MSE Pregnancy Club IX

got-it-spend-it

Yay, lovely to have some good news from Mrs Moc and Vicstar. I am so pleased for you both!

Just to add to the 12 weeks debate, I started posting on here at 8 weeks after I had my private scan and saw the heartbeat. For me, like others, it was such a relief to have somewhere to talk about babies as I didn't tell anyone other than very close family until 12 week scan (still haven't told most people). I must admit I did collect my Bounty packs etc after my private scan, even though I knew there was still a mc risk. I guess I just thought that even if I had a mc, I would still be TTC again very soon so would want it eventually. I had an early mc in January so know how heart wrenching it is, but I guess we all just cope with the early stages as best we can, and do need an outlet like on here to vent our hormonal anxieties.

Big hugs to anyone in need of them at the moment x x x

My DH is getting the snip this time.

:rotfl:I always thought; how on earth do you lose them but you didn't know it wasn't there did you? so where/how/when do they go?
Sorry I know I sound soo stupid there

I don't think any of us are saying that people shouldn't post on here before the 12 week mark, or that they are wrong to be thrilled and excited about their BFPs. I hope that none of the recent posts either make newbies feel unwelcome or deter other newbies from joining.

Speaking for myself, I think I am just very sad and shocked by the large number of losses and threatened losses over the last few days, and by EA's in particular as she had become such a large part of the thread so quickly. And part of working through that shock and sadness by me and others has been a discussion about how precarious those first 12 weeks are, and how hard it is when someone has been discussing it freely and excitedly to know how to respond when things go wrong. IRL a lot (though by no means all) people don't tell until they are past that point, so we tend not to know about losses when they happen unless we are very close to the person involved. It's much harder to know what to say and do when you don't know the person well or at all.

Latest celebrity baby news:
Samia Smith, who plays Maria in Coronation Street has announced she is 13 weeks pregnant.
Her character Maria has been pregnant on screen ‘for the best part of the past two years,’ says the actress, ‘As soon as I get rid of the fake baby bump, I will have a real one!’
Sadly, Samia's father Joseph died last week, but she spoke of her joy that he knew she was expecting. The baby is due in October, and will be the 10th baby to be born to a Corrie cast member in the last 18 months.
There’s clearly something in that Manchester water…


I read this too, she is same as me.
Sorry to hear of yet more losses.
I joined this thread rediculously early on,not quite 4 weeks,but I fully understood that the worst might happen (still could I suppose) I was just bursting to tell 'someone' about my pregnancy and still keep the secret from friends and family and work. It worked for me,time flew by!
Im absolutley knackered,emotionally. Been to work friends funeral.
Ive felt baby move again today :j(yes,Im sure it was baby,not wind lol) Won't be long now till hopefully I get to hear the heartbeat,Ive got to make my 15week midwife appointment first,that reminds me.
I feel so huge and bloated today..so uncomfortable. It must be bloat cos at this early stage baby is really low down, my bump shouldn't start from just under my boobs should it!? urggghhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Sami_Bee

Nicki - how do you always manage to put things so eloquently?!

We just feel a bit 'funny' witnessing things going badly for ladies xx

I'm very excited about joining team blue, can someone update the list for me?
We've thought (and fought) over loads of names but no agreed on any....the girls one we'd decided on years ago but boy's is a real sticking point....we can't seem to agree on anything!

Luckily the boys clothes and blue Bumbo i bought won't got to waste...

That's the same as us, we've got a girls name completely sorted... Still no agreement on the boys name... But there's a 50% chance we won't need to worry about it...

:eek: I for one have never given my child a greggs sausage roll, in fact he doesn't automatically say "sausage roll" when we see a sign for greggs :whistle:

Yes, and Aimee doesn't call Greggs 'the sausage roll shop' either (I lurrrrrrrved the bacon and chicken lattice but was sadly informed yesterday they don't do them anymore )

Not caught up yet but can i ask those of you that applied for the Sure Start Maternity Grant do you have to send off any forms with it. Eg your tax credit award?

It says on the form to make sure all forms required are enclosed and they are originals but doesnt say what is required!!

I sent in our tax credit award, they posted it back to me about 2 days before I got the letter to say we were entitled...

I got a letter today saying my HIPG will be in the bank within 7 days, did anyone else get a letter?

Nope, it just appeared in the bank...

Congrats Sparkle

and Mrs Moc and vic, great news! I know how scary it was for me bleeding at 11w, I was convinced it was going to be bad news at the scan... And at 13w it was no easier either...

SugarSpun

I think I lurked on the thread till I'd seen a little heartbeat on a screen and then joined. But even after that, once there was some bleeding and the doctor put me on bedrest, it was really helpful to be talking to people about it who weren't RL people - if I'd had to tell my friends that I was accidentally pregnant and possibly miscarrying, it would have been much harder. This way I got the best of both worlds.

Thank you ladies, you were awesome.

Also wonderful news Mrs Moc and vicstar. So sorry to hear of the recent losses. Hugs all around.
