Welcoming all those pregnant after miscarriage who need hand-holding, a place to moan, share happy news or just lurk.

It will happen for us this time.

Knitter - did you put the frozen muffins in the oven to defrost and warm them up? I love this idea - must make some extra room in our freezer so I can get baking! I'm thinking cookie dough might work too .. x

KnitterNotTwitter · 06/05/2012 18:31

funchum yes - just pop them in the oven on a medium heat and poke occasionally so you whip them out at just the right moment!

I was inspired by myself (!) and made a batch of blueberry muffins this morning - just popped the into the freezer much to DH's horror - he was hoping he'd get to eat them!!

Evening ladies

Does the freak out room still exist? I may be needing them Confused

AmandinePoulain · 08/05/2012 22:23

daisy Grin!!!!

More pushchairs needed then?!

mousebacon · 09/05/2012 03:05

Oh my god Daisy! That's amazing! Go you Grin Grin

Daisybell1 · 09/05/2012 08:19

Sorry, should have posted more clearly - am on the 2WW after doing something stupid at a crucial time and am frantically symptom spotting Confused

AmandinePoulain · 09/05/2012 09:51

When are you testing? How exciting! Grin

I've just got off the phone with a spectacularly arsey receptionist. She was a stroppy madam because I dared to want to change an appointment with an anaesthetist. Is my whole life meant to revolve around being pregnant?!

Hope everyone else is well x

KnitterNotTwitter · 09/05/2012 10:44

oopsa daisy - sorry couldn't resist :) but quite exciting really...

Freak out room does still exist - I think I linked to it recently for MrsSpear... yep link is still there if you scroll up a bit.

no news here - still two weeks until due date... I finish work this Friday which will be lovely - then I will be justified in doing no work and generally hanging round the house sorting stuff!

Have no idea re testing - about 10 days time I think

Hello to everyone else, lovely to see you rising up the list Smile

Moominsummermadness · 13/05/2012 08:59

Hello ladies, hope everyone's well. i had a baby product splurge yesterday, as babies r us have got 20% off- you have to go on their website and print off a voucher or you can purchase online. It ends today but is worth a look!

mousebacon · 16/05/2012 03:52

Morning all Smile

I'm wide awake again for no apparent reason so thought I'd say hello!

Can't quite believe it's my last week at work! I finish on Friday and am practically counting the hours. My ankles are starting to swell at the end of the day now and I'm definitely more tired. Bring on mat leave!

I'd do the list but I'm on my phone and that would only lead to disaster! Any news from the top I wonder?

KnitterNotTwitter · 16/05/2012 12:37

Hey mouse - glad all still going well. I started my mat leave last week... tis lovely!

No news from me - although I'm definitely getting to the point where I quite fancy giving birth.... bored of being pg now!

Hello everyone, thinking of you all. I did see on another thread on breast feeding that Googie had her baby!

mousebacon · 17/05/2012 18:06

That's great news, hope it all went well googie Smile

abbypumpkin · 18/05/2012 01:18

My dd2 is due 28th July after 2mc in may and October. dd1 was also conceived after mc so We're both unlucky and lucky!

KnitterNotTwitter · 18/05/2012 21:38

Welcome abby lovely to have you over here - this is a pretty quiet board these days... unless someone has a wobble/problem... when you'll find that we leap into action and hand-hold with the best of 'em. Fingers crossed you've had a quiet pregnancy so far and for continuing lack of excitement and easy birth! I've added you to the stats - obv. shout/delete yourself if that was over presumptuous of me.

Welcome and congratulations abby

How does it feel to be a lady of leisure mouse? Grin

Welcome back daisy, when will you be starting your double buggy obsession research?! GrinGrinGrin

Not much news from me, I'm sick of being woken up by heartburn though, I'm swigging gavisvon like it's going out of fashion. I'm seeing a counselling mw on Monday to discuss my previous birth trauma, I hope it's not going to turn into a vain attempt to convince me to try for a vbac.

Moominsummermadness · 19/05/2012 09:01

Congratulations to Googie!

Welcome to the thread, Abby. And Welcome back, Daisy!

Not much to report from the Moomin house- SPD has kicked in this week, I've been almost in tears on my 25 minute walk to work. DH has had to start giving me a lift in, which is a bit of a pain for him, as it's the opposite direction to the school-run route. Even sitting at my desk for 8 hours a day makes my pelvis hurt. I've got a new chair on order at work, and I'll tell the midwife about it at my appointment on the 28th. It's made me re-think my maternity leave though, and I've decided that I'm going to finish work at 33 weeks (3 weeks annual leave, then mat leave from 36 weeks). It's a lot earlier than I'd originally planned, but I don't think that I can stick working much longer than that. I'm realising that it's not easy being pregnant with DD4 whilst working full-time, doing most of the housework, having 3 DCs to look after when I get home, etc etc etc!

Hello to everyone else.

mousebacon · 19/05/2012 19:19

Bloody marvellous amandine -you need to get yourself some ranitidine; it stopped my horrific heartburn in it's tracks.

Right, going to make a 'batch cooking' shopping list for my first week of FREEDOM!!

KnitterNotTwitter · 19/05/2012 21:31

Caroline Elizabeth arrived at high speed at 4.10 this morning, weighing in at 10lbs3oz. First contractions at 3, waters went at 3.20. Dash to hospital with contractions every 3 mins. Got to the ward and they checked me - 9cm. Next contraction she crowned, next one head out, next one she was out. No pain relief obv. Baby gorgeous. Mum and dad still in shock.

AmandinePoulain · 19/05/2012 21:49

Huge congratulations knitter Grin, what lovely news and your labour sounds great, although shocking! Grin

mouse I'm tempted to ask for ranitidine, I suffered through last time but don't fancy another 14 weeks of it!

LAF77 · 20/05/2012 09:49

Congrats knitter what a labour!
