Morning all.
Just checking for news on Moon. Surely you're not having a long lie today of all days lady? Sending you my hand to hold. You ARE strong enough to test lovely and to deal with the results either way.

I think it does us all good on this thread to occasionally be reminded of our losses and how far we've come together. Hope the recent posts have helped you realise you are not alone PFJ Curly Really nice to hear from you and lovely to know you're all cocooned with Curlygirl. Glad you posted as it saved me stalking checking up on you by text Give that gorgeous girl a kiss from me.

Ok, think things MIGHT be moving on the Wriggler front. No contractions as such and no show but lots of back and tummy cramps today and I've been to the loo twice today already (sorry for the TMI). Definitely think the bump is lower today and feeling the weight of it down there more. Realise this may all come to nothing but have put my mum and DH on standby as I just feel different today. My best friend is coming round for a cuppa in a minute so I'll not be online, but will text if anything changes. Fingers crossed.

Can someone text me Moon's news please and I'll pass it on the MLSspaladyandDHhater!

VJay · 12/03/2010 09:59

Morning my lovely lovely laides, both those poems are so lovely, I read them and just sat for a while in silence, remembering.....

pfj so sorry you got the phone call, it's like a stab in the heart, I remember getting a phone call then a scan letter, it's just crap, with the technology we have these days why can't they keep up? Mls said some good words there, yesterday was rock bottom, and today will be slightly better. Stick around here we will help you get through this, I couldn't have done it without them

jools been thinking of you how are you doing?

mermaid I was hanging out the washing earlier and thinking of red headed ladies, what about Anne Robinson, but is she a national treasure?

Hello curly and buddha good to see you both

neeko and blue in a few hours I will be closer to you YAY!!! Will be in Edinburgh for the weekend, can't wait

4ever and blue will you update me on moons news later, that's if you do test moon, I am trying to be calm for you but I am so curious as to what's going on

Better go and pack, or watch Homes under the Hammer, what's it to be?

VJay · 12/03/2010 10:02

Morning lovely ladies. Have loved reading the last couple of days' posts- you've all made me laugh (Vjay with the list-love especially!) and cry.. you're a wonderful bunch.

MLS I laughed at you getting Wotsits too I'm totally over it now and still have a massive bag of them dh bought me that I just don't fancy now I'm the same as you- have to have any food people mention!
Ooh haven't even said congrats re scan...soooo pleased for you but to that doctor!! That is just evil!

Blue loving the sound of that recipe- my dh makes something similar he calls tray bake, with hazlenuts and raisins added and a solid chocolate top...sooo yummy. I may just have to try yours out later! (Oh and Barbie I'll wait for the definitive answer from Blue but I think they wouldn't taste coconut-y.. dh puts dessicated coconut in that thing I just mentioned & it just gives it a lovely texture, doesn't make it taste of coconut. But maybe just try without if you really hate the stuff!)

Hi Curly! So lovely to 'see' you...give curlygirl a kiss from me

Neeko eeeeep to 'feeling different' today how exciting. Will keep my eye on my phone I'm gonna go for 20th March on the sweepstake

Vjay no experience of coil but is it still painful? I'd go to doc's if so...

Moon

We had our first NCT class last night & really enjoyed it - lovely group of people & had a good laugh. We even have a set of twins in the group, yay! We have a full day session tomorrow we're meant to bring food to- maybe I'll impress with Blue's chocolate balls
We had to do pelvic floor exercises, men too, & dh just could not find his pelvic floor so we were in hysterics

Titch has taken wriggling to new heights the last few days; my tummy is literally like something out of alien & this morning I keep getting a hard little foot poking out of my right side

Hope everyone has a lovely lovely weekend. I'll probably be back later when writers block hits!

cupcake mine has got more violent in the last two days DH felt the baby move the night before last, for the first time ever

moon and neeko lovely to see those poems again. x

pfj it's always things like that which will set you off - being asked if i would like any children was one thing that always did it for me. So awful that the MW didn't check your notes. It's all so shit isn't it. x

curly lovely to see you!

Hello everyone else!

anniebigpants · 12/03/2010 16:15

moon

4everhopeful · 12/03/2010 16:18

Aw Moon - what a blummin headf** Im so sorry hon... Take some quality time with DH this weekend and indudge in whatever makes you smile again....

PFJ hope you found some comfort in those poems sweetie? We have all been there as you can see, Iv had countless letters confirming booking in apts, nuchal scans & mat exemption cards after Iv mc'd and its just so insesitive & heartbreaking.. Slowly slowly, just go day by day..

Jools we are missing you..

Mermaid call the golfer! (..and put everyone out their misery about our iconic treasure! )

Neeko im excited for you! Please keep us posted! Ante natal went well, saw consultant as usual who was a a sweetie, saying what a great acheivement it is that we brought things, & that as my SPD is so bad & Im so tired I should stop work now! I explained Im holding out til April cos of bonus/poss rise pre redundancy etc.. He has arranged a physio referral though, and I have my walk in physio class on weds, & finally arranged an actual midwife apt next thurs as only seen one twice as been all consultant led! Baby is still a good size with super strong hb thank god!

Thanks to our lovely Vjays gift of her doppler I'm able to record bubs hb on PC and make CDs of it! I also had 28wk bloods for glucose ect (my latest anxiety is that cos Im sooooo HUGE that I may have developed gestational diabetes..? )

Vjay have a fabulous birthday & mothers day all rolled into one my fellow pisces girl! If you dont get vajazzled hope you get suitably spoilt still!

