hospital birth. I just want the baby out safely and happy, and way way too many people that I know have been born via EMCS or had to be resucitated at birth due to cords wrapped around their necks.

hello everyone!

Congrats on the scan far - another girl due. This is a very pink thread

wilde at this stage bfn means nothing. Stand back from the sticks until at least Tuesday.

Anyone have any knowledge of pessaries to prevent early birth? My cervix is 17mm which is no good apparently Had booking in appointment. I am high risk and having consultant led care shared between Kings and PRU. Next appointment with cervix clinic at Kings - can you imagine asking for that one?! - on the 02.07.

congrats on the successful scans - this does seem to be a pink thread, but suspect I'll be turning it a blue tinge soon when I can confirm that I'm having another boy! Statistically, I'm right.

Mrs Pear - i don't know anything about that - other than a friend had a stitch once? But your asking for the cervix clinic did make me snortle! Good luck with the appointment, not long to wait.

wilde step away from the sticks 8dpo??? Tee hee.. we've all done it! And Dr Midget is correct - it means nowt.

pixie congrats on your BFP. I agree with waiting til 8wks. I wanted to tell you something the lovely sonographer pointed out to me on Wednesday at my early scan? Apparently one of the reasons there are a number of mmc around 6.5-7.5 wks is because this is the time the yolk sac becomes redundant/used up and the early placenta has to kick in. At 7+5 this 'transfer' should have completed so she advised going after 8wks. She suggested that although a heartbeat can been seen as early as 6 wks this might not be particularly reassuring as in her opinion the sac/placenta thing was more of an issue. Sorry I probably haven't explained it very well and have gone on for a long time, so will hand the white coat and stethoscope back to Dr Martha and Dr Midget. 8 weeks, anyway! Good luck with the wait.

:) for all your messages

mrs pear I have read about progesterone being given to reduce the risk or pre term labour I read about it when researching progesterone generally which I took until the end of the first trimester. I found it much better to insert via the back door, less irritating!

pixie I was also told that a heartbeat after 8 weeks is a great sign as most MC actually happen at 8 weeks or befroe (even if not discovered until later) as that is a critical time in the development of the fetus/placenta

see? Told you someone else would explain it better than me! Thanks far
