Beema,
Great news your little one is looking strong.
take care,
It all sounds really positive V!!! We'll be with you all the way :)
That's fantastic news!!!! Things are looking up!
All the best
xoxo
I like the sound of that! :lol: She's a keeper!:
All the best and I hope it's all good for the next 7-8 months! :grouphug:
Great news Beema, so glad the little Flicker is fighting on and is doing well.
Take care hun!
Beata x
beema im so glad to hear that the u/s went well. your OB sounds like an angel! that other OB maybe go preggo-rage on her? your 'normal' OB has the faith you'll go full term- so go with that. that other OB tell her "sorry i dont listen to sad statisics, thats not good for me OR MY FULL TERM BABY!" :hug: you're a strong women.
Great news Beema :hug:
Great to hear Vic :hug::hug:
That is such good news! And I am glad you have started a stash of scan pictures - they are so special. Wishing you a totally uneventful, yawn yawn pregnancy from this point onwards. All strength to Flicker!! :hug:
Fantastic news Beema. I'm sorry for your loss of Flicker's twin but am so happy that Flicker is growing. I hope everything is stress free from now on and you can start really enjoying this pregnancy xx
It sounds very positive which is fantastic! I hope flicker continues to go from strength to strenth!
Yay Beema! :) I would liked to have come in here earlier to hear your news - I have been thinking of you lots :hug:
I'm happy that your OB was so reassuring, and competent, and understanding and most importantly POSITIVE about things. It's wonderful to hear that little Flicker is growing and developing and has a beautiful strong heartbeat continuing to grow - this is the best news.
I hope that things continue to settle down and that things get a little easier now. Flicker needs lots of calm, happy vibes and a calm and well Mummy to do all his/her growing, especially to become big enough to go home for all the cuddles he can handle and more from day 1...
:hug:
me either! I don't usually get feelings about babies unless it's my own! For some reason it's really strong!:
And it will be a little princess and I will look stupid :lol: and remember why I never get feelings :redface:
Oh Vic, such fab news that little Flicker is growing well.
If you can try and take it that little bit easier in these next few weeks.
xxoo
Glad to hear your appointment went well. :hug:
Beema, I only just saw this thread and wanted to add some more :hug: for you. I'm glad that your last appt went well and that you have a supportive ob. Keep up those positive thoughts. My thoughts are with you.
:hug:
Fantastic news Beema!!! :hooray:
Oh wow this has been quite overwhealming, I have been back at work today and it was difficult, especially as everyone wanted to know why I was away, but what shocked me more was the Project Directors PA, came over and said "Oh I was so worried I thought it was the baby" I was lucky that she wasn't looking at my face as I sure it would have shown pure shock as I thought, how could she know... then I clicked, she thought that DD was ill again..... not the baby in my belly.....
I have only two days left in my secondment, then I am back to doing just one job, and a 20min drive to work instead of 1 hour including Daycare pick up or drop off. Unfortunately the person taking over has very little experience in the areas that are needed to do most of the job, I may be recalled in the future to work again... but we will wait and see.
I am catching up with my Boss tomorrow, but I'm am not ready to share any news yet, want to get a few more weeks along yet, but he was lovely called me up today to see how I was going and said if I can't be there, or need to go home, just go and he will "sort them out" :) His wife had a MC so I know he would understand, but I will feel much better waiting it out.
So I know that by the end of the week my job will be a lot more relaxed, I will work from home more and take extra time out as needed.
Wow you girls already know that flicker is a boy :) I don't think I will need to bother doing a poll down the track.
Thankyou all so so much for all your support and for making me smile today, your messages have warmed my heart, and the support that comes from the online community is just amazing,, you really have no idea how you have helped me and so many other women going through similar experiences... I am hoping that I can get to thank you all personally it is just taking me some time :hug:
Beema, I am so sorry hun that I've not been around much and I totally missed this. I am so happy for you that all is well. :hug:
Glad to hear that things will be calmer on the job front soon. Hope you put your feet up a bit more. :hug:
Oh Beemer, I'm so glad everything is working out fine. And hope work understands and supports you.
xoxo
:grouphug: I'm sure work will get easier...
Well done you for going and getting on with it. That must have been hard! :wall:
Thankyou girls :grouphug:
They have asked me to stay on for a couple more weeks in the secondment, so I have only committed to two days a week, as I have other clients I need to do work for, including the one I am doing the secondment for, but at the Client rather than employee, and doing an hour drive each way gets a bit tooo much when I want to be taking it a bit more easy.:
I have booked in the 12 week scan on the 15th April, for the 12 week stuff, plus an additional Cervial length, that will determine if we do a suture, or we keep scanning and just monitor it.
