[jenny25]

morning everyone sorry not been about much over the weekend with my birthday on sat then aarrons knee swelt up to be honest im still like argh im freaking out that this doctor im seeing on wed the one i seen last week wont refer me to the doctor i want to see , i know i need to go about it as in a 2nd opinion and i cant be refused for that can i specify what doctor i want too see ? have a look at this link girls this is the place i want to go https://referrals.kch.nhs.uk/directory/womens-services/harris-birthright-research-centre/

if you go down and look under clinics it clearly states what they can do its only 2 days until next scan i will be 14 weeks by then and i have realised i have also moved up a box too on my ticker x

 

[Tulip]

I think for a major abnormality they have to refer you to a tertiary obstetric centre, of which Kings is one - they were going to refer us to Kings for a second opinion on Ruby's condition if we demanded one, so I would assume it's the tertiary centre for the south-east. Hope that you can get to see the Prof, or at least one of his minions xxx

 

[jenny25]

Hun can i ask what was wrong with her x

 

[Tulip]

Of course - she had a neural tube defect, where the spinal column didn't close properly. At the bottom end it results in spina bifida but at the top end, where Roo had it, it's called Acrania. The top and back of her skull didn't form, so the amniotic fluid was attacking her brain. We didn't need a second opinion - watching her have seizure after seizure on the ultrasound told us all we needed to know...

 

[jenny25]

awww hun i am so so so sorry i really have no idea hun i wanna give you a big hug x

 

[debgreasby]

Morning ... 1 more sleep till my scan!

 

[Tulip]

awww hun i am so so so sorry i really have no idea hun i wanna give you a big hug x

It's OK hon - she was sent to us and taken from us for a reason xxx

One more sleep Deb - yay! xx

 

[Minimin]

Good luck Jenny! I would call directly and explain you want to see that Prof. You could say you have been recommended by friends/family. I used to work at KCL- the research facility and we were also referred there for our recurrent MC stuff earlier this summer. They can be really helpful and kind. I hope you get your prof!

Epd- thanks hun- It has stopped now- I wonder if it can be cos DH and I BD a while back- then it would be coming back as brown! Thanks babe- all good so far so I am not panicking. I just cant wait until next week for my 20w scan. I may actually start believing.

Debs- good luck for tomorrow!

Hope you are all doing well xxxxx

 

[Chimpette]

Hi Minimin,

I'm exactly the same can't wait for my scan next week, when is yours..? Mine is on weds at 9:30.... can't come quick enough for me!

Keep having this horrid dreams that I'm bleeding, and a couple of them Fatty has been in the toilet, alive and breathing, but still in the toilet.... bizarre...!!!!!

[debgreasby]

You haven't been watching " i didn't know i was pregnant " have you??? those Dreams are horrible

 

[prgirl_cesca]

That show in insane Debs! The girl who gave birth in the bath on her birthday when she already had two kids was mad!

I'm back at work today after two weeks off. It's nice because now everyone knows we're pregnant but of course my MS decides to rear its ugly head before work so I was late!

I'm also FUMING as turns out my manager told one of the assistant managers (who I don't want to know my business at all) I was pregnant ages ago. Not happy at all.

[Chimpette]

I have watched it before, but not lately....

I think it's my mind because I still am on knicker watch, I just can't help myself, I prepare for the worse everytime I go to the toilet... which is propbably why I'm dreaming of things like that....(

It always makes me so sad thinking of her like that. I am glad she is at peace now (I hope you know what I mean by that)

Morning ... 1 more sleep till my scan!

You have no idea how excited I am by that

Grrrr those dreams suck. I had one the other day that I delivered her now - she was alive and they rushed her off to treat her (which they wouldn't at 19 weeks and at Frimley they won't take them under 28 weeks) but by the time I got up there she had gone. It was so horrid.

You are the same as me - wondering how far you will go. Jess was 35 weeks and Maff 34 weeks so I keep thinking I might not have more than 14.5 weeks to go. Thats quite scary

 

[jenny25]

well i have an appointment too see him at his private clinic on wed 12.30 so i have had to change my scan time from 10.30 to 9am at my hospital they have asked me to email them the scan reports and scan pictures so it can be passed to him i cant wait to see him !!! the only thing is now we are paying 200 for this appointment im dreading to know what or how much the surgery will cost i dont know if the fetal medicine foundation would pay for this or not x

I would like to think that if you have an appt with him and he agrees that he can treat Jamie that the NHS can refer you and get it done that way no?

Scary stuff. I spent 12 weeks in and out of hospital bleeding heavily. I had partial abruptions so about a third of the placenta had detached. In the end they decided babies would be better out rather than risking a full abruption so they induced.

What about you?

you girls are like me paul was 24+3 and aarron was 37+3 i wonder what will happen now x

It's weird when your babies have been early to wonder what will happen next time xx

 

[Tulip]

Oh that's great news Jen I hope he can come up with a plan of action for Jamie xx

Happy halfway Lianne! Eeek! xx
