Aha yay for aubergine!! Although I'm sure that stays for about 4 weeks lol!

 

[cupcake1981]

Yeah mrs d! Wonder how long ill be an aubergine did now lol!

Would be lovely for you bailey, hope you get some nice weather it's a much nicer place in the sun!

 

[MrsDuck]

I've just been applying the soltan once 40+ stuff in the morning and hope that does the job. I've come to the conclusion what will be will be, so not being too paranoid about it, just not being silly and sitting in it. It's alien to me not sunbathing though haha

I'm sure you'll love it, time together just the 3 of you

 

[SATH]

What's all this talk of afternoon tea I've been missing ... yummy! Had a lovely walk down to the park along the river we even made it past the pub and up the hill home. Such a nice evening.

Bailey sounds like some fun shopping is it funny going back to regular clothes with loads of options?

Mrs d hope u had nice walk round the harbour that sounds bliss.

Cupcake what a lovely day bet your shattered. Haven't been to London for ages.

Just had amusing disaster. I'm v protective mummy of 2 furbabies who get locked in every night so it's always my job lift the litter box to cover catflap they never use but just in case. Oops picked it up bottom fell off cat litter all over slate tiled kitchen floor my oh laughing his head off while I'm sweeping it all up. Guess who's mopping the floor in the morning!

Can you believe how insensitive drs can be mine told me they will refer me in Oct as that's when we started trying again after 2nd loss.

 

[baileybubs]

I can't believe your doctor said that! Sometimes I think that healthcare professionals can be so insensitive and uncaring when it comes to loss in pregnancy. I just don't think they realise how much it affects you.
Glad you had a nice walk though Sath! Poor you having to sweep up the cat litter!! I had the fun job of picking up the dog poop from the garden this afternoon (can't use the excuse of being pregnant for not doing it anymore!!)

It is nice to wear jeans again Sath, although now I do have to cover up my overhanging belly these days!

Mrs d that's a goo attitude to have, it could drive you crazy if you thought about these things too much couldn't it and could become a recluse or something!!

 

[SATH]

Ah but look at that beautiful little reason for the overhanging belly! It's early days be kind to yourself.

I've almost spoken to one of the consultants I work for about my experience he'd be supportive but no-one at work knows and I know I'd breakdown.

 

[baileybubs]

Aw yeah that's true, they always say how stretch marks are a mummy's stripes don't they, well my overhanging belly is like that too! She was worth all of it that's for sure. So much so that I can't wait til we can have another lol!

I think I was a bit of an anomaly when it came to talking about my mmc. I used to talk about it all the time to anyone who'd listen. But I completely understand why most people can't discuss it.

 

[SATH]

I love that saying mummy stripes it's so cute. If it makes you feel better I have a muffin top and its all muffin I've lost 15 lbs since Easter so it's shrinking slowly.

I told a few close friends and family they never mention it now it's just like they never happened to them. My oh doesn't like talking about it so it's a relief to be able to write about the mcs.

Mrs d have fun working on your boat bet you can't wait to take her out.

 

[baileybubs]

Wow 15lbs since Easter that's amazing Sath well done!!

Sadly I know a lot of people who have had mc's, I work in care it's mainly female and there were at least 5 people who had also been through it so I was really lucky to have those people to talk to.
My df didn't talk much about it though.

 

[AmyB1978]

Bailey, yay for shopping and getting nice things for yourself! I agree with everybody else, apply for the job and if you are offered it then make the decision. Your DF's boss... Wow!

MrsD, keeping everything crossed for you that the scan is all clear and you can get back to ttc! After all you've been through, and so stoically, you deserve a clear scan and fast BFP!

Cupcake, sure glad you came on again, so I would know LBCC is an eggplant as I had no idea what an auber..whatever it was is! so glad you had a nice tea... A good way to end your work week off!

Sath, hopefully your GP will help you out, the medical field can be so insensitive! Glad you had a nice walk, sorry to hear about the litter... Cat litter is such a mess anyhow! Our cat is in all the time and makes a grand mess of things. You can always talk to us about the mc, it helps to have somewhere to vent it and we've all been there and get how painful it is.

I do work tomorrow, just wanting it to come and be gone, I hate leaving her so much! At least it gives her Daddy time, gets me out, and brings in a little money. We have to talk about what we are doing after we get back from vacation regarding me working. We agreed to not do anything else until at least then. I am dreading the conversation because I am so not wanting to leave her, I think I might wait for DH to bring it up.

