Hello all! Thought I would start this off as our existing thread is full!
Evening all - I have started us a new thread off as this one will be full v shortly.
alibobins sorry to hear about your DD hope you are bearing up ok in the circumstances.
Crumpette I have started a thread in pregnancy about all the mad things people say when you tell them you are pregnant - its hilarious some of the things people have had said to them.
somewhat I am well and truly abandoned to maternity clothes. What a relief although slight horror as I am sure I didn't show until late August last time !
alibobins best of luck for you and your Dd! It is always hard when Dcs are ill, especially when it is potentially serious.
crumpette with Dd I kept being asked if it was planned as we are not married, even though I had relocated from London to be with Dp and we had been together for 5yrs

. Even comments from parents of children I taught saying they hadn't thought I was maternal - why I worked with small children and obviously I was going to discuss my fertility/sex life at the classroom door! Some people are just rude/nosy.
So much going on with everyone this thread moves so fast.
Got loads on my mind as Dd was diagnosed with an auto-immune condition two weeks ago and treatment involes weekly methotrexate injection and 3 days a month steroid infusions

its attacking her eyes and she could lose her sight

On a happier note I felt a really strong kicks last night so at least little one is okay only 4 weeks till my next scan.
yeah I think the least time spent with 'the family' the better! Thanks for hugs

it was all really horrendous but I don't think it has sunk in yet
What I don't get is why everyone feels the need to ask ''was it planned?'' when I say I am pregnant. Like, why are you asking?? Does it matter?? Are you going to judge me for planning it after this year's events or are you going to think am irresponsible if I say it wasn't planned? aaah!!
Sorry, but really, that's what I get asked all the time. Is it just me!?

Oh,
crumpette how sad! Be gentle with yourself, especially at a funeral. I think leaving afterwards would be a good idea, you are much more hormonal when you are pg too.
I'm so sorry about your DD Crumpette - thats just the most terrible thing.
Your plan for the funeral sounds like a good idea - especially if your family aren't too good supportwise. Please take things easy on yourself and get your DP to give you a RL hug {{{{{hugs}}}}}}
Thanks all - glad all positive! To be fair to midwife/docs I got results by post as had blood taken for test at hosp rather than in normal midwife appt as booking in was about 3 days too early for her to take blood. Was veh impressed by 3 day turnaround for results though.
Started to tell people and amused/annoyed by mixed reactions - what's wrong with a good old fashioned 'congratulations'!! (and why does everyone feel they've got to have guessed already - it's not against the law to be suprised
