    Good Morning everyone

    Hopefully everyone is still baking away nicely after the weekend!!!

    Welcome tk, lovely to see you here hun, I have 3-4 friends who all had PE/HELLP with their first bubbas and wonderfully all of them have made it to FT with future pregnancies, there was a lot more monitoring, very regular BP checks, growth scans etc and protein checks. The good thing about PE is that it is rare that you get it in subsequent pregnancies unless you have a new male partner, so hopefully when the time comes and you feel ready to try again, you will have a much smoother pregnancy. GD isn't a neccessarily a definite either another firned who had it in her first didn't have it in her second pregnancy and is passing the gestation of her first bub of 32 weeks at the moment and still looking great!!!

    Fears are completely normal, DH and I were talking with friends about it on the weekend and for a long time we didn't think we would try again but eventually you feel ready and take the plunge as such

    Great news on the BLS Mamaspice, hopefully they keep in the good ranges and you can skip the insulin Make the birthing decision that you feel you can achieve, do you have specific fears about VB, maybe we can talk some of them through

    Welcome ButterflyForever! I am so sorry for the passing of your sweet little angel Wonderfuly news on the HB and perfect growth of bub. I hope all goes well with your cerivx and scarring.

    black_rose, I hope the BH's have settled down, and goodluck for you appointment tomorrow,, and woo hoo you are at DD's gestation today!!!!!

    Crumpet, I hope the cramps have settled for you, great to hear the Progesterone is doing it's thing, will you be continuing them throughout the pregnancy?

    csab, I had that feeling for quite a while as well, I would also get it around AF time and it was horrible, so I completely understand what you are going through there.

    DD is also on Ventolin up to 6 puffs every two hours, Flixotide morning and night and Prednisolone, without this mix she would have had a couple more admissions this year already, and if we miss one dose of the Flixotide gets very wheezy. We had a close call a couple of weeks ago and called the locum out and also had constant visits to the GP to get her through, but made it even with a traecheal tug (a sign of repisratory distress), I had a feeling the tug was mild enough that we could cope with it. We can't take her out in the cold for very long, as it just hits her too hard. She had another year or so to go before her lungs have grown enough for it to be less of an issue, DD's right lung isn't inflated fully so it doens't work to it's capacity. But it makes it a lot easier since we have had a diagnosis, we have a better action plan and we know what to look for in forms of respiratory distress and know when to take her into the ER.

    AFM ~ Very bust weekend with family down for DD"s birthday, we a lovely weekend, I tried to rest as much as possible, but it was tricky... Got through without any BH's until a few last night, but they didn't last for long and weren't as intense as Thursday so I felt okay with them. Get my test results either this afternoon or tomorrow, haven't even been thinking about them we have been so busy. I think my mum and MIL will be down in the next week or so to help me decorate DD's new room, as we will be moving her into a bigger room and her room will be for Flicker. And I really want to get pictures hung on the walls and a few other things sorted out.

    Must go and invoice and write a construction specification - yay
    Belly rubs all xxoo
    I feel that I need to get all sorted now I really want to be much more organised this time

    Butterfly forever - Hi and welcome, I hope your pgcy goes well for you, and there arent too many probs. hugs

    Crumpet - I hope all is going better for you today, if it happens again hun, make sure you see your Dr. hugs

    Beema - Yay for the all clear with your results, what a huge relief. Ohh poor N, It seems we are going along a very similar road, with our little ones. Thankfully though V is only on the ventolin and the flexitide 2 times a day 2 puffs each time. If she starts to get worse though like as you said the Tug, we need to increase it. We were also told if she needs less than 3 hourly with 6puffs a day she needs to go back to emergency. So I keep monitoring her. She has her dietiician tomorrow. How was little N's Birthday? I hope the cold whether eases up for her, poor little thing, must be hard on you too. hugs

    Blackrose - Thanks hun, sorry to hear you all have asthma. I spoke to the Endo Dr today and he wants me to go in and see them tomorrow. hugs

    Well have still been getting very bad headaches, and some are very quite hard to get rid of. I woke up with another one today, so it has been everyday, yet thankfully I got rid of it. Anyway spoke to the Hospital clininc who got the Endo Dr to call me back, they dont think that the headaches are from the meds for the thryoid, but want to check for other causes, so now I have to go back to see them tomorrow morning so they can check BP and other possible causes. So yay for me,(not) another several hours waiting at the hospital and the dieticians as well for Little V. I have been there every week so far. It will be good when I dont have to go as often. hugs all.

    Hope everyone is going well, look after yourselves and your bubs. hugs

    Have updated my sig, I am 33weeks on Wed, but still getting there!

    Mammaspice I had a VBAC with GD so let me know if you have questions, I was going to have an elective CS if I got past 38 weeks though as my ob did't want dd to get too big.

    TK, you will know when you are ready, BB is a great source of information and for support. An you will be well prepared when the time comes.

    Beema glad to hear the BH have settled down and on that you got the all clear on the test results. IKWYM about being organised I have been the same as well. Yayy on getting the new room for DD all done up, she will feel all special when she moves.

    Crumpet maybe it was just everything stretching again, I have had it happen a few times with all the preg.

    Csab good luck with the appointment tomorrow.

    aFM I am very tired 'and achy but I reached my mini goal of taking DD1 to Disney on Ice, lots of fun too she was a well behaved little girl.

    happy 33 weeks hun!!!

    ive hit 14weeks today, am lagging behind u girls!!

    yep i think ur right, i think it was everything moving and shaking in there, and as for the "gunk" im assuming the moving and shaking might have stirred up the placenta.....
    but the bood news is no more excitment here!!!

    thats fantastic hun!! did DD love it?? i cant wait till wormette is old enough for that sort of thing!! probably should get her here safely first!!! lol.....

    hope everyone else is travelling along ok with no excitment!
