The official cerazette missing period support thread!! *NAME CHANGE*

[annanouska]

Can't wait to see the house!

I didn't know that Betty i keep being told by nursery he should be

He just keeps himself out the way and likes his own space

Feel a bit frustrated today, just don't know why we are going through all these appointments when he's so young I just sort of feel its all to much. I know its best to monitor and check I'm just bored of it all.

He looks so different ATM he has this funny quiff on his hair.

Hope you are all enjoying the sun. Andrew was up all night coughing and Marcus was up from 5 so feel zombie mum today.

I think it's important to remember that although they are little and there are things that textbooks say they 'should' be doing at x stage.... They are human and we are all different! If an adult was happy to sit in a coffee shop alone with the paper people would be saying they shouldn't be or that it's abnormal!

Marcus is just fine with his own company and like I said at his age it's normal that he doesn't play 'with' other children! So don't go stressing yourself about that too!

As for all the appointments surely it's your prerogative to withdraw investigations if you don't think it's necessary :shrugs:

Just an update...


Salt assessment went a little worse than anticipated. Based on his regressed level where has Been for some months he is between 12-14 months behind for speech and communication

The salt lady suggested his play was behind too but not sur that's her remit to advise really?

She wants to leave him under care of his paediatrician and a speech lady will be coming to our house. We are on a waiting list for sign a long which may be around September. I'd like to start sooner but can't find much about it.

Somebody will be going to his nursery to see how they can help

Autism was mentioned again, I'm frightened tbh. Although he's behind he's still funny and animated I'm afraid he will loose it all and become distant and vacant but I've not masses of experience with autism so I know it does vary

She gave us leaflets they were very pointless as ey all had activities that need the child to have atleast some words, nothing to help him who can say daddy and hiya

I'm feeling much more positive today, its all stepping the right way just wish in laws would be more supportive.

We have read some books today, amazing he usually can't sit still for them and gets angry.

I have lots of nice lines of toys at the moment, I move them around if he's not here just to annoy him! He gets quite anGry about it but gives you this look like hey you stop messi g with my stuff!

He's like little stewie griffin when he has the stare on its funny.x

 

[betty14]

I know it's easy to say and not to do but try and not be frightened, try not to read too much on the internet because autism is majorly different from child to child, Marcus might not be all that changed by it, all you can do is wait and see, there is plenty of help available, you can't change what is so enjoy Marcus because they grow so fast you don't want to look back and have spent his early years being frightened by something you can't change

Autism is just a different way of bringing a child up and you will adapt fine. So many autistic children are super clever they just have their ways. Lining up toys is one of them, they like routine. You will learn his ways as he grows =o)

I'm feeling a little fed up at the mo. Really fed up with the whole mentorship stuff. Did not for a minute think it would be an issue. Having the portfolio passed is frustrating because had i done the non accredited it would be done but because i was stupid enough to think i would work towards my degree i'm now stuck with failing! I know I'm pretty dumb but having minimal feedback which just criticises my grammer and referencing makes me feel so stupid and makes me wonder how i passed my Midwifery in the first place! Completely irrational i know but it's playing on my mind. I asked an ex Midwife who i know who works at the Uni about the marking and she said 2 lecturers mark it so they obviously agree on my mark. Not so sure about asking for a re mark and i really don't wanna do it again thats even if i get a 3rd go!
Ahhh anyway enough of my moaning.

Been a lovely few days here but forgot how tired you get sitting in the sun doing nothing!

How long until the new bumps?

[annanouska]

I can't understand it either sam

It's been glorious here too, had the water table out which he loves and went to the little farm. He was so good and gentle with them all. He kept pulling grass to feed them as he can't manage to hold the seed stuff very well.

I'm a lot more positive now just need mil to not belittle me and countless specialists all the time

Barbie is coming to see me Wednesday (hv). It's not for Marcus its to talk with me regarding his first report from the paediatrician not too sure I'd imagine its protocol to check your not unhinged and traumatised or something I'm hoping maybe she knows things we may get support with....all for a bit of help these days if I can.

I need to get my huge arse into slimming gear I dunno what's up with me but ever since pregnancy I can not get on the wagon. I think its time as some days I'm up before 5 and can't settle him until 8 Ish. If he has a nap I have to get jobs done so I skip meals don't eat right then binge on weird things and run out of time to coom happy days

Hey hey. Just checking in.

