Emmsy's weebles - enjoying comfort, support and mini eggs, onwards and upwards!

[VJay]

A new home ladies! Tis the season for mini eggs , time for baby neeko to arrive, and more BFP's, oh and mls joining the bigpant bench

Shall I be MissIggyPiggy then?

Piggy - you can be whoever you like and we won't judge you. (nods sagely)

As the movie from my namesake says 'I want to be called Loretta, and I want to have babies.....'

Neeko - Football? Bleh.

girls you have to read this www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/934578-Nightmare-Incident-with-Neighbour-39-s-Parcel-please-sympathise-an d

poor Devon looks she is apple bobbing on my boob cos im laughing so much

Ill be back later when i get both hands free

PMSL. OMG So funny. Well done Barbie. Well done.

hi girls, you've been busy today

just had to come on here to share my weird dream from last night...

i was going for my 12 week scan, which was scheduled for 3.30pm, so i was having a look round the shops beforehand. i got tired so i snuggled up on a bench inside and promptly fell asleep, not waking up til 6.30pm so i raced over to the hospital to see if they could still see me, only the hospital had turned into a corner shop, and they said they couldnt see me, then out of nowhere a old man in a suit turns round and says i am a doctor, this lady has lost 2 babies, u must see her now to put her mind at ease. so this shopgirl/nurse (?) starts preparing what looked like a photocopier, with leads coming out of it, she kind of pointed this laser gun thing at my stomach, a picture of my baby came out of the photocopier and that was that!

Sorry for calling you pathetic neeko, but one contraction , I don't sound very sorry do I , it made me laugh, but like monkey said, one is better than none

moon that is a weird dream, I bet you've been mulling it over all day, I know I would have.

barbie that link is funny , what a shame

EWWWW Barbie why would you make us read that!

Oh and moon woah- weird dream I hope the whole 12 week scan part is a sign though

Moon I hope your dream is a sign of good things to come for you.

Barbie that thread was fantastic!

Just had my whole NCT antenatal class over for the afternoon. 9 first time mums and babies aged 6-11 weeks. I had a really good afternoon, its so nice to mix with people who are still finding their feet as Mums. I feel so much more confident after an afternoon with them, knowing we're all as rubbish as each other! I think sometimes mother-in-laws and friends with much older babies can't remember what its like and make insensitive comments - no 6 week old baby is going to behave themself to fit round adults!

Its a good thing I live in a detached house as 9 babies can get very loud!

OMG, barbie that thread was hysterical.

Enjoy the antenatal meets, Gracie , they will keep you sane for years to come!

Got to go - BabyBelle has hiccups now after all the laughing I've been doing to that thread!

Hello folks, feeling a little bit better . Starting to dread my scan next Tues though.

Gracie & Barbie I practically had dd attached to my breast for a month until I started supplementing her feeds with formula. It wasn't the breastmilk she wanted but just some comfort. I tried her with a dummy (even though I swore I'd never use one) but she didn't take to it, but the formula really seemed to make a difference & she was a lot more settled.

Gracie nine babies & Mummies?! Wait until they are all toddlers then you'll know the true meaning of destruction! I found that meeting regularly with my NCT group after dd was born was a real life-saver.

Moon that is a freaky dream, vivid dreams like that normally start in early pregnancy.

MsPiggy liking the name change.

Monkey so sorry you are still feeling so utterly grotty. I'm sure your Mum is up there somewhere looking down on your bean & doing everything she can to make everything ok for you.

Cupcake I echo what MsPiggy said about Floradix. It is much better stuff than iron tablets & it's completely natural.

Louey popped back onto my other thread & said she'd be joining us soon. She had her erpc today.

Blue just saw your fb status, hope ds2 perks up soon.

PFJ I'm glad you like Big Brother as you, me & Sabs can have a morning dissection after each episode when it starts in May!

4ever whooppee for your big strong girl! Is that your last scan now?

Neeko I know what this waiting is like, it's a bit like standing on the edge of a precipice & just waiting to fall. Remember text me any time of day or night.

Waves to Vjay, BQ, Mermaid, Jools (hope you are doing ok) LBM & anyone else I may have missed.

I've become fascinated with Carla Bruni's face! Why can't beautiful people age gracefully? Here is a website I found, it's got a great gallery too of celebrity before & after surgery pics!

P.S. am I the only person on this thread MN who doesn't like Mini-Eggs???

Mls how can you not like mini eggs????? All the more for me!

