4everhopeful · 28/01/2009 13:42

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for your lovely welcomes! Your a busy lot on here arent you? Love to see regular posters and lots of responses! Will take me a while to get to know you all so please bear with me!

Mermaid thank you so much for being adorable and wonderful and kind, I could cry ay your kindness hon! xxxxxx

VJay thank you for your welcome! I have my first ante natal on tues & will be exactly 9 weeks but think its a bit of a postcode lottery, and last times was meant to be around 10 weeks but never actually had one yet!

Scotlas they never told me when to stop aspirin! I know i'm on the cyclogest (prog supps) til week 16 but see obst again on 12th so will ask!

Thank you also all for posts re measles, manager doesnt even know for def if son has it & i phoned her nearly crying, she said she'd had it herself years ago so couldnt pass it on? as said have ante natal tests on tues so hopefully will be reassured when they do bloods for it... Still a weeny bit scared talking too far into the future! Am waiting for EPU to call and see if I can get a scan tomorrow as tues toooooooo far away and week 9 panicy for me, so want a week 8 one to reassure!

Anyway you lovely ladies - thanks for making me welcome and I shall lurk and post again soon! xxxxxx

Also meant to say as the gorgeous mermaid so sweetly remembers our lo is so far called lil ox as its chinese year of the ox and the old saying 'strong as an ox' wil hopefully apply! Not that I'm chinese or anything!

Good afternoon to all, feel as though i have missed out on a mammouth amount of news etc, have been trying to catch up on the thread but keep having to go back and re read! You're all such busy posters.

4everhopeful you are definitely in the right hands here, I have not been on here long but the support is overwhelming and everyone is a constant reassurance, I think sometimes just hearing the success stories of the other ladies is enough to make me think 'I will get to 12 weeks and beyond, it is going to happen'. It looks like there are a few of us around the same stage at the moment!

VJay I was beginning to wonder the same myself, i have not been contacted by the midwife from my drs surgery yet, and I am 10 weeks, I have alreay been privately for 3 scans however I know in my area I will be offered a scan at 14 weeks, I dont see how they will be able to organise all of this with not having registered me yet..?? I am now wondering if I should be phoning surgery to find out normal practice?

Winemakesmummyclever Sounds like you are very organised sniffing DS's new wellies.. very strange craving! haha! 16/02 does not sound very far away at all! Cant wait to hear the news when baby has arrived! same for Dan39 and DBNO I am wondering if the rest of us should set up betting sheets and start considering the odds on who has their baby first!!

loobylou How come you are owed wages? Is your company becoming pulled into the latest recession we hear so much about on the television?? I hope that you are paid soon!

Scotlass you are 28 weeks congratulations, I am a nervous wreck every day, by the time I am 28 weeks I imagine i will have shares in the Kleenex tissue company!

Mumface it sounds like you're going through a tough time at the moment.. big hugs and good luck with it all (if thats the right thing to say)

Okay, I cant remember what other people have written, apologies if i have missed something out, thank you all for your congratulations on my scan! 10 weeks 1 day now, 10BLINKINWEEKS! It is so exciting for me! I am hoping to be with you all until the end! Those of you who are coming to the end of your 9 months, please keep posting as often as possible, the reassurance i get from your posts is better than any 'its going to be okay' from an outside MN well wisher! xx

mermaidspurse · 28/01/2009 14:26

4ever you've got me crying now!
waves hello, goodbye to everyone thankyou for the warm welcomes and support during my short stay and please look after 4ever for us.

dan39 · 28/01/2009 17:08

Hello all - wmmc might beat me and dbno!!

I agree btw about the constant worry - I poke my poor lo all the time to make her move and she moves all the time! Also now worried about stillbirth/dying in childbirth/undiagnosed breach..so it never goes away...

Scotlass its an emotional roller coaster and I am glad, in a way, that you spotted the date connection as at least having a reason gives you a fighting chamce of staying sane!

Anyway off to make mushroom soup. My freezer is fit to bursting!

Hope everyone else well - and chase up those midwives those of you who haven't heard.

Fozzie78 · 28/01/2009 18:02

Hi ladies, it certainly has been busy on here today

vjay, Ive been for my midwife booking today, im 8 1/2 weeks. I had to phone and book in.

