Hey girls... I missed that Buddahs dh got redundancy like Cupcakes Im so sorry hon, ditto all I just said.. Its an anxiety ridden time, but may be the start of a great new chapter that you dont know about yet! Stay strong for you and baby buddah!

Bakingqueen you must be feeling very weebly at the mo - mixed emotions of excitement & fear, know that pre-test time soooooooooooo well! Everything crossed for you too hon xx

Mrskate agree with Barbie just buy new jeans one size bigger! Leggings are great too! Also remember the hairband over the button trick for an extra inch or 3!

Barbie these strange mental images of you help me get through the day!

Jools im asking the BIG question - when you testing then?!?!?

Lastly but totally not leastly Fifi sorry didnt respond to your last post was in edd meltdownland! Congrats on your upcoming wedding, only been wed just over 2yrs so still v gushy about it all! Whens the big day? Your ttc plan sounds good, go easy on yourself, let your wedding distract you & it will happen soon im sure! x

The Weeble wobbled cos got mail that me staying at this work location isnt confirmed yet - think I went in slight shock! Tears & teeth chattering like mad Im ok now manager conf that its a formality & with health issues wont be a prob, but made me realise how much staying 10 min drive away compared to commuting has relieved me of 18m of pure anxiety & stress & what a great decision it was on my part to stay here!

Joolsiam · 10/09/2009 12:34

Oh 4Ever wobbly weeble - you must look after yourself - going into shock like that does not sound like the zen like state we want you to achieve Do you ever use Bach Rescue Remedy ? I swear by it to help me calm down - in fact I wish I had some now ...

Testing - well FF says not till Tuesday, but if I'm up the duff, I want to know in time to speak to the EPU and perhaps go in to see them and talk about treatment, so I guess I'll test on Sunday or Monday. I'll know by then anyway as spotting will either start, or not.

I have to confess, I'm getting more and more convinced that I am knocked up and starting to get excited (not good if I'm imagining it - a one way ticket to meltdownland)

I may need to call on several hands to hold when I test - am afraid to pee on the bloody thing in case it doesn't give me the right answer

Right, I must somehow concentrate on work - not easy when your nips are tingling

4everhopeful · 10/09/2009 12:52

Ooooh Jools im very excited for you sweetie! I really really hope you are cos you really deserve this so much! Its prob impossible not to symptom spot after all we gone through! Ill be doing the 'stay away AF dance' for you too and my hand is here for holding when you test (but i think you may need both hands! I love ya but not enough for wee'd on fingers! ) If you do over the w-end just tx me ok?!

I've never used that Bach stuff - paranoid about anything while ttc! Maybe I need to book that reflexology pedicure!

mermaidspurse · 10/09/2009 13:59

jools just reading about you testing made my tummy flip with nerves. will have to start crossing other family members arms and legs soon as have run out of bits to personally cross.

4ever when will you know about the job?
get that 'pedicure' booked.

barbie sh*t I missed that you are bleeding a little but never thought I would read that you are not too freaked - how brave and strong have you become girl? huge glittery gold star your way.x

mls manically leafing through a 6month copy of Womens Realm as I type - sending out the vibes.xx

SabsBigPants · 10/09/2009 14:25

Hello ladies, hope everyone is well. As usual I have been lurking but not been able to post. Today I'm waiting for bubba's cot to arrive. Also washed all his/her clothes so they smell and nice and fresh for when they need to wear it all! Also went to a pregnancy yoga class on Tuesday which was interesting and best of all, free!

4ever I'm going to repeat what jools said, you must look after yourself!

jools im getting excited for you too Here have my hand to hold if you wish...

buddha and cupcake sorry to hear about your DH's. I know exactly how you feel. DH got made redundant in March and he was lucky to find a temp role since then but that finished in August. So at the moment, he's at home with me, desperately trying to find some work. Not the best of times for us, and it means I probably will have to go back to work after 6 months instead of the 12 months I was hoping for , but I have to remain positive for him and for the baby. There must be something in the Emmsys air about redundancies

annie How long to go now?? Hope everything's ok...

barbie I saw your status about the eyeball on FB. I love your stories Hope the bleeding has stopped. I'm sure its nothing to worry about..

baking Nice to see you. Hope TEW stays away!

mrskate I echo what everyone is saying and to go shopping! I bought my jeans from New Look - maternity range. Very reasonably priced

MLS wishing you a bit of a late good luck about your scan. You will probably be having it by the time i post this...

moon hope today is going ok for you...Have my hand to hold and squeeze as much as you like...

curly hope your not working too hard and taking good care of yourself!

blue loved your pics on FB. You looked fab

vjay hope you have some time to lurk. How's it all going???

Sabs apologies for not posting personal messages to neeko, littlebellsmum mermaid iggy and hoping but DH needs laptop back for more job searching.

Well I have 2 weeks and 2 days till my due date, and baby seems like it doesnt want to come out at all! It would be good if lo made an appearance whilst DH is at home. We're predicting that as soon that the first day that DH starts a new role will be the day bubba decides to show!

Neeko · 10/09/2009 15:42

Hi all. Not looking good for MLS I'm afraid. Baby is measuring 5 weeks instead of seven and she's to go back next week for another scan.

Sooo hope the sonographer made a slip up in the measurements and this little bean will fight on. Lots of positive vibes needed.

4everhopeful · 10/09/2009 15:45

Anyone heard from MLS yet?!?

