TTC and Beyond!

Just had a hospital midwife ring to cancel my consultant appointment next week. The midwife who rang has well upset me. Said to leave it until after the 18th scan and then book in with him. She said "if" I make it that far and that if I'm going to miscarry then there's nothing they can do. She also said that she didn't want me to wait until the 12 week scan to find out about a missed miscarriage. FFS, way to make a pregnant woman feel worse :cry:
 
Happy 5 months Alia!

Bb, sorry she lacks tact! Ugh! Everything is ok though!!

You ladies who BF and pump are amazing!

Katrina, glad hubby is going. Hope you get your BFP this cycle and all that isn't even needed!

Afm, 24 weeks finally! V-day! Yay! Such a relief, that's for sure. Ready for my scan Tuesday to see him again.
 
Happy v day Sandy!
Bb how insensitive. What a jerk.
Yep Dh is pretty fantastic. Lol
 
Happy v day Sandy!

Sorry bb about your nasty call

So the last 2 days were DHs first long days with Ellie alone...I got home last night and he was pissed off and frustrated bc she had been crying for 2 hours. I went through the list of what could be wrong and he was just getting more mad. He said he fed her a couple times in those 2 hours but was only giving her 2 oz bc earlier she wasn't finishing the whole bottle. Well she isn't used to getting bottles all day long. Not to mention, getting bottles causes gas and he didn't think to give her gas drops. Anyways or gave her some gas drops, nursed her, and she was fine. He said he couldn't do "this." He was trying to get things done that he needs to do on his days off but couldn't bc she had a needy day. So all I did was cry bc I felt and still kind of feel like I'm married to someone who can't hack it as a dad or doesn't want to. So I arranged for my friend to watch her on Monday and told him this morning and he said no and that he was fine to watch her. I'm still going to have her watch Ellie though. I know that they need to figure out their groove but I don't think he is cut out to do 14 hour days by himself. Plus I think she is used to mommy. I told him to put the shirt I slept in on his chest but he wouldn't. I could literally slap him right now. And to top it off I had a dream that he was cheating on me and I caught him. Then he handed me his wedding band and said we weren't married anymore :cry: I think we need a date night....
 
Thanks ladies. :)I it's such a relief!

Rachel, I'm sorry. How stressful for all of you! I hope they get a groove soon!
 
Ok slight freak out.. I was looking online at my appointment for next week to see when it was, when I saw a new test result which was my ultrasound. Apparently I have a low lying placenta, which when I googled it said was placenta previa.. no sex, no exercise, bed rest, etc. Pretty much freaking right now! I had that with my son but didn't know until after. I e-mailed them. I'm hoping they reply today!
 
Rachel- sorry sorry DH is being difficult! Maybe he feels inadequate because you calmed her right down, and he's frustrated. Still, no reason to say he can't handle it, becuase he has too. I'm sure it takes awhile to get into the groove, and i'm anticpating the same issues because DH will be alone with Harper when he picks her up from Daycare for almost 2 hours until I get home. It doesn't help that i'm a huge control freak, and i'll worry that he's not doing something right.
 
I called to.talk to the nurse, but only got triage. They were like blah blah blah. It was worthless. I.will be complaining Tuesday for sure. At least look at my chart! Or just let me talk to the ones I ask for!
 
Thanks girls. He's better today but I'm still irritated. I'm sure he does feel a little inadequate but that's his partly his fault. He's had 3 months to figure it out. Granted he hasn't been alone with her for 14 hours before, but I think he thought it was "easy." Actually I know he thought that. Hopefully he has even more respect for me now lol.

Sandy - I had that and they didn't tell me till 26 weeks when they scheduled another u/s to check the position again. By then it had moved up. As you progress, your placenta should move higher up. But had I found out sooner and didn't have follow up set up, I would've questioned it too.
 
Hey girls... I'm admitted and got induced a couple hrs back... Contractions r coming in slightly more painful now so well c... Keep me your your positive thoughts
 
SONIA!!!! So excited for you!!!! Can't wait to see that beautiful baby girls face. FX that everything goes as smoothly as possible and that little Sarah is here soon!! EEEK!

Rachel- Sorry about DH. I agree that he was probably overwhelmed and then a bit embarrassed/ashamed when you gained control of the situation so quickly! Lol. Probably kicking himself in the ass like "Why didn't I think of that?!" haha. I don't think they realize how much work taking care of a baby is until they're left alone to fend for themselves. I think Kevin and I will probably have quite a few moments like that. As for the dream :hugs: I've had vivid dreams all of my life and the nightmares can ruin your entire day because they seem so real, despite knowing when you wake up they aren't.

Katrina, so glad your DH is so sweet and supportive. Hoping you get some more insight at your appointment. In the mean time- i'm chart stalking!!

BB- what an insensitive woman! UGH. I wish I could slap her right now. You're 8 weeks!! (I think, over in the UK it's tomorrow already right? Lol) That's a huge milestone in itself!!!! <3 <3 <3
 
Yayyyy Sonia!!! So excited for you!! Good luck momma!! Xo

Rachel- it is very frustrating and you're right, they really don't get it.
I told DH the other day that even if he took her for a full 9 hr day he wouldn't understand what five 9 hour days in a row is like!! Hopefully this will encourage him to be a little more hands on! Kay definitely started showing signs of preference for me two weeks ago and hubbs was very discouraged, I told him the only way to present it was to spend more face to face time with her! She prefers me bc I talk to her for 9 hours a day, duh! :) Theyll learn!
 
I think he feels bad bc I was leaving for target when he got home and he grabbed her car seat and brought her inside with him. I guess he just got overwhelmed. He's been holding her and fed her since he's been home.

Katrina I hope this is your month!

Go Sonia!
