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!

Aoife "somehow massage doesn't seem appropriate" Oh my god you make me laugh!! (So sorry Fod). Glad your appointment went well and you know you can self refer. Extremely jealous that you have your booking in date, cor! Very hopeful for us still being here in 8 months

Making my place. Hope all went well at your scan Squiz.

How is the spotting today jbrd?

Saggy absense could be a good sign after her Braxton hicks :-) x

Currently engaged in new favourite activity. Candles lit, immersed in bath, mn on tablet, cold 0% bavaria at my side. Bliss.

So a good scan here this afternoon - 5 + 6 and it's all on the right place... Phewf. Added bonus was a little heartbeat. Wasn't expecting that! Cried with relief after. Two weeks to get through til next one....

aoife I've actually tried that hahaa I just stayed north ;) I've never been a fan of taking pain killers and DH threw out the hot water bottles when he discovered there could be links to mc. Nerdy I had a student that conceived after I had my MMC the poor girl ended up having a still born baby boy (she's only 19!) I had cut off all contact with anyone pregnant at the time and felt terrible when another student told me what had happened

aoife I did that last night, took up a decaf cappuccino and had the 'Cranberries' album on full blast whilst emerged - it was fab!!!! Aside from DD having to help me into my pjs after - the joys of SPD -

How weird will it be without saggy? Sooooo jealous

Fod ouchy!!

Tea I'm itchy already but it's just 1st trimester sensitive skin. Delicate little flower that I am. Hope the stinky cream clears it up for you!

KJ hang on in there! Sure you'll be fine for a few more weeks.

Nerdy I know the feeling about rare things no longer feeling rare in 'our world'. Hope you get some peace of mind via your cold drinks and coke! :)

London sickness is no fun. :( Thinking of you and that weird 'reassuring but utterly vile' sensation. I sicked up scampi fry crisps yesterday: not an experience I wish to have again.

My appointment today went well. DH was late and missed the scan, which efficiently went "heartbeat, normal, normal, normal... yes all normal" phew. It was so normal the consultant passed me to a nurse who passed me over to the midwives like a regular preggers woman! Sccaaaaary new steps!

Yeah for good scan fedup, now just waiting to hear from squiz.

Now fod are you starting rumours or is saggy definitely on her way to the facebook page?

I now must leave my bath as a) I need to pee and b) tis my turn to cook dinner.

If you have a spare bit of time you might want to read the pregnant not fiance's thread a may zing.

squiz that's fab news! So pleased for you! aoife I'm merely assuming heheee - Any queue jumping and there'll be trouble! ;)

Nice to see there's been a few good scans and appointments today

Iv jus come home from work early thanks to ms coming back with a vengeance n making me throw up in the toilets, work in a public place with food so had to give up n come home, iv barly been sick this whole pregnancy so far so I'm a little sad it's come back now! Gona get out the doppler again to cheer remind myself being sick is good trying really hard not to get addicted

Evening ladies :-)

Glad all scans went well today - such fab news!!

Squiz - we had our 4d scan done at our local hospital as they offer a private scan service. My local hospital is Hinchingbrooke which is a privately run NHS hospital (if that makes sense??) so not sure if that's why they run that service. Keep an eye on sites like groupon as often they have really good 4d scan offers.

I had my glucose test today and I have gestational diabeties :-( cant believe it as I have eaten so healthly in this pregnany and my weight gain is lower than with DS. I am going back tomorrow to see the consultant and talk about treatment etc.

Fod - hope you feel better soon - sounds painful :-(

Hope everything is going okay with Saggy - eek!! Xx

Glad to see/read that people seem to be doing well (apart from fod, poor you!). Good scan news all around, I'm so jealous. Saturday seems a long way away...
My spotting seems to have almost stopped now, taking that as a positive sign. I feel very tired, probably from being so tense all the time. And my teeth have started hurting again, apparently I grind my teeth at night, which then results in bad tooth/jaw ache during the day.

Let's face it, I'm a nervous wreck! There, I said it!
But now I'm going to have the delicious curry that DH has cooked and then watch Game of Thrones

Woohoo Fedup that is awesome news! I am so pleased for you

Squiz Ewww yuk! Do you feel any better after you have been sick? Or is it still pretty constant for you? I've yet to actually puke but after today I am starting to feel it may be on the cards. Lovely news that you are such a normal pregnant lady! I knew it! lol.

Alb1 Yukky! Least you got to go home though

Ark that is pants news. I hope it isn't too tricky to manage.

