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

Anyone else finding Eastenders hard to watch? Its bringing back some horrible memories

Will be back tomorrow with a proper post

Hello Louey I'm glad you found us. I hope yesterday wasn't too awful. I've had 2 natural mc's & an erpc, there is no 'better' way to mc in my opinion as any mc is devastating. This is a very sad & upsetting time for you & we are all here to help you through. Yes mc is very hard-hitting, it's something you never imagine happening to you, especially if you've already had a child. Now you are probably coming to terms with the fact that it's not just your baby that has been taken away from you, but your dreams & expectations too. I hope you are finding some comfort in your dt's. I bet at least they are keeping you on your toes!

Neeko how are you holding up? I bet the minutes feel like hours. Every morning I leap on my phone as soon as I wake up to find...... nothing!

4ever how are you doing now?

Barbie you have mentioned the poo, wee & sick but you've not said anything about the earwax & bogies! I bet you never imagined you'd ever be picking stuff out of another humans' nose or ears..... & actually enjoying it!!

Iggy or piggy? I liked your new name - I think the only person who was getting confused was you!

Vjay no I don't like mini-eggs & I have tried them. In fact I have a confession yesterday I threw away the contents of dd's Thorntons Christmas selection box as it should have been eaten by Feb & had hardly been started. Not only that but I threw away half an Easter egg that had been festering for a while & there is a shelf-full of chocolate preztels, chocolate buttons, chocolate seashells, snowbites, white chocolate snowmen & Milkyway stars that have all been gathering dust & will probably end up getting chucked out too!

Sabs i was nearly crying at Eastenders

welcome louey we will look after you

Loads of X-posts.... serves me right for typing so slow!

Cupcake you will have to go to the library I'm afraid! You simply can't not have access to MN for over two weeks, that's just downright silly!

Blue oh I remember the stealth night feeds well. Do you tiptoe backwards out of the room like I used to?!

Sabs yes I'm finding 'Enders difficult to watch at the moment. I keep shouting 'bitch' at the screen and as for Ian Beale, he'll always be a complete bast**d in my eyes now. How could he do that to his lovely wife? I know it's not real but it does touch a raw nerve.

I've not plucked up the courage to watch this weeks' One Born yet as I've been told it's a heart rending episode.

Waves to Moon.

Yes MLS I heard OBEM was sad Tues, girls on my an thread are obsessed by it...still not watching myself! v prem baby wasn't it?
And hoooow can you have all that chocolate in the house?? Crazy lady!

Lol, blue I hadn't considered dh carrying me over the threshold (I'll choose to ignore the cheeky crane comment ) but might suggest it

Hi

Sad welcomes to Louey I had a MMC at 12 weeks just over a year ago and it was without a doubt the most devastating event of my life. I'm now impatiently waiting the birth of my baby, so there is light at the end of the tunnel. Stick with us. We've been through it all and will hold your hand, wipe your tears and feed you chocolate.

4ever Hope you're feeling better now and got some reassurance today. Can't imagine how scary it must be for you with every scan as I couldn't possibly multiply the fear I felt by 4. As I said before, I hope the next 10 wks fly past.

Blue I am pretty crabbit actually, especially when there's no Grey's on. Talk about pushing the buttons of a desperate woman!

MLS Hope you're feeling better. Maybe the text will be there in the morning

Moon How's the back pain? Any sign of the witch?

Barbie LOL at sneaking away from a night out for fast food. It's amazing how quickly they take over every waking thought, isn't it?

Cupcake Good luck with the move. I promise to text when the contractions start so you can rush to the library!

PFJ You've been quiet today? How you doing?

Hi to everyone else. Check out the finished cardigan on my profile Bring on the labour pains!

neeko that cardy is amazing, i'm so in awe of anyone who can knit, i once knitted a dishcloth for my nan (why who knows?) when i was small which contained mainly holes, and bless her she kept it right up til the day she died

backache is still there, so af def on way

Aww thanks Moon That's made me feel so much better.

Still keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Crikey you girls were up late last night. I however have been up since 5am with dd.

No text from Neeko this morning.

hi mls how are you feeling, peanut butter taste gone

Im starting to think neekobaby will hold out for april...maybe the 1st, just to make a fool of mummy!

