    Rubbish if I am honest. Instead of taking sick leave from work I opted to just carry on.

    Been back to work today and my first visit was a Mum who of course is pregnant with her 3rd, 12 weeks due in February. It took all my might and strengh through the appointment NOT to cry. I felt myself slipping at points espeically as she spoke of it a lot but I got through enough to then go back to my desk and gather myself.

    I have to say, if I can get through that. I can get through anything. It was the hardest half hour of my life to date.

    I hope your all having a better day than me!!

    Aww sorry to hear that Samtoby, it must have been hard. (((((Hugs))))

    I'm feeling a bit weird, as the few pg symptoms I did have, returned with a vengeance on Friday night. I had ewcm from Saturday, so maybe the hormones of ov are making them come back again? It has been quite surprising and upsetting, tbh.

    Yesterday should have been my booking in appointment so that was a bit sad :(

    But today is my wedding anniversary and we are going out for a nice dinner :j So something to look forward to.

  • I find it really hard that a friend on Facebook who is due around the same time I would have been due has one of those 'baby apps' where it posts weekly updates on how far she is, how big the baby is etc. think ill have to hide her :(

    Hugs FF, I've hidden quite a few people on fb for things like that. Just not what you need shoved in your face is it?! I recently un-hid one 'friend' but all she ever posts is how her son is annoying her, how she's fed up at not going out, etc. He's only a few months old and an adorable little thing, feel quite sorry for him :( Also, she's nearly 30, married, teacher.... it's not like she's some 15 year old that has had her social life stopped by an unexpected baby!

    We are off on holiday on Saturday. To the same place and hotel where our last baby was conceived 2 years ago but lost early. We weren't able to conceive again and now at 45 time has run out :(. Am feeling sad for what might have been this week.

    Hello there.
    I thought I was doing ok. I've been back at work 3 weeks now, it's been fine (I work mainly with men so less likely to hear pregnancy announcements), I've seen my friends with babies and had a cuddle and just generally felt like I was coping well. Not moving on because I think I'll never truly get over losing my boys, but surviving and rebuilding life.
    But this morning I saw one of the mums from nursery, her daughter is a couple of months older than my LO and has been there all the time we have (so I've "known" her 2.5 years). She's clearly pregnant (I'd guess at 5 months ish) and it seems to have really hit me hard. I have no idea why, but I feel really sad.
    I'm sure I'll get over it, but just wanted to share as otherwise I'll go mad!

    Hope you're all ok.
  • Hugs to everyone xx I'm still struggling after my 3rd one and keep thinking how many weeks I shouldhbe :-( ...... !we are thinking of trying again but as the results told us it was all ok ie not recognised condition mI'm so scared :'(:'(:'( and dont want to get to stressed as that will make it worse ...any advice ladies ?

    Hi to foft, try I'm giving you positive vibes. I wish you the best. My OH has said he doesn't want to try again due to my "health". I think it's broken my heart, if I'm honest which I feel I can maybe be honest here. Just so much has gone on this year and he's older than me. Maybe 2013 is unlucky for me, depression is getting the better just now. I wish you the best take care.
