Hi everyone

Looks like there might be a few old timers who know me from before, and hello to those I haven't met before.

So I had a mmc last nov, 0DC and now 36+5 weeks- waaa! Still paranoid and disbelieving but the bump is getting a but hard to ignore...

Massive congrats to total on the arrival of baby James. Looks like there's a few more not very far behind!

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 25/02/2014 21:42

Yay! Total! Grin Grin Grin
Congratulations! All the best boys are called James!
Sadly not Fod! it was the teeniest teeny speck. I had high hopes but no. Sad
I have however had masses of BH, stabby fanjo pains, back ache and sciatica. And I've been out cold since I got in at 4!
It's bizarre because I had nothing with the others at all until I was induced. Although it's nothing regular im hoping that for once it means I'll go naturally.
I went to the hospital today. I thought I was seeing a consultant. Sadly I just got the AAU. The midwife was a TWAT! Confused

Feeling all crampy again and back ache. Just as I was thrilled to be feeling so sick and slightly relaxing I'm back as a bag of nerves again... :(

fod27 · 25/02/2014 21:52

Sounds very similar to my 'is it isn't it?' Experience... Soooo bloody frustrating isn't it? I was the same with my others as you - no symptoms until actual contacting kicked in

Hi thunder!!! And wow! Congrats to you

andadietcoke · 25/02/2014 21:57

total mahoosive congratulations! Lovely name, and enjoy lots of newborn snuggles.

thunder flipping heck, that's gone quickly (not for you I bet!). Good luck lovely.

And saggy sounds promising!! Good luck to you too. Have they said how early they think she might be?

We're good. The babies are six months old this week. I can't believe it. It's gone quickly and incredibly slowly in equal measures.

Penguinita · 25/02/2014 22:04

Hooray total, huge congratulations! Enjoy those gorgeous newborn cuddles with sweet baby James, awww Smile

OddSocksandHoleyPants · 25/02/2014 22:55

Thanks everyone for helping me earlier - baking yes I was hoping for a scan around 8 weeks - ironically I had one booked last time but mc before it. There's been a change of mw since last time. I've left a message for the mw who looked after me after the sb & hoping she'll help.
But... I resorted to poas again, and felt better seeing a strong line - much more so than last week. So you're right - today, I am pg. And I have been really odd about food today - really fancied a crisp and cheese sandwich (in total agreement about the cheese thing!).
Congrats to total btw :)

NerdyBird · 25/02/2014 23:45

I am very short on the posifrickingtivity today. Was beginning to think I might make it through to the scan next week without another wobble, but then today I found a little browny red spotting. Just before my annual performance review too, so that was fun. Have been utterly convinced since then that the baby has died. Have just necked cold orange juice and cold water in an attempt to bring on the fluttery feelings I think are movements (but might not be). My dad thinks the bleeding could be hormonal - the last worrying one was 4 weeks ago so I guess it's possible. Unless it gets any worse I think I'll just have to wait for the scan now. So far it's just been the once and no more.

Congrats to total!

fod27 · 26/02/2014 00:23

nerdy that happened to me too for the first 8-10 weeks I bled when I would have had my cycle - it turned out I had a funny shaped uterus so one side knew I was pregnant and the other didn't hence the bleed - I'd never heads of it before but I'm all for anything that helps me regain my perspective - have a google see if it helps xx

GardenWorm · 26/02/2014 05:31

Congrats Total, fab news xx

Hi to those in the final stretch (including the lurking Thunder), not long now till you meet your little ones Smile

Keep the posifrickintivity going ladies! X

MrsGiraffe12 · 26/02/2014 06:52

Eeek getting ready to take DS to school then me and DH off to hospital for scan.

He w

MrsGiraffe12 · 26/02/2014 06:54

Oops sorry fat fingers.

He woke me up last night and said "it's twins. I know it is".

Next time I post I can tell you all if his strange and almost always (9 times out of 10) freaky baby guessing thing is correct xx

bakingtins · 26/02/2014 07:05

hi thunder lovely to see you! any day now.....

Good luck Mrs G

nerdy hope the spotting has stopped.Worrying but probably normal.

Aoifebelle · 26/02/2014 07:11

Scan for me too MrsG. Twins would freak me out, but given i am pushing 40, could be a nice instant family.Been lying awake listing evidence that I am or am mot pregnant

for
Six positive pregnancy tests
Sore boobs all the time
Increased thirst and hunger
Weird inside out burpy hiccup thing I only get when up the duff
Asleep by 10

Against
Sore boobs, but not hot and itchy
No ms, I feel too good
No cravings
I don't feel that different to usual.

I suppose I will know more in a few hours.

MrsGiraffe12 · 26/02/2014 07:16

Good luck aoife :-) hopefully we can both post good news later

And lots of posifrickintivity to all the ladies in early pregnancy :-) and babies who are due - make a move on, we all want to hear of your arrivals :-) xx

fedupofrainydays · 26/02/2014 08:02

mrsg and aoife good luck for scans.
I too would love twins - but be very excited and scared at same time. I dreamt this was twins but at scan there was just the lovely one! But my dreams are never accurate, just weird!

Feeling really rough this morn. Have already spent a small fortune on bacon sandwiches and snacks to get me through. Very close to telling boss - just because I feel so disgusting.

squizita · 26/02/2014 08:04

Best of luck Aoife

I'm also wobbly. Had a paranoia inducing wipe. Same toilet session as a number 2. The usual thing (TMI) is the mucus darker or is that poo? Is that spotting from the front or back? :( Giving it a while then trying again.

pgchimp · 26/02/2014 08:07

huge congrats to total.

good luck today for mrsg and aoife. keep calm and posifrickitive.

fod27 · 26/02/2014 08:12

Ok ladies here's a new symptom - my belly button is killing me! Really really sore! Have any if you experienced this? X

fod27 · 26/02/2014 08:13

Good luck Aoife send positive thoughts xx

Pixielady83 · 26/02/2014 09:04

Many congratulations total! James is a fab name and what a good weight Smile Smile Smile hope you feel ok today and are enjoying snuggles!

aoife and mrsg loads of luck today, will be thinking of you both.

squiz that's spooky! Shock

hi thunder! nice to see you, hopefully not long for you now either Smile

anda can't believe your girls are 6mths already! is the world starting to shift back into focus yet? Smile

No news here. Apart from my hot milk bras arrived and they are proper lush! wish I'd bought two more now, makes me realize how knackered my old nursing bras are!

Pixielady83 · 26/02/2014 09:08

fod27 · 26/02/2014 09:26

Can I join the thread!? Really need some hand holding and positivity!

Found out I was pregnant two weeks ago after 3 MCs. Very very nervous.

Wondering whether to have an early scan or to hold in there until 12 weeks. 6 weeks ATM.
