Luna - I had a miscarriage at around 6 weeks and it was much less painful than the later ones but still far more painful than a normal period. I hate to hear that you are still in limbo without some more final blood tests.

Ferrals - I think this amnio is a good thing for you as when you get your results you can finally being to enjoy this pregnancy and share your good news with everyone.

Alice - I find that odd about the wait and criteria for fostering. My sister's friend used to foster and they are so desperate for people to take on children (of all ages) that she is constantly being rung and asked to come out of retirement as there are so few people willing to do it. Is there another agency you could foster through?
