Sorry I was off perusing other threads - I meant they should have acknowledged her other babies, or just congratulated the pregnancy. Does that make more sense? I've not been in this heartbreaking position, so I didn't know if it was really insensitive or I was just being unecessarily indignant on a stranger's behalf!

S'ok, I'm very rambly today...

I wish her all the best and hope her and baby are well. My sis had her 2nd miscarriage today so babies are on my mindSad

HooverTheHamaBeads · 24/08/2011 20:29

I wish her the very best.

And I think she is very lucky to be pg again so quickly at age 40.

Very painful, twisted keks

AnyFucker · 24/08/2011 20:33

yes indeedy Smile

Sorry to hear that about your sister pink4ever :(

NLatlarge · 24/08/2011 20:43

I agree Berry. But it is awful how easily some people seem to forget. I have a friend who lost a baby last in pregnancy. The baby was a girl and she has a name and a grave. A year later she was pregnant again and I heard mutual friends saying wouldn't it be nice if X had a girl at last. (She had older boys) I was stunned quite honestly because she already had a girl in my view - she just hadn't been able to take her home Sad Unbelievable how the stillborn and miscarried children are denied their existence.
In York there is a memorial in one of the churches to a stillborn child. The child has no name - I don't think they were given one at that time - but it is a permanent marble (expensive) memorial to a life that was of value to the child's parents and grandparents. So much so that they put up a public monument that can still be seen now 200 years later.

Cheeseandgherkins - wishing you and your baby all the best. I remember your threads from when you lost Scarlett. I hope for peace of mind for you and your family and good health for both you and your baby.

CheeseandGherkins · 24/08/2011 21:05

Thank you NLatlarge, it's lovely when people remember her name :) I'm 10 weeks at the moment so early days still but it feels the same to me now and I won't relax until this baby is born. I agree with you, too many children are just overlooked. I've had mc's as well as losing Scarlett and it's still pain regardless.

ThePosieParker · 24/08/2011 21:09

I wonder why, given her circumstances, they have to state which bloody child it is. Noone knows which pregnancy she thinks produced a child and so best avoided.

Amanda Holden is expecting again would suffice.

emmanumber3 · 24/08/2011 21:23

I tend to agree that the "number" of the child should either not have been mentioned or mentioned as her "fourth pregnancy". There is no way of the press knowing (without asking of course), whether Amanda herself considers the new baby to be child 2, 3 or 4 and they should not, therefore, assume on her behalf.

I really hope that both Amanda & Lily Allen get to take their babies home this time.

TheOriginalFAB · 24/08/2011 21:25

Cheese - congratulations on your pregnancy. Smile.

EightiesChick · 25/08/2011 08:46

Pleased for her. The news report I heard simply said she was pregnant and that she had lost a baby late in pregnancy last year. Less is more. I agree that the 'number' doesn't need to come into it.

kitya · 25/08/2011 17:47

I wish her well. I also wish I didnt know that she is expecting a girl in the Spring. Im supersticious like that and I also dont even know how they can know that yet. Bloody papers.

I hope she takes it easy.

SouthernFriedTofu · 08/09/2011 18:55

I hope she has a lovely boring boring pregnancy. CheeseandGherkins I wish you an equaly mundane and boring pregnancy!

GenevieveHawkings · 11/09/2011 21:35

As much as I wish this woman a healthy pregnancy and ultimately a healthy baby this time around I really am getting proper sick of reading about her.