Haha don't say that she'll kill you! Yes peanut butter taste gone but I've gone right off the stuff now. I seem to be going off more & more food & am struggling to find anything I actually want to eat. I weighed myself the other day & a few weeks ago I'd put on a pound but now I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight.

Hello to you all

I hope you don't mind, but the lovely pfj has told me all about you ladies on this thread and at the risk of another mouth to feed with mini eggs I was hoping to join.

This was my 2nd pregnancy, I already have an amazing 3 year old DS, I was on the October thread wth Louey, pfj and mummylovessadie, but sadly had a MC at 6 weeks, a couple of weeks ago. I have been hiding on a thread along with Pfj since then, but decided to venture further afield now that I am beginning to feel a little more normal.

It was a natural miscarriage that has been a long, drawn out process with 2 scans and lots of blood tests as my HCG levels were staying the same so they worried about an ectopic and now they are finally going down very slowly, still not back to normal yet. Like pfj, if we do decide to ttc again (still not sure) I will wait until May. It has been horrible, as you all sadly know and I have found it difficult as we have told very few people. I am feeling more normal, but have been left with a slightly anxious feeling, is this normal?

Reading your threads you seem like a really supportive group and it is really good to see that you are all at different stages in the process. ThePfj has been a brilliant support for me the last couple of weeks and it has been great to chat to someone going through the same thing.

I am in awe of all your abilities to retain information and personalise each post so well. Can I be in training for that and apologies if it takes me a while to do it.

Louey I am so sorry to hear what had happened, that must be devastating and so cruel to get to the 12 week scan and find out I remember you were so kind popping on to my thread to see how I was doing.

mummylovessadie glad everything is going well for you and I hope the rest of the October girls are doing well too

4ever my heart goes out to you and I could just feel your worry. I hope your visit to the hospital was reassuring.

Neeko the waiting seems to be forever doesn't it? I will be cheeky and come swooping in at the last moment and suggest 29/03 for the sweepstake Not what you want to hear I know! When were you due?

That's me done for the personals, told you I wouldn't be very good Hope everyone else is ok today.

Sorry for the epic first post

Hello QA good to see you here but sorry for the reason you came. I'm glad you are starting to feel a bit more normal now. You'll probably find that you'll be up & down for a while. You think you are ok then suddenly 'bam' you feel like it all happened yesterday. Talking about it really helps, people in rl often don't understand & they expect you to get over it but that is what we are all here for. You'll soon get to know us & then you'll be posting like the rest of us! Also many of us use Facebook so the really nosey ones among us (me included!) get to stalk each other there too!

I've sent 2 texts to Neeko this morning & she hasn't replied......

Yay, I'm loving all the newcomers! (Because it means hopefully less talk about poo haha, kidding!)
Hi QuestionsAnswered And welcome so sorry to hear what you've been through. My mc was long and drawn out too as they kept telling us to come back in another week for more scans cos they couldn't tell if baby was growing etc...it's horrible all the waiting. It's actually a year today since we were told baby died but I now have a massive 32 week bump that won't give me any sleep from wriggling so we are all here to support you through to your next pregnancy (if that's what you decide you want)
sometimes if there's loads of information to retain I write notes to myself as I read through

Neeko the cardi looks fab! And yes, baby can now come, knowing it has something to keep it warm I'm so sure you're having a boy. Can't wait to hear the news!

Well I am expecting to be cut off from the world any minute so will just idly read MN til then...

False alarm, she was in Asda!

Cupcake hello & sorry you are having a sad anniversary today.

Hi questionsanswered and a welcome to you, but glad you feel more normal and have joined us. Yes the anxious feeling is normal, I had 2 mc's before ds2 came along, I was so so scared but at the back of my mind I kept thinking, if this one goes tits up at least they'll start doing some test, it was a threatened mc, but now he's rolling around next to me sucking on a toy . I would never have got through my mc's and pg without the fabulous support on here, and as you can see we all stick around to continue the support, so hope you stay too so we can help . Feel free to chat, cry and rant on here whenever, I still do I've added you onto our lists, hope you don't mind.

neeko come on!!!!!!!!!!

mls can't believe you threw out all that chocolate, I was crying with all the waste