4everhopeful · 10/09/2009 15:59

Oh dear, x post - Iv been thinking about it non stop too for some reason.. Im praying hard that sonographer may have measured wrong angles.. One time mine doubled in size in 4 days cos of wrong angle taken. MLS honey, try & stay positive, Im sure you're in a bit of a daze right now... I will pray for you xx
We love you & are holding your hand sending you strength xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Joolsiam · 10/09/2009 16:10

Sending you lots of hugs, chocolate and positive vibes MLS

mermaidspurse · 10/09/2009 16:37

mls thinking about you all soooooo much right now.xxx
neeko thanks for posting the update - hope you are ok too lovely.x

iggypiggy · 10/09/2009 17:03

just a quick lurk to check up on MLS's new - am so {so} that it wasn't more positive, but am thinking of you and have everything crossed that it will all be ok xxx

iggypiggy · 10/09/2009 17:03

that should have been so

SabsBigPants · 10/09/2009 17:37

mls also want to add that im thinking of you. Hope the next week flies by for you and brings some good news.

neeko thanks for posting. Hope you're well..

bluesatinsash · 10/09/2009 19:50

Oh MLS - I'm at a loss for what to say . Really, really, really truly hope measurements are out, I know they can be at this early stage. You must be in bits tonight . Its times like this I wish we were all round the corner from each other and could provide RL support .

Sending every positive vibe x

BlueMoon1981 · 10/09/2009 19:50

mls i really hope everything will be ok, i'm so sad it wasn't the news we were all hoping for. joining the queue for a big hug, and thinking of you lots xx

barbie i have to say you do tell a good story! hope your bleeding is nothing to worry about, sending you hug too xx

4ever thank you for your lovely words no one at work knew what today was, and i havent reminded dp, so do feel a little alone. but i have got through the day better than anticipated, and i think it was you who said last week that hardly anyone gives birth on their edd anyway. i do find it hard though that i have nothing to remember my 2 los by, i never got any scan pics, so sometimes it feels like they never existed

thanks too to everyone who sent me hugs and nice thoughts

curly very to 'see' you please look after yourself, i hope you are ok

bakingqueen are you joining the testing party?

sabs not long to go, bet you are getting excited now

annie and kate hope you are both ok, and gracie too

no real symptoms for me but still no af

BuddhaBellyBigPants · 10/09/2009 20:14

MLS Like Blue said wish we were just around the corner so we could hug you in person, or make you a useless cup of tea. I'm really hoping like the others that it's just a case of wrong measurements, I know this is going to be the longest week of your life, if and when you need to talk we will be here for you

anniebigpants · 10/09/2009 20:15

MLS-Sending big hugs your way, i really pray it all works out for you.
sabs-Ive got 11 weeks to go from Tue, thanks for asking, hope you well.
Moon-Really hope AF stays away from you.

I was hoping someone would have text me with news of MLS today as was at work, i did ask nicely, but not one person text me, ah well, never mind.......

Neeko · 10/09/2009 20:40

MLS Thinking of you, honey and hope you're bearing up ok. Both Cupcake and Curly got in touch and want you to know that their thoughts are with you. Blue hit the nail on the head - I'd give a lot to be able to give you a hug right now. x

mermaidspurse · 10/09/2009 20:41

sorry annie can't find phone charger - don't work too hard now will you.x

moon you are such a strong young lady, well done for getting through todayxx

CurlyBigPants · 10/09/2009 20:42

MLS hoping and praying for a good outcome for you. I wish I could give you the biggest hug ever right now. I'll be thinking of you and dp and holding ur hand till next week xxx

Neeko · 10/09/2009 20:43

Annie I would have texted you but I don't have your number - sorry! Do you have mine? If so, send me yours.

Kate Buy a belly belt to bridge the gap. I'm really liking mine.

Barbie Hope the bleeding has stopped.

glad to hear it's sounding positive for many of the small panters. I'll join in the stay away AF dancing (though I have no rythmn)...

Ok, does anyone have any daft stories to distract MLS if she's lurking?

CurlyBigPants · 10/09/2009 20:51

Sorry Neeko xposted took so long to post from flaky but much loved iPhone thanks for passing on my message hun

Lots of love and a big hug too for brave moon xxx

hopingalways · 11/09/2009 07:55

mls here's my hand to hold, crossing my fingers that your little bean is just camera shy, and the scan caught them at a funny angle

moon you are being really brave. it's my EDD today for lost babby #2, so lets hold each others hand for mutual support

cupcake really sorry to hear about DH's news - if you need a freind in RL to sympathise with everything you're going through give me a shout.

spooky moment yesterday, was chatting to a freind on her way out of work about shoes, her ex boyfreind etc then she suddenly said, mid-sentence, "oh my god you're pregnant!" never mentioned the mcs or ttcing to her so it was totally out of the blue! a sign?

I have put on a stone since the last mc to try to stave off another...possibly I've just taken it a bit too far but DH swears I look skinny (used to look a little starved in his view )...

Joolsiam · 11/09/2009 09:07

Have been thinking of you MLS I'm not going to say I hope you are OK because I know you are not - just hope you are getting lots of hugs and support.

Annie - sorry, I was on a conf call when we got the news and then had to rush off to the train station - I think your number was sent out from the Emmsys angesl email address ? but I couldn't access my hotmail from my phone. Will be more prepared in future ...

Having a wobble here - stupidly did an early First Response test this morning, as today is the only day between now and Sept 23rd that I can get to the EPU. It wasn't FMU and looked very dilute - BFN.

However, I have never been more convinced. I simply can't be making all these symptoms up - can I ??

MrsKate · 11/09/2009 09:23

just a quick post to say thinking of you mls sending positive thoughts xxxx
