All done So that is 5 of you on the road now, I wonder who will fall off the waiting game and become our 6th TTC'er? Diege? BB? GJ? All likely candidates I reckon

I think it'll be GJ, don't know why but I think she'll be first.

Oh and its a bug, my mum just texted me to say she felt ill and wanted chocolate. Why she wants chocolate if she feels sick I dont know.

I might have to go get a book of names...

A shocking news: my friend at work, gave birth last week to a stillborn baby...she was so excited about her baby - her first.

I guess these things happen

Oh thats horrible, I'm so sorry.

I have a book of 40,001 baby names, its great.

OMG.

Unimaginable.

Thanks Kay, i will look for that book...off to lunch now.

missing my DS so much right now, i want to give him a big hug and make sure he is alright, after hearing of my friend's tragic news...

Heron, are you close friends with her? Or more collegues?

Natalie, we are not super close but i always chat with her throughout her pregnancy. and her pregnancy was ideal, textbox stuff...first baby for her.

Natalie, i am justnot sure what to say to her, i want to make contact, but it might be too soon?

Do they know why it happened?

How people come back from things like this is beyond me.

I'm thinking of your friend. I cant even begin to imagine what she is going through.

I was really hoping I had morning sickness(Yes I'm crazy), having morning sickness would be like doing a test 2 weeks early.

If you're not really close, I'd leave it for now. I'd send a card, maybe some flowers or something, but I wouldn't make direct contact.

I think I'd also put a note in the card to say that obviously you are thinking of them, and that you phone number/email is xxxxxxx if she ever want's an outsiders ear.

My mum had a stillborn, she would have been my little sister, she had Spina Bifida and she died a couple of day before my mum went into labour and they didnt know. She went on to have my little brother and then lost another little boy after him too.

I dont remember mum going through it.

That is dredful your poor friend. I have no idea how people cope with things like that.

I cannot imagine how awful it will be for her, seeing people in work etc.. horrific.

I think but am not sure but I think you can keep your mat leave. But I dont think I'd want to, but then again I dont think I'd want to go to work.

Put's all of my moaning into perspective.

Sorry for your parents as well Kay, it all seems so easy this having kids malarky, I think it just shows how brutal it can be.

Yeah it does,
Sometimes I feel so guilty that I got pg straight away when you read the stories of some women on here.

My mum now thinks she has food poisoning as she drove past the restaurant they went to Saturday evening and Environmental health were there.

My mum is wierd sometimes.

Back from hairdressers [diege swishes hair over the laptop]. This is the NEW thread then?? Won't be long before we're needing another!
HERON, that's awful news about your poor work colleague. It happened to a colleague of mine a few years ago - second baby. Day before due date movements stopped, and baby had died . Their third baby was born at 28 weeks, and has severe disabilities too. They eventually split up which was sooo sad to see. You're right, these things really do put day to day stuff into perspective .
On a brighter note, one thread nearer for everyone to getting pregnant! After feeling a bit about no.4 last week (that 'what am I doing' thing) fully back on board this week. Moving up from regular folic acid to pregnancare with the Tesco shop, and have bought dh his zinc . Had our GOF last night, and can't believe this is the last cycle using the old dipping it in method of protection (on 'unsafe days')

Hi, just got back from lunch and read all your comments. I am not sure how she is going to get over this. I think i will send her a card. it wont be too intrusive.
she will have to get back to work sometime.

Awww thats so sad Diege.

But on a good note its nearly time for you to symptom spot too.

Hi all, lovely new sparkly thread! So sorry for your colleague Oh joy. Can't be much worse than giving birth to a stillborn .

Deige, I was thinking that myself this morning. The year is racing by, its nearly march, so soon there will be more ttcers in this thread!! Actually when I think of the speed this year seems to be going at I think it might be easy to wait till September!!

Its beginning to get serious then Deige if your stepping up on the vits. At the moment I am just taking a normal multi vit and extra folic acid. After this pack has gone (about 2 months) I will "graduate" to pregnacare (or something similar) for the corrects qty of vits and no vit A. Should have 4 months then on the proper stuff before ttc, which is enough I should think.

Heron, you might want to post in the Bereavement threads as there are lots of people who have experienceing this personally and can tell you about what they felt helped etc. In general, I think cards etc are always appreciated, and sometimes just 'keeping away' can make the parents feel really isolated etc.
Kay, I will be terrible with my symptoms - they are pretty much pre-af, even down to the sense of smell. Trying to work out now if my fertile time in April will actually BE April, or end of March. Want to avoid end of December due date like the plague, esp as all 3 dds have been 5 days early!!

I'm already getting bad, I feel really sick today and I thought it was morning sickness(but its much to early), then I thought it was a bug as my mum feels sick and now I think it might of been morning sickness as my mum now thinks it food poisoning she has as everyone they went for a meal with are sick.

ARGHHHH!! Hurry up 7th March. I cant cope with this.
