Sweet I've had 3 and I just hate the pushiness of it all. In the us it's like a factory now. Get em in get em out, constantly trying to do things you don't want. I'm thinking of just getting a doula. I've had some pretty rough birth experiences. Yes 17 weeks already, it's flying by. Some days I can't figure out if I'm going or coming.

You are already getting NT scan? Wow feels like we'll pushing them out in like 2 months lol
 
I have an amazing doctor that tried to slow down everything last time as he was afraid that everything was going too quickly and he didn't want any complications because of it. He is a high risk MFM though so maybe that's why. My eldest wasn't the best experience but the nurse and the doctor were very rude and I refuse to go to that hospital for anything any more.

NT scan was ok I think. Very quick and the technologist didn't say anything. I got to see baby for a second and all she showed me was the head and the limbs. My family doctor will call me if there are any concerns and if not I go right to the high risk clinic in about 4-6 weeks.
 
Hi everyone! Florida so happy to see you so far along!

V-Day today! Going fast but slow at the same time. Second pregnancy is so much different.

SweetV you're pregnant again! Sorry I haven't been around much lately but that's amazing you got a little surprise bun! Congrats!
 
Florida, congratulations on 17 weeks! So glad you are getting your rainbow x

Sweet, congratulations on 12 weeks! x

Newly, congratulations on V-day! Hope you are finding it easier second time around x

It's great to see so much good news :)

I went back to hospital today for a birth reflections service to have LO's birth explained to me. I had a EMCS under a general after reduced fetal movement and a abnormal CTG where her heartrate kept dropping, so I already knew it was close but they told me they only had 7 minutes after converting to EMCS to get her out, otherwise she wouldn't have been ok. I was so lucky, if I hadn't have been on here I'd never have known to be so diligent about getting reduced movements checked out and she wouldn't be here today. Thank you so much ladies x
 
That's interesting blue blue, they did an emcs under general with Isaac and it took them 7 minutes before they wheeled me out of the room to go to theatre! He was born 20 minutes after the decision was made

Oscar 1st birthday is approaching and I'm really struggling over Isaac :-(. I'll never get to celebrate his birthday properly x
 
Hope, I'm so sorry, it must be so hard (I have no idea because I haven't been through it, but I'm thinking of you and Issac). I'm so sorry you won't be able to celebrate Oscar's birthday properly. I was talking to a friend today who lost her first baby two days after her due date, she has a 4 month old now but it is bittersweet.

Sorry if I've caused any upset, I typed the wrong thing, it was 7 minutes to deliver after her heartbeat dropped to 80 bpm and didn't recover as it had previously, they decided to do a general at that point as they couldn't wait for the spinal to work. Previous to that, when they first realised she was in more distress they sent me to delivery suite and it was about an hour before I had her.

From what I can find, category 1 c-sections are within 30 mins of the decision:

Blue blue, I meant I wouldnt get to celebrate Isaac birthday properly. I'm celebrating Oscar in style, lol, we having a bar b Q for family & friends so they'll be about 25 adults and 12Children . It's just tough because we are doing things that we never got to do for Isaac

It's very bittersweet , if Isaac had survived then i wouldn't have my little Oscar bear

You didn't cause me any upset Hun and thanks for clarifying what you meant. I think Isaac heartbeat had dropped well below 80 when they decided but I'll never know so I won't dwell on it if that makes sense . by the end of September we should have the expert neo natal report which should hopefully tell us what Isaac chances were of survival if they had delivered him 40 minutes earlier . Ive been waiting a year for this report

Xx
 
Blue so glad you both are ok

Hope :hugs: glad you get to go big for Oscar. Thinking of your family and Issac:hugs:
 
The party for Oscar sounds great, I hope you have a wonderful day. I can't believe our babies are nearly one already, it has gone so quickly. I'm so sorry you didn't get to do the same for Isaac. I hope the report gives you the answers you are looking for x
 
It's flown by hasn't it, scarily quick too, I want it to slow down a bit. X
 
I hope that report gives you some answers hope.

The birth of my daughter also involved a general anesthetic and a FAST section (basically within 10 minutes of getting to the hospital---they worked fast!). My water broke at home and the cord prolapsed. Took us 15 minutes to get to the hospital. We were so lucky. If they hadn't been so quick my daughter would not have made it. Time and the right team make all the difference.
 
Thank you Florida x

I know, it feels like she's going to be a toddler soon and that's scary, I'm trying to take everything in and make the most of each stage. She doesn't sleep through though so it still feels like she's little.

Confuzion, I'm so glad Zinny was OK, it sounds like a scary experience x
 
Ladies how do you manage the anxiety of a new pg? I got a vf bfp today and my initial reaction was panic and tears. I am only 10dpo so super early but my fear of another loss and having to deal with those emotions is crushing at times. I go to a support group and do regular 'work' on myself but nothing eases this anxiety that sets in. I have no known reasons for my losses and no special pill or treatment to help.
I try to embrace each pg but this was the first time I reacted that way and just feel shut off from it.
