[sundayraspberry]

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

Aw that's great news tinkly.

I'm sure excitement will take over soon and your husband will be fine. Enjoy the day :-) apart from the sickness hehe.

Hi all just catching up! Lovely DH took me off on holiday for a week as a surprise. I've repaid him by spending most of my time either sleeping or with my head down the loo

Congrats tinkly that's brilliant news!

Brilliant news, Tinkly!

Congrats Tinkly! Such fantastic news! Xxx

Can I have a moan? I'm 7+1 today. I told a couple of close people at work as I was struggling with tiredness and nausea. Everyone at work knows about my mmc because I had to take a week off. Anyway, one of the people who knows has made several comments about how much I'm eating and it's getting to me. Today I've eaten: one plum tomato and a slice of wholemeal toast (no butter) for breakfast. A couple of hours later I felt hungry to had half of my cheese ploughman's sandwich and some melon. At lunch I ate the rest of my sandwich, some crisps and an orange. Evening meal was a medium jacket potato, salad and cheese and beans. I eat breakfast at work and the comment this morning was suggesting it was a big breakfast. I feel really self conscious and lardy. I am bloated, my tummy pops out towards the end of the day and when I sit I have a little bump. I was the same with dd but it was water and it went down at around 15 weeks. I'm already worried enough that it could be a molar pregnancy due to getting 2-3 on a cbd when I was 4 weeks pregnant. Now I'm worried my bloated tummy is a bad sign. And I feel fat.

Evening meal yesterday I mean^ Am I eating too much?

Whatsername17 what a load of rubbish and how rude. I and feeling really nauseus and tired, the only way I get through the day is by eating regularly all day which makes me feel like I'm eating loads. You sound like you are eating fine.
I'm sorry I cant comment on the molar except to say it is rare. I had one in January and I had absolutely none of the signs, I'm sure you will be ok (sorry that wasn't very reassuring...what does cbd mean?) xx

I havn't written since I signed up on this board, I was feeling all positive and fine but pregnancy tiredness and emotions have caught up with me. I have 1 week until my booking in appointment and 4 until my early scan and it feels like AGES away. I have been really sick and tired and my DH keeps saying I look pregnant which scares me as the last was a molar.
Also my antenatal friends from DS1 are all going out for dinner on the night of my scan. I'm going to providing it all is well but feel a bit bad for leaving DH at home alone maybe we should be celebrating. Or maybe we'll save that for the 12 week scan.

whatser you eat when you want and what you want! Some people are just dicks.

In comparison I had melon for breakfast it didn't stay down for long, then had a burger for lunch, just had a hot dog for a snack and fully intend to have dinner too (all inclusive btw so taking full advantage as I've not had any drinks).

Cbd- clearl blue digital. In terms of calories, I've only consumed 800 calories before my evening meal. I'm annoyed and hurt. They know what I've been through and how scared I am. I shouldn't be worrying about my weight too.

900 calories I mean. Need to stop typing when sad!

Whats that's incredibly rude of her. I just posted a massive list of everything I ate yesterday (I mean massive ) but I lost it. I'm not going to write out again, it's too long, but suffice to say it must have been about four times as much as you ate. Not that it matters as it's none if her business anyway. Eating is good! Keep it up!
Not much news here although movements are getting a bit more distinct which is lovely.

Whatser some ppl think it's their place to hand out "advice", regardless of whether it was requested or not. Ignore them, they are being a knob. Also your day of eating seems ridiculously healthy and restrained, well done!

I've put on half a stone since my last pregnancy and mc, and was sabotaging my attempts to lose it by eating every cake, biscuit and chocolate that came my way. Since my bfp I've been eating super healthy, but have found that my appetite is huge. I've had to start making my own salads cos I found the Greggs salads too stingy and was starving afterwards. And have been taking 2 packets of popcorn to work cos I hadn't realised they only weighed 9g each, FFS who can possibly feel satisfied after consuming only 34 calories! Anyhow, I'm eating loads, but don't feel over full and have lost half a pound, probably cos I'm not eating crap anymore.

How's everyone else doing this Friday? I'm currently lying on the sofa with a blooming stomach ache (damn you, trapped wind!), feeling knackered and slightly guilty for not doing the washing up like DH asked.

I'm having take away. Dh has insisted . Thanks everyone. I'm so anxious. Midwife appointment is on Monday and she will arrange a scan. So terrified that it will all go wrong again.

