PAL Spring 2011 babies - Welcome Mason, Iris, Lily, Isaac, Luca & Dominic !!!!

I just googled and watched the news. You are right Nic - that is clearly no more than 7 weeks in that picture and presumably that was the follow up one so she must have been only about 6 weeks not 12.

Feel better now.

I hate the fact they say they advised her to have a termination. It's not a termination. The baby has already died. How horrible to use that word for mothers who have no damn choice
 
I also cannot believe they use the word termination. It is an Evacuation - even that word is cold but to use termination is very uninformed and insensitive!
 
omg Vickie, we're even scare wise!
i read Lianne's post first, then saw your "thanks" under it
my gosh, i panicked!!!
 
Hi girls,
Jen so sorry to hear about your bank account. That happened to me about a year ago-they must have stolen my number at a restaurant or something and then made a duplicate card. They spent $100) at Home Depot and $200 at a gas station. I forget where the charges were exactly but they were in one of the the southern states like Georgia or something. I really hope it gets sorted out soon. My bank was fairly quick, but it was still probably about two weeks and it was hard to be without much money in the mean time!

Vicky-Yay for a good scan. such a relief.

Deb-Glad things checked out okay at the EPU. So scary though-I'm sure it sent you for a panic.

AFM-Having a major wobble today. I feel depressed like I could just stay in bed all day. I feel like it is hard to keep up with my work and I don't feel like going to work. I am a college professor so I have lots of grading, meetings, classes to teach etc. and I feel like I just want to hide at home in my PJs. I'm guessing it's hormones. I'm just feeling overwhelmed with everything from housework to my job, bills, money etc. Things are so tight now I sometimes wonder how I will make it with a little one but I guess lots of people are in that boat and if we all waited until we were wealthy or could truly afford it then I guess most of us wouldn't have kids.

And on top of all of it...TMI alert....I had an embarrassing sex moment with my OH this morning. In the midst of trying to cheer me up and make me feel good, let's just say at that special moment...that, well...um...damn that relaxin hormone making certain parts of the body more relaxed than usual! Thank goodness neither me nor my OH are uptight about bodily noises, but it still was embarrassing, especially since OH was doing some under cover work :haha: At first we both started laughing but then I started crying horribly (for the second time so far today) and going on about how I am so un-sexy right now. OH was sweet and reassuring, but ugh...

I am still feeling paranoid too. Wish I could pick up baby's hb with the doppler I have, but since it's really a blood flow doppler and not a baby doppler, I only seem to be able to find my hb and other whooshing sounds. I'm so terrified that I'm going to go for my gender scan at the private place (which is not really a medical facility but more of a come see your baby boutique) and that something will be horribly wrong. I think all of this worry is really taking its toll on me. I want to crawl in a hole today...and I can't because starting in an hour, I teach back to back classes for four hours. I can't run. I can't hide. And today I really want to. No one understands what I am feeling inside except for you gals. I don't think most people understand how paralyzing the fear can be. Sometimes I have really good days where I am confident things are good and then other days, like today, I feel like I can't function. Wow, I need to stop...I sound like a crazy woman.

I'm sorry you're feeling like this Hun, deep breath-get today out of the way and tomorrow will seem better xx

:haha: at the "undercover work"! x
 
thanks girls my head is up my backside at the moment but doing ok i guess urgh hey ho , i have the midwife doing a home visit on thus afternoon so that will help sorry my head is all over the place at the moment and i cant think straight x
 
Vickie - funny your ticker says 6 inches, which can't be right, can it? That's about 10cm not 20 - seems small. I'm confused too.

6 inches is 15cm - that's supposed to be head to bum though not head to foot.

I think that's the thing that gets me - they couldn't tell me that she hadn't grown. She measured perfect but no heartbeat.

I know they got two people to double check but it's just one of those things that has been on my mind ever since. Even when they gave me the induction tablets I was begging them to tell me if it was possible to make a mistake and I will never forgive myself for not asking for another scan.

