PG after MC: Keeping the Posifrickingtivity going into 2014!!

[Chocolateteabag]

Oops I managed to finish the last thread - so here we go!

Janie - fingers crossed

Gosh! So much has happened in a week since I last logged in! This thread moves so fast!

Got my scan tomorrow. Will be 6+6 so if still nothing is seen then the MMC will be confirmed. DH remains ultra positive, especially as I'm having terrible morning sickness, worse than I had with DD! So bad I even had to take the day off work today. Am eating a slice of toast every hour or so to keep my blood sugar up but still feel crap.

Hope the rest of you ladies are doing well.

miss I'm so sorry you have all this worry. I'll be thinking of you and keeping everything crossed - [huge hugs]

missm so sorry your having to go through this but don't give up hope that the procedure will be successful. Lots of posifrickintivity coming your way.

ickle all the best with your scan. The sickness is definately a good sign.

MissM please don't blame yourself, you have not done anything to cause this. I cant imagine what you are going through at the moment. Thinking of you and your family X

Oh Miss I can't even imagine how you're feeling right now! Wishing you the best of luck for the procedure tomorrow!
Ickle, il be thinking of you tomorrow too. I hope it goes well for you both.

MissM and Ickle, I hope tomorrow is a good day for you both.

Thinking good thoughts for you.

Just catching up on the thread! Lots going on!

Thanks for all the info on first flutter timings. I'm 17 weeks now and sometimes if I concentrate I think I can feel some weird squirmy feelings, but it could be my imagination (or wind).

emki I am still using my Doppler maybe a couple of times a week. I can't always find the heartbeat first time but if I go away for a few hours and come back I can usually find it. I'm getting better at working out where Pingu likes to hang out! All the best for your scan tomorrow, and to you too ickle

Super good luck to you missmedusa, it sounds very scary but you are doing the best thing for your little bub, be brave

Welcome lj and lucyfluff, wishing you both all the best for your pregnancy! I remember you from another thread lucy, fingers crossed for a better outcome for you this time.

Very exciting news booty, looking forward to a new thread baby! Sounds like there could be a few of those in the next few days. And lovely news on your two little boys at your scan pig, can they tell if they are identical or will you have to wait until they are born to find that out?

Sorry that you are having a difficult time of it nerdy and aly. We can all sympathise with the super intensive stress that those first few weeks put on you. Funny how much we desperately hope for a bfp, then when we get one it just starts a whole heap of new things to worry about! Just try to take it one day at a time.

I've just had a very depressing time trying on all of my dresses for a Christmas party tomorrow, trying to find one that made me look pregnant instead of fat. No such luck, I will just have to embrace the podge!

missm will be thinking of you tomorrow and I hope the procedure goes really well. I would be so frustrated and angry with the hospital that they hadn't acted before now - it is absolutely not in any way your fault. Don't give up hope! X

ickle best of luck for tomorrow. Morning sickness certainly sounds promising. What time is your scan?

Thanks all for the warm welcome back. I'm still having to work on the positive thinking & this thread really helps.
missm thinking of you tomorrow & fingers crossed it works out.
ickle good luck for your scan hope it's good news.
aly you do have an awful lot to cope with. Try & just take it a day at a time. Hope your move goes smoothly & glad you'll still be able to keep in touch with us.
nerdy how are you doing? Hope the spotting has settled down.

Gd luck to all the ladies due soon.

I have my booking appt tomorrow so am hoping might get to hear heartbeat again. Still not telling many people yet - quite like the secret!

Pixielady, they will be their own gang - I just feel outnumbered by my own uterus .

Penguinita, I can't tell if they're identical or not - as they're not sharing placentas or anything, there's a lower chance of them being so, but its not impossible.

miss and ickle I am thinking of you both. Postivefrickintivity.

It's my booking in appt tomorrow. Nervous. Sure it will all be fine. It was one of my targets to get to. Then my next target is Christmas. One day at a time. We can do it ladies.

Slightly sad/annoyed. My DH is so busy at work, he can't come to my booking in appt. it's been touch and go for days if he can't make it. And he's just got in from work, and said he can't make it. I know this just routine check up, but it's the first time I've been and I'm nervous.

Sorry to rant.

Hi everyone

Thanks for holding my hand over my spotting. I still have it but it seems to be reducing. Still only pale brown, and no pain or cramping.
Had my appointment at the high risk clinic. They confirmed it's because I have ulcerative colitis. Everything is fine on that front, and when I told them about the spotting they didn't seem concerned. Went through the motions of making various appointments that I'll need later on, but I'm not convinced I'll need them. Am fully expecting my scan on 3rd Jan to confirm MC. I know it's not posifrickingtivity, but it's the only way I can cope.

That's enough about me!

missmedusa I really hope everything goes well for you. Don't for a minute think you've let your baby down because you haven't.

ickle good luck to you too, hope you see a bean.

aly not surprised you cried, organising a country move whilst newly pregnant, over christmas would be a huge thing for anyone. I can't even organise christmas and I want to cry!

thepig glad you got to see your babies! Twins sounds exciting if a little exhausting!

louzul I didn't bring my DP to booking or to my clinic appt. They asked a little family history, but that's all you'd need him for I think. If he really can't make it get him to write it down. Things like heart probs, diabetes etc.

Thanks Kat And Nerdy. I just needed some sense being talked to me. I know I was being silly!!

good luck today Louzul - it is the least useful appt for a DP to attend as Kat says, so don't feel too bad.

nerdy - glad that the spotting has eased off. Totally "get" you holding off excitement til after 3 jan - but you are still pregnant today

Well think that today could be the day (please don't let that jinx things) as have had on off contractions through the night which are now around every 8-10 mins and getting more painful. Just need to get Ds into preschool (well DH has to) and can hopefully crack on.

Good luck chocolate and louzul hope your booking goes OK. Sorry you have to go on your own.

Thinking of you missm and ickle and hoping time flies to 3rd Jan nerdy and you get good news.

Exciting chocolate! lots of luck, keep us posted if you can!

louzul hope booking in is ok. As appointments go it is pretty dull so your DH isn't missing anything at all, apart from providing you with some morale support. hope you get a nice midwife

Like everyone has already said, booking in is sn hour long paperwork exercise and it doesn't matter if dp isn't there (as long as you have a good idea of his health/family health).

MissM all the very very best for your op today. Please don't feel like you've let your baby down. I'm sorry you were fobbed off before hugs xxx

chocolate - woop woop! Hope this is it for you and hope it goes well!

I just realised my due date on stats is Christmas day, which it is according to dates, but my official due date is Friday from the scan. Think that means I could have upwards of a week left to wait!

Morning ladies,

Chocolate how exciting! good luck and hope you have a smooth labour cant wait to hear some news!!!

Hi penguin - yes I was on a mc thread with you from the Sept bus which led to a cpg but luckily we have just had another bfp fingers crossed this is a sticky bubs. Glad your ok and starting to feel little flutters! I remember someone sayinh it felt like popcorn popping in your tummy at first and it really did!!!

Hi to everyone else...im on the app so cant scroll down while typing ! Still holding out till saturday to do the digi test that shows weeks

Good luck chocolate !

Welcome Lucy I remember you from the MC threads - nice to see you here.

missM thinking of you and hope the procedure goes well today.

Hi Lucy, good luck with a hopefully very boring pregnancy.
Choc - hope we will be getting another squishy thread baby today!!
Where are we up to with the stats? If I remember rightly we have a few due the next week or 2 and then a break till me at the end of Jan?

Thankyou baking - how are you feeling now??

...and christine...not long for you!!! How exciting. I love hearing baby news it makes all this worry so worthwhile
