Pregnancies bring such sadness/worry/joy don't they? Congratulations to all who are anticipating new arrivals - there's nothing quite like holding that baby grandchild - or even great grandchild. flowers

Greatnan Thu 29-Aug-13 20:16:56

Congratulations all round. I have just been told by my grand-daughter that I will be having a fifth great-grandchild in Spring! That will make 17 direct descendants - don't tell the 'big family' police!

Congratulations MrsM, that's wonderful news smile flowers wine

What lovely news. You must be so pleased, it is hard when your daughter loses a child or struggles to get pregnant.

Keep us up to date and I hope all goes very smoothly from now on. flowers

MrsM Thu 29-Aug-13 19:45:23

Excuse me reanimating a zombie thread but - Woo Hoo
Nearly 2 years later, 2 further losses and a deal of medical intervention ... fingers crossed, the new grandchild will be here in spring
wine
The 12 week threshold has passed, so we're into a 'normal' pregnancy with no higher than 'normal' risks

Beware - I may become a regular poster. I'm certainly a happy one now

Sometimes we forget the men folk - maternity is such a female thing but dads - to-be/Grand-dads -to-be are devastated too, often surprised by the intensity of their own feelings.
One thing that I have realised only latterly, is how losing our first baby and therefore first grandchild for my parents and parents-in-law affected them. I was so wrapped up in my own loss that I didn't think of them, but now know how bad I would feel. thanks to you all.
