Staying posifrickentive- Thread 9 for ladies pg after mc

[sundayraspberry]

Right that wasn't so hard! Let's hope everyone finds us still

Aww he does sound lovely tinkly and you're not useless, you're doing the most important job of growing yours and your dh's baby

You're all very welcome ladies xxx

mimi so sorry you've suffered 3 mc's now, I felt like you after 2 with no dc's...but it happened in the end... perhaps get some tests done with your GP, I did after two in a row, they all came back fine thankfully...so I hope the same is true for you also hun! Best of luck, big hugs x

sofia not long now!!! Eeek! Exciting...best of luck to you too hun x

Lovely news lily, you must be so relieved!

tinkly he sounds fab, makes life so much more bearable to have the support.

Lucky I often think that too - this mad decree that we are All The Same and ovulate on CD14 and period 14 days later. Bloody irritating when people refuse to believe that might not be true for you. I usually ovulate between day 10 and 12 and have a short luteal phase (about 10 days, unless am mega dosing evening primrose oil then I can extend it a bit), so yes my period really can be late by about day 21 sometimes!

I feel so ill. Spent from 1.30-4am mainly on the bathroom floor, always feeling on the verge of a vom but never quite getting there, so got no relief at all. Woke up feeling much the same still at 6am. By myself with DD for the next 3 days (until 5pm ish), I can barely stand She is being a little star and has just made herself a sausage sandwich for her breakfast (she's 4). I tried and largely failed on my porridge. Bugger. My hunch says girl. I was lulled into thinking the first trimester wasn't as bad as I remembered from 5 years ago by the broadly manageable one I had last autumn. That was a boy though from pathology. And yes, this is far more like the horror time I had with the girls... I am such a wuss about sickness. Wtf are we going to do all day?!

Aww butterfly! I don't know what's worse feeling like your going to be sick constantly or actually being sick! I'm on the verge constantly and just sat here at work trying to decide if I'm going to be sick or not! This is worse than last time. I hope it's sunny with you so you can just lie in the garden all day.

tinkly what a lovely DH

Poor you Mac, it was awful when I worked through my first two first trimesters. Take it as easy as you can and take sick days if you need thhem - remember once you'd told your manager /HR in writing that you are pregnant, your sick leave should be recorded as pregnancy related and not affect your normal sick record. Hard call when you want to let them know though. We are doing playdoh here whilst I lie on the sofa.

Congratulations on your scan Lily, you are due a week after me! Have you started telling people? I have (reluctantly) agreed to begin this. Feels like tempting fate but I can't make my poor DP keep secrets any longer, he hates it. It is hard as well, not having an excuse for being so tired / un-fun all the time.

Sorry you're having a hard time today Butterfly. I hope you've found things to do to pass the time as the day has gone on and that you're feeling a bit better. I have no idea how people do this when they've already got 1+ kids to look after. You have my admiration.

Gah. I felt better for approx 45mins mid afternoon so decided to have a shower. Spent the following hour lying very still on DD's bed whilst she played on the floor trying to calm the nausea back down. I've wimped out and called my parents - they are going to come over tomorrow and take her out. Then one more day on my own with her then DH is off on Friday and next week it is school again. Not looking forward to the school runs but at least she will be getting looked after and some stimulation.

Heya guys lovely to hear from you all again. Ahhh paws congratulations hun he is gorgeous.
Been through such a rough ride I've just got out of hospital spent the last few months in there as I went into labour and have not stopped contacting since. There's nothing they can do now I'm just resting and hoping my waters don't go so happy to be home though. east I couldn't read all your posts but was you told baby was small? There worried me so much baby's bpd is so small a week behind I'm 2 they said baby's measuring 26+4. His head has always been on the small side but I'm extra worried now. They don't seem worried though they haven't booked me in for a growth scan but I've come home worried sick.

