It wasn’t wind... it was a baby!

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.

Take care and enjoy this time with DS xxx

Wow OP just read this and your previous thread. What an extraordinary time you are having! Hope you are feeling ok and your real life friends are supportive.

Quirrelsotherface · 03/06/2020 05:59

Amazing story, good luck OP Flowers

Starlight2004 · 03/06/2020 06:45

Wow congratulations! I read your last thread you seemed to be so calm. I would totally have freaked out. Good luck with the scan, I'm sure it will all seem much more real and you can settle into things more once it's over. Thanks

GeraltOfRivia · 03/06/2020 06:58

I stopped reading your last thread because I assumed wind. Found it again in trending and it's only a baby. Congratulations.

WendyHoused · 03/06/2020 07:12

Good luck with the conversations with your Mum and FWB.

It’s such a lot for you to take in. You’re doing amazingly well.

Chocolatehamper · 03/06/2020 07:27

I saw your first thread - just caught up with this one! Hope you enjoyed your weekend with you son and if you’ve managed to tell your Mum that she was supportive? Flowers

copycopypaste · 03/06/2020 07:28

Wow congratulations OP. I read your first thread and didn't get to the pregnancy test bit.

Hope it all goes well with your scan, mum, ds and friend

Misskittyfantastico85 · 03/06/2020 07:36

I read your first thread and was assuming wind. Congratulations OP and Good luck ready for when you have your conversations. Flowers

Celestine it's the op second pregnancy/baby and she didn't feel anything until she did last week which is why she posted the first thread. Smile

MyOtherProfile · 03/06/2020 08:09

Wow OP! I've just read this and your previous thread. You're doing so well! Hope all goes well with your scans and conversations!

Congratulations op Flowers

Some scan places put scan appointments on places like groupon cheaply. Sorry if you decided to wait for the hospital scans and not go to clinical places. Just don’t buy anything without checking availability first.

My best mate the night before she had her baby we were in a nightclub dancing and drinking. (19)
Flat stomach, no signs.
In the early hours she went into her mums bedroom saying she had pains. Her mum suspected appendicitis called an ambulance.
As the ambulance arrived 7lb 8oz baby girl came.

livinthevidalockdown · 03/06/2020 08:48

Good luck OP

EmotionalHangover · 03/06/2020 08:58

I’ve been on tenterhooks since the first post in May. I hope the conversation has gone well

Quillink · 03/06/2020 09:04

Going by this thread I'm amazed at how often it seems to happen. Good luck OP, I hope you can get an earlier scan.

Ohshitx · 03/06/2020 09:08

Morning,

I’m going to book a private scan I think. I haven’t told anyone, sorry. I know you’re all waiting for updates and I’m not trying to make this any more dramatic than it needs to be but it’s my life and I’m scared shitless at this point.

He got back last night, so I’ll hear from him today. Then I’ve just got to put my big girl pants on and decide when to have this conversation 😫

Redtartanshoes · 03/06/2020 09:09

Fingers crossed for you

GreenTulips · 03/06/2020 09:14

I don’t know where you’d even start the conversation. What’s he normally like OP? Do you think he’ll take it well? Have you met his family?

Binterested · 03/06/2020 09:18

OP you don’t owe anyone on this board anything. Yes we’d love to know how you are doing but as you know all too well, this is your life, not a soap opera. Don’t say anything on here if you don’t want to. A PP had a good point - have you thought about telling a close friend first just to get the words out ? Sending you all best wishes.

LittlePeepoToy · 03/06/2020 09:21

Agreed completely with bininterested we love seeing your updates but please don’t feel in any way pressured op. Hope when the conversations happen they go well for you 💐

Wilberforce1 · 03/06/2020 09:22

Op you don't have to apologise to a bunch of strangers on the internet for not giving them the updates that they want! This is real life for you and you have to do it how you want to do it. We are all here for you but you don't have to rush things, well it's a bit of a rush because you're having a baby in a couple of months but take your time this week!! x

As much as we are all loving this thread, we need to remind ourselves that this is your actual life. I can only imagine how terrifying this must be for you.

Continue to do what you need to do to cope. We’re all here cheering you on for a happy ending.
