Glad to hear from you moon 
And yes, the joy of anonymity! I'm sharing everything on here! This thread has been incredibly helpful and very reassuring when needed (for me, around every 2 weeks!).
Lots of love xx

Wow - a new thread! Thanks for setting it up Cloudjumper
Takes me back to 3 years ago when I (a mere whippersnapper at the age of 41) was on the 40+ threads then. Think we had 4 threads in total, then by then we had all migrated to a post-natal thread, then 4 threads after that most of us wandered over to FB where we have been ever since! I still occasionally look back over the old threads as they serve as a kind of journal for my last pregnancy - quite useful now as hard to remember what I was feeling back then.
Welcome and congratulations RoTo72 - I had a similar experience in my early days of pregnancy as was scanned early and not much was found then had to return two weeks later, by which point a baby had appeared! Will keep my fingers crossed for you. By the way, I expect you will find yourself making some exceedingly poor choices regarding food over the next few weeks but it's just part of pregnancy as you know and at some point you will want to eat sensibly again And 
at the baby with a beard!
Mooncalf so pleased things went as well as expected today and that you had kind people caring for you (so, so bloody important). Here's hoping that you don't have too long to wait and we are all right here supporting you x
Ellie - will keep my fingers crossed for you for your scan and bloods next week - this waiting game is so hard isn't it?
I've calmed down a little bit about my job - have accepted I will probably just have to make the most of my time at home and remortgage to see me through. Citymole I have no rights whatsoever as an employee as I go to great lengths to disassociate myself from employee status. There's a couple of others affected too (men) so not linked to my pregnancy, although the pregnancy will make it very, very hard to get more work as I won't be available beyond Easter. I was approached today by a contact who heard I was looking and I said I wasn't available beyond easter and he said sorry no can do - the industry I'm in can be very small in some ways and so there's only so much embroidery of the truth one can do!
In other news, I've been getting a touch of the early 2nd trimester dooms, you know the 'oh I feel a bit normal again - what was the last 3 months all about then', and 'my tummy is looking a bit flabby but surely that is all'. I think I felt like this last time, but it doesn't reassure me much!

moon Hope you can get some rest now. I realise that the worry is still going to be there, wishing you lots of strength and the best possible outcome!
Welcome roto Sorry you are having a lot to worry about! Hopefully you will get more clarity at your next scan and that it was just too early to be certain.
I'm 33 weeks today and honestly look as if I'm about to give birth. 5 more weeks until my C-section, no idea how big I am going to be by then!
