Rozzie - It sounds like you are going through a lot at the moment, and it all sounds very familiar. Just so you know, it took me a long time to tell people about this baby. In fact I waited until I was 15 weeks to tell my brothers and my dad (my mum and sisters knew). DH told everyone the moment we had the 12 week scan, but it was just too raw and emotional for me. I still find people who I am friends with that don't know and it is now a little embarrassing having to say 'Yes I am pregnant and 32 weeks'. I found it very hard to 'share' the news as I didn't want people to get excited and jump around, and I was also paranoid that the more people I told the more that would need to again be told if we lost this bub - which of course is a terrible and negative way to think...but hey I can't control my thoughts all the time. So just do what feels right. There is no set rule to these things, some people make their announcements at 8 weeks...and others like us wait.

Tildy - I am so glad that your latest bleed was nothing new and that your placenta has moved up. It is all sounding wonderful. And yes I understand how hard it is when people want to ask about names etc, when all you want to think about it how long until your next scan.

I am so sore, I have to go and have a shower to try and get rid of the aches and pains.
