How rude!!!! You started a new one without me lol.

Hello all new and old. I'm still here I'm still pg, but I'm moving house tomorrow has lead to a major tantrum from me to hub, apparently women lug heavy boxes in early pg after three miscarriages in one heat alone twat is lucky I'm talking to him currently and breath! Doctor has given me antibiotics for vb which I wanted Monday oh hum, but Friday I had cb 1-2 Monday was cb 2-3 I'm hoping next Monday will get me 3 plus and I'll know all is well still.

Anyhow must dash mini man calling and I need to get to town to collect a carpet.

Tmi query... My breasts are changing but the feel of them isn't quite symmetrical! There are no lumps as such, but one seems to have more slightly harder areas than the other: not rock hard but firm, under the surface. Both boobs have this, but my right side is more distinct. Do I need to mention this? Paranoid I have something wrong with me.

Ooh joosie, so lovely to see you again. I'm so glad we are go together how far are you?

OneLittleToddleTerror · 20/06/2014 22:21

quiet congratulations on making it to 12 weeks. Hope you are feeling reassured and can start relaxing. Congrats on ellis and wriggly bean too.

squizita allow yourself to go mad in mothercare! Do you have a kiddicare near you? I found they are even better. I was so impressed by their stairgate display on my first visit I wished they had a shop near us when DD started to crawl. We got a third one for her room when we took a side off her cot bed. I think they had like 30+ stairgates mounted in the shop. Their online shop is great too. I was just looking at gro swaddles and they have the cheapest price I can find. £15 including delivery for 2 which is about £3-4 more expensive than I can get on eBay second hand. DH just said we should buy new given how little the difference is. (Shipping is free if buying over £30 so I might look at getting a cotbed mattress from them too. In that case it would work out the same price as eBay).

As for your breast question it's normal. I now have an unsightly lump on he lower half of my underarm. The breast tissue has swollen up for milk. It makes me look like my boobs are overflowing out the side do the bra on one side. I was worried last pregnancy but I found the shape of my breasts change when nursing depending on how long ago was the feed. It is disconcerting but you get used to it. However if you are really worried ask your midwife. Obviously I can't see your breasts so I can say we are having the same thing.

Hi DTM! Lovely to hear from you! I thought 'There's a name I recognise!' I'm doing ok at the mo thanks! 9w tomorrow and keeping all crossed. How are you? Pm me with all your news since our last chat on a prev mc thread. Glad you are pg again and we are thread buddies again! X

Can I also mark a place please - very early, no point in getting hopes up etc

blankfornames · 21/06/2014 07:55

Hi everyone!
Hope you don't mind me tagging along!
Here are my stats.

5 wks with #1. Mc at 6 wks in April. Due Feb 19th.

Last week felt sick, dizzy & bad headache. This week freaking out as I feel nothing other than tiredness.

Congrats on all the wiggles! Can't wait for them!

amicablemoomin · 21/06/2014 09:15

welcome Essex and blank!

fedupofrainydays · 21/06/2014 15:48

Hello, back from holiday today and found the new thread and lovely to see lots of new bfps and good scan news!!

Feeling pretty huge now and the need to wee every 5 seconds is back. Not much fun on a plane!! Also posted a group shot on FB so my pregnancy is now I suppose public as had a few messages of congrats. I find that in itself a bit scary. Still have the fear of it all going wrong and STILL check knickers for blood every loo stop.
But I'm at 24 weeks now, and still feels an age to go!
Hope everyone is well and looking forward to catching up on the news.

OneLittleToddleTerror · 21/06/2014 16:06

Oh god the frequent loo stops. Went to ikea today trying to start organising for new baby. Basically more storage units so we can clear out the junk in the guest bedroom. DD thought the ikea showroom was a huge playground. She sat on all the sofas, slept on all the beds, played with all the bowls and cups on display. We have to skip the market hall floor because it took us nearly two hours to go through the showroom floor. And we were only after a few drawer inserts for the expedit and a laptop stand. I think i went to the toilet 3 times in that time.

Made the mistake at lunch drinking 3 glass of coke. (Blame the bottomless soft drink at nandos). The drive home is probably less than 30min and I was bursting to go to the loo again when I got home.

