Thanks to everyone that replied to my thread about being a "old/young" Dad on the other site, I couldn't get back on for some reason to post and it wouldn't let me register again! As some of you know Kell and I lost our baby on this day a year ago at 16 weeks and Kell had to do one of the most heart breaking things I've ever seen in my life and give birth to it. Well a couple of weeks ago we went for ,the 12 week scan and everything was fine in fact the baby was really active, on Monday we had to go and see our consultant, obviously we were both extremely worried even more so when he asked us if we'd had a scan that morning to which we hadn't. So off we went for the scan, I have never been so nervous and scared, the consultant did his thing and there on the screen was our baby, heart fluttering away and moving about! The relief for us both was immense! Still a way to go but everything is looking good.

Congrats WestMids! We went through something very similar in 2012 and it was and still is a truly heartbreaking time.

I'm pleased to say we now have two beautiful girls and I'm sure only happy times will be with you and your wife from this day on too!!

Best of luck!!

Good luck WestMids - my second is on it's way in May -UTC

Thanks burnmark it really is a harrowing experience, glad you came out the other side with a happy ending! And good luck to you too Belgian.

We have everything crossed for you WestMidsClaret. The very best of luck.

Congrats and all the very best luck in the world to you both.

Good luck WestMids, hope you all stay safe..

Thanks chaps, very kind of you.

Only good thoughts for all three of you westmids.

Thanks minnie

Good luck WestMids

Glad to hear all is going well so far WMC and hope that continues to be the case. We recently lost what would have been our 2nd child during pregnancy and the only saving grace we could find was that it happened relatively early in the pregnancy so we didn't have to go through having to give birth like yourselves and several others we know have.

I know we will both be terrified should we ever find out we are expecting again but I am certain it will not stop us.

Good luck to you all

Only just seen this thread - hope everything goes well for you this time

Thanks Future and Tony.

Good luck westmids!

Good luck!!!

Cheers boys.

Got to go for a scan because the midwife couldn't find a heart beat! Wish us luck. So frustrating and upsetting!

Good luck. Hope everything is OK.

Good luck Westmids

Thanks. We got an emergency appointment at the hospital and after 5 minutes of trying the sister their found the baby's heartbeat. Phew!

This is my angel now 10 months old, fully worth the stress!
The missus has just said she wants another!! I'll be in my 40s

Wonderful West Mids - there is nothing quite so precious.

Enjoy her to the full, they don't stay that age for long.

Thanks funky. The little blighter is running circles around me!! We named her Rivver Rose. Thanks again to everyone who offered support and wrote kind words.

You need to get her a hat, mine keeps stealing my Burnley hat all the time.

So pleased for you, WestMids. Such a little beauty.

Thank you Mrs Spades.

Absolutely thrilled for all 3 of you. Happy days.

West Mids, you'll be fine. I was 41 when my son was born. He'll be 22 in a couple of months and as he is a strapping 6ft 3ins comes in handy when I foolishly decide to do a bit of DIY. He doesn't run out of steam as quickly as I do.
