[LackaDAISYcal]

New thread for knicker checkers every where

Off to catch up with and link the old thread.

missE/sfxmum - so sorry to hear your news. Take care of yourself and give yourself all the time you need. Hope you are able to get that referral and join us here again when you are ready.

So sorry to hear your news Missedith

MM - thinking of you, and have everything crossed for Thursday

Aquababe - glad you've had some positive news

Dan definitely sounds like could be the early movements, 1st time round it took me a while to be sure that was feeling, but once I was sure I knew I'd actually felt them for a couple of weeks already

Oh missedith I am so sorry. Take care of yourself and have time to grieve before making any desisions about what's next - its you that matters at this sage. I am so, so sorry. Take care.

This STAGE not sage....d'oh...

missedith really sorry to hear this, look after yourself and get over this first before thinking about the future.

Bollocks just wrote a long post then lost it!!

mm thinking of you - hang in there, how are you today?

miss edith still thinking of you too - take care and be good to yourself.

I have a scan today and am as a lot of you will know, anxious as usual about it. Am 21 weeks and have a belly that makes funny nioses/movements (?maybe?) but I am STILL scared that there will be that hideous silence when they look at the screen.

Will try to be positive, and focus on finding out if they do think its a girl - scan 2 weeks ago he was unsure but we didn't ask him til end. Two whole weeks I have kept it secret - amazing for me! Who says old dogs can't change to new spots (or something.....)

You all made me both sigh and chuckle re comments about dh's/dp's. daisyj he actaully has the From Here to Paternity book, but we got it before mmc and I think he is superstitious about reading 'on' in case we don't get there. He has done a few 'it says in my book...' usually about things like scooping poo out of a birth pool. I need to get the man to some classes, I reckon.

Anyway off for the scan, will cjeck in later.

PS ronshar lol re lady gardening! How you and other nearly ladies doing?

MissE so sorry you are going through this

rainrain and ronny - any news? Nothing doing here - is funny how you start to feel over due before your DD...6 days to go

MissE . sorry your worst fears were founded, and I wish you every success for the future.

Take care of yourself and fingers crossed we'll see you back here before too long. Sorry lovely, {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}

will catch up later, off to minimovers in a bit and DD is still asleep and needs some lunch!

Miss Edith. I am so sorry for you and DH. I hope you get some answers from your doctors soon.

No news here. Midwife thinks that as had two overdue babies before chances of early one is very unlikely. I am grumpy now. But aware that still have lots to be grateful for so shall stop moaning.

Dan39. I am in awe of your ability to keep your secret. My DH laughed when I suggested that I find out the sex and keep it to myself. He told me I wouldnt be able to get out of the scan room without telling him He is right so we didnt find out!

Hope everyone else is well.

Hello WMMC thank you for your crash the other day. It made me smile. Keep thinking those positive thoughts for me.

missEdith - I am very sorry to hear your news. Please take care of yourself.

Today I finally got hold of the right person at the hospital and I have now got a date for my first scan. 8th October, so will be about 8 weeks or so by then. Gulp. Feeling a bit nervous about it. At first DH said he couldn't come because of work but looks like he can come with me now. I think I may be having the consultant do the scan which is a bit and . He was really lovely last time.

MissEdith So sorry to hear your news I was hoping for a different outcome - hope to see you back again soon if you decide to try again and hopefully you'll get a referral too.
mm Keeping my fingers crossed for you on Thursday.
Ronshar, rainrain and Popsy Sending lots of positive labour vibes your way - it's a race to the finish now
Not much to report here - 34 week scan on Thursday to check fetal kidney dilation which was picked up at 20 week anomaly scan. It had reduced considerably when I had a 4D scan a few weeks ago so fingers crossed that is still the case.

dan - hope all OK with the scan - thinking of you.

ronshar - lol on the secret-keeping. My DH said the same, so we've decided not to find out, as he really doesn't want to know and I think a surprise might be fun. I'm told that being a control freak is at odds with having kids , so I suppose I might as well start relinquishing it now!

cece - great to have a date for your scan, and that they are going to be taking good care of you. It's nice to have a landmark to look forward to.

cricri good luck for your scan on Thursday, too.

Just popping in to say that I haven't forgotten you all. Thinking of you all.

I'm struggling with sickness and need to go to bed now. Supposedly 9+5 today and haven't heard from the midwife yet

congrats to aquababe and hope all was OK dan.

We had our first appointment with the London specialist about the cyst yesterday and sadly it was not a pleasant experience. Consultant was very aloof and off-hand, not even bothering to make eye contact with me during the exceedingly long detailed scan she did of the baby and not explaining till near the end that it was taking so long because the baby's head was in a bad position. She barely bothered to explain her thoughts on the cyst to us at all and managed to combine not giving us much new information with giving us cause to think that the situation might be more serious than we had previously thought

The upside is that according to the measurements she took the cyst has not grown and may even be a bit smaller since last week, but we only found out that out by comparing the measurements on the reports we were given.

