fm have read the other thread and I can't understand it either. They obviously have nothing more to worry about than dragging it up again. (They should be so lucky!) We all support eachother on this thread, we never pick holes in eachother. I am sure that Sassy will know this. xx

Many many congratulations Caz, I was like this Grin at your news.

I haven't seen that thread about SS, some people obviously have too much time on their hands and no social life if they are raking all this up again.

frasersmummy · 01/03/2011 14:46

caz you need to whisper louder (or I need to read before ranting)

great big congrats.. you know on this thread more than any other we will be praying for a safe outcome for you all

its going to be a long hard 9 months but we are ll here to help you each stop of theway

Minione · 01/03/2011 15:18

Caz - I'm soooo happy for you xx

Hope you are all ok, I've a had little bit of bleeding the past few days. Very light, and its been pink then brown (no red/fresh blood) but I can't get an appointment at the epau til monday morning. I've had no pain so hoping its old blood but I can't help but worry. I don't think I could go through anymore shit. I looked at myself in the mirror and I've aged so much over the past year. I was 32 yesterday, I thought I'd have at least one child by this age.

Sorry for moping.

I haven't read the thread about sassy but I wish they'd leave the poor woman alone, they're like vultures picking over a carcass.

PPM - well done for yesterday, I really admire you x

frasersmummy · 01/03/2011 17:24

oh mini is there any point in saying dont worry????

you must be going through hell...

all our thoughts and prayers are with you ... like you say you dont need any more shit

Get plenty of rest... seriously everything else can wait you and your baby come first.. take care mate

thinking of you

Minione · 01/03/2011 17:55

Thanks FM. It seems to have stopped today (only a teeny weeny bit of brown blood. I feel awful about missing work too

shabbapinkfrog · 01/03/2011 23:04

Anyone here able to help with Toms English homework LOL. They have to find out why Shakespeare wrote individual scripts for every actor in his plays. Have tried googling it but not got any joy yet. His teacher said each actor was given their lines but the other actors lines weren't on the paper?????? Either that is true or Tom has been 'away with the fairies' in her class Grin

shabbapinkfrog · 01/03/2011 23:15

Minor crisis over Grin

Just googled for half an hour and found out that he didn't want his scripts to be stolen by anyone else so he only gave the actors their own lines and cues!!

Got a headache now!!

shelleylou · 01/03/2011 23:31

mini i hope everything is ok. Thinking of you

shabbapinkfrog · 02/03/2011 07:45

Morning girls xx

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 02/03/2011 08:40

I hope all is ok today Mini. I had light bleeding during my first pregnancy and all was ok, it's not always a bad sign - albeit a very worrying one. DON'T feel guilty about taking time off work, you and the baby are the priority now, not work Smile

Well done for finding the answer Shabs - thank the Lord for Google is what I say. I beleive Shakespeare and Marlow had a great rivalry which is probably one of the reasons why he was worried about his scripts being stolen.

It's dh's 40th birthday today. I'm officially married to an old fart Wink

shabbapinkfrog · 02/03/2011 09:33

Awww Happy Birhday old fart xxx

shabbapinkfrog · 02/03/2011 09:33

...or even, BIRTHDAY!!

frasersmummy · 02/03/2011 11:02

OI ILIKE!!!!!!!!!! 40 IS NOT OLD Grin

teachers seem to expect parents to do more and more with their kids dont they??? I know Ross has just started but I feel like school provides the materials and we have to teach!

shabbapinkfrog · 02/03/2011 11:32

Worst thing that ever happened to our schools is the National Cirriculum (wrong spelling LOL!!) that...and not being able to punish the kids. No room for the teachers to breathe I reckon. Whatever happened to those teachers we knew we could 'take off' the subject of the lesson and it wouldn't matter. Toms year 9's have already chosen their options (by themselves!!!!!!) and his Maths teacher reckons he is going to fast track his class so they sit their GCSE next year - then they have to choose another subject to do in Year 11!! Which means they will have from September to about May to learn an entire new subject and enter another GCSE....Well his Maths teacher thinks that is going to happen. After talking to Tom and it being Parents Evening on Thursday I am quite confident that I will be able to sway the dear Mr. Patel from that course Grin

Minione · 02/03/2011 17:24

Hi everyone, no bleeding today so hopefully that is a good sign.

I didn't know that about Shakespeare, Shabs and I'm an English teacher! Which play is Tom studying? We have parents' evening tomorrow night too, wish we hadn't I'm shattered and I've only been back one day.

Hope everybody is ok x

frasersmummy · 02/03/2011 18:05

Mini.. I have been back and forward on whether to post this ...but I reckon better to say it now than wish I had said it in 8 months time

I had light brown bleeding with Fraser... they said with hindsight it was the first sign of trouble and probs meant the placenta hadnt attached properly

Now if they had done the growth scans properly Fraser would be here with me now so please dont think the worst. Just fight for extra growth scans from 32 weeks and if baby seems small/not growing make them deliver as soon as baby is strong enough

I really hope I havent freaked you or upset you.. I just want you to get the best care

please forgive me if I have upset you - hope you know I have posted this with the best intentions and I am praying for a safe outcome

take care

Minione · 02/03/2011 18:49

Thank you FM, you haven't freaked me out and I appreciate your honesty. I will be getting scanned more frequently so I hope they will keep an eye on such things. I had very heavy bleeding at 13 weeks with Malachy, no reason was given for this but I wonder if there was any connection.

peterpansmum · 02/03/2011 22:14

Evening everyone! Caz congratulations x And good luck mini x

I've been a busy busy bee the last couple of days! as part of the work I'm doing I've created a blog - don't really want to post the link here at the moment but if any of you want it who are not on my facebook then drop me a pers msg to my inbox. I am still buzzing from monday!

was out for another walk this morning and Gregor's St Davids St Davids are definitely on their way Grin (well there's about 2" of green sprouts in the woods as it's pretty shaded in there)

The bereavement section is all i use mumsnet for these days and from what you guys said earlier i am glad as I don't think i'd have been restrained enough not to pass comment.

janedoe25 · 02/03/2011 23:06

Hi, can i join in this thread? My name is Janedoe and my baby girl was stillborn on 28th feb. I went to hospital on the sat (26th) as i hadnt felt the baby move, after monitoring they found she had died. My labour was induced and Zoe was born on Mon 28th feb 2011 weighing 7lb 2oz (41 weeks) and was perfect in every way.

Giving birth to her was the hardest thing i have ever done and i am struggling with the grief at the moment. We are starting to arrange her funeral and i just dont know where to begin.

We were lucky enough to have spent a few hours with her after birth and we were able to have a few cuddles with her. Right now though i am aching to hold her in my arms, i miss her so much already.

lavandes · 03/03/2011 06:35
