Oh and also thank u for the words re non symptoms ! I'm trying not to worry but we all know how hard that is BlushHmm

wifey6 · 24/08/2012 18:18

Thank you mumtum... Smile

Evening everyone, having a bit of a wobble.

I'm staying at my pils, sil has her baby (due a few wks after I should have been) and has just arrived. I can't begin to describe how I feel, but the bottom (and very irrational) line of it I feel like being near her will make something bad happen, I feel very anxious and on edge. It also doesn't help she's one who let's there babys scream instead of soothing them so my dd who was asleep 3 floors up from crying baby is awake, I'm annoyed, but I have a means of escape to settle her which I'm grateful for.
And I know I'm being anxious but I feel like the babys not moving as much (paranoia) even though I'm up to 12 on my kick counter. I just feel all over the place :(

Midgetm · 24/08/2012 21:23

mumtum is right. Don't take aspirin until you get a BFP, it is thought to affect implantation.

State go to bed. Have a nice lie on your side so you can be reassured about movements and then all will seem better in the morning x

StateofConfusion · 24/08/2012 22:08

Thanks midge I have, dd won't stop crying unless I lay with her, babys wriggled loads. I'm just feeling so confused/angry/upset. Seeing dp hold it was unbearable.

I need to get a grip I have my baby now wrigging away inside me ffs!!! Why am I doing this to myself!

wilderumpus · 24/08/2012 23:57

aw state. big hugs and give that baby inside you a big cuddle :) you are wonderfully pregnant again! it is amazing :) Am so sorry your SIL's baby has got you in a spin. My SIL gave birth shortly after my mc, i know it isn't the same as around the due date but i took heart in feeling that that baby was also my family. You will know that baby your whole life! They will love you! I hope not to sound like I am making your sadness trite, I really am not... but there is a lot of future family happiness in that baby too. Be well chuck.

wifey I know nowt about aspirin things tho have looked into it myself this month! sorry can't help. Am not pg yet either :( Have decided not to self medicate until been to docs, personally, as don't know what could help or hinder...

JaffaSnaffle · 25/08/2012 04:29

I cannot sleep. Bladder woke me up, but brain keeps me awake.

state, just try to think this awful feeling will fade. I completely get it. I tried to keep away from babies for quite a while afterwards, especially those that had been born around my due date or in the few months after. I almost felt that they had stolen something from me. The first time will be the hardest. For now, hold on tight to your DD, and your little wriggly bump, and try and think of yourself as a little family unit, within your larger family.
And Wilde is right, this little baby is going to be your baby's cousin. They will only be a few months apart, so someone to play with at family events. And not in the same school year, so less comparisons and competion in the long run.

StateofConfusion · 25/08/2012 08:07

Thanks for the messages, I'm still feeling strange but its a family wedding today so hopefully things won't be too much. Dp asked me if I was ok a million times, I never answered because if I spoke I'd have cracked, so why did he just ignore me when we went to bed. He knows I adore babies and our elder nephew I barely put down. I know I should just talk to him but I fear it will all come out wrong and cause yet another row.

I feel sick today, nausea would return now wouldn't it! Ah well! I have dc to dress and make sure they behave, first wedding I've taken them too in a very long time!

MiggleMoo · 25/08/2012 16:10

Well the bleeding started today... Guess that's that then :-( I thought that was the way it was heading.

aw miggle I'm really sorry to hear that x

joberg · 25/08/2012 20:29

Sorry to hear that miggle. Big massive hugs. Hope you are getting some cuddles from DH. Xxxxx

Am back on here (intermittently) as had genetic testing result back (last mc had tri 16) and shows that we are 'normal'. Such a relief. Darling MIL had given me a big lecture on how I shouldn't try anymore as it could be dangerous, which really wound me up, so feel like doing a victory dance and sticking big V's up to her (but I won't, as that would be quite rude). Hubby has also relaxed the no more TTC rule, so feel much happier there. Have been referred to psychologist on Tuesday for support. Feel like things are slowly returning to normal after a hellish 6 weeks.

joberg · 25/08/2012 20:30

Ps State, how wAs wedding?

StateofConfusion · 26/08/2012 01:00

miggle I'm so sorry xxx

It was ok joberg very disorganised which made managing the dcs a huge task (started at 12, we had an hour journey to get there, no food until 5, which we didn't know) I had snacks and bits but nothing works when they need real grub, finally after they ate things settled, and they had a smashing time. I spent most the day freaking out as the baby wouldn't move, fortunatly the disco set it moving. The wedding atmosphere/environment made me man up and have a cuddle with our new DN, I'd forgotten how tiny babys are and he is over 11lb now, at 5wks!

Anyway I must get to bed. Thanks for all putting up with my wobble yesterday!

backwardpossom · 26/08/2012 10:08

Glad the wedding was ok, state. I always underestimate how long it's going to take for the meals to be served and am usually starving and pissed on the free drinks that are going round (because I haven't eaten for so long!).

Am 12 weeks tomorrow! Another week until my scan though which is very frustrating! I know I only saw splodge 3 weeks ago, but I'm getting impatient.

Hello all am back from my travels. 9 whole days without the Internet- bliss. Looks like the thread has been quite busy. Will catch up properly soon.

I miscarried on the first day of my holiday. It wasn't too painful - I've had worse periods. The bleeding's completely stopped now.

So much for my resolution to hold off TTC for a few months - am itching to get going again. Oh dear!

joberg · 26/08/2012 18:04

I was maid of honor for my sister when dd was 9 months old. Ended up signing register with her in my arms as she wouldn't settle! Oops! Pleased you had cuddle with dn. I have decided to man up and face best friend who had baby three weeks after d&c. She is (understandably) upset that I have not been round to visit yet!

jollyb sorry to hear that. X

JaffaSnaffle · 26/08/2012 19:38

miggle and jollyb, I'm so sorry. Big hugs to you both. X

MiggleMoo · 26/08/2012 19:47

Really sorry to hear that jolly
Well done state pleased you made it through and cuddled dn
Good luck joberg!

My sil has just announced their pregnancy, so pleased for them but off on holiday with them in a couple of weeks and worried it'll be tough!

I am worried over here as this mc is getting terribly painful this pm, feel sick and starting to get a temp, how do I know if its 'normal' or not?

Midgetm · 26/08/2012 20:04

Miggle call out of hours GP. Temperature could be first sign of an infection, which can turn nasty speaks the voice of bitter experience

Jollyb · 26/08/2012 21:31

Thanks Miggle - sorry to hear that you've miscarried too. I've just read your other thread and I'm in the same position - 3rd miscarriage in a row after having a normal first pregnancy. What's going on?!

Ps please do seek help if your pain /fever persists

joberg · 26/08/2012 21:46

I agree with others, call doctor! X

MiggleMoo · 27/08/2012 10:56

Thanks for all the support, spoke to out of hours and they said if got any worse go in but thankfully it has eased today, had some horrid clots in the night which I think explains the increased pain. Seeing my own Dr tomorrow.

trying to decide whether to take a break from ttc or not. Emotionally I sort of feel ok about trying again, it is once I get a BFP that I really start to go into panic!

lurcherlover · 27/08/2012 11:06

Hope you're not feeling too bad now miggle. Passing the clots might mean the worst is over - hope so.

I'm getting v nervous about my scan tomorrow. I should be 6 weeks 2 days if all is well. Last week she could see the sac but not the embryo on an internal scan. Does anyone know what they should be able to see at 6 weeks?
