The 'chit chat' thread

this wasn't that big - about the size of a large strawberry i'd say and I seem to have stopped bleeding today.

I had a scan when I got admitted to hospital to see if i'd passed the placenta/after birth as I'd been at home at the time and they didn;t know and the scan showeed that there wasn't anything else inside me so i'm sure it was "normal" just freaked me out a bit as i could feel it coming out and it took me back to that night! Because my 2 were born by c-section I've never passed a clot bigger than a pea before!!

If you've had a scan then i'm sure its just 'normal' (whatever that is :shrug:) I passed alot of clots after Olivia, but the one i'm talking about was HUGE! xx
 
this was big for me iykwim as after a c-section they take everythign out before they close you up rather than you having to pass it like with a natural delivery, so it was only blood and small clots. it was nowhere near the size you were talking of, think if i'd passed one that big i would have been straight down a&e thinking i was dying!!!!!

'Twas pretty scary, was in a hairdressers at the time (my friend booked me in when it was really quiet to coax me out of the house, she was in cohorts with OH) and as I stood i'm I could feel it sliding out, awful! xx
 
Hmmm... I bled for about 3 1/2 weeks, I think. No clots for me though but if I were you, I would definitely go and see the doc if it feels funny. Really don't want infection to settle in.

Nothing new on my side. Still no hardcore preggie symptoms but I think my boobs felt SLIGHTLY heavier last night and now (night time) I think it feels heavier than usual too. :haha: Am I symptom spotting?!?!?!

Also, I got a call yesterday which I missed. It really bothered me and phone rang again earlier! True enough, it was from the hospital - antenatal clinic. The nurse said I had missed my Glucose test yesterday! I paused for a second then I realised she meant for my 1st pregnancy! I said I had cancelled all my appointments 3 months ago when I had my miscarriage. She apologised and sounded really embarrassed. She said for my future pregnancy, I should have this Glucose test earlier at 16 weeks because I lost my son at 16wks+5days. I then told her I am currently pregnant at 4-5 weeks so I am to inform my midwife about this request. I am prone to diabetes because I have PCOS and it's in the family so that's good!

MissMitch - Have you received the results yet? Tried calling the hospitals again?
 
I was diagnosed late in my first pg with gestational diabetes. I then had to be out on insulin which i had to inject myself twice a day!

in my next 2 pregnancies they didn`t test but i managed to diet control which was good, but even with this one i just lost, from 6 weeks i was having to check my bloods 4 times a day .

I have been speaking to someone on here about the specialist i am going to see, sounds more and more like a waste of time! my appoinment is in 5 weeks, they will take some blood and advise 6-8 weeks for results, then you have to see them again, by the time all this has happened i will have gone through the menopause!!

it is sounding more and more like a total waste of time.

No, keep calling and no one seems to know anything, getting so annoyed now xx

Sounds like you're having a b*tch of a time :( xx

Know how ur feeling hun :hugs: my 20 week scan (which I would have been 23 weeks at) was only a few days after I lost Olivia, its absolute shite. Maybe let a little balloon off with a msg attached if you're feeling abit alone etc addressed to LO? Just a thought xxx
 
Thanks hun, its pretty shit having to go thru all these milestones that only a few weeks ago I was looking forward to reaching now everyone is heartbreaking and I feel like I should be ok and I shouldn't be mulling them over and I should be over it and just getting on with things now!
I still can't believe this has happened to be, its one of those things thats nasty and horrible and sad and happens to other people.

Sorry you are having a bad day. i felt exactly the same when i came to the date for my 20 week scan. It is still so early for you, I am always thinking of it and always mulling everything over, i just can`t think of anything else, it consumes me. Some days i get through ok, other days I just keep crying. i do have more good days than bed, but as i said on a post the other week, it feels like two steps forward, one step back. So getting there slowly. however, the thing that is holding me back is the unknown regarding TTC, this would help me to move on so much better if i knew i could try for my rainbow.:cry:

The date for our 20 week scan was the date we laid our LO`s ashes to rest.
i said to DH i should be here finding out what my baby is, not doing this.

i am dreading the due date in June - actual date was june 15th, but all my babies have been early, so i was thinking it would be early june. I soo need to be pregnant again by then, because it will help me through better.:cry:

Miss Mitch - i would keep phoning the hospital about your results, could you contact your docs as well to see if they can chase for you?

i have decided to send the professor i am going to see another email, to see if she can offer me any further advice. It`s 5 weeks today until the appoinment and then it will be another few weeks before we go about the results. i can`t carry on like this.

Dancareoi/yellowyamyam - I have just called the hospital AGAIN, the woman is now on f*cking holiday and apparently no one knows untill when! i'm sorry for swearing but this is so frustrating and cruel, my child is getting treated as if she were never born! She was, and she has a f*cking right to be put to rest with dignity and an answer! AAARRRGGGHHHH!

Wilsmum - So so true, this is 'one of those things that happen to other poor souls' how wrong were we?

All - would we be happy to have out names, baby names, and date of what happened on front page? eg.....

Tayla (MissMitch) - Olivia, born at 21+5 weeks - on 18th January 2012

Just so we can remember dates for eachother etc when we need a pat on the back, words of wisdom?? xx
 
I'm not looking forward to my due date either - I was due by dates on my birthday (16th August) but then got moved to 10th August at my dating scan, baby would have been here around a week earlier as I was going to have an elective c-section so we thought babys b'day would be 2nd August.

that sounds like a very good idea Tayla! Although I have no name and don;t know the sex of my angel.

Don`t worry about it. i did want to know, but that would have meant having a PM. DH didn`t want to know and in a way now, I`m glad i don`t, strange as that may sound.:hugs:
