evening all

MCNW, good luck for tomorrow, you'll be fine!

jules who needs bouncing boobies? they just get in the way

ellie, dont feel bad, you said the right thing!

well, not too good today, had a tiny bit more brown today, did a HPT and bfn, so think i'll be leaving. but obv not another mc. think a chemical pg. strange thing is, i still feel pg. no backache or cramps, feel sooooo sick and hormonal and had a few light-headed spells today. i really dont know whats going on. wish that if af is coming and beanie didnt stick around it would just get over with. sorry if this brings everyone down, but shall retire from this thread til i know for definate. x

splishsplosh · 06/02/2008 20:20

sorry Lissie - got everything crossed still though, hoping for the best. Seems odd to have so many pg feelings, but bfn - it is possible to have false -ives though, isn't it?

feedmenow · 06/02/2008 21:22

Hope it's only a very temporary retirement lissie. xxx

Justjules, this is LO no. 3 for me and I don't get the big boobies ever! I mean, they get bigger according to my bra size, but nowhere near in proportion to my bump, so they look even smaller than usual The only time they seem to be great is when b/feeding and they look fabby (when full) and stand pertly on their own and everything. Real Page 3 girl stuff (only a page 3 girl with an excess of flabby skin on tummy, big bags under eyes, hair falling out and baby vomit down back!) However, my bum on the other hand, always seems to get HUGE!

Makecakes, hope tomorrow goes well. xx

Welcome newbies (even those who have only paid EXTREMELY fleeting visits...)

And big hugs to everyone else. xxx

sweetkitty · 06/02/2008 22:48

Evening all

Lissie - sorry about you retiring - hope you are out of retirement real soon, when is your AF due?

jules - my boobs have only gotten a little bigger so far more perkier though which they needed after BFing 2 DDs.

OracleInaCoracle · 06/02/2008 23:22

friday, but bleeding now. still no cramps but pretty sure that beanie didnt hold on tightly enough. still, was never really here anyway. good luck all! mwah

DoingItAgain · 07/02/2008 10:54

makecakesnotwar · 07/02/2008 14:37

Ola ladies- back from the scan- all good, which is a relief as 24 weeks today. Having a girl!!!!!!!!

Julezboo · 07/02/2008 14:47

congrats on your little girl!!!! I can't wait to get that far!!!

kate2179 · 07/02/2008 15:01

Sorry to see you go lissie, hope you're back soonest.

Fantastic news makescakes, a little girl! One of my closest friends had a little girl at 2.24 this morning! Amelia Rose! Can't wait to go and see them, just been buying BEAUTIFUL baby girl stuff in town, going to make her up a lovely box.

Despite the above, am feeling a bit today, and would really welcome some reassurance if anyone has the time. I spoke to my gp this morning about tuesday's scan. She said she was very surprised (so was I!) but that while it was good news we aren't out of the woods yet and that she wouldn't put any money on the pregnancy succeeding (I did ask for her opinion, wish I hadn't now) She also said that the vast majority of mc's happen at 8 weeks. I'm 7 weeks today, so if I wasn't scared enough already I am now! She's suggested another scan at 9 weeks and says if that's successful we can start to feel more optimistic. BUT I WANT TO FEEL OPTIMISTIC NOW!!!! I never thought having a baby would be the hardest thing I would ever have had to go through...

On a more positive note she said that the weird blood results could mean that it was twins and one didn't make it, hence v high levels to start with, then falling. Who knows. Not having any more bloods done though, that's for sure! Obv losing a baby isn't positive, but I mean positive in the sense that that's an explanation which wouldn't mean there was anything wrong with the baby we still have IYSWIM....

Please make me feel better ladies, I'll supply cake! xx

belgo · 07/02/2008 15:02

so sorry to hear this Lissie. I was really hoping this time would work out for you.

sweetkitty · 07/02/2008 15:51

lissie - don't have any words that feel right but I am thinking of you ((((hugs))))

jules - good luck with the swimming I have promised I will take DD2 swimming next week as we won't get the chance once DB3 is here so want to spend some quality time with her one on one.

makescakes - great news about your scan and having a little girl too

kate - hang on in there, don't give up hope until the last possible minute, your bean has got this far it's a fighter. FWIW I thought the majority of mcs happened earlier than 8 weeks, apparently if you have a heartbeat at 8 weeks you have a >95% of the pregnancy continuing. I think it can take a few weeks for your body to catch up and realise the baby has died IYSWIM.

Julezboo · 07/02/2008 15:56

Kate it all seems like great news for me! I just went back and re read all your posts! Not sure whats going on with your HCG though are they sure they went down or did they mix them up

Well spotting has practicallt stopped and I managed to keep maccied's down

roll on 5pm when DP gets home...

Kate and Lissie - hugs to you both

makecakes (you're still flossie to me) - a girl! yay!

jules....my boobs exploded at 12 weeks ish - from 34c to...... 36FF. Nothing to brag about - they're horrendous!

EllieG · 07/02/2008 19:31

lissie - hugs to you lady. Hoping your stay away is short xxx

makecakes - fab news about scan!

kate - have everything crossed for your little beanie x

I love ante-natal swimming jules - think is the only time I can move freely and not feel uncomfy!

bethoo · 08/02/2008 09:56

justjules and Kate- i bumped into mw yesterday after seeing gp who said that most m/c are between 8- 9 weeks as that is where the placenta takes overand the corteus lineum (something like that) dies (the part of egg which attaches to uterus. she advised me to re test at 9 weeks as i have no symptoms and foetus could have been re absorbed into my body. damm such regular AFs for finding out so bloody early!!!
Congrats makescakes - i hope i get that far in the future if not with this one.

ronshar · 08/02/2008 11:25

Hello everyone.
I am at swimming. I would get thrown out if I tried to join at the moment.
I am booked in with midwife when we get back from snowboarding. We shall see if she will let me have a scan. I will be 7+1 so perfect time for scan. I am making a huge assumption that I will need one!!

I hope every one has an uneventful week and I shall be chanting to myself from the mountain top.
Healthy and well.Healthy and well.

Julezboo · 08/02/2008 13:22

im bowing out girls cons says i will mc, sac is an odd shape, getting pains already good luck all....

alittlebitshy · 08/02/2008 13:23

oh julez
Sorry to lose you. Take care
xx

makecakesnotwar · 08/02/2008 16:02

Take care Julez...

Dondons- I had 36F boobs before I got pregnant. Now a 38G and growing...would say to JJ be careful what you wish for- big boobs= very expensive (and not always that attractive) underwear!

God, I'm knackered. What a crap day I've had.
