The "4 weeks and bricking it" lounge.

[Thandeka]

Hello,
Me and Wasabipeanut thought a specific thread for people in our boat may be nice- as lovely as the knicker checkers thread is and great support but a lot of the lovely knicker checkers are past the evil first trimester and for those of us that have just found out we are pregnant again post MC we thought it might be nice for us to have a sub lounge to huddle in and support each other in these very early stages where in a way we are still in denial about this pregnancy!

We don't have to post due dates or anything scary like that, just more a place to wobble with people going through it at same time.

So I will be only 4 weeks tommorrow and 40 days ago tommorrow I had an MMC at 10 weeks but emby died at 6/7 weeks. So am going to be petrified basically for at least the next 8 weeks and would love some handholding- especially as this time I am not telling anybody except DH and best mate. Parents need not know.

jardins oh thank you for thinking of me, yes, I hope I will still get onto MN whilst I'm away, if I can remember the password!

quirky what a great mummy you are, waffles and ice-cream ... of course it was all for your daughter, I bet you didn't have any

jardins I forgot to say it sounds perfect where you live. Lucky, lucky you! My parents are in Somerset and I have to say it is very pretty where they are. So looking forward to fresh air ... and at the moment I so don't care if it's pouring with rain, we'll get our wellies on and start splashing in puddles.

OOoh I'm originally from Somerset! I really miss it sometimes. My parents moved to the the Languedoc-Roussillon area a few years ago. It's lovely there - sunny, dry and they have a pool - but sometimes I miss going home to the rolling green fields of Zummmmerzet.

Amyboo - I am actually from Dorset (across the border!) but my parents 'emigrated' to Somerset about 15 years ago. Both places are equally lovely and also make lovely icecreams .... oh yum!

Happy Bump I don't know about being a fab mummy I'm just trying to make up for all the cbeebies we've had while I've felt crap/DD's been ill. I had to promise we would come back and have waffles and ice-cream another time!

Dorset is very pretty, I'm originally from Hampshire also green hills and rolling countryside. It is a really different landscape to Norfolk, though: flat,wide spaces and poppy fields this time of year.

My keyboard has really had it now it won't do bold or smileys.

Hi all. I am 4+3 weeks pregnant after I miscarried at 10 weeks in May. I am so happy but very very scared!!!!! I think I will just stay at home and not move for another 8 weeks unless I need to eat or go to the toilet!! Hope everyone else's pregnancies are going well. Love to all x

Welcome Sammy842 and congratulations. I think you just have to take it a bit at a time there are plenty of us to hold your hand. You might have gathered that some of us are past the first 12wks but there are also some newer pgs.

Thanks quirkychick. It is nice to know that there are others out there who are going through or who have gone through the same thing well done to everyone who has past the 12 week mildstone!!

Totally bricking it. Not least because when/if the baby arrives, I will be nearly 45 . I had missed mc between 2nd and 3rd child and am almost expecting the same again .

Hi BottySpottom congratulations on your bfp. Fingers crossed for a sticky little bean for you. Nothing wrong with older mums, just wish the docs/medical profession would agree with me!

~Thanks Quirky

How is everyone today?
I am 6+1 today so starting to feel a little more confident... MC was at 6 and a half weeks so not out of the woods yet by any means but somehow it all feels better this time, it's hard to explain.

Cor this thread dropped off for a bit time for a ressurection I think.

How is everyone? How are our lovely new ladies doing?

Hi, I'm new here. Just tested this morning! and got a BFP. Not quite 4 weeks as I have a 26 day cycle, so I'm 3 weeks and 5 days! Have one DS aged 3 and 3 months, and have previously had a mmc at 10wks 2days, so I'm not getting my hopes up too far just yet.

7 weeks tomorrow
Booking appointment with midwife next Wednesday when I'll be 8 weeks, should I ask her if I can get an early scan do you think, or should I just wait?

OOooooh - it's very quiet in here! Is everyone still around? I've got another gynae appointment today - I should be 8+3, and am starting to panic that it's going to be bad news like last time.

How's everyone else doing?

Hi. I think I am about 6 weeks gone and started light spotting two weeks ago (never red or heavy, just light brownish). I went to the GP and got an early ultrasound. We saw a gestational sac that was pretty small and they couldn't accurately date it or commit whether it was ok one way or the other. They told me to come back in two weeks for another ultrasound. The scan is on Wednesday. I have carried on the same light brownish spotting in the same way every now and then, but am having good preg symptoms like bigger boobs, smelling more, a bit of nausea, bloating etc. Have also been doing about 2 pregnancy tests a day which are still positive. Has anyone got any thoughts/advice?? I am so worried - we've been trying for 1 1/2 years and I thought this is it, but it still seems so uncertain . . . .

hi everyone not sure if any of u remeber me but i miscarried in july and religiously relied on this thread...

well i am now pregnant again!!! and although i was thrilled to see the test turn positive i am also very nervous and scared that the same thing will happen this time...just after some friendly reassurance xxx

hi everyone
i am new to this. i am 4 weeks pregnant, i had a hcg test and it only came up as 47. i' quite worried as iv also had period like pains.
i am really enjoying these forums but i have no idea what most of the initials mean. could somebody please help?
DP?
DH?
MMC?
D&C?
i apologise if i a coming across a bit 'thick', i am just new to all this.
good luck everybody

hello mummabrown, congratulations on your PG......

Let me help you with the abbreviations......

DP - Dear/Darling Partner
DH - Dear/Darling Husband
MMC - Missed Miscarriage
D&C/ERPC - surgical procedure that removes any products of conception, not very nice when you have had a miscarriage and your body doesn't get rid of products itself.

There are more explanations if you click on 'Acronymns' at the top of the page.
