Oh ducky that's really harsh that you go back to more responsibility! I'm so cross for you
why do some people have no compassion?! I guess it's good that they've not sidelined you & means they think you're good at what you do. We always have to look for the positives don't we?! If it helps, I was worried about my brainnotworking when I went back (& it was a very technical job with the potential forseriousconsequences if things were done incorrectly), but I found I just slotted back into it (one of the reasons I wanted to leave as it was as tho nothing had changed even tho everything had for me iyswim). And, having gone back to using my brain again (even more so in my new role) I have found that it has helped to have chunks of time with something else to think about that I find interesting. Do you normally like what you do & are the people you work with day to day nice to be around?
About not having symptoms - I didn't have any at all til 7wks this time & was v worried having been so sick previously, and it definitely had started earlier. I made up for it later tho, once it started it really took off! It might be that you're getting much more rest this time as you're not at work?
missalex glad you feel a bit calmer after your most recent scan. I had wondered if it might actually make the odds better for you in a way. Not much of a consolation is it, but I guess as ever we have to grasp whatever we can. It does sound positive for bean 2 from what you said tho :).
ruby I'm sorry your scan sort of gave you new things to worry about, but am glad everything is looking ok for now. I guess it sounds like a section might possibly be on the cards - but let's face it anyone may end up with one in any case. And a planned one is definitely better than an emcs after however many hrs of labour. From what you've said tho, it's v much a question of the method of delivery rather than anything extra to let yourself worry about for during the pg iyswim? ((Hugs))
atm hope you're feeling ok after the pm results. I know I felt v deflated at that point x
Afm, there was a hb :) :) so I stopped being worried for about 5 minutes, which was nice! The mw & cons (not my usual one) were both nice, although from what the cons said they really can't predict placental abruption at all so I think, despite the extra scans its going to be quite nerve wracking as time goes on. Still, today I am pg.
Starting to wonder when I'll have to tell people. Still want to put it off for as long as poss - wondering if my abs are up to concealing it for another month! But I feel bad in some ways, dd is has been sad recently as lots of her friends are having baby siblings & they're excited. I think it would half help her to know I'm pg, but on the other hand she'll then start worrying too...
Waves to all - how are you tulip?
