Just to let you all know. Some incidents that occured recently have led me to approach the other Moderators and Admin about an idea for a new thread. The others agreed that this could be a good idea. Lucy has just finished setting up a new Sub Thread Titled "Support/Debrief After StillBirth/Late Loss/Death of a Child. You can find this new thread HERE This I forsee as a safe arena for those that feel they can benefit/need a place to talk freely and openly.
I hope that members find this helpful.
I am sleepy and will finish doing some posts and go to nighty nights!
BB tomorrow for some personals.
Hi all - just wanted to start this thread off with some babydust and stickyvibes. Fingers crossed we get some more BFPs in here soon.
I will need to look back over the last thread to see how I need to say hello to, but I know I started writing a post the other day and it got eaten. It was mainly to say that Jo - sorry that yor dr chose his words so poorly. I hope he has learnt something from this (and the med student) and will move forward with a better idea of what to say to support you. I won't say how strong I think you are, as you probably don't feel it at times. Rather I will say that I hope you are sleeping ok (I found that was very difficult) and are taking care of yourself. Big hugs
Happy to see my ticker saying 29 weeks, I am looking forward to 30...it seems like a good number. Will be back later.
Katie I am glad to see your ticker saying 29 weeks too! It is so wonderful to see those weeks tick by. On that note Tildy and Rozzie's tickers seem to have jumped on ahead too! Fantastic!
Rozzie - I just want too wish you a very peaceful day tomorrow for Edwards EDD. I hope you find comfort and love in whatever you choose to do, even if it is just lying on the couch! Look after yourself and DH, I will be thinking of you.
Jo - How are you going? Have you had to have Madison's farewell yet? That is yet another unbelievable thing that no parent should endure, I send ALL of my love and strength for you, as you need it far more than me at the moment.
Hammi - How are you? Now that a week has passed by after Hamish's EDD?? I am OK, although I am still doing the 'I would be just over 41 weeks now, if I were still pregnant'. I have too learn to stop that, but the sad realization is that it will never stop, because there will always be anniversaries of some kind, I just have too learn to live with that.
Rozzie - I hope you were able to find a way to remember Edward on his EDD yesterday. I am sorry this message is a day late, but DH was using the computer all day yesterday doing an assignment. I hope the day was a peaceful one, and you were able to remember Edward as the beautiful boy he is and will always be.
Helen - it is only natural to count the weeks and think where you would be. I still find myself working out how old Nathaniel would be - in fact he would be 4 months and 2 days (assuming he came on his EDD). I feel like I have been pregnant forever. Even the couple of months in between the two babies, I still felt pregnant or acted is as we were TTCing. I only drank a couple of times, but mind you one of those was a complete reversal to my old party ways from years ago...as sick as I was the next day it made me feel normal again.
Jo - how are you? I continue to thnk about you and your lovely family and of course Jack and Madison.
Hi Sue - I am so sorry to hear about your little frostie. I am so disappointed for you and can understand that this must be a hard thing to work through. I hope taking the month off will help you build up your spirit and give the hope you need to try again in October. Take care
Sue, I'm sorry little frostie didn't make it. I think it's a good idea to have a break. Distract yourself with something else other than baby-making for a month. How about some pampering? Hopefully Oct will be your month. I think I'm going to start TTC then too. How fun, a TTC buddy for me :-)
Katie are you going on maternity leave next week. I remember you said you'll go in Sept. It'll be so exciting when you get to the 30s on your ticker. What preparations have you made for your baby girl? Have you already got things from Nathaniel? Did you buy things for this bub?
Helen, I'm doing OK. I'm now in full Prepare Body for TTC mode starting with - what else - a blood test today for thyroid, iron, folic etc. I still want to see my BBT doing the right things so hopefully it will all sort itself out in Sept. I've managed to stop counting pregnancy weeks but unfortunately there'll always be anniversaries that will remind us of the babies we don't have in our arms :-(
Where are you Roz and Tildy? Hope everything is tracking along nicely for you.
Rozzie - I am so so happy that all is well. That was the best news!!!! What did you end up doing for Edward's EDD???
Jo - still thinking of you and hoping you are ok.
Katiegirl - I love seeing your ticker go up. It is so reassuring. How are you feeling?
Helen - thank you for all the baby dust. I will keep all of it for when I go to IVF in October.
Tildy & Danek - hope all is well with the both of you.
Well I had some heartbreaking news. My DH best friend and wife started TTC the same time as us and they already have a little boy. Well they told us on the weekend that they are having their 2nd in Feb. I was really happy for them, but it broke my heart. They are the typical try one month, get pregnant - successful.
Though I am happy for them, it still broke my heart, especially after Wed and little frostie didnt come through.
They told DH by phone on Sat (which was good) and we went over there on Sunday for lunch (which gave us time to absorb it). I really struggled to go as I didnt know how I would react. Anyway it turned out well. I went into their house and saw the wife and gave her a hug and said "congratulations, I am so happy for you" and we both, yes both!! burst into tears. She has been feeling so guilty that they are able to conceive easily and succeed. So even though we feel really bad, they also do....
I have too learn to stop that, but the sad realization is that it will never stop, because there will always be anniversaries of some kind, I just have too learn to live with that.
