[Tasha]

it's good isn't it?

I was winding wobbles up and that was the result I quite like it though

 

[wookie130]

Me too!

 

[Hope39]

I had to have a cervix scan on wednesday which i had totally forgotten, boy do i wish i had had a trim first , ha xx

 

[Tasha]

Hahaha, that's the worst Trood

I had to shave my legs all through winter because them blimming scans

 

[Hope39]

She did tell me two weeks previously but i had forgotten. I wont be able to reach soon, then what do i do, lol. OH to the rescue, lol

 

[Tasha]

I think I've only got one more to go and my bumps quite small so I think I'll manage all the way to the end.

 

[wookie130]

This reminds me of my post-partum visit after I had my second baby last August...they had to do a pelvic exam, and much to my embarrassment, it had been about 7 months since I had actually shaved my legs. I opted to not have my tubes tied during my c-section, so they were asking me about birth control...I pointed to my legs, and I said, "these are the only contraception I'll be needing." LOL!!!!

 

[Tasha]

Hahaha, too funny!

 

[blueblue]

Mrs R - I hope your dog is ok!

I'm laughing about the hairiness/new screen name. I only remember to shave my legs when I have internal scans (very happy when they stopped) and acupuncture. Lol think I'd better start remembering a bit more now it's getting to summer.

 

[dairymomma]

Tasha-I almost fell off my chair when I saw the new name and it took me a few seconds to figure out who you were! Love it though.

On the hairiness note-For some reason, I have very blond, very fine hair that only grows up to my knees. I can usually get away without shaving for days/weeks/all winter long as a result. However, I tend to get rather dark and wiry (and did I mention PROMINENT?) chin hairs that need plucking every few weeks or so to make up for it. If I so much as waggle my razor at my lady bits, the skin turns red, itchy, and in-grown-hair bumpy in about 2.2 because the skin is SO super sensitive. I've tried everything-creams, waxing, different shaving lotions, bikini line razors...Same result every single time. So I stick with trimming the overgrown with scissors and hope for the best. (I think I may subscribe to Wookie's thinking on BC though and not trim down below for a bit as DH and I are on a 'no-hanky-panky' period for a while now. )

MrsR-hope your dog is okay.

 

[SweetV]

haha! In a few more weeks I will be right up there with that new name Tasha! Then it will be OH to the rescue lol, I've never been heavily pregnant in the summer before so he better get lots of practice in. I did a quick trim for my last tvus but forgot my legs lol. No point in having nice trim lady parts when the legs would put my dog to shame.

Dairy, it's nice to see you on the boards!

Hi everyone.

Baby was in special care for a bit more than 24 hrs. She came back with me in that afternoon. So I just missed 24 hrs with her. But we are making it up now!

To sum up, I was never induced as from the start the ctg were not good, her hr was having dips. So we did more ctg and I was put on a drip. But it did not help. Around midnight I sent dh home so he could get some proper rest before I'd go into labour. Next ctg was the same so I was sent down to labour ward so they could keep a closer eye on me. And there ctg finally got normal. It was the plan to start induction then, and I was even having my own contractions. Everything looked fine. When suddenly baby's hr went down and the mw could not pick it up anymore. In a matter of seconds I had 4 mw around me and 2 doctors and by the look on their faces I could tell things were going really wrong. The doctor examined quuckky, I was already 3 cm and baby well engaged but no hr. And then I heard the words "theatre" and "crash section". I started crying and tell them to call my husband. All I could say was call my husband, do whatever you have to save my baby! In a matter of seconds I was put to sleep, I had the section and woke two hours later (maybe?? Can't say exactly the time) All I was doing was crying asking were my baby was. I thought the worst had happened. But thank God! The mw told me she was born screaming but needed oxygen and anti biotics so she was in special care. Husband arrived later (he was 2 hrs away)

. We're home since yesterday evening everything is good and we're trying to find our marks.

We named our baby girl Inaya Yasmine. Inaya means in arabic help, care and protection (from Allah) and Yasmine is the jasmine flower, which was my mum's name. And she weighed 3.5 kg at birth

 

[Tasha]

Oh my goodness umi I'm so glad they did the section then, it must of been very scary for you. I'm glad you are home and that Inaya is okay. Such a pretty name x

 

[SweetV]

Wow, you must have been so scared! I'm glad that you are both happy and healthy and home! That 24 hours will seem like nothing soon enough. Congrats mama!

 

[wookie130]

What a gorgeous name, Ummi! And I am so very, very glad you were in the hospital, in the hands of those with expertise, medical technology, and ability to save your beautiful daughter in time. An emergency c-section is never ideal, but it can be highly necessary, and it's a blessing that your team acted accordingly. The first 24 hours is yet a speck of time in the hours and days and years you will spend together as mother and daughter, and you have the rest of your lives to form a beautiful bond. Well done!

 

[mowat]

Congrats!

 

[Mrs Reineke]

Hello ladies,

Ummi, I'm so glad you and baby are doing well after your scary delivery. So thankful your doctors/nurses did what was right for you both. Beautiful name you chose!!

I just now realized that Growingmybush was you too Tasha!!! It doesn't help I have pregnancy brain...I thought you were a new person!!! LOL!!!

Speaking of that, I can and have been shaving my legs, but my lady parts are getting harder and harder to actually see what I'm doing. So I may have to switch to growing my bush too. LOL!!

As far as my fur baby Butch, he's feeling good. Acting like his normal, silly self again. His re-check on his blood calcium levels is this coming Saturday. I've just been praying it's nothing major.

I'm 21 weeks today!! One week until my anatomy scan FINALLY!!! I was thinking today, I haven't seen my baby since February 19th and it hasn't been officially measured since January 19th!!! My doctor has checked it's heartbeat at my past couple visits and told me my uterus is where it should be by feeling for the top of it...so that's great, but I will feel so much better knowing it is doing good and growing strong and healthly. I can't wait. It moves every day multiple times and the movements are getting stronger. That's a great sign too. I just want to see it to believe it I guess. Hoping this week flys by!!

Hi ladies, dipping my toes in - it seems I'm pregnant for the 4th time since October. My recurrent miscarriage testing I had done just last week came back with no abnormalities so I'm hopeful this will be my rainbow.
I was actually trying NOT to get pregnant this month to give my body a break but oops. Very obvious liens at 22 dpo on whats normally a 27 day cycle.

 

[EmpireBiscuit]

Hi ladies can I join please?

Had two losses in 2014 (April @7 weeks, August at 9 weeks)

Now 14+3 with a little boy and all seems to be going well, but it's a touch road mentally more than anything

Yesterday I had a sudden onset of bleeding, possibly as a result of spin class and some sex (maybe I got too complacent after the Harmony results were good). Scary stuff, and possibly the baby aspirin made it worse

I have a couple of friends who've also had recurrent loss I can talk to, haven't told anyone else of the pregnancy yet except immediate family.

 

[newlywedtzh]

Welcome Ladies! This is a great place to quell "PARLnoia" (Pregnancy after recurrent loss paranoia) a phrase coined by our very own Dairymomma.

Congrats on the BFPs!
