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.

Hi,

I’ve told him. I’m also trying to work from home, homeschool a kid and get my head around it all myself. So if you don’t believe me, or are bored because I haven’t rushed back with updates, can I kindly ask you just leave the thread?! I don’t know what I’m supposed to gain from a made up thread to hundreds of women I don’t know.

We’re meeting tomorrow, I have a scan in the afternoon. I took the easy way out and text him last night, he rang this morning. He sounds OK, as far as I can tell. I’ve told him to take the day and if he wants to come tomorrow he can, he said he would like to. I haven’t told Mum, DS or anyone else.

I’m sorry I keep disappearing but this is my actual life, and while I realise it’s interesting and just a thread on a forum to a lot of people, it’s my life and I just wasn’t reading updates. So whatever the deleted comments are, again I can’t comment. Sorry.

You've handled this better than most people. Your whole world has changed in a moment. Ignore the doubters and if your FWB wants to be involved, good for him. If he doesn't, it's his loss.
I hope tomorrow goes well at the scan xxx

AliBear90 · 09/06/2020 16:16

Hope you’re okay OP. Glad to hear it sounds like he’s taken it fairly well. Hope all goes well at the scan tomorrow and at least you’ll finally have a date. Good luck telling the others.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 09/06/2020 16:19

Well done on telling him OP. That must have been really hard for you. Ignore the posters nagging for updates.

I’ve told him to take the day and if he wants to come tomorrow he can, he said he would like to. I haven’t told Mum, DS or anyone else.

Just check that he’s actually able to come to the scan. My DH wasn’t allowed to come to the 20 week scan because of CV. Check your hospital’s website.

LittlePeepoToy · 09/06/2020 16:20

Sorry you’ve felt pressured by some people on this thread 😔
Please don’t feel like you need to update at all anymore- i hope things feel more manageable soon and everyone take the news well :)

iklboo · 09/06/2020 16:21

Ignore the snide remarks OP. People forget your life isn't an episode of EastEnders they can rubberneck over. Hope all goes well tomorrow.

minmooch · 09/06/2020 16:21

Good luck tomorrow op. Sorry you have had doubters on here.

Please don't feel you have to update us. All of us are wishing you well in the most extraordinary circumstances. I think you sound pretty amazing and will cope. You just haven't had time or choices.

Thanks
LittleMissYorkshireLass · 09/06/2020 16:22

It was kind of you to update OP despite the few nasty comments, good luck for the scan and it was very brave of you to tell him, you don't owe us anything, I hope the scan goes well.

Duchessofealing · 09/06/2020 16:25

Very best of luck OP - I am in awe of how you are handling this. Flowers

smartiecake · 09/06/2020 16:25

Good luck for the scan. I really hope everything is ok. You sound like you are dealing with it so well.

matchboxtwentyunwell · 09/06/2020 16:28

I hope the scan goes well.

ToftyAC · 09/06/2020 16:32

Best of luck OP. I hope everything goes well tomorrow and in the future x

HauntedGoatFart · 09/06/2020 16:32

Good luck with the scan and telling your mum. You're doing great.

anxietrist · 09/06/2020 16:34

Well done, you're doing great ❤️

Cheeeeislifenow · 09/06/2020 16:35

Best of luck for your scan op. I think you are doing so well x

IJustWantFiveMinutesAlone · 09/06/2020 16:38

For everyone one of the rude people there are ten or more who are wishing you well. There's no pressure to update everyday or read every day. In fact it's probably better that you don't so you miss the stupid deleted posts.
I do look forward to your updates but have no expectation at all.

ItsJustASimpleLine · 09/06/2020 16:41

I'd still be hiding, you've done amazing and your baby is very lucky as even though this is hard you are dealing with it and thats on top of all the other things going on in your life. Wish the best for you and your family. Xx

allflownthenest · 09/06/2020 16:51

Good luck with your scan tomorrow and look after yourself

NCTDN · 09/06/2020 16:53

Well done for the first steps. Hope everything goes well with the scan- would be lovely if he is allowed to be there x

mamansnet · 09/06/2020 16:54

You're doing SO well op, ignore the idiots and just focus on staying calm and healthy. It's good that you've told FWB, he needed to know and now you can start figuring things out. Best of luck at the scan tomorrow!

MarrymeTomHardy · 09/06/2020 16:57

Well done for telling him Op, so glad he appears to be taking it well!
Sorry for the negative posters, I am genuinely impressed with how well you are handling this! WFH & homeschooling are stressful enough without a suprise life changing event!
Good luck for the scan tomorrow xx

MustGetOutofBed · 09/06/2020 17:03

Well done on telling the father, I'm sure it was nerve-wracking.
You don't need to update MN with every move or detail - do it in your own time, if you want to share.
Take care of yourself, in a few months there'll be a new baby and you won't be able to imagine life without them!

Aurorie11 · 09/06/2020 17:06

@ohshitx I've report some of the comments, they are troll hunters. Take care, post if it helps but your life, your business just do what you need x