Yes I had wondered how the NCT group meets would work once the babies get mobile!

gracie - what happens to the NCT groups when the babies get bigger is that you start hiring a local church hall once a week so that your houses don;t get destroyed. We did that for about a year and it worked really well.
When dd was 6 weeks, we invited the whole of our antenatal class over for lunch - 12 couples and 13 babies. It was a once in a life time experience - luckily we had a reasonably big house at the time but I would never do it again! DD really didn't like it and clung to me all the day, her room became a massive changing/ feeding room . Very nice but nevere repeated!

MLS - you are obviously a freak and you must seek medical attention IMMEDIATELY for your non miniegg addiction. Seriously.

And yes I would LOVE to disect Big Brother with you next time. The last celeb one when Verne drunkenly drove his wheelchair into the diary room door and almost catapulted into the wall had me in stitches.

Im weebling badly, had some teeny spotting but not sure from where? I had physio today for spd & she was pushin on pubic bone, also have ragin thrush, which i was overwiping this morning, & also had bikini wax about 2pm, (but not v close to my bits?) So, it could of been any of those things, & been loo twice since & nothing? Just wierd that it would happen after an hour of sleep, rather than earlier after any of poss oth causes & at least 10 wee trips earlier in evening? On top of that had already been feelin iffy as the last few days have been beyond exhausted, put it down to v bad sleep cos of spd/thrush/heartburn but been feelin weak, dizzy, bit sick, bit breathless, & while tryin to sleep have had headaches which i never suffer from, as well as lack of sleep id put this down to bein told i have low iron, tho not anemic.. I actually called day assessment this evening & they said maybe come in for a check, im kickin myself that i been at hosp both tues for scan & weds for physio & never mentioned it... Just put it down to normal preg symptoms, however after miniscule spots lay in bed sick with worry that i have no bag packed, how to get to hosp, what to wear, my hair needs washing, have no cash so need the bank, visualizing all scenarios with mind racing.. Bubs has been moving thankfully & at scan on tues was told she is 4lb 9 & if she came now would be fine, so holding onto that, but still freaking, worryin if something up with me? if symptoms are normal or something to worry about? Dh reassurin, Know i really need to sleep, see if any further spotting & go back to hosp for 3rd day in a row for check tomorrow to hopefully put mind at rest & be told its nothing.. Big part of me wants to ignore it all & put head in sand, which is mental when day assessment midwife said to come in & be checked, & that was before wierd unexplainable 5 bits of teensy spotting (im def in denial i realise!) My head is f*d, just went for another wee & def no more.. I so needed a good sleep tonight

4ever - you sound like I was at your stage of PG when I was with my little Jack. Stress and anxiety can completely magnify everything you are feeling and make it all add up and seem worse. Glad there is no more bleeding, and you are right to get a check up. However I expect you just need some tlc and some rest. Perhaps a how chocolate with whipped cream on top?

Having to wee every 5 minutes if such a pain in the bum, you have my every sympathy there, I remember hating that and trying to stop drinking as much in the evening, but its impossible!

Super huge hugs sweetie xxx

Morning!

4ever How are you feeling now? Is it possible that you have a skin tag down there? They are quite common in pregnancy and all the wiping could easily have caused one to bleed. Hope you get some reassurance and the time flies until you DD is full term and out. xx

Barbie Nice to see the old you back and making us laugh. I can still burst into spontaneous laughter when i think of that link to the girl filling her car with petrol

Gracie 9 babies?

Moon I agree with MLS

PFJ You're sounding chirpy. Hope you're on the way up.

Cupcake you'll probably hear me shouting it from the rooftops anyway

Vjay I used to like you...

Off to finish the cardigan, in case that's what the baby is waiting for. Take care all.

Sorry all - have changed back to old name - new one was getting confusing!

gracie Whilst I realise I am pregnant - I do think I may be in denial about the fact that you end up with an actual baby - is nice reading your posts, and barbie's posts and everyone elses - because it reminds me what may be coming!

4ever so sorry you weebling - hope you got lots of sleep and feel better today? If it reassures you at all - I have been getting occasional headaches too - and I don't normally. xx

4ever the only thing that will put your mind at rest is getting checked out by a doctor. Hope you managed to get some sleep & have woken up with a clearer head.

I'm just waiting for my neighbour to pick up dd & then I'm going back to bed. Was coughing half the night again & have another really bad headache. Started taking Floradix again in case iron deficiency is the problem.

