Oh wow, tons of us "tilted uterus gals" I have one too, so does my Mom. Never bothered me much except during my period and when I ovulated - I always had very bad back cramping. But it made it easy to pinpoint ovulation!

Same here I know exactly when I ovulated pain was worse than AF pain.

Sequeena thinking of you keeping fingers crossed let us all know asap x x

Mark&Annie sorry to here about your friends, it is such a shame that some couples suffer over and over. I know how they are feeling. Sending love and hugs.

Tasha Welcome. I hope this pregnancy runs nice and smooth for you. I also get regular scans which are helpful to keep you positive. As well as getting to see your little bean all the time x

As for my peeing problem seems better today...lol Been doing the exercises someone told me to do in 2nd Tri. Seems to be working.....relief.

I have had ENOUGH!!! I spent £12 to get to Bridgend, which makes it £25 in 2 days and I have still not had a fucking scan. I went into gynaecology, didn't get my lady garden poked because of my 'past' (in other words they were scared shit I would go ape). I then asked about the scan, it was the only reason I was there and my doctor STRESSED I needed one. "Sorry, we don't do them in these circumstances" Then what fucking circumstances do you do them in!!!!!!!!

I have rung everyone possible - the birth centre, I spoke to the sister there, I rang my doctor who was only working half day so couldn't get through to him, I rang my midwife who was extremely shocked and angry.

Another doctor from my surgery is now on the case. He said he WILL get me what I need. He said it may take 45 minutes or so because the person he needs to speak to is in theatre but he will have an answer for me. He said I would probably have to go through to singleton and when I said I really could not afford anything else he said not to worry he will arrange me an ambulance. YES!!! He then asked me how I felt and said any changes I'm to ring him back immediately.

I get the feeling that whoever has fucked up is going to get kicked in the genitals. I have been refused scans by 3 hospitals in 2 days. I have spoken to doctors, consultants, midwives and sisters. I don't know what else to do. I can't carry on like this

 

[sunshinegirl]

Sequeena unbeleivable I cant believe they are treating you that way. Of course you need a scan how else are they going to determine where the bleed is coming from and to check baba is ok. AAHHHHH!!!!!

 

[sequeena]

I'm being treated as though I'm under 12 weeks. I know lots of girls have had similar treatment at that point but I'm in the second trimester ffs!!!

 

[Kylarsmom]

Omg sooooo horrible! they better get their butts in gear!!

 

[Kylarsmom]

even so, if you are pregnant and bleeding they need to determine why, or at least make sure baby is ok, even if it was 1st tri! that is so cruel!

 

[Tasha]

sequeena, I am so sorry, you know what I would do is go over people's heads, when you book in you get your consultant put on your notes, go via the hospital switchboard to ring his secetary for an appointment. Sometimes we must make noise to get notice, or demands to get the care we both need and deserve.

Hi girls, can I join?

Wow, you've had quite a tough time Tasha You're more than welcome here

If you don't mind me asking, was Honey full term? & are you past the stage at which you had your previous miscarriages?

Really hope this pregnancy runs smoothly Xx

Thank you. Honey was born at 36 weeks and 6 days, our induction was booked for the next day at 37 weeks, so as close to full term I could of got.

I am now past the stage of my miscarriages, thanks to progesterone, aspirin and clexane.

I hope yours does too.

How are you?

 

[Mark&Annie]

[Kylarsmom]

annie! woot woot! 2 boys for both of us!!!!!

 

[Mark&Annie]

I know!!! I love the idea of two boys so close in age, you could never play cowboys or trains properly with a sister really could you?! Really happy, can't wait to see what he looks like!

 

[Kylarsmom]

this is very true!! So did you just play around with your scan pics to find it or did you get another scan??

 

[Leann83]

Hi everyone! Had booking appointment today and got 12 week scan which I didn't know we were getting Baby was relaxing with little fists over head and legs crossed... at one point looked straight out and looked like he/she was waving with lil hand up in the air... loved it! Could see little eyes and all.. pic attached so nice unexpected surprise!! Hope everyone's doing well!!

 

[Mark&Annie]

I work as a veterinary nurse, and have been using the ultrasound machine here at work while on night shift! Its nice to see baby moving about and say hi!

 

[Kylarsmom]

oh ok! I remember you saying you were a vet nurse, but didnt think about them have ultrasound equipment! COOL! Anyone else have super dry skin! I mean like ridiculously dry skin!? Ugh it's driving me insane!!

Congrats on the scan Leann, what a nice surprise!!!

 

[Vivienne]

HI all.
Had my appt with Obgyn at high risk clinic today, and he said he really thought I didn't need to be there as everything seemed fine! NT was 1.8mm, still waiting for blood test results though.
I too have a retro ute which may right itself after preg or stay that way, but I was told it doesn't interfere much with anything. I also apparently have a fibroid on the right but that also seems to be behaving apart from the odd twinge.
ALso picked up a new job just on a casual basis but I feel excited to be in the workforce again.
Next scan for me is at 18 weeks for anomaly and gender.

 

[vespersonicca]

Congrats to you all! I am an August 2010 mommy! How the time does fly...

 

[BattyNora]

I think if I worked anywhere near an ultrasound machine I'd get fired so quickly as I wouldn't get off the thing!!!

 

[abs07]

Yay! Such exciting news!!

Annie - congrats on the lil boy!

Leann - adorable scan pic!

Vespersonicca - your little one is adorable and I love the name Asher!

I have an appt on 3/3 and I'm really crossing my fingers that they will do an ultrasound and I can find out the gender. I'll be 17 weeks so hopefully they will!!!
