Kiwigirl - that story about the name is funny! Yeah, it's really hard planning holidays with pg and m/c on your mind. We only did this because my FS said it would be fine and we only booked it a couple of months ago, so knew that if I was pg, it would be too early for there to be any problem with flying. It's hard, because you need to live and have things to look forward to, but it is really hard to plan. We just decided that we had put things off long enough, this really good opportunity came up and we could afford it, so we decided to just go for it and hope for the best. Of course now I am really worried about it, but with a bit of luck all will go well with this bub and we will have a great holiday (although with some tiredness and m/s!). Nov is probably fine to organise a holiday for. It is only in the last trimester that flying is difficult, and only I think the last 4 weeks when airlines don't like you to fly. I say just go for it! Oh, and travel insurance will cover you for up to 20 weeks, after that it gets a bit difficult.
satya - thanks! I am so glad you think this one will be a sticky one! I am feeling more confident each day (but at the same time trying to take a step back so I don't get too attached). My m/s is still shocking so something hopefully is working as it should. You poor thing - both your parents with cancer. That must be so stressful for you. I am dreading anything happening to my parents, and dad is starting to age now, so I worry about them. I don't know how your colleagues can be so insensitive when they know what you have been through. I think some people just don't get it. I have had the same thing with some people ( mainly MIL) and I don't think they realise how hurtful they are being. They bloody should though!
pash - you poor thing, that must have been so so scary. I hope all is well and you make sure you take it easy for the next few days. Can you ask for an earlier scan? That is so long to wait with all the worry you must be feeling. I am thinking of you sweetie.
Salt - what a lovely thing for your mum to do for your dad, but it must be so stressful for you having them both having surgery at the same time. I am not surprised you are not concentrated on work right now - you have way too much going on. I have not been focussed on work for months!
At DH's training last night, a guy there announced his wife's pregnancy. She is 6 weeks (so the same as me). And DH says to him 'You do know how high the chance of m/c is at this early stage, don't you?'. How embarrassing! I can't believe he actually said that! That's the kind of thing I think everytime someone announces a pg really early, but you never say it!! I don't know if many people do realise just how common m/c is. Maybe it's best for them to know.
I hate when we change threads too, I have forgotten everything else I wanted to say!