Have just woken & thank god no more spotting.. Cant tell u the immense fear & panic of a poss middle of the night hospital dash like i had at 20wks, the anxiety rushed back & just thought i could have my babe tonight (at best ) but nothings ready.. As said, i called the day assessment yest, who said that the exhaustion dizziness & headaches should be checked out & go to the delivery suite, dont kno if thats an out of hours thing, so will call again to check, gonna rest more, bath, eat etc & take it from there.. Im sure the 1st time mums out there do vaguely remember the immense anxiety that would be natural anyway, let alone preg after (4)mc & desperation to join the 'exclusive parenting club' being so near, yet so far, & scared to be complacent or too presuming or confident? I kno u hear that with birth the pain is instantly forgotten & i think that must also go for the mental torture we were all originally united in.. This is a very vulnerable & lonely time for me.. Last night scared me too bits & took me back 10 paces, again.. Even my scan on tues, gave a cure for 3 days of constipation that morning cos of 2 vessel cord issue, yet feel iv used up my compassion quota a little as that was scan no 18 or something ridiculous, & next one in 4wks which ill be just as nervous about cos the fear of entering a scan room after having 4mc clearly never leaves you, no matter how far along u get.. I feel so sorry for the small pant girls cos really feel part of the minority slightly now, & just cant imagine how hard it is for u & ur need to disappear for a bit.. Just really hope u make it back & we turn things round.. Sorry for rant, im very hormonal, vulnerable & confused with a million mixed emotions & fears, however i dont forget that i do deserve credit for bein the weeble that always ends up upright & can pat myself on the back that i am a fighter & am a positive pragmatic woman, & iv had to be after 3yrs of heartache & desperation to be a mum, so think im allowed the odd outpouring...

Hello - I hope you don't mind but MummyLovesSadie pointed me over here and said you were all lovely. I had a MMC on Monday at 12+3 after having a scan at 8+3 where we saw a HB and a baby measuring right on track. Needless to say, the scan on Monday came as a huge shock .

I had an ERPC yesterday which was grim although the staff at the hospital were great. I'm feeling a bit physically better to day although still shellshocked and guess I will be for a while. I had no idea how hard a MC can hit you (normally I'm a very positive person).

We will be trying again after I get through the next few weeks but I'm absolutely dreading the first trimester (not least because I puke right from the start).

Hi Loueytbg a sad but very warm welcome to this lovely thread

As mls has already told you we have all been there sadly so we are probably the best people to hold your hand and help you through it.

Take plently of rest and dont be too hard on yourself over the next few days, we are always here whenever you need cheering up.

weeble how you doing now my love? I dont really know what to say to help you, the worry never goes away does it? i forgot to say i love the name summer, she really is going to brighten up your world

mls boo hiss to you still feeling like poo....back to bed and relax lady!

neeko where are you? labour ward???

moon strange dream..im still sure that its going to be your time very soon.....

gg i had a gracie day today, i sat on my bed all afternoon letting Devon suck the life out of me she would make a great extra on the twighlight movie cos she is a mini vampire.
I have finally managed to get her to go back to sleep after a feed when she wakes in the night time now so things are looking up!
There was me feeling all pleased with myself for devon getting to 7lb 3 oz and then you come along and tell me your dd is already 10lb something! When are you going home? are you still at the parents? Oh and can you say hi to kate for me.

piggyiggy or iggypiggy or even just piggy yep you are having a baby glad reading our post havent put you off any....not even the pooing on me? So far i have had 3 poo's 4 wee's and countless mini sicks...yummy!

blue yep Devon has her very own passport! Night mare trying to get her to sit up straight in the photo booth though
She also has 2 birth certificates and another on it's way one arabic, one translated to english and then a proper english one.
The night out was rubbish too tired, to fat to fit any nice clothes, scar hurt, and i missed her! I also drove and then found out that there was a limo )hen night) so i ended up following the thing to the venue only to realise that we were heading miles out and that they had hired it by the hour, so i made a detour (via kfc, naughty barbie) and went home to rescue dh...

lbm glad you liked the link, i couldnt stop laughing at the shat/ sat part ...Does mini bell get hiccups lots? Devon had them loads in the womb and is just as bad now

Waves to everyone else...must dash dh will be home soon, back laters x

Oh 4ever my lovely lovely weeble, you rant away, pg after mc is so scary and with the added hormones on top I found it hideous sometimes, all you can do is take each day as it comes. Keep listening to that heartbeat babes. I wish I could come and give you a rl hug, but here's a cyber one instead >>

barbie there was a time when you would put this up for a sick face whenever we talked about poo, and here you are now talking about it everyday

Hi loueytbg a sad welcome to you, so sorry you've had a miscarriage and hope you are being well looked after at home. Please stick around here and talk, cry, and rant away whenever you need to, we all understand, it's the pits, but we can help you move forward, onwards and upwards is what we say on here

mls I can't believe you don't like mini eggs, what's not to like? Have you even tried them

iggy I liked Missiggypiggy that wasn't confusing, aslong as you have iggy in there I'll know it's you

neeko are you bouncing or pushing at the moment?