Hope everyone else is OK and pregnancy is going good. Congratulations to everyone newly pregnant I hope your journey is a good one xxxx

Hi Keys so sorry you have been having a rough ride. No my baby has been OK for measurements thank goodness, but there have been several people on my antenatal thread had babies measuring small and they have caught up later on. Try not to stress my lovely.

butterfly and mac I feel for you with the morning sickness, mine's mild so far but may get worse. I'm finding it reassuring to notice pregnancy symptoms, the most recent arrival being sore nipples to go with my sore boobs. I was also reassured by a repeat pregnancy test yesterday that showed the test line matching the purple control line, I've never had such a strong line on my previous pregnancies and was nice to see it had got darker.

keys sounds like you've had a horrendous time, hope you can rest up and that it'll all be worth it when you hold your baby

whatser I was exactly the same with my last pregnancy - sick as a dog beginning to end. Had a mcc at 11.5 weeks. This pregnancy I've only been a little ill apart from last week when I was on antibiotics, then got a cold and had awful morning sickness Touch wood, this one is ok so far. I'm just taking security in the fact that the dog keeps cuddling me - last time he started getting really aggressive towards me and wouldn't even be in the same room as me. I think he knew something was wrong.

lily so lovely to see your scan.

I had a panic yesterday because I have been able to feel something hard above my pubic bone this past week. Yesterday I couldn't feel it. I panicked that my uterus had gone down so have contacted somewhere to have a scan! I know I'll regret the scan because I don't want to keep putting them on the baby but I'd regret it more if it was bad news and I didn't know about it

How full your bladder is will affect how high your uterus is too chelle - that's why they get you to drink a load of water before a scan, to lift the uterus out of the pelvis and make it easier to scan. Might just have been something like that?

lucky hurrah for the strong line! I tested daily for nearly two weeks watching the lines going darker. Now I feel so sick I've given up, I know I'm pregnant!

Had a better night, didn't wake with nausea until 4.30am this time but didn't really sleep after that. Have been feeling pretty shocking but it's eased a bit now. I've just been to the doctors (had to get my dad to drive me!) for my thyroid etc bloods to be done. I having a lie down again now.

Keys nightmare time, that sounds incredibly frightening and totally exhausting Have the contractions stopped now? Hope they are supporting you well.

Hi all, please can I join too? I need somewhere to ramble as I'm doing my own head in!

I'm on my 3rd attempt at a 2nd child - I've had a MMC at 11 weeks & a chemical pregnancy/super early mc last month. I now seem to be pregnant again (no period in between) but I'm not feeling v positive about it at all. I've had 3 days of v v v faint BFPs first thing which have turned to pretty invisible later in the day with those cheap internet sticks, a faint positive with a first response yesterday & I did a clearblue digital this morning with my second wee which says pregnant 1-2 (first wee with Internet cheapie was there but a real squinter)

If I hadn't been so jaded by my last 2 pregnancies I'd think all was fine but my lines aren't getting darker on the Internet cheapies & they should be. I've been here before :(

I hope everyone else is ok. No one gets how horrible this is unless they've been there.

Thanks for the reassurance tinkly and butterfly. I have been panicking a little. I've booked the scan for 8.30 am on Friday at the same place they scanned me for my mmc. It's such a beautiful place, a converted water mill. Almost the nicest place to receive bad news.

I think what's doing my head in is work is going quiet. My friends work days and I work evenings so i'm mostly just bumming around the house feeling sorry for myself. It doesn't give me any level of distraction.

Welcome princess I know lots of people test repeatedly but i wouldn't suggest it. I've not tested since i had my bfp because last time my levels were slow to rise and I'd rather not know. Equally, I don't think the ic's are all they're cracked up to be. I spent four days POAS and squinting at lines and on the fifth day bought a superdrug test which gave me a clear bfp. I know exactly how you're feeling though x

Thanks Chelle & Tinkly. I know that I can't change it either way but it's excruciating. I hope your scan goes well on Friday Chelle x

Excruciating is the word!!! This has been the longest four weeks of my life!

Aww tinkly I know it's hard, keep strong. Would it not be an idea to make contact with someone now? Just conscious that in 45 mins you might be into out of hours time.

tinkly Keep strong my lovely. I'd agree with macauley and see if you can ring someone. They may get you in for an early scan. Can DH come home to be with you? How heavy are you bleeding?

Tinkly I think feeling sick is definitely a good sign. With my MMC all symptoms suddenly stopped so I knew something was wrong. Fingers crossed for you xx
