So pleased for you Vic! Please take things easy xxx

I'm struggling to eat this week really lost my appetite but if I don't eat the heartburn/ acid reflux starts I just don't fancy eating anything in particular

Thank you ladies :j I loved doing it soooo much My friend is going to let me paint her again on Monday too. I have got 3 confirmed bookings and another strong possible since posting the piccie on my facepainting profile last night :T:T:T So I am hopeful to start a new craze fluffysox :rotfl: My brother asked me if I invented bump painting today :rotfl: I wish I did, but its been around for quite a while now and that design came from a tutorial from an amazing facepainter (my idol! I am such a facepainting geek!) :rotfl:

Kscarlett - I think its completely normal for the movements to be few and far between at this stage. I've hardly felt anything today or yesterday, but I'm sure this is because I have been so busy and just not noticed it so much. I am mostly not panicking about it Obviously I still have my moments of panick, lol!

Lemon - The stoopid lady who commented on the article who upset me so much said she had had 2 miscarriages herself! So she must have had some idea of grief etc. I would have thought people who had experienced grief would be more sensitive - but apparently not always I know that molar babies never survive, but like you say - it doesn't make the loss any easier. The only slight thing it helped with was by knowing in no way possible it could have been my fault as it was an chromosomal error right from conception.

I understand what you mean about the new generation thing. My granddad died at Christmas, and I was sad he never got to hear my good news as he was upset when he found out about my loss. But when I told my grandma my news, and showed her the scan, she was emotional and I think it helped her a little. If we have a boy then we are going to have the middle name as my granddads Hope the funeral goes ok and that the dresses are ok for you x

Awww, yay for your scan fluffy! Sounds super cute

And yayyyyyyyy for the scan being all ok Vic - so pleased for you x

great news Vic, I bet it was nice seeing barby again. I remember feeling relieved everytime I saw a heart beating on the 20 week scan! I'm such a worrier.

fantastic bump painting Abis, I'd love to have that done.

Forgot to say you bump painting is awesome abi!

Is anyone watching This Morning? They have some sisters on who breastfeed each others babies. They have also done it for a friend. Trying to get my head around it but it freaks me out a bit!

I'm not sure about feeding someone else's baby as its quite a personal thing, but I have donated loads of my breast milk. I built up a large freezer stash, but my DD dropped to 2 feeds and I was able to give her enough from feeding and expressing so I advertised it and ended up donating it to a lady who couldn't produce enough as her daughter was tongue tie and was lactose intolerant.

I told my brother and he thought it was gross :rotfl:

Not if she was having breast milk she wasn't! ALL milk contains lactose it is what makes it milk!
