[Uki]

Thanks for the thread name Purplelostprincess

MrsMc I think "Not like a virgin" would be more suitable!

bumpkin32 Congrats! You must be so pleased.

We are off to France on Saturday so I apologise if I dont get on here again for awhile. Love to all.

Ladies I am bowing out yet again.

Scan showed Beanies heart had stopped.

I opted for a D&C this morning. all went to plan am feeling a little sore otherwise I am fine.

I wish all of you healthy pregnancies and look forward to seeing pictures of your beautiful babies.

GOOD LUCK and HUGS..

Thanks for all the kind words and support.

Hi everyone

I've been away so long I couldn't find you! Been hijacked by holidays & internet being down at home but most disruptively HIDEOUS HIDEOUS morning sickness of the sort that doesn't even have the decency to make you vomit so everyone can see how bad you feel. And didn't want to come on here and moan endlessly about how awful pregnancy is having spent the last few months moaning about not being pregnant so felt safer staying away

Torres - so excited to see you here! You're one of the first names I remember from the ttc after mc thread and I'm so glad so many of us do end up here after all (and fingers crossed stay here!)

Anyway, I'm 10 weeks now with another scan in 12 days (not that I'm counting). It seems to help to think of this as Week 11 rather than 10 weeks as Week 11 suggests there's only 1 week to go before I can stop lying to all my friends and telling the truth about why I permanently have the flu.

Congratulations to all of you who've just passed the 12 week mark! Can't wait to join you.

Great news Bumpkin

Winky ? quite ? after TTC for so long, there is no doubt in my mind that I am now one! enjoy France!

Oinker I am so very sorry life is so unfair and I hope your lick changes very, very soon x

Siameez ? sorry to hear you felt so sick, my MS was (and is when it comes back from time to time) like that ? I was hardly ever sick, just felt it. I hope you feel much better soon. All the best for the scan

Oinker - I'm so so sorry, sweetheart - . Big hugs and thoughts {{{{HUGS}}}

Oinker - so sorry to hear - what a terrible time you're having.
Big Hugs

Oinker - so sorry hun My thoughts are with you and your family.

Bumpkin - that's wonderful news - I'm so pleased for you!

MrsMc - you really are wonderful! Please ligth a candle for Oinker

EJT - Wow what a day you had! But it all sounds so positive, and I hope those new pain meds manage to stay down.

Hello to everyone else (sorry no time for bumper posts lol)

oinker - so ... you take care and heal!

Just a very quick post (after my marathon yesterday!) to let you know that I picked up a TENS machine today from the physios, and I have it on now on the bottom of my back - and I can honestly say that I am pain-free for the first time in months! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

MrsMc - the next time you come to Cardiff, we will go and throw flowers into the bay in memory of (all) our lost los.

fettle - I'll still have that image of all of you behind me when I go into the ANC!

Hi to everybody else, am going to watch some crap tv now!

so sorry oinker, lots of love and hugs

So sorry oinker, lots of love and hugs to you x

I have decided to ask for a scan next week, I can't bear to wait another month for my 12 week one, and although I know it could still go wrong after 8 weeks, I would like to see the LO alive once, so would be worth it. And if it isn't alive I would rather know. Am going to doc on tues so hopefully will get scan wed. Good news though in that I spoke to my therapist and if it gets that far she will support me in applying for the longer maternity leave, 26 weeks, that you only get for special circumstances here. Usually you get 18 weeks (crap in Jersey not half as good for PG ladies as UK) but she reckons because am a bit of a mentalist from time to time and had a MC before I should get that easily, which would ease things financially somewhat.

Oinker - so sorry to hear your news... Take it easy and hope that you reappear on this thread soon for a much longer stay...

EJT - it must be bliss to be pain-free after so long. I remember what a relief it was when I had an epidural with ds so have at least an inkling of how you might be feeling!!

Bumpkin - pleased to hear that you had a positive scan. It's not that far away now until the next milestone, is it?

EllieG - good idea to get an early scan. I did with this one. Remember, if you get a hb at 8 weeks, your chances of having a subsequent m/c are only 0.4% so although no guarantee, very, very encouraging...

