Sally - thanks for the words of support. It is hard to explain to others, and lots of my friends are not parents as well so they understand even less.
Thanks TK and Heavenly Mumma. Little K was quite a size for her gestation.
My feelings (the anxiety and envy) about pregnant friends are made worse as a close and pregnant friend has asked for a c-section for no medical reason (she does not want to go through labour) and it upsets me. I suppose there are psychological reasons as well though. I never got a chance at going in to labour and I do not understand her decision. Less than an hour before her birth, I woke up and discovered that I was lying in lots blood, had not felt a thing, not what I had imagined at all. Dd's heart beat was very low when they got the machine on to it. Then a chunk of my placenta came out. Talk about panic. Once of the midwives was half lying on my body to stop me shaking so much. I did not know if little K would be alive after the emergency c-section.
Goodness, I started out good this week but ended up not so good.
Sorry everyone. Will go and have a bath with DD and cheer up. DH gets home at 7.30 and that will help. Gues it does not help that she is teething - BUt still no teeth!!! Anyway i will be fine.
Hey Shaz
I remember how hard itwas when Charlie was in the hospital and one of our best friends was pregnant. It was terrrible being soooo jealous of her pregnant belly and the fact that her baby was safe and sound while our little baby was struggling soo much. It's such a mix of happiness for her that she was getting her long awaited baby, grateful that her little girl WAS safe and pure, raging, green eyed jealousy that she got what we didn't have.
Hugs for your bad week
Just got home from having Tristan weighed, at 10 months (+ 8days *giggle*) he weighs in at 7260 grams (up 220 grams in a month) he is now 70.5cms long (up 3cms in a month) and his head circumference is now 44.5cms.
For weight he is still WELL below the charts, for height he is back up to just above the 10th %ile and for head circ he is now just above the 10th %ile.
We discussed some options and rather than see a paed we are going to see a dietician first. I have some things to fill out including a food diary.
He has also been referred onto one-on-one speech as apart from the very random very rare "mum-mum" he is not babbling or making any noises.
Discussed Brendan's behavioural issues and CHN is going to get onto Brendan's new OT for me. But she said it's probably best to wait for the paed appt for now, which is in 2 weeks.
I got myself referred to physio too, not sure on the wait, but hey it's free!
So all up it was a constructive appointment, I'm very pleased with Tristan coming back up the graph for height and head circumference, just hoping his weight will follow soon too.
hi ladies, i thought i might join this group if thats ok. i had a premmie son at 34+3 weeks due to placenta previa and bleeding.
i have just read some of the posts and shaz i know how u r feeling. my friend is pg and is now 37 weeks and i recently went to her baby shower. there were other pg girls there and they were all talking about contractions and labour and going overdue. i was the same as u and i wasnt allowed to go into labour. i feel envious and in some ways jealous that they get to experience all of this. i thought it was me being silly and selfish and something was wrong with me but now i know that i am not the only one.
DS is currently asleep so i thought i would check out this forum. it would be nice to get some support from other premmie mums as they know what i went thru and am still going thru
