Great news saggy!

Gary- this sort of thing can last for weeks before baby actually comes. When is your due date? Hope it hurries up though as there's nothing more frustrating than waiting- especially if it looks like things are happening!! Very excited to hear your announcement though, hopefully soon!

I spent a whole day having strong contractions then they stopped completely, and DS wasnt born til 4 days later!! He was my second too.

Pentagon · 23/07/2013 12:56

great news saggy, congratz!

santa I agree with you - it would have been more exciting if the royal baby were a girl...now we have 3 male heirs to the throne, yawn...And in DH's opinion, our most successful monarchs have been female anyway (with the exception of Henry VIII) - not that he's a history expert or anything, just in his humble opinion Grin

jbrd I think it's worth telling your boss, I told my line manager very early on

CamomileHoneyVanilla · 23/07/2013 13:03

Hey folks. I'll also be slinking off back to the TTC thread. EPU confirmed complete miscarriage. We're now consoling ourselves with Camembert, wine and rare steak. Thanks for all the support and wishing you all healthy, happy pregnancies. Take care x

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 23/07/2013 13:06

Oh honey! Sad Im so sorry. I really hope that you will be back here REALLY soon. xxx

WhatWillSantaBring · 23/07/2013 13:08

jbrd I second telling your boss. Mine was the first to know this time (apart from DH), because I knew I'd have lots of antenatal appts before it went public, and I didn't want to have to go through the whole "I was pregnant now I'm not" conversation for a third time. You can explain that you don't want to make it public yet but you will tell her when its official. Unless she's a prize cow, of course, in which case I'd tell HR instead.

Just read a horrid post on the mc boards from a lady who doesn't trust her HR not to tell everyone that she had a mc, so doesn't want to say anything, but they're refusing to accept her Dr's note without an explanation. I know a lot of people struggle with HR issues, but seriously? I can't believe some people are that shit at their jobs, I really can't. Sad

Equally, I'm v impressed with the staff at the Lindo wing. To have kept news like that quiet for 4 hours is pretty good (I know, patient confidentiality is part and parcel but still, I think its impressive).

Fab news saggy on the presence of an alien life form. Long may we continue to spawn little parasites in our uteruses. (Except for you, Gary, I hope its not long at all).

Stats list update time?

WhatWillSantaBring · 23/07/2013 13:09

Oh no, x-posts with cam. I'm so so sorry for your loss. Look after yourself and we hope to see you again really really soon. {{{hugs}}}

BlackholesAndRevelations · 23/07/2013 13:10

Oh cam Sad so very sorry to hear this. Look after yourselves xxx

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 23/07/2013 13:36

oh cam i'm so sorry the worst has been confirmed. i hope you can take a good bit of time to get through this sad time. i really am so sorry xx

ChristineDaae · 23/07/2013 13:41

Cam I'm so sorry. I hope we see you back here soon Sadenjoy your steak.

Saggy, v happy for you, I think you joined the TTC thread about the same time as me!

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 23/07/2013 13:41

Santa there's no reason that Camilla or Kate wont be crowned...

WhatWillSantaBring · 23/07/2013 13:54

True, saggy, but part of me wants them to scrap that - the whole wives taking the status of their husbands is a bit, well, old fashioned? Plus, if it HAD been a girl, then they woudn't have crowned the son that I'm growing at the moment her spouse as King.

WhatWillSantaBring · 23/07/2013 13:55

Apologies, completely overexcited by the whole royal baby thing!! Grin Crown

andadietcoke · 23/07/2013 14:01

Oh Cam, sorry to see you go. Enjoy your steak, and hide away from everything until you feel better.

Saggy congratulations on the impending arrival of an alien. Awesome news. Grin

Santa yep - my HR manager did exactly that. Everyone knew, including the CEO, who was the last person in the world I wanted to find out. Apart from the day it was confirmed at the EPU I didn't have any time off to minimise any gossiping, and there was no point at all. Argh.

GuffSmuggler · 23/07/2013 14:11

So sorry cam, please hide away don't watch the news or buy any newspapers and take godo care of yourself x

saggy fantastic news, what's your revised EDD then?

