Feel very nervous writing this. But I'm in my bold "sod the doctor" mood. Anyone joining me?

Eyelash? (after all, I consider it to be you who got me here in the first place )

Anyone else?

Harman - thanks for that. I have now got an official date for the 3rd October. But ds1 was 11 days late and ds2 was 14 days late so I will be mid-October in any case (probably). Yes- a people carrier would be the best option but it's the money!

Fisil - hope your scan goes well tomorrow.

Luckily my back pain seems to have eased off today. It wasn't like period pain - more of an aching muscle type pain. I think I'll have to give up the high heels! This pg lark is making me paranoid - every tweak makes me panic....

scruff · 02/03/2004 12:35

Hi all seven weeks pg with first baby and very anxious. Had to take 2 wks off work as am on med and am reducing with withdrawal symptons contributing to anx. Also boss not very sym as had time off last year due to illness so going back on Mon and Terrified. Good luck all

piglit · 02/03/2004 13:10

Hi Scruff - if it's any consolation I think 7 weeks was my low point so far. I was ill all day, every day and had raging heartburn but couldn't tell anyone. I found it impossible to get out of bed in the morning (I'm usually up with the lark) and felt really awful and very anxious. Reading mumsnet has really helped me feel less alone. I have a wonderful dh and a couple of my friends who know but nothing helps as much as "speaking" to people in your position.

I am worried about telling my work too. I've only been here since beginning of Jan (pg was a surprise) and I think they are going to go mad at me. I was really worried about that for ages but as dh says "what can they do?" I've got a killer line up my sleeve for when they have a go at me for leaving so soon after starting here - "What do you want me to do about it? Get rid of it??"

Good luck for Monday.

I'm due 7th - but DS 12 days late and DD days late - however after DD was told may not be wise to have another natural birth so have to wait and see.
We too are facing the people carrier debate - going to have to do it as neither of present cars have 3 proper seat belts but I really can't be bothered - cars just don't interest me at all as long as they go!

fisil · 02/03/2004 14:41

Scan didn't go well. They could see the sac but no embryo, and they said they'd expect to see a heartbeat etc. by now. So I have another scan booked for next week (Thurs) at which they expect to find no change, in which case I'll be admitted for a D&C.

Was really gutted as it hit home. Went driving round London until I found dp. He was wonderful and we had a good cry & cuddle, and I'm going to spend p.m. with dp & ds and not at work. Then I guess it's just wait for the inevitable, and back to the drawing board!

So sorry Fisil Good idea to spend the afternoon with DP.
Thinking of you.

scruff · 02/03/2004 15:14

Piglit, It is great to talk to people in same sit, very supportive dh only married last April, but still great to realise not just me was beginning to think was going mad. Mother in law furious with boss she works in labour relations and sys pregnant woman well protected by law good luck

miffy2 · 02/03/2004 15:16

So sorry to hear this Fisil Hugs {{{{{}}}}}

eyelash · 02/03/2004 17:41

fisil - I don't know what to say except I am so so sorry for you and your family. Even though we have never met I still feel really emotional about what is happening to you - in fact currently typing through tears.

Please look after yourself and let us know how you are.

fisil · 02/03/2004 18:11

Thanks for all your messages. Luckily I didn't throw out the unused ov sticks, eyelash!

We had a long long chat this afternoon, ranging far and wide, which was a good thing to do. And I feel thoroughly loved. It is such early days that I can kind of accept it, but I am scared that when I finally lose it, then it will be painful. It's an odd feeling, knowing that it will happen in the next ten days.

Thanks again for all your messages.

So sorry to hear this Fisil. Take some time out to take care of yourself.

The exact same thing happened to me in November. Amazingly, I found out I was pregnant again 4 weeks later, not sure how that happened as I had been ttc for almost 2 years.

I am always very sad when I hear than anybody has lost a baby - and even more sad when it is somebody I feel I know. But it also helps me realise how precious my children are and it acts as a great reality check.

Fisil - I hope you get all the help you need and you will be back on here soon. If it is any consolation I never had a problem getting pregnant again.

eyelash · 03/03/2004 17:22

Obviously I meant that all children are precious not just mine!

piglit · 04/03/2004 16:38

I've just got back from my booking in appointment. Lovely, lovely midwife who was very reassuring. I feel a million times better now. Nuchal fold scan on 26 March at 12 and a bit weeks. Hope everyone is ok.
