PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

Oh wow congrats Tasha sorry that you had such a stressful time - glad he is here safely!
 
I don't come on anymore but wanted to say congratulations to Tasha after seeing on miggins facebook fantastic news totally amazing all the best xxxxx
 
Hi girls. Just a quick message to say I've deleted his name. The mirror did an article on line without our permission and took stuff (just profile pic etc) from my fb. I would be really grateful if you could delete his name as I'm worried now. Lesson learned :(
 
Thank you for the congratulations though.
 
That's dreadful!! I must admit I did read the article via Facebook this morning and "liked" it, will unlike it now!
 
Congrats, Tasha! Sorry about the article but hopefully you can set things right with them and get your details straight. Then forget about any stress they may have caused by looking at your lovely little boy. He is here now and hopefully the drama is now over :hugs:
 
Aw Tasha my heart fills with joy as I read your update and all of the congratulations! And a boy!! Someone had it right by saying you are an inspiration to never give up. :) I'm sure the whirlwind of newfound fame (what?!? Crazy!!) is overwhelming especially after just having a baby!! Hope it settles down soon and your family can enjoy such s joyous time in peace!
 
Congratulations Tasha :). Glad your little one is here safe and sound, it's wonderful news. I was just thinking you must be due soon.

Mrs R - Glad Lincoln is doing well, congratulations on 28 weeks :)

Hope - hope you are good, are you going into hospital soon?
 
:happydance: Congratulations, Tasha! I'm so happy and excited for you!!

Welcome to the world, precious rainbow. :baby:
 
Tasha-sorry that your privacy was invaded by the public during this time. It's supposed to be a fun, joyous time and it stinks that you need to be so vigilant about even the smallest details (like a name). But congrats again and I hope everything else is going okay. Are you and a baby boy home yet?

AFM-just a quick update. My uncle has a pulmonary embolism and because it's the second clot he's had in less than a year (and he's got heart rhythm issues atm), he was tested for clotting disorders. Turns out he's got two and both are hereditary. One is KNOWN to cause miscarriage but it's not well known so it's unlikely I was tested for it yet so my dad's going to get more info from my uncle in the next monthish (my uncle is understandably not feeling well when he's got a clot in his lung and his heart isn't pumping right so my dad wasn't sure when he'd get to talk to my uncle next) so I can get tested. But if I do have it, it's easily treatable. I'd likely have to go on a daily baby aspirin every day and use heparin or lovenox with pregnancy but it's a small price to pay if it gets me to term and it'd FINALLY be an answer. Also learned a bit more about my family history too. My mom apparently only had one functioning ovary and my paternal grandmother had lots of issues with uterine fibroids (to the point she needed a full hysterectomy in her late 30s because she had a basketball sized one in her uterus). I was like, seriously?! I've had fertility issues for almost 8 years and I'm just finding out this stuff NOW? :dohh: But at least I'm finding it out and it may help explain some of my own issues. Lots to talk to the dr about at my appt though I'm putting off scheduling it until I get the info from my uncle. I don't know the name of the disorders and my dad isn't sure when he can next talk to him so it may be a few months before I know more.

But this may be the answer I'm looking for. FINALLY.
 
Dairy- I pray that it is!!! I guess in some wierd way, that may be good news, eh?
 
Yeah, it's strange but I'm actually excited about this. It's been so frustrating not knowing and this would explain SO much if it's the answer. It would also have a bearing on my kid's lives too if I do have a clotting disorder so if for no other reason than that, I'm getting tested. If I am a carrier, my kids will probably need testing as well. Though I won't lie-I'm terrified of needing heparin injections while pg. I'm a wimp when it comes to shots and it's something I'd likely need the entire pg. *shudder* I know you can get a pill form too but I'm not sure if my dr would prescribe it because he's only ever offered me the shots.
 
Hi Dairy,

Wow that's news! I'm sorry to hear about your uncle's diagnosis but at the same time relieved that he survived!

If you do have a clotting issue then unfortunately shots are the only option as no anticoagulants in pill form are licensed in pregnancy. I know how daunting it is being an ex needle phobe but you get used to the shots pretty quickly and they become surprisingly easy to do :hugs:
 
Congrats Tasha!!!! Sorry about all the articles and fame - must be a little overwhelming :( Take care!
 
Dairy - I guess news like that is better late than never. I hope you find some answers soon!
 
Hi ladies. Have any of you ever been referred to a consultant midwife due to anxiety around birth and pregnancy?

We had an appointment yesterday - some bits of it were a bit awkward, like she had us picking out cards with words on it about our feelings surrounding pregnancy (myself and my oh both felt really awkward and felt like it was a "test" so felt we had to pick out a balance of nerves and excitement. I think that is the teacher in me!)

She totally worked us out though. She even guessed my job based on my personality (scary) and told me that my partner feels tonnes of pressure to make everything "right" and to be the strong man.

End result is I am being referred for a free hypnobirthing course, I have a self hypnosis DVD/cd pack, and I have a referral for a free daisy foundation course.

I am to go meet her again later in my pregnancy, and then once the baby is born. She also went through risk factors for adverse birth events and thigs, which I won't post on here, but I feel reassured after the facts and I feel empowered to try for a birthing pool (I was almost going down te route of elective c section)
