PG after MC, the new and shiny POSIFRICKINTIVITY thread...

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

Oops! I posted the last post and didn't link to a new thread! Sorry!
Anyway, here it is, come on in for the best support going and a safe place to vent. and a lovely squishy new set of twins

ooh nurseries. We are having yellow, grey and white. with a bit of an elephant theme.
We have finally painted it in yellow and going to get some grey elephant wall stickers from not on the high street. The furniture's all white.
Pink agree with you that grey and white (and yellow) is difficult especially if you want plain stuff and no weird theme. I am searching high and low for some plain grey and white striped curtains and cant find anything. Thinking of buying some material now and getting mum to make and getting a proper fitted blackout blind.
Seen a rather expensive elephant night light which DH wont let me buy. Might work on him!
I really don't like most of the themes on nursery stuff. Problem is I got inspired by lots of grey and yellow nursery photos which turned out to be american - they seem to have a lot more nice stuff over there :-(

Anda hope you are OK and glad you are being looked after.

PS I had pate early on in pregnancy at a buffet. Just didnt think. Also eat runny yolks, feta, hallumi. live yoghurt and the odd slurp of wine.

Live yoghurt? Is that a forbidden food?

Bump- my DD did the same! Dp was dead impressed at her range

Ps we also had lovely yellow walls!

bod - ikea have some lovely fabrics and they aren't tooooo pricey - ikea there's one but maybe not the right stripe

omri good luck at the hen tonight - i was at a hen when i was about 5 weeks pg, managed to survive on soda water and lime - i said i didn't want to do rounds as i wasn't drinking much due to an upset tummy - it worked :)

and i thought feta was fine? i've had loads?!

I'm sure feta is fine if it's pasteurised? I only eat it if it says so on the pack... Also asked the staff in nandos to check if the feta on their med salad was pasteurised!

Omri- good luck for tonight!! Sounds like janie has a good plan!

Hello all, back from the hospital. Back again on Monday now. BP still high but no protein so that's good. Hopefully by Monday the BP medication will have started to work. Have been told to call tomorrow if I feel unwell or don't feel movement.

It was all a bit fraught there - a bbc camera crew were filming a woman labouring so all the midwives were a bit stressed - felt really sorry for them.

Loving the interior decorating. We've got the Timbuktales range from
Mamas and Papas -

OMG Janie that is perfect. Didnt know ikea did materials. Thanks for the tip.

MAybe live yoghurt isnt banned. Just onbe person said that to me. Anyways been munching on it every day!

Slightly confused about the way it is sold though olnly three pieces left at my local store but no eplanation of the size of them!

Anda glad they're looking after you well x

Bod anytime I've bought material there you just ask for a length and they'll cut it for you then they weigh it to price it I think! Simples! They might have 3 big spools (?) of it. Maybe worth giving them a call first if its far away from you x

Glad you're ok Anda!

anda really thinking of you and your babies, great that try are monitoring you so closely.

All this nursery talk sounds fun. Not sure what we're going to do about nursery as we'd always agreed DCs could share so that we keep much needed and used spare room. But now I'm actually pg Inreally want a nursery! DS's nursery was gorgeous in our old house, it was painted a Blu/greeny grey with white painted floorboards and white furniture. And big fluffy sheepskin. Anyway I can let myself think that far ahead with this one.

Still feeling horrific - so, so nauseous and slept for 3 hours this afternoon. Thinking of heading back there soon. I have made it out of the house today though which is a bit of a real trough. I just feel so so weak and pathetic.

Also found out today that a friend is expecting with the same due date as me, bizarre hey. But of course all I can think is that she will have a beautiful baby at the end of it and I won't. Talk about negative thinking. I told DH that and he just looke so despairing. It must be pretty hard to be around me at the moment!

Oh have also been thinking maybe it's twins - surely I can't feel this bad with just one baby in there!

Definitely a girl!

I do kind of hope so, without sounding spoilt or selfish- obv would love another lovely boy but one of each would be perfect!

jmf I've just remembered you said you were starting an MBA. Who's it through? I graduated in October last year and absolutely loved it when I settled in to it. I have loads of books I bought that I'll probably never open again if you have a reading list?

I'm hoping for a girl too. I have a name, it feels like she is who is missing! IYSWIM!

Andadietcoke - it's through Uni of Herts, my local uni. I'm having a bit of a wobble about doing it as I have childcare problems due to the aupair leaving, and not sure how I can manage everything as already exhausted!! Please tell me I can manage it.

