New thread - bringing lots of happiness, support and understanding through Christmas and into the new year!

@flatwhite...what on earth is slapped cheek? I just had a vision of kids being slapped at school when I read it 😂

Haha @Expecto! It's otherwise known as parvovirus, and is called slapped cheek because your cheeks go really red when you get it! It can cause miscarriage, and between 9-20 weeks can cause something called foetal hydrops which can be dangerous for the baby. It's all unlikely to happen, of course, but there is a risk, and with this being a rainbow baby, my anxiety is bad anyway!

Bad news for me, I’m afraid. Just an empty sac, baby must have died weeks ago

Hi Ladies,

Glad I found you, been hoping to join you all soon and now hoping I can!

I have a 3yr old dd. Had one cp before her, we started trying for another last may and had another cp in June followed by getting pg in Sept which sadly ended a mmc in October and a D&C in November. We had a half hearted go at trying again in Dec but only managed dtd once (busy xmas got in the way :)) and then properly went for it this month. I felt really sick on Saturday so did an early test sunday at 9dpo and got the squintiest squinter that prob wouldn't show on a pic. Tried again this morning and barely anything but I still feel symptomatic and got the attached. It's faint, but it's there, isn't it? Dare I believe? Did you all test early? Am I mad?

Sorry, that was a bit garbled. The pic shown was taken with my 2nd wee of the day. Fmu gave pretty much negative.

@Flatwhite...can’t believe I’ve never heard of it, stay well clear

@Hetty feel so bad, if you need to talk we are here

Hettyturnip I am so so sorry It’s heartbreaking. Have you discussed options? I hope your DH/DP is looking after you. X

@Hettyturnip I'm so sorry to hear that.

@Flatwhite32 I had a huge issue with slapped cheek in my first pregnancy.

Do pm me if you need to.

I'm so sorry @Hettyturnip look after yourself. 

Thanks @Ekphrasis I have just PM'd you.

Oh @Hettyturnip you poor love. Sending so many hugs. Please talk to us if you need to. Xxx

@hettyturnip I'm sorry for the insensitive cross post. I'm really very sorry.

Sorry for your loss Hettyturnip x

Hettyturnip I'm so sorry for your loss, please take care of yourself

Thanks guys.

Going for managed miscarriage tomorrow.

Good luck everyone. Hope your pregnancies are healthy, as simple as possible and that your anxiety is no more than you can cope with. Xx

All the best, Hetty - I hope it’s as bearable as it can be, and that you’re back here as soon as you’re ready X

I'm so sorry @Hettyturnip

So sorry @Hettyturnip, look after yourself and hope you are back here soon

I see a line @ladydolly, congrats !

So sorry hetty. I hope things go smoothly tomorrow.

@ladydolly yes sorry we just got thrown by the other posts, I do see a line. Congratulations ☺️

Arrgh, anyone watching Coronation Street tonight? I know it's not real, but it just reminds me how terrified I am for this pregnancy.

I an so sorry to hear your sad news @Hettyturnip

I've added a private scan to my harmony test because the wait between my 8wk and 12wk scans was really stressing me out. So now I only have to wait 3 more days until the next scan. I'll be 10+2 I think.
