Hi ladies,

How is everyone? Hope your scan went well today Laura Ruth I hope you've had a lovely first day with your new class.

I am feeling a little better from my cold but yesterday something huge happened and at the moment my world is crashing down around me, my family is in crisis and I just feel so scared for the future. I don't want to go into details yet, things are still unknown and we're waiting a lot at the moment. I stayed with my mum last night and only got about an hours sleep. I am forcing myself to eat but can't manage much. I feel sick to my stomach, everything has changed and there's a very hard road ahead for me and my family. None of this is pregnancy related, but the amount of stress and worry has me worried for baby.

I can't talk to anyone about any of this right now, everything is uncertain including our holiday on Saturday which we may now not be going on. You ladies feel like my lifeline right now, I really need some support.

Anyway, I hope you're all well, can't wait to see your scan pic Laura, at least this thread may be a good distraction for me right now

 

[JenJen80]

Oh Bec I'm sorry to hear things are tough for you at the moment . We are here for you when and if you are ready to tell us. Sending you BIG (((hugs)) x

 

[JenJen80]

Oooo and good luck Laura lol sorry I thought it was Ruth's scan today. My brain is frazzled!!!!

 

[New Mrs W]

Oh Bec, how awful. I really hope you start to feel better soon and manage to find a solution to whatever it is. Literally, we are here any time for you. Try hard to think of Joshua and your little bump to stay strong. Feel free to rant and rave whenever you want, we are here for each other so if one needs more support than the other then that's what will happen. Thinking of you xxx

 

[JenJen80]

Well ladies it finally happened today!!! I had to take a very quick dash to the toilet and yes I was the sickest I have been so far and I was at work .
Hoping tomorrow I will be ok although I'm exhausted as i have to be up at 6 am and don't get home till gone 7pm.

 

[New Mrs W]

Oh no Jen!! Hopefully it won't last long!

Laura hope today was ok? xx

 

[Bec27]

Hi everyone,

Laura I hope your scan went well yesterday

Jen I'm sorry to hear you were sick and that you have had an early start today, I hope you got a good night's sleep and that you feel good today.

Ruth, wishing you the very best of luck for your scan today, it's such an exciting event and such a reassuring one too. Can't wait to HEAR all about it (lol!)

Well I got a good sleep last night which I really needed. Today is a big day as a lot of the questions I have about what is happening in my family will be answered. I am very nervous and scared but am trying to be brave. I'm glad we have our scan tomorrow and DH is off for the day so all being well it should be a good distraction.

Thanks for your kind comments and support, it has all been so appreciated xxx

 

[Laura91]

My scan went fine yesterday, they put me back to 11 weeks (so only 5 days back) but I expected this due to irregular cycles My scan pictures are in my journal - didn't wanna clog up this thread

Bec - As the others have said, we're all here for you if/when you want to talk. I hope things aren't too tough today xx

Ruth - Good luck for you scan! xx

Jen - Sorry you had a rough day yesterday, hope today's a little better xx

 

[JenJen80]

Yay great the scan was ok. Fab pics getting exciting now but shame they put you back.

 

[New Mrs W]

Just had my scan!! It went really well, baby has a lovely strong heartbeat and we saw it's little legs and arms, its forehead and nose. We saw it turning and wriggling!! And they've put my dates forward, I am exactly 12 weeks today! Baby Westbrook is due on 21st March 2013! So relieved everything looks great!

Laura so glad yours went well. They put me back a few days last time too, not that it matters as your baby will come whenever it wants!!

Bec I'm glad you got some rest last night. Your scan will take your mind off things I'm sure. Update us tomorrow to let us know how it goes xx

 

[Bec27]

Ruth I'm so glad it went well, how amazing seeing your little baby wriggling around. I loved my scans with josh and I can't wait to see our little one tomorrow.

Well I have some answers and things are so hard right now and at the moment I can't imagine them getting any easier. Time is a healer so maybe that will help but my very happy life is not so happy anymore at least I have DH, Josh and this little baby to help me through.

 

[Laura91]

Glad everything went well Ruth! Do we get to see some pictures?

Bec, I don't know what else to say other than I hope you're ok and xxx

 

[JenJen80]

Morning all. Glad the scan went went Ruth and Bec good luck for today I hope things are ok on the personal matter.

Today is finally my day off and I sure need it although I was awake at 6am . I have got stacks of washing and ironing to do today plus other housework.
I was sick again yesterday but managed to save it till I got home from work . I am beginning to get a little bump now and i'm not going to be able to hide it for much longer. I have decided that when I have had the scan on on Weds next week I'm going to go straight to my mums and tell her.

Hope you all have something nice planned for the weekend.

 

[Laura91]

Wow Jen! Can't believe you've managed not to tell anyone yet

T told practically anyone he spoke to !

Good luck today Bec! x

 

[New Mrs W]

Good luck today Bec!!

I've had a bad night, woke up for the loo at about 1am and felt something dripping and I was bleeding bright red and heavy. There were a couple of clots too I've had a pad on ever since and nothing is on the pad. Been to the loo a couple of times and it seems to be tailing off but I am very worried. I spoke to a nurse at the EPAU this morning who has booked me in tomorrow morning. But the Ward Clerk has just rung me and said they won't scan me again for at least a week as it won't show anything. I don't really understand this as it would at least show if I have a baby whose heart is still beating. I explained that the bleeding was 12 hours after my scan and that as my blood is Rhesus Negative I will need anti-d and she went off to speak to a nurse. She came back and said I am still to go but I have no idea if they will scan me or what they will do.

 

[Laura91]

I hope everything's ok Ruth! xxxxx

 

[Bec27]

Hi ladies,

I am so nervous about today, my head is a mess at the moment and I've had so much going on that all of a sudden this day is here and I feel a bit unprepared. We have decided we are not going on holiday but may go for some day trips or a few nights away somewhere else. Least of our worries at the moment.

Ruth I am so sorry you've had such a scare in the night, I can understand you must be beside yourself and desperate to know all is still ok. Try to stay as positive as you can and I hope they can help reassure you tomorrow. Have you had pain and cramps as well or just the bleeding? Big

Jen, hope you have a good day off and that you have a sick free day.

I'll update you all later after my scan xxx

 

[New Mrs W]

No pain or cramps, there is very little bleeding now. X
