Good, Bad and some rather shocking news from me today.

[Mum23boys]

Thanks Pearl I hope so too. Im trying to stay positive but I am fully prepared for bad news and i have promised that ill not let it ruin cristmas as thats for the babies i already have and i wont get this time back again - i just feel i need to know but i also know that 6 days might not make that much difference and she may agree that waiting another 2 weeks is my best option in which case ill feel happier doing it having had 2 people suggest it. My thinking on the NHS saying come back on Jan 4th is not to give bubs a chance to develop but because from 24th dec - jan 2nd they are on bank staff and so dont book apointments where as jan 2nd they are probably back up to full staff.

Hi mum. Good luck with Mon scan. I wouldn't worry too much about NHS staffing, I'm booked for an NHS one on 27th December and they said I could even have 24th if I wanted but I went for 27th and I could have had 28th if I'd wanted as well. So maybe they think it will be more accurate for you later so you get better info. But I know if I were in your shoes I'd want the earliest scan I could get. Hope it goes well for you.

thanks justjessica im off for my private scan in about half hour as appointment in an hour an its a half hour drive.... ill let you know how it goes and also i have my NHS scan on the 4th jan too so long as no major changes today that warrant it being cancelled

Right guys on my wAy back and Like sunflower the baby's have done a flip over. The big sac with fetid but no heartbeat has now grown and developed to 13.8 mm foetus with a lovely heartbeat making me 7+5 1 day over my date by ovulation so pretty accurate while the s that was in the small sac that has a hb now has no hb and only measures 3.6mm so by next scan will probably have gone.

how do you feel about this news mum?

[Mum23boys]

Gutted but soooooo pleased we have 1 healthy baby. Hubby is chuffed as he was really worrying about twins. We only ever went into this wanting 1 more so i am thank full we are atleast getting that - I just bet my bottom dollar it was our dd we lost and we are having our 4th son but u know what after the events of the last week i really dont care right now am just keeping everything crossed he / she makes it through the next 4 weeks until the 12 week scan.

Mum, I can only imagine how conflicted you must feel right now. Celebrating the one healthy baby you've got on the way, mourning his/her twin who won't be joining you afterall. Congratulations and my sympathy all at once, I'm glad that you won't be leaving this journey empty-handed. Enjoy every single minute of Christmas, I think you got at least one truly amazing gift. I've been thinking of ya.

[Mum23boys]

Thank you Jadis thats really lovely of you.

I am both happy and sad for you. A loss is heartbreaking, but new life is such a joy. I realize this must be so bittersweet. Bless you and I hope your baby remains healthy and strong.
