4ever that is fantastic. I've been so nervous for you. My heart nearly stopped when I saw you had posted till I read your good news - god knows what I'll be like when I'm pregnant and getting a scan myself!!!

Ignore that muppet at work . I'm glad your friends in RL are being so supportive. I'm home studying today so if you need to chat, I'll be looking for any excuse for a distraction

Jools fingers and everything crossed for you this weekend. xxx

mermaidspurse · 16/01/2009 10:31

I have been checking for you all morning your news has made my day.
double slap for your work mate from me.
gulp I have been drinking coffee (a bit)

Sabs1981 · 16/01/2009 10:49

4ever thats great news!! am so happy for you...triple slap to your work colleage!

i've been on decaf coffee...thats ok right? and what about tea??

jools good luck for monday, got everything crossed for you!

thanks to mermaidspurse, mm, curlywurlee, scamperT, jools and 4ever for your kind words... Hope no1 minds if i stick around here for a little while, have joined other threads but this place feels the cosiest, friendliest and most warm (was going to write warmiest, but not too sure if thats a word!!)

mm yes i would recommend a holiday, it totally relaxed me and takes you away from RL (well i guess all holidays do that!) but im sure it must have contributed a bit...thinking of your SIL..im sure she appreciates you being there, regardless of the time difference...

mermaid good luck for the 21st...its funny how we all just wish the months away, i know i do....just hoping to hear some good news..

Sabs waves to everyone else...

mermaidspurse · 16/01/2009 10:58

bother! my coffee is the only thing which gets me vertical in the morning. Stomping off to get decaf or something herbal. yeuch.

Sabs1981 · 16/01/2009 11:00

i cant stand herbal either....

Curlywurlee · 16/01/2009 11:06

I drink coffee too. I've heard up to three cups of normal coffee is fine but then there was one study that suggested no more than 2

Sabs what was india like?

mermaidspurse · 16/01/2009 11:07

I remember reading somewhere about scientists giving spiders various nasty drugs and chemicals and the spiders were still capable of spinning a web which would catch a fly except when introduced to coffee. It was incapable of spinning at all. Mental picture of spider in Starbucks now...

Curlywurlee · 16/01/2009 11:08

I'm going to be checking for spiders everytime I go into starbucks

mermaidspurse · 16/01/2009 11:20

curlywurlee thanks for the Patrick link this must surely reflect my age but past caring. I am feeling brighter today, especially with 4evers happy news.
sabs am hoping that herbal teas have moved into the noughties.

Sabs1981 · 16/01/2009 11:24

india was fantastic...30 degrees every day...it was my third time over there, i last went 7 years ago but DH hadnt been for 25 years, so when he was 5, so couldnt remember anything from then

we spent a lot of time with DH's nan, who is 88 but looks very good for her age! also spent time with lots of other family members, looking at old photo's, especially some of DH when he was a baby that both he and I had never seen before. Made copies to bring back. We both keep on looking at them wondering if our kids will look like him or me. Also spent a lot of time shopping, as indian clothes are so cheap over there, and attending lots of dinners. I ate so much, ive put on even more weight ..

we only spent 7/8 days in our home town then flew into Goa for a few days which is so different to our home town...less traffic, more calmer...Goa has really felt the effect of the terrorist attacks, they have had less visitors this year...

we just spent 2 days on the beach, just reading, sleeping and not doing anything strenuous, and then an evening in mumbai, taking in as much sights as we could...

could go on for much longer if you want, lol!

VillageMum · 16/01/2009 11:27

Ha ha, mermaid, don't think I'd be able to spin a web, with or without coffee... Sorry to hear you've been weepy; it's the damned hormones. I feel the same, but your spider post has cheered me up.

sabs that is such wonderful news!! many many congratulations!

4ever, so pleased your scan went well and that you're sounding so upbeat! I stopped drinking coffee and tea too after my mc. Don't know why - it just felt safer...

jools good luck for Monday!

curly, enjoy your studying!

mm, thanks for keeping me in line whenever I get too gloomy! x

Joolsiam · 16/01/2009 11:51

More fab news 4Ever - what a huge relief

(has got me crying again - a symptom ? !!)

I usually drink a cup of tea first thing in the morning, a coffee when I get to work, then maybe another cuppa at lunchtime - maybe I should stop even that.

VJay · 16/01/2009 12:15

Congratulations sabs, I'm sooooo happy for you

4ever I'm glad the scan went well, it is such a releif isn't it.

I've been on decaff tea and coffee since the last mc, but I can't stand the taste of coffee now anyway.

vm I am always thinking of you, we are at the same stages aren't we and I hope we see it throught to the end together too.
I had another bit of spotting again last night, but unless it gets worse they won't do anything, so I'm just trying to carry on as normal. I have been signed off for a week, but continue studying, so as normal as I can be. It is getting me down though, but DH said last night 'I did this with ds so think positivly', bless him, I am trying.

