Hat should say devistates for you.

Magpie78 · 08/10/2013 19:14

Will be thinking of you PFJ, look after yourself x

mumof2aimingfor4 · 08/10/2013 19:16

I cant stop thinking about all the sad news we've had on this thread. I feel awful about it and im not even one of the ladies having to deal with the loss.

I'm signing off for the night, I don't feel like moaning about ms or chatring about anything as I feel like I should just be fucking grateful right now.

bouncysmiley · 08/10/2013 19:31

So so sorry pfg just been catching up with everyone and can't believe it. How awful. Hugs and stay strong.

moominleigh94 · 08/10/2013 20:10

PFJ I'm so incredibly sorry. I don't really know what to say, as I know there's nothing I can say that can make this any easier. I've sat here crying in disbelief and through sheer devastation for you. I hope that when you feel strong enough, you're able to come back and read this.

The thread isn't going to be the same without you. All the way through; from when I was petrified of telling my parents to gutted because they reacted badly, to excited and happy but paranoid over the slightest thing, you've been there for me. You've offered sound, fantastic advice coupled with hugs and support every single time, and it's been invaluable, it really has. I'm not sure what I would've done without your advice and support.

You deserve this so much after everything you've been through - and also because you are simply such a genuinely kind, caring person. If we are totally awesome then you are the giver of awesomeness, if awesomeness is even a word. The thread really won't be the same without you, and we're all going to miss you so much.

If you do feel able to come back and let us know how you're getting on, please do - but also, take time to grieve and to heal.

This is turning into a bloody essay now but I'm gutted for you, I really am. If you ever need anything, all you have to do is ask - whatever help I can be, I'll try my hardest. It's the least I can do for everything you've done for me.

Take care lovely. Massive hugs and lots of lovely cake Cake

thistlelicker · 08/10/2013 21:01

Good luck PFJ, hope you're ok today. xx

Isean · 09/10/2013 08:14

So sorry PFJ, such sad, sad news. Will be thinking of you lots. Look after yourself. xx

I have my "12" week scan today (11+2) because I will be away with work for the next couple of weeks. So scared & nervous I could hardly sleep.

Cupcake1985 · 09/10/2013 08:31

So sorry pfj. So sad.

Good luck isean it will go well im sure - dont worry. Put a pic on your profile!

7 weeks today for me.

loopylou52 · 09/10/2013 08:32

Wow, this is the thread's first 12 week scan isn't it? Good luck isean. Looking forward to some good news for the Maybies.

Thinking of you today thePFJ.

All went well with my booking in appointment yesterday. There was some protein in my urine apparently so she sent that off to be tested for infection. Hmm

thistlelicker · 09/10/2013 08:35

I said to my dh last night I hadn't had any stretching pains for a while. Woke up with lots of pains :-(

snoozysleeper · 09/10/2013 08:57

thistle is it possible for you to see a doctor today??

Good luck isean!

impatientlywaiting · 09/10/2013 09:05

Good luck Isean! I bet it's such a magical experience.

Thistle I've found that my pains have reduced. Was having fairly regular mild period pains, and now I can't remember the last time I had one of those. My intermittent pains have changed to a different type which I can't really explain but think its my uterus.

What kind of pains have you got today Thistle?

thistlelicker · 09/10/2013 09:09

Seeing the doc means I need to be I my death bed and wait two hours!! Pains are just like a mild dull ache right across the tummy! No need for paracetamol they seemed to have died down! Two mornings now I hAve had pins and needles! I think that needs checking now :-(

thistlelicker · 09/10/2013 09:09

Ohhhh 10+0 today!! 7 days til booking and scan !!

snoozysleeper · 09/10/2013 09:21

Well if pain is getting better then you probably can hold off Smile I forget my drs service are good - if I ring for appt there's usually one available same day..
Also as impatiently says you could be experiencing a new type of pain which could be related to your gestation/uterus growth ... Keep a close eye on yourself though!

AliOh · 09/10/2013 09:47

Ooooh first 12 week scan! Good luck Isean !

9+2 today and 5 days til booking appt (yay!)

bushprincess · 09/10/2013 09:50

thinking of PFJand her op today Sad

thistle glad to hear the pains have settled down but do get to a Dr if it gets bad

Isean let us know how your 12 week scan goes - so exciting!

9+0 today and had our first scan!! unfortunately with a rather old, not-so-powerful scanner and had to have a wand up the hoohah (TMI!)... but we saw a little blob with a little heart beat so couldn't be happier! DH is in shock but also allowing himself to feel happy now having been in complete denial over the last 7 wks in case it was lost..

Booking in for a 'proper' scan with a snazzy new ultrasound (not many of them kicking around in Harare these days) in a couple of weeks but for now am popping blobs first photo on the fridge and feeling incredibly grateful and blessed.

Have a good day one and all

xx

bushprincess · 09/10/2013 09:57

or make that 5 weeks... though it feels like we've known about it FOREVER!

snoozysleeper · 09/10/2013 10:33

Ah bush congratulations on the scan! And seeing your little one's heartbeat Grin

loopylou52 · 09/10/2013 10:38

Yay bushprincess, great news!
