Rainbow babies- for all of us holding, pregnant with and trying for our rainbows. While remembering all our darling angels

Omg this time next week I will (hopefully) be in the operating theatre - eeeek!

Glad you had a fab time at Disney angel 9 hr delay though rubbish! Hope you're not too tired today x

Moomins- thanks for the new thread.

Just popping on to mark my place, will catch up later. Hope you are all ok?

Whatever glad your little lady is calming down now ... (smile) xxx
Hi all; hope everyone is Ok? Xxx
Had a brill weekend in Paris & Euro-Disney.. Phebs an absolute star particularly as our return flight was delayed by 9 hours & we didn t land to 4 am!!!! All totally knackered as a result & found returning to work & nursery a nightmare today!!! I ve put in a request for an AL day on Thursday so fingers crossed & me & Phebs can rest up...
She loved some of the rides at the park & was good as gold considering she was up at 3 am on Friday & not getting to bed to 11/ midnight...
A total star.... ( wink)
Right , quick post as off to bed to catch up on my sleep ... Love to all xxxx

Hehe, just a thought, but if enough of us reply, then wtw's fanjo will make it into 'most active'

fan oh poor you. Sounds v similar (so, poor me too, then). It's the lack of recognition of the importance of their grandchild that is most hurtful, isn't it? I feel it as a real insult to E. Ah well. They really aren't worth the stress right now, so am trying not to think about it too much.

Another first, I am glad to hear about your fanjo, WTW! I have never said that before

that is a first fan all the pressure feelings have gone today so I'm guessing it must have been her head and she's moved again!

wtw hows the fanjo today but youve never been asked that before? I mean hows the pain today is it better?

poppet my FIL said something quite hurtful in the first couple of months, he said we needed to get a move on and give him a grandchild, not said exactly like that but near enough. I thought how insensitive, also because they have suffered a stillbirth and a late miscarraige themselves. But since then they have not said anything I think DH has told them to shut their mouths about it.
My Nan (who has also suffered a stillbirth) has also said we need to forget about Fi and move on.
Some people are insensitive, they dont know what to say. And when they do its not helpful at all.
Now when people say insensitive stuff to me I just nod, and in my brain I am giving them the finger! and then come on here and rant about it

Just quickly marking my spot!
Organising and leading holiday club this week, very tired!

Oooh new thread! Thank you moomin - and hello, nice to meet you Also huge congrats on 12 week scan going well! Sounds like your hospital are on the ball.

elly hope you are feeling a little better today...

wtw any update? Hope the little miss stays put until her official marching orders are given.

Thanks all for offering a listening ear re PILs. I am reluctant to go into their private business here. Suffice to say, you would think they would understand, and yet, despite our frequent attempts to explain, they really, really don't. It's not as completely awful as it could be, but quite hurtful.
(After I'd posted yesterday, already quite wound up about some things that had been said and done, a card arrived from them: "Try again as soon as possible! It will all be fine!"
...
The irony being that, if we do ever fall pregnant again, not only will they think that everything is 'fine', but also that it was because of their advice )

wtw I was booked in for an elcs and I asked what would happen if I went into labour before and they told me they would do an emcs unless the labour was too far advanced.

wtw watch out for period type cramps, well that's how my labour started. I guess if you worried go to the hospital. But I'm sure she is just resting on your cervix.

Thank you Elly for the old thread and Moomins for the shiny new one. My rainbow will be born on this thread

Do you know fan I've not asked what would happen if I went spontaneously in to labour I would ring them in a blind panic I'm sure!! I've no experience as I was induced with K!

Thanks for the new thread moomin x

Just heard news about Gary Barlow, my heart does go out to them because we have been there and know how hard it is/going to be for them all. It's just so sad, I just hope that it helps raise awareness of stillbirth and neonatal death, and that can only help to find research and try to get the rates down.

I saw an old friend yesterday who is pg with her second DC and it just really upset me - how hard this all is for us. I know that if/when I get pg it's only going to get harder during the pregnancy etc but at least I'd be a step closer to holding MY baby.

Hope you're feeling a bit more positive today fan

Well done blizy on your new mindee, can't be easy.

[waves] to everyone x

Thank you Moomin and Elly for the threads.

Hoping this one will also bring us luck and support.

fan I know what you mean. I guess it is a reality for us all the time, every minute of every day, but other people have the luxury of forgetting. Then something happens that reminds them and they think of us. The asking if you like someone more because of a shared experience is just plain odd! I have sympathy for Amanda Holden, but still find her really annoying ;)

*WTW 36 weeks! Wow!

Hello everyone x

Thankyou moomin for the new thread and ellypoo* for the old.

May this thread bring us joy with the births of rainbows and also BFP's

wtw if your waters go, what are the plans, have the hospital put any plans in place for that? Fx its just the little one moving down and resting on your cervix.
I know what you mean, it just annoyed me, I was being AIBU.
