New thread for TTC graduates - PinkB, MrsmcJ, Bodkin, Fettle, Chooster etc!

[KitKat30]

Hello! Thought we should leave those lovely TTCers in peace!!

Take care babymad - always here if you need us x

Just trying to catch up before signing off for a while.

Tili ? thank you for sending me your thoughts.

and you to DD1 good to hear that things are progressing with you, I have no info at all on your questions so I?ll leave that to the experts.

Thanks Babymad ? hope you are feeling better today, you take care. I?m not surprised the impact of yesterday has only just started sinking in. I hope your break helps, you know where to find us (and me if you want to email me). Chin up Mummy! Didn?t get a picture, guess they thought best not to.

Bodkin ? happy birthday! And to your DP! Enjoy your dinner you are right, there are some truly lovely ladies on here, I?d be having a much worse day if it wasn?t for you all. Thanks for your comments about the measurements, I can see where you?re coming from.

Thank you KitKat and to you PinkButterfly and Firststar and Stretchmarks.

Chooster ? the call with you earlier really helped, thank you for taking time out for me. Don?t know what I would do without you on this rollercoaster!

Greedy ? sorry for making you cry scone, and thank you for your research for me, I?ve only looked on here and it is very mixed. The midwife specifically told me not to go surfing! The sonographer was a bit frosty at first but when she saw how upset both DH and I she mellowed a bit and she did get a second opinion on the internal scan. I didn?t get the measurements earlier but I called back and was told the sac was 11.4mm making it about 5+5, almost exactly two weeks behind what I thought. I really wish my dates were wrong but I just can?t see how they can be really can you? Have a lovely, lovely well deserved holiday (and don?t eat anything dodgy).

Soaking up all your hugs, thank you all so much for caring so much about me.

Thanks for your support, check back in, in a few weeks, take care evryone, thinking of you all!

Bodkin not bath water or swiming, been happening for 2 weeks now at differant times of the day, me I thought (and truned out I was right) normal PG CM/CF, but hay, at least I got aother scan pic's!

See you all soon!

No chance to catch up fully ? just came to find out about MrsMc?s Scan.

Sweetheart, I am so sorry that you are having this uncertainty. I just thank God that you sound as you have a wonderful DH who you can lean on. All I can say is that I know how awful this next week is going to be and I can?t offer any advice, except keep talking to each other - you both need to be open and honest about your feelings. I?ve been through it twice ? once was ok and they saw a heartbeat at the next scan, in the other case I unfortunately had miscarried. I?m sure others have already said this, but please do not think that this has anything to do with anything you have done or not done. There is no rhyme or reason to any of it really. I just can?t believe it as so far you seem to have mirrored my early pg days with DD, complete with the early spotting and everything was ok with her in the end-I do so hope it will be the case with you too. I?ll be praying for you lots over the coming days.

Take care and look after yourself ?and eat as much of what you want when you want!

Love
F

Just logged on-
MrsMcJnr- I am so sorry you had a horrible time at your scan today. Stay strong and I really really hope that your babe will be fine. There is a very good chance that you will see a beating heart at the next scan- I read your other thread, and hopefully you will have been able to take some comfort from the positive stories on there. Your DH sounds a really great guy and I know you will both get through this, whatever the outcome. All my love. xx

Thank you all so much. I knew that you hadn't all heard when I left here yesterday so I popped back to read your posts (couldn't really sleep either if I'm honest). They are really good for the soul and all your support will get me through, I know it will. I might not be posting for a while but I will try and read from time to time. Please CAT me any of you if you have news, I don't want to miss what is happening to you all but at the same time, I just feel that I have to grind to a halt in my thinking about babies and accept limbo for a while. Take great care of yoursleves til I'm back xx

Hey MrsMc - we're both up at this ungodly hour and on MN together - though 'spect you've gone off now. Just been reading the really positive stories on the ohter thread so hope you can take some heart from that. Enjoy the wedding as best as you can and here's hoping the next 11 days fly by for you.

