Trying to conceive after mc? 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! Part

[Dorita75]

Hi, thought I'd start the new thread. This is a brilliant thread for anyone trying to conceive or who has got a bfp after mc, full of lovely ladies, fab advice and a lovely place to metal, so called because someone said metal instead of mental and the rest is history......

It probably is, I still get all sorts of odd pains. How many weeks are you now mumtum

I'm 8+1 today it's just horrible the metalling I mean ......

It sounds good that it's calmed down a bit after Dr Google advice, how are you now mumtum?

mumtum I had the exact same pains between 8-11wks bloody scary, staying hydrated, baths and sitting knees together helped. Midiwfe said it was totally normal x

Well I'm 26wks now!

mumtum i am holding your hand but am sure you will be fiiiine. listen to the wise words of the metallers.

littlepink how old are you? i will be 40 in Jan (Jack was due a week before my big birthday - cant believe i was moaning about that ) I was concerned that we should stop TTC as i was getting past it; but have changed our minds now. My friend gave birth to her second just after her 44th birthday

I didnt read your wise words and have rebelled, i went to the allotment this morning and am shattered DH has made me sit on the sofa, me and DS are watching Monsters Inc

Thanks ladies x I'm sure had a never mc I wouldn't worry so much but I've no need to tell u all the slightest thing and it sets us off. I've had odd cramps and twinges all day not like pain this morning so I'm totally. Hoping it's just stretching. Probably the hydration thing to ms has been so bad for the last 5-6 days I've not actually managed to keep down and solids I didn't want to complain about that though as my first mc warning signs have Benin loss of symptoms confusing ol game this eh ladies .....

R whites lemonade lollies anyone ??? Ill leave some in the freezer in the vip section it's about all I'm digesting at the mo

I keep thinking I can feel him kick, its not fecking fair

I'm always the same, pains till about 14 weeks and the ms doesn't help when it's making you dehydrated. I've found the pains seem to get worse each pg the same as the braxton hicks and the after pains x

Today I'm worrying about the backache and tmi the feeling of something being up there (probably the pesseries and everything's abit swollen which I think is due to increased blood flow during pg) noting else is up there I know because of inserting the pesseries. It's just paranoia!

Xpost with Martha I know, I remember after Jacob . I'm so sorry it's all just so bloody cruel xx

Runs in, licks and hugs martha and belly slaps mother nature. That Is bastard unfair.

martha Jack is a lovely name --its my 5yos name-- good choice, I'm sorry mother nature is being such a bitch, but please stay sat down, enjoy monsters inc and rest xx

Hi ladies - big hugs and kisses to Marthas, (I'll reply to your message properly later on) it really is utterly shit right now but I'm hoping that your afternoon n the sofa with your LO will have helped.

Well it's good to see we have some good things happening in the metal members club. Whoever mentioned lactulose up thread - that stuff is amazing! I had it after my episiotomy and it saved my bottom. Also for Mumtum I had exactly the same thing as you (panicked and rang the MW) was told to drink water and rest because it was a ligament thing, take it easy for a little bit!!

I haven't managed to properly catch up as we've been away on holiday but just wanted to send you all my love!!!

Things here are just a little bit shit - my wonderful grampy passed away whilst we were away. I just can't put into words how truly wonderful he was and how much he impacted on my life. I feel devastated and struggling to sleep at night but I know I'm still in denial about it all as I went over to his house today and rang the bell expecting him to wave at me from his chair in the window, even though I know he isn't there anymore. Just don't even know where to begin with it all!!

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Moomins thank you too as i thought i was going crazy feeling the kicks, i feel comforted (right word?) that it is normal. It is heartbreaking though.

IQ i am so so very sorry about your grampy i feel i know exactly what you are going through as my dear grandad died last May. We were unbelievably close too. My heart goes out to you and i am sending you lots of hugs back across the interweb. I am sorry i didnt see this last night before i replied to your PM - thank you again for your thoughts.

