Due in October 2012 Part 2

[YompingJo]

Kicking off the second thread as we outgrew the first one.

Oh bubble that's terrible. If you were in the states, that would scream lawsuit!

On the food front, I have also been eating veggies galore. Tonights meal is pineapple stir fry with celery baby tomatoes, celery, carrots red pepper, cauliflour, and broccoli...then probably chocolate for desert :)

Sassee- I can't even imagine what you are going through right now. Lots of warm hugs sent your way and we hope to see you back soon

26 hours tll my scan & bleeding quite heavily. Spoken to Gyne ward, NHS Direct, emergency dr etc & they realy don't want to know. I'm not in great amounts of pain & not really passing any clots.
Personally I feel like I'm having a late period!
Soon find out tomorrow!

Oh fairygodmother I'm sorry. Keep positive. Try ur own gp when they open and ask them to refer u to epu. I will be thinking of u x

That is the earliest the EPU can see me! Just gonna have to wait it out!

Oh that's ashame fairy do u have much pain?

Good morning everyone!

bubble thats such a sad story, it really made my heart sink I get very sad when people are treated badly in the NHS, because I work for them too and always pride myself on giving the best possible service so it makes me that these sorts of things can happen.

fairygodmother I hope your ok xx

sassee thinking of you and all of those who have lost.

As for me, I'm pooped! I've just finished 2 12hr shifts with Dd waking me at night because she doesn't feel well so I'm a bit sleep deprived and will definately try for a nap today if I can! I still feel nauseous at random times, completely gone off alcohol ( I like a regular glass of wine!) and had a tiny bit of brown spotting yesterday.

I have my booking in app on Tuesday next week and just so happens I have a renal US that day for a previous issue so will ask if they can see a sticky bean! Well they may not look though

I had a dream last night that I gave birth to a boy and was trying to breast feed it was a good dream!

I have really waffled now! Sorry everyone!

Morning all,

So sorry to hear so many people are anxious or have already m/c. I have actually lost count of how many times I have m/c so when I say I feel for you I really do.

sassee WE haven't chatted before but I really feel for you. I have taken different approaches with mine but all I can say was that for my one successful pregnancy (out of about 9 - I kid you not) I got pregnant immediatly after a m/c. Other times I have been too scared to have sex for a bit (after my suspected ectopic I was rushed to resus and this kind of puts a girl off getting knocked up again). Or I have just felt too fragile. I dust myself, pick myself up and start all over again in the end,. It just takes different amounts of time. So don't feel rushed and do what is in your heart not your head.

Fairygodmother I hope things turn out ok for you.

Bubble that is a shocking story. Totally outrageous. Words fail me. I can't imagine how sad and enraged you must have been all at the same time. At least none of mine were nobodys fault.

Well I am still trying to be positive which is getting harder. terrified of having a repeat of my last flashing blue light incident. Consious that a m/c is highly likely with my history but still strangely clinging on to a shred of positivity. A bizarre mix. Manged to nap every day this week so far which is a result as I feel I really need it. Wanting to throw up as that always reassures me that the pregnancy is a fighter. Really wanting to eat crap which reassures me a bit. Surprised my DD wasn't born looking like a skittle, I ate that many. I am 40 and I have one DD.

It is a precarious business for some of us this pregnancy malarky and for all you struggling right now I wish you all the luck in the world.

Is it wrong to have a nap now (I've been up at least an hour?)

Have a nap! If you can then do it! My daughter is running around shouting me all the time so no chance for me!!!

marvellousmarie I like your thinking.

Bubble, I couldn't fully get my head around your story (am I being thick? Didn't understand the bowel bit or what the original mistake was, but i don't want to force you to tell that horrid story again). Even so, your experience outraged me. I wish you every happiness and success xx

Fairy. Outraged again. I cannot believe you have to suffer heavy bleeding even for an hour before being offered a reassuring scan. What the hell are you supposed to do with yourself for days? Sorry, I'm not being much help, am I? Please take courage from the lady on here whose sister/cousin bled all the way through her pregnancy and had a healthy baby: it does happen xx

Midgetm, you deserve every happiness and success with this pregnancy. What a brave lady xx

Lol sorry miss was my explanation.
They told me my baby was dead and attached to my bowl instead of being in my womb. This was not true the sonographer had made a mistake and the surgery I under went to find my baby caused me to miscarry the baby that I was pregnant with. (I was only 5 wks and it was too small to see on the scan)

I'm in quite a bit of pain now! A friend suggested doing another test but I'm far too scared! I want it over with if it's all gone wrong & start again. Been 4 years of trying but beginning to think that maybe I've miscarried before when I've had very similar 'periods' before. Not long now till a scan!!!

How are you feeling missbone ? are you doing your jigsaw?

I need to feel more active! I've just watched homes under the hammer and really need to get showered and dressed so I can entertain my daughter but I just want to go to sleep! My poor girl. I feel sick too... Do any other mummies feel like me or am I a bad mum?

