milly - sometimes they don't realise that bub can suck the life out of us!! I know DP thought the same way your hubby does when I was pregnant with DS. They just don't understand!!!
murray - sending you heaps of hugs and sticky vibes. I'm hoping the next few days go quickly so you can see bub at your u/s
Well girls, I;m pretty sure my time in this thread has come to an end, the bleeding has been continuous since about 8pm last night and with my levels that low I don't have much faith. I want to thank all you wonderful girls for all the support you have given me in the last week. Mwah
I am sorry Iona Big big cuddles as you grieve your little one.
Murray I just want to affirm to you that cramping such as you are describing is not at all unusual. Very very common - I had it with every pregnancy. Like you I expected to get my period at any moment. But I didn't! Please try and keep that positive in mind. I truly truly get how hard this is. I lost 3 little angels and 3 babies in my second trimester so I am so with you that the road is much harder after that BFP than before. You will get through this. One step at a time. Set yourself some goals. Tuesday is your next one. Then after then there is another. This for me was the only way I could get through. Sending you love.
MurrayCod - I had cramps like that too, and was convinced it was the end. I know it is hard to relax, but do try and just take one day at a time. sending sticky vibes
Milly - I have had "zero" libido. Try not to be down on yourself, it's really hard to be up for it if you are tired, anxious or feeling sick!
Iona - I am so sorry to see you go from this thread. I am sorry to hear your angel is gone. Take care of yourself.
MurrayCod - Hang in there! You only have a few more days till your scan and when you see that heartbeat I really feel your cramps will ease up as I am sure stress is playing a part in this.
Iona: oh no! I'm very disappointed for you. So sorry that your symptoms don't seem promising. I'll keep stalking to see how you are.
Murray cod: did you stay home in the end? I'm sorry you are in pain and worrying so much. I'm counting down to Tuesday with you when you get to see your baby. I can only imagine how unnerving the cramping is after all you've been through to get this BFP. I can only say again that in my experience cramping can be quite a normal part of pregnancy so i'm hoping that's all this is for you. (I've had cramps on and off this pg though not as bad as with my DD).
Millyd: ikwym. libido can leave the building and i've felt a bit guilty... like i wanted it before when TTC and now i don't so much. But it's not because 'oh i've got pg i don't need it anymore'. I can't help it if i don't feel like it. DH is pretty understanding but still lets me know that he's available any time i change my mind! I think it's hard on them because they haven't got any reason not to feel like it anymore (no crazy hormones going around) but i don't think we should have to BD a whole lot when we don't feel like it.
Milly5: hello, nice to meet you! Sorry you're uncomfortable. I don't think i have any helpful suggestions if the pillows aren't working, sorry!
Dory: Can't remember when I last said hello as we're crossing paths in a couple of threads but i think i saw somewhere that you are 26 weeks. I'm thrilled for you. Keep up the good work!
