There was a thread that descended into my mental anguish about the trials and tribulations of IVF.
We’ve had our third round of IVF. During the second round, a frozen transfer, I was at sea. The subsequent miscarriage happened whilst I was going across the ocean. I had a commentary of said miscarriage over WhatsApp.
MrsN is now 12 weeks pregnant. We have told Seb today. When his Mum called him to say goodnight he said “I’ve got some news for you, I’m going to be a brother”.
I had already told the ex wife, not long before admittedly.
Anyway, Seb is excited, MrsN is suffering the usually pregnancy symptoms, plus the extra anxiety of miscarriages, being a midwife she has an in-depth knowledge of what can go wrong, and what has gone wrong with the previous attempts.
So, stressful. But, I am just putting my big boy pants on and carrying on. MrsN wants something, she gets it, I’m doing my dad stuff with Seb and keeping him active physically, and mentally with some schoolwork, and I am doing everything I can to prepare for what’s ahead.
We disagree on baby names. But otherwise MrsN is a wonderful step mother to Seb, and she’s going to be a wonderful mother to ours.
MrsN over analyses what happens. She’s previously said about the last IVF attempts “if only I had spoke up and said I wanted this way”... it just so happens to be the way that it went this time. We went in with the attitude of “we are paying, MrsN is a midwife and knows what she’s talking about, we want it this way”.
It worked. One of them is showing a bit smaller than other. Which is worrying MrsN. She’s convinced she will lose one. I, however, am going with the mindless optimism approach of everything is going to be alright. She’s been checking the measurements, checked the placentas at scans, she has been analysing from every angle.
Twins. This is going to be fun.
MrsN’s mother has said it must come from my side of the family. We haven’t told her about the IVF.
Whatever any of you are going through right now, there is always hope. If anyone needs an ear to vent to, or whatever.
I’m here. |  |

Congrats NB!
I know it sounds glib, but at the moment, this lockdown is probably for the best for you, Seb and Mrs NB - I guess the last thing you'd want is to be away during the next few months and I'm sure all of us are wishing for the best of outcomes!! |  |

Heading from Malaysia up to do a Chinese coast, back to Malaysia and Singapore, and then across to West Africa for fun with Nigerian pirates.
Should be a quiet trip... can’t foresee possible issues! | |

The NHS deserve the applause. All of the NHS. Not just the doctors and nurses, but the midwives, porters, HCAs, and cleaners. Clerks and and catering.
They deserve so much more than we can give them. | |
