A month today you went to sleep, I would give anything to hold your hand walking down the street, to push you down the slide, tuck you in bed and read your favourite book, the point where I now know it off by heart, to chase after you on the hobby horse whilst you run around shouting 'ye hah' , to have our late night cuddles on the couch with our blankets til we fall asleep together. I've lost my best friend, my purpose in life, my world.

Losing hope for our rainbow

So I'm 5 weeks and 3 days pregnant. I was at work last night and needed to use the the bathroom....tmi...when I looked down the toilet bowl was full of bloody water. When I wiped there was nothing. I've had no pain and more more bleeding since. I went to the er but there wasn't much they could do because I'm so early. They checked my levels (6140) and booked me in for an early scan on Friday. I feel like I've already lost the baby ? I don't know what to do

Best ways to prepare for natural birth, yes anything can happen and I may not get what I want but I also dont focus on the negative (: But should I watch videos if so recommendations? Book recommendations? Like I'm so nervous of labor in general and instead of stressing I'd love to learn about it to make me stress less! Lol
