BAL - I can't say it better than Miss B..... hugs.... and bed rest isn't as bad as you might think ( from one who survived it!). Give your button the biggest belly rub for me!.
blessed, i am thinking of you. I am glad the stitch is doing its job.
I am just sitting around worrying until my next scan. I am trying to keep myself busy but I still find time for the negative thoughts. At the 17 week scan we found out that Parker and Shelby were not doing well. I feel like this pregnancy is going fast. I can't believe that it is time for the scary scan already.
Laney, just remember how you were freaking out the last two pg with your boys, and you've made it with flying colours hun!! So you will also get there with this precious pg. The docs are addressing the issues with the blood meds, so you know you and your bubbie are being looked after well. Try and enjoy your pg hun!
Blessed, hope you're resting nicely hun and your cervix is behaving itself!
Sorry for the delay in posting but things have been hectic! On Friday 12th August at 6:05am, Ben William Thomas arrived after a 5 hour posterior labour. Quite a painful experience but as he arrived safe and healthy I don't care how much pain I was in. He's gorgeous and looks a lot like his brother Josh.
He was 3.49Kg, 48cm, 35cm Head and is feeding and settling well. I ended up back in hospital (hence my delay in posting) with severe mastitis but we got home last night after a two night stay and I'm recovering, although feeling very wiped out, hormonal and lethargic. To be expected I guess.
Just wanted to let you all know and I'll continue to pop in to offer support in your journeys. XOX
Powelly - Massive Congratulations on the arrival of Ben!! We have been waiting .. I hope you recover well and enjoy being at home with Bub
Laney - I know what you mean about being anxious for scans.. I was really anxious before my 19wk scan because that was when things went bad with the twins.. I think it's normal to feel that way. Thinking of you in the coming weeks.
Hi Dory, Miss B, Skybie, Lysndan..
AFM - I have been visualising this baby coming home with me and I am also taking some natural supplements to boost my immunity, and calcium magnesium to calm the uterus..
Although I am feeling positive, today is a milestone because according to hospital dates I'm 20wks, so if anything were to happen I know Bub would be registered. Next milestone - 24wks.. Before I know it I'll be 36wks and meeting my baby!
Congratulations Powelly on the arrival of your precious son Ben!!!! I love his name, Ben William Thomas, it's got a really nice ring to it
Sorry to hear about the mastitis, but I'm glad you're on the road to recovery. Big hugs and enjoy your lil man!
Blessed, this baby will come home hun, have some faith! Relax and read up on all the current goss hehehehehe
Hi
I lurk now and then to keep an eye on you girls and just had to pop in to say a big congrats to Powelly on the safe arrival of little Ben!! I feel your pain on the mastitis - I got it 2 days after Gabe was born (before my milk was even in properly, go figure ) and ended up spending 2 nights with a drip running multiple drugs through me. Not fun Good to hear you are now home though -enjoy your special newborn time as it really does go so fast!
Laney, wow I can't believe you are already so close to the scary scan time!! Will you be finding out what you are having at the same time? Just keep looking at your 2 healthy boys and remember that you have done it before and it can be done! Before you know it you will be holding this little one safe in your arms and maybe buying some pink clothes too...
Blessed, sorry to hear you didn't have such a good scan. I am a stitch girl but never had any opening or funnelling with my cervix during scans; just shortening with my pg with DD that landed me in hospital on bedrest for 3 weeks. Keep thinking of the positives and try and rest as much as you can. I always found my cervix changes happened the most between 19 and 23 weeks and then after that it was pretty smooth sailing. Right now this time will feel like hell on earth and the LONGEST weeks in your life but you can get through it.
Hi to everyone else and looking forward to lurking some more and seeing some maybe good news from Miss B and Dory soon...?? hehe
