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.

....plan in place

kjh sorry you had a stressful wkend but glad all looked good at the scan yesterday!

kat hope your scan went well today.

nobodies good luck for tomorrow and hopefully you see an heartbeat but if it's too early don't worry.

Welcome sazza and jojo! Congrats on your bfps!

pink glad normal movement has resumed. Great size and weight already! Hopefully you'll go into labour before or on your due date and don't have to worry about pushing for an induction. Hopefully baby gets into position too so you can avoid a c section.

fod sorry youve had a bad day at work.

Thanks to those that responded to my concerns on lack of first flutters/ movements at 19 wks. I think I actually had some flutters last night so feeling much more positive now! X

Congrats Kat xxx

Thanks leis yayyyy kat

Thanks liesl and pixie

Yay kat awesome news!!!!! Xx

Yay kat! Good news.

Nice one Kat! Brill news!

Pink I can't stop thinking about your cousins 11 pounder! Her poor fanjita!

Yey kat :-)

Had a right wobble earlier...has resulted in me booking a private scan for 8 weeks. Think it's because I'm coming up to the time of MC last time. Tried to take a nap pre night shift earlier and all I could think about was before, the screens, no hb etc. once the panic sets in its all consuming isn't it?!

It certainly is tomkat I felt much better knowing I could have a scan

Yay kat

leisl I didn't feel movements till 19+ weeks this time, and even then only flutters. I felt DC1 at 17 weeks so I wouldn't be too scared (ha ha ha... Not possible, I know!)

fod that's outrageous. If you're feeling strong and feisty I would take your boss aside and point out that you do not appreciate being bawled out in front of your colleagues, as it very unprofessional.

I've just taken on a bully at work- she's not bullied me but has been vile to my colleague and I'm sick of it. I hate bullies with a passion - there is no excuse, especially in a workplace. If I became a senior manager I would have a zero tolerance approach and make it a stackable offence.

pink my last MW had a theory that size didn't affect delivery- it is all to do with position. She says she's seen women struggle with six pounders (me!) and women push 10 pounders out with nary a graze.

All this talk about big babies is making me feel a bit queasy. I still don't quite understand how even a small one is going to come out - decided to watch OBEM while home sick last week and it freaked me out massively. Am completely terrified of giving birth!

Just told my boss I'm pregnant and burst into tears. He was very nice about it but I feel like a frigging lunatic - why oh why did I start bawling?! he's promised to keep quiet until the 12 wk scan and says I can have as many sick days as I need.

Wow how do you all keep up with this thread?! We're such a busy bunch it's great!

On movements I'm only 15 wks and felt definite flutters a few days in a row last week. Nothing today or yesterday so of course worrying now even though I know it was reeeallly early to feel anything at all.

So the edd of my mmc is tmrw. Dp is away. Did any of you do anything to mark Your edds? I'll be in work stressed all day and its lashing rain here so options are limited...

I've been hiding away a bit trying not to think so sorry if I haven't caught up properly on everyone's news

pink glad things are getting back to normal but it's making my eyes water at the thought of an 11lb arrival!

fod that's typical you somehow ending up in bother but then to do it in front of all your colleagues

kat I'm so pleased your scan went well

rock I haven't felt anything yet but didn't expect to yet either I suppose. But it would be nice! Just got a Doppler today but sort of to worried to use it!

Welcome to all the newbies!

I have been trying not to think but I didn't sleep last night and don't think I will tonight to be honest. I have the amnio tomorrow afternoon and basically I'm scared. Tomorrow morning will go on forever I'm sure

Hope everyone is well xxxx

OMG Katatonic I also had harmony test today at FMC - DH and I were the last seen of the day - left after 6:30! May have been waiting at the same time - we were 5:30 too but had not recieved forms so it took a litttle while. The world is very small.

So pleased you had good news - we did too, baby was moving lots and she spent quite a long time scanning before going back out for blood test. Apparantly everything looks fine at this stage (10+6). Very relieved indeed as I had some bleeding around 10 days ago. We are going back for the results and full nuchal scan in 2 weeks time, nervous but v reassured. Only shocker was my weight - all the ginger biscuits, cheese cravings have taken a toll!

KJh I have just read through and seen your weekend posts - so glad everything is okay for you.

Totalshock - good luck with the amnio tomorrow - at least the waiting is coming to an end. Will keep everything crossed for you.

blackberry glad you had a good scan too! What a small world!

pixie thanks for thinking of me xxx

Katatonic, just out of interest did you ask to find out the sex from the test? We paid an extra £10 to get it but will decide on the day if we really want to know (assuming all is well) as we hadn't discussed it much.

Great news kat & blackberry!

Good luck for tomorrow total

Oh Total I have been thinking of you today - sending you a massive virtual hug - will be keeping fingers and ties crossed that everything goes well for you tomorrow. We all deserve a break after everything we have gone through.

Saggy hope you are coping ok and keeping yourself distracted. Been thinking lots of you too xxx

Good news Katatonic and Blackberry !
Tomkat ,I'm exactly the same as you, coming up to the time I miscarried with my MMC and have also booked a private scan for tomorrow, will be 8w3d. I know what you mean about the panic being all consuming, I can't think of much else. I keep wondering if I'm feeling less sick,am I getting cramps or normal pregnancy twinges,I'm driving myself mad. It doesn't help that DH is away this week on business. Ah well, this time tomorrow I'll have a better idea!
Hope your scan goes well tomorrow Nobodies and your amnio Totalshock .
omri the edd is always difficult, sorry your DP is away. I lit a candle for my little ones on the day.

Totalshock- thinking of you tomorrow, hope it goes ok and your results are all clear.

Hi to everyone else. Have been busy and struggling to survive long days and tired children. Hard to keep up here but think about how you are all getting on.

Hi guys. I am doing ok. Trying to not think about stuff. Good luck, congratulations and a hand hold to anyone and everyone who needs them. Im kind of hiding fron everything pregnancy related atm so I havent read the thread much lately. I hope everyone is ok. xxx

Now I am confused, I thought total shock was a name change for Saggy.
Thinking of you too Saggy and hope you get good news soon x

what I totally agree... I've put it all in a email to my union rep and I think I'm going to have it out with my manager... I left work early today to calm down as was soooo ready to hand in my notice, grrrrr

Ok guys I've been keeping this under my hat because I think I'm scared that if I type it or say it outloud it becomes more real (I know crazy!!!) we have our 13 week scan on Fri and I'm petrified... We don't even want to go (as if ignorance is bliss) I keep reliving that moment when the sonographer turned to me and said there's a problem....

I don't know that I can handle another loss, we've imagined everything from a disability to it not being there at all... This whole thing has robbed us of enjoying any of this.. Jesus im terrified ;(
