PAL - February 2013 rainbow babies

[PerpetualMama]

Thanks perpetual. I think I will call the practice and talk to the managing doctor and explain my complaints because I am not the only patient he has made uncomfortable apparently he has gone as far as throwing a chair and yelling at a nurse in front of a patient. I have even talked to nurses that dread working with him. I hope this will help prevent other women from having to go through what I did with that jerk.
I am hopeful I will like this practice. They recently did my mom hysterectomy and she absolutely loves them. It is a husband and wife team and she said she felt like she had two surgeons for the price of one because both were in the operating room. And unlike my previous practice were there was no guarantee which doctor would be there for the birth this practice allows you to choose which doctor you would prefer and even if they are not the one on call they come in to deliver you.
I meet them this Saturday. They say even though I am still being seen by my fs they would like to see me so I can get comfortable with them and so they can get accustom with my case and be proactive in treatment because of my history.

Sounds like a winning pair, and if Mom likes them...hopefully you will too!

Jessica hang in there sweets, getting past that milestone is an anxiety producing, worry filled, nerve wracking process stay strong! I am fortunate to have passed that point this past week, and I do feel a little better. Any upcoming scans or reassurances?

Jessica, you can DO this. This is your take-home baby. Mental milestones are the worst for us, aren't they?

Blue, I think it's a good idea to call and let the other doc know too... he needs to know that his practice is losing patients because of this guy.

AFM... scan in an hour and a half. EEK. PLEASE be there, beanie.

 

[Blue eyes 81]

your journal gave me chills, Blue eyes I'm so glad things seem to be turning around for you and your little peanut is "sticking" around

I don't blame you for switching, his partner seems like an @$$. At least leave the lady with some dignity after crush her

Thanks.
He was really lucky my mom was there that day (I guess I was too)
Because my DH was so upset with the treatment we were given that
he probably would have laid the guy out if it weren't for her being there.

Good luck AllMacsNow...can't wait to see a picture of your PERFECT scan will be thinking of you!

Going to the Doc tomorrow and he is going to TRY and book me in for an early u/s.

So I am thinking that I am going to do cord blood donation when our peanut is born.
I really like the idea that donated cord blood can help a child with an illness get better.
Have any of you ladies had any experience with cord blood donation? Donating or
receiving?

 

[PerpetualMama]

I have a sonoline B too! Not using it again or a few days though as I am running out of gel

SPD is where your pelvis relaxes too much in pregnancy, it is extremely painful, I had it when I was pregnant with both my kids and after my first it never really went away after pregnancy either like it is supposed to, so have had chronic pelvis pain for years now, but it was just starting to calm down before this pregnancy and now its back and it's going to get worse At the end of my pregnancy with my daughter on a bad day I could hardly walk. All worth it for my babies though x x x

That sounds just dreadful, I've never heard of it before. I hope it doesn't get too debilitating for you

I need to get through the next 6 days....as 10w5d was when I started bleeding last time. Really hope this is a sticky bean.

Stay positive, there is no reason for history to repeat itself

 

[AllMacsNow]

Everything's perfect

I'm actually measuring 10+ 1 or 2. He was a little surprised, but no biggie. Heartbeat of 167 bpm.

We talked about him 'graduating' me back to my regular OB/GYN, and he gave me the choice to go right back, since we haven't had any problems, or to have one more appt with him and then go back... I opted for 1 more appt, just because I want the extra scan, and with my regular OB/GYN, there's no guarantee when they'd do one again. So, a little selfish there, but who cares?

Little Beanie was wide awake and totally wiggling around... we saw it moving arms and legs. I took DS with me, and he was in awe. It was pretty cool. Now we just hope the video he took for Daddy turns out ok.

I'll get the scanner out later (when I'm not being lazy and/or cleaning for MIL's impending arrival tomorrow) and upload the pix

Congrats, that is great news!

 

[hope88]

Allmacsnow thats great news so glad you had a great scan

 

[debzie]

Allmac great news on the scan. Looks like lo has been growing fast.

 

[Lulu]

Great news AllMacs So glad it all went well for you.

Jessica - positive mental attitude I'm sure everything will be fine for you. My date to get past is 8wk 5 but as I had a mmc I didn't find out anything was wrong until my 12wk scan so I'm going to try and really press for an early scan when I first me up with my midwife on 23 July but I don't know what my health board's policy is for giving early scans so it might not happen

 

[Jessica28]

Lulu - Thats what I had too a mmc so that makes me so nervous especially not having many symptoms.

Allmacs - So excited for you

 

[saysib]

We have our scan next week and I am so hopeful of seeing a little wiggling bean.

 

[rosebud111]

yay! so happy for you...looking forward to seeing the scan pic

by this time next week I should have had my scan, I think? 2 more days til my first OBGYN appt (which I think will be similar to what some of you call "booking in" ) and they'll set up my scan. It seems like I was just complaining it was still 2 weeks away!

 

[rosebud111]

hi ladies. i don't know how much more i can take! nausea is so bad now. i keep eating and eating small meals even though i'm not hungry and it helps for like 10 minutes and then comes back. i never actually throw up but i am just very nauseous all the time. i am also beyond bloated! it's actually kind of scary how big my stomach swells up as the day goes on. i have zofran which helps MS but i really don't want to take it unless it is really bad..which is all the time.

how do you ladies feel? when does it get better??

 

[Jessica28]

I don't have m/s or nausea or anything but I am so so bloated all the time...I feel like I am 5 months pregnant already!

 

[rosebud111]

haha @ jessica! yes, that's exactly how i feel & look! my dh was patting my stomach the other night after dinner and said "what's this?" lol! i am so sensitive about it i told him "don't touch me!!!".

are you feeling fatigued? that's another one that is kicking me in the behind.
