So sorry, Cotton :( Wishing you all the best and agree with Thunder, let us know how you're getting on x

HeyMicky · 12/03/2012 15:51

Cotton so sorry to hear that. Hope you have a lovely, lovely holiday - come back as an honorary member in June x

Pixiepops · 12/03/2012 16:05

Really sorry to hear your news Cotton. Wishing you lots of luck for next time.

HettyTurner · 12/03/2012 17:14

OhCotton I was hoping you had some good news as nI was also told that my pregnancy wasn't going to progress. I had the option of a D+C or tablets and they kind of pushed towards the tablets which sounds horrid but at least it's not a general. So I have taken a tablet to stop the pregnancy hormones today and will go in on wednesday for a 'medically managed miscarriage'.

We're very sad obviously, but I', so relieved to finally know and have already booked a holiday in the summer to France and we will continue TTC as soon as we can.

I really appreciate all the support you've given me and I wish all of you happy and healthy pregnancies.

PopcornMouseInBoots · 12/03/2012 17:16

Thunder I had naively hoped the same but, seeing how active my DSis's 7 m.o. is, it's just not going to happen - I will need a nursery place same as everyone else, unfortunately!! But if nothing else, we're better positioned for emergencies/ill days/etc :)

Cotton I'm so sorry for your loss :(

GizzyBoo · 12/03/2012 17:29

Oh Cotton and Hetty I am so sorry to hear your news. Big hugs to you both and mucho respect for your positive attitude. Much love to you both and I wish you all the luck in the world for your journey x x x

Oh hetty and cotton I'm so sorry for you both I'm sure it will happen for you both again x x x I'm terrified now for tomorrow it feels so unreal that this is happening again to me went through this last year but I hope I am as strong as you both if my news is the same x x x

goodsenseofdirection · 12/03/2012 19:21

Cotton and Hetty, I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. come back and let us know how you get on in the future - very best wishes to you both xxx

on another note, i've been wanting to rant all day as the booking appt turned out to be another appt with the doctor which i already had previously and now the first available MW appt is on the 19 April when i'll be 15 weeks which seems crazy.... Thank goodness the scans are booked separately and that's on the 28th. Typical hackney mis-administration.

tennerlady good luck for tomorrow.

MissPenteuth · 12/03/2012 19:52

So sorry to hear your news Cotton and Hetty. Look after yourselves, and all the very best for the future x

Psammead · 12/03/2012 20:12

Beeblebear · 12/03/2012 21:02

Bubblebell1 · 13/03/2012 07:10

Morning girls. Hope everyone is well,

Had a nite of bad dreams and Not really feeling well rested. Sad

Scan Is in 2 weeks. I will be 12 + 4. Ds1 and mil are coming as dp is away with work, Patiently waiting for the 2nd trimester when I am supposed to feel human again.

babybrain3 · 13/03/2012 07:18

So sorry to hear your news cotton and hetty hope to see you back before too long. ????

I have my booking appt this afternoon! Very excited!! ? I hope we get to hear the heartbeat!!!

pinpan · 13/03/2012 08:27

A very good Antipodean evening to you all,

Had my scan today! A very much baby shaped bean was in there, bouncing around in comical style, and waving little fingers and toes all over the place. It has a perfect little nose! Why does that seem so weird? 67 mm long, and I've been adjusted forward 3 days (now 12+3, due on 22nd Sept so very much an impostor on this thread, but please don't throw me out Grin). Feeling much better too - occasional bouts of sickness but human in between, so hang in there bubblebell! Still waiting on the blood tests so keeping quiet a little longer, but the measurements today of all the things that matter were very well behaved (we had a student sonographer, and I think her supervisor was very pleased as it was basically a "this is what a baby should look like" session) so I'm feeling pretty cheerful.

Good luck to those with appointments/scans for the rest of the week! Thanks

GizzyBoo · 13/03/2012 09:41

YAY Pinpan that is great news Grin You have every right to be feeling cheerful!

Good luck today Tenner

I too am waiting for the 2nd trimester bubble but not at all patiently. I am sick of feeling rubbish. This cold is horrid. The sinus pain had me awake most of the night with a pounding head and achy face. Add to that the constant nausea and I am feeling very sorry for myself.
I am ready to bloom now please!!!

Good luck with your booking BB I'm not sure about hearing the heartbeat. My booking was just an hours worth of form filling and box ticking. They don't even try to listen here until over 16 weeks.

Hope everyone else is well Smile

CaptainHetty · 13/03/2012 09:41

Sorry you've had bad news as well, Hetty :( huge hugs to you both x

CaptainHetty · 13/03/2012 12:31

Finally got hold of the midwife! Booking appointment on Saturday afternoon :)
