I was wondering about that gentle like then again if we did and I started to bleed or something i'd never forgive myself. As I say at the minute he's not even giving me nice kisses anymore as we call them it's just pecks or blowed kisses,

jessicaandbumpsmummy · 26/07/2005 19:53

tell him you need kisses and cuddles.... what is he a man or a mouse!

My DH is too kissy cuddly sometimes and i have to tell him to back off!

well see he's like that when we go to sleep he is more or less strangalin me but otherwise he's up here and i'm downstairs and that's thhat - u know I might well apck him off to iraq again cos for about the first 6 weeks when he came back he didn't come up here at all when I was in and he was v attentive etc and helped in the house - in fact u know what it is - since he's been back at work.

Frizbe · 26/07/2005 22:48

I know George scarey isn't it! 9 whole weeks already! wonder how long my beanie is, about 3cm or summat by now! minute!
Munz, don't worry it'll soon start to fly by!

munz · 27/07/2005 07:51

mine apparently is the size of a grain of rice, had a mega trip out the oterh day thinking there's now two brains inside me and two hearts - how odd is that!

Cadmum · 27/07/2005 18:38

Everyone is so quiet today... Hope you are all well. I am feeling really awful with MS. I know that it is a great sign but I am wearing thing as it is rather challenging taking care of 3 little people 24/7 by myself. Hope to know about DH's status on permanent position in New York ASAP.

GP's office rand me this afternoon to give me the appt at the High Risk Clinic. I thougth that I would not really care that I am seeing an ObGyn and planning a hospital birth after my lovely experience of home birth with an ind. midwife but it does really bother me since my pregnancies with DD and DS2 were really uneventful and my labour and delivery with all three (and the two miscarriages) were relatively easy and quick so it all seems so ridiculous.

If I do make it beyond 18 weeks, I will feel so grateful that I won't care if the Prime-Minister needs to deliver the baby while I stand on my head, right?!?

Thank you George for the doppler link. I did CAT TigerLilly and she was OK with posting it to Canda so now I just need to drag my sorry, sick body down to the post-office to send payment and then wait for it to arrive. Hope I made the right choice...

WENDY: Really thinking of you as Friday is fast approaching.

Cadmum · 27/07/2005 18:39

HERESHOPING: Drop us a line and let me know how you are making out, please.

Cadmum · 27/07/2005 18:40

GP's office actually rang me... Why am I always in such a rush to hit post!?!

george32 · 27/07/2005 19:43

I'm glad you got the doppler Cadmum. They are fantastic gadgets, makes me smile everytime I use it.

Frizbe, from memory your little one is about to go through a major growth spurt. You will probably be dropping off about.......now!

Bella, hope you are feeling OK. I guess you may well be lurking for a bit but wanted you to know that I'm willing this to be your month.

Wendy, hope you are doing OK. Not long for you to wait now. I do hope that you get some good news on Friday.

How is everyone else today?

romilly · 27/07/2005 19:57

hi girls. thanks for all the doppler advice nemo and george. cadmum i'm sure you have made the right choice - re: doppler. have to say i dont know how you do it, 3 little ones on your own and bad morning sickness - i have been struggling with it and i only have work to contend with - which incidentally i didnt make today what a wimp actually its the first day off i've had in ages so dont feel too guilty. munz, how are you coping with work? is your boss more bearable now?

a question for anyone who cares to answer it - i am worried that i have been a real couch potato, just cant motivate myself to do any form of exercise apart from the bare minimum of walking - do you get more energy after the first trimester? i am really hoping so!

wendy, only one more day, how are you doing honey? praying for you and little one, we are all still rooting for you here.

romilly · 27/07/2005 20:17

much as i love mumsnet and couldnt live without it, some threads i stumble across i just wish i hadnt read. there is currently one on this pregnancy thread about vaginas which most definitely comes into that category - seriously, dont read it if you are feeling remotely squeamish today

Frizbe · 27/07/2005 22:15

Haven't spotted it yet rom! but now have to go and read it!!

George, ooooh a spurt eh! might have to have a read up of all the stuff I've gotten from the midwife! what with dd running me off my feet all day, I've not really had chance to check up on what beanie should be doing! could explain the amount of food I've been scoffing tho....ahem..

Hi to all and Wendy, still sending you lots of positive vibes {{Hugs}}

munz · 28/07/2005 13:53

wend - good luck tomorrow hon fingers crossed for u, let us know how u go.

hope the rest of u girls r ok.

Cadmum · 28/07/2005 18:18

Wendy: Thinking of you and hoping for the absolute best tomorrow morning. I can't imagine what you are feeling at the moment. Hugs to you and DH.

romilly · 28/07/2005 19:26

Wendy - also thinking of you for tomorrow.

wishing you all the best and praying for positive news.

Frizbe · 28/07/2005 20:54

Wendy - said a little prayer for you at 8am when I know you are having your appointment.
Please let us know how you get on xxx

wendy11 · 29/07/2005 14:22

Hello Ladies

Well unfortunately my news is not good. The heartbeat has stopped and the sac has only grown another mm so it looks as if our little one gave up the fight for life a day or so after my last scan.

I have opted to go into hospital on Monday for an evacuation as I can't face waiting anymore for it to come away naturally. I have to take two tablets at 6 on Monday morning and then be at the Day Procedure Unit at 8. Can anyone tell me what to expect or how I will feel afterwards, bleeding etc.

DH and I have had a good cry and just have to look to the future once again. It gets harder instead of easier. We are going to take a holiday and spend some time together although DH is really busy at the moment I think this is something we both need. I have a review appointment booked for the 11th October to discuss future treatment although can't even think of that at the moment.

I am going to take some time away from ttc but I will drop in every now and again to check up on you all. All my thanks for being such good cyber friends throughtout my ttc, treatment and short pg and I wish you all happy healthy pgs and hopefully some day in the future I will catch up with you all again.

xoxo

oo wendy i am sooooooo sorry
my evactuation was via op hun not tabs so no advice there. Please try and take it easy and when you feel up to it let us know how you are getting on from time to time

huge hugs to you and your DH

Cadmum · 29/07/2005 14:45

Wendy: I can't even find the words to express how sorry I am.

I really am amazed by your strength and courage. It all seems so unfair!

I am hoping that someone more eloquent will be along shortly because I am truly at a loss for words.

I would love to offer helpful advice about the evacuation but my experiences were not particularly positive and I know from having read other threads that I am in the minority. Generally, there is minimal bleeding (lighter than AF) that tails off in about 5 days.

I found the emotional aspect much harder to cope with than the physical. Most vivid memory is of uncontrolable crying in the toilet (the only place I could find privacy) and a feeling of being desperately alone. If possible have a friend or your DH stay with you to avoid this.

I so wish that you did not need to come to us for this advice. I just feel so sad for you. I'm sorry...
