PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

[floridamomma]

Hi ladies. Just stopping in to see how everyone's doing. Congrats to how far everyone has made it. Welcome to everyone who is new. Dairy I'm so sorry about your loss and anyone else that I missed. Well over here it's Mother's Day Sunday so I just wanted to stop in and say happy Mother's Day to all of us.

Sorry again for not updating for a few days, I'm feeling downright miserable. Had strong cramps a few days and couldn't get an nhs scan, luckily we had our private scan booked so we had that on Monday and we have a perfect baby GIRL! Midwife listened to babies heart on Wednesday and it was 132 bpm which is pretty low for 17+1 so of course I'm worrying. I also have protein in my urine so they suspect infection but I won't get results til Tuesday so that is worrying also! I didn't get the job which I applied for despite doing the job since December. I was the second candidate, number 1 was a lot more experienced. So now I'm really worried about baby and finances!

Mrs r gorgeous baby boy! Welcome newbies.

hur575, thank you for sharing. I'm so happy your little boy is here even thought it's been tough. He's definently a fighter!!

floridamomma, so glad to hear from you. Glad you're doing well. Happy Mother's Day to you too.

loeylo, I'm so sorry you didn't get the job and haven't been feeling well. But so glad your baby girl is doing great!! The heart rate is still in the normal range, so I wouldn't worry at all. Did your doctor act worried? I'm sure she's just fine and congrats on team pink!!

Loeylo, J's heartrate was always around the 135 mark. He's slightly spotty due to the chickenpox but otherwise happy and healthy, turning three later this month.

Thanks ladies. The midwife wasn't concerned but y'know what it is like! Will post a pic of her in next post - she's a cutie!

Do all babies at 17w have prominent eyes like this? The reason I ask is my partner has huge bright blue eyes - I'm hoping she may have inherited her daddy's eyes!

Florida - it's great to hear from you, happy mother's day for sunday.

Loeylo - I'm glad your scan went well, lovely pictures. Sorry about the job , I think you can still get Maternity Allowance - I think it's the same amount as SMP too, all the details should be on gov.uk website .

We have the anomaly scan week after next week, really hoping everything is ok. I'm getting a bit anxious as I haven't had a scan since 13 weeks, our midwives don't listen to the heartrate until 25 weeks as they say it's a bit hit and miss whether they can detect it at 16 weeks. I'm getting bigger so that's a good sign.

Hope everyone is good.

Blue blue - you are uk based aren't you? I've never heard that about 25w before listening to a hb

I had my first HB check at 15 and 17w, then I be having them at 19,21,23 and 25

My anomaly scan is next week but My endo informed me yday that the scan I had this week was just like an anomaly scan, they checked everything apart from heart valves because of baby gestation and it wouldn't keep still, my Fetal med cons called it the wild child , lol. I'm quite confident no further problems will arise next week

My placenta has invaded into my uterus well so no,placenta problems at the moment either , phew xx

Here a pic of my little mischief

Aw Hope so lovely, so glad all is going well!

 

[blueblue]

Hope - lovely picture, I'm so glad everything is going so well . Glad LO is a wild child .

I think it may just be my midwives waiting until 25 weeks, it's pretty late. I don't have any midwife appointments between now and then, having an anomaly scan at 18 weeks and a quick scan at 20 weeks for the clinical trial.

Squig -

Hope: such a lovely pic. I'm so thrilled for you hun!

I've been reading but did not get the chance to answer individually. I'm very happy to see all these scan pics!
Welcome to all the newbies. Very sticky thoughts to all of you.

Any news from Dsemcho?

 

[newlywedtzh]

I've been stalking for DSemcho too- hoping everything is alright.

 

[loeylo]

I just checked, she last posted on here on the 22nd April and was last online on the 30th April. The last post she made on the forum was on this thread. Hopefully everything is okay!

 

[newlywedtzh]

I think she was being sent to Germany...? Maybe she does not have internet access

 

[blueblue]

I hope D is ok too.

Hi all,

Hope amazing scan pictures xxx

blueblue, normally after the 12 week scan, you see less of the midwife until you get to third trimester. I think that how it is in the UK, I never got to third but had loads booked for that period.

Well not sure what's happening with my body my period always on time with except once where it was 4 days late. Last month however it was 3 days early, we tried this month, and hoped I would get my BFP, as I have to be in my steroids, aspirin etc before my AF arrives, and stop when it does or carry on if pregnant.

Well today I am one week late, no sign of it showing today either!!I have been testing and getting BFN, last was two days ago. I really don't know what is going on, I stopped the steroids on Af day , going mad here! can't be pregnant with my history without the striods, by this time, I start bleeding!!!

Hope everyone is good xxx

 

[Hope39]

Thats really crap Hur, the not knowing would really do my head in as it is probably doing yours

I see my midwife every two weeks and the weeks i dont see her i have a scan so i am seen everyweek by someone which helps the anxiety immensely

I got a recording of little one heartbeat today because my oh couldn't come to the midwife appt xx
