Sad to see we've had some early losses, but wonderful to see lots of you have had more positive news. Have read it all but a combination of exhaustion and baby brain has appears to limit my ablitity to function quite severly. Shopping is an endless task even with a list, walk into a room to forget what I wanted... it's even too much of an impossable task to transfer my sister's tempory holiday mobile number from the email she sent to congratulate her on getting engaged.
lill any twinge is worrying, had loads early on this time around where as with dd when I wouldn't have worried I had next to none. 'fanny daggers' were most panic enducing for a while.
keys pleased the clot has passed and peanut has stayed strong. Hopefully that's one less thing for you to worry about.
crumble it's such a strange thing to come to terms with, but really common, a few of my friends have had the same happen and while they're over joyed to have a baby they've also lots one. My sister's best friend is the twin who servied early pregnancy and abosorbed her sibling. My grandma also must have had it several times, 7 pregnancies resulting in 8 children in the days before scans. Other than with my dad and his twin, her dates were often out and she measured big for how many weeks she should have been since her last period.
molly congratulations, we found it hard to tell people and didn't want to tell anyone until after 24 weeks after our early loss. Fell in the wtf cycle so didn't have to worry about the people who knew about the mc worrying it was taking time to fall again. Actually told my parents at just after 6 weeks, despite a spotting, and a few selected close friends who had been through similar. My mum and dad were fantastic and I wouldn't have coped without their support with looking after dd with debilitating sickness. I think a lot of it depends on you and how your feeling and the sort of people you tell. My mum and dad were practically supportive and didn't bring up I was pregnant unless I did which was what I needed. Eventually told mil just before 20 weeks as she was worried I was really unwell as I'd been laid up for so long recovering from stomach problems, but made sure it was kept quite, although she talked constantly about the baby and was put out about not knowing from bfp. Very glad we never told her about mc. It became public knowledge at 24 weeks.
