[Widger]

How lovely to come on here and see the great news for the angel mums.

Babycakes - Congrats on your new arrival. Wow.... what a quick labour. Just out of interest, how long was it the first time?

Chilli - I'm glad your OH is going with you on Thursday. Remember... you will be that happy person coming out of a scan for once. I just know it

Rebaby - Congrats on your pregnancy too. I'm really happy for you and will be keeping an eye on things xx

PB - D had reflux and was on gaviscon. I had a real trouble trying to get him to take it for a start and when he did it made him miserable with constipation. Arrgghhh. So frustrating. In the end I only gave him it once a day and it seemed to help a little. Some days I didn't at all. I couldn't count the amount of times I'd have to change his/my clothes... in the end I didn't bother with me Anyway, it seemed to sort itself out around 4 months. I know a bit of a way off for you but I hope it happens for you too. Any questions then ask away and hope I can help xx

My baby boy is 9 months old! I can't believe it. He's into everything, crawling so fast now. I never forget how difficult it was for him to arrive and feel so blessed to have my special little boy xxx

 

[Peach Blossom]

Aw, Widger I can't believe he's 9 months!! We went to baby massage and yoga today which seems to have helped Lili not vomit! Yay!! We also went to the doctor and he's preacribed Donperidone so we'll see... I thought he said Dom perignon at first and was a bit confused how champagne would help!!

 

[Baby-Cakes]

Wow Widger 9 months already?! I was 14hrs with my first, turned into the devil and had every drug under the sun! lol. This time just gas and air, didn't scream once OH was very pleased xx

Congrats Rebaby sending lots of xx

Thinking of you today Chilli xx

 

[Widger]

Well 'active' labour for me was 14 hours I think, but that did not include the two days beforehand where I was in agony and no progress at all argghhhh. I'm just asking as it appears that many have a 2nd and baby just plops out Your first little boy looks so happy xx

PB - You had me in stitches I could do with a glass or two of that

Chilli - I'm going to keep coming on today to see your news. Thinking of you xx

 

[Chilli]

Mmmm - not sure about that perscription Peaches!

9 months - time flies!!!!!

All good today - 2 days out but consultant said no worry as could just be the angle at this stage it's so small but he's very happy with the heartbeat and same ordeal next week - phew - can sleep now. And had external scan which was great as had nightmare about being left alone with internal hanging while doc took OH into other room for a chat - yuk!

 

[RobenR]

Hang on a minute... Roben are you pg too?!!

 

[RobenR]

Yes Peach, I am. We found out on Saturday, total surprise, I didn't even suspect since I've been away for a month and home only for a few weekends, so we totally missed the window or so I though. DH knew before I did!

[RobenR]

I'd forgotten how much I hate morning sickness...

Rebaby too? Awesome! Peaches, if you want to start trying for #2 have at it! That could be fun! (kidding!)

 

[Chilli]

Damn it - bleeding again this morning - why can't things just give me a break? I was just starting to believe

 

[RobenR]

Chilli - any update? How are you doing? Did things work out for you? Thoughts and prayers heading your way.

 

[Peach Blossom]

Aw Chilli, are you still on the progesterone? Ask them to check your levels again. I was bleeding for 12 weeks with Lili... Hoping all is ok with you. Big xxx

 

[Tink1o5]

Hope all is Ok with you and LO Chili. Sending my best wishes

 

[Chilli]

Thanks everyone - I have a scan in the morning tomorrow so will know more then. I didn't know you had so much bleeding Peach - how did you survive the stress? I haven't had my prog levels checked at all but was put on sups as a precaution - what would be the benefits? It's strange because the bleeding is very much like I get before AF these days - couple of days of brown watery stuff so veryu possibly prog related. I'll let you all know how we get on tomorrow

 

[Peach Blossom]

Progesterone is what the corpus luteum release to tell the body that you're pregnant. In a normal cycle when it stops producing progesterone your body knows to shed the lining of the womb. My levels dropped by half and I had to fight my doctor tooth and nail to get the Cyclogest! I had varying degrees of brown and red bleeding at one point almost a flow. It was stressful, but I paid for a private scan at the height of my anxiety which set my mind at ease! Also remember that implantation continues until 26 weeks so the bleeding could be a bit of implantation. Or another possibility is that it's a bit of blood from the corpus luteum which is also normal. Try not to stress too much. Have a nice relaxing day. Have a bath, at 37 degrees no hotter, and put some lavender and tea tree oil in it. Take a few moments to close your eyes and visualise your LO being nourished and safe in your womb. Try visualising where you think the blood may be coming from and asking your body to stop now. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Let us know asap how things go. Big big xxx