Gracie Im itching to start on your CDs - there was a thread about them earlier.. I was awake for a couple of hours in the night again & am shattered! I should of stuck it on!

Lovely to see Annie Curly and Buddha amongst the hectic routines! Hope all ok with you too Barbie after your scar pain, do take it easy wont you?

Iggy so lovely DH felt bubs move! Its magical!

Cupcake my bubs is getting pretty strong now too & can really feel whole turns and feet or hands! MLS made me lauh about the wotsits, I have been craving them eversince you mentioned them but have given up crisps for lent so sont now whether Im looking forwar more to a big bag of wotsits or easter eggs! I think its the wotsits!

MLS enjoy your spa day!

Blue big waves to you and your bonny boys!

Im so tired today! Yesterday I felt very sorry for myself and pathetic, my SPD got so bad as I did so much, got a few pressies for my mum after, then see my ex bf & her cute dd, then met DH for weekly food shop, by time we were in sainsburys I could barely walk! Its so bad! My legs were buckling when I got home and I ached everywhere, I sooo need this physio! It makes me scared for bubs when I feel that awful.. After resting up last night & today my mobility has returned but sitting at the PC is bringing it back so am gonna go.. I have my 4D scan tomorrow so although excited, I have usual pre scan jitters , and also hope she doesnt get camera shy! Visting mums after to show off DVD and pics, then chillin on sunday! Happy mothers day to everyone, inc those that will hopefully be rubbing bunps or gazing at newborns next year, and also ladies lke Annie and Monkey who I know it must be hard for without your mummies here .. I made apoint of calling bf who lost her mum 18m ago as its so in your face, I know fathers day is hard for me... Anyway girls, whatever you do, lotsa love and blessings while you do it!...

4everhopeful · 12/03/2010 16:25

anniebigpants · 12/03/2010 16:35

Thank you lovely 4ever

4everhopeful · 12/03/2010 16:43

Ahh bless Annie, like I say its so blummin in your face with adverts, shop displays etc, know it must be a real wrencher so just wanted to let you know that you are not forgotten & neither is your lovely mummy... x x x x x

mermaidspurse · 12/03/2010 17:22

moon I am hoping that a good stomp looking at pictures and a tiny bit of retail therapy helps a little. Thinking of you.x

vjay this is a bit early but I think you are going away so have a very sparkly birthday

4ever that is a lovely pram everything but the drinks cabinet! I am so so chuffed to pieces that you are now the proud part owner of one of your own

annie you are sounding a littel less frazzled glad to hear you are all sleeping a bit better. I second lovely 4evers thoughts for you this mothering sunday.xx

jools leaning on your hay stack over there chewing an ear of corn. I can see ya Hope you are ok too. I will think of you in my not as early gym class tomorrow morning.

neeko stop bouncing its ages until the 24th Have a good chilled weekend.

curly lovely to hear from you and so pleased everything is pink fluffy and contented

oh god the golfer yeeees I know I am procrastinating(sp) you may have noticed. Truth is I am bloody scared at having any more messing about down there and I know its stupid, daft etc just my little mental block.

Have good weekends, mls just attack his amex

pfg hope today is a wee bit better, you will crash, go with it eat chocolate glug wine, one of us is always around.

MummyLovesSadie · 12/03/2010 20:56

Moon I'm so sorry for this absolute headfck you are going through. I so so wanted it to be positive for you. If it is any consolation, exactly the same thing happened to me in December. I had 2 undeniably positive 1st responses so I drove to Sainsburys to get a cb digi & was devastated to read the words 'not pregnant'. The next month I fell pregnant. I have a suspicion that you are more fertile the month after a cp, I'm sure someone else on here fell pregnant the month after a cp too, was it Iggy? Neeko* I was very excited to get your text today! How are you feeling now, any more pains? A show? Waters breaking?

It's going to be a short one from me tonight as I've had a long & arduous day at the spa & now I'm packing to go away for my dreaded wonderful weekend in Nottingham. Hope you all have a lovely weekend, hang in there small panters we'll all get there together.

ThePFJ · 12/03/2010 20:56

Those poems were so very very very lovely. ~sniff~
I feel a bit empty today, I had a blood test today to check my hormone levels and got some more codeine for the pain in my belly....stupid stitches...

I am armed with mini eggs and I invited a friend round tommorrow night for a games night with me and DH to take my mind off things. DH played monopoly with me after my beautiful little boy went to sleep last night and it really helped clear my head....

Vjay - ThePFJ stands for The Peoples Front Of Judea - from Monty Python's life of Brian if anyone knows what that is. I have used that as my internet name for ages. My other internet name is Kit Nightingale the witch on the discworld mud game, based on the Terry Pratchett books, which is a bit of fun.

My real name is Lara from the film Dr Zhivago.

You are all so very supportive. It's really really nice to know you are here. Thank you.

ThePFJ · 12/03/2010 21:06

Moon - Am so sorry babes xxx

MummyLovesSadie · 12/03/2010 21:31

ThePFJ · 12/03/2010 21:33

However I am CRAP at checking my facebook page, so lets not go there just yet.... ??

ThePFJ · 12/03/2010 21:35
