Rainbow Babies - hoping and trying for rainbows, loving and remembering our Angels xxx

[Ellypoo]

Hoping this thread brings us all luck and hope xxx

Hi all just wanted to say hello. Currently trying to deal with hugely insensitive PILs but am keen to stop myself blurting it all out here (it only makes me more cross!! And I would use far too many swear words and you would all realise how unladylike I am ). Having said that, the fact that I know that so many of you also have insensitive families is somehow helpful, I know we're not alone in having crap family , but I so wish none of us had people around who made things worse...
I am currently wondering if my first AF since E is on its way. It's a long, long time since I've said anything like this - and will probably be quite a while before I say it again too - but I hope it comes soon!
Eight weeks today since she died... my beautiful girl x

twinklesunshine have we 'met'? I'm not sure that we have; I'm new on here. Or perhaps I just have my fuzzy bereaved-mummy brain in today. I'm so sorry you're having to ttc again after losing a precious child.
fan also sending you hugs. That sounds so so so hard and sad for both you and your DH. I so hope you are feeling more positive again today. I am only just starting out on this journey but I know from everyone else's posts how incredibly up-and-down it is, forever. I just hope you are having an 'up' again very soon, if not already.
Christenings - oh, my word - I can't imagine ever going to one again. DH & I are people of faith, and we do go to church, but I have no idea when we'll go again - it's baby central there. And ironically, the thing I was probably most looking forward to with E was her baptism, in front of all our friends at church who would all be so pleased for us that we had our baby at last; I couldn't believe we were finally going to get to do it, I was so happy about that. As it was, she was baptised aged 5 hours by the hospital chaplain, in the NICU
miasmummy you also had a tough time on Sat; I'm glad your friends were kind, and listened. Busy week for you! I hope you are taking good care of yourself, in every way, while you whiz around everywhere.
whatevertheweather was it today you had a consultant appt? Can't scroll back... Hope you are feeling well and coping with everything.
Hello to blue blizy elly green, and angel living it up in Paris too. Plus anyone else I've forgotten
Have a good start to the week everyone xxx

Hi Kleine- I'm sorry you are having a rough time with family. Come on here and rant away if it helps.

How are you feeling today fan?

Mias- sounds like its all go for you!

In off work for 2 weeks but I have a new baby mindee coming for a settling session this afternoon- nervous! It will be the first baby girl I have minded since Zoe.
Finally got through I the clinic today, dh's sperm analysis will be 25th sept! He is not too happy about the wait.

Hope you are all well. X

blizy really hope this afternoon goes well. You are brave...
Glad your DH's appt has come through, even if there's a bit of a wait. xxx

Hey Kleinepoppet, not been on here too much, my little 3 year old son died in March. Have only posted a few times quite a while ago. So sorry to hear about your daughter. xxxx

twinkle you live near me too then, I live in G-town near wtw. So do you live on the forest side of Soton?

Phew, settling session went well. Little baby girl is a delight although she weighs a tonne . I feel ok about it, which is a relief. I have her back on Monday before she starts all day with me on the 16th.

Hope everyone is ok.

Fan, yes just at the edge of the new forest, near Totton! xxx

Hello everyone, can't name check as phone is playing up. Hope everyone is ok.

So I had the 12 week scan today, 12+5 and everything's fine. 3 mw couldn't get even a drop of blood out of me though!

Booked in for cervical stitch next weds. They've also given me all the information to take part in a trial that looks into preterm birth and prom, as both ds2&3 were early due to pprom.

We had a chat about what happens if my waters break early and the stitch is still in and if it happens after 20 weeks and I'm not showing signs of infection it will stay in.

I was a bit worried about this due to the risk of cord prolapse if the stitch is taken out as ive had a cord prolapse before which was very scary

poppet we all know that feeling, wanting AF to come so we can get on with TTC.

blizy well done! My mum was a childminder, I grew up in a house full of children and babies. I loved it, we loved getting a new baby. Some of the kids I think of as my younger siblings. My mum over the years has looked after about 70 children.

twinkle its a small world isnt it? How strange the three of us living so close together.

moomingreat news about the scan and the stitch.

Feeling a bit better today, that christening knocked us a bit. But we have to move on and try thats all we can do.

FX for all us TTCers.

DH has just told me that Gary Barlow and his wife have just suffered a stillbirth, feel for them! So sad.

Sorry if this doesnt get on your nerves as much as it gets on mine and well its not on my fb feed, but people/friends who put that they are thinking of us after hearing the news of Gary Barlow. AIBU? It really annoys me, it happened when my nephew was born people actually put on the birth annonucment that they were thinking of me and my DH, why? Also when Lily Allen, Kelly Brook and Amanda Holden also lost their children through stillbirth, people asking me if I suddenly liked them because of what they had gone through.

Sorry just needed to rant, of course it touches us keenly as we have and are still going through the heartache but I dont think its called for to bring us into someone elses grief or joy.

oh and someone needs to start a new thread for us. Who would like to do the honours? Can I ask that Angel and Rainbow be somewhere in the title. This thread will self destruct at 1000 posts.

I will if that's ok x

Go for it Moomin link it on this thread too, so we can find it.

New thread here

I think it just reminds people of us fan and they want to let us know the remember iyswim? But I agree I'd find it very annoying if someone asked me if I liked a celebrity more because they'd lost a child.

Well done you Blizy sounds like you did beautifully well with your new mindee

Kleine do feel free to rant about IL's if it would help! We've heard some corkers on here, some people are quite literally unbelievable! Hugs to you xx

Hi Moomins glad your scan went well and you have a plan in place

I've been feeling distinctly odd this afternoon - I have an eerie feeling that my waters might break soon My fanjo feels all bruised and really sore, loads of pressure and stabby pains down there. Typically it came on after I was at the hospital this morning for a ctg (which was fine little lady is still happy ) Am sure it will be nothing but I just feel odd, i'm not too worried though as im 36 weeks so if labour did start spontaneously i guess they'd just do the c-sec as an emergency?

Hi all - im new - i posted this on the previous page (i didnt read that it was coming to an end)

I'm not the wordiest of people but it is coming up to my twin boys first remember day (they were born at 22.2 weeks 31st May 2012).

Me and their dad started trying for a rainbow in january but i am having next to no luck. I am having fairly regular periods but the odd thing about them is that they are never painful, (i know i shouldnt be complaining) its just a weird thing that has happened since the boys were born. anyone else have anything like this or is this a dr type thing x

Kate so sorry to hear of you're loss of your little angels. I lost my little girl Grace in march 2011 and an lucky to have my rainbow Rose in Feb 2012. The girls on this thread are amazing and I wouldn't have kept sane without their support. There is a newer thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/1673502-Rainbow-babies-Remembering-our-angels-riding-the-rollercoaster-and-hoping-for-little-rainbows-and-sunshine?pg=25&order= I Am sure you will find all the kindness and support you could ever ask for
