Welcome to the newest thread of support for those ladies who are pregnant or trying to conceive after terminating for abnormalities. Since this thread first began (almost ten years ago!) there have been stories of heart break, sadness and fear, but from these stories there have also been stories of happiness, success and most importantly, hope. Here they are, our thread babies, and may the list continue to grow:

My friend has just announced her pregnancy. I'm over the moon for her, genuinely. The only thing is that our local hospital aren't allowing partners into the scan room at 12 wks. This news has literally knocked me for six again, every doubt is now flooding back x

Kiki275 · 06/10/2020 07:40

Thinking of you @MummyBearBoo hope everything is going smoothly x

NoCallerID · 06/10/2020 09:01

Ahhhh I've totally missed this @MummyBearBoo
I hope you've got your little baby safe in your arms already ❤️

Redhead43 · 06/10/2020 22:33

Hope all Is going well @MummyBearBoo xxxx

@MummyBearBoo massive congratulations, little Isabelle is absolutely gorgeous ❤️ hope you're enjoying lots of newborn cuddles! Xxxxx

Redhead43 · 08/10/2020 06:04

Awww congratulations @MummyBearBoo She’s perfect and what a gorgeous name. Enjoy every minute of cuddles xx

Buzz22 · 08/10/2020 06:34

@MummyBearBoo congratulations! I saw your photo on the oct babies thread. She is just adorable 💕

I'm still waiting for baby. Feeling increasingly anxious as each day passes and no signs of labour yet. I will be 40 weeks tomorrow. Had an awful nights sleep and ended up reading about full term stillbirth and scaring myself.
I dont think I will relax fully till this baby is here safely.

Mummabear40 · 08/10/2020 06:35

@MummyBearBoo congratulations, she’s beautiful!

Kiki275 · 08/10/2020 08:01

@Mummabear40 congratulations! She's beautiful ❤️. How are you?x

Treaclepie19 · 08/10/2020 08:57

@MummyBearBoo she's perfect! 💕 congratulations!!! Hope you're doing well?

@Buzz22 I'm sorry you're feeling anxious. I'm sure baby will be here safe and sound very soon! Please don't read any negative stories, get the oxytocin flowing with positive birth stories instead. Hugs x

Redhead43 · 08/10/2020 18:41

Awww @Buzz22 Sorry you’re feeling like this but @NoCallerID is 100% right read the positive stories. Good advice. Hard to avoid negative stories but positive thinking goes a long way. You’re little bundle will be here safe and sound before you know it. Enjoy the last few days or hours xxxx

Mummabear40 · 10/10/2020 07:29

How are everyone’s TWW’s going? I had a bbt drop today on CD 27 so AF will arrive tomorrow right on time 😭 can’t believe another cycle has passed me by.

NoCallerID · 11/10/2020 09:32

@Mummabear40 I'm so sorry. Same over here - tested negative from 9dpo. AF arrived in full force this morning at 15dpo!!! That really messed me up. I've upped my Agnus Castus to 20mg/day and I ovulated on CD16 for the first time ever, so it might also have lengthened my LP to 14 days. Fine by me, I can live with a nice 30 day cycle just wasn't expecting it.
Here's to a new lucky cycle for us! 🤞🏼

Mummabear40 · 11/10/2020 11:04

Same here @NoCallerID AF arrived this morning and I’m gutted 😭 I ovulated CD15 which is super early for me as before our loss it was always CD20 I ovulated. Let’s hope this cycle is our lucky cycle 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Kiki275 · 11/10/2020 11:47

Sorry to hear this @NoCallerID @Mummabear40. I'll keep everything crossed for your next cycles x

Kiki275 · 14/10/2020 22:55

Hi ladies,
Just checking in to make sure you're all okay? I'm on the TWW xx

Redhead43 · 15/10/2020 08:02

Hiya @Kiki275 the dreaded TWW hope it goes smoothly for you and this your cycle.

Will be lighting a candle tonight to round off baby loss awareness week for all our angels 💕💙 xx

Mummabear40 · 15/10/2020 09:24

Hey @Kiki275 good luck with your TWW, it feels like the longest wait ever doesn’t it.

@Redhead43 yes we’ll be lighting our candle for Joseph tonight 💙💙 xx

Kiki275 · 15/10/2020 09:40

Yes, I'll be lighting my two for my boys. The vicar gave us some after the funeral and I cherish them x

Kiki275 · 15/10/2020 19:10

Thinking of you all tonight, huge hugs from me xx
