An angel in the book of life wrote down our babies births. And whispered as she closed the book...too beautiful for this earth.

Fingers crossed for rainbows and BFPs for everyone!

Whatever: Your friend from Sands has been on my mind. How is she doing? Hope your ok too xxxxx

Rainbox: Almost 25 weeks for you! Hope your feeling a bit better. Thinking of you as Dexters 1st birthday approaches. Sorry to hear you don't get much out of the counselling. I found its taught me how to handle people in RL and to stop me building a resentment towards people who've all but forgotten about my gorgeous boy :( Is there any other therapy available you might find helpful? xxxxxx

Kliene: Just to say I'm thinking of you and hope your ok.......lots of love xxx

Green: I havent reached the first anniversary of 'A's death yet it must have been an incredibly tough few weeks for you. Hopefully spring is finally in the air and your bump is growing well xxxxxxxx

Apologies if ive missed anyone.

My little girl was up all night with an ear infection and my DH on nights. I finally went back to work yesterday I have been on Mat Leave, then sick leave and then holidays. Im only doing 2 days this week but I couldnt go in today because 'J' unwell.

I met my sils baby at the wkend thought I was ok but came home and had a good old cry once my DH went to work. I'm really pleased for them but it reminded me what Ive
lost.....'Why my baby' ? Sometimes I feel so sorry for myself and I know how lucky am at the same time........ Maybe its the build up to the scan on Monday I'm 11+2 and waiting for it all 2 go wrong. Im convinced they're gonna give me that look again and I don't know how I'm gonna cope if they do.

Hope everyone else is doing ok

Thinking of us all xxxxxxx

The scan went ok even though she didn't show me the screen enough. I'm 12 weeks 3 days so 13 weeks on sunday. That gives me the EDD of 1st Nov.

blizy I'm so sorry AF has arrived the f-ing bitch! I hope your ok?

greengoose · 24/04/2013 16:46

Just popping on to check on FAN, relieved all is well, but a bit crap the sonographer didn't give you a good look! Is it 20wks for your next one now?

Whatevertheweather · 24/04/2013 20:28

Wonderful news fan Grin Sorry the sonographer wasn't great - were you at QA? I found them a bit rubbish - I had scans every 2 weeks towards the end with H and even though I saw the same person 3 times in a row she still asked why I was having extra scans! Could they find a reason for the spotting? Could it be the fibroids? How is dh now? Lots of love xx

Blizy Angry to AF pitching up. I'm sorry lovely xx

Totally understandable scan fears babyh xxx Well done you for seeing your sil baby - it's so hard isn't it. Did you manage to enjoy US at all? My sands friend baby is doing well still in scbu but managing small periods of breathing on his own. Must be so scary for her though.

Rainbox sorry you're having a tough time lovely. Small steps you'll get there my friend xx

Got to go - H is crying and so unsettled with an ear infection. One thing after another! Cant believe my middle baby should have been 20 months old tomorrow - she would have been so gorgeous and toddler-y Sad

Sorry not to name check all xxxx

lemonsherbet · 25/04/2013 08:02

Fan glad the scan went well was looking out for your news. Are they going to give you anymore scans between now and the 20 week one?

whatever glad your SANDS friends baby is holding their own. Been thinking about them.

babyh well done for seeing your SIL baby. I always found family members having babies more difficult than friends if that means anything.

I am a bit upset my cat died yesterday was 8 years old. Think it was because he was such a source of comfort for me when our son died. He would let me cuddle and cry into him. Am so upset, you would think it was a relative.

Sorry not to name check more. Hope everyone is doing OK.

Star0909 · 25/04/2013 10:35

Hi Lemon I'm so sorry to hear about your cat, I too am an animal lover and they really are part of the family and it is so hard to say goodbye.

Fan good news about the scan.

Sorry not to name check all xx

Star0909 · 25/04/2013 11:30

Ps-I have name changed from "LittleStar" so as not to get confused with Little

blizy · 25/04/2013 11:33

Fan, I'm so glad all was well with the scan.

Lemon, so sorry about your cat, I would be devestated if my Alfie cat died. Hope you are ok. X

Rainbox, how are you holding up, my lovely?

Wtw, poor Holly hope she is better soon. X

mumalah · 25/04/2013 23:07

HI everyone , sorry i haven't posted for a while, but i have been reading ! I had a call from the correners saying he is adamant my sons death was natural causes. They are going to proceed tomorrow, so i have a final death certificate. I am not attending this, i was in tears on phone. But i am still going to put in a complaint to my local surgery and hospital, i owe that to my son. I'm convinced ,I haven't conceived through all this stress, and may well of developed baby block ! Life is so unfair> I went to a dear friends funeral yesterday, it was sad but beautiful, but just bought back emotions. She was only 45 xxx

mumalah · 25/04/2013 23:18

Fan So pleased to hear good news of your scanxxx
lemon sorry to hear about your loss xxx

fanjodisfunction · 26/04/2013 11:54

mumulah so sorry about your friend, 45 is really no age is it.

wtw yeah it was at QA, she was a bit ditsy, didn't really take much notice of my fibroids, she was nice and sympathic but what I really wanted her to say straight away was there's a nice strong heartbeat. Hopefully won't have her again.

Next scan is at 20 weeks, might have one before if the consultant isn't happy that my fibroids were not mapped properly.

Had a right panic this morning, I have a pain on the right side of my womb, I rung my midwife and she was so lovely told me its ligament pain and to take it easy. Also if I start to bleed or the pain gets worse I'm to ring back straight away and she will get me in for a scan. Also she says if I feel too anxious this afternoon to ring her and she'll come by with the doppler and check the heartbeat for me.

lemon so sorry to hear about your cat, they are so precious.

fanjodisfunction · 26/04/2013 19:12

On this night two years ago I gave birth to my PFB, she was golden, beautiful, looked just like her Daddy. I miss her every minute of the day and night. Tonight at 2.58am is her time, when she entered this world, never to experience anything. I love you baby girl, my darling Fi.

blizy · 26/04/2013 19:23

Fan, huge hugs to you and your perfect little Fi. X I,will be thinking of you tomorrow and light a candle for Ophelia. X. I,hope the day passes gently for you. Do you have anything planned?

Razzdazz · 26/04/2013 21:16

Sending love to you and your husband fan, god bless your sleeping angel xx

Star0909 · 26/04/2013 23:01

Thinking of you Fan and of Fi xxx

MiaAlexandrasmummy · 26/04/2013 23:16

fan thinking of Fi tonight, and her little sibling - grown with such love. xx

mumalah so sorry to hear that news from the coroner. I would also be devastated. Do PM me if you would like a sounding board on making your complaint. There are various ways of doing this to make a difference.

All - whether waiting for your rainbows to arrive or not, please never doubt that you are all wonderful mothers. You would not be here, living out your love for your children, if you were not fantastic mothers. And yes, there is fear, but there will always be that, but love will always transcend fear. xx

Whatevertheweather · 27/04/2013 02:43

Thinking of you, dh and of course darling Fi, your golden haired girl, on her 2nd birthday fan I hope the day is a gentle as it can be xxx

fanjodisfunction · 28/04/2013 07:44

Thank you ladies.

We just relaxed all day watching tv, and talking. We didn't go to cornwall in the end due to the ligament pain, because I'm the only driver it seamed a bit silly. We tried to release the lanterns last night but the wind was a bit strong. Try again tonight.
