I am sooooo tired, DS has last but one molar cutting at the moment, and I was too tired to realise he might need calpol when he woke several times last night
I suppose I'm a bit late to wish you a happy holiday Malteser, but hope you get that lovely tan.
misswoowoo would second getting yourself a reassurance scan -- early scans can be difficult to get in some areas but very rare they'll say no if you've had bleeding, as others have said, it can all be normal, but you need to know that for sure.
Anyone else debating early scans? Viv? other first trimester ladies? (brian's gone, can't remember who else was having this dilemma) -- I was definitely in the 'give me as many scans as possible' camp. Worried like mad before each and every one, but MC in Feb was 4 weeks after it had all gone wrong, and I was still sick and very tired all that time, I decided I would rather have known sooner. Added to which the odds do improve the later it gets, I know it's no guarantee, but it certainly helped me to know I'd got a bit further successfully each time. I was lucky to have an inexpensive clinic nearby though and was able to pay for 8 wk, 10 wk and 12wk scans.
Still worry now mind you...
TFLS that was an amazing post towards the end of the last thread, getting all your name-checking in before it's impossible with a little one? I'm looking forward to hearing that labour is going to be fine despite our advancing years.... I do hope it all goes really well for you. btw, is there going to be a Totally's grads post-natal thread? Feels like it would be rather sad to lose touch with you all in a few months time after everything we've been through... or even a thread on general chat to include those who, as Gilda so beautifully says, aren't on this list yet but who by all rights of the universe should be.
Good to see you btw Gilda, shocking boiler quote! Have you shopped around? Hugs for due date, I thought I was ok with mine but must admit I did feel very blue for a good few weeks afterwards. I do think it wasn't just the pregnancy hormones. It was really sad. Somehow I think I'll be ok with second MC dates, but that one was really really early, over before it began, so hadn't had so much time, with MMC, I'd had problems early on, then an ok scan, then started to bond........... I kind of needed that blue phase to grieve again, for me quite important and I'm glad I went through it so I can process it properly before this little one comes along, so the could-have-beens don't hang over me. I'm probably making no sense as a little sleep deprived, has anyone else felt somehow similar and can articulate it better? Suffice to say a few good crys recently have been cathartic.
SamB when do you see the consultant? Tomorrow? I'm thinking of you every time I see a Pembury road sign (a lot...) if we don't hear anything do we assume they've kept you in and it's all go? My induction at Pembury with DS was absolutely fine, I had a really lovely registrar and the midwives in the delivery suite were fantastic. Wishing you all the very very best if it's all happening this week!
Hopefully good luck for getting that scan, and good luck that all will be good news at the scan.
Liahgen, where are you? I am still crossing my fingers and hoping your 12 week scan was good news........ you're so quiet
Sorry to everyone else I haven't namechecked -- thinking of you all, I'm just a bit crap, brain addled and sleep deprived...
