PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

[ginny83]

congratulations Mowat! your twins each weighed more than either of my boys!

Ummi - good luck with everything!! It's 12:03am here on Tuesday - so officially your baby day

Hope everyone else is going well - sorry I don't post often in here, just super busy with studying and enjoying my boys So amazingly refreshing to have such a different focus on my life. bliss!

 

[Ummi2boyz]

Ginny: so nice to see you!!! I'm glad you're a happy busy mummy! Even though I miss you lots!
Haha! Baby date! Well she's not in a rush to come out! But now I can't wait for tomorrow! I had a bit of a wobble today thinking of all the things that could go wrong between now and tomorrow. And I'm thinking I should have accepted induction at 38w.
I'm also trying to get. Some rest before D day and sweep away those negative thoughts.

 

[DSemcho]

D - hope your move to Germany goes ok. Fingers crossed it will be a lot longer than 3 weeks. Is he measuring a week or two ahead? Thinking of you

AFM - feeling slightly breathless, has anyone else had this? I'm not sure if it's the pregnancy congestion.

It's only a temporary stay in Germany because of medical reasons. He was measuring 1.5 - 2 weeks ahead


I'm having the breathiness a lot!! But it's because my lungs are smooshed lol.



AFM - Going to Germany tomorrow or Wednesday definitely. They said they are confident I will only be there a few days and that I will be going on commercially to the states since I've been stable and at the same measurements for a week. And they said that my funneling has somehow become narrower...

 

[Hope39]

Have the they tested you for gestational diabetes DS, I'm sure babies are bigger when you have that x

So are they sending you to Germany for a
Few days and them onto America x

 

[Ummi2boyz]

Thinking of you DS. I hope everything goes smoothly for you.

 

[mowat]

Hang in there DS, I'll have to try and read back to find out what's going on...I'm out of the loop.

Breastfeeding is going reasonably well. Harriet is a natural and came out dying to nurse, however little brother is having issues but can manage with a shield. He had a slight tongue tie snip, but I still wonder whether it was enough. They both have heart-shaped tongue tips so I'm thinking they both have issues. Waiting to see the doctor and the lactation consultant and having to bottle feed when they aren't getting quite enough.

 

[petitpas]

Wow, Mowat, great news! Congratulations! Well done on the feeding, too. It's incredible how the experience can vary from baby to baby. Good luck with everything and enjoy your lovely little babies

Ummi, all the best for tomorrow! Soon you'll be holding your little girl in your arms... so exciting!

DS, sorry to hear about your worries. I hope the test in Germany comes back negative and that the Turkish doctor was wrong. In any case it sounds like you are in great hands and that everyone is doing everything they can to help your little guy. He is viable now and it sounds like he's a strong little fella already.

Blieblue, any breathlessness in pregnancy should get checked out. To rule out serious causes (important!) but also to identify less serious but treatable reasons such as anaemia. Please mention it to your midwife or doctor. Notice whether you are just breathless on exertion or also when resting.

Everyone else, hello! I hope you are all well!

 

[InVivoVeritas]

Ummi, thinking of you today.

I had my first scan today, and it looks like Squishy stopped developing at five weeks. So here we go again.

 

[wookie130]

Stalking for Ummi updates!

 

[Ummi2boyz]

InVivo: I'm so very sorry.

Afm: nothing happened yet. I've been monitored this morning, baby was ok, but sometimes the HR was slowing down. The doc thinks I'm dehydrated so they've put me on a drip and don't want to start induction until I'm better.
I'm waiting for some more monitoring now and we'll take it from there.
I thought I was going home, but by the look of it, it seems I'll be staying... But we won't know until I get the monitoring done.

 

[wookie130]

IVV- I'm so sorry, honey

 

[blueblue]

IVV - I'm so sorry for your loss . I wish it could be easier. Please look after yourself.

D - I'm glad everything is stable and the funneling is getting better. I hope the trip is an easy one for you

Petitpas - thanks, I'll mention it to the midwife. Hope you are getting on well with your new little one .

Ummi - hoping you are ok, are they inducing you today?

 

[nessaw]

Ivv I'm so sorry.x
Good luck ummi.x

 

[Ummi2boyz]

IVV -

Ummi - hoping you are ok, are they inducing you today?

They were supposed to, but they are still not happy about the ctg. so nothing yet.
Maybe tomorrow...

 

[wookie130]

Ummi, is baby still having some heart decels? Good luck! I'm glad they're keeping a nice close eye on you. Just keep your eye on the prize (a healthy YOU and baby), and no matter how that has to be accomplishe it will be a success! I'm going to continue stalking!

 

[dairymomma]

Popped in for a quick update.

Ummi-hopefully baby girl decides to kick things into gear and you have that baby sooner rather than later. Will be stalking for updates!

Mowat-congrats on those babies arrival! (And since I'm a sucker for old fashioned names, I absolutely ADORE Wilfred...) Glad everything went well in the end even if you had to have a c-section thanks to that stubborn little boy.

IVV-I'm SO sorry to see your news. I was really rooting for you. from here to there and take it easy.

MrsR-wow, you are at the halfway point already! That time just seems to fly, doesn't it? Have you gotten a scan scheduled yet? I know you are anxious to find out what you are having but I can't remember if I saw a date or not...

Tasha-how are you doing?

Hope-you hanging in there too? What are you now, 14-15 weeks? Sorry if I'm putting you ahead/behind where you really are but I've been out of the loop for a bit.

Sorry if I missed anyone or if you've already talked about what I've asked...I've been off most of the pg boards on BnB and mostly just pop in on my diet journal at the moment. Physically, I'm doing fine. Emotionally, I'm okay most of the time. I've had a few good wobbles in the last week and a healthy dose of jealousy (according to my FB feed, every other woman I know is breeding like rabbits...or so it seems...) so I'm avoiding most pg related stuff for a bit. But I had to see how my PARL pals were doing so I popped in. I will say I'm being more open with DH than I have in the past and it's been incredibly healing for me. I've also noticed DH is going out of his way a bit more to help me out lately so I know he's listening. So I'm doing okay. Sad a bit, yes. Okay? Yeah.

 

[DSemcho]

I haven't told Bob yet since he's en route and I don't want him to worry. I'm in Germany. And the Fetal fibronectin was positive. That with my cervix (which is down to 1.6cm) he's probably coming in the next two weeks and I'm not leaving anytime soon. Bob will need to somehow get here in a week, sooner if I dilate more. So we need to find out if they will issue him orders as my non-medical attendant so he can get here to me. If not then he will need to see if an embassy will issue him an emergency passport and we will need to figure out some way to get him here to me.

They're going to be transferring me to the hospital in Kaiserslautern because their NICU can hand,e a 24 week baby.

I had a dream last night I had him and he's so tiny.

 

[blueblue]

Ummi - I'm glad your doctors are looking after you, I hope you have your little one in your arms soon

Dairy - I'm really glad you are doing ok. It's good that being more open emotionally is helping you heal. Sorry about facebook, it's always a nightmare when things are difficult

D - will be thinking of you, I'm glad they've found a good hospital for you. Fingers crossed it will be longer than 2 weeks til little one comes. Hopefully Bob will be with you as soon as possible

 

[newlywedtzh]

DSemcho- Hang in there, modern medicine is on your side! And you are in a good place. Let's hope they can keep him baking for as long as possible! Hope your DH gets to you soon, I'm sure you are in need of some support.

 

[Ummi2boyz]

Baby was born this morning 7:43 via emergency c-section. She is in nicu atm but is doing well.
I'll post more later. Xx