Thanks Bodkin, still here for a wee while, was just checking those other threads, lots of postive stories, I know what will be will be but those stories did restore the 50/50 balance as yesterday I just could not see how my dates could be out because of the BFP on 26/1 now I understand that the scan really just showed that it was too hard to call at this stage. I was having horrible chest pains last night, guess I really did get a nasty shock. The wedding is of a really close friend and another is staying with us, it was wonderful to have her with us last night (she knew I was pg as she was my accomplice at the hen the day I found out). We talked about anything but babies last night and had some good laughs. The best medicine for me. I am determined not to let negative thoughts spoil this wonderful day and I hope to show the pics to my darling baby one day and tell her (still think that) that she was there too take care hon x

Mrsmcjnr- I think taking a break from MN would be a really good idea. I think posting on here can be a bit intense at times. It is great and supportive, but it isnt real life. Real life is you and DH and the wedding and your friends. We will be waiting to hear from you when you feel like coming back.
Lots of love xx

Mrsmcjnr...I wasnt able to get onto mn last night so have just heard your news. I am so sorry things wern't as you expected. Hopefully at the next scan all will be well. My 1st scan showed just the sac with no yoke. I wasnt keen on an internal so decided to wait for 2 weeks on the advice of the consultant. However, 1 week and 4 days later I was having severe cramps and bachacke and was worried I was miscarrying again. So I went to the early preg clinic and they scanned me again. This time there was also a yoke sac, but still no heartbeat. I was then rescanned 4 days later and they just about made out the heartbeat. It was a hard time for us....all the waiting. Wishing you well and take time out from here if you feel like it. I have done this and it really helps.

lots of hugs going your way,

love dd1

MrsMcJnr, I am posting on a few different threads... just realised you are taking a wee break from mumsnet for a bit. Probably a good idea. I am ever the optimist (as you know!) so I am hopeful that all is well. All those stories were hopefully a great comfort.

I was so shocked when I came online this afternoon, and the temp buddies mentioned your link. And I am so cross with myself for not coming online last night, as I really want you to know I am thinking of you.

Take care of yourself flower.

Ready xx

Mrsmcjnr

Im so sorry that you and DH are left in this limbo situation. I really hope that everything will be ok for you both .
I understand about taking a break from MN.
You will be in my thoughts sweetheart and I sincerely hope that your beautiful baby is hanging on in there.

Take care hunny xxx

Well I guess we can only wait and see what happens for MrsMcJnr. I am glad she is taking a break.

How is everyone else?

I am starting to get more queasy as the days go by. I popped into a charity shop the other day and had to leave ASAP because the smell was SO bad, I thought I was going to hurl there and then! I love nosing about charity shops... but the smell of old clothes and old people was TOO much!
Also went to a lovely farm yesterday, but the smell of the pigs was like GROSS! Never usually like that! I was very good and steered clear of the lambs and ewes. DS and DD held a lamb- ahhhhh!!! Whilst I hovered outside the barn.
Then, I cleaned out the hamster- and the smell of wee and sawdust made me go very GREEN!

Am thinking of telling my sisters today about being PG. I am seeing them both, and together they are a force to be reckoned with, I wont be able to lie if they ask me!

Morning HoneyApple. Yes, the acute sense of smell thing in pg can be a bit much at times can't it. I must admit though I don't think I am suffering from it too bad with this pg.

Enjoy telling your sisters your lovely new today!

did you tell them honeyapple??? hope you had a nice day!

i have done nothing but STUFF MY FACE all day! i am going to look FAB in my bikini next week aren't i???!!!

one of my friends told me she is pg today! she only found out today and i am soooooooooooooo excited for her!!!!! our babies will only be 4 weeks apart and our last babies were 4 weeks apart too! its fab news, i am soooooooooo excited (did i mention that!!??!)

i have told millions of people that i am pg now! so much for waiting till 12 wks! i am hopeless!

not sure if i will get on here tomorrow or not, and then i am away for 2 weeks so i am going to miss so much! have a great few weeks everyone and take care of yourselves and your bumps!
if you read this mrs, i will be thinking of you, and your news will be the first thing i look for when i come back. good luck.

Hi Greedy. Just popped on briefly so in case you are not around tomorrow just wanted to say have a fabtastic hodilay! I am just so - wish it was me!

Greedy - have a blast on your hols - I'm sure you'll look fab in your bikini. That's great about your friend being due the same time - it does make it more fun if you've got a partner in crime to go through it with in RL doesn't it. I told loads of people straight away (not even 4 weeks gone!) but as a lot of people knew we were trying again, the minute I refused a glass of wine, the game was up anyway!

Honeyapple - you really are putting yourself through it arent you - Charidee shops, farms, hamster wee.... My god, I struggle with those at the best of times!

I have the cold from hell now. Both sinuses completely clogged, hot eyes, sore chest, achey limbs. Feeling very sorry for myself indeed. Plus I've got loads of windows to finish for Thursday, but really just feel pathetic. DP cooked a lovely sunday lunch today, and I could barely eat it. He has been a star today, taking DD out so I could snooze on the sofa and generally entertaining her all day, when he really wanted to get on with some work that he has to do. He's down his workshop now, bless him....

Hope everyone else has had a good weekend.

