The July 19ers - All aboard the rollercoaster for a 3rd lucky thread

@Betty lol! That's good smart financial planning! Saves money 😉

@Pegase I hope this is still a sticky bean! Where in China town did you go? Or was it not the London one? Conscious there are China towns outside London.

@Rose68 I hope you don't give up just yet and still get your rainbow!

No more bleeding @Rose68 but feel quite heavy in the pelvis/bit crampy like when AF is going to arrive iykwim. DH being supportive but obviously as we have had one pg with bleeding that resulted in a child and one that resulted in a mc, he is keeping his hopes up that it is the positive outcome this time. I'm struggling to but work super busy today so managed to push anxiety to the back of my mind. Thank you for everyone's support- I really appreciate it and it is so helpful having people who understand to stress with!

I would love a meet up eventually- Malaysia is one of my favourite countries. Had some great nasi lemak in Chinatown at the weekend vaguely in honour of CNY!

@tigsyboo that child sounds so so terrifying. Only 8 as well?!

@InDreamland I bought '6 for 4' 🙈

@Pegase how are you getting on today? x

My days go manic at 3pm, that’s when my day starts really 🙄
Anyway, now I have 5 mins to myself (finally)... it would be lovely if we did all keep in touch... but as for meeting up with our babies... I feel I would be being somewhat over optimistic if I agreed to that. I would like to keep in touch with everyone though, and I have been wondering if we should have a secret fb group rather than keeping in touch on MN. I think there were a few others that asked to join at the beginning, but they didn’t stick around for long. I definitely remember a proseccobee.

I have not been anywhere near the July thread for a long time, in fact it make me feel sick just thinking about it.

@Tigsy that girl sounds horrendous, it’s such a shame, her poor parents! I hope they get her the help she clearly needs.

I definitely have not bought any frers and I don’t intend to. I think I’m on the verge of giving up, but then I’m not sure I can handle giving up just yet. This whole thing is filling me with a sense of dread one way or the other.

Thanks ladies for all your replies - that is reassuring .......I think ......ok so I'm still anxious.

@Tigsy goodness me! What a scary job! My DH is a DC but before then the things he told me he was dealing with was just scary beyond all reason. Some kids just do awful stuff.

Sorry, I'm so busy at work I can't keep up during the day. Feel a bit like an imposter sometimes here as I just can't comment aa much, plus I wasn't on the AN thread or pregnancy due thread because after the first mc I was too scared to join anything until like 6 months pregnant. Meeting up sounds good, somewhere warm even better, a trip to see the rellies in Malaysia would work for me or if you want somewhere warm then I can host and jack the heating up 🤣

So have we all bought FRERs on boots 3 for 2?

Was just thinking this... if we did all meet up, I'd find it so bizarre calling everyone by their normal, given name... I think I'd have to refer to you all by your MN usernames 😂

See you all in Malaysia then!! It's always hot there! We always come back at Christmas and sometimes at other random times.

Tigsy that child sounds terrifying! Really weird behaviour.

Holy fuck Tigsy that's terrifying. I wouldn't know what to do in that situation. What were here parents like? Awful thing for them to be going through...!
Can you imagine going through months and months of ttc, a miscarriage, more months, finally having a LO and them doing things like that through no fault of your own.

Agreed with Twittle! A hot destination would be lovely idea for a meet up.

What do I do?? Pretend I'm not freaking the fuck out firstly!! Ha ha!!!
I put on my most scary police lady voice and tell her how much trouble she will be in if I ever have to come and deal with her again... then turn to the social worker and say 'good luck with that then!!' As I put my coat on and run!! 😂😂

oh blimey tigsy that really is terrifying! What do you do in that situation?

Btw agree, we should go where its hot to meet hahaha! Who is having us over then? haha

OMG @tigsy I think I'd be physically sick if I had to deal with a child like that - it's deeply frightening. It's classic early stage psychopathy isn't it? Or maybe actually doing it is quite far down that road now i think about it. My DS has a little wooden saw from his play toolset and he went through a phase of telling me he was going to cut me. He's only 2, didn't have a clue what he was saying, but it still made my stomach turn!!

I should add.... there clearly isn't any abuse... she's just a psychotic little cunt!! Now, I understand calling children cunts isn't PC .... but Jesus Christ this girl was a sociopath!!

Ah I've just caught up whilst having a wee!!
That would be nice!! I vote we all meet up where it's hot though!!! 😂

I have just been to a job where an 8 year old is killing her pets, her friends pets.... basically any hamster/ guinea pigs etc get it.
Usually I'd be thinking bad parenting, serious abuse etc.... but this kid has made my blood run cold!! She is 100% the next rose west. She honestly chilled me!!! I need a gin ......

I'm still here! Having fun skiing. I'm really beginner so mostly greens but managed a few blues today! Just waiting for DH to make it down from the harder run he was doing.

I really hope everything is OK with your little bean Pegase.

Meet ups would be nice but yeah not easy for me as we're back so rarely.

I haven’t got time to properly reply now, but I just wanted to say that was such a lovely message @edidxb! I will hopefully reply properly later x

I agree with you all, I've become very attached to this group! I didn't have time to check into the thread until 10am this morning and felt a bit weird!!

Rather I agree! Would be lovely!

Betty oh so so many FX

I just ordered FRERs from boots.com (the 3 for 2 is still on). Should be arriving in my birthday (Saturday which is also CD27). Living dangerously...

I really struggle to look at that group, I have popped in now and then but it just stings so much. It is the same when I see the 4 friends/family that are due same time as we were, especially on IG where they post their weekly bump updates! I don't think we did all make it here though, I think there were quite a few more wasnt there? Just remember it being like almost daily we were discovering MCs

Aww @edidxb that's so lovely.
I completely agree. This group has been my lifeline & I truly have grown to truly care for all of you. I'd love to meet up, I know it's harder for @edidxb & @kin who are lucky enough to live in sunnier parts of the world, but it would be fab. Perhaps we should try & organise a meet up, before babies/bfps & once again when all the babies are finally here.
So many of the July group were wiped out, I hope they are all OK. It does strike me as strange that we were all the chattier ones on that thread, then we all ended up here together.
I do glance at the July thread occasionally, but I still feel so resentful, which I hate because that's not my personality at all.

Good luck for the performance @edidxb xxx