GaryBuseysTeeth · 23/07/2013 14:55

Cam, I'm so sorry for your loss. 'Relieved' (sorry, I can't think of a more sensistive wording) it's a completed mc & you can get back to ttc again asap.
Enjoy the steak, wine & other banned foods...hope you're managing to avoid the news. x

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 23/07/2013 15:04

Revised EDD 14 March.

BumpKitty · 23/07/2013 17:25

cam so sorry that it was what you thought, I really hope to see you back soon. xxx

saggy congratulations on your little bean with a heart beat! I'm really pleased for you.

Amazing that both of you have been in the same EPAU today, I really hope your next visit cam is a happy one.

those of you with completely insensitive HR is there anyone you can complain to? I know its a different issue but the week before my mum died one of my colleague's also lost his mum, his boss (not the same as my boss) was absolutely awful, sending him texts to pester him and find out the latest as she was on life support, then asking if he'd be in the next day when she had died! Because he complained so much about his treatment I could not have been treated better when my mum died. So it is worth complaining about this stuff.

Thundercatsarego · 23/07/2013 17:46

cam I am so sorry for your news today. It's so unfair. Enjoy that steak and wine my lovely x

Chocolateteabag · 23/07/2013 18:34

Cam - can only echo what everyone has said before me, sorry that it's been confirmed but (teeny) silver lining that it's complete. Hoping it won't be long til you have a truly sticky one and a safe and happy pg. Flowers

Hi. Been lurking and dithering about asking to join your thread.
Cam so so sorry to see your news. Sorry to others too who are having a bad week.

I got BFP late last week so just a couple of weeks pregnant. MC 5 wks ago and another 7 wks before that. Have 3yo DS. Managing not to obsess about this pregnancy so far. Feeling like I'll cope whatever happens but it'd be good to have company. Wary that there was a hint from a friend of willingly putting myself at heigtened risk of MC by not taking a break before TTC again after first MC so not telling friends that I'm pregnant until I'm much further on.

GardenWorm · 23/07/2013 19:54

Hello and welcome Rainbow here's to a healthy pregnancy third time lucky x

Cam so sorry it was what you had thought. Words are not enough xxx

Just seen KMid - who had the baby for her??? Has she been walking around with a pillow up her dress for the last 6 months....obviously I looked just like that after DD. Not. She wasn't even walking funny! Grin

jmf294 · 23/07/2013 20:13

Welcome Rainbow- these other ladies here have been a great source of support and strength for me in my pregnancy so far.

Cam- so sorry, thought with you and take things gently.

I cried a lot when the royal baby came out to meet the world- hormones heh!! The Duchess looked perfect, and not surprisingly emotional. I wish them much happiness as a new family as despite its perks it's a tough job they do.

GuffSmuggler · 23/07/2013 20:26

Hi rainbow great to see you here, really hope this one is sticky.

Ignore your stupid friend, on the TTC after MC thread the general consensus was there is no known risk getting PG straight after MC they just advise it for dating reasons.

Pentagon · 23/07/2013 20:28

cam I'm so sorry your suspicions came true...all the best for next time!

DIY how did your scan go?

welcome rainbow and congratulations on your BFP! I think everyone tries to blame miscarriage on one thing or another but most of the time it's not something you're doing or not doing...better keep it from your friends for a while, fingers crosses all goes well this time

Kate looked amazing indeed! I felt bad for them though, having to parade their baby in front of everyone...part of the job description of course - being a royal certainly isn't easy

DIYandEatCake · 23/07/2013 20:37

Sorry for being so slow! 20 week scan went well, there's a perfectly normal little boy in there Smile. Due date is 10th dec (though on my dates would have been 16th). So chuffed to be joining all you guys past the 'half way' point. I now have a sudden urge to sort the house out... Might live up to my name again one of these days lol. Baby was very wriggly, so much so that we didn't buy a picture, they were all just blurs or a vaguely discernible bum and legs.

cam I'm so sorry and I really hope we see you back here again soon. Look after yourself.

Welcome rainbow!
