Laney - I hate the idea of spotting. I was terrified of it this time around. I had a small spot at 6 weeks but thankfully nothing since. I hope you are as lucky and have no more spotting to add to your anxiety. You are doing so well, keep up the positive thoughts.
Rozzie - hugs for moving into the maternity wear. I know it must be so hard having to wear it and also fear the questions that will arise. It sounds like you are doing a good job so far, and it is good that you can be honest and talk about Edward when people ask you. I think having to face people who may not know etc, is one of the hardest parts of the grieving. I always feel so vulnerable and that inevitably leads to feeling teary. Good luck over the coming weeks and I hope people are sensitive towards you. Also it is lovely that your DH can feel the kicks already. It took my DH until 25 weeks until he felt anything. I know it will bring back memories of Edward, but try to hold on to the fact that they are lovely memories even if bittersweet.
Paula - hugs with the text you received from your friend, but glad that she was sensitive when you called her. You must have felt exhausted by the end of the day. I hope your specialist can take over the management of your progesterone as well as hormones, that way you will know you have all bases covered. Don't worry about having an 'all about me' post - we all need to do those at different times.
Helen - so glad your spotting has stopped - fingers crossed it stays that way! Thanks for the labour vibes - keep sending them my way!
Sue - good luck for your scan on Monday. Can't help with the blood test results as I don't have them done - just the NT scan. I hope you have a lovely scan and see your little baby moving around for you and putting on a good show. Make sure you update us asap!
Hi to Tildy, Cindee and Jo and anyone else I have missed...I hope you are all well.
As for me, I am still sitting here counting the days. Saw my ob yesterday, he was running late as he had an emergency C/S and then a woman in labour. All is good, he said that the baby is a 'nice size' and reassured me that he doesn't mean big! I had to double check on that one. Blood pressure and baby hb is good, and still fully engaged, so the due date really is anyones' guess! My mum is doing well and had her first chemo treatment on Monday. She has been feeling pretty good and only had one instance of slight nausea, so fingers crossed that it continues through the whole treatment. She is currently staying with my sister, so is being looked after. She is getting excited about the baby and reminded me to call when I go into labour.
