Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss ~ January 2011 #2

S&S yeah for the maternity leave been approved. Are you planning on working right up until your EDD?

Angelfish so pleased to hear your precious baby girl is here. Hope you are recovering quickly.

So looks like our next lot of bubbas are due in March. Wonder if we will have some in February.

Well I'm doing some washing of bubs things after DD sprinkled glitter and a pile of other stuff in it so its earlier then expected. Alot of towels and stuff that probably dont really need washing again before she arrives. Looking at my ticker I have another 9.5weeks before maternity leave. Thats just depressing.

CONGRATULATIONS ANGELFISH!!!!!!

Enjoy this time, hun :)

OMG :o I just had a squiz at 'the list' and realised Ferrals and I are at the top!!!! Does this mean I am officially the pregnantest woman in this thread? OMG! Surely there's someone ahead of me? *hyperventilates* lol

Angel - well done ! And welcome little Honor - 23rd Jan - what a great day to welcome your little girl. Hope you're recovering ok from your caesarean.... welcome precious Honor!

Stoked- A boy! Congrats! Go buy some blue things!

Clairesmummy- Good luck on your scan. Hope everything is good.

angelfish- Congratulations! :clap: You made it! So happy for you and little Honor.

AFM- results of BT were pretty good. Went from 330 to 760 in 4 days, so it doubled, but I still think that seems slow. Trying not to worry. First u/s (vaginal, ick) on Friday so hopefully that is good too and I can relax a little bit.

Had a little scare today, though. Bright red spot in my undies. (sorry if tmi) I flipped out and grabbed some tissue to wipe and it seems like it's on the outside not inside, and very little, like I may have a cut. I have been a little irritated down there. Not sure what's going on, but it's not as bad as I first feared. Whew.

HELPPPPPPPPP! Sorry for the selfish post-- I spent yesterday in the hospital-- NO fetal movement all day-- even at meals. The last time I felt the baby was two nights ago (at 4:30 am). I was prepared for decreased movement-- but I had zero movement. We had a heartbeat, tested at home, but the on-call doc told me to go to the hospital...but she told me that she probably would not see me there and probably no ultrasound..I think that she thought that things would be fine. (I like this doc) They gave me something like 4 sugary drinks and put me on my side...but still no movement...just a line for the heartbeat. Anyway, The heartbeat was steady-- but ONLY one or two movements...NOT good. Next thing, I know, in walks the doc and she has a portable ultrasound. The baby moved a bit and they started looking at limbs and chest, etc. But they are worried about little movement. But then she said that the little chest was moving and that was reassuring 'cause that's the first to go-- but it's moving fast and she hadn't seen it move so fast (what???) But good "tone" and the limbs were bent in the proper places.

Ladies, I am going out of my mind. I was okay, thinking that the baby is just really quiet and reassured by the heartbeat-- and I assumed that the baby would move once I laid down for the night.. BUT NOTHING!

Help!!!

Eventually, they sent me home...but they want a more thorough ultrasound in their office today--this morning-- it's 4:45 am-- and the baby hasn't moved all night.

Oh Angelfish-- That is wonderful news about the birth of your little girl!!! Sorry that I didn't say that first thing!!!

Congratulations!

S&S can you head to the hospital sooner rather then later? The CTG they do to monitor bubs heart rate might help put your mind at ease. If bub was distressed it would very well show on the CTG without the scan and they could do something about it soon rather then after your scan. There is every chance bub is just been quiet but better to get some piece of mind rather then worrying about it as much as you are. Its such a scary time. Thinking of you and hope he/she starts kicking up a storm inside.

Sunshine - Hugs...... I am with Mildez, go in earlier and see if you can be monitored on the CTG.... and again, HUGS through this very stressful time.

Hi Mildez, the doctor thinks that I will be okay through the night given what they saw on whatever machine/ monitor they were using. They did say that the placenta is high and because of the baby's position, I may not feel kicks...but it was still kinda quiet. But the ultrasound showed movement, so that was good, just not a whole bunch (if that makes any sense).

The doctor said that the baby had good "tone" and that the limbs looked good -- meaning, that they weren't "flacid" -- and the little "breathing" chest (baby chest) was a good sign...though it was frequent and fast. Plus, the heartbeat is strong. My blood pressure was just a little higher than normal (but I was anxious) and I haven't had any serious complications to this point. That is why they think that I can go through the night.

I only have two more hours to wait until the OB-GYN office opens. The little bugger needs to wake up. I am thinking about drinking some hot chocolate or something.

I haven't had any contractions ( I had some braxton hicks last week, but nothing much). And the baby was moving just fine the night before last...and on last night's ultrasound, though kinda quiet movements.

Thanks for the suggestion...I am going to try not to freak out.

Sunshine and stars: I agree with Mildez. Why not go to hospital sooner if you are still very worried? I hope they can put your mind at rest. I pray all is ok with your little one.

Angelfish: :happyforyou:
So thrilled for you that your little girl Honour is here. What a lovely name. Is she named for someone? I hope that you are enjoying your little one and that you have people cooking you meals and helping you out lots.

Big hugs sunshine - id be heading back too must be very stressful. Something cold to drink seems to send my bubs crazy. hope bubs is kickin up a storm very soon :hug:

Yah Angelfish on your little girl - hope you are enjoying those newborn snuggles:leap::cheer::cheer:
