TyphoonsMum - {{{BIG HUGS}}} It is so hard - even now, I can get quite upset when I see pregnant women or new born babies. I try so hard not to, but it is a really tough emotional rollercoster we've gone through. So don't feel bad about it -just be glad you've got us to unload to. I'm not sure how I would have coped over this year if it hadn't been for MN.
D2M - I feel like one of the "old" girls on here, I had my mc on 13th Feb, well at least that was the day I had very light brown spotting. I found out no heart beat at a scan at the EPU 4 days later (the earliest they could see me! - still furious at having to wait unknowing for so long). I was 9.5 weeks.
I'm sure it won't reassure you much, but I was really scared about how I would feel about my edd, which was in early sept, but TBH the weeks/days beforehand thinking about it were the worst and then when the day had past, I felt a huge sense of relief and like a weight lifted from me. Not that I'll ever forget my little one, but I could just cope better and not think about it all the time every day. Tough date for you though - hard to forget.
Anyway, too much about me - my TTC has fallen by the wayside for the last 4.5 months as DH has been away in hot, sandy places, but he's back in 1 week and 4 days (I'm not counting the minutes yet though!), so I'm determined to give it my best shot this month, hence the grapefruit questions!
Edie, not trying to confuse you more, but I put on 7lbs when I was very first pg, but then it was also over Christmas/New Year! I was shocked at how much I'd put on, then found out I was pg! Still haven't lost it though, but that's through comfort eating and laziness over this year.
Take care all,