Feel so positive because of the sick feelings but I was okay this time (6+4) last time so it doesn't really reassure me. Another week till I'm in the dread zone of when I started to loose a few symptoms last time. But let's not fret about that just yet eh? I need my bed now as sleep going to be only escape from sicky feelings methinks.

Jbird so glad it's settled. Sending you thoughts and positive vibes!

Yes - where is Saggy???? I crossed posts with her last night - and there has been not a peep today ......

all was good with me - bump measured 26 weeks which is good, urine fine, blood pressure fine and heard baby's heart - so fast! So lovely - could have stayed there for a few hours listening ....

teaandanatter and fod sorry you're so uncomfortable - what a nightmare!

Aoife well done, and wishing you a very smooth pregnancy

nerdy I had a late miscarriage, and do know one other person who had one - but compared to the amount of successful pregnancies around us it is still very rare to miscarry after 12 wks, try to hold to that. I've also heard that drinking very cold water and then lying down for 10 mins or so helps to feel the baby move. How many weeks are you? I didn't properly feel anything till 20 wks or so - my placenta is at the front so is acting as a bit of a barrier. Also loving the pampering - I'm having reflexology once a month and also have a facial to book (pressie from my sister) Can't Wait!

KJH5 lots of hand holding

Jbrd lots of hand holding to you too xxx

JBrd really glad to hear it has settled again, you really have been on quite the roller coaster ride. Lets hope you just have a troublesome but sticky bean.

Squiz so glad you scan went well. It must feel good to be in virgin territory - so to speak.

Well done squiz great news!

Hellooo!
did you all miss me?
No movement here. I spent the day doing stuff watching tv and the evening De fouling the kitchen.
Ryvita is still thankfully in situ and there's less than 24 hours till Christmas dinner!
Im the same as Fod, I feel like my pelvis is splitting on two. Also getting stabby pains in fanjo and bottom. I think maybe our babies heads might be engaged!
I'll have a read in a bit and catch up.

Hooray for good scan/appointment news fedup and squiz and emki! Lots of happy news on here at the moment, it is great and long may it continue

I had a very good GP appointment today to discuss my SPD. The doctor had just come back from maternity leave herself and had suffered so was really sympathetic. She agreed to refer me to a physio straight away, and if the waiting list at the hospital is too long then she'll send me to a separate clinic. Result!

I also booked my maternity leave at work (11 weeks to go!) and my NHS antenatal classes and joined a home birth support group. And it is officially my first day in the third trimester. Phew, what a busy baby day

Yayyyyy saggy! oooo I do hope so!!! Wouldn't it be fab if we popped at the same time? Thanks for the well wishes ladies, also jbrd sending lots of hugs and good wishes your way, try to busy yourself (easier said than done I know) but anything that'll raid your mind off things until Saturday is good xxx

Great news about all the good scans and appointments ladies!

jbrd glad things have settled again, really admire your ability to cope with this rollercoaster, hoping all stays calm now for the rest of the week xx

saggy! glad you're still here! was feeling a bit lost last night as didn't quite know what we were going to do without you!

hope you're feeling a bit less sore fod and hope sickness is better today alb

Glad you are still hanging in there Saggy! More baby-baking time can only be a good thing for the baby, not necessarily the mother

Pixie I am uber jealous you have such a great physio! Do you find she has helped improve the SPD at all? Or at least made it more manageable? Mine told me last week there is nothing more she can do for me but will keep me on her books until 6 weeks post-birth incase I have any more issues. She really helped with my back/hip pain but seemed totally clueless about the actual SPD, saying there is nothing that can be done and I just have to deal with it. She didn't really seem to know a lot about how it could affect birth save from measuring how far apart I could have my knees... It has been really bad the past two days so I've been working from home, wondering if it is worth just paying for a private physio if there is anything that can be done?

So happy to read about all the positive scan news! And glad you are hanging in there Jbrd you are being so strong xx

Seems like this is the thread I need, especially for positive thoughts which I lack. Okay my due date has been given as 3rd Oct 2014. I have had 1x ruptured ectopic and 2 x MC last year so fingers crossed this will be my 1st full pregnancy.

Maybe 2014 will be my year. 6wk scan had the magic words of in uterine now 7wk+5, so am hanging in and generally feeling crap which I take as a good sign with some symptoms & no bleeds.

dav welcome! Crossing everything for a sticky bean, do you have another scan lined up? pixie very tender this morning - feels like I've pulled muscles across my lower stomach and groin area so I've succumbed and popped a pill prior to a long bath soak
