PG after MC: Posifrickitivity thread for the batsh*t crazy

[WhatWillSantaBring]

Welcome ladies, new and old. May we all have dull and boring pregnancies. Pull up a chair, crack open a bottle of (non-alcoholic) wine and settle in for mutual handholding, fishslapping and neurosis.

Oh forester what hideous news. Loads of hugs. Hope you're being looked after my lovely xxxx

Bod - I'm so sorry about your cat. As you know I also a cat lover, and would be absolutely devastated. Was actually up all night worrying about him as he has a bum explosion all over the place (long haired cat = messy!) and he has an ongoing intestinal issue that flairs up every now and then.
I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this at the moment, must be very hard. Massive hugs for you. X

Sorry to hear about your beautiful cat bod xxx

What a sad day on this thread today, my heart goes out to each of you.

congratulations poppy

Oh Forester im so sorry to read your news. That really is shit. I hope things go ok with the op on Friday. Take care if yourself and really hope it's 3rd time lucky for you.

Saggy sorry to hear you now need to have an amnio and you've got a bit of a wait. Fx that it reveals all is fine.

Bod sorry to hear about your cat.

Omri hope you gave your aunt a good send off today. Sounds like a wonderful lady.

Poppy congrats on the good scan news!

Sounds like we've got a lot of big boobed ladies on here. I was pleased that I've moved up from an A to B cup! 18+2 and still no movements !

forester do be sure to give yourself enough time, i ended up taking nearly two weeks off after my erpc, thought i'd be ok with just a couple of days but i was kidding myself. ended up having a couple of cinema trips by myself and a facial to pass the time. and red wine. xxx

bod i'm so so sorry to hear about your big boris :( what a very handsome guy. i'm a total cat person so i totally understand how upset you must be. hope he can make friends with my old guys up there in cat heaven xx

saggy sorry you have more worries x

poppy, huge congrats to you, i hope your good news has given those waiting on scans hope.

wow what a day. group hug x

Hello Ladies I've been invited to join so I hope everyone is ok with it! If not tell me to bigger of haha!

My background- I lost my son at 23 weeks early April 2012 due to a suspected incomplete cervix, he was perfect just skinny. I then went on to have 2 early miscarriages at 5-6 weeks in August and December last year

I'm currently around 5 weeks pregnant and have my scan on 2nd October which is 3 weeks! I'm going insane!!!

I've read a few of your comments. How many weeks is everyone?

What a crappy time everyone is having ,( im so so so sorry my thoughts are with you all at this time

Hi nobody the waiting is the hardest bitisn't it? I hate not knowing! Congrats on your pregnancy... Sorry to hear if your losses tho cxx the ladies here are fab and really supported me with my loss

all the shit is coming out of the thread today. we are going to have a bloody brilliant day tomorrow and everyone should go buy a lottery ticket.

Oh saggy it must just seem like wait after endless wait to find out if everything is ok at the moment for you I'm so sorry you are being put through the mill. We're all here for you, rant away as much as you need to.

Sorry to hear about boris bodecia what a sad day.

We'll keep each other strong though, being PG after an MC is so blimmin tough.

Welcome nobodies so sorry to hear of your previous losses.

hi Nobody - good to have some more good news today (as well as Poppy) to balance out the bad. Congratulations on your BFP.

Well I came on here at lunchtime to have a moan that my laptop had been hit by a virus which as I was working from home meant I've then done no work all day. However everyone else's bad days have massively given me perspective. Have at least been productive and done a huge tidy up - which will help when I'm working to catch up o Saturday..

Saggy definitely think lottery ticket tomorrow would be a good idea

hi nobody congrats on your bpf really hope it is a smooth journey from here on in for you. So sorry for your previous losses I'm 15 weeks. only started to feel a bit more confident this week and still have some wobbly days but they are getting fewer.

Im going to be watching one hell of a lot of old b&w movies in the next 10 days!
Guilt is my emotion of choice atm. My poor DP only agreed to ttc after the mc because he wanted to make me happy. Now he has to face this.