Emily is good, changing so much, she's sleeping out of a swaddle now which has been an adjustment but is, overall, going well. She has what I think is an abnormality at the base of her back/top of her buttocks. I had the dr look at it when I first noticed it and she said it was fine but I was still concerned so waited until the next appointment, which was 2 months later and last week. She again looked at it and said it seems fine but it doesn't sit right with me and seems off. I also don't know how,well,she looked at it or how well I communicated what I am concerned about. I want to,take Emily for a 2nd opinion, especially as my DH's sister had spina bifida and passed away from a surgery related to it as a child. DH kinda got,mad at me for wanting a 2nd opinion and said I need to trust Emily's dr or find a new one, he also,seems to think it is ok to wait another two months until her next well baby visit to have it looked at again, I don't think I want to,wait that long but don't know what to do... If we should wait, take her back to her dr sooner and really make sure it is looked at and maybe demand an ultrasound or have her really explain to me why it's ok, or try to take her elsewhere and if we do that I don't know if we would take her to just another pediatrician or to a specialist... If a specialist I don't know what kind. We have private insurance so can do whatever we like, really, I just don't know what is right. I don't want to be a paranoid Mom but I also don't want to be told down the road that there is a issue and that she could have been better off if it was caught earlier. I've tried not to google but have some and depending what it might be it could,require surgery and the earlier it is done the better the outcome... But it could be nothing... I dunno and it doesn't help that DH seems to think I am being crazy, though I've never shown him what worries me...( any advice?

Sorry for the selfish rant...

 

[SATH]

Hey Amy, Emily looks beautiful sounds like you have adapted really well to being a new mama. I say follow your mama gut if you think something isn't quite right I'd get her checked out again maybe try a different doctor and write down your concerns that way you don't forget everything when you get in there. Don't blame you for not wanting to leave Emily she is still so little and changing everyday enjoy your vacation and see if your hubby brings it up I reckon. I think think its much harder working in the US than in UK from what I've seen people seem to go back to work so quick after babies at my work most people have a year off doubt I would get that long but hopefully 7 months or so.

Thanks for your support so great to see all new mums and pretty ladies gives me hope.

 

[baileybubs]

Morning ladies,

I agree with Sath Amy, go with your instinct. You are her mama and you know her better than anyone, it's not being paranoid it's looking out for your daughter. And if anyone tells you differently just tell them to shove it lol!!
What kind of anomaly is it?

Glad we can give you hope Sath. I know it's been a lot easier for me to fall pregnant and have my rainbow baby after my mc but I know that I couldn't have done it without the ladies here.

Have you ladies got any nice plans for today?

I've decided to stop taking the cerazette (mini pill). It's day 15 of bleeding now and it's not light anymore either! Plus I have the urge to cry hysterically almost every day and am feeling irrationally angry so I want to see if those feelings go away if I stop the cerazette or if they are more untoward feelings related to being post partum.
I was laughing with df last night saying that as a contraception cerazette works 100% for me coz we can't actually have sex lol

 

[AmyB1978]

Bailey, with the 100% effective! Hopefully going off of it helps!

The abnormality, or what I think is, is her bum crack seems to continue as a red maybe crooked? Line past her buttocks. She also has what I think is a little indentation or dimple further down and when I feel her it feels like there are two bony bumps there. It could be nothing but I can't shake the worry about it. Maybe I will show DH what I'm worried about, as I never have. It is subtle though so I imagine he will still think I'm nuts!

I just was feeding Emily and she's sleeping on me but I should try and go back to bed now before work.

 

[SATH]

Thats no fun bailey think i'd stop it too. I used to have the injections cos i cant take regular pill and the mini pill made me bleed so maybe give that a go? What are you and Emelia getting up to today. Sunny but windy with me. Im going shopping on the hunt for some sandals or pumps that wont make me bleed walking round madrid.

Have a good sleep amy bet when Emily is asleep like that you just want to sit and watch her. Hope works goes quick for you. Def show dh and see what he thinks.

 

[cupcake1981]

Boo to still bleeding bailey! What other contraception options are there? Are you still going shopping today?

Sath that's rubbish about your docs not helping til October. I hope you get another bfp before then. Have you tried taking soy isoflavins (you've probably heard of it but if not its like a natural clomid you can buy over the counter!). That might help with ovulation?

Amy I agree with the others? You have to be your baby's advocate on these things, you are her mama and must trust your gut. Hope work goes quick for you today hun.

Mrs d are you doing more boat work today? X

 

[MrsDuck]

My you girls have been chatty since last night

Amy we'll stick to calling it an eggplant just for you

Like the others say mummy knows best, I'd go with your gut, if I hadn't got a second opinion on my neck my cancer wouldn't have been detected!
I hope work goes quickly for you today xx

Sath you poor thing with the litter tray but glad you had a lovely walk

Bailey perfect contraception haha
I'd come off it too, I can't believe you are still bleeding xx
I took some inspiration from you this morning and bought some tops to go over leggings and skinny jeans, oh and I bought some new towels for use on the boat, any excuse to shop

Cheryl and cupcake I hope you are having a lovely day in the sunshine

 

[MrsDuck]

Hi cupcake yes I'm trying to put it off but hubby keeps phoning with things to take him and he's just called again wanting food too so I'd better go

Have a lovely day ladies, catch up later

 

[CherylC3]
