Pregnancy After Miscarriage Part VI....Share your worries and knicker checking stories here...

[SparkyMalarky]

Will this do?

thanks sparky techie goddess - i would never have figured out to start a new thread.

sussex so very sorry to hear about your mmc. it's horrid and not fair. the wait in between scans is not fun and stressful and i totally understand what you mean when you say that in a way you are relieved that you now know. i had to wait btwn a dodgy 6 week scan, then at 8 weeks a heartbeat but small for dates and then at 10 weeks, no hb it's heartbreaking and i am sending you lots of hugs. we're here and i will be thinking of you on friday x

roque very sorry to hear your news too. it's rubbish what we ladies have to go through. i wish you and sussex all the best on ttc front in the future.

dan yes yes yes - you will be on your way to millionaire status if you start up the barbados resort as described. when does the plane leave?

Thank you bunny - oh God, at least we never saw a heartbeat. I'm not sure I'd be strong enough to cope if I'd gone through what you have

Am just leaving for Gatwick with my snorkel under my arm - what time's the plane go?

Oh, I've just had a mental image of a plane hopping all over the country, picking us all up. It'd be like ConAir, but, well, actually, not really like ConAir. ConceivedAir?

well done sparky an excellent new thread!

sussex we know exactly what its like putting on a face for RL and saying all the 'I'm fines' then having those awful moments when it crashes in on you and you feel so terribly sad. Good days, bad days - sounds like your DS starting preschool will keep you busy and your DP sounds lovely. Get plenty of RL hugs from them and some virtual ones from us too.

Now what times our plane leaving? I need to pack

sparky god bless your brain and your tecnical wizardry!...

Going to pack my gaviscon right now!

sussex love the Concieved Air!! You get an upgrade to first class for that! (where they serve free champagne and stilton)

Sussex & Roque really sorry for both of you on getting such news. sounds like you getting good support hope to see you back here soon

Been hibernating of late, still feeling/getting sick at 15 1/2weeks. So hope this stopps soon though it has eased up a little on what it was. Managed to feel the baby moving again when I managed to go and see the new bond film yesterday, which was really cool(both film and feeling baby). Teamed up with friends who had baby and we went followed by boys. Worked well. Was really great to get out to cinema

Love the sound of barbados too. particularly with the miserable weather we've been having of late

Conceived Air - sheer genius Am packing my beach towel, a bumper stack of bonkbuster novels and a great stash of polo mints (seriously, my favourite thing at the moment!) right now

hello everyone, just a quick wave to say hello!

Hi Guys,

can i join i have just has a BFP today after 5 years of trying and second month on clomid and 2 MC.

I am realy worried that will Mc again.

I have very bad bachache and strange pains in the womb area i hoping the pains are a good thing but the back ache worries me as i had this just before i had my Mc before.
Any advise i realy dont think i could take it if a Mc after all we have ben through.

Hello girls

Gusset report - no more pinkness, so I'm riding the 'positive thinking' train again. Also, feel pretty deadly, and bloodhound nose is back.

I was having acupuncture when TTC, and had one session last week too, but it made me feel right queer. Needles in the back. Eww.

My usual practitioner is on a study tour of China, and I can't decide whether to go to one of her locums while she's away, or wait until she's back. Hmmm...

welcome ray, and a big congratulations on your pg. Wow you were trying for a long time! You are in the right place here, we all as mad as a box of frogs so feel free to post away.

herb - assume the locom is qualified? Or maybe you would feel happier with your regular person?

Hello all! Am making a resolution to keep up more but this thread is so active.

sussex and roque - very sad to hear your news, but hope you to manage to keep it together. Obviously we would love see you back here when you're ready.

herby - very pleased to hear that pinkness is no more - PMA will carry us all through (we hope)

Hello ray - we have our fingers crossed for you. Feel free to share all your paranoias. The first 12 weeks are particularly diffciult.

Well here I am at 29 weeks and will have to face up to the fact that I am actually having a baby soon. The latest on the cyst situation from a scan yesterday is that it has grown slightly but is not keeping pace with the baby's growth - hurrah! So hopefully all will be well. Next scan at 32 weeks...

Mind you, I was all flushed with success after that and hurried into work only to slip and fall halfway down a flight of stairs and land heavily on my bottom. I now have a baboon's bum - guess I will need to provide my own cushion on ConceivedAir.

sussex so sorry to hear your news. Am thinking of you. Have a large glass of sauvingnon blanc on me. You'll be back soon, am sure of it.

Sorry haven't been on for a while. NOt much to report here.15+2 weeks now.

HAve appointment with consultant on Thursday. I think its the community midwife referral one coz I am so old ( ie 38 ). Don't expect much to happen as all the hard work has been done already. So could be a huge waste of time as expect to spend 2 hours at least in the ante natal clinic. I hope I get a scan out of it though just to check its still there and growing ok (although the size of my waist suggests there is no problem there or it could be just cake.....)

Spoke a bit too soon - teensy speck once again in pants. Seems to be a first-thing-in-the-morning thing...

Roll on tomorrow afternoon's scan, though in a way ignorance is bliss. Can I bear it if it all goes wrong AGAIN?

