They won't be able to do that until after the birth, when they can check the DNA yoof!  ??

Hey guys, after not going to sleep until half 3 this morning due to all sorts of things running through my brain we went for the scan this morning at 8, after a little bit of a wait we were seen to be told that the baby was absolutely fine, had a heartbeat, 2 legs, 2 arms, was exactly where he/she should be and they didn’t know what caused the bleeding but there was nothing to suggest it was to do with the baby. 
Move been absolutely petrified of the worst over the last couple of days but being told that was genuinely the best thing to ever happen to me. Over the moon ? not much to look at just yet as it’s only been cooking for 9 weeks 2 days but here they are! ?

Hey don’t worry, I’m double clicking too on my iPad but not my iPhone.
Best thing is, this iPad used to belong to the gaffer.
He seems not to believe me, “ cus it was alright when I had it “
sigh.

Sorry for lack of replies to other people who have quoted me, a few days  ago my fiancée rang me at work to say she was bleeding, we have an emergency scan booked in for Friday (how the duck it can be an emergency and wait 5 days from booking is beyond me) but it’s not looking great, either way I’m sure I’ll get to be a ‘proper’ dad one day. I love my stepdaughter to the end of the earth but to be able to say ‘I made him/her’ is all I’ve ever wanted. I wasn’t sure whether to post this in here or the depression thread but the not knowing until Friday is properly killing me. Either way I just want to know for closure if nothing else. 

I suppose there's a possibility I might be remembering it wrong.

Very naughty of me I know, but I tend to overtake them, then shoot straight over (dare I say "swerve"!) from lane 3 to 1, no indicating nor nuffink, in the hope it's a massive hint... it rarely is though, and like you say, they just continue to tootle along in lane 2, knowing full well that they will eventually overtake that lorry... a mile ahead... in a good 5 minutes or so!  
 
EDIT:
One thing I've noticed having done the best part of 10,000 miles on French Autoroutes now, is that the vast majority are very good at pulling back over to lane one, once the overtake is complete.  They get a bad rep, but from what I have witnessed, it is much more polite and civil over there... on the motorways, at least!

Could be @Mrs Cone trying to get home from Spoons?

You may want to try Brum. Many wounded were treated there and I would guess PTSD etc would be on the skills list

Thanks @Anag Ram.  Appreciate that.
Looks like he is going to go for this, when he returns to Cornwall.  They have a charity branch of the NHS down there, which specifically deals with ex service personnel/war veterans, and we're hearing positive things.  (It's just bog standard NHS up here in Derby, with no specific expertise in combat-related PTSD, apparently?).
Other stuff to sort first though... not least getting him through this coming weekend of course, which is never an easy time for these guys and gals, who lost a mate or several in battle... of any generation, of course!  
Thanks again for your positive feedback.  Good to hear.   ?

Anyone got any knowledge, experience and/or comments regarding EMDR therapy?
Currently looking at possibly going down that route for my son, as he's recently had a set back.
In brief, it relates to "Battle related PTSD" and his stints (more so the second stint) in Afghanistan in 2012.  (I won't go into detail if you don't mind.  I'd struggle to type it, and it most certainly ain't for the pages of a public forum anyway!)
He kept his troubles totally to himself for over 4 years, until Dec. 2016, when it all kicked off!  He's since had help via the MOD, including CBT and meds.  After being "On the sick", he was officially signed off from the forces about 18 months ago, and has since been living what appeared to be the life of Reilly on Civvy Street in Cornwall, firstly at a boat building college, and for the past 6 months, actual boat building (Ye Olde Kraftesman Stylee), which is a job he is absolutely loving.  (His time in Cornwall has seen the continuation of the meds, but no further therapy... other than what they taught him to do himself).
Unfortunately though, he's been slipping backwards recently, (unknown to us... again, despite weekly Face-Time's!) until he finally called us for help a week ago, whereupon we went straight down there to bring him home, and mop his brow!  We spent all last week talking to various NHS departments (Now he's a civvy!), and they are now advising this EMDR treatment.  Obviously we'll do some research and talk more with various  experts, but if any of you guys and gals have anything to add... positive or otherwise... I'll be all ears!
For the record, he's calmer than he was a week ago, but still far from ok.  We've seen him worse, but want him better.  Even in their mid-thirties, we parents never stop worrying, do we!  
 
On the plus side, his employer has spoken to him (during this past week) and his job is to be kept open for him indefinitely, or  "until he says he ain't going back".  That's a massive positive, as of course he wants to go back... if he can find a way to cope with everything else!
Not so much on the plus side, me and his elder brother will be accompanying him to the match on Wednesday, for his first game since Wembley, "in an attempt to cheer him up a bit"!     Oh bugger!  
Cheers.

Just want to make a quick point whilst i think about it because i believe this to be VERY important.
Yesterday, looking back at my activity on the forum i was probably at my wittiest (if i do say so myself) and seemingly happiest.
This couldn't be further from the truth.
I spent most of the day waiting on a phone call from my Mum as my Grandma was in hospital getting results from some tests. All day i was in another world with worry. This forum, in particular the Paddy Padster thread was a huge outlet for me in which i genuinely enjoyed in the midst of worry.
There isn't a particularly happy ending to the day either as it seems the results showed cancer. The rest of the day was a blur of giving support and trying to process the news for myself.
 
I suppose the message is... You really don't know what is going on at the other side of peoples computer screens, so try and be nice to each other.
 
Also, i suppose i should offer a bit of thanks to @David . For giving us this outlet. However, i must stress, this is the only thing you're good for.

crawl away hahahaha made me laugh

I strongly suspect that explains the "previous" bit!  Did they actually give a reason, or did they just crawl away, never to be seen again?

Very naughty of me I know, but I tend to overtake them, then shoot straight over (dare I say "swerve"!) from lane 3 to 1, no indicating nor nuffink, in the hope it's a massive hint... it rarely is though, and like you say, they just continue to tootle along in lane 2, knowing full well that they will eventually overtake that lorry... a mile ahead... in a good 5 minutes or so!
