Hi girls, sorry its been so long! Have been So unwell. Even being on my phone seems to make me dizzy. Going to the doc today. I'm in the uk at my family home, getting looked after. Have put on a tonne of weight just eating and lying around! Its horrible.
Faythe how exciting! Not long now at all! Can't believe we have gone through the whole pregnancy with you!
Sarah I'm glad everything is ok! 3rd time lucky
Moter I hope your resting and looking after your self! Have a good feeling about you.
Pinky, well done on the eBay sales! Amazing! Hope everything goes well with the surgery! God knows you deserve it.

i will get through the bored part. no big deal. it's the stress and being scared every second of every day that gets to me. it wasn't like this at all with DS. not even when i found out about his foot. it's a whole different feeling when you are given a 50/50 survival chance this far along. i would have to deliver this baby at this point, possibly with his little heart still beating. breaks my heart. but, the cramping has stopped so i am hopeful that means the bleeding has stopped. trying to be optimistic and not think so much on what scary things could happen. my first goal is to get this tear healed and go from there.

the pic above is a bunch of the candy bags i made. SIL is bringing me tags to put on them today or tomorrow. it is for her bridal shop. they have a wedding expo on sunday and will be handing them out to everyone that comes.

i had that dizziness too early on. be sure to mention to the dr though as it can mean low blood pressure. try to hang in there. this part will pass, i promise! once you get to second tri you will be able to get back to being more active. you can do this!

They look lovely hun! I wants!!!

I know it must be hard to really relax with all this going and that the 50/50 odds are probably playing around and around a fair bit too, its only natural. But...I think that you actually caught this tear early and there are positives to this situation : You caught it early, theres no more bleeding and cramping is easing. To me, it sounds like things are probably healing. I think they got you on bed rest at the right time, and when you put it all together I think its looking and sounding damn good for a full healing on that placenta! Your perseverance that you werent happy with the technicans analysis were right on...and because of that your doc found out what was going on, got you off your feet and on the road to recovery. Imagine if youd just taken the first docs words for it and just carried on as you were.

I think youre a strong lady Tina. And you also have a strong little boy with Aden. This Rainbow baby of yours is going to be no different. He comes from strong stock and is fighting right along with you He will be fine chick. You both will! xxxxx

i bruise so easy too with blood draws. i find the more skilled the lab person is the less i bruise. did you get results back yet?

Over here, ive found the worst for doing bloods is the doctors..they are so useless cos they always leave it to the nurses to do! Last time a doctor took my bloods when the nurses couldnt get it, she went too deep and hit my nerve with the needle. My arm swung up and twatted her in the face Was funny, she deserved it!! Though wasnt funny when I had random pins and needles in my arm for 6 months whilst the nerve healed

No results till tomorrow But im not too worried about them, I think my numbers will still be doubling and that friday is the important day xx

*tears* thank you! needed to hear that right now. i am of course hoping this heals. that's the first hurdle. then i am high risk for it happening again and preterm labor because of all the blood in uterus irritating it. the dr explained that 2nd tri bleeding worries him because most will have the baby early. he didn't give me happy ending stories...mean dr.....but i plan to take it very easy and do a lot of praying.
it was the bright red blood that prompted me to hound the dr. you can't tell me that that is unexplained. give me a break! thankful for an answer cause the er gave me different instructions than the dr did after that 2nd scan. 2 more days till my dr appt and i am gonna throw a tantrum to get a scan next week!

we have trained lab techs that do it here in the blood draw lab. some are much much better than other. like for my first big blood draw with DS, you know where they take like 6 vials, the tech was new and horrible! it was so painful, took forever, and i had a huge bruise for two months. this time, i had a great tech, he was so fast and i had no bruise, just the vein was more prominent.
boo, was hoping for results today. i'm impatient. i'm sure they are great though. and the scan is going to go perfectly.

I think youll be doing the right thing by staming your legs and feets to get that early scan. Not just for peace of mind that things 1) arent worse 2) showing some improvement, but also because having the reassurance with the scan will promote a more positive outlook when you see your little boy waving away and that things havent got any worse. I think the doctors have not been very nice with how they have handled you and I can understand that emotionally it has really left you in limbo.

Ive always been a believer in a womans instinct is not often wrong. Your fast acting and disbelief in your first opinion has most likely been what has now saved this pregnancy You did a damn good job Tina.

As for the early labour, maybe Rainbow will come early, but even if he does come before his due date I am 1000000% sure that it will be at a time where he is fully capable of screaming his lungs out and pooping all over dad

Way I see it...if this was going to end badly hun, and if the tear was not going to heal, I reckon you would have had a continuation of the bleeding and same symptoms. It sounds like the bed rest is really working and that baby is very happy tucked up in Mummy and has no intention of going any place else for a good few months yet!

I think youll feel better after this next scan I really do. Youve had a big shock with everything thats happened and youre being the nurting and protecting mummy by worrying. It doesnt mean theres any need too though. Youll have baby in your arms at the end of all this.

Two months?! Holy crap that must have been a screwdriver the tech was trying to use that time!!

Im impatient too but I figure if it was in the wrong place I probably would have had some similar symptoms to last time and I havent had any! I know ill only be 5+4 when I have the scan so only expecting to see the yolk sac but at this stage im very happy with that x

 

[sarahuk]

Btw Tina...should be proud of yourself for how youre handling all the extra stress thats on you right now. I know you went through some emotionally draining experiences to get to this Rainbow right here...but this one is for keeps chick. Dont let the worry take you too far under xx

haha! that gave me a good laugh!
the no bleeding isn't an indication of what's going on in there. bright red bleeding would mean for sure active bleeding. but no bleeding can either mean it's now formed a clot-bad-, it's pooled in there-bad, or it's reasborbed-good! only way to know which it is is from a scan. which i damn well better get! i don't think i will be going back to work at all. i would feel like i have the best chance if i stay home and literally go nowhere until this baby is here. i am a part of my cousin's wedding at the end of this month and will have to tell her i cannot make it. hate to miss it and feel terrible about it, but it's a weekend event and an hour and a half away.
on a happy note, i swear i can feel my baby boy kicking me! it feels like little flutters or painless muscle spasms.

thanks! i have to admit i had a big pity party for myself last week. ranting on how it wasn't fair that it took a year and two losses to get pregnant and then this happens. it's not fair,yada yada yada. but, it really has made me look at life itself differently. i appreciate ds SO much more and every little thing he does i cherish. i am in awe how i had him so easily, clubfoot and all.
