All bagged up and time to move on?

By Hannah Brewer on February 20th, 2013

Today has been oh so hard – harder than I had ever thought it could be

Forgive me if I am awfully self indulgent but I need to write this down – perspective and a stiff upper lip are something I am planning on doing again tomorrow

A happy (or perhaps with hindsight unhappy) [...]

Little green monster

By Hannah Brewer on February 6th, 2013

One of the hardest parts of not having managed to have a happy ending to the Baby3 quest is the way it has changed me

I REALLY want to be unconditionally happy for friends who have got pregnant, especially those having a third baby, but I am slightly ashamed to admit that often it [...]

Actually that isn’t quite the right word – hang on a second whilst I check a thesaurus – it is scared but with dread and worry overlaid and the odd feeling of doubt. So we’ll go with worried for the moment

I’m worried about going into hospital on Thursday – worried that when given the [...]

25 things that probably won’t get you pregnant

By Hannah Brewer on September 26th, 2012

Sorry but a comment got stuck in my spam filter and has given me The Rage – someone telling me to go to their website to give myself the best chance of having a baby… you know what, after 2 years trying to conceive this one and all the time we took to conceive [...]

Edging closer to some answers?

By Hannah Brewer on September 13th, 2012

Typical good news / bad news day today

Good news is that the doctors think they may have identified something that could be interfering with the baby making processes – there’s some funny looking patches in my womb and they’d like to know what they are

Bad news is that it means that I [...]

Apologies in advance but this needs saying

By Hannah Brewer on September 3rd, 2012

I am sick, sick, sick of reading miscarriage stories that end the same way – oh I had a MISCARRIAGE and it was AWFUL but I’m now pregnant really soon afterwards and whilst I was terribly worried I might MISCARRY again actually it is all going / has gone swimmingly and I have a [...]

Hope and no hope

By Hannah Brewer on July 21st, 2012

I haven’t been around much recently – not wanting to post just in case I jinxed something and just desperately hoping that there was something to jinx

Turns out there wasn’t

Hey ho

And hope quite frankly was an entire waste of time – I’ve denied myself things for absolutely no [...]

Unexplained infertility

By Hannah Brewer on June 27th, 2012

When I think of the journey we’ve been on the last 18 months I don’t think about infertility – we’re not infertile, we have two lovely girls already, this is just a bit of a bump in the road

It was a bit of a shock when the consultant this week took our history [...]

Dragging myself out of the rut

By Hannah Brewer on May 10th, 2012

I guess the good news is that I have realised that I am in an rut – it’s taken long enough for that to happen but the reality is that I am firmly stuck in here and I need to get myself out.

My life feels as if it has rather been on [...]

On again, off again

By Hannah Brewer on May 5th, 2012

For a short while this week life changed.

For a short but wonderful time I was pregnant again – able to dream about how our family was going to grow, to dream about moving on from the hiatus of this last year and to count my blessings.

Sadly it didn’t last – [...]
