Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - Nov 2007

[mako]

Monnie Thanks for letting me know that the first 4 weeks were the most difficult for you too. Makes me realise that this is all "normal".
We had a really bad night again last night. Poor little Sage was so out of sorts that we only manage an hour and a half sleep ALL night Needless to say my eyes are hanging out of my head. I know that he is just uncomfortable as we had to take him to the physio yesterday and he has both his little legs in plaster for a week as he has what is called Talipies which is caused by me not having enough amniotic fluid and thia has caused his feet to turn in as the muscles on the inside of his feet are very short and we need to stretch them out. We tried to do this with tape for the first 2 weeks and that didn't help so thats why we had to get plaster on them to help speed up the process.

Lenny thanks for letting me know that you like to hear how we are doing now that our bubs are here with us. Although I do hope that the lack of sleep isn't scaring anyone away lol. It really is worth all the little hiccups along the way.

Hope you are all doing really well.

Sorry I haven't been in for a while girls. This M/s is getting the better of me at the moment but it is all for a good result. At least I know that my bubs are doing well. They just keep saying hi to me neumerous times a day when I have to be sick lol.

Mako- I hope things settle down with Sage for you soon. Poor little guy having his legs in plaster. Hang in there.

Arielle - Welcome and congrats on your BFP.

Ltl Panda - Hope the wrist pain eases soon.

Hi Monnie. Glad to see you still popping in. Definately don't go anywhere.

Kimbe - Glad to hear that everything went well at your app. I am sure the scan is just a check up and all will be fine.

Zap - Glad to hear everything is fine and the M/s is back. I have booked in with my Ob for my first app and also booked in with the hospital. How about you?

Sorry to all the lovely ladies I have missed. Hi to you all and I hope you are all well.

Ktgirl Sounds like the m/s is giving you a bit of a hard time sweet. It is a very reassuring sign that your little bubbas are doing great in there Just try to eat frequently as thats what I found helped. Take care

Jo Haven't seen you around for a little while. Maybe thats a good sign that your little princess has made an appearance. If not here are some more l.v's for you

Sage is doing a little better and we have figured out how to get some sleep I have put him into bed with us after his feed around 2am and he sleeps for a few hours in my arms.I always swore that he wouldn't be in our bed but I'll do whatever it takes while he has the plaster on. He is really uncomfortable as he still tries to pull his legs up and then he starts crying cause he can't do it.

We have an appointment with a lactation clinic tomorrow as I have a cracked nipple(ouch) and Sage will only attatch properly sometimes.This is a very common problem with premmie bubs.So I'm looking forward to getting that sorted out too.

Hi to you all. I will catch up on more personals later

Ohhh Mako, poor Sage, was not aware of the little problem he has...... I hope it will all be over soon....Its very interesting though as I have never heard of Talipies. Hope you can get some rest too.

Ktgirl, can totally sympathise with you, not the best feeling....I hate the fact that Its not just a morning thing, it just goes all day.

well I have a counselling session tonight for the donation of my embryos, yes another one, its taking a while as the clinic has never donated the embryos to a known couple while the donator is still pregnant....very frustrating stuff. The clinic had to do some research on the legislation and that is why it is taking so long, and in the end even though this is my DNA and DH, we seem to have no rights, as they are still going against my wishes…..will let you know how I went.
