Wading into spring with the all new shiny Posifrickentivity thread. PG after MC? Dive right in!

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

All comers welcome, we're a rolling thread. Newbies, middles and oldies alike, join here for hand holding, knicker checking and general batshit craziness!

fod sounds like you are on your way, can't imagine snotty knickers in a heavily pregnant lady to be anything other than a show. Tres exciting. Come on pixie time to start with the rasberry tea? So jealous of your van, I suppose I should get round to learning how to drive.

Had my first pregnancy anxiety dream. I was in mexico with my oh, we were at the beach and swimming out towards what should have been a reef but was actually a cliff of sand. As we got there, the cliff collapsed a bit and we had to swim back to shore. We decided to swim out again, but as we got near the cliff, it avalanced on top of us. I was caught in the wave of sea and sand, but somehow managed to get to the surface and ride the wave. OH not quite so lucky, never saw him again. Feel free to help me interpret ladies.

Hi ladies! Bag is mostly packed... Although I haven't fake tanned the legs ready ;(

Started with back pain, went to bed then up again at 5.30 with twinges then.... Big fat nothing! Never had my waters break or a show with my others it was always a full ache in my lower back which eventually turned into string contractions - I went on the baby centre last night (they have RL pics of shows! Not for the faint hearted or if you've just eaten) although very informative if you've never had a show

Aoife urgh I have anxiety dreams too. Horrid things.

Fod excited for you! The gallery of shows made me lol!

As for me, I think I am entering the 'just look fat' stage. Ms is now less regular (week 11 and tailing off not sudden stoppage so not freaking out) and instead I'm a hungry hungry hippo.

Hahaaa squiz I remember that stage, think I purposely rubbed my tummy so that passer bys knew I was preggars and not fat lol - embrace it and eat! Your only gunna get bigger lol xxx

Yay jbrd - I bet you are on cloud 9!!

We went round to some friends last night and think my alcohol free beer gave me away. They didn't say anything which was nice as didn't want the questions!

fod my show was a gross big glob of yellowy snot like stuff. Arrived in the Monday and had baby on the Friday. Sounds like it to me... Exciting!

Aoife that to me says, you're thinking about the journey you and OH are embarking on. Whilst he is in it with you, you're ultimately wondering if you can take all the emotions/physical side of it/toughness of it all (that's the sand and water coming at you) and in the end you do! You come through both and you ride the wave. You are a strong woman and you can do it.

I have bought next size up bra and new supprtive vest for bed now that usually one for pms-hurty boobs can no longer contain me. Still daren't buy any mat jeans tho. Silly really as can't fasten normal ones!

I wish this baby would put in an appearance. DP is starting to look haggard. Hes not sleeping very well and is a bit quiet. I think he needs to meet his little girl. It must be incredibly hard to be a bloke, especially in not so great circumstances. A bit like just being along for the ride until you actually get something physical to fall in love with.

I totally hear that saggy we try to involve them as much as possible but it's not the same is it? My DH has been on a renovation mission since he found out we were in the clear so to speak - think it's his way of getting involved

Oh my word, a gallery of shows!?!?

So now I'm feeling sick ;( the first time in months nearly chucked twice

Well guess who said the morning sickness seemed to be fading? Then got silly and had a sweet chilli hummus sarnie with flavours and squishiness and so forth...

Boak indeed, especially after reading about the gallery of mucussy wonders!!

Not surprised fod looking up things like that on the internet!!

why did I go looking for that gallery?! I've had a show before, I know what it looks like!

Hahaaa am I right in assuming that you have all been looking at show galleries?? You dirty girls! Heheee

Totally agree tho saggy they are very gross

The gallery of different types of cm make me feel very sick... So im not taking a wonder into the gallery of shows!!

Ps fod sickness is also a sign of labour!!

Don't blame you fedup ooooo don't say that! The car dead is still at the shop! Hahaaa

I felt queasy all afternoon, and then come here to find lots of graphic talk about shows, urgh
But good luck, fod, things might start moving soon!

I'm knackered - DH buggered off skiing yesterday, and I have honestly forgotten how much hard work it is, looking after a toddler on your own. He's not napping anymore, either, so the only break I get is by plonking him on front of the TV One thing is certain, I will not be doing any potty training this week, no way.

Jbrd, we did potty training of my ds when my dh was on leave for two weeks over christmas break. Definitely easier with two adults to control the mess!

Sorry you're feeling poorly, I've had no energy today as headachey and nauseous. Bleh

Ohhhh jbrd im pretty sure it's the law that when your preggars toddlers must sit infront of the tv for at least 30 minutes a day ;)

I'm all about the outsourced toddler entertainment at the moment. DD spent an indecently long time on the iPad this morning while I sat quietly and drank coffee, it was amazing!

hello ladies! Giggling and wincing at the idea of a gallery of shows... definitely not ready for that yet! Can I ask some advice? Those who have had a reassurance scan, was that on the NHS and if so what are the criteria for it? I've got my first MW appointment on tuesday so I'd like to know if that's a possibility...
Also london where does one find supportive vests for sleeping in? I'm in desperate need!
Very very glad to hear about a happy scan jbrd, hope you're feeling better!

ruth our scan was private well at 4D scan place - they also do reassurance scans - we also got a DVD of baby in the womb which was amazing! Best £50 I've ever spent xxx

Hi ruth I think it depends on your epau. Mine accepts self referrals from women with previous mc. I asked for one due to increasing anxiety levels, not worried about anything specifc, but the idea of waiting to 12 weeks filled me with dread. Have mine on Wednesday. Will be 8 weeks. If you can hang on til at least seven weeks, much less chance of getting an ambiguous result.