I told DH I don't want to go anywhere without easy access to nice toilets!

longestlurkerever · 21/06/2014 18:51

Blankfornames. Welcome! I feel the same and wouldn't mind a pesci-slap actually as am nearly 7 weeks now and haven't felt very sick at all since the day I got my bpd. Keep telling myself I wasn't very sick with dd but can't help thinking I was sicker than this, although I may have got my chronology wrong. Have a slight metally taste so suppose that is something but would appreciate tales from people who

longestlurkerever · 21/06/2014 18:52

Oops - meant to say who didn't feel very pregnant at this stage but had a happy scan.

Ikea is the fourth circle of hell.

OhTheDrama · 21/06/2014 19:15

Welcome to all the newcomers!

I really need some reassurance tonight. Just been to the loo and there is brown staining on my pants and when I wipe. No pains but this is how my last mc started. I'm really freaking out but I feel it's pointless going getting checked as at 5+4 there's not really much they can do.

longestlurkerever · 21/06/2014 19:58

Sorry to hear you're worried, Oh. Lots of the ladies on this thread have had bleeding that's turned out fine, and brown is less worrying than red. Here's a hand to hold while you wait for it to settle. Maybe give the epu a call just to chat it through?

GandTnow · 21/06/2014 20:36

Hope things have calmed down now OhTheDrama, like longest said brown is better than red. I'm no expert but could it be implantation?

Try not to worry much - I know easier said than done. Hand holding here too.

fedupofrainydays · 21/06/2014 21:53

Hang in there drama. I had brown at 5 + 5 and EPU saw me. Mainly because they wanted to check location re ectopic. So some may see you. And with this preg I saw a HB at 5 + 6 so they can see things that early despite what they say.

But as others say, red is usually worse than brown. Although both my mc were brown, there is a lot of good news stories on this thread and others of those who had blood and it's been fine. I can imagine the worry though. It's terrible and so unfair that your body does this to you, when already had a mc in the past and already a paranoid nut job. Hand holding for you and hope the blood stops.

fedupofrainydays · 21/06/2014 21:55

And most definitely could be implantation at this stage - my doctors told me that.

OhTheDrama · 21/06/2014 22:17

Thanks everyone for the reassurance, getting niggly cramps quite low and centre and bad lower back pain. Am going to go to bed and see what tomorrow brings.

MrsAmelia · 22/06/2014 07:03

May I join you all?

I had an MMC at 8wks+2 and my ERPC on 29 April.
Friday I just got a BFP and should be due on March 1st, 2015, if all goes well. This puts me at 4 weeks exactly today. I'll get my first viability scan done two weeks Monday to see if things are progressing as they should.

Anyone else who is pregnant now and had an MMC make it through successfully on the first BFP after their MMC?

I'm too scared to be happy and hopeful...

Congrats Mrs A! Welcome!

blankfornames · 22/06/2014 07:53

Hope things have settled down for you drama.
Welcome Mrs A! Congrats on your bfp!

annabenbow · 22/06/2014 07:53

Hi, I'm new here , not sure if this is the right place to post this so apologise if I've got it wrong.
I am 19 and about 7 weeks pregnant I've been having really bad sickness all through the day.
I am petrified I am going to have a miscariage, I have been experiencing stomach pains and cramps is this normal?
Thanks x

fedupofrainydays · 22/06/2014 08:42

Hi anna this is a thread for ladies who are pregnant after sadly experiencing a previous miscarriage or multiple losses. Is this your first pregnancy? Might be helpful to join the Antenatal board for those due the same month as you as if you haven't had a mc us ladies on here could provide unnecessary worry for you due to put previous experiences and general paranoia?
However, feeling sick is a good sign and stomach cramps are very normal as everything is stretching down there. I wouldn't worry unless you have blood accompanying those cramps or the pain is really bad. Congrats on your pregnancy!

Gwlondon · 22/06/2014 09:01

mrsamelia my current pregnancy is following a mmc over Christmas. I am 15 weeks now. (Had to look up BFP!) so it only sort of answers your question.

annabenbow like fedupofrainydays said! I have had two miscarriages and they were both different. One started with a light bleed. The other one wasn't identified until 12 week scan (missed miscarriage). Good luck.

Gwlondon · 22/06/2014 09:32