Wow wheely still being sick at 34 weeks, you poor woman.

Welcome 4ever ive been on this thread for a few weeks and it really does help.

Ahhhhh lots of new babies to arrive soon, how exciting xxx

Even tho im still spotting every now and then she didnt seem concerned due to my strong pregnancy symptoms therefore shes decided for me just to wait for the 12 week scan, she said she would get me in as close as poss to 12 weeks. So I have another 3 - 4 week wait, its killing me!!!
My DP thinks this is totally fine and thinks im a worrier for wanting a scan earlier, he's covinced everything is okay but as you all know and understand its never that easy.
Anyway ive decided i am going to TRY and be positive and wait for the 12 week scan unless anythng happens before then ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

LoobyLou36 · 28/01/2009 18:22

well all went well at MW. BP fine no more glucose/protein in urine and I'm measuring 27wks. They were slightly concerned about tenderness in my abdomen but think that I have just been overdoing it a bit - told me to take it easy but to contact the hospital if any stronger pain or spotting.I do feel fine tho - just hope its all gonna be okay.

ashleigh my boss says he hasn't got the money to pay us at the moment. This isn't the first time this has happened its just very worrying

On the plus side I've got my form to fill in for the Health in Pregnancy Grant.

youknownothingofthecrunch · 29/01/2009 09:54

Great, could someone please come and explain to my DH that everything is not all about him at the moment? Please? It would be really nice to be wrapped up in cotton wool right now, or at least treated like a pregnant woman

I can't even be grumpy and hormonal in my own home without him taking personal offence and punishing me for it

I don't know what to do (sorry about the whinge)

ready2pop · 29/01/2009 09:55

Hello all, wow this thread moves quickly. DS has been sick for a few days so I haven't been on mumsnet and there are so many new messages to check!

I've finally started to feel a bit sick, which oddly is a huge relief and have booked myself in for a private scan tomorrow. I'll be 8 weeks which is jsut after I mc'd last time so I think it will put my mind at rest to know I've got past that point.

Vjay - haven't heard from my mw either and here they are supposed to do booking in by 8 weeks. Nuchal scan has to be at 12 weeks and the mw makes the appointment for that at booking in so will have to contact them if I don't hear soon or we'll be too alte for the scan. It is such a lottery isn't it?

Weird. Sorry not sure why that came up three times.

4everhopeful · 29/01/2009 14:10

Stupid me tempting fate by leaving emmsys angels yesterday to move in here. Shortest stay ever. Went for scan today and no heartbeat Cant believe this has happened a fourth time. Was showing DH all your lovely hello messages yesterday. Well its goodbye again. I am having erpc tomorrow and lovely nurse at EPU has put me top of the list so hopefully wont be there too long. It will be my 4th one in just under a year. Know all the day surgery staff like mates. Lovely DH is so strong and I dont know how. There should be a DH forum on here i think. Quite numb & just cant believe its happened again. As soon as recovered (physically - mentally is diff story) me and my wonderful supportive DH will go away somewhere hot.. But for now back to Emmsys angels. Hopefully be back soon for longer than 24hrs... xxx

Fozzie78 · 29/01/2009 14:38

Ahhhhhhhhhhh 4ever how sad you poor lady. Im so sorry, take care of yourself and take it easy xxxx

ashleighbeee · 29/01/2009 15:01

4ever I am SO sorry to hear about your news. I am pleased you have a wonderful and supportive DH to look after you, I really hope we see you back here soon.. Take care of yourself and if you go away 'somewhere hot' make sure you do nothing but relax. Good luck in the future, we'll all be here when you're ready to come back xxx

Wheelybug · 29/01/2009 15:26

Thoughts go out to 4 ever x
Saw consultant today at 16+5 was reassured she found the heartbeat straight away.Said she is happy for me to have vaginal birth after 3rd degree tear, so no casaerean for me.

scotlass · 29/01/2009 20:09

oh 4ever I'm so so sorry. I can't believe this has happened to you again. I really hoped it would be 4th time lucky for you too. I hope you and your DH come back soon but take each day as it comes and know we're thinking of you xxx

downbutnotout · 29/01/2009 21:14
