Apologies for those I have forgot to tag - please add yourself :)

@Angelmama1121 congratulations!
Must have been a whirlwind of a time, glad you're all home and well now xx

I've had a growth scan today and he's measuring between 3rd and 10th centile it would seem. So another scan in 2 weeks... There's talk of induction at 37 weeks which although seems ages away I'm sure will fly. Currently 28 weeks.

@Angelmama1121 congratulations! Not so big in the end then. Glad everything is okay!

I'm 16 weeks today and getting my gender scan tomorrow. Nervous and excited x

@MrsF111
So sorry to hear this, I got referred to the rmc, had all bloods scans and an mri, only thing that showed was low vitamin d, so got progesterone from a bfp until 16 weeks x

@Angelmama1121
Congratulations on your rainbow, I'm now 30 weeks so getting there lol x

@Annny27
Omg how has 38+4 happened lol wish it was me, but 30 today in to my 8th month so getting there x

Been busy busy, have ended up taking my cousins wee girl on for a while who is 9, she was taking off her mum for now so been none stop crazy lol but she my niece and would not have her going to anybody so my duty as an aunt and godmother xx

I have a grump on board lol x

@Babyghirl look at that face! 😍🥹

@Bubbles1995
Going to be a grumpy baby by the looks of it lol x

@Annny27 I still check back every few weeks to see how you’re doing, amazing that you might have had baby by now! I hope all is well either way 🥰
@SunnySideUp2020 congratulations on your second! Did you have a boy or a girl?

Hello :) our little boy was born by csection after a long induction on saturday.
He was very poorly immediatley after birth and was immediately transfered to a specialist hospital 1.5 hours away - he is in the NICU and is intubated with machines breathing for him but he is stable at the moment and making small progresses 💙💙

We are so in love with him he is just adorable 💙💙💙

Oh congratulations @Annny27 !! That must have been very tiring and scary for you- I hope he continues to progress well :)

@Annny27
Congratulations girl, so happy for you, he will be a wee fighter and will get strong and be home with yous soon xx

Congratulations @Annny27 on the birth of your lovely boy. Sending lots of love and good thoughts to you, he sounds like he is a fighter xx

Ohmygod @Annny27 huge congratulations!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳

a terrifying moment no doubt, I hope you’re ok after it all?? I had no doubt over your little man’s strength and resilience though - he’s got you as a mum!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Sending you all so much love!!!

my world has fallen apart. None of our embryos are genetically viable. It’s all been for nothing. We’re devastated. Not sure what to do next, can’t even process it right now 😞

Congratulations @Annny27! Hope you are doing ok and your little one keeps making lots of progress. You sound smitten 🥰. Sending you lots of positive thoughts and hopefully you are all home soon x

Thinking of you @Kelb79 💛

@Kelb79
Sorry to hear this, have they set out a plan for another go xx

@Annny27 congratulations lovely. Hope the little man is out of the NICU soon.
Do you have a name for him?

@Kelb79 I'm really really sorry this has happened. Unfortunately I don't know much about the embryo testing side of things. Do you have a plan going forward? Xx

So my doctor called and chatted through it all. She said she’d do another round if we want but that it’s about a 7% chance of success 😵‍💫 she’d want to get 10 embryos to send for testing and considering our best round got 2 that’s just completely out of reach. A donor egg cycle has a 75-80% chance of success so she’s put that forward as our best option.
its a lot to process. Being told, for sure, that I’m infertile and unlikely to ever have my own biological child….. it’s a choice if not having children or donor egg 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️
total head f@ck!!! Just trying to navigate it all 😵‍💫🫣

Congratulations @Annny27 - take time to process everything you have been through. I'm sure your little boy is the light if your life, just don't forget that you have been through something traumatic and should look out for number one. Huge congratulations - I'm so so pleased for you. 🥰💖

@Kelb79 I'm really sorry to hear your update 💖

@scrumdiddly123 i had another girl!
How are you doing? How is your little girl?

@Doesiteverhelp lovely! How are you getting on with 2? She’s really good thank you, so cheeky and chatting non stop!
@Annny27 huge congratulations! Sounds like an ordeal so I hope you’re doing ok and your little one is soon on the mend xx

@scrumdiddly123

Awww so cute. They are proper little people now arent they ?!
I am ok tbh. Well have 0 time for myself and the weeks are flying by but it is an organised chaos. My husband and I have split the kids basically. He has Amelia and I have Margot (the newborn)... and it works for now.

How are you and little one getting on @Annny27 ? Sending you lots of positivity.

@Annny27 So so pleased to see your rainbow arrived lovely ❤️🌈 I’m so sorry it’s been a rough start! How are you all doing? Thinking of you and sending loads of love xx

@Kelb79 I'm so sorry to hear your devastating news! Is there any advice in the book It starts with the egg that might be helpful? I really hope that you and your partner can find your best next step together. Sending loads of love xxxx

@Annny27 Congratulations Annie! It seems like a traumatic birth but I'm so happy for you that your Rainbow baby is finally here!!! Loads of love xx

@PeanuttyButter Sometimes they get the estimate for the size wrong on scans, as with my younger sister who kept showing up small on scans but was over 9 pounds when she was born! On the other hand, one of my friends was recently induced at 37 weeks because her baby kept measuring as quite small and she now has her beautiful, healthy baby who spent a small amount of time in NICU but is now at home and thriving. Not long now. Yes, I think the next few weeks will fly by and then you'll be sharing cuddles with your lovely, healthy Rainbow baby. Much love xxx