Another scan with my OB in a week and a half.
But I have been completely bleed free for 3 days, I am hoping that the rest is absorbing into my body :crossfingers:, I spoke with my Boss yesterday but haven't said what has happened, but he is wonderfully supportive, and I cried of course, and he doesn't push to know what, which is lovely, but once we get through the next few weeks I can deal with the last week a lot better.
Thankyou for your lovely support :hug:
Big hugs to you darling! xx
I knew it was coming, I could feel it last night, you all know that feeling.... , I had some discharge which was mucus plug, the green snotty stuff (sorry for the TMI!!!) last night, so I realised things were happening again. This afternoon while working at the Expo (great timing :rolleyes: ) I started bleeding again, but I am keeping positive as why it was heavy, it wasn't bright red, it was old blood, but plenty of it :(
In some ways I am glad that it is finally coming out, as I have known that it has too, I haven't had any cramps, or niggles so I am not stressing about it, will probably just call OB's office tomorrow to let them know or SMS my OB, so that she is aware.
I think I will also end up getting a test kit (had one for DD but she arrived before I got the chance to use it) which I "collect" the snotty mucus to confirm it is the plug.
I have been able to deal with it pretty well, and the gush has slowed now, so while it sucks completely, I knew it was inevitable (was pretty hopeful thinking that, so much would get absorbed)....
I think I will be able to relax a bit when this bleeding finally ends and I know that Flicker is safe.... :(
:hug: Beema, I hope little flicker is still alright.
Take care and try and rest as much as you can.
Good to see you are keeping postive. I'll be :pray: that flicker is ok!
I'm so sorry you have to go through all this stress Beema. :hug: I hope Flicker is just fine and the rest of your pregnancy is smoother sailing than the last few weeks.
:pray: that Flicker is still holding tight.
:hug: babe, hope you can get in to see your ob and confirm flicker is fine and it's just what you were expecting...
:hug:
Sending you more :hug: Beema and :pray: that little Flicker is holding on nice and tight hun.
That's sucky timing - at the expo! :wall:
Hope it's all ok and I'm so pleased to hear the acceptance in your words. I feel sure Flicker will be fine... :grouphug:
All the best with the upcoming days :comfort:
Lots, lots, lots more love and support from me. :comfort:
Big :hug: and lots and lots of :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl: for Flicker
xxx
:hug:
:hug: thinking of you still.
Beema Just wanted to check on you and Flicker today :hug: I hope you managed to talk to and see your Ob hun :hug:
:hug: and :comfort:
xoxo
Thankyou everyone :grouphug:
Went out for dinner with the girls last night and it really took my mind of the bleeding, we had some wonderful chats and plenty of laughs. so it was good to just escape for a while, even if I did feel pretty crap on the inside....
I am still bleeding today, but still brown stuff, and I can feel it sitting there, but no freshes gushes, just consistent. Called my OB's office today, and spoke to the MW just to let them know what was happening, and my OB is at a conference for today and the next two days. I had to update the MW as she didn't do the actual check in paperwork, she had seen me the first time I went in, so I had to update her on the loss of the twin, rupturing of the second sac, additional scan, cervix info etc. I also explained the losing of what I think are bits of the plug, which was the precursor this the current bleed, and that I did lose pieces with Nakita, but we didn't get to test as she arrived before I had the chance.
So they spoke to my OB at lunch time and I have just had a call back, I have to go and see her @ 11:45am Thursday at the other practice based in a hospital. She doesn't want to wait until Monday/Tuesday (can't remember which) when I was booked in for another scan. So I can assume that she is probably thinking the same as me or similar in relation to the cervix. the positives that I am taking from this are that we have some clues to go with, we aren't flying blind as such, every little clue will hopefully help us, and I think my OB want's to really understand what is happening with my body and how we can hopefully prolong this pregnancy.
I'm doing ok, just really feeling like it is all a bit beyond my control and I just have to go with the "flow" (excuse the pun) as such. So I will keep plodding along for the next few days and we will see what Thursday holds....
Thanks for your support, that cruisy pregnancy better not be too far away, and if it is not, well such is life and we just go on and face each challenge as it comes. If I let it comsume me then I don't believe it will help either Flicker or myself, so while I might pour my heart and fears out here, it helps me day to day to deal with it all :hug:
