Sorry mrsg. Worth going to the scan anyway!

hope pain stays away treacle!
lie away poly! I think I might lie too by telling them date of first period (didnt ov til cd24 so that will hopefully make me seem earlier than I actually am :)

Seem LATER than I actually am. Shouldn't type and talk at the same time!

Thank you everyone. :) What a lovely bunch of virtual-friends I have found on this site. It means so much.

Yes, will still go tomorrow, but I know bean has gone. As you say it will be good for them to check me over and see what I need to do next.

Xx

MrsG I hope they are lovely at the GPs tomorrow. Take time to look after yourself.

Hugs to both Treacle and MrsG tonight. Hope things are not awful for you at the doctors tomorrow MrsG x

Hugs all round ladies. You're all such a lovely bunch and so supportive. I hope those who need it are getting as much support in real life as we try to give here xxx

I hope it's not too bad Mrsgingerbread. Will be thinking of you. What time is your scan? Mine is at 10.15.

Thanks fancy :)

Thanks treacle hope yours goes well. Mine is at 1.20. Hope they are pretty much running to time, I'm not looking forward to it!

DH is working away (great!) so I'm going with my Mum. Don't know what I would do without you all. Thank you.

Fingers crossed you aren't waiting around tomorrow. Big hugs.

I just hope I can start moving forward after tomorrow. Guess we have to wait and see.

Good luck tomorrow MrsG and Treacle. I'll be thinking of you.

Thanks Poly :) It's odd how a week ago tomorrow I was praying for everything to be clinging on in there and now I'm hoping it's all gone.

Good luck today ladies

Hugs for you both tomorrow :-(

Today* sorry brain not in gear yet!

So sorry MrsG...hope you get on okay at the scan xx

Eurgh! Feel very crampy this morning! When does that stop?!
Good luck today Treacle and MrsG, will be thinking of you.

Treacle and MrsG I'll be thinking of you both today

Thinking of you treacle and MrsG xx

English I'm 11 weeks today and still getting cramps occasionally. I had them pretty much constantly until about 7 weeks I think.

Starting to feel a bit anxious now. I think by the time my scan gets here, around 20 people will know (so much for not telling anyone...) and I'm terrified of a MMC. DH doesn't understand my worry, but I've just got this niggling feeling that won't go away. I'm hoping it's just me being a bit "glass half empty".

Chilly I am exactly the same apart from we haven't told anyone. I'm terrified of a mmc. I've played it through in my head 1000 times. I'm probably completely paranoid but there is this nagging doubt all of the time. Hopefully it's all in our heads.

Good luck today ladies. You'll all be in my thoughts x

Thanks everyone. chilly, try not to worry about how many people know. Since finding out I'm miscarrying more people have had to know as I've just not wanted to lie to them and needed their support.
Long as they would be there for you should anything go wrong then it's fine they know x

I really wish we hadn't told anyone but it's just such a long time and people do start to guess especially when you're usually glugging back the wine

People we've told:
DM, Nan & Grandad, DMIL, DFIL, Dad, Friend 1, Friend 2, Friend 3, Business partner, Life coach, DSIL, DBIL.

My Dad will be telling my Grandad and his partner on Friday, then my Auntie and Uncle on Saturday (I couldn't really say no to this, he was pretty bloody excited)

Meeting up with friend on Saturday so will probably tell her.

Then I'm expected to tell: SIL, BIL, SIL, nephew 2 days before scan.

I'm actually freaking out. Weirdly, I think it's because I don't think the people I'm expected to tell 2 days before scan will be pleased. In fact, I can see them all sulking over it. It's almost a case of if I did have a mmc, I can actually see one of my SILs smirking over it. We don't exactly get on as it is so I can just see my pregnancy being the final nail in the coffin.

I know full well everyone else I've told will be full of sympathy and understanding (and would be upset themselves). Still, only 12 more sleeps until the scan.

I really want to tell someone but DH wants to keep quiet. My logic is that telling someone is not going to change things. And like you say treacle, if anything (god forbid) does happen I'll want them to know anyway. I'm goin to wait until 8 weeks and then tell my best friend. Can't tell DM yet, she was so upset last time.

x-post treacle Lightbulb moment for me though, definitely feeling freaked over telling the SILs. I don't think I'm going to tell them. MIL will be cross with me (she's fed up of keeping it a secret) and DH wants to tell them so we don't have to actually visit them two days later (I do understand this) but big announcements at a family dinner never go well. I think I'm getting flashbacks to DMIL doing a big toast to celebrate our engagement and calling me by DHs ex wifes name. Twice. Both SILs were smirking and could hardly contain their obvious enjoyment of this and then I heard them laughing and bitching about me in the loo later. One SIL even stopped my FIL from doing a speech at our wedding by saying "Make sure you get her name right". He then got so stressed he couldn't do it. I didn't hear my Dads speech either (small wedding, hardly any of my family there so seemed pointless him doing one. I really regret that now)

Argh, bloody hormones. I've made myself cry.

Chilly if I were you I'd not tell the evil SIL's. And then just call them to tell them after to avoid an unnecessary trip. Fuck them, they sound horrible. DM will have to accept your wishes, it's your pregnancy, not hers.

You're right english. I won't even call them, a text message will do. MIL can tell one SIL (I think she already has to be honest) and DH can tell the other.

If I did a post about all the things they've done over the 9 years I've been with DH, you'd all call me a liar. One that still stands out is SIL showing me a guest list for her wedding abroad in a couples only resort.

DMIL + DFIL
Her mum + her Dad
Friend 1 + partner
Chilly's DH + ?

We were living together at this point.
