KAM - congratulations on the safe arrival of Violet!!!!! Recover well, I am going to check the BA's now. Hope you are enjoying your newborn snuggles.
Miss B - thankyou.
Just an update - on 1 April I had a suspected premature rupture of the membranes. I was hospitalised for 5 days. A scan showed low amniotic fluid. But Raspberry Bear was doing well especially the kidney's. Low liquor can indicate kidney problems with bubs, as by the thrid tri a massive 500ml can be passed by the baby each day!!!! Anyway I was discharged on strict bed rest, but without any sign of infection, or labour starting. PHEW. A subsequent scan has showed the liquor level to have increased slightly, baby still doing well and no signs of any other trouble .
It's been agonising time, relief to get to a gestation where life saving treatment could be offered, and scared witless that we would need it. So far we've managed to eek about another 2 weeks, so bubs is now 29 weeks. I am taking it easy, although I am allowed to do more now. I am still cautious about lifting HB ( who is a healthy 12.5 kgs now). Well that means I don't lift her at all. We are getting used to it now, both of us. I miss my pick up cuddles.
Hope all is going well elsewhere. I am not getting notifications and have to rely on my memory to check in.

Glad to hear all is well Dores xxx

Sky - thanks sweetie. It is a relief that I've eeked out another 3 weeks.... but I have to have some bt's tomorrow as I have the itchies all over, which can mean a problem with my liver enzymes called obstetric cholestatis ( not sure of the spelling). The possible complications sent a deep chill into my little heart. But trying not to get ahead of myself. Just need to tests back first, and then worry or not. How is your lil bear cub going? How are M & S doing as big sisters?
Sigh, this pregnancy caper is so hard.... exciting, but scary. Sometimes I wonder why I was niaive enough to think I could get through either emotionally or to believe we'd get a take home baby. Just the usual worry of a mumma who's walked our journey, nothing in particular.
I have a cat resting on my arms as I type. He came a cropper today somehow and has taken a massive amount of fur from one leg on the inside - from tummy to wrist. And some from behind his back legs. Me thinks he is need of some snuggles and lovin. Only too happy to oblige. :)
Take care.

YAY - good news - 32 weeks, only 1 more week to go until 32 completed weeks... my mini goal. And I don't have that liver enzyme issue - just the itchies, which I will take any day. Still anxious, but that's to be expected. The fur baby is ok too. Licking my arm as I type, which in all honesty is a bit icky.

32 weeks is fabulous Dory :) So happy that you have gotten this far.. What's another 8wks hey!!!
-
Kam - Congratulations on the arrival of Violet sorry its late.
dory - Why can't we just have normal pregnancies? Well done to you for being so strong. Not to long now and RB will be in your arms! 34 weeks now you are coming along so well I hope that everything else is ok. How is HB?
DD has got her first cold :( I hate seeing her the way she is poor wee mite

Thanks TylersMummy
I came in to check how everyone is going and noticed your 35 wks Dory, that's awesome, I can't wait to hear all about your new arrival and it's so close now (can you tell I'm just a little bit excited for you).
-
came in to check on you Dory. I am so happy to see your ticker so close to full term. Are you scheduled for a section or will you try for a v-bac?

Sorry to be awol...
Raspberry Bear is here! Gemma Niamh was born VIA emergency c section on 12 June 2012 ay 10.55 am, 4.115 kg and 53 cm long36.3 hc. She was born at 37+3 but was quite sick. Whilst there have been some amazing improvements she is still unwell.
She is totally gorgeous and I am besotted. She loves her mummas milk and HB adores her baby sister.
-
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I have been checking in occasionally to see how you were going and I just saw this. Congrats, congrats, congrats. So happy that your precious Gemma is here. I am sorry to hear she is unwell and she will be I my prayers. Wishing her a speeding recovery.

Just poking my head in here, after 18mths ttc I got a bfp (anyone who knows me on fb, it's a secret)
-
Dory - congrats on the safe arrival of Gemma beautiful news
Hiya jlk great to see you here :)
-
dory, congratulations! I hope everything is going well. Please give us an update.
Jo!!!!! How exciting!
Klee, glad to see you back in here too!
-
Jo - how you feeling?
Laney - great to see you, how are you and your beautiful boys, they are gorgeous!
You two might be best to ask this, we found out bubs sex yesterday, still not convinced she got a good look, maybe in denial, but I know you both have lost boys and girls (so sorry you have had to go through both xxx) but how did you cope/handle knowing you were possibly having same sex as you'd lost? I mean that as in I am not coping too well and am interested in any strategies/ mechanisms to help, and not at all unhappy with what we're having just scared of it going the same way
-
Oh Klee, I am very excited for you! I wish i had some great advise that will make the next few months easier for you. I was a mess through all of my pregnancies and the only thing that helped was to see my doctor often. He was great about giving me extra visits and scans to help me relax. I think having all boys did make things a tiny bit easier for me. After i had one i knew that my body could do it. I'm sure if i had been pregnant with another girl it would have been like starting all over.
we are doing well over here. Adjusting to life with 3 little ones has been an adventure. I feel like things are finally starting to settle down. We decided that our family is complete and that was very difficult for me. I am starting to feel better about it and trying to really enjoy every minute with my boys.
-
Klee, I found more that I was more upset that I wasn't having a boy after losing Finn, maybe because he was the last one we lost or because I have so many girls I'm not sure, :/
Am doing ok, not many symptoms are doing my head in, I have very sore boobs and am tired but not much else :/
-
Jo - sore boobs and tiredness and still good symptoms, most of mine didn't kick in til 6 weeks this time, so maybe case for you too, here's hoping xxx
Laney - your doing an amazing job with your boys I bet it took a bit to adjust to having them so close too. I know you would have loved another girl but also know that you wouldn't have it any other ways with your three boys xxx
Thanks ladies, I've decided to see a psych this time to see if that helps, didn't need one with other two but I've been emotional since 6 weeks with this one and it's been showing, so was also referred to one. I am happy to be having a girl, just nervous is all, been suffering headaches, tiredness and dizziness and just finding it a real struggle but got o try and enjoy it somehow
-
I am really hoping I can enjoy this pregnancy this time too, I hated the whole thing last time, I was so bloody anxious
