M2LB - I'm so sorry for you, you've been through a bit of a rollercoaster.

LG&T - DS1 had shingles last summer (I think), his rash lasted for at least a month but didn't seem to bother him. He has since had chicken pox again! really thoroughly this time. A is on the move too (mainly backwards still) and also scratching my face off. I've taken to giving him a regular manicure and filing his nails!

Abby - I know how you feel. The boys have only both been healthy for about 2 weeks since the beginning of November. I'm knackered and rarely get colds myself but I do have one now.

Scoot - Things can only get better - you are right, they are wrong. Even if you have to go to a tribunal....

Cam - Gulp! that doesn't sound like what you signed up for.

Scoot - there's a thread about constructive dismissal. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/2310/389063 Might be worth a read.

evening all,

so sorry M22LB thinking of you.

Sorry to add to the doom and gloom had my scan toady no heartbeat they think it happened a couple of weeks ago. I am trying to be as upbeat as I can I guess it just wasnt meant to be. I doubly echo what m22lb said just remember how precious our little ones are and give them an extra squeeze tonight.

xx

M2LB and JW I am so sorry and for you. What devastating news. I have given my angel and my spotty monster extra hugs tonight. I hope you find strength in the coming days/weeks to get through it. Remember you mn friends are always here.

twelveyeargap · 01/02/2008 19:37

Oh Julie. I'm so sorry.

I don't know what to say to either of you.

twelveyeargap · 01/02/2008 19:43

Do you just have to wait and see what happens next JW? Or will the hospital bring you in?

juliewoolie · 01/02/2008 20:01

they gave me 3 options, let nature take its course, go in overnight and have a pessary or go in under general and have it all taken at once. Going for GA as I cant just wait and see and there is no way I want to go in ovenight on ward with other females. Spoke to PPP and they have authorised us to go private so will prob have to see my gynea and be scanned agin and then go in end of next week and have it all removed.

AprilMeadow · 01/02/2008 20:25

Julie & M2LB, i am so very sorry to hear of your losses. I dont really know what to say other than i am thinking of you both.

Lots of love xx

cinnamontam · 01/02/2008 20:52

Julie sending you love and hugs. So very sorry

twelveyeargap · 01/02/2008 21:09

I completely understand your decision Julie. It's great that PPP have authorised it and you won't be put on a labour ward or anything awful like that. And I think I would want to get the GA, rather than have to "deal with it".

Let us know when you're going in. If I can do anything for you - if you need any help with A after the procedure, I'd be happy to come over.

largeginandtonic · 01/02/2008 21:18

I am so sorry to hear you have lost your babies, i dont know what to say. You are both in my thoughts. Lots of love to you both Julie and Latinomom xxxxx

twelveyeargap · 01/02/2008 21:20

M2LB - Are you going to have to have a similar procedure to Julie? Do you have anyone who can come and help with the children for a day or two? I know your mom is away at the moment.

MumtoCharlotteMay · 01/02/2008 21:42

Oh my

M2lb and JW I am so very sorry. How sad for you both. I can't even think of any words to say. You're both very right, it does make you think just how lucky we all are for the little ones we have.

I'm thinking of you both xx

MumtoCharlotteMay · 01/02/2008 21:56

AM have sent you an email, hope you don't mind.

scootermum · 01/02/2008 22:09

Oh no

Im so sorry both of you..
I echo what TYG said JW, am always available if needed and wish I could say the same to you M2lb..

Please both look after yourselves and try to talk it through with people..after my mc (in what sounds like very similar circs to you JW)I bottled and it was not good..You have my number if you want a chat of if you are nervous re the procedure (horrid word, sorry) as I went for the same option..

lots of love to you both

Certainly puts my silly probs into perspective..so for you both..

anneme · 01/02/2008 22:38

M2lb and JW - I am so sorry and am sending lots of hugs.
JW - I had a number of GAs before having S and I did feel it made it easier to deal with because I was not waiting around. Just make sure you take it easy afterwards (in fact that goes for both of you - bear in mind that your bodies have taken quite a lot over the last 18 months or so)
Look after yourselves xx

mom2latinoboys · 02/02/2008 04:53

JW--I am so sorry. It's difficult to know what to say. I've been focusing on the positive. Just feel however you feel, and don't worry how you're supposed to feel or what you're supposed to do.

cameroonmama · 02/02/2008 04:58

Oh I'm so sorry M2LB and Julie , what upsetting news for you both. We are here for you both. x

mom2latinoboys · 02/02/2008 04:59

TYG to answer your question, at this point I don't need to have a procedure. I went for another blood test today and I should get the results on Monday. If my HCG levels go down they will call this a miscarriage, and keep sending me to get blood tests until my HCG comes out at 0.
Since there was nothing on the ultrasound they are currently calling this a "chemical pregnancy"

mom2latinoboys · 02/02/2008 05:03

I'm not even going to tell my mom. I've told 3 people and that's it.

twelveyeargap · 02/02/2008 08:03

Chemical pregnancy. What a horrible term.

juliewoolie · 02/02/2008 08:10

What an awful term m2lb.

Thanks for all the kind words and thoughts, back to more positive things today.

Scoot hows Lily.are we still going to try get together before you head back to work?

Got to drag our arses out of bed its a real pain selling your home the upkeep is a real pain in the bum.

have a good one.

Mrsjaffabiffa · 02/02/2008 11:35

M2lb and JW sending you big {{hugs}} and lots of love to you both. xx

AM Gutted about March and April.......

Juicylucytoo · 02/02/2008 15:32
