PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

[Hope39]

Feet are up, PJ's on and OH is cooking tea I want toad in the hole and he refusing to cook it though

 

[Tia30]

He should be cooking you exactly what you like, saying that at least he can cook.

Roast lamb for me today courtesy of my mother, who is also making me spag bol for lunch tom before I head to the hosp. Yum.

Then it will be hospital food

Glad to hear your feet are up Hope.

SweetV - I think it would be worth discussing with them.

And absolutely Tasha, they do need to look after us xx

 

[Hope39]

He is a really good cook tbf and does the majority of the cooking in our house so I can't complain really. I am normally working so he does tea most days

Mum dinners are always the best TIa (apart from OH mum, lol)

Eurgh to hospital food, I suppose it's a case of grin and bare it, it's only 10w!! Only I'm hoping it flies for you

X

 

[Tia30]

Mums dinners are the best.

It won't be long til I'm saying the same to you about hosp food.

thank goodness they have wifi!

 

[SweetV]

Hospital food sucks. The hospital that I was in for bed rest at least had a seperate menu for expecting mothers which tbh shows how bad it is for everybody else.

Mom food is the best. Just wait. In 10-20 years or so somebody will be saying that about your food .

 

[Hope39]

Mine will be saying Dad dinners are the best , lol

Tia and Hope...

Tia, I had OC during my first rainbow pregnancy, and by some miracle of God, I didn't have it during my pregnancy with Oscar. It's torturous, really. Ugh, that itching is relentless. I thought I would rip the soles right off my feet, and the skin right off my hands. I was on the medication, and that did help tremendously.

 

[Tia30]

Wookie - hopefully I'll be lucky too, fingers crossed. Thanks for sharing, good to hear something positive about OC.

That's a nice image SweetV. They just give you the same menu at thr hosp. It's all so tasteless...

The hosp is an hour away from where we love so I'm not sure how often people will pop in.

Hope-hope the spotting goes away for good here and glad your DH is pitching in to help.

AFM-Lines are still darkening but not overly fast so my molar fears are nearly gone. Tuesday's beta will put them to rest completely I think. MS is stronger too so even though I've had one teeny tiny dab of pink or red the last two mornings when I wipe, I'm not worried at all. And I'm finding a very big downside to finding out earlier rather than later...I've known for almost a week that I'm pg again but I'm barely 4 weeks! I feel like I should be closing in on 12!

 

[Oasis717]

Hi ladies, can I join you? I'm 3 weeks 6 days pregnant straight after a 6 week loss last month, I've had 6 losses at nearly 13 weeks, 11 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 CP's. I'm trying to be positive but its so hard as I have few symptoms (as with all my losses compared to my healthy pregnancies) and beige cm started yest so I'm trying not to get ahead of myself, my tests kinda stopped getting darker and took awhile to darken last month and seem OK ATM but I know that could change xxx

 

[Hope39]

Welcome Oasis , fingers crossed your little one sticks

Hi Ladies,

Glad to read of the new bfps on here this week.

Squig - you are in my thoughts, I know how you must be feeling right now. The road to motherhood can be so difficult for some of us.

Tasha/Hope - glad to read things are moving along nicely.

AFM - well I am now 26 weeks pregnant. My bile acids rose out of the normal range last Thursday and baby's movements had slowed so I was admitted. Luckily by morning they had gone back to normal and she was wriggling and kicking me all over. So they let me home until tomorrow when I will be admitted back to hospital for a few weeks.

My doc advises he is reluctant to prescribe me the urso acid if obstetric cholestasis does reoccur, and it is very likely it will as the stats are pretty high for reoccurrence. I am being tested weekly. If they hit 14 I could start the mess if he allows. Laurie died when they were 28 and it was the only abnormal result in all tests. For now I am waiting to see if the itch starts and trying to reduce fat in my diet to see if it helps the liver function. He has agreed to weekly screening but says I really need to go on symptoms more so than screening as they are more of an indication of the disease.

