Can you ever be ready for a baby?
Before you get pregnant, you might have all the boxes ticked, or you could be the 'let's just see what happens' type. No matter what your style, it can help to think about the emotional aspects of parenthood.

So today we went for our 12 week ultrasound...
This whole pregnancy I have had the thought running through my head, "What will be will be", it is kind of like I knew. We received bad news at the scan that our bub had stopped growing at around 8 weeks, I wasn't aware of this happening as the usual symptoms of mc hadn't appeared yet I have had no cramping or bleeding - except it started very lightly this morning, my heart dropped, I knew. I am annoyed that my body didn't do what it should have done and thought that it was pregnant all this time when in fact our much wanted bubby was gone. I am keeping strong in front of my other kids but inside my head is racing and my heart of breaking. I suppose I don't really need any advice or anything but just need to come to grips that this has happened and maybe typing it out will do that for me.