Feeling absolutely shattered here. Pregnancy insomnia has kicked in with a vengeance this week. I am probably only getting about 3 hours sleep a night and ds had a very unsettled night last night - dh was away overnight - so was up about 5 times with him. Plus I felt really sick with hot flushes yesterday evening and started to get all paranoid that things might be about to go horribly wrong for bubba... See, the worrying really never does stop. I was so relieved this morning to feel it move and am now torn between wanting to get it out asap so there is no risk of things going wrong and wanting it to stay in for as long as possible so it can be born as strong as possible. Think I'm tending more towards the latter as I feel too whacked out to go through labour at the moment...

Oinker I am very sorry for your loss. Wishing you all the best, and hope to meet you on this thread again soon.

I am just hoping to send you all a little ray of sunshine Can you tell my husband is back?

just a quick post

Oinker...I am so sorry

Got scan date thru(although doesn't seem appropriate to post today) next thursday 3:30

Oh Oinker
I am so sorry, I really thought it would work out this time. It must be so devastating to see the HB and then lose it. The doctores surely MUST have learned somehting from this?! Will they do tests on the cells from the ERPC to learn what went wrong? You have the all clear from your consultant, don't you? But it happened so often that it can't be bad luck anymore? I am so incredibly sorry.

Just caught this....Oinker, Im so so sorry to hear your news hun

rest up and be kind to yourself.

i hope you can get some answers as to why it keeps happening and all the best for trying again in the future.

{{{{{hugs}}}}}

Oinker, great big hugs coming your way. I wish there was more that any of us could say. Take care of yourself. xxxx

Oinker hon, you are in my thoughts and I will light a candle for your lost bean xx

Ejt ? lovely idea about the flowers, let?s do that Great that you are pain free, fab!

EllieG ? if you feel you?d like a scan, it?s worth having hon Didn?t realise that Jersey had different mat provisions.

Mumpbump ? sorry to hear you are so tired

MOM ? glad you got your date

I THINK I had a bit of nausea today.....yay!!!!

Wasn't horrendous but I never had it particularly bad with dd.

Got Dr's appt on Tues so hopefully will get scan date thru for 12 weeks. I don't know whether to be 'economical with the truth' and pretend I don't know when I conceived so that I could get an earlier scan??? If you get an earlier one, say 8 or 9 weeks, do you then still get one at 12 weeks or is it in lieu of???

Hope you are all well. Oinker, so very sorry to hear your news. XXXXXXXXXXX

Evenin' all. Spoke to my GP this afternoon and she has booked me in for a scan next thurs at 11.45, so am crossing my fingers for then....(nervous emoticon)

goodcatholicgirl - so weird when we're all really excited about feeling sick and tired! But happy for you anyway x

GCG...I think that scans vary from PCT to PCT. In my area i was tld that an 8 weekish scan would replace the 12/13 weeks one. I decided not to ask for an early one as wanted to know form the "safe" time iyswim?

EllieG..have only just got your name how many weeks will you be when you have your scan?

mom - you lucky thing getting your scan through, they still havent given me mine yet! im going to be 13 weeks at least at this rate. i saw our post about staying off the antnatal thread and cant help but agree a bit, its nice that they can be so positive but when people are leaving at what seems like one a day its bloody difficult. i think ill probly start going back on there when ive had my scan then i may feel more able to join in with the 'positivity police' (there words not mine)

hi to veryone else xx

I will be 13 weeks when i have my scan spugs. If you have heard nothing by monday and know they definatly scan at 12 weeks where you are then i would ring the ultrasound dept and see if your appt has been 'lost in the post'

I signed off the march thread because its only a matter of a time before i lose it over telling ppl to be positive. Fair enough they don't understand the gripping, comstant fear after a mc but to tell ppl who are in th emiddle of losing their LO's to be positive or the positivity police would get them is out of order imo. I already feel i can't post my own worrieds on there

they scan us between 11 and 13 weeks here, just want it to hurry up - feel like ill be able to relax a bit once is see everythings fine.

i remember having that lovely innocence of pregnancy when i had my first, wish i could get it back.

on a lihter note ive eaten 3 bags of haribo and am feeling quite sick (they were small) and thats supposed to be a puking face

hi not sure if i should join in or not?
earlier this week was sure i'd had a missed mc as my tiredness/nausea went overnight. thought i was 9wks, had scan at epc yesterday told i'm 8 +2 saw bb's HB on scan.
will be getting scan at 12/13 wks for 'booking in appt' but still worried as i had a missed mc at 19wks with my 1st preg.
does this worry ever go away??

sorry, just realised that my nickname is 'positive', hope i havent offended any of you stupid when i think about it now but didn't it at the time, sorry
