Alish - phew good news. Well done.
Cheezel - sending you lots of strength and love.... and give DH a cuff ver the head for being so dense.... how can what happened last time NOT affect you? pfff men, sometimes!
Damprye - hope the UTI clears up. I hear they are dreadful.
Anyway, better go and read a book to my wee poppett, whose nappies aren't any better yet. Sorry I am not so good at persies any more. Just because I don't mention you by name doesn't mean I am not thinking about you. Belly rubs my gorgeous pregnant mummas.

Stoked - How exciting, a little boy!
Alish - Good luck with the mat. pants, and great news your heart murmur isn't seriousThe only other hospital able to treat clubfoot patients is Brisbane. The others on the coast are all private, or there's a public one in Tweed but they don't deal with clubfoot.
I have no choice right now but to go back to the 'scene of the crime'.
WBM - I know, it's craziness.... I might speak to my GP, thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't thought of that. He was horrified when I told him the story and didn't judge me for having a sook in his office. The midwives are meant to come to my house to do the hearing test but their schedule constantly conflicts with mine, and she keeps calling me on Wednesdays to organize it at the last minute, when I have appointments that day every week and I've told her this. She also only ever can come out in the afternoon, which is why I keep trying to just go up to see her after my appointment with Axel while I'm at the hospital. But no, that would be too organized for them.
Damprye - Hope you're feeling better soon
Ferrals - OMG, I think Axel might be the same as Ella... that's it, I'm taking him to the GP asap. Thanks for the list, it really helped! I hope Ella improves really quickly.
Cheshire - I already spoke to a social worker at the hospital. Nothing really came of that. She gave me contacts for a counsellor, but I'm not looking for that. I'm ok. However, they need to be accountable for their dodgy policies. Or lack thereof.
Dory - I'll take my complaint as high as I can. We even thought about contacting the newspaper, but haven't as if it's going to get all legal we don't want to do anything to jepoardize that. Good work on the taties too.. I love roast taties. and it really is a fine art!
Cheezelmonster - I hope your m/s goes away soon... it's such a gross feeling. Good luck for your scan, I have everything crossed for you.
Hello-- Friends-- I am sorry that I haven't been in communication for a long while...This is to let you know that my son, Obed ("Obie"), died on April 5th. He was a little over 2 months old. I just wanted to publicly say thank you to the group and to explain why I haven't been on-line for some time. Obed was born with a neurological brain stem disorder-- he was a beautiful baby boy, but he couldn't swallow his own saliva and he had decreased body movement. I have been reluctant to post because of the sad news and I apologize, but I don't know who has delivered their babies and who has not. I just wanted to say hello and thank you to those who have privately inquired-- and sent along prayers. I need them.
PS I haven't figured out how exactly to remove the ticker-- and I don't have the energy to do so-- I want to hold on to being a "mom" a little bit longer.
Sunshine and stars: So sad for you that you have lost your precious Obie. You will always be his mum. So sad he could not stay with you. Sending you prayers. I can only imagine how tough you are doing it at the moment. Please feel ok to post if you want support.
Sunshine -![]()
Fly free, little Obie.
S&S I too am so sorry to hear your sad news about little Obed's passing. You will always be his mom. I can't imagine what you must be going through![]()

Oh Sunshine and Stars.. I'm so so sorry you have lost your precious baby boy. You'll ALWAYS be Obie's mummy. May Obie live in your heart forever xx
oh my god s&s im so sorry xoxox
S&S- Being a Mother is about bringing such a beautiful life into existence and loving our little ones as much as we do. How long they are able to stay in our arms has no impact on whether or not we are Mothers. You are forever a Mummy in my eyesRIP little Obie

S&S - I am very sorry to hear about your precious angel
Hi ladies,
I haven't posted in here before only my belly buddies group but as this pregnancy goes on I think I need to be "near" people who understand my fears a little better which I sound awful saying I love my belly buddies dearly but hopefully you get what i mean!
A little b/g for those who don't know me. My DS was born at 25 weeks and lived for 3 hours before making his trip to heaven. Since meeting DH we have had quite a few losses whilst TTC most early (within the first 12 weeks) one at 17 weeks due to a heart problem this was also a little boy who isn't officially named due to gestation he was still classed as a miscarriage. DH never speaks of it infact since the day hes not once mentioned it and somedays I wish he would.
Anyway now that I'm pregnant with twins and they are both boys I freak out a lot given my experiences with boys ends in death. But thats about it for me, I know I'm a bit slow off the mark introducing myself here when I'm right at the end but its the end that scares me
mrs s welcome to this group! all the ladies in here are fantastic!
sorry for your losses and (youve prob heard this before) everything will be fine!
look forward to getting to know you! x
Sunshine~ i am so sorry.
Ferrals~ i found out resently that Honor has reflux i hope the meds work. Sometimes it might take a little bit for it to work so i dont know if the dr told you but dont let her sleep flat, burp her more, also my dr told me to put some rice ceral in her bottle just some hints. Reflux sucks
Oh sunshine and stars i am so sorry hun words can not even come close to how sad i am for your family and your loss my thoughts are with you.
Cheezelmonster-you can get good scans after having a bad outcome with a pregnancy.
With my Abbi every scan from the 12 week one was bad it went from a bad nuchal scan fluid at the back of her neck was 4.8mm then a scan at 16 weeks showed skeletal dysplasia then 17 weeks showed major heart , hand and foot abnormalities then at 18 weeks it got worse with other organs looking abnormal we got to 19 weeks before someone could give us an idea of what the hell was going on and we were told the inevitable she was not viable with life.
So you can imagine my pregnancy with ella was just traumatic and absolutely stressful every upcoming scan i was sick with worry because i knew what to look for and i dreaded looking at the screen but every scan got more reasuring and finally after a failed CVS (the doctor dropped the sample before they could test it) and an amnio at 16 weeks we had our morphology scan and i could finally believe everything just might be ok and look at me now i have a sweet 6 week old snuggled up in her bed.
So do believe it can and does happen life goes on even after a tragic loss.
Damprye-glad your little man is ok.
MrsS-welcome there are a few of us who have had late losses in here and everyone has experienced the heartache of m/c so we well and truely understand i look forward to seeing your BA.
Giving your son (born at 17 weeks) a name just might help to talk about him and deal with his loss and maybe coming to terms with what happened we had to end a pregnancy at 19 weeks 5 days due to SLO (non viable with life) it was the hardest thing i have ever had to do we gave her a name Abbi christine jean she is our 1st daughter and i include her in our lives we had a teddy made for her and a xmass globe for the xmass tree and a candle for her Bday which the other kids light it has helped imensely (spelling) and i we were able to come to terms with the whole ordeal so i hope my telling you this gives you something to think about and maybe help with what you are feeling everyone deals with loss differently that was just my way.
Forshelby-Ella has been fantastic last night and today she is settling so easy and no more painful noises while she is sleeping and drinking her bottles has been bliss no arching her back and neck and not one scream so touch wood the Zantac is the reason and now my girl can be more relaxed and happy oh and putting her to bed she is settling herself and falling asleep without me having to go to her repeatedly to sooth her and put the dummy in every sleep so far we have just put her down and popped the dummy in once or twice and she is out like a light.
Angelfish-already on it Ella has a pillow under her sheet to keep her upright and we burp with a vengence she is also on lactose free formula which is thicker anyway so she doesnt bring up much at all.
