Hi Ladies
Where is everyone from (((((SYD)))) Western here!!!!
Missy:)
:pray: :pray: Hi my name is Julie but always use the nick name Missy. Im 34 and DH is 35. We have been married for 2 years and are very happy. Ok here is my story.
At the Age of 17 I was told I had stage 3 or Sin3 as they called it back then, bordering Cervical Cancer. It scared the hell out of me. I also just started a new job as well which didnt help so I had to take a day off work to have half of my cervix taken out. I was meant to have at least a week off but was scare of loosing my job I went back the next day. Well biggest mistake of my life as that night I started bleeding (((flowing))) to ended up in hospital for a week. Work was not happy but what could they do.
After that I got an infection and felt like I was taking pills every month and then was told there was alot of scaring and it would be hard for me to fall Pg naturally. I was 17 so it didnt hit me that hard but it was going to.
About 4 years later I met a guy....not very nice one but anyway that is a totally different story and we started dating. I wasnt on the pill as I thought I wouldnt fall pg. I didnt want kids yet and hadnt been on the pill ever and had had a boyfriend before my daughters father and of cause nothing happened. Well nine months later I didnt get a AF and went to the doc and I was about 6 weeks pg...I sh*t myself as my last pap smear was inconclusive and they wanted to do another one. But of cause once I found out I was pg they didnt want to cause of my cervix. So I had the choice of terminating or waiting 9 months to see if My cancer had come back. I chose to have the baby and just hoped everything would be ok.
Melissa Joy was born 12/2/1994 5lb 4 1/2oz almost 5 weeks early by forcepts but was healthy and beautiful. Pap smear was done and all was clear. Her father and I broke up when she was 4 weeks old and havent see him since. I raised melissa with the help of my mum and dad until she was 18 months old and met my ex huddie. We were together 3years and then he had a head injury and became aggressive and I had to leave for my daughters sack. So once again another relationship over.
Its been just Me and Melissa for so long then she wanted to do ballroom dancing. So off to ballroom dancing we were going. Mel is about 9 now and was loving dancing. Out of the blue her teacher Matt Asked me out and I said yes. Well we started dating and about 6 months later missed a period. Did hp test and it came up ++++. So off the the doc for a check up and to get an altrasound as I was told 2 years before that I had endo and tubes where most probably blocked. So my doc sent me to have a altrasound and they couldnt find it. They said I might not be far enough alone but I knew some thing was wrong. Started to bleed 3 days later and went to the hospital. They did prg levels and said they were getting lower and I was miscarring. I was able to go home the next day and then I had to come back for a blood test to make sure levels kept coming down and I almost didnt go back as I was so sad but lucky I did as the levels went up again. They said that was a sign of eptopic pg. They operated straight away and yes the bub was in my left tube. They took both bub and tube out. I was so upset and wished that I had just miscarried. DH was shattered... I can remember the look on his face when I came out of the op and he was crying and said he loved me.
The next 6 months I couldnt handle it...I turned my back on DH and treated him like sh*t and kept doing it for 6 months untill he said he couldnt live like this anymore. He loved me but didnt want to be treated the way I was and it wasnt healthy. It scared me and I asked him to stay and I will change. We I did but it took alone time. The lose of that bub almost ended my marriage.
So marriage back on track, I have endo, one tube left ((blocked)) half a cervix and just thought having kids was out of the question. Also the fact that im a catholic IVF was a no no.
DH and I talked and decided to do IVF and made a promise to GOD that we would use all the eggs we got.
Started the IVF and doc got 13 eggs and 11 fertsed but 7 died. So that left us with 4 good embryo's. We had 2 implanted and my pg levels were through the roof. Had an altrasound and only one had taken and they couldnt find the other. About 6 weeks into the pg I start bleeding browny colour so my OB was doing scans every week till about 12 weeks when I stopped bleeding. I was getting huge pains in the right side as well and then it stopped at 12 weeks...
Anyway had Callum my baby boy 30/1/06 at 2:33 by c-section as his heart was really slow and he was born. 6lb 11oz and soooooo beautiful.