I relented and brushed up the hedge clippings from the path this morning, DH went mad at me for exerting myself, but i made sure i looked like shit (no make up - i am ginger and i neeeeed mascara) with scruffy clothes and frizzy hair, i was hoping that shitty neighbour would come out and say 'dont be silly dear' so i could blame hormones and tell her to fuck off sadly she kept a safe distance in the house!

Hope you shoved the leaves through neighbour's letterbox Martha! Seriously though give yourself a break. I used last mc as an excuse to spend a week on the sofa watching crap tv and my experience was not nearly as traumatic as yours. Could you sort out a holiday? I found getting away for a week with family helped me loads.
IQ so sorry for loss of your lovely grampy.

I know I'm crap and don't post on here very much anymore but I just wanted to say to Martha that I am thinking of you and wish I could give you a big hug, I am keeping everything crossed for the biggest fattest positive for you soon. So sorry iq to hear of your grampsy's passing xx

Congrats on all the new bfps and new additions! Was there ever a grads thread?Hi to the newbies, I couldnt have got through things without the support of the ladies on this thread, sorry for lack of name checks

Ps any word on poppy Jens baby?

waves to pie i think there should be a grads thread as i have completely forgotten whether you have DD or DS thank you for the hugs though xx

buzzybee i plan to do just that this week, i am meeting a friend for lunch tomorrow but the rest of the week is feet up time.

Thinking of you IQ xxx

Hope everyones doing ok, especially you martha x

DS is 2.8yrs, and DD is 12 weeks already!

I can't remember if I said but I bumped into a colleague and his wife in the miscarriage ward last year which was a horrible coincidence. A nicer coincidence though was having our babies 3 weeks apart this summer.

Happy birthday state!! Hope you had a lovely day.

Just had an unexpected house viewing with five mins notice and I was still in my pjs at 3pm

Happy birthday state! Enjoy the chocs in lieu of wine!

Just a quick check-in from me. 9 weeks today, so if my bean is still going strong it's further along than the last one, which was measuring 8+6. So I may be over a little milestone or may not, just wish I had a window into my uterus...was metalling a bit today as my thug toddler ds was in bed with us this morning and suddenly decided to sit with a big thud on my lower abdomen. I know that at 9 weeks bean isn't even above the level of my pelvis yet, and that realistically ds couldn't have done any damage, but that doesn't stop the metalling, does it? 11 days until my next scan...can't wait and dreading it at the same time.

Hugs to everyone xx

Just marking my place. Been away for the weekend and because I've not posted in so long, you'd fallen off my page! Hope you're all ok, will try and catch up tomorrow. x

Thank you :)

lurcher my big two seemed to have a magnetic pull to my lower abdomen in the early days, stray elbows, feet and bottoms were always bashing it, all fine at 26wks, it may just be a bit loony when it arrives like dd haha!

Dd has developed a really sweet habbit of kissing my bump whenever she cuddles or kisses me, she is so excited to be a big sister!

Well done lurcher!.

Happy birthday state! Can I have a Linder,though may pop back for a thorntons!

martha hugs for you,you never seem too far from my thoughts.

Cd 5 day cycle 3 after mmc. Going to buy opk but don't know if doing the right hing. Will give it a whirl anyway. Oh whirl...Twirl...mmmm I fancy some choccie < hands out twirl bars for everyone on the thread >

numtum how are you today? Hope all settled down for you x

Hi ladies. Just thought I would drop by. Haven't been around for a bit due to the mentalling (I've been preferring the Ostrich approach to my life). Baby is still developing fine and appears to be average in every way (weight, height, etc), though occasionally goes too quiet and stops wriggling, necessitating trips to hospital to check up on her.

Martha so sorry to hear the news. thinking of you.

Hello all

Hope everyone's ok.

Not much to report here. Bumbling along trying not to think about POASing.

Hope you had a good birthday state.
Lurcher, Tiago glad things are going ok with your pregnancies.

Catch up soon x
Ps an extra kiss for brave Martha x
