Due in October 2012 Part 2

[YompingJo]

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

marvellousmarie sorry you are worried honey. As you say only time can tell but it doesn't sound too serious to me. Blood on straining is quite normal I think, as is a bit after sex. Because of my history my poor DH is too scared to have sex first trimester. Makes the weeks drag even more. Try to relax and don't let it stop you posting on here! Take care and try not to worry too much. hugs.

Milk I probably won't add myself to list yet, partly because the feckers moved my consultant appt date back yesterday until 15.5 weeks! I was bloody raging! Phoned maternity ward and they were lovely said I could book a scan before then any time but they are going to try and bring it forward, maybe move me to different consultant. Mine was going on holiday And of course he's allowed to go on holiday but I just thought they might get a bit of cover in. I'm a couple of months off turning 35, 1st pregnancy - on what planet can they not be seeing me till 15.5 weeks?! Scan lady was horrified.

Mickey welcome and congrats! :) On heartburn front do whatever you feel comfortable with but don't feel you need to be a hero. Gaviscon etc are perfectly safe and in fact that What to Expect Bible book says antacids give you a bonus calcium dose :)

Midget sympathy on the giant bloated belly front x

Marie please don't worry, that really sounds more like something with your cervix, based on things I've read on this board and others. Only a doc / midwife is going to put your mind at rest though so why don't you call your midwife? They might tell you to lay off the nookie for a while but I'm sure you'll think of substitutes! :o xo

Morning everyone.

Two Little Monkeys thinking of you. I know I don't have any words that will make it better, but we are all sending you positive vibes and I have everything crossed that we see you on here soon with some good news

Marie Agree with Angelico that the bleeding you have sounds ok, maybe just take things a little easy over the next couple days

Midget my DH is like yours - haven't had sex for weeks - both he and I are too worried to in the first trimester given my past history...

Well I've had a rubbish morning so far. Had to get up early to take DH to the airport - he's away in Houston for 10 days with work and I'm really worried because it always seems to be when he's away that bad stuff happens. He was away when I had my last miscarriage and he was away when I had bleeding earlier in this pregnancy. Can't get it out of my head that something bad is going to happen while he's away.
So was already feeling pretty crap about that, and then just before we had to go I got my first actual being sick morning sickness.
Managed to get out the door and get him to the airport (and just about hold things together when we said good bye) and then on the way back home I accidentally ran over a squirrel. Well that was the final straw and I bawled my eyes out the rest of the way home. For some reason I got it in my head that the poor squirrel might have had babies that were waiting for their mum to come home...:(

And speaking of waterworks...my bladder has gone into overdrive, it was already bad, but I was up 8 times last night and this morning I'm going every half an hour!

In good news I was so fed up with the incessant itching last night that I downloaded a hypnosis thing to stop me itching, and for last night at least it seemed to work!

Anyway, need to go and pull myself together.
Have a good day everyone xxx

haggis I know what you mean about being a bit superstitious about your OH bring away. I'm exactly the same. I was worried about coming to my MIL for the exact same reason. However being sick is a very good sign. The force is strong with your bean x

Thanks midget and angelico, I'll try them all! At least I like bananas. marvellousmarie I had exactly the same last night, it seems to have stopped now though. Try not to worry too much! Although I am scared to have sex again.. DH won't be impressed.. Oh well. i think he's done enough!
I also need to pull myself together, I seem to be in tears at everything.
You have a better day too Haggisneepstatties
xx

Thanks midget and mickey
Yes - I'm hoping that the sudden increase in symptoms is a good thing

Thank you everyone for your advice! I do feel better about it now. Taking it easy just aint my thing! I have 3 night shifts starting tonight! Boooo! However, the weather is so crap today I have climbed back into bed I need a dose if 'do nothing' medicine!!!

Hope everyone has a good day. Thinking of those ladies that feel worried like me! It's just in my nature being a Virgo!

Haggis, the day you described, ending with that poor squirrel, I was laughing in sympathy.

And as for the bloating, I thought I was showing early, and then had two days free of constipation and I went back to my original size. I'm back to the constipation now and no longer look at my belly in an admiring way!!!