Aww saggy don't feel guilty. You werent to know life would throw you this to deal with on top of everything you've been through. I know it's gonna feel like an age until confirmation but you're the queen of posifrickintivity, hang on in there x

Awe Saggy don't add guilt on top of how you are feeling. I'm sure DP agreed to TTC for his own reasons too and would hate it if he knew you were beating yourself up about it xxx

Bod that is rubbish news. Just because he's a cat it doesn't make it any less painful for you. I am pretty sure he will be watching over you and little one When they come into the world (and possibly heaving a sigh of relief when they are screaming!). Big hug to you xxx

Glad you found us Nobodies. So sorry you have had such a rough journey so far.
Bod - so sorry about your cat. Our cat ran away last year and I miss him so much :(
And saggy, I'm with worm! (There's a strange sentence!) your the posifrickintivity queen! In fact, if I remember rightly from the TTC thread, your the inventor!

Its easy to be positive for others. I am trying though. And it wasn't me. Possibly Santa?

oh saggy sorry you have such a worrying wait to endure. i didn't realise amnio had to be after a certain time what an arse xxx

bod so sorry about your cat xx

No, it wasn't me saggy - I can't remember who. Possibly Alyant? Such a sad day here. Hugs and or to everyone. The only posifrickitivity I can offer you saggy is that the oft quoted risk of 1:200 with amino is apparently way out of date,and its now much safer. Also try(ha ha, easier said than done) to focus on the 80% chance of it being ok. If you we're offered those odds on winning the lottery you would be out shopping for your new car already.

I may be a bit quieter in the future- looks like work has finally caught up to MN and I couldn't post on there today. I find typing on my ipad so hard / slow (I'm a touch typist) that I lurk more than post.

Here's to a better day tomorrow.

Thanks for all your lovely message guys. It's been a tough day for both us us but I know we did what was best for boris. He has had a good life. Got to have lots of fun making babies in his early years. he was a stud cat so there are lots of mini boris's in the world. And retired with us for a nice life of peace and quiet once he was done spreading his seed. Will miss him x

Rebecca and Mr Blandings builds his dream house tomorrow.
Bod {{{hug}}}

Hi everyone, I'm finally tentatively dipping a toe into a pregnancy thread !

Firstly sorry for all of your losses.
Forester it's such a heart breaking time for you,even if you try to prepare yourself for what might happen it's impossible not to hope for the best and it's difficult coming to terms with that.
Saggy I can understand your worries and it's frustrating having to wait, you just want to fast forward a few weeks! Hopefully though all will be well.
Bod sorry about your cat, animals can be part of the family and you do grieve when you lose them.

I may have met some of you already on other threads.
I found I was pregnant unexpectedly at 44 last year but sadly miscarried at 11 weeks. We have three DC already,DS 20, DD1 14 and DD2 9, but now felt we really wanted a last baby to complete our family. I had an AMH test which was low but good for someone of my age so we decided to actively ttc. I got pregnant straight away but miscarried at 6 weeks, got pregnant the next cycle but despite scans showing a heartbeat and growth at 7 and 8 weeks,we discovered at a scan at 10 weeks the baby had died the week before. We tried again for a while, then had a talk about it,DH found it stressful ttc and we thought it was unlikely to happen anyway at our ages(I'm now 45) so we gave up. I stopped temping, charting,timing and we tried just to appreciate what we've got.
However we also weren't actively preventing and I discovered I'm pregnant again!
I phoned the EPU directly and they booked me in for an early scan which was this Monday, little bean has a heartbeat and is measuring 7 weeks. I haven't even seen the GP yet, I found it so distressing getting all the appointments through for routine midwife/scan after miscarrying previously I wanted to wait as long as possible but I've booked an appointment now. I have my next scanat the EPU in 2 weeks and in the meantime am trying not to worry or obsess about it(who am I kidding!)
We're just hoping and praying this little one will make it!

Congrats and welcome, Irish!

Sorry about boris, bod. sounds like you gave him a good life (what male would not enjoy being a stud?!) hugs

Sorry about your wait, saggy. hopefully everything will be alright on the night.

So much shite news! Is it a lottery rollover on friday?!