Hey - Greedy, have I missed you? so jealous of your impending holiday -how many weeks is a few, you going for longer than a fortnight? How quickly will time fly while you are away! I'm willing the next 3 weeks and 4 days to fly until my next scan - feels ages away. keep having moments when I don't feel as pg as other times, but i've passed both my mc milestones now (well at least I haven't had the spotting at the same point as with my 1st, so I have to hope all is still ok). Still not ready to change my name, I'm afraid - maybe I'll get more confident over the coming weeks, while you're away!!

Bodkin - sorry to hear you feeling ill - DH sounds great. I've got my Mum staying at the mo, as I have to go away for a night with work this week, so she is helping with DD. I've had a great weekend as she has been fantastic wtih DD and DD has been in a fantastic mood because my Mum is here!! Win-Win situation for all!!

Sorry not got longer to chat now - hope everyone else is doing ok.

speak soon
xx

Hi all,

Fettle - great news that you've pretty much passed your MC milstones... Hopefully as wach day goes by you will feel more confident (and closer to the scan!! ) Fab that your mum is with you as well

Greedy - I guess you've already gone on your fab holiday or you're running around the house like a mad thing trying to remember all those last minute things to pack - You'll have an amazing time and I'm SO jealous... I'm not even going try to be nice and hide it. Centreparcs for me next week (got to say I'm really excited about it )

Hey Bodkin - Sorry you are feeling rotten - hopefully its passing now and you can get stuck into those windows that need to be finished.

Things for me are going pretty well! My cold has finally gone - hoooray! and we had a lovely weekend. DS was on great form and we all had loads of fun. My mum came to visit on Sunday and I knew it was only a matter of time before she wanted to share her 'views' about names now we know it is a boy... I told her we'd already decided so she could suggest things if she wanted but it would change anything - and it would be a secret until the baby was born. If it was a cartoon she would have had steam coming out of her ears as she can't handle people keeping thigs from her....

Hi ladies - hope we are all well,

I havent posted for a while so please forgive me.
MrsMcJnr - Im not sure if you are still around but i am sorry you did not get the news you wished for on friday. Just echoing what everyone said and they DO get it wrong, said my DS was due on the 1/11 and my dates had me TWO weeks later on the 11/11 ( and i knew i wasnt wrong) Son came along on the 15th and weigh only 7lb 10.... Goood Luck for the next few weeks ,do agree takingf a break from Mn does help as there have been times when i needed to stay away. It will be nice to see you back

Babaymad - Also hope that eveything is o.k - God what a scare you must have had, just relax and take it easy and hope to see you both back really soon

Greedy - Hope you have a great time , could really do with a holidau we are off to butlins in July really looking forward to it but i will be 34 weeks and i think if i go onto the beach greenpeace will be trying to get me back in the water!!!!

Fettle - Gald you are past your stages, not long to go now!

Hi to everyone else , chooster, my family sounds like yours , when you really like a name they really know how to put you off sometimes, I liked the name Darcey for a girl and what did my sister do......... call her dog it ,then i said i liked the name Noah for a boy and all she did was take the piss out of it , it does annoy me as i didnt say anything when she spelt my neices name "wrong"

Evening all,

Well I did tell my sisters yesterday about being PG- they were very excited about it and pleased for me.
Then of course, I had to tell my mum and dad...
DP still has not told any of his family though.
But now the question is when to tell DC (they are 8 and 4)-
wait until 12 weeks?
or, wait until I am showing? (probably not until 16 wks or so)

Hope everyone is well.

Hi everyone.

Fettle, that's great that you've passed some milestones. Keeping those fingers crossed for the next 3 weeks or so for you...

Chooster - cor, your mum must be dying to know what the name is (I'm pretty curious myself!!!) I'm sure you'll have a fab time at Centerparcs - is it your first visit? Which one are you going to? We've had an absolute blast both times we've been (to Longleat). The best bits have been the pools (of course) especially the outside one that is lovely and warm this time of year, and quite magical once it gets dark outside. And also whizzing around on bikes everywhere. It's a great feeling of freedom. And collapsing in front of the telly, exhausted, after putting the kids to bed later than we should have done (9pm most nights!) The benefit being that they all slept in until about 8.30 the next morning, they were exhausted too!

Hey Firsty - sorry to hear your feeling crap - hope things aren't getting on top of you too much. We're here for you if you need a moan...

Honeyapple - I just posted on another thread about when to tell the kids. I told my DD very soon after finding out. Thought she would be completely bored of the concept by now, but she seems to understand there's a long way to go yet, and I've got to get much fatter first! I think it was just that me and DP had told so many other people (or they had guessed) that we thought it better
