Perpetual, I love your tattoo... haven't read the poem yet, because I'm sure it will make me cry, and I need to prepare myself for it, lol. I am sorry that your daughter is going through this... I am sure that your little one on the way is very bittersweet for her.

Mrskg, beautiful pics!

AFM, had a bit of a scare yesterday. When I went to the bathroom yesterday when I woke up, I was bleeding, bright red. Of course it was too early to do anything about it, so that stunk... it was a lot of waiting.
Then, my regular OB/GYN wouldn't see me because I've been going to a specialist (who released me... my first appt with the OB/GYN is supposed to be Friday) They said they couldn't get me in before Friday, because he hadn't seen me for this pregnancy. WHAT? Not like I'm a completely new patient... just have been elsewhere for the beginning of the pregnancy. And like if I went in there, he wouldn't have been able to tell how the baby was, because he hadn't seen it before? I was (am) livid. They suggested I call my FS or go to the ER. Luckily, my FS's partner had an appointment available for me.

Everything is fine. The baby's ok, and heartrate is still up at 157. S/he was moving around, and there was no evidence of more blood. He said this happens in almost 1/3 of pregnancies, and that sometimes as everything grows, the placenta pulls free a little from the uterine wall, but that it's no big deal.

Scary, though. Very scary.
 
allmacsnow now that must have been scary big :hugs: so glad everything is ok xxx

That's the scenario of my nightmares. i shudder at the thought it could still happen :hugs: glad everything looks ok!
The poem is not nearly as bad as the letter. I wouldn't post it because we've all been there, and some of us more recently than others :cry:. This is our happy time with our new bubs :) and I'm not going to be responsible for bringing you all down.
I officially can't fit in my "big" jeans, not even with an elastic on the button. Maternity pants fit but the stupid soft fabric goes all the way around so there is nothing to keep them from slipping low and dragging my panties down with them :cry: I had myself a fit last pregnancy because I couldn't keep my pants up. Spent the whole fall and winter in farmer's jeans :dohh:
 
well after 5 days of not speaking at all ive finally kicked him out the first night we could of spent together was tonight he came in ate the dinner i cooked him had a shower and went out thats enough if a hint for me that he needs to go
:shrug:
 
Mrskg - fantastic scan pictures :) Congratulations :hugs:

AllMacs - I can't even imagine dealing with something like that, glad you've had good news in the end :hugs:

Flutter - sorry you're having to go through this, men can be the stupidest, most pig-headed creatures on the planet at times. You have to put yourself and your kids first now. Maybe kicking him out might give him a fright and he'll realise what he is risking losing. Be strong :hugs:


I have my first scan tomorrow morning and I'm trying so hard not to freak out. I'm almost in denial about it happening tbh, I think it's my way of self preservation. I have a feeling I'm going to be told the same as I was in February but at the same time I really, really hope I'm wrong and it's happy news. Tomorrow would also have been my due date and Friday is 17th anniversary of my mum passing so I'm pretty much an enormous bag of emotions and nerves just now.
 
MrsK - Love the scan picture. So happy for you!

I am jealous of all the wonderful scan pictures everyone is getting...mine seems so tiny although someone day that it just wasn't zoomed in but I think I am a natural worry wart. I have an appointment on Wednesday so I hope she will tell me more then!

took out the last of my maternity stuff and CANNOT believe my butt was ever big enough to need the tents I pulled out. How depressing. Scouring craigslist for used stuff. I just want pants that don't fall down! I did find a couple pair in my stash that might work for better for me if I can find a belt (they have loops)...or some spare clothesline :haha:
I really am loving the bump now that it looks like a small baby bump. Even though I know the baby isn't nearly as big as the belly makes it look.

Flutter: Mrskg is right. I did the whole single mom thing with 4 kids for 5 years. Somehow you find a way. Will your family be supportive? Sometimes it is better to be alone and get to be yourself rather than live with someone who obviously wants to be anywhere but home. That can do a number on how you feel about yourself. Maybe he will come to his senses when he realizes you're serious?
 
Flutter, sorry u are going through this and hope ur ok, I hope this is a massive shock to him and he gets his act together x

Lulu, like u I was somewhat convinced of the repeat scenario and got amazing news that u think will never come, try and be positive as u can but I know waiting to be called to the moment they tell u it's ok will be the longest moments that u feel u can't even breathe. Tell the sonographers so they are quick, mine must have told me in 2-3 seconds that I had a viable baby, and for that kindness I will be forever grateful to her. Now I worry about the next few weeks and know I'm going to worrying about bean for as long as they are in my life... Ah the joys. Tell us how u get on!! Xx
 
thanks ladies my family are really supportive and tbh have been picking up the slack for him for months anyway with having the boys im totally fine with raising the boys on my own he's made it easy as hes not been around for months anyway i do hope it will shock him as i love him very much b ut tbh i love me and my boys way more and i know we deserve a man that loves us more than anything

im giving him 1 weeks to sort something out then ill get the ball rolling for the single life

he knows ive my scan tomorrow so lets see if he asks how things go I BET HE DONT EVEN REMEMBER TIL NEXT WEEK
 
Looks like im going into the single life as well when i got pregnant i asked my partner to do joint tennancey for our security as its his flat he didnt seem happy about it and said the only reason i wanted him to do that was because as soon as it was under both our names he said i would kick him out this is not true y wud i even do that i want us the be a proper family anyway in the end he made the phone call and we had to wait for a letter ive just found this letter and confronted him about hiding it and he said he doesnt want to do a joint tenancy of his council flat that he wants me to go get my own place and he will visit us both and still be a couple he then sed then theres no chance of him losing his flat IS HE FIR REAL im so upset he thinks that little of me and what sort of family is thhat going to be h he smokes drugs and drinks all the time now more than he used to....i dont no what to do we tried so hard for this baby afrer 2 loses now he comes out with this i asked him time and time again to stop smoking that crap he was lik i will wen babys here...i dont believe a word he says anymore
 
Flutter & Hope :hugs: I hope you both find some peace soon, you both deserve to be treated better than you are.


I'm happy to report that my scan went well this morning, baby was having a little wriggle to itself and it was weird to watch it on the screen. It felt completely surreal after I'd done such a good job at convincing myself that I was going to get bad news. It still hasn't really sunk in yet to be honest :dohh: But baby is measuring 12wk 3days so changes my due date slightly to Feb 25th.

I've told DH that I don't want to tell anyone at the moment, I feel I need a little more time to get my head round the whole thing before we go public. Plus I want to tell my work before it starts getting spread around facebook.

But saying that I might tell my family tomorrow actually, the 4 of us (dad, sister, brother & me) will be laying flowers at the cemetery for my mum's anniversary so it good be a good time to share some happy family news.

I'll post my scan pic later, I tried to take a photo with my phone but it was rubbish!

Congrats, Lulu. I know you didn't feel positively at all. Hopefully now it will start to feel real to you.
