[NT123]

Congrats on the scan, I think I'm next unless anyone else has theirs Sunday/Monday? If so lots of good luck xx

Sensitivity to other people when announcing pregnancy is something that concerns me. I was told my a colleague who knows I'm pregnant that someone else at my company who I don't particularly get on with is desperate for a baby and will likely take the news ( if everything is ok) of my pregnancy very badly and as much as we don't get on I am determined I will not be a person who blindly carries on with no regard to the heartache it may cause other people. I have therefore thought that I would probably be best the make the announcement by email so that She can privately take the time to get her head around the situation. I also feel no burning desire after my loss to be running around screaming it from the rooftops as I once would have done...it's a much more calm and realistic thing to me now.

Anyways, can you give me your opinion if this draft wording below sounds ok to you?

" Dear All,
I just wanted to send a short note round to everyone to let everyone know that I am pregnant and my baby is expected in February, all being well. I intend on being at work for as long as possible prior to my leave and apart from taking up too much room in the corridor and taking an hour to get up the stairs i hope it will all be business as usual. "


What do u think? I don't really want it too jokey or too somber either and telling work colleagues is different to telling friends and family.

[NT123]

Mine is tomorrow too flutterbaby, at 12.20, trying not to freak but almost impossible I know. How is your SIL? having found out that way about an mc myself my heart goes out to her. X

 

[AllMacsNow]

Oh no, Flutter, I am so sorry. That's so terrible for your SIL and family... and though I feel your baby is fine, I can understand how that's going to be cause for heartbreak in the family too

 

[flutterbaby]

tbh it's my hubbys bothers girlfriend and the family dont like her i do but i think shes alone in feeling sad its worse for her because her fella dont give a shit ............can you imagine greiving alone
thats why i went to scan etc


my scan is at 6 oclock private one because hubby wont make it till 12 weeks 1


anyone else in a foul mood today just want to be left alone and feel like im kill someone if they speak to me bloody hormones

 

[hope88]

Im so sorry about you sil i bet shes glad shes got you its very sad outcome but stay positive ( i know easier said than done) and wishing u a healthy wriggly baby on scan day.

 

[PerpetualMama]

I'm sorry about our SIL. That is heartbreaking to be alone in your grief of a loss. It's hard enough that the general population doesn't really understand how you feel, but when your SO could care less that is a slap in the face. My heart goes out to her and those who care for her

 

[debzie]

Such sad news flutter I am truely sorry for your SIL and the fact that it has brought you worry too.

I am not ready to kill anyone just yet just feel irritated constantly even with my 4 yr old then feel guilty.

 

[debzie]

Oh and good luck with the scans and screening.

I got my results back from my blood test 1 in 50000 of baby having downs. That plus a NT measurement of 1.4mm means I am low risk.

 

[Blue eyes 81]

Good luck with your scans ladies.

 

[hope88]

Debzie thats a good result i also got mine today which was 1 in 3589 and nt of 1.4mm low risk also