We have to go back in two weeks to see her again but this time with a paediatrician who will decide how the pregnancy will be managed from this point. Here's hoping that they will be at the very least more informative.

Oh missedith I?m so sad to hear your news. I was really hoping it would be ok. I hope you and your DH get through this sad time and really hope you will have an uneventful time next time if that is what you choose to do.

mm hope you are doing ok and hopefully Thursday brings us good news.

dan39 hope the scan went ok. And cece glad you got hold of someone and got a scan booked, good luck

dbno what a shame your consultant didn?t sound like she was very communicative, she must have missed lectures on communication >>

come on nearly there ladies you?re on the home stretch now, quick and easy labour thoughts to you all.

Thursday is a busy scanning day this week on this thread, I wish it would hurry up and be Thursday. Have to admit absolutely terrified of hearing that deafening silence too then the words I?m sorry. I need to know one way or the other though I?m driving myself crazy with all my thoughts.

Hi everyone

dan hope you scan went well and put your mind at ease.

dbno sounds like the consultant needs a good hard kick up the backside from all of us. Hopefully you will get more/ better information in two weeks.

cece good news on getting your scan booked, now you have a date to focus on.

scotlass another scan tomorrow and hopefully the good news and reassurance will continue.

Not much changed here, feel as if I am just waiting to mc. Don't feel to positive about tomorrow. I have now been bleeding for almost a week, I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Hope everyone else is doing good today, take care xx

mm hey here's hoping for some good news for you tomorrow from your scan
dbno sorry your consultant was rubbish at comms. hope your next one turns our better.
cricri good luck for your scan on Thursday, too. Hope it's reduced even more
scotlass wow your right lots of scans on thursday good luck with yours too

morning sickness pah I've got all frigging day sickness. Ended up dry retching outside tescos with people giving me really odd looks.

Sorry not posted for a few days.

MissEdith - really sorry to hear your news. Take it easy and I hope that you'll be back here with better news soon.

mm - thinkiing of you and hoping all goes ok.

ronshar - LOL at your DH! Sometimes they just don't seem to live in reality!

Aquababe - great news Must be a relief.

dan39 - hope your scan went well.

scotlass - I'm with you on the worry about another mmc. I was feeling really sick last week and not so much this week. I have a scan booked for Monday morning (should be 8 weeks) but am feeling like my symptoms are going backwards. Just don't know how I'd cope with more bad news. DH told me to just stop thinking about it and then I wouldn't get upset. Why is it not that easy??

Hey all can i join? Had a mmc and ERPC in June and am now 6+5 and TERRIFIED of losing this one.

Like Ses am convinced I am losing all my symptoms this week (don't think I'm weeing as much, don't feel as sick, boobs don't really hurt) and as I know that in my last pg it never got past 6+3, this week is really hard.

Burst into tears at my GP appt last week, and she said she'd refer me for a scan at 7/8 weeks, but haven't heard from the hospital and to be honest, am scared of going and getting bad news (particularly the silence as they look at the screen....)

Am driving DH mad (he says I have to stay positive for the bean and my sake), but it's so hard..haven't even wanted to join a PG thread in case I jinxed it (how ridiculous am I?!)

Welcome sparky and it sounds like this is the thread for you. This stage is just so difficult and takes an eternity to get thru. Your early scan should hopefully put your mind at ease and until then rant away we have all been there so totally understand your fears.

ses don't worry too much about the symptoms sometimes I think our minds play tricks on us. Look forward to your scan and after that watch the all the symptoms kick in again.

Thanks mm - gonna try!

Welcome Sparky. Sounds like we're going through v similar feelings. I just don't think I feel pg anymore

Hi this is what I've been looking for!
Have 1 DD aged 2.5yrs, but had MMC in march, now 12 weeks with scan this fri morn and am frankly petrified of going.
Just feel like I can't go through the trauma of MC again.
Glad to have found this thread and it's comforting to hear am not alone.

Welcome Kitty

You're certainly not alone. Fingers crossed for your scan.

Ses - that's exactly it! I woke up in a blind panic the other night convinced I didn't feel pregnant. Now every strange twinge is convincing me that it's gone.

Thanks for listening everyone, I know lots of you are having a hard time right now, but it means such a lot knowing that we have somewhere to off load all these worries

I even had a dream last night that I'd had a heavy bleed. I briefly woke up and persuaded myslef it wasn't true, only to go back to sleep and have a dream that I'd dreamt I was having a heaavy bleed and that my dream came true! Really not fair!!
(Hope you can follow that one!)
