[MrsGiraffe12]

Hand holding, fish slapping and general bat shit craziness :-)

Got everything crossed for you silver you'll be fine, deep breaths

Thanks baby, mrsg and Tearex! As for the deep breaths, I'm trying! X

Good luck silver will be sending positive thoughts tomorrow and wish you all the best!

Good luck tommorow silver! X

Massive good luck for tomorrow Silver hope everything is just perfect :) - try and get some sleep tonight!

Thank you ladies for the love and best wishes, and for adding me to the stats - proud, it surreal to be on the thread baby list!!!

If any of you have had preemies and know of a forum/thread here or elsewhere please let me know, as I need the support.

Yesterday was a REALLY tough day and I am now aware that it's a really long road ahead for us and our daughter.

Complications at the birth indicate some possible brain damage and we won't know anymore about this for a few days. The waiting is horrendous.

On a happier and more positive note, the breast feeding is coming along well.

Goodbye for now lovely ladies and GOOD LUCK

Keeping xxx

Have PMd you keeping xx

Big love for you and baby k, keeping. Hope she thrives and nothing comes of the birth complications.
The wait must be just awful but pleased the bf is going well.
Thinking of you a lot.

Definitely keep the faith. Xx

Morning all,
Keeping thinking of you and your LO lots and sending you love. I hope the journey home is not too long for you all xx

Silver I too have a 12 week scan today. Good luck to you. The fear has certainly had some good effects - due to not bothering with sleep anymore (its so last year you know!) I have managed two loads of washing hanging on the line, beds stripped, kitchen gleaming and just about to get out the trusty hoover.

Perhaps I'm trying to clean myself to a positive scan result!

Keeping a friend of mine was in a very similar situation with her preemie. At the time they were quite bleak about the prognosis, but now their DS is a big and boisterous boy with no signs of harm from being early. Baby brains are amazing things which have the ability to adapt and overcome all sorts of traumas! In the meantime be as kind to yourself as you can and do whatever you need to get you through each day.

chops, littlemiss, tanny and tea congrats on the scans, I hope to be in your position on Monday! Good luck to those of you with scans/ appointments today.

I've just called in sick, which I absolutely hate doing, but have been up with a chesty cough all night and feel absolutely rank. Think I have the beginnings of morning sickness too as coughing is making me feel sick and leads to a nice bout of retching afterwards . Feel guilty about letting people down by not being in work, but also know I'd feel guilty about letting baby down if I did go into work when I know I'm ill! With my first MMC I pushed myself to keep going when I felt rough, and I'll never know if that had an affect on the outcome. Don't think my boss will see it in the same way though and I'm sure she'll be cursing me .

Hows everyone else feeling today?

internet please try not to worry re work. I have been feeling on and off rough for the last couple of weeks (so far today ok) I am a lot worse in the afternoon and evening. Anyway I've told my work (v supportive at my MMC) and they have told me to work from home where possible. To say I appreciate this is an understatement. For my MMC I have absolutely loads going on (events at work, organising a large family event, late (ish) nights and all day on my feet one day working). I'll never know for sure but the day after the longest/most full on day I lost all my symptoms and have always wondered if I just did a bit much. It's probably nothing to do with it but I figure for the next few weeks I'm taking it easy. If you feel poorly stay home and rest. You're body is telling you you need to rest so listen to it and don't feel guilty for looking after yourself.

I also find if I nap in the day my sickness is much less in the afternoon. It's not always possible but I'm trying. Also DH has been amazing to be fair and let me lie in every day (he gets up with DD at 7) and I can sleep for another 45 mins than normal which has made a difference too!

keeping sending you lots of happy and positive thoughts today. Stay strong and well done on the breast feeding!!

Good luck gnt

Lots of great scan news this week. Not long for us sea hope your not too stressed out.

keeping congratulations on your gorgeous little girl. Keep positive a friend had twins at 27 weeks and they too are now healthy happy 9 year olds. Whatever happens you all have each other and that must be an amazing feeling. Please keep us posted on your little girls progress x

Scan tomorrow. I'm so nervous. I will be 11+5, we plan to tell DH's children and then the rest of the family.

