btw Hgirs, I bet your heart has not slowed since your scare. I have never had anything that scary happen to me with my DS but I did think I had lost him in a kids playcentre a few months ago. Normally I would not take my eyes off him but all the other mothers were happy to let their kids run amok so I thought I was just being paranoid because it was not long after I lost Charlie and I was supersentive. There were kids and adults everywhere and we couldn't find him for about 10mins after everyone had gone. It turned out he was upstairs in this room I didn't even know existed playing a computer game. It was the most sickening feeling and I swore after that I would never worry about how paranoid I was being, or what other mothers might think. Our little ones are way too precious for that. I am just so relieve for you that your DS is ok, try not to beat yourself up too much with the 'what ifs'. You are only human and unfortunately stuff like this happens. I bet DS has been getting plenty of extra hugs and kisses since!
I know Rozzie, you would think with what you've already been through that you've earned a dream pregnancy, not one filled with stress and worry. I wish there was something I could say to make it less stressful for you. At least you have lots of support here from people who understand what you're going through. Take care of yourself. xox
sorry girls I am home with nothing to do today and have posting like a madwoman! Sue I only just read your discussion with Rozzie re endometriosis. You should definitely ask about that. My best friend hadn't been able to fall PG for about 2 yrs and had a laparoscopy and was diagnosed with it. She had to have another to remove it and then fell PG straight away. She had a MC and then fell PG again straight away and now has a healthy and happy 16mo. She is actually ttc again and is about to go and get it checked again because she is having trouble. Another mother I know had similar story as well. If you have got it, I think its pretty easy to get rid of as long as it is not in the actual overies. I agree with Rozzie, I don't think it shows on a US unless very extreme. Weird that you would be put on IVF without checking it though??
Rozzie - I am so sorry that you are having to go through this.... why can't we have H & H Pregnancies, instead of constant worries. I will have my fingers crossed that with your scan that in its not low lying.....
Mrs Robbo, thanks for your advice. I think it would be strange if I havent been tested (had so many tests!!!) before starting IVF. Though I think before I started IVF, that my local GP sent me off to have the tubes checked with dye etc and I think this might have been done at the same time. I am going to the local GP on Monday to check. Though with my first session of IVF I fell pregnant (though I lost the angel at 12 weeks). You would think that pregnancy wouldnt have been achieved....
Sue,
They probably would have seen any endo when they did the tubes dye test, I'm assuming they did a laparoscapy and would have had a look around at the same time. Hoping that's the case because endo can be nasty.
Rozzie - Did they put in your medical notes that you did have a vertical incision? Just wondering because your OB said 'he thinks', can they find out for sure?? I can understand your concern, esp wanting a bigger family. I have heard that it is very common to have the classical section with preemies, I just hope all will be ok for your future babies.
Mrs Robbo - I hate that you have felt that gut wrenching feeling too, but I guess unfortunately there will be more of those times throughout our lives! And yes I was only complaining that day about how horrible a night DS had just had, now I couldn't care less if I had no sleep, he is here, that is ALL that matters.
I am having a weird cycle this time, am 11dpo, yesterday started really light spotting, temp still up, this morning temp has come down a bit, still spotting. I am assuming AF is on her way (*itch!)but I have never had this happen before, so I am patiently waiting for tomorrow's temp and see what happens, I think I am clutching to all the straws in my cupboard!!
hey girs,
no personals and this will be a cut and paste in both preg and ttc sides sorry! Headspace has completely gone to meltdown, Madisons service is on friday, I knew it was coming sometime around now but this last week seems to have moved so quickly and when i realised that she was going to have her official goodbye the "finality" of the last 3 weeks has proven to be a bit much. Coping in the day and not so great still at night, its the killer. Can't sleep, wake up exhausted the next day. i think that is why i am trying to keep myself busy so i can get my body going. Dh and i have been not so great either, i really just don't think he gets that we both are going through the emotional part but i am dealing with the physical also, and THAT is harder. and he has said when am i going to have time for him, i exploded. I asked him what exactly he had in mind going by what i have been through the last 2 weeks. I'd be 25 weeks this week and that is hard to get out of my mind. I go back to work next week after 3 weeks off and THAT is hard to think about. I don't think i am ready and am really nervous about it...actually,nervous, no....scared to get back out there again. This week has been the realisation of how real my hurt is and i really think the last 2 weeks have been spent in some blind denial. i just don't understand why we had to lose her too. My daughter asked why we can't bring our babies home like everyone else does, how do i answer that? So, i have just avoided being here although i have so far felt it really important to stay here, this week week felt i could'nt cope with it. But today just thought screw it, thats what we are all here for...take care guys!
