PG after MC - posifrickentivity, hand holding, and smelly gush.

[IBelieveInPink]

Thread for ladies who are freaking out panicking slightly when preggy after miscarriage.
Plenty of oldies. Newbies always welcome.

stars that sounds like good news to me, and with the wedding, the two weeks to the next scan will go really quickly. Congratulations!

I've had an eventful day - felt like crap the last few days and started throwing up yesterday whenever I coughed. Went in this morning to have my BP checked as a follow up to last week and ended up being admitted to treat dehydration and for monitoring. So today I got doppled, and put on a CTG scan - that half an hour was the calmest I've been since my last scan!! Their heartbeats were normal, so they weren't affected by my dehydration. I was discharged after about 5 hours, and seem to be a bit better - just have to try and keep some fluids down.

In other news (drumroll) I may have made some purchases. Well, not me, obviously, that would be silly but my Mum has bought two cots and mattresses in the M&P sale. They're being delivered to my parents' so I don't even have to have them in the house. So my babies will at least have somewhere to sleep!

stars that's great! So glad today went OK. And you can relax a bit...

hello bump!

stitch I am thinking of you lots today...much love to you. I know how're you're feeling as I have been in the same position. Please keep talking...huge hugs xxx

Stitch... Wishing you lots of strength to help you at this sad and uncertain time, and thinking of you lots xxx

Diet!! Well done you!! Obviously sorry you have had to be in hospital, but buying (or allowing someone else to buy!) fab :)
Are you pleased? Are you so excited you might shop some more? :)

Great news stars, pleased to hear all looks ok!

Happy wedding day!!

Anda- hope you're feeling much better now, and great news about the cots!!

Stitch - really thinking of you at the moment and wishing you strength and support at this time. Massive hugs and love x

stars fabulous news! And the doctor who scanned you sounds absolutely lovely! Now you can relax and enjoy your wedding day - yay!

morien welcome and congratulations! Great news about your early scan, I guess you saw the heartbeat at 6.3 weeks! I hope you're feeling OK and not too stressed out!

RJM17 how did your appointment go yesterday?

santa your Jordan comment made me chuckle

anda sorry you had a stressful day but glad everything is OK and you were reassured by the CTG scan! And hooray for the cots, how exciting!!

Epic post warning;

Stitch, I'm sorry your results were as feared. Holding your hand & here for you as you need it, and whatever you decide. It's so unfair you should find yourself in this position & I hope you've got some fantastic RL support & the medical bods are helpful and kind.

Late welcome & congrats to stars (well done on your perfect sac today & eek! at getting married, congrats!), Morien (how fab that you got your bfp just before fertility treatment), Pinkfizz, Jess, purple and fluff. Phew!
RJM, hope all went well at the Drs?

anda, hope you manage to keep some fluids down, glad everything was ok & hurrah for other people buying stuff!

Lucky, hope your Dopplering is reassuring.

Santa, my head hurts from nodding so much in agreement over everything you said.
MIL is one of those terribly excited people who would talk about nothing but this baby, what it will look like, where it will go to school etc and I feel like an arse telling her to STFU (in a nice way) and not talk about it to me until I'm holding the baby.

SAHM here so no need to worry about maternity leave, in awe of any woman who can work right up until EDD...I'd probably be off now, I feel so rubbish!
33+3 today and thankfully DS has been a little angel so far this week .

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!

stars that's exactly what happened to me - going by LMP I'd be over 8 weeks, but I didn't think that was likely, and an internal scan on Friday put me at about 6 weeks. (And we're about to get married too! Not quite as soon as you - 3rd Aug). And yes, Pentagon, I saw the heartbeat

stitch very sorry to hear your news. What a difficult decision to make.

Janie thank you!! Yep, now, if only guests would behave...latest from my grandmother "I'm going to go into the bearest two after the church as I want a cappuccino and your reception venue won't do them how I like, I'll try not to hold the reception up too much so you won't all be waiting long, and then when I get there we can start the reception". I kid you not . Plus, it's a tiny village church and the nearest town is in the opposite drection from the reception venue. This was said to my Mum who promptly told her to naff off. Rant over!

Anda thank you so much! Really glad to hear you're feeling a bit better after a hideous few days. Great news about the purchases too

Purple thank you! It does suck out the joy doesn't it, one fo my friends is pg for the first time and is currently 10 weeks with absolutely no symptoms, stomach flat as a board and not at all worried. I haven't said anything as I'm sure she'll be fine but if my symptoms even have a slight lull I'm panicking. Still, happy thoughts as you very rightly say. How are you doing?

Blackholes thank you! I can't wait, getting very excited now

Pentagon thanks! She was amazing, so patient and kind. I hadn't even sat down when I burst out sobbing but she made me feel so much better and said I could look at the ultrasound on the screen for as long as I want and ask as many questions as I wanted. It was a very refreshing change from the other doctors I've had.

Gary thank you!!! Sorry to hear you're feeling so rubbish, hoping that you DS stays an angel and that you feel at least a bit better soon.

Morien in that case congratulations to you too! 3rd Aug will be here in no time, do you have much left to do? Brilliant news that you saw the heartbeat

That quote from my grandmother was meant to say "nearest town" not "bearest two" oops!

Wow! I'm gobsmacked at your grandmother, stars! Eek!

Sorry forgot to say welcome to morien and congrats on your wedding!

