ditto neenz. you ignoring us mad ladies?

Neenzandhertwinbeans · 26/02/2008 16:43

No, don't be daft! . I can't log on to Facebook at work (where I am now) and at home I use my DH's laptop which he takes to work every day and often works on in the evenings. So it's not so easy for me to get on Facebook. So I might not log on till the weekend but I promise I will deffo be your friends then!!!

DonDons · 26/02/2008 18:14

brilliant news ronshar and good luck tomorrow Kate! x

kate2179 · 26/02/2008 19:19

Ok neenz, friend request sent! My initials are KF - am on facebook under my maiden name. Once you say yes to the other lovely ladies I will have to try to work out who's who! Maybe you could put something cryptic about how you know each other or something?

I left a message for the EPU this morning asking for a scan thursday or friday and they left me a message back offering thursday 9am - can't say fairer than that! Although I do feel a bit like I've been given my appointed time to face the firing squad... Really hoping all is well, and that if it is I will feel a bit more reassured by this scan than the last one... Am hoping the reason I didn't feel particularly reassured last time was due to my GP putting the fear of god into me about mc-ing between 8 & 9 weeks (I was 8+4 for the scan) rather than being due to some sort of 6th sense... We shall see... COME ON BEANIE, YOU CAN DO IT!! Have started having to undo my suit jacket so am hoping that's a good sign. It is pretty small, I only bought it in January thinking it would be a good insentive to make sure I didn't put any weight on...... or maybe I just bought it so that sods law would make me pg again !

Whoever said that about me worrying about the little things too much is absolutely right of course... but in a way it sort of stops me having too much time to worry about the big things if that makes sense... (Am mad...)

oinker · 26/02/2008 19:38

KATE

I understand. I have my scan in the morning at 0930 and am getting really nervous. Am home alone tonight DH is at work until eleven.
I am feeling sick. Not sure if its beanie or just me starting to panic. How am I going to get through this?

DonDons · 26/02/2008 19:39

Good news Kate - at least you can look towards Thursday now...

I meant to say good luck to Oinker for tomorrow on previous post (brain strikes again)

have sent friend request to neenz and makecakes - not too difficult to work out who I am once we get on there!

splishsplosh · 26/02/2008 20:32

Good luck Oinker for tomorrow - really hope everything is OK

And good luck Kate for Thursday - fingers and toes crossed for you both

Good luck Oinker!! So sorry I didn't say that before... I will look forward to logging on and reading your good news when I get back from work. You WILL get through this, we both will. Slowly and one step at a time, with everyone here to hold our hands. I have everything crossed for both of us

kate2179 · 26/02/2008 22:40

Oooooo! So exciting! Just been looking at Neenz and her new friends on facebook (now we are officially friends ) and trying to work out who is who... Albs I know one of them must be you, any clues?? I recommend it oinker - excellent diversion tactic! xx

kate2179 · 26/02/2008 22:43

Really hope I have guessed right for dondons and makecakes otherwise 2 poor ladies are going to wonder what on earth is going on...

KashaSarrasin · 26/02/2008 23:25

Good luck oinker for tomorrow - wishing you all the best!

becklespeckle · 27/02/2008 00:18

Good luck Oinker x

Jules, if it helps at all, DD had many quiet days when I was pg, especially if she had had a couple of 'busy' days. She is the same since she has been born, couple of wide awake days then a sleepy day or two to recover.

Ellie, I had (and still have) dreams like that! Not long until you will get to see what LO looks like, I was very impatient too meet baby, the body is very clever at making us ready to give birth even though we know it will hurt!

Fab news Ronshar! Don't feel bad about your white lie, it should be made routine to scan ladies with previous losses early anyway.

jess1996 · 27/02/2008 07:43

Hi ladies, can I join you? I'm currently 5+5 weeks. I've been ttc my first baby for 18 months. Had a mmc of twins last February and an ep last August. Everything seems to be going ok so far this time, although I have a lot of mild af-like pains and other twinges. I have a scan booked for a week on Friday when I will be 7 weeks. I am so scared of another ep or another mmc.

makecakesnotwar · 27/02/2008 08:34

Welcome Jess and good luck to those having scans today.

KAte- you found me on FB, so feel free to breathe a sigh of relief

alittlebitshy · 27/02/2008 09:26

kate - on facebook i'm on both neenz and makescakes lists. initials KCT

oinker · 27/02/2008 12:38

Not good news ladies..
I just knew this would happen.

Beanie has not grown much. There is a slow hearbeat (again!) Sac has a kink in it too.... All of these are bad things. Prof was really good and explained there is no chance of this being a sucessful pregnancy. Just to make matters worse..I nearlly passed out at the hospital. I injected my heparin this morning and may have hit a nerve. The pain is excruciating. I could not bend down to put my trousers back on.
Anyway....Am going out with a freind later. I intend on having a drink and forbidden foods.
I have another scan booked for tuesday at 0900hrs. This should show a definate miscarraige. I will not be having a D&C. Prof was cool with that.

Thanks for all the support ladies.
Keep those beanies safe.

makecakesnotwar · 27/02/2008 12:50

Oinker- so very very sorry. Thinking of youand sending my love.

bethoo · 27/02/2008 13:05

oh i am so sorry Oinker, take care

EllieG · 27/02/2008 13:36

Am so sorry oinker, this must be heartbreaking for you. Am thinking of you and your DH and send lots of love.

rainrain · 27/02/2008 13:41

Oinker, so sorry my heart goes out to you. Take care of yourself.

perkypopsy · 27/02/2008 13:42

Hi Oinker, so so sorry to hear that - life is so unfair - and baby making is much harder than everyone makes it out to be. I have loved the support of being on this thread but your news makes me doubly aware that many of us are still in really early days - I am sending huge hugs - a good boozy night out with your friend sounds perfect!

perkypopsy · 27/02/2008 14:29

neenz, albs and MCNW I think I have just poked you all? (sniggers popsy)

alittlebitshy · 27/02/2008 14:43

oops - i've just sent you a message pops asking basically who the heck you are!

lol.

add me as a friend. pleeease
xx

perkypopsy · 27/02/2008 14:51

I just thought you were MCNW - now I know! We are now officially "FB friends" yay (though FB should get into emoticons - is very hard to express yourself without them)