Wriggle I think mine is the same so downed a fybrogel today. Have my job interview early this week and sporting the recently duffed up look is not what they will be looking for in a candidate.

Good luck with your job interview! Hope you can find some clothes that are comfortable and hide the ... um ... "bump".

And just re-read the thread, feeling very embarrassed at my insensitivity with after 2LM's news. I was going to delete it but think an apology will go further. Now, how do you get those damned smiley faces to work?!!!

I'm still in bed, watching it snow, eating an apple! Dd running around because it's snowing and DH giving me plenty of cuddles in bed very happy! I NEVER get days like this!

I'm so windy too! It's not pleasant but it is a relief! Here's to all the ladies feeling windy and bloated! How lucky our husbands are!!!

Lol Marie,i know exactly what u mean with the windypops I'm sooo bloated I feel like I'm going to go bang!!!!
On the plus side I havent been sick so far as I have rediscovered the miracle that is the sickness band!!! However I'm not keen on the idea of taking them off for too long incase it all comes gushing back!! (excuse the pun!)

Hope all u lovely ladies have a well earned restful Sunday :-) my other half is off to watch the footy for his birthday so at least I can sleep on sofa all afternoon!!!

I know what you mean with the windypops too, finally I can give DH some competition!!
Deary me the crying's started again. Better dig in to this large box of Lindor DH has just bought me and continue my hibernation from the snow outside :) Hope everyone's day is going well. xo

I've had the tears engulf me today too,it makes u feel like ur going round the twist!! I think I may just have to have a second piece of cake lol
Is anyone else having bouts of irrationality?! I have just arrived home after popping out for 10 mins to find a British gas van plonked outside my house & the inconsiderable bar steward has blocked my drive!!! I am about to unleash the beast!!!!!

Well, have had the in-laws here for the weekend. Have found it horrendous making excuses for not drinking (although had 2 small glasses of wine yesterday was it was MILs birthday) - have supposedly had dodgy stomach/migraine on and off all weekend (not too much of a lie - head has been pounding). Worst bit though was feeling so uncomfortable in terms of not being able to keep my tummy sucked in but couldn't really let it hang out! When we were out and about in town yesterday I had my coat zipped right up with my hands in my pockets so I could puff my coat out enough to walk around with a relaxed tummy!!

Also sending lots of hugs to twolittlemonkeys and mrsclairemarie - can't imagine what you must be going through x

2LM i can't tell you how sorry I am. You have been incredibly brave, I don't know how you made it through work.

kyria that sounds dreadful! I am turning into a recluse because I hate the idea of making up lies and worrying if people suspect anything.

I have had horrid gripey pains and a dodgy tummy today, but am desperately hoping that it isn't pg related :-(

Hello girlies, thank you so much for all your support. Well the last 24 hours have been a hell of a rollercoaster. DS1's party was a bit of a nightmare, kept my brave face on. Pain seemed to subside so I went to work but started bleeding so heavily and getting lots of pain. Everything exactly like my last miscarriage. Couldn't sleep or even speak through it so ended up getting a taxi to hospital at midnight. A few hours in A&E/majors, but unlike last time they didn't give me any pain relief :( then transferred to the gynae ward. Was looked after by a wonderful nurse who did all the horrible internals (ouch!) and gave me a scan which showed that despite very heavy bleeding, there is still a little heart beating, but the scan only puts me at 6+6, not 8+3 as my calculations would make - not sure how that works . I suspect the embryo is not developing properly and I will go on to miscarry. Anyway, I need a more detailed scan - she just used one of the portable machines which isn't as clear as the proper ones they use. Have had more heavy bleeding since I came home, including some clots so I'm not holding out much hope for Thursday, but still have an appointment then to see what's what.

(((twolittlemonkeys))) thinking of you. Well done you for surviving DS1's party, that must've been hellish.

BTW someone's going to need to start a new thread - we're bursting at the seams here!

Jesus, twolittlemonkeys. This sounds awful. Whatever happens, make sure and stay on the thread, ok? We're all rooting for you.

Dame I just have....here it is...