Big waves to y'all, laters xxx

Hello lovelies.
Well our internet gets cut off tomorrow until 16th April- boo! But hoping to still be able to access at work and I'll just have to go to the library if I'm desperate! Stupid phone won't let me on MN as it's a forum and I need to ring up to take off some security thing but haven't got round to it yet

4ever! I can't believe the worries you've had you poor weeble really hope hospital reassured you. Of course you're bound to feel vulnerable you've had a heck of a journey but even if your girl did come now chances are she'd be just fine. 30 weeks tomorrow and every day gives her more chance Text me anytime if you want to just rant by the way.

MLS lol love the surgery website but can't believe SJP isn't on there! Her face is positively freaky right now!

Vjay that cracked me up your comment to MLS about mini eggs, sounded very teacher/parent-like 'have you even tried them?' haha I ate lots of mini eggs today..nomnom

Iggy I totally agree about the not realising a real baby is at the end of this

gracie sounds lovely about the NCT group. We're having a social with ours next week, all still pregnant of course so the Italian restaurant we're going to will have fun with us! We have 8 couples but 9 babies, yay I like what you said about first-time mums being reassuring; I'm looking forward to that as I'm sure my Mum, MIL and other friends will be a bit know-it-all. My friend who's due same day as me with her second has already told me and dh we 'musn't' breastfeed on demand. We just made this face at her and said, yes dear.

Ooooh where is Neeko? (I bet I've x-posted with her now )

Louey big sad welcomes to you. My mc was almost exactly a year ago now and reading your post just took me right back to those feelings of total desolation. You are absolutely in the right place. Sorry that there's a lot of baby talk on here too but we do all know the horrible pain of mc and picking yourself up after it so feel free to say anything you like about how you're feeling! Have a mini egg.

Was thinking about annie and curly today or some reason, who we haven't heard from in a while.. hope you're both ok

Saw midwife today, baby is head down, yippee.

Evening ladies,

wecome to louey. Echo what the other girls have said, we've all been there and there is no emotion we've not gone through. I think its doubly awful when you have had a 'good' scan and your hopes are up. I did take a teeny bit of comfort in that both my lost lo's were gone by the time I had my scan (8 weeks for both).. This leads me on to..

4ever or weeble as msbarbie has named you. You rant away lovely and yes so many of us are now holding our 'Emmsy's Graduates" but I can take myself back to the post-mc/ttc/sheer agony that is the first nay 2nd trimester in a second. I can still taste the fear in my mouth when I remember going for my numerous scans. The having to wear the exact same clothes, walk the same route. My worst wobble was my 11 week scan as it was 2 days before Ds's birthday and all I could remember was my MMC had happened 2 days before his Xmas. Like you I had 3rd trimester worries as B was almost delivered when I was 32 weeks and all I could scream to DH was that we hadn't a name and now tiny clothes. I remember sitting on PC looking at Mothercare premmie clothes and willing B to hold in there.

I truly believe your DD will go to term and you will be crabbit and overdue like our neeko (not that you're crabbit ). You have SO MUCH to contend with, the normal agony of SPD/tiredness/hormones with the not daring to hope that you will get your 'take home baby' at the end of it after all you have been through but you so will 4ever and we will so be cheering and crying and whooping for you and your DH when that day comes in June.

Here endeth the ramblings

barbie - can relate to night out bleugh. I've got one tomorrow (friend over from Hong Kong) in Edinburgh and I so do not fancy two hours in All Bar One nursing a diet coke wishing I was on the couch. I love my friend to bits but just want to stay in until summer! Great that Devon is sleeping after night time feeds. Its a relief when that happens. B is now in his room overnight and I am in total stealth mode for night feeds, tip toe in-boob-cot-tiptoe out BTW loved the link and wasn't the footstool awful looking anyway

cupcake - hope you manage to get on here during the move. Happy New Home when it comes. Is your DH going to hire a crane carry you over the threshold.

MLS you better be tucked up in bed just now!

Vjay - I think B will be a finger/thumb sucker like Ajay. I stood in front of formula aisle in Boots today but walked away. going to wait an see what Breast councillor advises tomorrow. Ben also slept from 1am-7am last night but he did have his jags and was v. poorly with them and cold...

neeko taps fingers.....

Iggy - welcome back . How's the house hunting going?

Gracie - sounds like you have a good group going there . Some of my closest friends are Mum's I met through having DS1.

Moon - what a vivid dream, really hope it means something...

Sabs - how is Saara getting on with baby rice?

Bit waves to everyone else, better go, DS1 is redy for stories
