Whoah! So much catching up to do. Had friends over this weekend and couldn't get online and now I'm so behind it's like I've been away for months.
Coconuts Denial you say? Welcome to my our obsessively crazy and mad little world! 
Congratulations!!!!! Now then, the cracking up thing. Totally normal. Perfectly acceptable and absolutely bloody awful. I have no idea how I got through each day of the last 8 weeks, but they were the longest of my life. I know it doesn't help, but moan about it here all you like. Nobody in RL got it (or gets it now) from my point of view either.
Lunatic Thank you for such a lovely message and thank you for understanding the milestone. No one in RL gets this. Why is it so hard? I'm sure I'm not as mental as they all think I am. I actually think I'd be a bit nuttier if I wasn't afraid. Nuchal results cam back with a chance of 1 in 23000 for Downs. I can live with that.
I also want to send you a massive and congratulatory hug on getting to the 33 week mark without going completely bonkers and sliding off the ledge and getting over that hideous anniversary. You've done so well and you're so near the finish line now. I can almost see it and then, as you say, you can go home forever. 5lbs is a really good weight too. Keep the faith and hang in there.
frazzled So, so pleased that you're home! Yey!!!!
lovemysleep Welcome and sorry you find yourself here. I'm sorry to say that I have no experience of this issue, but we're all here and willing to stick out a HTH to get you through the nightmarish emotional rollercoaster of the testing process. I hope someone here with a bit more knowledge on this can help you out.
Ooh I've just caught up! God this thread moves far too fast. Congratulations! FWIW I had 4 days of rather heavy spotting which turned out to be IB. Fingers crossed.
LAF If I had anything to do with it and wishing alone could make it so, you'd have that referral to St Mary's in your hands for an appointment tomorrow. I really, really hope this happens sooner rather than later for you. I totally relate to your comment about feeling trapped in a nightmare and all the uncertainty that comes with it. Having said that, I very much doubt you're going to let them send you away sans referral without a fight. Get into combat mode and make sure it happens. Big hugs in the meantime. There is nothing about any of this that doesn't suck.
Welcome lucky and I'm very sorry for your losses. I think it's awful when you aren't eligible for tests because of previous successful pregnancies. If they'd gone with that course of action for me, I'd never have got pregnant again. Oh, and if you're paranoid then so am I. I think the list of non-pregnant celebs is shorter than that of the pregnant ones.
grumpy Not sure if you're lurking but how sweet of you to gatecrash just to find out about my scan! Awwwww. Thank you. Really means a lot. xxx
Panda Know just what you mean about getting the bad news over in one hit. Isn't it awful that we all feel that way about scans now? Thank you for your lovely message.
Julez Haven't caught up to the end of the thread yet, so you might have covered this, but I hope Oliver is okay and you're home now. I love that someone like you who had such a hideously sickly and downright miserable pregnancy for the most part can be so upbeat and broody already! He must be a gorgeous little man. Hope you're all doing okay.
Oh, have just seen your other post. Right, first up, ignore your sodding MIL. We should probably all take this advice most of the time and not just in reference to babies. Secondly, you can only do what you can do and if there is another problem over which you have no control, then it isn't your fault. I desperately wanted to feed my DS, but he was starving hungry and continued to lose weight regardless, so I had to supplement him. Tbh it sounds as though that isn't the problem anyway and your lo would have just as much of an issue with breastmilk if the problem is to do with breaking down proteins. As has already been said, you're emotional, hormonal and presumably downright exhausted, which won't help to see things on any semblance of a rational plain. So, here's a well-deserved pat on the back from me. I'm really hoping you're out of hospital now but, if not, you're in the best place possible and doing the best you can as his Mummy. Give yourself some credit and ignore all negative comments.
Mummy You have been through so much in such a short space of time and I think such an experience is bound to shake even the strongest of relationships. Yet again, it sounds as though you are being as proactive as you possibly can with it all and I really hope that you and your DH can work things out. Big hugs and a cosmic order that the Karmic Gods leave you the hell alone and pick on somebody more deserving for a change!
milky I'm so sorry. I hope that the physical bit (at least) is over quickly for you. Big hugs. It's such a horrible time.
Welcome to iggi and waves to everyone else. I'm sure I've missed loads of you, but I've been typing for an hour now!!!! I should probably make my little man some tea.
I've gone a bit bonkers and, in a fit of hysteria, decided to tell just about everyone I'm pregnant. Most of the time the response has been, "I didn't think it was just cake in there" or words to that effect, so I'm obviously showing even more than I thought. I think I've decided that, since I've got over my biggest milestone so far, I need to try and enjoy at least some aspects of this. I've waited for so long and yet I hated every second of the first trimester. Part of me feels really cheated that I don't get the big announcements and the congratulatory hugs without wanting to undo the statement and defend the outburst by qualifying it with something like, "Well it might not happen, yet" or "I'm praying it will work this time, but nothing's guaranteed."
DH got really excited and told just about everyone anyway, so I've had to let it go a bit. I'm still stupidly tense and my shoulders are up to my ears. I can't go to the loo without constant knicker-checking, but I'm trying very hard to be grateful for every day that I'm pregnant. Waffle, waffle, ramble, ramble. Maybe I should write a book entitled, "Crazy musings of an insane pregnant lady in denial" or similar! I've said it before and I'll say it again. Thank God for this thread.
