Jess, I hope the pain has gone and it was nothing to worry about. All hospitals (at least in Aus - and it seems in the US too) only send you to maternity from 20 weeks. In Australia it is where a baby is termed a stillbirth as opposed to a miscarriage. Fairly arbitrary I think! I hope bubs was nice and happy, even on the crappy ultrasound and that you've been able to get some rest. I'm glad DH was there to see you through - it is better to have someone with you through that time!

angel - good luck with Irene, I hope she passes you by and you are safe!

DS had what is possible his worst night ever last night. And that includes the newborn time. He was completely hysterical most of the night and we could not fathom what the hell was wrong. DH and I are completely knackered. I hope he sleeps well tonight! We definitely don't need a repeat. On the plus side, went and visited a dear friend yesterday who has her new baby at home now. They're doing really well
