After 10 years of fertility treatments, countless failed IVF cyclces and four heartbreaking miscarriages (all at around five weeks), my brother phoned me tonight to tell me that he was sitting on his sofa looking at a scan picture of a little tiny being with a strong heartbeat at seven weeks! Its early days but all the signs are good and this is the furthest they have ever come. I am just sending a heartfelt plea for all of you, whatever your beliefs, to send a little prayer or positive thought that this little baby makes it. I really really believe it makes a difference. We've been praying hard ever since the IVF cycle and I dreamt they had a little girl! They will be wonderful parents. So please send a thought of strength and life and hope and love and whatever else to help this most precious little person make it safely into the world.
thanks with the biggest lump in my throat xx

so glad for them. Have tears in my eyes.

this has made me smile..I remember what it felt like when we reached the 12 week mark with dd who is now 15 months..an amazing time.

The worries and concerns will never go away and I feel they are even worse when you have experienced trouble conceiving, mc's and even worse but I wish them all the best.

I will keep checking how they are doing... xx

Little Bean
So precious
Seems fragile
Yet beguilingly agile

Be brave little one
In your journey - so long
Friends through the world
Who are willing you on

Every hour brings you closer
To arms that are warm
And are wating to cradle
All your joys, every storm

For your life, Little Bean
Means so much as we know
That each milestone and moment
Is us all as we grow...
