PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

Ummi-Congrats!

Dsemcho-hopefully your OH can make it back to your side before little one is born and even more hopefully that little boy stays put for a bit longer. Have they said anything about a cerclage or are they thinking it won't help at this point?
 
IVV - I'm so sorry for your loss

Ummi - congrats. I hope you and baby are doing well.

DS - I hope babe stays in there as long as possible. Keep off those feet!
 
Thanks. I haven't met my baby yet. I'm hoping they'll take the catheter out this morning so I can move around and go and see her in nicu. I am expression the little colostrum I have (last one was a whooping 0.5 ml!! My record so far). And send it to her.
I'm still quite tired but I'm good so far. My unique goal is get on my feet ASAP so I can meet my baby!
 
:hugs: ummi. When they take the catheta out there is no reason for them not to take you to see your baby in a wheelchair. You need to see her regardless of being able to walk or not. It will also help with the milk (but don't worry that it's not loads, that's normal at this stage plus every drop is important).
 
I've just been able to see the baby and I think I fell in love!!! I couldn't stay there for long, but I'm going back at 10 to try and breastfeed.
 
Congratulations Ummi, glad your little girl is here safely & that you've been able to see her. Hope the breastfeeding goes well & that your daughter is out of NICU ASAP! Do you have a name yet?
 
Congrats Ummi - so pleased you got to meet her finally . I was pestering the nurses at 5 in the morn to take me to see isaac when he was in nicu, it still took 2 hours to get the catheter out and get me sorted ready to wheel me down

Dairy - I'll be 17w on Saturday, thanks for asking hun

I had a scan yday and all seems ok , apparently I was contracting but consultant wasn't concerned to hopefully just Braxton hicks

Xx
 
Ummi - congratulations :). Glad you got to see your little one, hope you are both doing well :hugs:

Hope - glad your scan went well, congratulations on nearly 17 weeks :hugs:

The NT test came back as low risk, really relieved.
 
Ummi - congrats on meeting baby!

Hope - almost 1/2 way there!

blue - glad the test came back well.
 
Yep - one more week to go and that is halfway for me , wahoo :) xx i would rather just get to v day asap xx
 
Wowzers...Hope, I didn't think I was off by almost 2 weeks! I've been wrapped up in my own little world of late and tend to forget that time has been moving on everywhere else. :dohh: And early congrats on making your halfway point. FX the next weeks pass quickly so you'll blink and V Day will be here. (If only it were that easy, eh? :haha:)

Ummi-glad you've gotten to see baby. Take the time you need to heal and just enjoy that new LO.
 
Ummi- Congrats on the birth of your little one! I'm glad you got to see her, and you'll be attempting a feed...lots of skin to skin contact (if that's allowed, I'm not yet sure why she's in the NICU), and the use of a pump (even though your milk hasn't officially "come in" yet) for nipple stimulation will help stimulate production of colostrum and then milk...I'd pump a ton on those down times when you're not with her. Hopefully whatever is going on with her, is something short-lived, and that she can room-in with you ASAP. If not, you can still move with your catheter in...they'll just hang it on a rolling rack-thing (sorry, I don't know the name), and you can walk to the NICU when you please, as soon as you're able. Stay ahead of those painkillers. Take them whether or not you think you need them, seriously. It's easier to stay ahead of the pain, rather than try to medicate after you start hurting a lot. If you're having trouble with mobility, just ask for a couple of nurses to take you under both arms, and escort you slowly. The more walks you take, the easier it gets, and the sooner you can do it, the faster you'll recover.

Good luck, and I'm looking forward to your updates! :)
 
Oh D, how scary! I hope Bob makes it to your side asap. Germany has great medical facilities so they will take care of your bubba very well. Fingers and legs ;) crossed he cooks a little longer in your tummy. Are you on any medication at the moment?

Ummi, I left you a note in your journal. I hope your little girl is with you asap for gentle healing cuddles :hugs:
 
Hello ladies,

Sorry I literally haven't been on in a week. To make a long story short, my Boxer dog Butch had to have a tooth removed on Monday. Woke up and the left side of his face was all swollen. This happened back in August to the opposite side of his face and it was an abessed tooth. He's 9. So he had to have that taken care of and we also found out he has a heart murmur and he may have a tumor because they checked his blood calcium levels and they were elevated which most often means a tumor. I've had him since he was 8 weeks old, he's my baby. I'm terrified of it being cancer. So I'm hoping and praying either it comes back looking ok because they said sometimes the level will be elevated due to excitement, stress or something they ate. Or if it's still elevated that it's nothing bad. A benign tumor if it is one. They did do a chest xray and it had his upper intestines in the picture and they didn't see anything, so that doesn't leave many spots it could be considering he doesn't have any lumps or bumps I can find. I'm really scared of losing him. He's 9, but I was hoping he'd have another couple years. He's acting happy and silly like normal which is good, but still terrifying.

I think I'm all caught up...

DSemcho, I'm so sorry it is looking like baby is going to come sooner than hoped. But you're in great hands and what they can do today for premature babies is amazing. I hope and pray it will stay in there longer than 2 weeks for you.

mowat, congrats on the twins arrival!! Each weighing over 7lbs is amazing!!! Great job!!! I'm sorry your delivery didn't go quite as you would have liked, but all that matters in the end is that you and babies are doing great, which is sounds like you are.

blueblue, congrats on hitting your 2nd trimester!! Also congrats on your NT test coming back low risk. I get breathless a lot too. Not if I'm just relaxing, but if I'm doing things I get out of breath quicker than normal. I think it's the extra blood flow and our uterus pushing up against our lungs.

IVV, I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am that you lost your little one. Take care of yourself and I know you'll be back on here soon.

Ummi2boyz, congrats on your little one showing up!!! I'm so glad you finally got to meet her and you're both doing well.

dairy, my anatomy scan is May 4th. I'm glad you're hanging in there. Keep taking care of yourself.

Hope, I'm glad you're still doing well. Almost to the 2nd trimester!!!
 
Almost to the second trimester ....... I hope I'm well into second tri, lol. I think I hit second tri about a month ago

Xx
 
Ummi, I hope you and your little girl are doing okay.

Who is due next? I like the countdown to meeting another rainbow x
