When not to search the archives of Mumsnet

[Rhubarb]

I was just doing a search to find out who replied to my very first post as per a recent thread here. I didn't find my first post as the archives don't go that far back but I did find my posts when I found that I was pregnant for the second time, my shock and thoughts and fears suddenly confronted me again. Then I read about when I started bleeding and was told not to be optimistic by the doctors, reading the consolations posts brought tears to my eyes. I was gutted as I had wished for the pregnancy to go away and I thought I had cursed it and it was my fault, then I went for a scan a week later and I was still pregnant! But the most moving thing I read were the responses, other people's empathy. The Mumsnetters who are still here! They were all so so kind to me and so so understanding that I've come across all teary again! I feel so moved by these people and their goodwill but I also feel so saddened by a situation I had put to the back of my mind and have just been reminded of!

So a warning for those searching the archives, you might come across things you forgot about and it might stir up a few memories!

Oh and a big heartfelt thanks to those people again - you all know who you are!

The babe in question did turn out to be a boy, as predicted, and is now 2.5 years old!

good advice bit like reading an old diary not always a hppy thing to do

rhubarb- just come across my second post, which starts......:

"Hi, My son 26 month old son has language delay and some red flags for autism (like not pointing although he's just started, and looking at things using weird angles); although he's not bad enough to need further investigation."

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Hi, rhuby

I found one from 29/05/2001 - about your mother (now there's a thing!) Your name then didn't have an initial at the end.