6 weeks later at OB check up, Doc told me why I was getting pain and bleeding. He found the other Embryo had floated back down the tube and implanted itself on my right ovary. He told me I has very lucky and blessed that it stopped growing about 10 weeks and he removed it.
I thank God everyday for my kids and have had one embryo impanted as one died after
taken out of being freezing and have just noticed some browny bleeding and am meant to go for PG test on monday. Spoke to nurse today and she said come in anyway for the test as its not red blood.
So that is my story and I so want to give DH another child but we only have one for egg left and not sure if i want to go through the hole cycle again. I just want to make him happy....
So that is it.... I have 2 lovely kids and if that is all i am to have so be it but I would love another so fingers crossed.
Thanks for taking the time to read my story.
Sorry bout spelling mistake as im rushing this abit before my son wakes up.
Take care all.
Missy
Wow Missy, what a story. Im so glad it had a happy ending (two beautiful kids and a hubby!!!).
Im not a jan buddy, Im december. Im not sure where the jan girls have gone. I pop in from time to time as we were so close in birth dates (dec/jan) so alot of what the jan girls say, dec girls are going through!!
I too had Sin3 so know all about that. so sorry it was so traumatic for you, but glad it went away. I too was meant to have checks during pregnancy, but didn't want to risk it, and luckily all was well after pregnancy (*I had op before falling pregnant).
I have an 8 year old daughter and a 9 month old daughter. They are currently being very silly so I'd better go. JUst wanted to welcome you!
Talk soon xoxoxoxo
Hi Meg
Im glad you took the time to read my story... Yes im very bless to have 2 kids that mean the world to me and a DH that is wonderful. Yes I havent had the best time in regards to ladies problem but I think with everything that has happen to me its made me a stronger person and relies just how important life is.. Im happy to hear you sin 3 has gone to and I know how you would have felt waiting for you baby to be born to see if all was ok...I remember my mum being so upset with me as she wanted me to have a pap smear and I wouldnt for the babies sake and she said to me, "what happens if you get it back again and it turns into cancer and I die" and I looked at her and said " mum" I love you but this could be my only chance for a baby and If I am to die, at least I have given life to some thing beautiful and if that means loosing my I would do it. " She looked at me and was sooooooooooo mad...lol....and said she wishes I would be selfish....My mum was so scared but now after being there for the birth of Melissa and then living with mum and dad for so long she never said anything but I know she is glad I didnt take her advice... Oh and also I got my AF Yesterday but Im ok and will try my last egg. I Wish you all the luck Meg and Its nice to talk to you.
TC and talk soon
Missy, it's never been so quiet in here. I think the girls are talking via email now for some reason. Maybe if you go back over the threads you'll find an email and you could join them that way.

Hey everyone,
How are you all? Sorry i haven't been around very much - things are so crazy in our life, trying to look after MIL and everything else.
Anyway, can't even remember the last time i posted, but things are ok for us.
On Sat morning i turned my back for less than 5 seconds and DA managed to turn 2 corners and fall down the stairs... he seemed fine but a bit sleep and out of it.. Ambos said that they can take us to hospital if we want, but that he seems ok and just to watch him, especially for certain things - blacking out, going floppy, projectile vomiting etc.. So 1.5 hrs later, DA decides to projectile vomit down the stroller... so we had a nice trip by ambulance to the Royal Childrens...
They just monitored us and said he seems fine and to keep an eye on him, but he completely hasn;t been himself since we got home (not sleeping and not very happy).. He wakes every 45 mins screaming, and did it the first part of Sat night, woke up 6am Sunday and did it all day, and then was up every 2.5 hrs through the night.. We are off to the dr in an hr, just to check he is ok.
I'm just not sure if its a coincidence, as he is just going through a growth spurt/developmental changes (he is very smart and knows how to do things after seeing me do it once kinda thing), or if its related to the head injury? He has a red bump, but thats gone away now...
I've been giving him panadaol in case he just has a headache...
Anyway, must run as i have to get ready for the dr... I'll bbl to let you know what happened.
Where is everyone????? Why are you guy talking offline?? Sal, not sure if you still read this, but hope everything is ok with you and Miles, and the preg, and i miss your rational approach to everything!