I think about the cbd that as far as I know your hcg levels are sky high in a molar so thought you'd have measured later in a test rather than earlier for a molar. That's on reason I'm hopeful for this pregnancy my tests were really faint

Congratulations on your positive scan, Tinkly, that's excellent news. It must be such a relief to get to the point where you can see a head and limbs and hear a heartbeat.

Whatser, no way are you eating excessively. You need to eat more often, most guidance I've seen suggests 6 small meals a day, during first trimester, particularly if you are feeling nauseous.

I have not had great news today. Had my second blood test to check hcg levels. Test results today show my HCG risen from 1100 on Wednesday to 1310 today, which isn't enough (they should double). That indicates strongly that this pregnancy isn't viable. I have another scan on 20th June which should confirm that. Then it will be a case of waiting for the miscarriage. I am in the curious position of knowing that the pregnancy is pretty much over, but I am still pregnant. And still feeling pregnant (still got v sore boobs).

I have no idea how long this unproductive pregnancy will continue, but I expect it's going to be an odd two or three (or four or five - who knows?) weeks whilst I wait for it to come to an end.

I was only 4 weeks when I got 2-3. With my previous pregnancies I got 1-2 at the same stage. At 5 weeks I got 3+. Seemed early to get those readings. I did two cheap superdrug tests in between those and neither were as dark as the control line. I don't know. I'm just fearful I think. Everything I've read seems to suggest you can have high hcg and all be fine. I should be referred for a scan next week so will know for sure.

Yorkshire we must have cross posted. I'm so sorry to hear your news. Fingers crossed that on the 20th you get a positive outcome and the bloods are just an anomaly.

Yorkshire sorry to hear you're going through this, fx your bean is one of those awkward ones that doesn't follow the guide book and then turns up waving and bouncing at the next scan like nothing was ever in doubt . I had something similar in February, unfortunately my bean was blighted ovum and the uncertainty was the worst. Am here for hand holding and mugs of .

I had my first pregnancy scare yesterday, left work early because I had a stomach ache that just got steadily worse until about 9pm. I was having really painful stomach cramps, my hips were aching and I just felt awful. There was no fanjo cramps or any blood so I was pretty sure it wasn't another MC, but rang the community MW team because I needed some reassurance. The MW was absolutely lovely and helpful, and gave me advice about self-care and to go to A&E if I started bleeding. At 9:30pm I let out a huge fart, oh my god, the relief!

Of anyone has any tips on managing killer trapped wind as I don't think DH was too impressed by my lying on the sofa all evening like a half dead corpse ams then being right as rain once I pass an inordinate amount of wind.

Also really sorry to read your update yorkshire isn't there something about fluctuating levels where it can dip on the way up? Don't want to give you false hope when your in limbo though, hope the scan clears things up.

whats my tests have been stronger at each stage with this pregnancy too but I've taken it as a positive thing. Think twins can cause higher hcg too? My most recent test was on thurs when I think I was 6 weeks and it showed 3+ on a cbd so not going to do any more tests as there's nowhere higher for them to go.

mimi that sounds scary but very relate-to-able. I recommend butterfly's post a few pages back for tips x

Thanks for the reminder about Butterfly's post, have just read back. It turns out that I must have filed that away under useful info as I'd tried all that and when it didn't work, I panicked and called the MW. The trapped wind seems to be worse on the days I drive to work rather than cycle so I guess I need to just make sure I'm being active throughout the day. Does anyone know if it eases off in trimester 2?

I'm 5+6 today, another 2 weeks until my scan. The MW offered to get me in for an earlier scan last night, half tempted to fake another trapped wind incident 'cos I'm getting impatient to see if this bean is a sticky one. My friend asked about my scan yesterday and remarked how quickly time was passing, I really wish I could have her perception of time right now.

Yorkshire I'm sorry you are in the horrible limbo land of waiting for confirmation of what you already know. Exactly one year ago I was in the same boat and had surgical management on 17th June. Hope the wait passes quickly x

Great to hear from you keys and tho you've had a rough few weeks it must be reassuring that you're nearly at 30 weeks!

Congratulations on the scan tinkly

Peppermint tea all the way Mimi!

Coming up to 35 weeks here, struggling to sleep and little Raspberry is fidgeting about a lot and it can be quite uncomfortable at times but wouldn't change a thing. Having a few wobbles when I worry about not coming home with a baby but trying to put it to the back of my mind and enjoy these few weeks left x
