hi ladies, It's about me but it's just something I think we all need to be aware of as it never occurred to me...

I went to the doc this afternoon. Found out something interesting which has me a little concerned. When I mc at Easter, I didn't go to the doc because I was only 5 weeks and it all happened cleanly - so cleanly that I began to question if I was preg and if I hadn't been able to actually feel the embryo in there (like I can now), I would think it was chemical. Also, so many people said to me not to worry because it was only 5 weeks and unless the bleeding continued or I had fever etc. that it should be ok. This was backed up by all the info I read on the internet about early mc and how if it goes 'well' there's no need for medical intervention. So all that coupled with the fact we were away when it happened meant I never saw my gp until today. I had need to call a girlfriend and talk to her today about hospitals as I've decided to book in where she went, and she asked something about my blood type. I'm rh- and she said she is too. Said that I should talk to the doc about it and get my antibodies or something checked to make sure I'm still ok and don't need anti-d injection. When I mentioned to him that I'm rh- he asked me if I saw a doc after mc and when I said no, he said 'oh well, it's too late now, we'll just have to hope it's all ok.' Also said that if I get any spotting at all, I am to go to ob or to him for check up and to arrange anti-d injection.

So now I'm feeling a little worried but think I should be ok because I didn't even get any implant spotting so... (I'm also quite sure I'm now overreacting and simply feeling a need to find things to worry about since I'm so used to worrying about things!)

superstar - I hope so badly that you have not lost your littleone. But if you have, you will find such support in here.

re telling people you've lost a baby, I think that it needs to be done. I think people throw out that question (when you having kids etc.) without any thouht at all about if it's actually their business. Telling them that you've lost one may make them stop in their tracks before asking someone esle the same question and hurting another poor woman who has had her heart broken.

the love is there waiting to grow inside, I can't wait til it does.
