i'm afraid guys I am going to have to leave the November thread. Started bleeding heavily in the night, and lost the baby a few hours later. feeling extremeley s**t. But we're not giving up hope, we are going to try again as soon as its okay to. I hope that all your pregnancies go well and you have wonderful healthy babies.

Thank you so much for your support, having a network like you all, has made a real difference.

Best of luck to you all

Oh Diddle, im so sorry for you. Please take care and rest and come back if you need to talk. It may be hard for you but we can still support you. I really dont know what to say execpt i do know what your going through and i know you need time alone to cry and grieve and get angry, but we will be here when you are ready to talk. Take Care Honey.

tex111 · 03/04/2005 08:26

Diddle, I'm so so sorry. I know how you're feeling right now. Don't give up hope. It will happen for you. Just being able to get pregnant is a huge step. Take some time to pamper yourself and grieve as much or as little as you need to. CP3 is right. We're all here to help. Big hugs to you, sweetheart.

Enthusia · 03/04/2005 09:03

Oh I am so sorry Diddle. As everyone else has said, please stick around for any support we can offer. Have not been in your situation and can not even imagine how sh*t you feel but we are here if and when you need us. Ps. please keep us posted on future developments!!!!!

twinkle1 · 03/04/2005 09:23

All my love Twinkle1

Thinking of you and praying for you x

BEKsmum · 03/04/2005 11:04

Oh Diddle, I'm so sorry for you and your dh, sitting here typing with tears in my eyes, I'm gutted for you. I haven't been through this so like the others can only imagine how rough it is for you at the moment. I hope you know we will all be here to suppport you if you need or want our input.

Take care of yourself and I hope that your close friends and family can give you both all the love & support you need at this awful time. {{Hugs)) BEKSmum

Back for some support, am a nervous wreck! After 3 and a half years of TTC I had this idea that getting a BFP was going to be IT! I never realised that so early on i was going to be so worried and anxious. I have my first scan in the morning and i am so worried. I am reading too many stories on other forums about doctors who could not find heartbeat and i am just so worried...its been so long to get this far. I'm so happy that i've managed to conceive but i'm so so worried and i'm waffling now..oh gosh.

ChaCha · 03/04/2005 11:52

Em...record breaker for using the word worried! Crikey! How many worried were in the msg..answers on a postcard pls..

Enthusia · 03/04/2005 13:00

Cha Cha

Know what you mean never thought being pg could be so stressful so early on. It never occured to me so many things could go wrong and that you would worry about all of them.

No doubt your scan will be perfect tmrw and fill you with all those mushy feelings you deserve, actually quite of you for having a scan so early. I haven't even got a date for mine yet, but will probably be at 12 weeks.

Feeling a little better today as my fantasic dh has the day off and the sun is shining. However, the sad news of Diddle's has made me realise, yet again, what an early stage I am at and how everything feels so fragile. Really feel for her!

Good luck for tmrw Cha cha.

ChaCha · 03/04/2005 13:07

Thank you so much Enthusia, yes my thoughts also with Diddle, I am a bunch of nerves at the moment. As i've been TTC for a few years and gone through a couple of laps my ob/gyn has scheduled my scan as early as tomorrow (I've worked out that today is actually 6 weeks - but we shall have to wait and see). I am so glad that i have some time off work, i really need it. Keep posting, need all ur support.
p.s. the great weather this weekend is certainly making me feel a little better, i didn't cut the grass though just sat and watched, tee hee!

LexyB · 03/04/2005 14:10

Diddle - first off want to say how sorry I am to you and your DH for the loss of your little one.

ChaCha - hope it all goes well tomorrow.

Has anyone else told friends and family yet ? Even though I am 6 weeks tomorrow my DH and I told the children and our parents yesterday as usually I get very bad sickness plus the usual tiredness so want support/help from the children. My oldest son ( nearly 16 ) was pretty upset at first and stormed off to his room, slamming doors followed by loud teenage music but has calmed down now. Not unexpected as last year he had to be placacted by KFC when told I was pregnant but he loves his baby brother now, although not if any of his friends are watching!
The general reaction from parents has been " Another one - Already ? " They think we are mad ( probably right.
I am beginning to panic about the age gap as Stanley will be just 15 months when the baby is born.