Herby - thinking of you. Hope all goes well tomorrow.

Welcome Ray81 - hope your stay here is long and boring .

Its started raining here so I will thumbing a lift on the conceivedair express !

Big wave to everyone and congratulations ray! Everyone here is wonderful and will empathise with you no end.

Herb - thinking of you and keeping everything crossed. Have borrowed sticky vibes from next door, as they have 4 kids, rather than use my own cheapo Netto vibes, which are obviously rubbish.

Some good news from this end, if you could ever call it that - I've started bleeding this afternoon after being physically sick all night (although that might have been the rioja). Whilst it's upsetting to see, at least hopefully I can avoid my fourth D&C and general anaesthetic in 12 months!

I think we're going to do a roque and wait for a while now until all the tests are done.

pmsl at you, dan (passes remains of Bolly down to Cattle Class).

herby good luck tomorrow, sticky vibes from me too...liked the 'gusset report' too - that could have been our new thread name!!

Ahem.......will attempt to cut and paste list into here...fingers crossed...now lets see...

OOH GET ME with my technical know how!!(Deffo worth a free first class upgrade on ConceivedAir) Look at all them there girls being born in the last months - inspiration to us all I think. Also not sure what the ettiquette is for taking them off, don't want to upset anyone?...so will not tamper with it...

For newbies, join the listif you want to when you feel able - some people never do, some do straight away, some around 20 weeks scan, or the time when they pass the 'anniversary' of losses...its up to you!

Welcome ray, best advice is vent and worry on here with the rest of us, you are in good neurotic company. I hope it goes well for you.

dbno good to see you again - glad baby is beating cyst in the growing stakes...scary thought for you - do you realise that you and I are kinda next on the list of people who are still active in here - ulp!

On the bad news front, dr signed me off for 2 weeks cos of what seems to be spd this morning - feeling awful about letting colleagues down/looking like a wimp/knowing they all know I have just had a posh weekend away and they might think I am skiving ..but it IS nice not to have to stand/walk/drive etc. Don't think I will have the full two weeks tho. Hope physion appt comes thru soon.

Can I join? Have been tempted to post on these threads for a while, but didn't want to tempt fate.

I am currently 16weeks 4 days.

I had ds1 10 years ago, a miscarriage at 13 and a half weeks 5 years ago after trying to conceive for 2 years. I then found out I wasn't ovulating and although I have never had any cysts ended up with the diagnosis of PCOS. After finding fertility treatment too traumatic ds2 was eventually conceived naturally 3 years ago.

I had pretty much given up hope of having anymore, although we started trying as soon as ds2 was born (well, after a reasonable pause ).

Then at the worst possible moment (just started PGCE) I got a BFP .

Due to hundreds of additional pressures I have deferred the placement for now.

Despite the fact that I have already had 2 normal scans showing a perfectly healthy baby - one at 8 weeks one at 14 weeks - I am convinced that everything is going to go wrong.

I'm finding it very hard to bond (I know it's early days) - harder than with ds2 - and feel I am distancing myself from the whole thing.

I've also got SPD again, already, which is a PITA.

I am very happy, and very confused, and expecting the worst.

Is this the place for me?

Hello youknownothingofthecrunch - this is definitely the place for you!

Welcome to ray too!

I've found this thread a great support and we can ramble on about our worries with other people that understand and sympathise because unfortunately we've all been there at some time or other in some form or other.

I'm now 14+2 with dc1 and gradually becoming more confident that I will actually have a baby. Like most people I think I have my really positive enthusiastic days and then my days when I'm just in doubt the whole time!

dan - for spd. Your are not skiving though! I gather it can be quite painful (is that an understatement?) and your colleagues shouldn't make you feel guilty. You shouldn't make yourself feel guilty either!

herby - I have everything crossed for you for tomorrow. Will be thinking of you.

Sussex - I can understand why being in the wine section would make you cry. It's the realisation that you can drink........but really you don't want a drink because it's such a poor consolation. Still, when I m/c I do remember getting quite sloshed for a couple of weeks (hence my name).

Herby - fingers crossed for you tomorrow. How many weeks will you be?

ray and crunch this is a great place to be - we're even planning a meet in Barbados

Herbs have everything crossed too. Sending positive vibes and sticky thoughts to you...

dan SPD is not skiving! You have to look after yourself (I had it at the end when PG with DS - and it's awful, you must rest!!!)

Am having a positive day at 13+4 so will add myself to the list (eek!)

Ooooh, and some of the ladies at the top are ready to pop More new babies must be on their way soon....

Thank you for the warm welcome

I have added myself to the list - due the same day as Swaliswan. I hope that isn't premature of me.

dan - I have SPD too, it is agony. So far I've only had a couple of twinges (excruciatingly painful, fall-to-the-floor twinges) this pregnancy. Last time I was referred to an obstetric-physio who gave me exercises and things to do which helped enormously. Have you had a referral?

Hi Gals - only popping in to say so far all is going well. I have recommended this thread to a girl off our May thread who has just had a MC - if Jools pops on here give her a hug and the support I know you all will.
Congrats on all the babes born recently - great news!!