Nausea seems to have gone, boobs still tender and im tired but that's mainly because I hardly slept last night.

Help me.

Thanks chops, happily & boozle!
Aw g&t sorry you've been struggling to sleep. At least you have a clean house to show for it hope it gets better after a good result today!
Have you got reason to think something may be wrong? I'm 9+5 today and symptoms seem to have disappeared a week ago. I know it's not unusual in a healthy pg but could also indicate mc...

Good luck tomorrow too seasalt & happily!
seasalt boobs still tender is s good sign. It's mainly that going thats freaking me out... plus you're further along and the placenta takes over hence symptoms subsiding.

Silverine, please don't worry about symptoms coming and going, I truly think that they are no indication at all. With my mmc I had all the symptoms going - even 4 weeks after the baby had died. Also mine did drop off a bit at about your stage and then came back with a vomity vengence!

I've no reason to think something is wrong, good scan at 9 weeks and all, I just think that a mmc messes with your mind and I now just expect the worst. It's strange but I can't think about anything at all after 3.30 today! Never had this before, but it is like a fork in the path and I don't know which one I'll be going down - either off to buy clothes and a proper bra or talking about erpc etc - strange.

What time is yours today? (Rubber gloved and cleaning) Hand holding here xx

My symptoms disappeared around 9+5 too and I had a healthy scan at 10 weeks. I've actually been feeling much better recently n then the last few days I've had bouts of nausea! I think what I'm trying to say is you really never know until your scan, you can drive yourself mad questioning everything. Try and stay positive, I know how hard it is but you have no reason to think anything is wrong, in fact everything is more likely to be fine!!!

What time is your scan? X

Good luck with scans! x

Hi all, could I jump on please? I'm 32#1 due April 5th. I had a mc at 7+6 last time. So nervous...lots of pant checking.

I'm 5+6 now. Its going really really slow!x

Hi everyone, been absent for a while, but great to see the good scan news and good luck to those with scans today and early next week. The wait is horrific.

keeping massive congratulations on your baby girl! It must be a such a worry with her being so small, but very pleased BF is going well, that is good news. Please keep us posted - thinking of you.

Not much going on here, 21 weeks tomorrow and no kicks or anything for me yet (this is first baby so not expecting much yet and have placenta at the front). Anyone have any ideas on when might expect to feel something - or when I should start to worry that I haven't??

Have a good day everyone. x

Thanks g&t and happily that's reassuring. Scan's at 4pm. FX all! X

Oh I'm in need of a fish slap please. Today I feel pretty much fine, no nausea and no headache / sore boobs. Still tired but I always am. I can't stop panicking. No bleeding or anything but I just feel kind of normal (weird at 7 wks no??) first time around was so different, didn't worry about a thing, just enjoyed the moments I didn't have symptoms instead of stressing out!

We can slap each other ilove! My symptoms have come and gone (and are in full force today) but doesn't stop me worrying because I know that with a MMC you still get symptoms! So basically nothing can reassure me .

Are you still taking the B6 - maybe its just making you feel OK?

Back from the hospital and VERY pleased to say that all was well! Offically been dated at 12+4. This puts my EDD a week ahead of where I thought so I'm now due 15.2.15!

Thank you so much everyone for keeping me going these last 12 weeks, I feel like I've lived through 100 years! Straight after scan I took DH off to mothercare and now have comfy bras!

Now all we have to do is get through the next 28 weeks!

I will join you in the visit to the fishmonger for wet fish, I've been knicker checking relentlessly, lots of aches and pains, mostly I think because I'm tired after 3 night's of Dr waking at 1:30 and not sleeping till dawn...
Sickness really bad today, can't face dinner.

Still debating asking for an early scan, it would be a pain to organise and I'm not even sure if it would make much difference to how I'm feeling as it isn't exactly based in medical facts, just worry!

Welcome to chilli, good luck, the time will go, just try to keep busy!
