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.

Hope all's well Flowers

GrandTheftWalrus · 05/06/2020 11:11

Just read both threads. What a shock!

Clarey1981 · 05/06/2020 12:46

Congratulations on your surprise. I hope the pregnancy goes well and I can't wait for the next update

FilledSoda · 05/06/2020 12:59

I would take all the time you need , let yourself process it first .
What's another week or two ?Grin

InescapableDeath · 05/06/2020 13:14

Hope you get a scan soon. I knew a lady who found out very late, and when she had the scan it put her even later than the midwife said and because they weren't 100% sure on dates they ended up inducing her pretty soon afterwards!

It was a shock but they're all really happy now and hope it works out as well for you.

Takingshape12 · 05/06/2020 13:49

I hope you are as ok as you can be.

I've just found out I'm pregnant with a much planned for baby and it's still a scary prospect even though its planned and I've already got one.

Take all the time you need to process this. A few more days wont matter. Get your head straight first.

Sending love

Lovely thread, congrats OP

Takingontheworld · 05/06/2020 13:51

OP, are you ok?

littlestrawby · 05/06/2020 14:15

Hope all ok OP Thanks

Oakmaiden · 05/06/2020 14:15

I hope you are OK, OP. Some of your posts have made me a bit concerned that you are not coping emotionally with this. Obviously I am just some random stranger on the internet, so you are more than welcome to ignore anything I say, but I would encourage you to share your news sooner rather than later. I know it is scary and you are worried about how everyone will react, but it will become a lot less scary when you have people in real life to support you.

I get that you are afraid they will be angry and upset - even if they are, you can't change that, and having it out in the open will mean there is one less thing for you to have on your mind.

I can't help but think that you will find people supportive, though. Shocked, maybe, but your friends and family will have your back.

Sending you lots of love and strength.

AlpacaGoodnight · 05/06/2020 14:17

Hi op, I hope you are ok. Saying it out loud will be the hardest part, I bet it will be a big relief once it is out there. Rip that plaster off and enjoy your short pregnancy!Flowers

WhenPushComesToShove · 05/06/2020 16:15

It's not twins is it?

NCTDN · 05/06/2020 16:22

Another one who has followed from your first thread. I hope you're ok OP Thanks

Wonkydonkey44 · 05/06/2020 17:11

Hi hope you’re ok, this happened to someone I knew in RL , turned out she had two wombs as she’d had a coil fitted a few months earlier and then fell pregnant on the other womb . Think she was further along than you when she found out!
Congratulations Flowers

avoandeggs · 05/06/2020 17:15

Hope you are doing ok op. I hope you have someone there IRL who now knows and can support you.

Tavimama · 05/06/2020 18:48

Sending much supportive love your way - been following since you first posted.

After 16 years of marriage we found out at 21 weeks that I was expecting twins. My DH had never wanted children.

Our babies are now 16 years old and are our world.

Keeping everything crossed for you 💕

anxietrist · 05/06/2020 19:11

What is the max number of people allowed on zoom? I feel like we should throw you a virtual baby shower with all of mumsnet

Imrubbishatuserables · 05/06/2020 19:17

Hello..
Congratulations op
Hope you are doing okay.
I've read both your threads, two of my close friends found out they were pregnant late. One on the day she went into labour and the other at about 33 weeks they have lovely, healthy children now.
@anxietrist i think you can have up to 100 people on zoom

hiphipwinetime · 05/06/2020 19:31

2018SoFarSoGreat · 05/06/2020 19:52

OP I send you so much love and support. I am a knitter, and would love to send something for the MN Surprise Baby - when the time is right.

ReyGal · 05/06/2020 20:04

Just read the first and now this thread. Congratulations OP! Hope all goes well telling family and FWB I’m sure it will!
I’ve got a little 2020 baby and it’s a hell of a year to be born in.

Rubbleonthedouble1 · 05/06/2020 20:17

I hope you’re ok. I’ve followed both threads. Congratulations 🥳
