Oh rain box, my hand us here for you. I have everything crossed that all is well with you and the bean. Xxx

RainboxFX · 08/01/2013 11:35

Thank you. Really swinging between feeling everything will be fine, it's not uncommon, and utterly certain it's going wrong.

DH is being amazing. He was on a half day to go for the scan anyway so has taken the morning off to stay home with me.

Trying to stay away from google.

Really glad your DH is there. I've always thought he sounded lovely - now I know for sure...
And yes, stay away from Google. It doesn't have the answer to this.
I'll be back in a bit so do keep posting if it helps xxx

Rainbox: praying everything is ok. Did you have any bleeding prior to today. Eg Bleeding early on in this pregnancy? Some people bleed all the way through that's all. Your in my heart chick. Get your feet up on the sofa straight away its an order!

Massive virtual hugs are coming your way.

Please please be ok xxxxxx

Whatevertheweather · 08/01/2013 12:29

Oh Rainbox also here for virtual hand holding. How bloody scary but as you say not uncommon and not always sinister. Praying for good news at 4pm. Will be checking in on you xxx

fanjodisfunction · 08/01/2013 12:53

RAINBOX... God, I'm so sorry you're having this happen. I'm here too love. I hope with everything that it's all ok and just a horrible scare.

Sorry I've not been on much ladies, Ive got my head in the sand as best I can, and trying to stay away from google too. Thinking about us all though....

RainboxFX · 08/01/2013 14:15

You are all so caring and wonderful, I can't tell you how much it means and how much it is helping.

Really hoping that I am just making a massive fuss over nothing. Just under two hours to go.

Let's hope so rainbox, I had a bleed with Fi at 6 weeks and at 14 weeks, with pains both times and she was fine. (Had nothing to do with her not being here.) I posted a little something for you in the FB group, sorry I can't do more.

KleinePoppet · 08/01/2013 14:33

rainbox xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ellypoo · 08/01/2013 15:27

Still thinking of you kleine xxx

I had bleeds at around 6 & 8 & 12 weeks this time, really scary, but reassurance from scans each time. Fx same for you my lovely xxx

Ellypoo · 08/01/2013 15:28

Oh god - thinking of you rainbox - that serves me right for reading Kleine's post as I was typing xxx

Bluetinkerbell · 08/01/2013 16:07

Thinking of you, Rainbox x

RainboxFX · 08/01/2013 17:02

Back from the scan, have been redated as 9+2, heartbeat and very wriggily baby. So, so relieved.

My local GP scans every Tuesday, so I will be back in next week for another scan and have been signed off work until 12 weeks.

Feeling slightly embarrassed at making a massive fuss, but DH has pointed out I would have felt worse if I did nothing and it turned out I had missed something. I was really wibbily about taking the time off work too because the office need me, and he had a stern chat about what's important! I knew I loved and married him for a reason.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Wine Brew Biscuit Thanks

Great news. I am sure they were very happy to scan you at the hospital and were very glad with the outcome!

MiaAlexandrasmummy · 08/01/2013 18:26

Hello all, just caught up. Rainbox, do glad to hear about your wriggly bean scan today.Smile here, still have the whole family with us, but now off having an amazing ski holiday. Finn and I went up the mountain today to watch his cousins' lessons, and he happily breastfed outdoors and slept the rest of the time. But came home and pooped all over me at the next feed!! Love having the cousins around, they are so sweet and funny, and make me smile, while wondering how Mia would be interacting with them all...

Whatevertheweather · 08/01/2013 18:41

Oh thank goodness. I haven't been able to get online and have been panicking about you and mini-box Rainbox so relieved for you and MrR and please do listen to him and rest my lovely Smile

Mias sounds idyllic! Have a wonderful time xx

Ellypoo · 08/01/2013 19:33

Oh Rainbox, that is such fantastic news - so relieved for you and MrR xxx Great that you will get another scan next week, try not to think about work, and just keep your feet up and rest xxx