About to open the crumbly fudge- sod the indigestion and weight gain.

anda glad you're being looked after so well and, most importantly, everything is fine!

piffy congratulations on your good scan! I understand the hesitation to get excited.... I was like that during my first (successful) pregnancy (after a MMC). I didn't announce it till I was 20 weeks (didn't announce it at all on FB, only after I had the baby) and even then when people congratulated me, I was like "well, things can still go wrong at any time". Thankfully, everything went well and this time it's a bit easier to be optimistic (despite having had a second MMC before the current pregnancy). Maybe you'll start feeling more positive after the 20-week scan and once you can feel the baby move

sleep you shouldn't be thinking this way but I'd probably be the same...fingers crossed for successful pregnancies for both you and your friend!

pink your nursery sounds lovely, I'm tempted to redecorate ours! But we're having a loft conversion done at the moment so there's enough to do as it is!

omri enjoy the hen do!

Been through decorating hell this evening! We bought a new light for the nursery, which required a new light fitting to be wired in. DH thought he would give it a go bless him, managed to blow the fuse, blow the light switch, have the hallway lights flickering and the bathroom light switch controlling the bedroom light! One massive stress later, I managed to figure it out and fix it! So smug right now, and considering a career change to electrician. :) could have done without it though!!

Diet - so pleased all is good, mid electrical crisis I was wondering how you were!

Thanks for all the comments on the nursery :) we are really enjoying doing it! (electrics aside!)

Bod - if you are having elephant theme, have you seen the white and grey elephant grow bags in John Lewis? We got one as it matches, SO cute.

Hello! I've been up since 4am and given up on sleep now so have read the thread and reassured (though sad) to see that everyone feels like me i.e terrified of another mc.

I had an early mc just short of six weeks in June. I am now four weeks pg - only got my BFP a few days ago and I just can't get excited as I'm so afraid of it happening again. I am lucky enough to already have a little boy (2.5) and had first-timer nerves all through that pregnancy so was really hoping to relax and enjoy this one!

I discovered the last mc was coming by taking another pg test which was negative - after a dream that I was having a mc and a niggling sense that I just didn't feel pg anymore. So this time I am testing every day and just ordered another twenty tests which I know is stupid and meaningless anyway as I know many people get a positive even after mc so it's pointless! Am just a nervous miserable wreck!

Ibip well done on the light! That smug feeling when you figure something 'DIY' out when DO can't us great!
Anda glad you're back home and they are keeping an eye on you.
Jelly - I think so far you're acting pretty normal. I did at least 10 tests this time round. Which I knew was stupid coz last time I was still getting strong positives after the MC for a few weeks. But just seeing that line get darker was enough to get through the first few weeks.
Random non pregnancy related moan - iv done something to my knee and its hurting so bad I knelt down to read DDs bedtime story last night, and something moved of clicked or something, was like a hurt so bad I might vomit. Now it seems to click in and out depending what position my leg is in.

jelly- I've only started to relax a little since having the 20 week scan. Had an early scan at 8 weeks, which made me feel a bit better. Then 12 week scan- again a bit better. Then was utterly convinced there'd be something wrong at 20 weeks. ThNk god all looks ok so now I'm starting to think we might will actually have a new baby in December. All perfectly normal feelings. Congrats on the bfp and fingers crossed it sticks!

Christine- ouch- have you got an out of hours doc near you? Could you have dislocated something? Sounds horrible.

In other news I have had the best nights sleep in MONTHS and feel amazing for it! Was feeling seriously ropey last week.

Welcome jelly and congrats on your BFP! Only natural to worry after what happened last time, but just because it happened last time does not mean it will happen again! In fact it's more likely to be successful than not. Like you I tested loads in the beginning, moving from HPTs to beta hcg bloods and now, it seems to scans! Nothing seems to reassure me for more than a day or two, but I'm pretty sure that will change if when things progress as they should. A positive scan at 9 weeks helped. This thread is a very good source of support.

Poor you christine - sounds like you need to see the GP!

Welcome jelly congratulations

christine hope you get checked out soon, sounds painful x

blackholes same here think i won't relax until my anomanly scan this fri!

Anda Glad all is well, hope you are being well looked after x

20 weeks today, feels like a real milestone, halfway!!! Never did i think i would get this far, my panicking i hope is nearly almost over as i have my anomonaly this fri eeek!
Baby is moving like a trooper now, movements are helping me feel less anxious.
