SkaterGrrrrl I'm so very sorry. Poor love. Sending you a big virtual hug. Take care of yourself. xxx

Oh Skatergrrrl, I'm so sorry to hear that. Thinking of you.

So sorry SkaterGrrrl xx

So sorry SkaterGrrrl! It's a horrible horrible thing to go through, you are in my thoughts xxx

I'm so very sorry skatergrrrl. Take very good care of yourself. Will be thinking of you. Xxx

I echo what the others have said skatergrrrl. Be kind to yourself. You will get through this. So sorry.

Skatergrrrrl ... you are in my thoughts. So sorry.

Another very sorry to Skatergrrrl and those others in this situation... good luck in the future...

tired tired tired, sick sick sick.... this is my worst pregnancy to date....

so glad for all of you whose scans have gone well, three weeks tomorrow till mine, its dragging by so slowly

Is anyone having a 4D scan? We have had one with other three, and now i feel 'obliged' to have one with number 4, he/she would feel left out surely!?

Morning all! 12 weeks today! yey!!! Taking that tentative step into the 2nd trimester! having a good day so far, just finished making a tractor cake for my Dad! And its excellent, even if i do say so myself.

Just having a slight freak out tho. The realisation is hitting that I'm having another baby! How will I cope? I enjoyed labour & birth last time, even though on paper it was a difficult one. I can't wait to do it again but at the same time ouch!!! I was unable to bf & ds was a difficult feeder, can i cope with the stress of that again? will I be able to bf? How will ds react? will it change him, will he resent me?? How will it affect my marriage? can we afford it?? I know these are all things we should've considered before but now its real. Its really happening!! AAAAARRRRGGGGHH!!

Think we need to see a picture of that tractor cake, bananastew .

My midwife phoned last night - one of my blood tests has come back showing that I am a bit anaemic. Am really puzzled because we definitely eat loads of iron - lots of beef, eggs, dark green veg etc - and in any case I am taking an ante-natal multi-vitamin pill that claims to be providing 200% of the recommended daily allowance of iron! Anyway, not a big deal i don't think but mw is going to prescribe iron tablets - side effects, nausea and constipation, FAB!

How's everyone else today?

So sorry to hear Skatergrrrrl.

Hi all
Skater - so sorry - take care.

Awful week. Dad died on monday. Very sudden we were not expecting it - were told he had 6 months only 2 weeks ago. Have been dragging myself thru the week. So much love and support from our community it has all been a bit overwhelming but feel like I am in absolute shock. To top it off, off to another family members funeral tomorrow.
Have early scan next tue (10weeks) and just so nervous! I have been so sick all thru jan and so stressed and tired over past 2 weeks just have this awful foreboding feeling. Feel like I am teetering near the edge. not sure how much more I can cope with. Really need this baby to be ok. Heart broken enough for now. Trying to answer my DS questions about why he wont see his grandad anymore and help him to understand - hes nearly 4. would appreciate any advice. He is a deep one - overthinks everything, amazing little brain. DS2 is too young. Will not realise until he is visiting that dad is not there.

MammyG you poor poor thing. I am so sorry for your sad sad loss and it's totally understandable for you to be feeling the way you are right now. I will write more tmorrow when at pc ( am on phone) just wanted to convey my deepest sympathies to you and hope you are getting lots of physical and emotional support x x x

I'm so sorry MammyG . sending you lots of hugs. What an awful time you are having and I really wish you well over the coming months as you really deserve a break.

I'm afraid I don't really know what to suggest for DS1. I'm sure I've seen threads about explaining bereavement before and there were several good book recommendation for toddlers which might help? I suppose that they at least can provide a space for you to explain using an analogy. I'll try and find one for you.

Take care and I hope you can find lots of comfort in your baby. Best of luck for the scan next week and take lots of care of yourself. xxx

some books recommended on here which might help

and more here

So very sorry MammyG ... maybe you don't feel it but you are strong enough and you will get through this. I am sure the books will help you explain things to your wee one. x

Big hug to you MammyG. I'm so sorry about your dad.

If your little one is bright and sensitive, maybe better to be no euphemisms honest with him? I'm sure he will grieve too, but he'll know why you're upset and he will be included rather than shut out from what's going on. He may then feel he's got "permission" to talk about his feelings rather than seeing Granded as a taboo subject. When the time is right you can share happy memories. Maybe start a happy memories book with thoughts and photos that he can help with?

You will know best what to do MammyG. Please look after yourself. xx