VJay · 16/01/2009 12:24

My dating scan letter has just dropped through my letter box, it's on the 6th of Feb. I'll only be about 10.5 weeks, but on another letter they say they do them up here between 10 and 12 weeks. So only 3 weeks to wait.....

gingermumi · 16/01/2009 13:13

Congrats sabs, so glad all ok 4ever

Curlywurlee · 16/01/2009 13:39

It sounds amazing Sabs I'm very jealous, I think India will be next stop on our travel wishlist. I really want to plan some hols but also want to wait and see. Must stop putting life on hold! How is your Nan by the way?

Hello to VM MM Ginger 4ever and everyone else - hope you've got that friday feeling. I'm going home to my parents for the weekend so looking forward to catching up with everyone there.

Jools, I'm off out to buy some pregnancy tests. Not even ovulating yet but just like having one in the drawer!! I'm really feeling for you honey, it is so hard to wait and not symptom watch. To be honest, I thought I had morning sickness yesterday, and I've just had AF so not likely!! I think I'm losing the plot. Hopefully Monday will bring fantastic news for you. How is your back doing - is it any better?

Curlywurlee · 16/01/2009 13:42

VJ forgot to say, I hope you're having more luck with the studies today. I just can't concentrate! Great news about the scan, we'll have to sprinkle lots of baby dust in our cave till then

mermaidspurse · 16/01/2009 13:58

everythings fine ladies cos I now have 'a moment of calm' in my bestest tea cup. It smells like a Lush ballistic, hmmm.
vm hope the sickness is easing off. It helps to know its not just me snivelling away. Which leads me onto jools fingers crossed.
vjay you are doing so well sweetie, very proud of you.
yeuuchhhhhhh that is disgusting I do not feel calm.

bluesatinsash · 16/01/2009 16:18

Congratulations sabs! I've heard so many stories of people falling pg on their hols, all that change of scenery, eating out and wearing flip flops must do the trick .

4ever - so glad scan went OK, one hurdle crossed.

VM - just give in to your body - I used to go to bed at 6.30pm every night when I was 6-12 weeks pg with DS.

Jools - sending lots of baby dust for Monday

Mermaid - I'm a herbal tea fan - some of it is bogging but I love green tea and lotus flower tea, very calming and apparently good for cellulite .

Have last 'reminder' day tomorrow when I would have been 12 weeks but feel I can now finally close that chapter as I hadn't noted any further dates for fear of tempting fate (fat lot of good that did me). I'm already itching for June to come, I have to repeat, contraception, contraception, contraception!

to everyone else. Have a lovely weekend x

Molliemooma · 16/01/2009 19:20

Barbie So glad you got there safe and sound, can't wait for you to be set up properly
VJay Glad to hear you are taking it easy and been signed off, at least you have a date for your scan now, so there is light at the end of the tunnel
VM How are you feeling, still super tired?
Sabs Congratulations That is one good way to celebrate a holiday! I am really pleased for you x
Mermaid Only 12 sleeps until the scan, think of it that way and it doesn't seem so long
MM I know it seems awful that it takes a shared bad experience to bond, but at least you can support each other across the sea. Isn't your next appt soon?
Curly How pants no Patrick Swayze You have got me thinking that a little dirty dancing will help me get through my mountain of ironing
Jools Will keep everything crossed that TEW stays away
4ever So very very pleased that the scan went well and not long to wait for another one, hurray

Big weekend waves to everyone else lurking

Molliemooma · 16/01/2009 19:22

Blue I missed you out I hope you get through tomorrow without too many sad thoughts or tears sending you a huge hug x

barbie1 · 18/01/2009 07:44

Molliemooma · 18/01/2009 09:10

Barbie FB done! Looking forward to seeing some lovely pictures to make me very Hope you are settling in well, and really hope your DH makes a good business case for your 24 hour internet!!!
Take care for now x

gingermumi · 18/01/2009 11:38

Barbi habe done FB too.

Talking of anniversaries and reminders, my friend has just announced she's 15 weeks pregnant (i thought she might have been at christmas but didnt say anything because she'd also had a recent mc). We would have been about the same stage, she didn't say anything because she didn't want to upset me. Still don't know wht to do about trying again. Would have loved another one but am 43 now and time is against us. Dh really regrets not having children earlier (i wanted to, he didn't) but he's scared we'll have another mc. If only i was 5 years younger it would be so much less of an issue...

VillageMum · 18/01/2009 13:29

barbie, thank you so much for your kind words about the book; I'm trying to get on with the next one but am just feeling too sick and low and BLEEECCCHH.

BUT all I ever do when I come on here is complain, it seems, so I'm going to shut up and send positive sticky vibes to all the mums-to-be and much love to everyone else! x
