Here's wishing each and every one of you, a happy and easy going parenting journey after a difficult ride to get there!
Sorry to be a downer in here already but I've had the most scary afternoon. DH and I have spent several hours in the Emergency Department as I started bleeding. Of course I immediately think the worst news ever but I had some b/t's and an ultrasound and my little bub is stickier than ever at the moment. It has grown 2 more mm and now has a heart rate of 117bpm. However just as I started to relax a little bit I've had a bigger bleed. I'm not going back to hossy though. I'm just hoping like mad that I don't get any pain and we'll have our scan next Monday as planned.
I eneded up letting Sage go to my mums. As much as I don't want him to be there I need to get some rest. The DR has ordered me to rest for the next few days. I'm yet to inform my boss that I won't be there tomorrow either.
DH's parents now know that I'm pregnant too. They are so excited.
Oh and my edd has now been adjusted to 10th August.
Mako - Massive hugs... what a terrible afternoon and I'm praying that all is giong to be ok. Things do sound ok and I know sooo many lovely ladies who have bled throughout their pregnancies and still had healthy little bubs. I know it's not going to help you right now though but take the dr advice and rest up. If you start feeling unsure again... just go back to the hospital and so you can put your mind at ease. Please, please, please take care and little bub in there... please continue to be the stickiest little bub ever!!!
mako I had 2 bleeds with E one at 7 weeks and another at almost 9 weeks - New Years Eve last year. I know how stressful it can be but at least you have good news with the scan. I was convinced the pg was over when I had the first one I never had any bleeding with DD1 so no bleeding was normal to me if that makes any sense?
Take it easy OK?
everyone else, specially the ladies I haven't met yet
Mako - how scary, but it sounds like all is going very well after the scan. Sooo many women bleed during their pregnancies and all turns out fine hun, so keep holding onto that thought! Make sure you do take it easy over the next few days too. I hope Sage will be ok at your Mum's, try not to worry about him, who knows, he may be just fine!
Deb - big big sweetie, you really shouldn't be going through all this. I wish there was something I could do for you. I know that you will have a lovely Christmas despite all of this because you will have all your beautiful children with you. They will make it a special day no matter what else is happening sweetie, just focus on them. I think you are an amazingly strong woman and you will get through this.
Spring - how are you going?
BW - wow, I can hardly believe Sam is almost one either, that has gone way too quickly!
megsmum - hi and welcome to the thread! It's great to have you here!
Bek - good to see you pop in, You must be sooo busy with your three gorgeous girls!
Lee - love the pic of Flynn! I have PMed you for facebook so I can see some more!
Sorry, I am a little behind where everyone is at and don't have time to go back and read up on the last thread again, I promise that I did read it, just with my pregnancy brain I can't remember it all! I have had a shocking few days. After thinking DD was sick on the weekend because of drinking the dog's water, it turns out that she must have actually had a bug, as DH caught it two days later. Then, two days after that and feeling exhausted from looking after them, I went and got it! Was sick as a dog yesterday plus had tilers in the house all day which really didn't help, and then the illness brought on the WORST BHs last night. I seriously thought I was going into labour, had the hossy ph no out and everything! I had to rock through them, have a long shower, take pain killers, and eventually they went away and I had a little sleep last night. Feeling a lot better today but utterly exhausted. I have no one to help out with DD at the last minute here but thankfully she was a good little girl all day. I am really looking forward to having a spew free house now!
