Hi all, lovely to hear fireflies good news :)

i'm more of a lurker on here but wanted to update stats. Managed to get pregnant again recently after my MMC and erpc back at the start of Feb, relieved as i had started to think it was never going to happen again. Sadly the BFP turned into a BFP a few days later and i started bleeding so i had a very early mc. Glad it was early on and am going to try again but obviously don't feel great about thing. Not easy is it TTC at this age? well TTC and ending up with a baby to take home isn't.

i meant my BFP turned into a BFN but i expect you all worked that out!

blackcats oh, so sorry to hear of your disappointment. It's so hard. X

fireflies yay, yay, yay!!! So happy to hear of the safe arrival of baby boy firefly!! Does that make him Spark then?!? Can't wait to hear more when you are ready... But enjoy those magical snuggles!!

Fireflies - it really is so fantastic to hear your news. I haven't been on here much lately, but I came straight on again this morning knowing that it would be full of loveliness after reading your post last night. Hope you're having such a wonderful time with your precious baby xx

Fireflies

Blackcatdancing so sorry .

Yay FF!!! Well done!!! Am now about 3 cms at the mo and the tens machine is doing its thing. Will keep you posted. Lxx

Congratulations fireflies on the safe arrival of your little boy!

Blackcat,so sorry to hear of your loss .
I know how you feel. I had a MC in March, got pregnant again after my first AF and miscarried at 6 weeks recently. Even though an early MC is easier physically it's still a great loss and it is difficult when you're still grieving for the last one.
TTC isn't easy at all, esp in your 40s, for me there's more of a sense of urgency as I feel time may be running out.
Hopefully the next few months will bring us both a BFP and successful outcome!

Congrats FF xxxx

Oh my goodness Lol are you in hospital??

Blackcats - you deserve a happy ending for being so dedicated. So so sorry to hear you have had to bear another loss.

Fireflies - you're a mummy YAY. Sorry it was a bit of a traumatic experience but glad he is safe and snuggled.

Love the image of LOL self examining her cervix! Go LOL, go LOL. XXXXXXX

Just dashing in to say very many congratulations to fireflies on the birth of your lovely son.xxx

Huge congratulations fireflies,such good news that your little one is here safe and sound. I hope all is going well.

irishmammy, I understand that feeling of urgency. I can't help feling that I should have started TTC sooner- like in my thirties, but I didn't realize that I wanted more at that stage.

blackcats, I'm so sorry you've had another loss. It really sucks. I'm sad that getting a bfp no longer feels exciting and full of promise, but more a step towards getting a baby.

I didn't end up with the flu, but have spent the weekend nursing my boy who has had gastro bug. Poor little thing has been so unhappy and poorly. We have had very disturbed nights,so I am feeling a bit worse for wear. Of course I then wonder why the heck I want another baby, worrying how I would cope with sleep deprivation. The hard work is worth it though.

Ooh can't wait to hear lol's news.

Teddy (aka lolbean) born this morning after eventful but safe 16 hour labour. So pleased I opted for the epidural at 5 cms as he got stuck for 6 hours at 7 cms! He's only 8lb5oz but is 'like Charlie Gum. So relieved he is out and gorgeous. You guys helped me every step of the way. I raved about your knowledge, support and kindness to the midwives. Thank you for helping me achieve this dream!

wow just logged in during my lunch hour and saw your great news! Congratulations lolfactor enjoy your lovely new son! 2 born in almost as many days!

Excellant news Lol well done xxxx welcome Teddy glad all's well xxxxe

How lovely lol - what a gorgeous name!

Babies everywhere! This thread is so supportive and warm, and when the babies start coming, it feels as if it's happening to friends. The two new little ones here put so much into perspective - again, from a personal point of view only, I'm not trying to speak on behalf of anyone else. I'm just always so relieved when mums and babies are all safe and well at the other end, so to speak, and love to hear of the special new lives that are being created.

Well done to both of you, have a wonderful time with your new people, and be very, very proud of yourselves ! xx

Oh lovely news lol, I'm so pleased for you . And what a lovely name too

Glad to hear your great news fireflies and lolfactor!

Blackcatsdancing - sorry to hear you have had another loss, sending hugs. Hopefully all the good news on this thread will be catching!

Maybe we should refresh the list so that there are gorgeous new babies at the top to give everyone a boost?

congratulates fireflies this is brilliant xxxx

blackcats so sorry - and now all the hormones. You are so brave and it is good that you got a bfp - as others say it's a step towards having a baby. Hope you feel better soon - it's such a rollercoaster
