[struth]

Great news Embo!

 

[TTCinBC]

Wow I haven't been on here for ages! I completely forgot and this thread is in my siggy

I'm sorry for the spotting etc. it's so terrifying to see spotting when you're pregnant. Believe me I've had it with each of my angels.

Afm I had my first positive scan in 11 years. Baby's actually measuring one day ahead. With my three losses I was showing from 2 weeks to 5 days early.
I'm full of a cold so my symptoms have gone. I hate that!

Sorry Em, not sure I know what you mean about 2 weeks to 5 days early?

I'm still just soooo excited about your scan!!

 

[Embo78]

Mmm! My daughter just made pancakes with sugar and lemon! They were the best god damn pancakes I've ever tasted!!!

 

[Embo78]

With my first I was 8 weeks and the scan showed me to be 6 weeks. With the second I should've been 7+4 and I was showing 5-6 weeks and with my third I was 5 days less than I should've been x

 

[TTCinBC]

Ohhh okay! Makes more sense now. This is your forever baby! Bring on August!

Mmmmm, those sound sooo yummy!!! I'm making myself another hotdog. My DH is going to laugh at me, I just know it, lol

 

[Embo78]

Thanks struth you're symptoms sound so good

Hotdogs for us tomorrow ttc!! Yummy!!

I love this thread and you girls so much. No matter how bad my day is, you can always make me smile. I hate that some of us have left, and some still might (myself included) but the support you all have given me is invaluable, and I can't really put into words how much it means, but I know you understand. Have had a relaxing afternoon, my ex ( the boys dad, not the sperm donor for Pip) has been round taking care of the boys and cleaning up for me and being generally awesome, so apart from crying like a baby at Eastenders I've had as good an evening I could have. So far no more bleeding at all and pains have gone (think they might have been tension aches and pains from stressing out). I'm feeling more positive, and waiting for Tuesday, hoping they fit me in there and then and don't make me wait til Thurs... The next 2 days are going to be long enough. xxx

Embo I'm so pleased your scan was good, and long may it continue, here's to a happy and healthy nine months for you, and for us all xxx

MrsMoo, I'll be stalking for updates on Tuesday, praying to every God I can think of and crossing everything that can be crossed for a positive outcome to your scan!xxx

Sorry to anyone I have missed, and one more thing before I go... Damn your food convo... Craving pancakes sooooo bad now... Mmmmm... pancakes *drools* xxx

 

[TTCinBC]

Awww so glad to hear your Ex is still being a nice guy and helping out when you need it the most. Good on him.

Well we have really had our ups and downs and he has been a complete [expletive deleted]... HOWEVER, it seems the leopard has changed his spots, and he has been fab this last few days. He was with me NYE when the bleeding started and the concern in his eyes... Well let's just say I hadn't seen it for a long, long time. And he knows this isn't his baby, but he's still there for me. I'm happy, we're taking it one day at a time xx

 

[TTCinBC]

That's a good man there if he's caring for you while your going through this. Even if your just friends. Glad to hear you have some support. Funny where we find it sometimes, in places we least expect. One day at a time is a good idea

 

[nicola ttc]

Oopsbaby i'm so glad to hear you've had no more spotting. Great that you are getting such a lot of support from the boys dad too

Puppycat started a thread last night in first tri about cravings - made me sooo hungry and now i want hotdogs. Damn you TTC and your hotdog loving daughter!! Have had to send oh out for hotdog sausages, rolls and stuff for pancake mixture.
haha now i just saw that smiley and want pizza. mmmm

 

[puppycat]

Yeh i was curious what other people could stomach and kinda fishing for ideas! Can't live on coke and haribo! Lol

 

[oopsbaby]

Lol, Puppycat, I lose my appetite when pregnant too! I have found just eating little and often, and whatever you fancy at the time, whether that be a biscuit, or a piece of toast etc, helps me lots. xx
Thanks nicola and ttcinbc I'm feeling very lucky to have him around right now. It wasn't that long ago we split, September. At the moment we're just friends, it's sort of awkward what with me being pregnant with another mans baby... But last night he said to me "our little Pip's going to be just fine, so don't worry". Freudian slip? A nice one though. Nice to think he can accept this baby, and treat it the same as our boys. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but perhaps things will be okay in the end xx

 

[BrittasticTX]

Oops and MrsMoo, I am praying right now for both of you! Get plenty of rest, keep your feet up!

Well I just COULD NOT wait to find out if my doctor was right and I am having twins, so I had an "unofficial scan" (I work in the ER, we stole the portable ultrasound machine!! ) Only saw one little baby in there. I was a little disappointed at first, its hard to go from talking about the "babies" to talking about the "baby," but I'm over that and just happy to FINALLY be pregnant with a healthy baby. Measuring right on track with a strong heartbeat! It was a crappy old machine and not very clear, I'm still excited for my transvaginal scan on Wednesday morning, and even more excited for my DH to get to see his little baby's heartbeat.

As happy as I am, being pregnant is like... the worst thing ever. If I am awake, I am sick. Luckily I'm not awake very often, all I want to do is sleep! I am pretty much living off of crackers and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, every thing else sounds terrible. Ready for the second trimester when I can do things other than sleep and vomit!

 

[oopsbaby]

Thank you Britt I am so scared for tomorrow. I've decided I'm not going to wait for Gynae/EPAU to ring me, I'm going to ring them at 9am, and ask to be seen and scanned. I just KNOW they are going to say they'll scan me Thursday cos there's always a 2 day wait, and I know I'm going to end up blubbing down the phone and begging and pleading with them to fit me in the last two days have been Hell. Although the bleeding has stopped, which I am so thankful for, I am just desperate to know that my little Pip is okay and has a heartbeat. I don't know how I'm going to survive if they can't see me tomorrow, the waiting is killing me xx

 

[nicola ttc]

I'd do that too Oops. I'm sure they must have spaces to fit in urgent scans, they just don't seem to like giving them out!! Call as soon as they open and hopefully they'll be able to see you today. The waiting is just awful. FX you get seen today and see little pip healthy and happy. Just keep swimming lo!!!!
Mrs Moo, i will be thinking of you today keeping everything crossed.

 

[oopsbaby]

Well, they've just rang me and offered me a scan on Thursday (as expected) but I'm feeling okay about it, since they rang me first thing and also, I think knowing "when" helps. So MrsMoo its all about you today. I have everything crossed for you. Will be thinking of you until I hear an update xxx

 

[nicola ttc]

well at least you know you have a scan booked now, and if bleedings stopped and cervix was closed they're all good signs.
Where are you Oops?

 

[MrsMoo72]

Back from scan, still not confirmed but looking like blighted ovum. Gest sac grown to 11mm but still empty and looks a bit irregular. Also got 17mm extra chorionic haemorrhage!! Rescan next thurs...

 

[nicola ttc]

Oh Mrs Moo i'm really sorry to hear that. Waiting to find out what's going on is so hard.