Other than that it is just a waiting game, with each passing week her chances are better as long as they can detect any issues before anything bad happens. He is hoping to get me to 36 weeks but says to keep in mind that it could be 34 weeks or sooner so she may need to spend some time in NICU.

Also having screens for preeclampsia just to keep an eye on that.

Fingers crossed the next 10 weeks fly in and my acid stays low.

Good luck everyone x

I wAs admitted to hospital 2 weeks before I had my rainbow and I enjoyed every minute of it! (Transverse lie)

The food wasn't too bad at all. 3 meals a day brought to my room, no housework, no school run, no washing, just me and my bump. It was wonderful!

Plus the added comfort of being in the best place for my baby. Checked every day, twice a day, really outs your mind at ease.
Becks, big hugs, come back and share with us xx

 

[Oasis717]

Thank you Hope, I really hope so too. Xxx
Lisa its been v painful with Tanya due the same day as my lo would have been its been v hard seeing the updates but hopefully I can come back soon. Hope you're OK miss you all xx

 

[Tia30]

Welcome Oasis, fingers crossed for a sticky bean for you.

Well I've been in and out of hosp throughout so far, and unfortunately can't say I enjoy it. Particularly as it's am hours drive from my friends and family.

I prob wouldn't mind if I had to go there for just 2 weeks before birth, but 10 weeks is a long time, unless of course she's born before 36 weeks, but hopefully she will be ok.

I also hate the ward I'm on as I gave birth to my daugther there and delivering a stillborn baby doesn't leave you with happy memories of the hospital.

But hey ho we'd all go to the moon and back to bring home a baby wouldn't we.

keep resting Hope xx

I am chugging along Tasha. My final milestone is 8+4 next Monday so here's hoping all will be well next Friday and I'll be 9 weeks for the first time since 2009 when I had my little boy.
So many ladies have to be admitted to the hospital.xxx I hope it goes smoothly. Imagine it as a vacation from all work with terrible food but a vacation none the less. I hope this is what you ladies need to bring home those little rainbows.xxx

Afm not feeling much. Still exhausted some days. No symptoms but I've never had any this pregnancy. I didn't have any my first two pregnancies either though. And I have a 8 and 6yr old. Oh to be young and naive. I miss when pregnancy was all cute and fun. I'll probably pay for a private scan next Friday evening as I'll be 9 weeks

I think a 2 week hospital stay would be bareable but a 10w stay feels like a prison sentence

When I was in with isaac the food was pretty awful, gluten free menu for me so there isn't as much choice and I doubt I be lucky enough to get my own room , I should imagine I would be on a ward

The only comfort would be that I am in the best place if something was to go wrong and getting baby checked would put my mind at ease a little but no one can predict an abruption because they just happen

Xx

I be taking my work with me sadly, I'm the bread winner in our household and I would lose all my clients if I couldn't carry on

Don't forget steroids mask pregnancy symptoms hun, I had no symptoms with isaac and no symptoms this pregnancy either . It was only when I came off the steroids Completely at 14w that I had sickness and nausea for about 2 weeks

Make the most of not feeling poorly

Thanks Lisa at least for now my coloured cm and cramping seems to be going away, grateful for any improvement! Xx

Tia - I hope the acid stays low and the next 10 weeks fly by without any issues.

Hope - hopefully the spotting will stop soon, don't move from the sofa until it does. Hope you got him to cook the toad in the hole. 10 weeks is a very long in hospital, at least you know you'll be regularly monitored but it is a lot to go through

Dairy - glad the molar worries are going. Finding out early is a downside, I found out at about 3w3d this time and it does feel like ages.

Oasis - welcome

Florida - glad everything is going well, good luck with your next scan.

The bleeding has slowed down, it's now (TMI) like brown string occasionally, has anyone else had this? I still have stronger pregnancy symptoms than last time, I've had it for about 3 weeks and I haven't started to miscarry so hoping everything is ok. I also bled before I had a positive scan. I have another this week so will find out then.
