So here’s part 2 (which is crazy to me)

There isn’t really an update as such I should hear today or tomorrow regarding a scan. I’ve got the MW again on Thursday and I suppose this week will be the week of grand reveals.

I’m sorry if I disappear for a day at a time I’m still trying to wrap my own head around this.

Congratulations OP!!

How are you doing Ohshitx? Have you managed to tell your Mum or Friend?

I really do wish you all the luck in the world. It's easy for people on here to get all excited and forget it's your real life and not a soap opera.
This baby is a blessing (they all are) but might well be putting you into a very difficult position financially and career wise.

OP I really admire your steady resilience, you sound like you are coping with a crazy situation very rationally and calmly. You sound awesome.

TickyTacky · 02/06/2020 17:33

Hope you've heard something todaySmileCake

ToftyAC · 02/06/2020 17:36

You seem to be taking it so well OP. I really hope everything turns out right for you x

HeechulOppa · 02/06/2020 17:42

Hope everything is going good op!

latheritup · 02/06/2020 17:42

Just wanted to share my well wishes on your surprise!! Hope you and baby are ok.

IrishCream123 · 02/06/2020 17:46

Anyone else popping back to see if there’s an update?

Mummygreenpea · 02/06/2020 17:47

Best of luck to you OP. I’m a midwife and we see mums all the time who haven’t realised they are pregnant. You sound like a strong woman who’ll do just fine! Smile

FlamingoAndJohn · 02/06/2020 17:51

Good luck. It’ll all seem real once you’ve had a scan.

Sipperskipper · 02/06/2020 17:58

best of luck to you OP.

My best friend's sister was a suprise baby, and they have a 9 year age gap. They are the closest siblings I've ever known!

Ohshitx · 02/06/2020 17:58

Hi,

Heard from hospital but as they’re running on skeleton staff I’ve got an appointment for next Wed. She has put me on a cancellation list though. I haven’t told anyone. I can’t find the words, I’m scared people will think I’m lying about not knowing. Or that I’m stupid for not realising. FWB gets back tonight at some point so that’s a conversation I can’t ignore for much longer 😫

I am excited for you. And you sound so on it. Lucky baby and DS

northernlittledonkey · 02/06/2020 18:03

Huge congratulations for your news and good luck for telling your friend tonight.

Smrahc48 · 02/06/2020 18:03

Blimey this is nuts.

lovewatchingrainfall · 02/06/2020 18:04

Oh my a week is crazy. Are you going to look at a private scan? Glad you heard from the hospital though. Good luck with it all

MrsMozartMkII · 02/06/2020 18:04

They won't think you're stupid. They'll be amazed for sure but that'll be about it.

Ohshitx · 02/06/2020 18:04

@northernlittledonkey

Huge congratulations for your news and good luck for telling your friend tonight.
It won’t be tonight, I don’t even know what time he’ll get back. But it’ll need to be soon 😫

congratulations and good luck OP hope your FWB is a good one Flowers

ballyboy · 02/06/2020 18:07

It's shocking that the hospital won't scan you sooner! Just Incase you were further along than you thought.

I'm a midwife and if someone came in your situation you would be scanned immediately!

Thesaltandthesea · 02/06/2020 18:07

Are you going to book a private scan in the meantime? A week is a long wait!

claireyjs · 02/06/2020 18:09

Good luck, hope all goes well x

Drybird2020 · 02/06/2020 18:10

Sorry to hear about the delay for the scan, that can't be helpful. For what it's worth, you sound like a really sorted, level headed person and a responsible, caring parent. I think you and your wee family are going to be just fine in the long term, despite the massive headfuckage of the current situation. Hang in there.

nymum · 02/06/2020 18:11

Congratulations! Really hoping everything goes well for you. It’s a shock and I hope you’re ok. It’s lovely for us lurkers, though, as there are few nice surprises to hear about these days!

TeaAndHobnob · 02/06/2020 18:14

Oh what a shame about the scan. I was hoping you'd be able to get it soon. Fingers crossed for a cancellation. And good luck for those tricky conversations Flowers
