Dimples - I'm sorry I really can't help you with your decision making as we had totally different circumstances. I think Dory's idea is a great one, about becoming an advocate for change. To me that sounds like such a positive thing to do in memory of Sienna, and to try to help future mum and dads as well. I think litigation can be such a draining and negative experience, and I really don't think anyone wins from it all - just the lawyers! Re your pains - you might consider asking your GP for an ultrasound. I had similar problems 5 weeks after the birth of our son, and a swab didn't reveal anything. My ob wan't surprised but a scan showed some tissue still inside my uterus at the top that my body was trying to expel, hence the pains which felt like contractions. I had to have a D&C to get rid of it, as well as 2 lots of anti-biotics to clear up the infection. I really hope that is not what you are going through but if it is worrying you then it might be best to do some more tests. I hope you get it sorted out soon.
Dory - you sound so calm and confident. Well done! I have my fingers crossed for you that your ob appointment goes well
Gigi1 - you are sounding so confident and optimistic as well. That must be a good sign. I have tried to do meditation, especially when I am have AP done. I find it does help me relax. I have also started doing a fertility massage from a DVD I bought and I do some meditation before that. Here's hoping it pays off for both of us! Have my fingers crossed for your TWW
Hi Aries and Samcougar - I understand completely where you are at - sometimes having a break is the most important thing we can do for ourselves. I agree that stepping away can often be very hard, so well done for having the courage to do that. We will be here waiting to offer you support when you are ready to come back.
AFM, we are just on our way back from a 4 day mini-break in Melbourne. Went shopping, caught up with a friend, had some amazing meals, enjoyed walking about in the beautiful sunshine. Fantastic! It was definitely what we needed. And so happy about a 3 day working week left - yay!
