How are you Linds?

 

[Aaisrie]

Linds don't be silly!! I'm not gonna throw that on you when I KNOW how you're feeling, I know what you're going through because I've been there and the last thing you need right now is throwing my crap on you, you daft bint!!!! I wonder how much iron smothered chicken has

 

[LunaBean]

What did the hosp say?

 

[EmyDra]

I hope you guys are both ok. It's not a selfish rant - it's really scary. Are they keeping a close eye on you? Is there anyway you can an appointment before next week, what happens now? Just get yourself cozy wee one and stay put x

Oh Lindsay - I hope everything is alright. Sure you've heard it all before about bleeding in the first tri - I did too. Just hoping that it's nothing and all is well x

 

[Aaisrie]

It's my consultant appt that was already arranged. I doubt I can get one sooner as my actual consultant just went off on maternity leave!! Plus the MW couldn't say too much... she kep reiterating that she's not a dr.

 

[NuKe]

long story short, didnt tell me nething i didnt already know bout bleeding in first tri, but still scary as i never had a drop with pops. Have booked me in for a scan on wed neway tho!

Copy and pasting this from my July group:

Some of you might remember me mentioning thalassemia a few weeks ago as one of my blood results had come back low [MCH] and they wanted to repeat my test and test Chris as well as if both of us were displaying signs then Atticus could end up really sick. So we went in last week and I just rang up to get the results and the MW [who was really nice and helpful!] told me there are no recorded MCH results for me on that date but that Chris' are fine. So that's 1 hurdle. Unfortunately my MCH had been done [as a routine blood] when I'd been admitted 2 weeks ago and it was down a further point [the minimum it should be is 27, when I was called for a repeat 3 weeks before my admission it was 25.8] to 24.6 and that my iron levels which should be between 15% - 50% are at 3.2%... she also said my feritin should be between 13-150 and mine is at 5. She said she wouldn't be surprised if I was feeling really lethargic and sick... umm might explain why I've been so much sicker the last few weeks. So then she talked about iron tablets and I explained I was reluctant to take them because I KNOW they make HG sooo much worse and I don't want more hospital admissions because of HG so she said they might be able to give it to me via a drip but I'd have to go to the hospital every 2 days for it [I'd go every day if it meant not making the HG worse] but it's up to the consultant to decide. Basically the real concern is if I go into labour right now because she said both myself and Atticus would be at real risk [and she sounded really concerned when she was saying this] because of both the blood loss and because of sheer exhaustion.... She said if I wasn't so far along it wouldn't be as worrying because they'd have more time to deal with it but being 33w I could go into labour at any time...

Now I'm worried.....

[sorry for the selfish rant]

Its not a selfish at all, i think your probley glad to get it of your chest and ims ure your glad you can share it on here, i hope they sort it out soon and your not worryin to much hun
