Back again...
thank you to everyone for your lovely messages. I hope you don't mind me sticking around for a bit? But to be honest, I don't really feel pg at all, just very nervous, and also I want to stay to see what you are all up to! Part of me also feels this won't work out. Silly I know, but I have brown spotting and no symptoms like sickness or sore boobs, so God only knows what is going on inside me. Did one of those tests yesterday which tells you how many weeks post-conception, and it said 2-3 weeks, which was reassuring for a bit, but as my last mc was a missed mc and I was still testing positive several weeks after little one had gone, I don't really trust my hormones. Have booked in for scan on 26 Jan which will be 7 weeks, so there should be a heart beat then if all is well. If not, well, we'll deal with it I guess. Just keep telling myself that ONE DAY we will have our baby, and to try to be patient even if it doesn't work out this time.
jools how are you doing babe? If you are lurking then I hope you are feeling ok. Its such a hard place to pull yourself out of and back to happiness. Take the time you need to grieve your lost little one, it all happened comparatively recently. But take hope from knowing that you will not always feel like this, and we will all have our darling children eventually. I hope you are getting support from your DP and others in RL too, but do come back here to our safe cave whenever you need and let us know how you are getting on.
barbie hope the house is all done now, and that you are over your flu. Soon you will be able to distract us all from the bloody freezing cold with tales of Dubai sunshine! Be careful or you might end up with a soggy collection of us on your doorstep there though. Hope the next few days aren't too stressful and that you get some time to chill out with your families before heading off. Also hope your cycle gets back to normal, but in the mean time, i really liked your advice to enjoy life for what it should be.
VM will be thinking of you on the 10th and 4ever on the 15th. vjay do you have a scan next week too? I am sending out big waves of hope for you all, and mermaid too, funnily enough hoping for you all reminds me to remain hopeful for myself too. I think its part of that thing of it being easier to say kind, sensible things to others rather than actually believing it ourselves, but we MUST try to believe it
mm happy birthday for tomorrow/Saturday! I love the cake and candles thing too. Have a lovely time with your dh and dd
ginger when is your bday? Sorry if I missed it already, but if not hope you enjoy whatever you get up to.
Big hellos to mollie blue sabs (you back yet hon? Hope you had a fab time!) and anyone else I haven't mentioned by name, sorry am feeling sleepy now so I think that's it for scamper
