started yet another as im aware were about 20 posts from full again lol!

Big congrats Suffolk! Berry sorry for rubbish photo. Maybe worth arranging a private scan when you can?

Just been catching up...

Congratulations Suffolk, great news!

Wow I have had a busy day around the house and still so muh to do. Feel better for tackling it though but now in need of a hot-ish bath and a large glass of...diet coke ha! Now that I am not feeling so sick the thought of alcohol isn't making me boak. In fact on my night out at the weekend I had a couple of alcohol free beers and they were delicious! (Becks blue are by far the best alcohol free beer)

Early night for me tonight.

Wishing you all a sick free night with no drama. We don't need any more drama or surprises on this thread (although more twins would be nice)

william Well according to my dates it should have been 9 weeks this week but at my previous (emergency) scan last week it was dated 6 so that's when I had an inkling that the baby might not have been developing as it should. Natures way.

You have your scan tomorrow right? Will be thinking of you, and wishing good luck to everyone else with scans tomorrow. Big love.

9:40 am is starting to feel like its in half an hour - don't think I will be sleeping much tonight!

Really really sorry to hear that ariel wishing you all the best for the future

oh ariel im so sorry for your loss

comgrats

So sorry, Ariel xx

Thanks, TiredFeet, I'll have a look at that later. I hope you're not feeling too bad this evening.

Thanks Harv & Kirjava , I wish we women could all be a bit more honest in rl, the way we are on mnet. i seem to be surrounded by serene, unflappable women to whom having a baby is no more trouble than having their wisdom teeth out; back to normal within a couple of days, that kind of thing! i've never been like that & don't expect to be this time around.

ariel really sorry to hear your news.

ariel I'm so sorry. Wishing you all the best for the future.

Really pleased for berry and suffolk

Ariel I'm so sorry to see you go, that's such sad news. Big hugs, you'll be missed xx

I'm glad to see the happy scan news too - such a relief for you guys. Still no date for mine, I'll be 12 weeks on Fri.

In a bit more good news DP was offered a new job today, phew! The start date isn't until June & then pay is a month in hand so that will be in July so it wont be easy but it's a job!! Why oh why am I one of those people who lives in her overdraft & the Asda price check is the closest to savings I have haha!

It's a career change so quite a pay cut but he's happy & excited about work which he hasn't been in a long time so we'll manage & it will be worth it.

ariel I'm so sorry - lots of hugs to you and your family x

Great news suffolk

berry I felt exactly the same -I suddenly didn't want to tell people! And my scan doesn't show arms or legs either ffs

Ariel it's so tough though. It's 9 weeks of a lot of hope and excitement.

Do try again. I got pg really fast after last mc (I've had 3) and you could be the same.

was meant to say congrats suffolk apologies. stoopid iphone x

Ariel - that's awful, I'm so sorry.

Saundy - that's good news about your DP. It will be good for him to enjoy work, even if it is a paycut. Have you chased anyone about your scan? Hope you get it through soon.

Fairy - I know. It's all very strange now it's out in the open! Mum is relieved, she's been dying to blab!

Bangon I know - we are our own worst enemies in many respects. After I had dd I probably did put on a bit of a front and acted as though everything was just fabulous and that I was super chilled out. Don't get me wrong there was bother major wrong - I just wasn't sleeping as was so scared in case dd stopped breathing, she fed every minute of the day and my c section wound was open for months and months!! (7 acyually!).

I didn't feel horrific but I could have accepted way more help and will this time of it is offered

Being a mum is the hardest, yet most rewarding job we will ever have. No job will be as hard or as fulfilling at the same time.

(Ask me if I still feel this way with a newborn!!!)

Meant to say - saundy - great news that your dp has a job, that must be a huge weight off both of you

Must get off mumsnet and concentrate ...the mantra isn't working!!! Plus getting drawn into silly debates about MMR jabs eeek!

Glad to here your do has a job Saundy! My DH just got a new to us Audi as he wanted something safer for the baby after I pointed out how unsafe the old Toyota was. He is like a kid with a toy, its a nice car and will last us a while, and hopefully will cut down the costs as his old car was costing us so much to run.

saundy great news about the job.

echo I got drawn into one of those mmr threads recently. So much time wasted.

i agree harv it can be rewarding, specially when you see them doing well.
i decided to try n make the most of the baby days this time. the last times were marred by bereavement and PND and they grew up quick. now dd has got her place at primary school, starts sept... i have no babies left... theyre all independent and i have to wrestle them for a cuddle now lol it only feels like 2 years ago i had her, but in fact its twice that.. my son will be up into juniors... unreal.

and good news about the job

great news about your DP's job Saundy that must feel like a real relief

just found out a good family friend who lives in the village has had a miscarriage, she was only a couple of weeks ahead of me. I feel utterly devastated for her and really conscious that (assuming everything is fine for me at the scan ) my pregnancy and child will always be a painful reminder as our dates were so close. I hate the thought of my presence causing her pain and she is such a wonderful mum I was so excited for her to be a mum again. have sent a text sending love and offers to help but I feel so totally helpless really.

tired I know how you feel, my sil had a mc just before we found out I was pregnant. Dh finally told her last week and although she seemed happy for us, you can't help but feel guilty. Especially as her and her hubby are trying so desperately hard to have children (she's now had 2 mc's, and is having tests to see if there's a problem) and me and dh have dd and now straight away this pregnancy, both without even trying. Its so hard to know how to act because you don't want to avoid them, but then you feel like your rubbing it in their face. Very awkward situation!

It may be worth asking the lovely people on TTC after mc for their advice about how to approach the situation. It's very difficult, so some inside info may be a good option

That's a good idea slippy.

lovely news about the job saundy

I know how you feel too tired - in my close family there are two couples who would love to have had another child and now here am I expecting number 5 - I know it's not fair - part of me is dreading telling them - I remember how upset I was when we were trying for DC2 and it didn't seem to be happening and all around me friends were having babies - but what can you do? You can't extra not have kids because other people can't - can you?