QuestionsAnswered 29/03

Right I need some more advice, I rang the doctor yesterday as I'm in even more pain with my back, it feels like a trapped nerve (I think, not had one before ) and it's more in my hip than my back, anyway she said to stop taking the ibuprofen she doesn't recommend it with bf, and has prescribed me cocodamol instead, which is better, but dh says maybe I should stop bf and give Ajay formula instead. I'm so blinkin tired Ajay was up 4 times last night, then I couldn't sleep because of the pain, so ended up taking cocodamol at 1am then again at 4am, only 1 tablet each time so didn't think that was too bad, but it did help me sleep. Any suggestions/advice? Oh and the doc said it sounds like my back need manipulation as it's been put out during the birth, OUCH! so is trying to get my physio rushed through.

Hi cupcake and mls. neeko fab cardigan

Morning! Sad days when you can't even get to Asda without being stalked! And from the complete opposite end of the country no less!

Welcome to Questions Really sorry to hear of your MC but glad you found us. So nice to have more small/no panters on the thread. (I hope it brings some of our AWOL ladies back) You'll know if and when you're ready to TTC again and the ladies here know EVERYTHING about TTC and surviving the weebly moments. We'll look after you. Most of us have been on here for at least a year and we should have all signed the official secrets act for the things we know about each other! I was very impressed with your knowledge for a 1st post.

Cupcake Don't leave us!!!!

4ever How you feeling today?

Moon any news?

MLSthestalker Sorry to get you all excited for nothing!

Vjay Oh that's a hard one. Only you can make the decision to stop feeding and if the doc says the tablets are safe, then either choice should be ok. Can't remember now, but did you have an epidural? It gave me a sore back for about a year after the birth last time - though the medical profession would deny it!

Just fixing the list as Vjay missed Lionthe famous Tsk! Tsk! That's worse than one contraction!

Lion says 1/4

neeko, I told you I'm tired. No I didn't have an epidural this time, there was no time Ajay wanted out

Show off!

Morning too!

Welcome QuestionsAnswered and so sorry you have mc its just heartbreaking... Take comfort and sneak extra cuddles from your DS, it does help. My DS1 is 3 too, well 4 in June. Its a great age isn't it? They're really coming into their own, ans so funny unintentionally half the time. Pull up a bean bag and settle in .

Neeko - loving the cardy, hand knitted ones are just delicious! B is still in his although getting a bit ticht on him now. what did you watch instead then? We caught up on CSI.. BTW yes the new bird in Grey's was 'Nico' from Lipstick Jungle - I assume they cancelled that show? I can't make up my mind it she's attractive, something to do with her nose and nostrils in particular. She also has a bit of the 'Celine Dion' about here (what's with the long face ).. anytway, get scrubbing again after you've put the messages away.

Vjay - honey your back must be giving you so much jip. Backache is the worst. Has your DH suggeted formula to give you a break? Will he do the night feeds instead? As you have said to me, only you will know when you want to switch over but you have given Ajay 6-months of gold top and that is just amazing. Really hope you get your physio appointment soon and they get to the bottom of what is causing the pain.

MLS - how are you baring up after your 5am start/? Its a killer. Does your Dd still nap during the day? I deleted OBEM from planner as couldn't bring myself to watch it as I knew I would be too upset as it was all about the neo-natal ward. The trailers alone were too . I think it was a good outcome though... I had a peanut butter sarnie last night, first one in ages.

Having a nice chilled day as DS1 is at nursery all day. Even managed to rustle up some celery and courgette soup for friend coming round for lunch. Have pulled out of night out tonight. Just getting too stressed with it all, the planning/feeding etc. for 2 hours at the most in the pub. My friend is coming round on Tues so will see her then. If only she was over six months from now...

Later ladies x

Morning Blue I'm lurking on here til the battery goes on the laptop. I actually watched that thing on channel 4 about rescuing injured soldiers.
I've never been able to make my mind up about that actress. Lipstick Jungle was cancelled after season 2 - and I liked it to.

Was reassured to see Grey's is back next week. Don't see why they need a whole evening about ghosts!

Well done for cancelling night out. It's good to hear you putting yourself first.

Right, off to hoover...
