Sorry you won't be able to tell DH's family in person, so you know how you are going to do it?

OH's family are going to find out on FB like everyone else, they wouldn't even find out that way apart from I added his sister back on there, most of them are vile and OH has said they don't deserve to be told seperately.

 

[LalaR]

Not sure. I assume we will just phone them. His sister and husband are currently living with his parents so it will just be one phone call. I suppose we could fly down for a weekend but it is all an expense.
Everyone else can get a text or see it on FB. I will need to let all my work colleagues know personally. They will be thrilled about me going off in our busy season!! Not that I am too upset about that - guarranteed Christmas off!!

Hi ladies, hope everyone is well.
my close family on my side know about the pregnancy but theres no way we're announcing it to my husbands side until after 12 weeks all being well.
I was really appauled by my mother in laws's insensitivity last year when I had two miscarriages.
After my second miscarriage in May I was pretty devastated especially seeing the heartbeat 4 times and getting to 8.5 weeks. My doctor gave me a 3 week line off work and I didnt even ask for it. He seen the state that I was in and basically said that it is a trauma to go through. Anyway my MIL came to the house the following day after I knew about no heartbeat. She came right out and said "This is no good, you need to snap out of this and get back to work. You need to stop buying all of these pregnancy test kits , I mean in my day you didnt even know that you were pregnant until 12 weeks" I just bawled my eyes out and couldnt believe how inappropriate and insensitive she was!! I didnt even hadve my D&C scheduled until 4 days later , I think it was quite acceptable how I was feeling.
Anyway my husband gave her what for and she then said "Its never happened to me so I dont know how it feels" ..yeah luckily it might never have happened to you but a normal human being knows whats appropriate and whats not, at least have some empathy.
My family are completely different and supportive. My own mum had miscarriages and knows exactly how bad it is xx

 

[Wiggler]

OMG I would have smacked my MIL had she talked to me like that!

OH is investigating the local private scanning place on his lunch break as he works kind of close to it, so hopefully I will find out if its still open and if the website is up to date (which I doubt as its still saying the clinic is closed on mar 28 2008 ) x x x

WIGGLER I am at work LAUGHING OUT LOUD by myself about your washing machine teeth dream! I think that made my day!!

, my first appointment is tomorrow. I am asking for a scan and hoping they do one. I felt VERY NAUSEUS Tuesday and even vomited (TMI) when trying to drink water but nothing since?!!!so I am hoping its not another blighted ovum. Aside from hot flashes, weird dreams, thirst and insomnia, sore bbs, I dont feel pregg either ladies..You are not alone. I was 5 weeks and 3 days when I finally got that wave but like I said its gone again....

AS FOR ANNOUNCING MY pregnancy, I will not for at least 4 months if I see a baby on a scan with a heartbeat that is! The good news for me, IM IN A LESBIAN RELATIONSHIP SO NO MIL TO SMACK DOWN. (I actually really like my OH's mom) but not so sure she will receive the news very well..time will tell..

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BLESSED DAY AND EVEN MORE BLESSED ON THE DAY OF YOUR SCANS!

 

[Wiggler]

Good luck at your appointment tomorrow hun, I hope they scan you. The symptoms you do have sounds great hun, its more than I have! Try not to worry hun

 

[asibling4gi04]

THANKS wiggler! Any more funny dreams?? I need something positive to keep me sane until tomorrow! I hope they scan me..there is a good chance since they know my history of empty sacs etc....

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Yeah, my MIL is pretty shocking at times. She caused grief before our wedding aswell moaning about things, but last year topped it off!

Asibling your lucky you dont have the MIL to contend with! So you think it may be a bit of a surprise though for your OH's mum? I wouldnt worry about it being another blighted ovum. I know its very scary but apparently they are very rare and the chances of you having another is slim, they are really bad luck. Fingers crossed all will be well and you'll get a scan to relieve your anxiety x

 

[asibling4gi04]

aww thank you so much justkeep..I am hoping the statistics are right but after having 2 weird pregnancies in a row (one blighted, and one no sac, no baby, just tissue??) I think anything is possible. I will update you with the good, bad or ugly as soon as I know tomorrow. How are you? I am sorry about the MIL causing grief. I think initially OH's mom will not be thrilled but she will come around as EVERYONE falls in love with babies!

Congrats Donna!!!!

 

[LalaR]

What a MIL!!! Mine is equally as insensitive. She asked me on my wedding day if I was keeping the diet up as I could do with losing a few more pounds!! Just what every bride wants to hear! Luckily they live 600 miles away. It is a shame we don't see FIL more as he is great.
My mum has been brilliant but she is still stuck in the 80s where you needed to miss at least 2 periods to qualify for a test! She couldn't understand how I could only be 4+ weeks.

 

[asibling4gi04]

GOT TO LOVE IT LALA! MIL..I HEAR STORIES THAT ARE UNBELIEVABLE! Too bad you could not move the FIL CLOSER! Your mom would be amazed if she saw the new technologies with HPTS. now they even have one that measures HCG levels... Its like $20.00 but its worth it I imagine...

 

[LalaR]

Golly - I never realised that type of test was available either. I suppose it's just a fancier version of the conception indicator ones. (Got my 3+ this morning!!)
How are you feeling now your appointment is nearly here? You seem much happier.L x

 

[asibling4gi04]

LaLa it just came out its called 'detect five" look it up!

AFM, I feel scared but got a little more at ease when I got nauseaus Tuesday and got my 3+ yesterday (I received a test in the mail from a friend yesterday as we do not have those here in US)..But I am terrified about tomorrow truth be told..just terrified..How are you holding up??

 

[Wiggler]

Urgh my MIL is awful too, she has never met my daughter who is one in less than 2 weeks and only met my son cos OH took him down there, then she plays the victim even when we offered to pay for her to get a taxi from her front door to ours. Lazy cow.

wow wigglker that is awful...lazy cow is right...I mean no disrespect but man thats wicked!

 

[Future Mama]

Hey girls I haven't been on in a while as I've been having really bad cramps and getting really worried about another mc. I ended up going to my dr today and they did an ultrasound and actually saw a very faint heartbeat! He said it was so early and was surprised to see a heartbeat at all. I go back Monday to make sure it's getting stronger. Hope everyone else is doing well!

 

[asibling4gi04]

yay future! YOU WILL BE FINE!

 

[LalaR]

Sorry about your worry but I am so glad that everything has turned out ok. Amazing to see a heart beat so early.
They won't scan me until almost 7 weeks as they say that they are unlikely to see anything before then. This will be a longer tww than the original tww!!
