Kathryn wrote >>> Mandy!! a pumpkin seed??? I didn't know.! > Congratulations!! (I feel a little envious)<< Wow 10 out of 10 for observation Kathryn and thanks for the congratulations!! :-) I'd only put it there yesterday and prior to that only two folk knew (Karen and Deanna).Shows who reads signature lines and who doesn't LOL.I was debating on what to say and how to say it cause I know that news of a pregnancy is never going to be easy when we have a steady flow of newly bereaved parents.The last thing I wanted when I joined Wings was to read that someone was announcing a new pregnancy.. I have just got back from my first appointment ( only with my GP)and things seemed to be going well with the general question /answer session like do you feel sick? and then we got to the how many pregnancies have you had prior to this one and he quickly changed everything and suddenly I'm on high risk/extra care (knew I would be )and of great interest to the medical profession LOL.I moved 100 miles since my last pregnancy so new doctor and new health authority.....they haven't met one like me before ;-)))))). The Doctor is now contacting the midwife and a consultant in gyn/obs and will call me as soon as he knows what he is meant to do.I really don't want to be a special case,don't want any invasive testing and just want to enjoy my pregnancy as much as I can for as long as I can(I have serious doubts as to if I will go to term but am trying not to think about it too much). Guess this could mean a bigger bouquet for my wedding to hide the bump...anything like my trisomy pregnancy and I'll need a whole forest in front of me. hugs Mandy, mum to Matthew(10),Charlotte (9) and my two angels Gareth (t18 ^i^ 14/11/99)and Dominic (CH ^i^ 23/7/00) and my little pumpkin seed EDD 19 Apr 2004,England,UK http://www.geocities.com/baby2angels2000 Some stop chasing rainbows,for they think they aren't real, But they aren't something you can touch,they're something you must feel..."