Missy, nice to see you here, and whoa at your story... hope everything is ok with you!
Yael
Hi all
OMG you ladies must be so worried...I know it would scare me if my little man feel down the stairs..When he was 6 months the bounce a net broke and he feel back onto the floor and hit the back of his head...He had a big bump and Off to the dr i went and I was a mess...but to fall down the stairs...hmmmm no thanks....i dont know who i would react..good to hear everything is ok...yael hurry up and let us know how things are going...and good luck..
Missy
Hey all,
Yeah, the dr wants to check that he doesn't have a fractured skull, so we are off to the x-ray place after he has had a nap.
The lump on his forhead has gone away, and he seems a bit happier today, but he has never been like this... I mean, he is a shocking sleeper during the day, but he wakes up happy & laughing and thats why he wont go back to sleep... This time he wakes up cry/screaming... And he was always good at night also..
I'm sure the dr thinks I'm crazy, but i know he isn't quite right.. although she said more than likely he has a bit of concussion...
Might as well get him xrayed.. just to be sure, and they will bulkbill us also.
Also thought I would try baby nurofen, incase his body is a little sore from the fall... Maybe he is having nightmares??
I feel like the worst mum in the world... seriously, i wonder if they should take him away from it... he was nowhere near the stairs, but i should have known it was a possibility.. i'm just kicking myself cos it was preventable!
Thanks for the support though... i need it...
No Yael dont think your a bad mother...Little ones can be so quick. I remember being at my mums house(2story house) and they had a gate on it but they were taking things down stairs and before we knew it my daughter went straight for them. She didnt fall but sheeesh they are quick... Dont beat yourself up about it...and I agree with jillian why didnt they do a x-ray when you went to hospital.....???? Let us know and im sure things will be ok...
Missy
hey there Yael
Hugs to you - I'm thinking of you and DS - better to be safe than sorry....
BJ has been so ill of late - we spent 2 days in hospital 1.5weeks ago with some mystery virus - high temps (40) and red angry rash - i nearly passed out when i noticed it - i too went into Robot mode like you said Jillian.
and today we are facing the posibility of him having Mumps - my BIL has just come down with them today and he spent some time with BJ yesterday - i've been to the docs and spoken with the infectious disease at the Royal Childrens hospital and long story short there is nothing we can do but wait and see - worst part is he can come down with it anytime in the next 3 weeks if he's going to get it - oh and i've got the flu too - for the 3rd time this month....
ok enough about me...
BTW - Welcome Missy
hey there yael
just read over my post and I apologise - it came across wrong - it wasn't meant to be a selfish post about me :(
just hoping that DS is getting better as I can understand your anxieties - i suppose that's what i wanted to say
I'm tired and sick and just not myself these days...oh well better just get on with it
Hi there Jillian
MMR covers Mumps but can't be given before 12months - apparently it's not effective, however having said that they give it to kids in Sri Lanka (that's where the GP was from) at 9months - unfortunately he's 2 weeks short of that window.
With any luck BJ won't get it.
I'm so sick of being sick here :crying:
ETD - Bummer we're not in Sri Lanka - LOL - you've got to see the humour in things sometimes
Hey ,
Havent been here in a while and have read Missy's intro. Hello Missy and it's great to meet you! Your story is quite an amazing one and you are very strong. I am so glad you have the blessings of 2 beautiful babes. Welcome to Jan buddies :)
Yael - I am so sorry to hear about DA. How scary that would have been. I hope that he is ok. How did the xrays go?? You are far from being a bad mother also. Unfortunately these things happen to kids and there is little we can do to avoid it short of wrapping them in cotton wool. We all have things happen or do things we think we could have avoided and re live to try and figure out what we could have done different. You cant change it so you just gotta look after him and yourself. It can happen to anyone and you did nothing wrong. You are doing the most important part now. The part of being there for him and taking extra special care of your little man. You are a GREAT mother.
