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!

Hello, it's all good. Little baby girl Jaffa has grown, has lovely heart beating. Could even see her tiny ribs. I am so grateful, and so relieved. Keep crying, but in a good way.

tedmundo · 29/05/2012 14:55

Bless you jaffa and bless the little lady too. glad it was such a lovely scan!

fatasbutter · 29/05/2012 14:56

Oh enormous congrats Jaffa! What a relief it must be - now you can relax for 4 weeks and have a huge glass of wine juice! Grin

squeakymac · 29/05/2012 15:30

Yay Jaffa well done on your little girl - 16 weeks!

martha so sorry to hear about your friend thats truly crap and kind of puts a lot into perspective....

I'm just a bit behind you and icequeen (date fixing withstanding!) can I ask you did you have much MS before 5 weeks? Did you have days with loads and days with none, or was it pretty constant?

PieMistress · 29/05/2012 15:48

Great news jaffa xx

ConfusedMumDotCom · 29/05/2012 15:55

Wow lots of newbies I'm sorry that you have all had the need to join us but bundle in and settle down and have some Wine and [tea] depending in where your at I can also highly recommend the club cocktails I've had a few myself this last week and really help Blush. Wilderumpus well done Wink

Have a good afternoon all xxx

icequeenkate · 29/05/2012 16:59

Hi wilde - fancy meeting you here!! Wink Grin

squeaky - I haven't been having any symptoms, hence my metalling. I had a spot of brown the day my AF was due, but nothing since. No sore boobs, no MS, no nothing. Confused I am sure with my other pgs that MS had kicked in by now, but some wiser person than me has pointed out that all pregnancies are different. The only slight sign might be that I am snacking constantly due to lack of energy. In answer to your question - with my other pgs the symptoms changed depending on how tired I was and how physically active. I suspect that it's only if they disappear for a longer period of time that it might be of concern?

ted - hope this thread brings you luck too. There is an 'up the duff' chair I believe. martha - who did you pass it on to?! (martha so sorry to hear about your friend. horrid time for you and her family too.)

jaffa so pleased your scan was fab. How exciting to be excited by a scan iyswim? Am slightly nervous of scans too after the mc.

fatas - welcome, but step away from the sticks!!! Too early!! Grin

yikes - getting hitched on Saturday!!! Very exciting - hope all sorted and ready for you. Am sending an anti-rain request for you now...

mumtum glad to hear that you are coping with the roller coaster emotions. it's such a ghastly time. Good for you - Wine and cocktails.

marking place :)

gothinrecovery · 29/05/2012 20:01

Jaffa - great news re the scan. State - good luck for tomorrow, fingers firmly crossed.

So sorry to hear about your friend Martha.

Well I'm officially in the WTF cycle now as the bleeding seems to have finally stopped (sorry TMI) so feeling better physically although head is still all over the place.

StateofConfusion · 29/05/2012 20:01

Brilliant news jaffa :)

I've managed to really hurt my back :( I've had niggles every morning for around a week but today woke up fine, spent the morning on my feet sat down for 10mins and couldn't get up, made the mistake of falling asleep on the sofa and been in agony since unless I lie down in a certain posistion, its up high around my bra strap, right hand side back of ribs, when I stand up I can't stop gagging?

Any advice?

ConfusedMumDotCom · 29/05/2012 20:31

I'm beginning to think that AF is on the way Sad.

Jollyb · 29/05/2012 20:43

Evening all. Had a lovely day on the beach and eating cream teas and have barely thought about TTC/2ww at all. I bet I'll be going crazy by the weekend though - I've a stash of Internet cheapie sticks waiting for me back home.

Fantastic news on the scan Jaffa. Hello fatas and Tedmundo - It seems there are a few of us here who had losses in early March. Let's hope the summer is a bit kinder to us.

Martha - hoping your trip to see your friend goes ok.

Jollyb · 29/05/2012 20:46

Sorry posted too early. Squeaky- I didn't have any morning sickness until about 8 weeks when pregnant with my daughter- but I went off coffee way before that. I think it's quite rare to feel sick before 5 weeks.

Hope that helps x

fatasbutter · 29/05/2012 21:24

Confused I feel the same Sad - I always start getting low back pain about a week before I'm due on, and it started this evening Angry

Oh well, we shall see...

State perhaps you have pulled a muscle and it's gone into spasm? Can be agonising and of course you can't take much to help except paracetamol of course - can you get DH to massage/rub it better??!

NoMoreMarbles · 29/05/2012 21:49

hi ladiesSmile
jaffa lovely scan news :)
hope everyone is ok.

welcome to the newcomers! so sorry you have reason to join but i am sure you will find what you need here, whether that is advice, comfort or some chit chat to talk over the metally hours :)

i had a lovely birthday!! im currently posting on my brand new tablet PC!! i was spoilt rotten by everyone!!

MarthasHarbour · 29/05/2012 22:08

i am too drained to catch up on the thread, suffice to say that today was Sad but we both feel kind of calm now we know that the end is near IYSWIM Hmm i love her so much and i had the opportunity to tell her, we dont all get that opportunity so i feel kind of blessed. she has been a wonderful friend over the last 21 years and i will always miss her.

thank you all so much for your support and hand holding, needless to say DH had a cheeky glass of Wine ready for my return, i figured that bean would be ok on one glass Wink

oh and my friend was over the moon about my news, i told her as i always promised she would be the first to know.

i will shake myself off and come back tomorrow, and will try and do a name check or catch up.

thanks again ladies xx

For some reason you're not supposed to hug on MN (I've no idea why). But sod it.

ConfusedMumDotCom · 29/05/2012 22:47

AF is officially here.

I am surprisingly ok with this. AF arrived exactly 28 days from my mc. (I'm a bit sad, but didn't expect to fall pg straight away - although I did hope). I know from reading this thread that this is relatively quick and others have waited much longer for AF to return. My body seems to have snapped back into my regular cycle length and this is can only a positive thing.

Goes off to buy vitamin b to add to pregnacare and vitamin d supplements.

However, by my calculations I will be ovulating around the weekend of the 9/10th June when we are staying with some NCT friends who've moved out of town. I'm not sure about the layout of their new house, but let's hope the guest room is somewhere secluded Blush. Though I'm sure they'll understand as she is due with DC2 around the time I was and knows about the mc...

Another bonus is that I can really enjoy the bank holiday weekend by drinking lots of Wine and eating mouldy cheese. Grin

StateofConfusion · 29/05/2012 22:49

backs improved slightly after a bath and some pottering about, i just feel so sick and tearful, im actually terrified of tomorrows scan.

backwardpossom · 29/05/2012 23:15

(((martha and confused))) big hugs x

fatasbutter · 29/05/2012 23:18

Good Lord - I have eaten so much food I look as though I'm at least 16 weeks preggo ... does that count?!?! Hmm