Vickie - Glad that Nic was able to clear that up. Also, given how far along you were, not a chance they weren't positive about the sad diagnosis. Not a chance.

And you're right - not a termination. Ugh - a while back there was a thread on first tri about d&c's that I won't go into details about - but it was equally uninformed and insensitive. Ugh.

And of course you're right - it's 15 cm! I'm blaming that on Preggo Brain! But it's still quite a bit different than 20 cm and still an awfully big onion..... :dohh:

Great news on the scan, Vicky!

I saw on another thread that Peril had a great scan too. Double hurray!
 
Hey guys, I heard that story on the news too but I think she had a trainee do the scan and they said there was a supervision failure so I think she was really unlucky and was told the wrong thing. I think she was actually quite early on. Vickieh :hugs: I think all of us who have had a mmc think a bit like that but they check twice and unfortunately for us there was no mistake :-(

Debs sorry you had a scare :hugs:

Vickyd yay for a good scan!

Tulip thanks for remembering everything and everyone!

Hugs and sticky dust for everyone else! Afm 20w scan today. Got no sleep and feel sick to my stomach. Will update later xx
 
Good luck Rainbow!

Loads of love!

I'm currently trying to pull my head from the pillow! Rather unsuccessfully! Xxxx
 
Spotting and cramping seems to have stopped .. under strict instructions to rest. DH back to work today :( He says i have to tell him what jobs need doing etc, but i hate to! Plus he pulls this "face" and it makes me feel guilty. He's promised to try and not do the "face" so we'll see.

We found badger's heartbeat last night too . it was so cute Keavey and Jasmine decide they wanted to have a go at finding it too! Then Jas tired to wipe the gel off my tummy and spread it everywhere.

Hope everyone is ok :)

As a small aside ... can we try and steer away from statements such as "I killed my baby" ..... it hurts.
 
morning ladies well i have an issue with myself right now and its leaving me tired and drained everyday......i CANNOT sleep at night time :( last night i sat up till 4am yes 4AM then i finally got to sleep and OH woke up crying bless him he had a dream the kids were mulled by 4 dogs he was very VERY upset by it he also said our NEW baby BOY was there too he was very distraught so we was up for an hour till he fell back to sleep then i was up for the LO at 8am im totally shattered :(
but on the upside i have my first MW app tomorrow :dance: and my scan in 8 days YAY YAY YAY, im hoping to sleep early tonight but i doubt it very much :(
i hope everyone is doing well and debs so happy ur now resting i think its about time dont you ;) xxxxxx
 
i was getting worried as my nausea was less than usual, yesterday too...
only to violently puke in the shower today lol...thanks little one haha
 
Just had news that my sister's SIL has had her baby boy, Ridley Joseph. I am so happy for them.. they have suffered a MMC at 12 weeks, the tragic stillbirth of their daughter due to cord accident AND a molar pregnancy.

I am beyond overjoyed for them ... I'm only sorry that baby's grandma lost her battle with cancer before getting to meet him :(
 
:headspin: :happydance: :headspin: Today = 12 weeks (a 2nd tri high five to Meredith too!)

Feeling good, if you ignore the lovely, lovely man that keeps waking me up with his snoring that sounds like a sad cow... I'd rather be sleeping, but at least it gives me a chance to see that 12 weeks ticker for the first time. Only 9 days left until until our next scan... very excited, a little nervous, but mostly plum excited.

Glad things sound like they're calming down Deb, have an overly relaxing go of it for a bit. Happy Tuesday to all!!!
 
^^ happy 12 weeks!!!!
you'll beat your man in snoring once you're at the end of your pregnancy,
my dad told me my mom made sooooo much noise hahahaha
 
Hello ladies,

How is everyone doing today...? Good luck with everyone's scans and congratulations everyone who has hit the 12 week woohoo...!!!!!!

I was wondering what everyone thought of the names Grayson or Morgan...????
