August 2014. What a Christmas present!

[Choccywoccydodah]

Thread number 2 ladies.

It's a perfect Christmas present for me!

I was wrong last time guessing the sex. I spent the whole pregnancy saying 'he', then being amazed during the EMCS when I was told she was a girl! So I don't trust my judgment now. :-)

I'm an emotional wreck today. We found a little girl in the garden centre who'd lost her mum and nanny and I got tearful handing her to the customer services desk!

There's a thread on chat about films which make you sob which has set me off too.

And DD is teething and clearly in lots of pain, and that's making me cry too. I'm a red eyed, puffy faced, soggy wreck!

Aw bless you hungry I'm the same! I'm like a ticking time bomb of tears

Hi guys just checking in!
Choccy - so sorry for you :( hope you're feeling ok.

Not much to report here, had to register at a docs closer to my house as I was still at my old docs which is half an hour away, ringing the midwives on Monday!

I was just wondering how many people everyone's told so far and how you've told them?? I was going to give DP the positive test(s)! for Xmas but couldn't wait!! Besides that I've told my 2 closest friends by saying "so... You're going to be aunties!"

DP and I were thinking of getting both our mums a nice photo frame with a note behind the glass saying something along the lines of "photo to come aug 2014... baby (last name)" :)

mammabear I love the idea of the photo frame, that would be a lovely gift!

I've only told a couple of friends so far. My best friend I told immediately, send her a text of the positive test saying 'so this has been my Saturday night, how has yours been? '

I have no idea how to tell my parents! I'm almost embarrassed to do it because we have been so vocal for so long about not ever planning to have babies!!

misery I'm the same, I know they'll be happy and excited but I can't seem to find the right words... That's why we settled on the gift idea so it can kind of speak for us, and I can just sit back and watch her reaction! Lol!

Hi everyone; had a horrendous week; miscarried on Wednesday. Won't go into details but I wanted to say thank you for kind words that I was given earlier in the week and sincerely wish everyone a healthy, happy pregnancy. Hopefully I'll be joining another of these threads later in the future xxxxx

We told parents as soon as we saw them both times, and actually I've told more friends this time, 5 people who were really there for me when we lost the baby, I figure why keep it from them since they were such a support. Told our siblings too, both my SILs are PG. And finally, my grandma, I went a few nights ago as she is going away for Xmas and she is a heavy smoker so told her as soon as I arrived in case she decided to have one, she usually doesn't hesitate because I'm an ex smoker.

mrs I am so so sorry, massive hugs, thinking about you xx

Mrs, I'm so sorry. Like Choccy I hope you have your DH / DP taking good care of you.

I hope you have a successful pregnancy very soon. Xx

We will just blurt it out to my parents. I'm guessing DH will email the scan picture to his family like he did last time!

Oh dear mrsm and choccy, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry to hear your news mrsm and choccy x

Oh mrsm I am so sorry :( Sending hugs and positive vibes for the future

Mrsm I'm so sorry, sending you hugs x x

Sorry to hear your awful news MrsM and Choccy

Oh mrsmusic I'm so sorry, I had really hoped it'd be ok :(

And I'm sad to hear your news too choccy

Obviously my mum dying was horrendous but it's also the reason we decided to go for #3. I got back to the us after the funeral and something had changed in me. I just said to dh that I really want another child in our family and surprisingly he agreed. So it does feel very bittersweet.

I've had a super busy day. It was my youngest's 7th birthday party which is always exhausting but great fun! I'm very proud of the cake I baked so will put the picture up on the fb group to faceboast ;)

Hi

Please can I join? I am new to MN having just found out I am unexpectedly PG.

Dr says I am 5.5 weeks due 12th August DC#1 and I am terrified of losing the baby.

We've told parents but not siblings as my brothers gf miscarried after ivf a few weeks ago and don't want to hurt them if not necessary.

So sorry choccy that is devastating.

Marking place. So sorry choccy and mrs

choccy - are you certain you're miscarrying? Would you like us to restart the thread so that it doesn't keep coming up in 'I'm on' or 'threads I started'?

I think a new thread is a good idea too.

Hi b3lla hope your feeling well, welc

Oops poster before I'd finished. Welcome to the thread, it's natural to worry, I am and it's number 2. I think I'm even more worried than with first. But all the girls here will help to ease your worries x x

Good morning,
Could I join the group please?

Kind of knew I was pregnant OV+7 but confirmed with several tests over the last few days.

Incredibly anxious as I'm surrounded by friends and close family members who have all miscarried in the last year, some several times, so don't feel able to get excited yet... Not many symptoms either, just some bloating. I would love to start feeling more pregnant...

Am going to tell family at Christmas because we kind of have to: staying with my inlaws and they will be filling us with the traditional family meal of rare steak, chocolate mousse and champagne! D'oh! Thinking of giving them a gift of a positive pregnancy test - but when warning them that it's VERY early...

Anyway. That's me. I'm really sorry to hear the sad news on this thread so far and hope we can all support each other through everything to come. Good luck to all.

Morning all. Welcome to the newbies Have added you both to the stats list. Wasn't sure if choccy wanted taking off the list yet or not? I didn't want to remove her without her say so.

I'm so sorry MrsM and Choccy :( i hope you have some good support around you right now.

Congratulations to all the new posters

I was wondering whether we should restart the thread too, ATruth. I don't know if Choccy will come back to it or not though and I wouldn't like to do it without her say so.

Hi to the newbies. :-)

DH says I've got a bump now (well, my belly has changed shape as thanks to utterly destroyed abs - thanks, DD - my tummy will never be flat again!) which is obviously early bloating.

My night sweats are disgusting now; really grim indeed. Anybody else really suffering?

Hi, can I join please. Did a test yesterday and got BFP (2-3 weeks) so due around 22 Aug. I am 38 and this will be my second. Have one DD who is 3.

Super excited and still getting my head around it all.
