To WIIT to whoohoo! 5th thread

[100years]

Well what happens now?

Old thread

Thanks Quod. I had a proper bawl at my DP last night, stayed in bed until after 9am this morning and felt better today, although still tired and hard work.

E has taken to touching things she knows she isn't allowed, and I think it's because she knows I can't move very quickly, so she's doing it more for me than for anyone else, it's a bit frustrating, I can play with her for however long, she then walks off and goes and tries and turns off the TV sound player thing, or moves the tv (it swivels) and reaches for the wires, and she has already touched them by the time I am with her. It's just a bit hard, I'm trying to teach her things and teach her no, but it's a difficult age. Ah well.

Oh LAHG - hope you have had a rest and feel better today. If you fancy a laugh there's a great post on the toddler logic thread from a mum who realised her little boy thought Xmas tree baubles were called 'DON'T TOUCH THAT'.

I have been hit with the no energy stick this week - don't actually feel tired, just like if I was a computer game character my vitality levels would be on minimum! Had booking in appt yesterday followed by pretending all is normal at my work Xmas party - quite a surreal day. I found myself sitting in the antenatal unit thinking oh my god everybody in this room KNOWS I am pregnant! Made it all seem quite weirdly real all of a sudden. Scan a week tomorrow and hoping seeing the baby will make it sink in a bit more.

LAHG how are you getting on?

Everyone else - how is Xmas prep? I have a couple of last bits to get over the weekend but am feeling more relaxed about it now. In a way I wish I had that to focus on as time is now dragging until Mondays scan, which I have got really nervous about with my lack of symptoms. DP is really nervous too.

Hi everyone!

Quod not much longer now. It was such a massive relief getting to 12 weeks, I honestly only half believed there would be a baby in there! I didn't have a single symptom for ages, apart from an unpleasant taste in my mouth and a mad craving for carbs - and that didn't seem very conclusive!

LAHG it sounds utterly exhausting and horrible. Just being pregnant with the one pfb is getting me down sometimes, I really can't imagine how much it's trying your patience. You'd be a saint if you never stressed out over it all.

I'm not ready for Christmas at all - still have cards to send!

Morning all!

LAHG it does sound totally exhausting!!! Hope u are getting plenty of rest x

Quod, fingers crossed for scan! Eeek!!

I'm nearly ready for Xmas, just 'the shop' to do at Tesco tomorrow!

Got a rubbish sore throat/earache bug, DH is STILL in bed!! Hope it clears up before Tuesday!

Really sad news. Our scan today showed that my pregnancy hasn't developed. Got to go back in a week to have missed miscarriage confirmed. DP and I are gutted.

Sorry to bring an Xmas downer. On the way to ILs now to grit my teeth and try to get through the next couple of days.

Oh Quod, am so so so sorry there are no other words :(

Big, massive, un-MNy hugs xxxx

Oh Quod, really really sorry to hear your news. :( do take care of yourself over the next few days. Big hugs, MNetty or not hugs and thoughts with you in next few days. Xx

Oh god Quod that's so shitty I'm so sorry.

Just woke up and this was the first thing I thought of. I can hardly believe it sweetheart, it's so unfair and such awful timing. I wish there was something we could do. I hope today passes quickly.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts x

Quod how are you doing? Has your DP's mum been supportive?

I want to say happy Christmas to everyone.

Happy Christmas LAHG. I hope you've managed to put your feet up. Did you all have a nice day?

Holding up over here - been managing an hour at a time of Xmas jollity between extended periods crying in bed. DP's family are not at all good with coping with open displays of emotion so it feels like the only way they can manage is to not mention it at all and continue as normal, which I find almost impossible to cope with. Had a long phone chat with my folks this evening which made me feel miles better - we are off to theirs tomorrow where I know I can just let it all out and be looked after, and where hopefully my parent's new puppy and my sister's baby will cheer me up a bit. DP is being wonderful - the last three months has brought us even closer together which is one positive to take away from all that has happened. The difficult thing is being in limbo - not got an appt at the hospital til Monday for a follow up scan, and I doubt they will get me in for any management the same day, which I'm finding hard to contemplate. Anyway, I don't want to bring you all down on your Xmas days, suffice to say that emotionally if not medically I am being well looked after.

Quod, hope you are being looked after by your parents, thinking of you xxx

Quod I hope you are getting looked after ŵith lots of hugs from your mum. Forced jollity when you aren't feeling like it is horrible. Take care of yourself, feel free to talk about it in here, but likewise if you're not comfortable then that's ok too. Xx

Separate post as I wanted the two things very distinct from each other x

Am on crutches for severe pelvic girdle pain, :( hoping to avoid admission, but it was very much on the cards today. But scan shows both boys now have the right amount of fluid.

LAHG great news to hear your two boys are doing well, but really sorry to hear you are so uncomfortable. Hope you are getting looked after too.

Well after half a day on the phone I have managed to book myself in for a delightfully named ERPC on Monday if scan shows what I know it will. Frustratingly medical protocol means they absolutely won't treat me before giving it a whole week, even though I am certain that things have ended and my dates definitely aren't wrong, which feels like a cruel extension of hope when I am trying to come to terms with the loss. But at least now I have an end point in sight before the new year, which is a relief.

My baby niece and my parents very sweet new puppy are also cheering me up.

Glad you are being taken care of by your family Quod. You and your DP have been on my mind a lot but it's hard to know what to say. I can only offer .

LAHG good to hear that the DT are looking good. I don't envy you the pelvic pain, not sure whether you meant you are now in hospital? Either way I'm sending some positive vibes your way!

LAHG, how are you today? Pelvis pain is horrendous must be just unbearably awful when you're carrying twins

Quod, hope you are ok my lovely. You have not been far from my thoughts over the last few days xxx

Well, DH didn't make it to my mums for post Christmas celebrations...don't go falling over in shock! To be fair, it wasn't his fault really, complicated, nasty last minute work crisis.
AF showed up mid drive to my mums on Thurs which was unexpected & a complete pain in the bum! Means that I've been a bit of an emotional, tetchy wreck over the last few days without DH to stop me losing it completely with my mother! Has taken all my willpower not to throttle her this evening, but that's a story for another day!

Had an amazing time at The Snowman with DD though, she was totally entranced and loved it! Was the perfect introduction to theatre for her & really good for her to get to go to London before her 'debut' next year!!
Also took DD ice skating today...she sat, we skated & pushed her! Going to feel it in the morning!!

Sending much love to all the lovely WIITs, here's hoping for a fabulous 2013!

Now DH has suspected Norovirus so we are stuck at my mum's!

Hi all

Just checking in to say ERPC went fine, it was honestly not the remotest bit awful, everyone was so very kind. Almost a pleasant surprise at the end of a horrible week, in a weird way.

Back home recovering now, and feel like physically at least we can begin moving on now.

Hope you are all ok.

Oh Quod (((hugs))) take it easy for a while.

AC no, I'm at home, I managed to avoid being admitted because they gave me crutches, although I'm a fat lot of use at home really, spending most of the day sat on the sofa, can't carry E any more, can't do very much now. Ah we'll, it's getting closer to the end now.

Bebe, the crutches at least mean I don't feel like crying every step I take, but it's very much not easy. I think my problem stems from my sacro-iliac joint. Sorry to hear you had post Christmas celebrations without your DP, is he still unwell? Glad you had a good time at the theatre.
