I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm slightly less mental than I was last night. Still very annoyed with my mother, but have decided to just steer clear for a bit until I calm down and keep my feelings well and truly bottled up whenever I see her. I know that doesn't exactly sound healthy, but it's probably my best option right now. At least she's given me something else to mull over other than constant worry.
Lunatic Aaaagh at the bleed and pain. I hope you managed to get in today, if only for your peace of mind. I couldn't help but query how flu patients were more important than you?! I know there have been many serious outbreaks lately, but there are two of you to worry about! I HATE, HATE, HATE the lack of urgency and concern.
It was horrifying to read your comment on negligence. Nobody should have to prepare themselves for such a hideous prospect and it made me howl at the thought of it. Obviously, you shouldn't have to remind them about how much of a close call it was for you last time, but subtlety clearly doesn't feature in their world and neither does the existence of communication on any level by the sound of things. I'd be tempted to put them on the spot by asking them exactly what they intend to do to reassure you of the safety of you and your lo. It's their job for God's sake and if their solution isn't to let you stay in hospital for as long as you damn well want, then I'd be tempted to chain myself to a bed until it is!
I wouldn't be remotely concerned about coming across as traumatised or a madwoman. It would seem that society and the media has already decided you are one anyway - as indeed are all women who've suffered any kind of loss, apparently. Might as well get the help we deserve off the back of it. Mind you, I wonder how many people actually read your notes and pay attention anyway, given the level of care (or lack of it) you've received recently.
Hmm, that turned into a bit of a rant. Over emotional and hormonal? Me? Anyway, I'm thinking of you and sending huge hugs and hoping you'll update us when you can. xx
Mummy You really do a job properly (and incredibly quickly) when you set your mind to it, don't you? I'm exhausted just reading the post. How are you feeling about it all? On top of the crazy hormones and manic schedule, it's a wonder you'd have any time left for worry. I hope you are okay though.
justmee At last! Excellent news! If you're anything like me, it may take some time to sink in!
digi a quiet woohoo and thumbs up at the rising temps. Fingers and toes crossed for you. I am all too familiar with the emotional rollercoaster ride of peaking and troughing temps, so let's hope it's your turn for some good luck and I hope things behave as they should this month.
coconuts Good news on the definitive diagnosis and treatment plan. I hope everyone in your house feels better soon. I'm not sure if you're able to get a flu jab right now unless you fall into one of the high risk categories, as a lot of surgeries are running low on stocks. Having said that, I haven't received anything to suggest I get a swine flu jab. I really should ring and book one. It's probably a bit futile getting a preventative jab when you're already ill tbh.
Lovely news about being the Chief Bridesmaid for your best friend next year. The first thing I thought when I read that was, I bet she has a bump by then! The Law of Sod; just like lighting a fag at a bus stop to make the bus come along! 
Claire A warm welcome back, though I obviously wish you didn't have to return.
Julez I hope you're giving birth as I write, if you haven't already done so! It would be good if bubba would hang on a little longer, but I imagine you've already had more than enough. Yes, I'm nearly 11 weeks now. Thankfully, the last couple of weeks seem to have gone by a bit quicker. I do have sore boobs, but they are not as bad as they were and the sickness is much less debilitating, but it keeps coming back with a vengeance. Scan is two weeks today. Feels like a lifetime away.
Lady I know just what you mean about shaking as a result of stressful phonecalls of this nature. Another thing that men don't have to endure. Fingers crossed that it goes well with the consultant tomorrow. Hope you aren't too anxious.
hairy You deserve a gold medal the size of a dustbin lid for having the courage to post that message on facebook. I'm glad you've got a positive response. Just another step towards making this a less taboo subject. I salute you. I'd never have the guts.
frazzled Thinking about you all the time. I hope Finn continues to get stronger every day.
Waves to LAF, lulu and anyone else I may have missed.
I realise I still have my Christmas name, but I'm reluctant to change it back to anything negative and even more reluctant to risk a positive change until my scan. So, I'm going for flippant in the meantime.
