A few weeks sweet v 
Hope, I go into DAU and I have my blood pressure done three times at certain intervals (I think it's every half hour). It's because it can vary and they are thinking mild pre-eclampsia at this point.

Tasha, oh no! I hope it isn't PE although proteinuria, swelling and high BP all together don't sound good. If it is PE will they induce earlier considering your history?
I saw you mentioned the vitamin K jab earlier. I discussed it with my haematologist before having J and they explained at the time how it works on a specific clotting agent but it isn't considered a problem for FVL (e.g. vitamin K works as an antidote to warfarin so you sometimes need to watch your diet when on warfarin but when treated with heparin you can eat what you like as heparin targets a different clotting agent in the blood)
My sister once misread how vitamin K works and both her and my mother avoided cabbage (high in vitamin K) for years because they thought it could be an issue with FVL. It isn't so they are back to eating their greens
Both my children had the vitamin K jab. The risks of not having it were too high for us but best have them explained by your doctor.
Beautiful scan pic, by the way
not long now!
Sweet, congratulations on team blue!

D - so glad to read your update! Have checked in often hoping to see one. Hopefully Cole stays put as long as possible and comes out needing minimal help!
Tasha - beautiful scan photo and I love that rainbow outfit, so precious! Wishing you a healthy quick delivery this month!
blue - congrats on your little girl as well! Happy to hear all was well with your scan. I got to watch on another screen during mine as well it's definitely an amazing experience.
sweetV - congrats on a healthy baby boy! I think a lot of us go into pregnancy with a slight preference for one sex or another but RPL gives us enough perspective to be happy on having a healthy kiddo regardless of what's between their legs!
AFM, nothing really to report. Thankfully, this pregnancy has gone smoothly thus far. Have my GD test next week. Don't think I have it but a tad nervous anyway!

Hope I'm due 8Aug
They gave me the steroid shot at 23 weeks and are discussing giving me another.
I thought I'd be seen ever week or even every two weeks, but they are waiting until 18June to have my next appointment (last was 28May). Bought some premie bodysuits, one set is def premie and the other set it seems looks more 0-3 month width
Eh. Right now I'm trying to eat as much protein as possible to help him get bigger and I'm staying off my feet when I can.

Sweet - it's the first one where I've seen the scan properly, hope yours has a screen too.
D - hope you are eating like a horse and taking it really easy! I hope everything continues to be stable. I'm surprised they aren't seeing you every week

Oh D, you are doing so well! 
they must think that things have calmed down and are more manageable if they don't need to see you that often.
This baby has been really keeping you on your toes, hasn't he? It'll all be forgiven once he is in your arms

Ladies, I need to leave the group, found out the worst possible news at our 20w scan yesterday that our wee boy has slipped away from us
no warning indications at all.
Going to be induced for stillbirth and really terrified.
Wishing you all the best for happy and healthy pregnancies

Empire, I'm so sorry. Life is so bloody unfair. We are all here for you.
If you have any questions feel free to message me as I've had two stillbirths (one at 24+3 and one at 36+6).
You're baby will be just like a term baby but tiny, my 24 weeker was the same size as a 19/20 weeker. She weighed 340 grams and was from the tip of my middle finger to just past my wrist.
I would go and get (or if you can't face going get someone else to) two blankets that are super soft (can recommend a debenhams one if you're in the UK), soft so it doesn't hurt their skin, two because you can keep your baby in it until you leave and then take the used one with their smell and leave the second one with the baby. A teddy. Both these things feel important as it's something of their own.
Other advice is hundreds of photos, making sure you get some with your partner, you and baby together. Take photos with things next to your baby so I put my little finger next to Riley Rae's hand and feet, my hand next to etc as it is easy to forget how tiny they were.
The second time I made sure I saw her feet, her tummy, her bottom, every part of her.
Don't let anyone rush you, take as much time as you need.
I am so very sorry for your loss Hun. I hope my post isn't callous, I just don't want you to have the same regrets I had with Honey.

EmpireBiscuit, nothing I say will feel even remotely adequate in light of what you're facing, but my deepest thoughts and sympathies are with you and your family at this time. "I'm sorry" just doesn't cut it, but I am so very sorry.

Empire Biscuit, I'm so sorry to read you're going through this. I went through similar in February & it's awful. I hope you have lots of support around you & if possible, someone to look after you & DH for at least few days after you give birth. I heartily agree with Tasha's advice. I know right now it will seem hard to get your head around, but if you can manage to do those things, you will be glad you did. You might want to think of a name if you haven't already. Many

I'm so sorry empire. I really have nothing useful to add. Life really is ridiculously unfair sometimes. It sucks you have to endure this. I wish you a quick delivery and recovery and I hope the goodbyes with your little boy help somewhat with healing and closure though I'm sure you will be grieving his loss for quite some time yet.