George had bloods taken a few weeks ago to check for the most common gene of noonan syndrome. This will take a few months for results. So just a waiting game. Although if it says yes he has it it doesn't really tell us anything. Just gives an excuse as to why he may be behind with things.

We have portage coming to see us next week, to talk about developmental play. I really hope they are good as it is die thing I am interested in.

Hope all are well

 

[annanouska]

good news on portage. We don't qualify as he goes to nursery 2 full days how did the bloods go? Marcus was calm fr his I was more worried

I kept quiet as was just me posting x

 

[sara15h1986]

He cried a little with bloods but generally was quite good x

 

[betty14]

Sorry Anna I check in a few times a day but your post didn't show till sarah posted :shrugs:

Sarah glad you will have it confirmed one way or the other, then at least you should be able to get so a help for him

Anna love the video of Marcus dancing! Such a cutie pie! He is looking very grown up now too! Xxx

 

[pink23]

Hi ladies I'm still here so annoying when I'm on phone to post. I'm still only seizing consultant every 4 weeks and next scan is 20thjune . Will be 35 weeks the so hoping I will get a date booked in then . This pregnancy has been pretty good this time around ��.
Esmae and caleb are doing well, rang hospital to see if they had cals op date which will be 28th June so before baby is here which I'm glad about .
Finished work now which is nice but do miss the me time lol xx

 

[annanouska]

Betty FB does that to me where to doesn't show very annoying!

Pink, its goi g to quick very exciting.

I'm wondering if baby kix is here or will be soon

Next week is a big week for us. M has his hearing test Wednesday which I'm not too worried over the. He is at the big children's hospital on Friday. Bit more nervous over that but ok with it all. That *should* be it until he has a review in July with consultant. Things are up and down with him, he's a normal lovely little boy but does go about things a bit different.

I'm struggling ATM with the cats. He leaves the girl cat alone she's more aloof and only fuss full on her terms but he adores our boy cat I had to work really hard on gentle hands etc but past few weeks he's gone backwards. He is bei g very rough with him and this morning. I had to grip hi so hard to prize his hand off his leg I don't want to rehome them but I'm so afraid of him hurting th boy cat. He does have places to hide to, he's just stupid

Hello ladies!

Sorry I've been MIA! Sadie is now 6 months old and doing really well.

The last few months have been full of hospital appointments for her, she has been diagnosed with torticollis so she's had scans and physio. She's getting on fine with it although you can still see her head tilt it is getting better.

We've been introducing solids over the last few weeks and apart from banana she likes everything.

I've also been combi feeding her as I'm back to work in July and don't want to stress about expressing (it's not practical in my job).

Sinn x

 

[Samie18]

Im lurking but don't have much to say as nothing much happening here =o)

We're of to the parents Weds for a few days. I wanted to go abroad but Chris booked loads of work in so hol will have to wait until Sept.

Hope all are ok and all apts go well

xx

 

[betty14]

Anna hope Marcus' appointments go well this week, please let us know how he gets on!

Try not to worry about the cats they wouldn't let him hurt them seriously, Daisy pulls mine about all the time because they are too stupid to move lol!

Sinn nice to see a post from you, sorry to hear about your little one, will the physio cute it totally or will she need further treatment? Are her hips ok?

Samie where are you going to on hols? Have you booked one or planning it?

Pink can't believe how fast it's going! So glad you're doing so well too hope cals op goes well too

Not much going on here I've been busy making bits for a sale I'm doing soon, I've made about 90 hair bows/bands!

Hi girls,

This post may go wonky often does on my phone!

Hearing test today fine no issues at all, slight fluid in one ear but not much to be bothered with apparently a lot of people have a little.

He was very upset going there it was a strange place etc but he soon seemed better. We have a speech therapist and early intervention team coming to us at home next week x

 

[betty14]

Glad his hearing test went well Beth, what do the early intervention team do?

Xxx

 

[annanouska]

Not a bloody clue Betty they just rang and said they were coming! Se mentioned something about speech therapy In there too but no idea.

Do any of the tots put odd stuff in their mouths? Crayons pebbles etc? He is always doing it and leaves them in. I'm not sure if its a std thing or a quirk. It's annoying gt no xx
