PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

[heart tree]

Hopeful, you are going to stretch more than most of us because you have double the size growing in there. I've had some stretchy feelings today too. I'm glad you have a scan sooner than later, especially because you don't have a doppler.

I was just emailing with a friend of mine whose 34 weeks pregnant. I told her about the NT scan. She told me that she knows a lot of women who were anti-ultrasound for their entire pregnancies. She was going to be that way too, but caved and went for the NT scan just so she could see her baby. I think that might have been the only scan she got!

Yup, you guessed it, it's her first pregnancy and it's been trouble free. I told her I didn't understand a no ultrasound stance. It felt like another planet to me.

Can you imagine????

Croydon I feel for you with your headaches x Try a cold or hot compress one other other should help also when you feel it coming on pinch the space between finger an your thumb it's an acupuncture point x if you feel to weak to do this get oh to do it for you hope one of these helps you x

I feel lucky to have had no headaches YET x I have a really bad headache condition called cluster headaches it said to be the worst pain known an I'd have to agree thankfully I'm episodic and not chronic but I have to take 15litres of 100% oxygen an some heavy meds x if I'm unlucky enough to get a bout I can still use my O2 but not the meds I can get an injection of morphine from docs as long as I'm not nearly due x I pray they stay away it's hard enough to go through but having them while pregnant is just unbearable x

 

[Mrskg]

Heart I only ever had one scan with each of my daughters x I really didn't realise how lucky I was an I know now I never appreciated how innocent those pregnancies were x I feel for all of you that have not experienced a "normal" pregnancy an now know how lucky I've been x Pal is one scary place to be x x x

Not sure there's anyone else on here from Scotland but happy rabbie burns day x hope you enjoyed your haggis neeps an tatties x

I'd say the silver lining to being PAL is that I have gotten a lot of extra attention from doctors. I can get a scan anytime I want and frankly I love getting them. But you're right, I've never had the luxury of a normal pregnancy. I guess this one is normal, but we treated it like it wasn't for a while just in case.

I hope you don't get any cluster headaches Mrskg. They sound awful.

I'm off to my last therapy appointment. Have a great night!

 

[croydongirl]

Mrskg those headaches sound awful. Praying they stay away during the rest of your pregnancy. Thanks for the tip, I will certainly try that pressure point if/when another headache shows up. My doctor said after 10 weeks headaches can start in pregnancy so I am not worried but I just hope they go away soon.

[jenny25]

Ok been doing singing silly I always check my cervix bad habit and I've had some brown around it now I'm freaking out

 

[filipenko32]

Jenny so did heart and Davies but don't think they went cervix rummaging lol! But just goes to show their bleeding was heavier!

 

[jenny25]

I'm going to hospital just now x

 

[puppycat]

Jenny let us know how you get on hun. All this worry is not good for you chick xx

I haven't been sick since yesterday morning still feel really nauseous but that i can live with. I know when i'm going to be sick and i don't feel that atm although last night was touch and go.

DH bought me some ginger biscuits so i'm nibbling those, i have these sea bands on still, don't like them much but now i'm scared to take them off

 

[jenny25]

Thanks I'm just on the bus just now hopefully it won't take too long

 

[Pretty Please]

puppy - what about murrey mints - have you tried hard boiled mint sweets? to try and take off the sickness? might work for a bit.

jenny - hope everything goes well at the hospital and it doesnt take forever ! hopefully give you a scan )

nsn - I hope everything goes well with your head - what did they say? bad enough to start logging them? - some people at work are just nasty - I hate horrible co-workers that make your life /job harder !!

heart - when are you going to tell work? does it work differently in us or can you keep it a secret until you show largely ? i think uk you have to tell work by 20 weeks.

 

[hopeful23456]

Jenny- you will be ok! I can't imagine what's lurking around my cervix and am way too scared to feel up there. The progesterone suppositories probably made it all strange. Your scan will go fine!

Puppy- yeah! Glad to hear you finally got a little break from sickness!

NSN- happy 10 weeks! You r right, I need to keep the faith in going off the meds. It's easier when I think that it was to help my implantation and that seemed to go well.
That sucks you have a crazy ass at work!

Davies- happy 13 weeks!

Croy- happy 13 weeks!

I had to add a fruit ticker cause that peach just looks too cute ( and makes me hungry for one )

Hi Fili! How are you doing? I hope that he workouts are going great and you can get back to bd' in!

Was up at 2:45, it's 4 now, hoping to sleep more!

 

[puppycat]

Hey Pretty. Yeh DH bought me Murray Mints but i couldnt stand the taste of them have only just started being able to stomach polo mints but sometimes i can't finish it all. Odd huh

 

[Mrskg]
