Beanie orders awaiting delivery :-)

[Nemo1977]

WEll we keep talking about it so here is a thread for all the TTC girls to get together and have a gab so we can keep trakc of each others pregnancies without invading different antenatal threads...lol

Wooo hoooooooooo well done to all on here.

Wendy - I am sooooo sorry. I really was praying for good news.
It all seems so unfair for you.
I won't offer any words of wisdom because I know they don't help when this is happening.

No advice on the tablet front as I too had an op.

Huge hugs to you and your DH. Take time out, cry, rest and eat and drink lots.
When you have your strength back in a couple of months then you will be able to start the TTC journey again.

{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}

wendy - (((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))) ((((((((((((((hugs)))))))) and more ((((((((((hugs)))))))))))). devastating news. i am really shocked (and angry) this is happening to you, it doesnt seem fair. i know life isnt fair, but after all that you have been through i truly felt it was your turn for some happiness. as cadmum said, words seem totally inadequate at times like this. i know that you are a strong and brave lady wendy, we all do, and you will get through this - in time. i wish i could help out with advice on the evacuation, but i also had an erpc (so surgery not tablets) - as somebody else said, the bleeding stops after about a week to 10 days, and is not painful. it is the emotional pain that is worse, and we are all here for you wendy if you ever need us, please CAT me if you do ever want to talk. xx

Wendy: Please do CAT any of us if you want to talk more privately. I also have MSN and YAHOO messenger if that would help.
I have had 2 evacuation with the tablets and 2 ERPCs so more experience than I care to have acquired. Don't hesitate to ask questions as they occur to you.

I hope you are OK.

Thanks everyone. I have probably confused you all completley. The tablets are to soften the cervix before the op. Maybe that will allow you offer any advice. I think I am on auto pilot at the moment. Wandering around the house but can't settle to do anything. It looks as if we are just not meant to have a baby in February. Both Adam and this little one were due in February. Sorry rambling now.

oh honney (((hugs))) i'm so sorry I was really hoping for you. I don't have any words to offer with regards to the op and everything, but please know you and DH are in my thoughts and it's so very unfair this has happened to you both.

((((((((((((hugs))))))))))) as always we'll all be here to support both you and DH is he needs it as well.

(((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))

Wendy i am so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you and you DP get the chance to spend some time together as I think you will need it. We are here for you should you need anything.

(I had the tablets to open my cervix and make the D & C easier to complete )

thinking of you both adn hope you find strength in each other.

wendy so terribley terribley sorry for your news. had everything crossed for you.
actually I have had the op twice, and i have got to say, emotionally it is crushing, but operationwise, its a very quick straightforward proceedure and over fast. there is minimal bleeding -from my experience- and not any awful after pains or anything. I hope that can be some help. take it very easy afterwards and allow yourself to mentally catch up with all thats happening. I wish you and your dh a fabulous summer break and hope you can get some good news, or forwrd thinking news this october. keep calling in on us, -you are one of us. take care

hi wendy
reality of op didnt really hit until couple of days after emotionally. however as physical procedure i had heavy bleed on the day with some clots[tmi] but next couple of days was very light bleed. It was very straightforward if not a little too easy iykwim.
hugs

Wendy, I am so sorry to hear your news. After everything you have been through so far it is just heartbreaking.
I am glad you and your DH are going away together. I did this after my op with my DP and, although I can't remember a lot about it now, it did really help.
The waiting was the hardest part of my ERPC as the operation wasn't til late afternoon and I was last into theatre. When I came round I had one gush of blood, when I went to the loo, & then that was it for me, no more bleeding until my next period.
The emotional side is a rollercoaster. I don't know what I would have done without you guys throughout the early part of the year.
Wendy, we are all here if you need us. My thoughts will be with you. xxx

Wendy, Im so sorry.

Girls, can we start another thread and leave this one be. Seems wrong to go on and talk about our situations when something so sad has happened to a fellow MNer.

Just got back from a week away.

Wendy - am so sorry to hear your news. I don't know what to say, being on this thread unfortunatley means we all know how sad you must feel and can only hope that you will get some rest, recover and have better news in the future when you are ready.

love and hugs to you and your dh. take care x

Oh Wendy, I'm so sorry to hear this, very, very sorry for your loss {{{{Hugs}}}} {{{{Hugs}}}}

wendy - its me again. just wanted to tell you that my experience of erpc (and several of my friends, sister-in-law etc.) was exactly the same as dramaqueens. it really was a very quick and painless procedure, the actual operating time including anaesthetic was all over in under half an hour. afterwards i went straight home and had no pains at all, didnt even have to take any of the painkillers they gave me. as a standard procedure they will put you on a course of antibiotics afterwards.

i have been thinking of you all afternoon and feel so sad about this. i really hope you and d/h do take some time out together, give yourself plenty of time to just do what you want over the coming months. xx

Wendy, I hope you are OK and are taking things very gently after yesterday. Thinking of you. x

I hope everyone else is OK too.

Wendy: couldn't stop thinking about you yesterday. I am sorry for all that you have been through...

I hope that you are able to rest and recover physically and emotionally over the coming weeks.

Wendy hugs to u
hope you are taking it easy

hope everyone else is ok

Wendy - just to say that I am still thinking of you at this horrible time. Life is just so unfair sometimes!
Hope you are getting lots of TLC. xx

Hope the rest of you lovely ladies are doing well. xx

hi bella - nice to see you. we are all basically gutted for wendy so its been quiet on here.

wendy - ditto what everyone else has said, you are in our thoughts. i hope the op. went smoothly and painlessly yesterday. please let us know how you are, even if its just a line.

hey ladies. wendy -wishing you well asap hun, and much rest and taking it easy.
bella, nice to see you check in, keep thinking of you and willing that stork by your house soon. life is very unfair, if i could fix it for you and wendy I so very much would.
yingers -how you doing? not long now! summers nearly over and its zooming by to nov/dec. even my dh ahd a reality check when i hit 19wks last weekend.my babies are often early and so I am therefore half way already. scary!

all our newly pg ladies.hows the early weeks treating you all? cadmum? have you had that scan yet? willing it to be fabulous news for you.
rom, hows the sickness? hope anyone with sickness finds it eases soon. ugh.

have my 'bigg' u/s tomorrow and am terrified....keep telling myself to pull myself together but finidng it hard. scans are just so very scary to me, hard to sit in the waiting room with so many excited happy ladies who have obviously never had a 'bad' scan. suspect i will cry, good or bad news, think i will be hormonal wreck!

DQ: I am sorry that scans are such a nightmare for you as well... I was starting to think that I must be very unusual as everyone on the Due in March thread seems eager for their scan date to arrive. Mine is a week today and I am already filled with dread... DH will be back in New York and I have a friend staying with my children. I am already wondering how in the world I will cope if the news is not good... I haven't told our three that I am pregnant and I have only known the person staying with my kids for 6 months so I am not sure how the day will play out.

I really hate being so stressed as it is NOT good for me or the baby but I really can't seem to keep it under control this time.

I am doing a pathetic job at keeping it all together with three children and feeling dreadful 24/7. The house is a tip and I am too tired and sick to do much about it... Sorry, rant over.

Hope you are all well.

cadmum - absolutely do not worry about the house being a tip, i think you are doing an amazing job looking after three kids and being on your own - who cares what the house looks like!

dramaqueen - 19 weeks!!!!!!! so exciting. i really feel for you on the big scan tomorrow - i was terrified at my early one (and by the way i cried too! totally hormonal mad woman) - hope it all goes well for you hon. do you get to find out the sex this time? or am i way behind, do you know already??! thanks for asking after me, yes am still pukey - havent really found anything that staves it off either.

cadmum, plenty of time to clear up when the sickness eases, rest now and keep chanting ;who cares about the house I'm having baby number four'{grin]
rom, oh no, dont want to find out the sex (well okay abit of me does....) so will be asking them not to say. i cried and then started laughing at my last scan (11wks) as you laugh your belly wobbles and the picture goes all fuzzy.......it was very funny.
there will be 'one' thing that helps your sickness, its just the trying to find it.....have you tried fruit ice lollies? i found a drink called...dr feelgoods lemon something, it was very lemony, plain and just slightly fizzy and took away the nausea. apparently, -and believe me i have read alot on m/s- the sharp/sour tastes take away the excess saliva (oh lovely) that can be responsible for alot of the sickness. so hence alot of vinegar/salt/lemon cravings in early weeks. I hope thats some help to you sicky people.
thanks for the kind thoughts about tomorrows scan. will get on at some point tomorrow and let you all know.

romilly: Thank heavens you don't have a video link to my house or you might be suggesting that I try my hand at some housework. Three little people are running rings 'round me dumping boxes of toys and books everywhere... I feel like the mum in a poster I saw once. I am on the sofa wondering who are all these children and WHY do they keep calling me mum?!?!

Dramaqueen: I really do hope that everything goes smoothly with your scan tomorrow. I can just imagine going from tears to laughter... Mine will be a BIG relief one way or the other.

I felt 1/2 human this morning but I am really having a rough afternoon. Can't even bear the thought of being vertical.... My mum just sent an MSN Chat and is about to phone here. I wonder if she will hear in my voice that I feel awful? Feeling guilty for not wanting to tell her that I am pg AGAIN!

Hi all,
Cadmum, I did nothing for the first 12 weeks, my house looked like a bomb site (& still does!!) & I have no kids (except 2 borrowed ones at weekends)so don't worry about it! I'm another one terrified of scans. Mine is next week & I'm so scared that the baby hasn't grown properly. Has your doppler arrived yet? I find it does help to put my mind at rest. The noise it is making, the baby must be bigger than the 3cm it was at the last scan.
Rom, I found eating constantly helped to stave off my nausea - it's done nothing for my figure but helped me keep my head out of the toilet! Sherbet lemons are worth a try. So is working from home & avoiding the mad train rush
Bella, really good to see you over here. How is it going? Are you taking a bit of a breather at the moment? What has happened about your job? Weren't you looking for a new one?
DQ, GOOD LUCK for tomorrow

lol cadmum - i so hear you on the vertical thing - all the way back from work i was dreaming of collapsing on my bed as soon as i got home! i did, and it was sheer bliss. i have just dragged myself up to see how many times i can retch it the kitchen before heading back there. i am also suffering from repetitive eating syndrome - at the moment there are about four things i can face and that is it! so much for a varied diet. now cadmum i am ordering you to stop feeling guilty! esp. about housework - that is seriously not worth guilting out over - but equally about your mother and telling her you are pg. good luck with the call!

dramaqueen - i shall be forever indebted to you if one of those suggestions works. where did you get the dr.feelgoods lemon thingy from? i have got some lollies called "preggie pops" that are supposed to ease m/s, but so far they have made me feel even closer to chucking than usual mind you they are not ice lollies. anyway, all the best for tomorrow hon.

munzie hunzie - where are you lass?

george too?

wendy - i am wondering how you are getting on. this is the worst time, you just feel so numb and all those hormones are raging still. please know that we are thinking of you and i understand if you need time-out from these threads, but if you do come back we are all here for you. we miss you sweetheart.
