I'm out for a while. See my journal for details. Hope everyone is ok x

 

[RobenR]

Chilli - that is great news and I am happy for you. Thoughts and prayers for you that things go the way you want them to.

 

[Chilli]

thanks Roben - all symptoms are strong again so feeling more confident today.
Don't know how to access your journal squeena but I hope all is well and you will be ok.

Had a terrible day yesterday when dd was taken in to hospital with terrible tummy pains - writhing and screaming all day. Eventually got to see paediatrician at 8pm by which time thankfully she seemed ok again. This morning she's my gorgeous healthy girl again - the worrying never stops! I love her so much it was terrible to see her suffer but i'm so thankful that she is generally very well and we only had to spend 1 day in hospital

Peach- I really appreciate your work to. You truly are amazing. I hope things go well with the scan, i've never heard of that sort of scan, what are they looking for? And how are you feeling these days?

Roben- good to see you!

Chilli- It really is hard not to worry. It took me till some time after 20 weeks to relax and enjoy being pregnant. And then it got hot and I was like i can't wait for this to be over! Summer babies are no fun

Sequeena- Not sure whats going on, but good luck to you with everything.

thaqnks Ladies,
Again a quicky, but good to see the auction going well Peach,
and positive thoughts Chilli, am glad to hear your little girl is ok

Hi to everyone else
AFus: Colic sorted, we are breastfeeding, so giving colief is a bit of a fab, however we are now on baby gaviscon for reflux (that is even faffier!!) after visiting GP for a rash which is eczema... so we are all greassed up too!! the surgery receptionist knows who I am by my voice and Toby's first name only

It is a year tomorrow since we lost Archie, a year today since it was confirmed that we had had a MMC, it has been such a strange year... bittersweet almost....

 

[Chilli]

Thinking of you all today as I lit my candles

 

[bklove]

Thinking of you all to and I'll be lighting my candle for my angels and for all of you, my sisters.

 

[Peach Blossom]

Today would have been the due date for the baby I lost in February this year. It's been an emotional day. I am so blessed to have this healthy pregnancy, but it doesn't take away the pain and loss. We lit 3 candles tonight in memory of our angels. Have been thinking about all of you today and your Angels. Love and hugs to you all. Xxx

 

[Mum2bewaiting]

Isn't it strangethat there are a few of us with significant dates around the same few days...

 

[bklove]

crazy, a friend of mines lost his baby a few weeks before it was due. Its just insane how life works sometimes. They had the room ready, and was suppose to have the shower this past saturday....ughh I feel so bad for them. Everything was fine and then at some point it went into distress and that was it. She said she was feeling less movement, but wasn't sure...I mean I had days I felt little movement to, so I wouldn't know better either....makes me more grateful for what I have and reminds me of what i've lost, even though it can't compare to being ready, and not bringing baby home...they named it heaven.

 

[Peach Blossom]

Bk, your poor friends. My heart goes out to them. How awful. I guess it just shows you how fragile and precious life is.

 

[RobenR]

Chilli - how are things going so far? Any more news?

 

[Chilli]

hey Roben - actually you've caught me on a bad day - my symptoms seem to have all dropped and i'm not 8 weeks til thurs so now I'm worried.
to add to that stupid bloody hospital who are supposed to be making it easier, have sent me a scan for monday when I clearly said I didn't want before 9 weeks and apparently it's more than a bit cahllenging for them to change that!!!??? Grrrr - I ended up in tears of rage yesterday after spending a couple of hours trying to talk to one department than another because they can't talk to each other! Why do't they show a litle bit of sensitivity to how delicate we are feeling?
So I still don't know when i'll get my scan but monday would be too early - I don't want to see a healthy little heart beating and get all my hopes up, only to have it gone the next week again. sorry, bit of a rant!

 

[Peach Blossom]

Chilli It is so frustrating when you get put in to the "system" and your individual needs are not really taken care of. If it is of any consolation to you the risk of mc drops dramatically after 8 weeks. Before then there is no blood flow to between baby and mother, but at 8 weeks blood flow is established. I know it's not a fail safe, I saw hb at 8 weeks for my first angel, but to see the hb on Monday may give you some hope and reassure you that things are progressing ok. Are you sure of your dates? When I went in for my "8" week scan I was actually only 6 weeks so there was a whole load of stress over nothing. It's up to you hon, but I think that seeing baby chilli on a scan might help it feel real.

Something else I can highly recommend is getting some reflexology and reiki! I've had a session every week since my bfp and I think it has really help my body cope with it's invasion! Also it's a nice hour to relax and concentrate on you and only you.

Sending you lots of and hon. I'm keeping everything crossed for you!

I'm 25 weeks today! I was worried about being made redundant before this week, so I'm relieved that now I've reached this marked the HAVE to pay me my SMP! Only 6 weeks til mat leave starts! Can't believe it!

Love and to all you ladies. xx

 

[Chilli]

Wow Peaches - many congratulations! You must be pleased as punch!

I think a scan making it real is what I'm trying to avoid actually - I don't want it to be real until I think it'll be staying. Yes I'm positive about my dates

 

[Peach Blossom]

I know it's tough hon. I think the more real you make it the more positive vibes you can send to your bubs and help him/her stick and grow... That first scan is always terrifying... I almost had to be sedated by OH I was in such a state at the first scan this time, but the feeling of happiness and relief when I saw that hb was a wonderful feeling. Even though I wasn't out of the woods by any means at that point and actually had a progesterone drop of 50% plus spotting the week after, it was good to know that there was an hb on that scan. Hope was a very powerful tool in this pregnancy! Lots of hon. xx