On the plus side I found all my maternity clothes and it was like I'd been shopping and come home with lots of new things!

fgm I really do hope it's trapped wind or something flowers and hugs xxx

Missbone how do I give flowers? I thought I could work it out but I obviously didn't

Oh, Bubble! I suspected this was what happened, and I can't believe how brave you are. Much prayer going up for you x

Fairy, I'm praying for you, too. I simply do not know what to say to raise your spirits, but one thing's for sure...we are all with you in spirit xx

Marie! You're nearly as thick as me, poor lamb! To send you type in 'thanks' inside the square brackets.

Well, DP and I have just made love and I very nearly let him put his willy all the way in I was so, so tempted - and very worked up! - but I screamed "No!" at the last minute. I know penetrative sex doesn't harm the embryo but until my 12 wk scan I'm just not comfortable with the idea that it may result in brown spotting etc. Please don't laugh, I know I'm paranoid.
The good news is all breast tenderness has gone so a nice, juicy tit-wank was today's special! Hurrah!

No, Marie! I haven't started my jigsaw yet but I intend to give it a whirl this afternoon whilst DP is out doing voluntary work building a greenhouse for a nursery (in this weather! Poor sod) and whilst the cat's asleep.
P.s...you sound like a perfectly normal pregnant (tired) mum to me. Stop beating yourself up, lovely xx

Thanks! I did get some revenge from my Dd who decided to draw over her bed head in black (apparently wipeable felt-tip)!! I was not impressed but didn't have the energy or the heart to be cross so I just told her off very mildly hope she doesn't do it again!

I'm off for a bath! Kerry get over this sex nonsense it's perfectly fine to have it, me and DH have it regularly- a bit like rabbits, I would rather that than a titwank! I'm not sure I would cope with the mess being a little OCD!!! I also have still not brought myself to make him the happiest man in the world with a blowjob, I'm still worried about being sick on him!!! I suppose I need to get over that! !!

Yey I did it!

Hi everyone, i just joinned mumsnet. I am due at the begining of Oct and am now nearly 7 weeks pregnant. I am feeling very isolated and alone at the moment. I am so tried and feel sick and have headaches every afternoon through the whole evening. I am the first to have a child out of my freindship group and i havent been able to tell anyone yet. I was hoping for some support on here. i have no idea if i am feeling normal and wish i had someone who was also pregnant to talk to. is it ok to feel so low :(

Hi ChrissieJa - of course come and join in!

I'm five weeks and feeling very low too. I'm told it's very normal, possibly hormonal and it's such a huge, massive thing, it's hard not to feel overwhelmed!

But I have been assured and reassured by many lovely people on this forum that it's OK, it's normal, and everything will be just fine :)

Hang in there - it's hard to feel excited when you just feel apprehensive. But there's a lot of support here so keep posting away and join in with us :)

And many congratulations on your pregnancy!

Thanks Bettybat, thats very encouraging.
I am trying to feel excited but it is hard when you feel ill all the time.
Its nice to see people on here with a sense of humour as well. The titwank comments made me laugh. :)
I am considering just telling my friends. Its a bit early but i could do with the support. What would everyone advise?

OMG I am starving but there is nothing in my fridge I want to eat :'(

Hi all, a new person to this thread here too. I had a m/c last November at 6 weeks, although I didn't find out til 12 weeks. I'm finally pregnant again! Really really worried though, i'm trying not to get excited.
They promised me an early scan next time round (7weeks), but the trouble is I can't get a booking in appointment with the midwife for another month, when I'll be 9 weeks. Has anyone got any advice on what to do?

Chrissie - I wish I'd told my friends earlier last time round, I'd have got much more support instead of people finding out in dribs and drabs and then them not knowing what to say. If you're feeling low I think it would help to have some people around you to gee you up :)

hello everyone and big hugs to all who need them - it's shit that pregnancy can be so joyful and so sad and so frightening and so awe inspiring and so lonely and so every other emotion you can describe...what's even worse I guess is the mood swings, don't know about anyone else but I can make my way through all of the above feelings in about ten minutes on any given day. Add this to the exhaustion and constipation and you've got a recipe for one seriously highly strung lady...On the plus side we've all got each other to go through the ups and downs with, and I personally take great comfort from reading up on everyone's goings (esp. of the toilet variety) and comings (yes that means your DPs missbone and marvellousmarie) So welcome to the new folks ChrissieJA and trilottie, lots of sympathy and positive vibes to anyone suffering especially fairygodmother and sassee and fingers crossed that the nice satisfying poo I did at work today won't be the only one I do for the next six days...

Welcome to all newbies! chrissy I know how you feel and I havnt told some of my friends and family for various reasons but then you feel like no one will understand you if they don't know your pregnant. The best advice I could give is that it's ok to feel like shit, and it helps to have a cry. I hope this thread can support you by making you laugh and think positively xxx

mirikat the other day I did the most huge constipated periscope poo at a very public pub and to my horror there was no loo roll! Ahhhhhh I ran to the next cubicle, no one came in thankfully or they would have seen a large bottom shuffling about but again to my more intense horror- no loo roll! So I went to the final cubicle, still with no one coming in (phew) and thank the lord there was a few sheets left! I think about that and laugh to myself at would have happened if someone saw me!

Angelico how are you if your reading?