Di - Bummer about the possibility of mumps. That sux. I hope Brodie remains safe and well. Sorry to hear that you are sick again. I hope things start to get better for you soon. You are having a rough trot (((((hugs)))))
Sending get well vibes to you.
hi there girls
OH MY GOD!! - we are so sick here - i had to literally crawl out of bed to the kitchen to get some cold and flu tablets - i never really believed that they worked until today - I'm actually starting to feel a little better now -atleast I'm not shaking and freezing now - given that it's 29 here today.
I think that BJ is doing better than me at the moment - i'm praying that the ceclor that he is still on may help him to avoid getting the full brunt of this flu.
Well all i can do is hope.....yep Jillian you're right - if I don't laugh I will cry....
Yael - how's DA
Hey there Lisa - how's things??
Hi guys!
sorry I haven't been around for a while... just wanted to pop in to say hi
Yael - how is DA doing now? I hope he is feeling better and that you are starting to too. You poor thing. I had a scare recently too so I know that horrifying fear. But these things happen and it certainly doesn't make you a bad mum..... it's just one of those things... so don't beat yourself up about it. Also - if you think that there is something not right... persist. Get it looked at until you get a decent explaination.
Big hugs to you and DA.
Di - I'm sorry to hear you and brodie are in the wars too. If Bj does get mumps, I was reading some thing recently about caring for kids and babies that with childood illnesses and I'll go look up mumps and let you know what it said. I think the most important thing (though probably quite obvious) is to keep him indoors and warm and MOST importantly out of drafts or away from cold air. That probably goes for now too... if he is incubating etc. Also - though you probably are already, make sure he's getting lots of fresh fruit and veges and maybe even go see a natuorpath to get some vitamin suppliments. And I guess it's good to see the up side.... IF he does get mumps, at least they will be out of the way and he'll never get them again and you won't even have to vaccinate him for it...
Hope your flu is easing up. lots of fluids and stay away from anything with sugar. I've found that when you eliminate all sugar (even staying away from fruit) you get better quicker.... something about the sugar fedding the germs and making them stick around longer.
anyway - heal quick and feel better Yael, DA, Di and BJ!!! lots of love to you all

Di - I just had a look at teh book and it said that the most important thing to avoid any complications from mumps is to ensure that the child stays indooors and has lots of rest. THIS IS TOTALLY VITAL!!!
mumps affects the salivary glands. Also, it says that the ovaries and testes can not be damaged if the person has not yet been through puberty... so that's good news
remember that the fever at the start of mumps is part of the virus, so don't use panadol. just make sure he's warm and cosy, away form any drafts and don't use cold compress either. THe fever needs to happen... it's just the bodies way of fighting the virus. and then the fever will be over. Basically she just emphasises the importance of keeping the child inside and warm and quiet. She also says to avoid starchy and protein foods until the acute stage is over. And that fruit and veges should be really soft as it will hurt to open their mouth etc.
Actually... you should really tell your BIL. IT's much more important that adults take the virus seriously as the complications from mumps are way more likely for adults... and also far mor serious. things like sterility and encephalitis are possible if adults don't properly rest.... as in stay in bed for a week or 2. Please pass that on. it's so important....
It really bugs me that these days there is such a "soldier on" mentality to illness. If people just stayed home and rested and recovered properly instead of bringing all there germs to work and spreading them around we'd all be better off.
GRRRRRR it's really pi$$es me off.
anyway hope that helps.
thanks lisa and yes im very lucky...
Where is eveyone from...Syd here!!!
Missy
where is everyone gone. How is everyones babies going???
Hi Missy, I don't know what's happened to your group. I miss them! Anyway, just thought that you could come and join the Dec 2005 buddies, we'd love to have you and we talk alot!
xo
ok thanks
Hi, thought I'd restart this thread...
Haven't been in this part b4 but would love to chat with others who's babies were born the same month as my little guy's.
My little man was still crawling when he turned one on 25Jan and 1 month later was a walking toddler. He loves to watch Elmo's World and will almost run (so very cute to watch) if he's in another room and can hear the theme song. He's starting to restle with his big 3 year old sis and plays peek-a-boo with the curtain if we're in the office, either that or he tries to get the 'puter mouse. lol