What's SAHM really like, Santa?! It's a very real option for me. Problem is I now have a part time teaching contract (valuable!) in a school where I feel I no longer fit I always read the debates on here re: SAHM and my head tells me I'd be stupid to give up my job but... I just don't think it's what I want anymore! Anyway cost of childcare for three might make it not worth my while so decision might be made! So so difficult.

Hope you're bearing up, stitch im sure it doesn't help but I've worked in sen schools with many many children with downs- they are amazing. Not sure how I'd feel if I was in your position (haven't received the letter yet re: nt but guessing/hoping if it wasn't good news I'd know by now?!) so can only offer support and handholding xx

Just to clarify, I mean my own head in a head vs heart scenario, not my headteacher, who'd probably be pleased to see me go as it'd mean she could employ a cheaper, full time teacher instead of expensive part timer!

Blackholes yep, she is something else that's just one in along line of many episodes! Good job I just laugh about it.

hi morien sorry i totally missed your arrival to the gang. congrats on your bfp!! what amazing timing :) hope you are feeling well!!

stars that is so funny / shocking about your granny! we had plenty of eldery opinions about our wedding last year - one of my mums friends said she would be offended if we didn't ask her to make a fruit cake. er..i wanted chocolate cake love so na ah!

so i'm just back from my first class of pg yoga! was very relaxing except when i started giggling...we had so hummmmm the 5 vowels through our vajayjays ha!! cue giggles from the immature one in the corner! then tense our back passages before releasing them. thank god i didn't know anyone else there or we would have been in proper hysterics!!

Oh stitch I'm so sorry you've got extra worries now, wishing you all the best .

stars that sounds promising and such a lovely doctor too.

Welcome everyone new, sorry struggling to keep up as snatching a few minutes on phone on holiday.

janie OMG I am never going to pg yoga then, the proper kind made me giggle...!

anda hope you feel much better soon and are managing to get lots of rest. gary hope you're getting some rest too, wow you're nearly there!

I'm a sahm and have never regretted it. Finances are tight but we're getting by, and I feel very lucky to be able to spend so much time with dd. I was never very career minded though so that's a factor.

morien you're getting married too - how wonderful!

stars your grandmother sounds like a real character what a funny thing to say!

black it's difficult to know what's the best thing to do - I guess you can decide towards the end of your maternity leave depending on how you feel then.

janie - pg yoga class, how cool! Relaxing and entertaining, what more could you ask for?

Just watching "one born every minute" and there's this woman whose last baby got stuck during delivery (thankfully both baby and mum were fine - still not the best thing to watch at the moment!) and then had her new baby via CS - I got sooooooooooo emotional, sobbing and all - thankfully DH is next door and did not witness my ridiculous reaction!

stitch - I'm sorry it's not the news you wanted to hear. It's a very big decision either way, hope you are able to make it together with DP and not get pushed in any direction by anyone else. It's your family at the end of the day. Feeling for you right now.

Stars - your Granny reminds me of mine at my wedding - which was in a marquee in her garden. She kept referring to the whole thing as her party and worrying about where she would serve lunch before the service (she was 97 and wasn't really up to making tea and toast by then) got to a point two days before when she threatened to cancel the whole thing! DH shouted at her (good job she is very deaf) and I was in floods. Took my aunt giving her some very stern words to sort it all out! So glad you have good news running up to your big day though!

Welcome Morien - love your name where is it from?

Jess how are you managing? Have you started reading any Mills and boon from the hospital library yet?

Just noticed the new icon I am sucker for them!

Step away from OBEM Pentagon !!!!

You know they only show the "exciting" or noisy births. Plenty of boring in and squeeze it out quickly stories which never make the cut!

When I got to 32 weeks with DS I got obsessed reading birth stories of the "Due in" months ahead of me - they were all so different that I freaked my self out at all the different ways it could happen. Very odd to not be in control of how and when it will all happen (unless you are ELCS)

Wow I go offline for like a day and can't keep up. So epic post now.

I am so sorry you are in this predicament stitch. I hope you do what's right for you and your dp. Don't let friends/ families opinions push you one way or another as no one can really say what they would do until they are in that position. Thinking of you xxxx

Welcome to all the recent additions. I think a few of you had two mc's in a row like me. It sucks! But today we are pregnant.

Went for a swim today. Think that will be my new thing for a while. Quite enjoyed it. Just can't take the gym anymore and Zumba was tough on sat although might give that a few more goes.

Also went for a sports massage which was an epic fail. I normally go every couple of months to sort out my shoulders which are wrecked from scanning. Hadn't been since BFP but feeling the familiar pain so booked in to find woman i normally go to had left and the special chair they promised was just a little stool they expected my to crouch over on to side of bed. I looked like i was sqatting! It was ridiculous especially when I went flying back trying to get comfy. Needless to say I declined the massage. So now have to find some sort of pregnancy specialist who will prob cost a fortune ! Rant over

On a light hearted note have started playing classic fm on full blast on way to work in car to entertain my bump and help its development and all that rubbish. Think it likes it as started kicking when tango came on xxx

bod I wound DH up last night 'stressing' that we'd neglected the babies' because we hasn't bought a £99 prenatal education set. Have no idea what it does but I think you strap it to you! My poor children - potentially born in August, and no prenatal education to speak of

Anda - prenatal education? What is that then?
Clearly I have ruined DS's life as he didn't have any. We didn't do Baby Einstein or Baby Mozart either fail fail fail

Just because I don't want you to miss out this time chocolate... www.babyplus.com/ - is it bad that I look at the website, and my main objection to it (after the price and the sheer bollocks of it) is that it looks like a bum bag?!
