PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

[Mrs Miggins]

I'm PAL in waiting too! I remember watching Marley and me when I was pregnant, I had no idea there was a scene where she has a miscarriage. I blubbed all the way through the film!

I'm PAL in waiting too! I remember watching Marley and me when I was pregnant, I had no idea there was a scene where she has a miscarriage. I blubbed all the way through the film!

DH and I were the same way with Up! I think Up handled it better than any other movie, though - the feeling of loss and hopelessness and sadness - and they did it all without any words. I sometimes will watch that first 15 minutes of Up just for catharsis.

Fortunately someone had warned me about Marley & Me and about the Time Travelers Wife. The one that really messed me up was The Help - DH and I saw it about a month after our third mc, and I had a full-blown panic attack in the theater. It was awful. After that experience, I ask for spoilers about any movie I'm about to go see - I'd rather have the ending ruined than be surprised by another mc scene in public.

Agreed HA. Wish I had an alert for Time Traveller's Wife. It was really traumatic to watch. Same with reading A Thousand Splendid Sun's. I got through one mc in the book and put it down. Come to find out it's about recurrent losses! I know we talked about this once on your FB page. It would be nice to have mc disclaimers on everything!

I have the time travellers wife here to watch as a rental. I keep putting it off because i know its a weepy. Have u read the book?

Heart i NEED that handbag or purse as u say! Lush!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I'd forgotten about Up! I saw that when I was pregnant too. I took my stepson to see it, I was about 8 months it was before I had had any miscarriages and I was still a wreck. Saw it more recently and I was an even bigger wreck. Won't be watching it again anytime soon.

Thanks Puppy! We call them handbags too. Purse is interchangeable. I think what you call purses are what we call wallets. Funny!

I never read Time Traveller's Wife. I've had it on my book shelf for years and for some reason always found something I wanted to read more than that one. Then one day I decide to watch the movie and was blindsided. The first loss she has is pretty bloody and traumatic. I tried to soldier on and keep watching it, but then after her second loss, I decided I didn't need to do that to myself. If you are trying to avoid that kind of thing, I highly suggest not watching it.

I just saw My Week With Marilyn and there is a mc in that too. But it is very quick and they don't focus on it in the movie. I could handle that (somewhat).

I haven't seen Up. I wanted to, but I work with depressed elderly people, so it feels too close to my work life. Not much of an escape.

TBH I have been avoiding watching it because of the bloody (as in blood, not swearing!) scene where she loses her husband. I always get weepy at those scenes, I always worry about losing DH

[Mrskg]

Havent but sure I could x how much do cloth nappies cost? X a 3 tier cake takes 60 odd nappies x

 

[puppycat]

Cloth are generally thicker but you can get wraps too which could fill up some spaces too. They're more expensive than disposables but they're prettier x

 

[Mrskg]

Boo for work Davies x yeah they're lovely eh seems to be a growing trend x

 

[Mrskg]

Will have to look into that puppy x I tend to make mine more of a keepsake gift rather than like the ones with blankets an vests an stuff that you would open an use you'll see what I mean from pics xx