ChaCha · 03/04/2005 15:08

Hi LexyB. I am 6 weeks today if calculations are right and have told my parents and DH's. Have told my colleagues (2 of them that I work very closely with) and a close friend. As you mentioned, my reason for telling them was due to my awful sickness and tiredness, esp at work. I think you were right to tell your 16 year old as he will probably work it out for himself and although being a typical teenager now may be a support to you in the early stages. Good Luck x

dangirl · 03/04/2005 17:17

I am so so sorry for you and your DH Diddle. All the best!

JenJam · 03/04/2005 19:58

diddle, i'm sorry to hear your bad news. take good care of yourself, jen

Xena · 03/04/2005 20:04

Diddle my thoughts are with you and your familyxxx

ChaCha we must be due the same day as I am 6wks today.

P.S I was happysecret2 but I thought I should change to my normal name as happysecret (the original) hasn't concieved (see the due in Dec thread)
We haven't told anyone except my sister yet we have 3 other children DS 7 DD 3 and DD 9mths and I don't want them to know for a while and definalty not until 12wks.
Hope everything goes well for everyone xxx

yingers74 · 03/04/2005 22:04

Hello all, just got back from a break in the new forest, it was not as relaxing as i hope but i guess no where with a 2 year old is!

Diddle - am really sorry to hear about your loss. I have been there and hope you can take heart from the fact I conceived again shortly afterwards. Get some rest, love to you and your dh.

alfiesmum · 03/04/2005 22:14

Diddle, just read your news and i'm so sorry. take care x

Laylasmum · 03/04/2005 22:19

Diddle i am really sorry about your loss.please take care Laylasmum xxxx xxx

cp3 · 04/04/2005 09:11

LexyB. Dont worry too much about the age gap. There is 15 months between my two youngest and it was actually easier as they were younger so the first few months were a doddle. We put the baby in a travel cot downstairs so the toddler wouldnt get him if i was out of sight for a moment. Now Ds is now walking talking and wrecking everything its actaully alot tougher. They are always getting into mischief. On the wwhole yes it is bloody hard work but it is definatley worth it now. My partner is very supportive soi am very lucky. We have no close family to help either so if i can do it you can. My eldest is 17 and also a great help.

I wont lie though im gald there is a 2 year age gap this time.

Diddle are you lurking at all. How are you? Have you been back to Docs or hospital yet? Thnking of you. Take care xxxx

ChaCha · 04/04/2005 11:13

Just back from hospital. Am only actually 5 weeks and 4 days (not the 6 weeks that i had wrongly calculated). Heartbeat detected and baby growing in right place...what a relief. He told us that the next hurdle is in the next 6 weeks..more anxiety.
Am I still a Novemberer then??

LilJ · 04/04/2005 14:18

I seem to be very late, but would love to join the Nov 05 group. I'm due 26th November, it's my first and absolutely delighted but bit overwhelmed so far. I'm 36, been married for almost 8 years and was trying for about 5 months until jackpot! I've had a bit of nausea (can't even think of fish), my boobs are blowing up rapidly (Mothercare here I come) and I'm exhausted (but that could be due to jetlag as we went on a trip to Japan four days after I found out).

Have seen GP (fairly useless) and waiting for first proper appt in about 4 weeks time, which seems a lifetime away!

koalabear · 04/04/2005 14:20

welcome LilJ - we're due two days apart!

Enthusia · 04/04/2005 16:07

Jenjam

How are the emotions today? Feeling quite low here. Doctor said to take brisk walks, see how I am once I return to work after Easter and go back and see him next week. So I am just about to try another walk. Mind you all it seems to make me feel is tired!

Also started puking again today, at least I had a weeks break. Funny now though as I didn't feel particularly sick, I just was - hope that doesn't happen on my walk.

koalabear · 04/04/2005 16:12

Hi Enthusia - just read about your morning sickness - hope you are feeling better. Are you taking anything for the sickness? When I was pregnant with my first, I drank loads of Appletiser - was the only thing that made the sickness go away! I haven't had any sickness yet (don't actually feel pregnant in any way, which is a bit worrying)!
