Sorry to disappoint Essie and neenz but God is having no credit for this baby - Mother Nature and my wonderful dh are getting it all!
Re: Times article, we never actually got round to doing it every night! It was just once - a whole new meaning to the phrase "one hit wonder"! Dh is now laughing at the irony that his attempt to rekindle our sex life has now put it on hold again for another year or so!! Poor man!
Thank you for all the new congrats today - you're all very sweet to be so excited for me, esp as I've told you all so early. Spent the day veering from elation to terror and am now exhausted. Oh and thanks for the virtual maid, footstool and cotton wool!
Went to the GP today - he did rather rain on my parade by sounding very concerned about the possibility of an ectopic - he then phoned the EPU at our local hospital and by chance got hold of the registrar. He said it was obviously much too early for a scan so I have had a blood test and will be having another one on Friday. The HCg levels will help give an indication of whether it's in-utero or not. They will then follow this up with a six week scan. So by Monday I should have some idea of whether it's a viable pg or not - absolutely bricking it tbh .
I also emailed my lovely IVF consultant who has also offered to scan me - I was so touched as obviously this pg has nothing to do with her clinic. She really is one in a million as far as doctors are concerned.
Amber, sorry to hear you're feeling so rough - you poor thing.
Cough medicines - I've heard the same as Amber, all a complete waste of money. We just kept A as hydrated as possible but endured a few sleepless nights while we coughed himself awake.
Talking of sleep - A had a two and a half nap this morning! We then used CC to get him to sleep this evening and it took TEN minutes! We only had to go back in once and he was out for the count .
Right off to rest up .
