Amber have we decided on a tome to meet uo yet & are you going to start a thread in the meet-up section?
Hello all,
Here is a copy/paste job of today sorry I'm really lazy I couldn't be bothered re-typing it all:
I saw the social worker today I told her what happened and she is going to organise for the head obstitrician (sp?) and manager of maternity to speak with me. The Ob. will go through my file and try and explain everything that happened to me and where things went wrong and why and talk to me about trying to concieve again and see if together with the dr that saw my baby if they can give me an indication of what could of caused it.
The head of maternity I'm going to talk to about my emergency care when I first got to hospital, my feelings of being dismissed like I didn't know what my own body was telling me and being sent home to miscarry in the bathroom. She is then going to talk to the drs that attended to me and then tell my story to all the ppl at the ward in hopes that this will not happen to anyone else again and after hearing my story they may or may not write to the minister with some recommended policy changes. I said to them I don't want compensation, I don't want to complain, and I don't want the ppl involved to get in trouble, but I don't want it to happen again and I don't want to be swept under the table and forgotten.
The social worker thinks I need to deal with and be debriefed on all the other things that have happened and to try and come to terms with my near death experience before I can grieve properly, so hopefully these meetings help me get some closure so I can start to heal because I don't feel like I'm really going forward in life I just keep thinking of all the horrible things that happened and I can't let them go...
... moving along news, I got a Dyson, it sounds like a mini space ship about to take off, it lifts the carpet and it feels so fluffy afterwards *loves*
Celtic - great that some meetings are being set up to help you understand what happened and why. As you said also a chance for you to input into their processes to hopefully ensure this doesn't happen again. Hope you get the information you need.
:hug: Celtic hun my heart breaks for you and your family every day! :hug I cannot begin to imagine how it must be for you all. :hug: Talking wiht the DRs is a good step as hopefully it will help in some way. :hug: Dont you just love Dysons ours is broken at the moment gee i miss it! :hug:
Saffi Terri says hi and would love all the labour vibes you have!
Mo I havent organised a meet up thing cause i dont think too many people besides you lovely girls are really intersted in meeting me :)
BBL xxx
I'll start a thread & if no one else turns up then it's their loss, just need everyone to agree on a time.
how's 10:30-11am?
Lauren i'm glad your talking to someone & i really hope chatting to the OB & Midwife helps you :hug:
Celtic - :hug: I'm glad you got to talk about things today and it sounds like they have taken you pretty seriously which is great. I hope they give you all the help you need :hug:.
Amber & Mo - Mornings are always good for us, but again, I have no idea where I'll be yet! I'm sure there are lots of Melbournians who would love to meet you Amber :D
BBL, a customer just turned up...
I got onto Ange & she's in as-well :)
I'll start a meet-up thread when i get back from coles :)

Celtic - I admire your strength to stand up and make sure that what you went through never happens to anyone at that hospital again. Sometime's I think doctor's, nurses etc are so quick to dismiss us when we have something going on which is sad. We are the person who knows our bodies best, and this should count for a lot.
Not much going on with me, I am heading out to the movies at 9pm. Hoping to make it that long, I am ready to crash and burn and it is just 7.15pm! We are seeing My Sisters Keeper so that is bound to be a tear jerker, just what I need after being such a cry baby yesterday :lol:! No nanna nap today, they make my day at the moment! Anyway better go, I need a shower to wash my hair.
Ty Saffi, Mo, Trish & Boomba I hope it goes well and doesn't turn into a he-said she-said slinging match if the ppl involved get all defensive.
The meet up sounds like it will be a blast :) between chasing all the kidlets around pulling out hair of course (but hey that's a normal day for mums! hehe).
Boomba - If you lived closer I'd offer to come vacuum, I'm waiting for the carpet to get dirty again so I can use it... sad I know... but the cleanliness *loves*.
Trish- how did the customer go? Hope they were able to fill the coffers ;)
Celtic - I hope it doesn't turn out that way either, it's not nice when people get all defensive. Oh, and the customer that came bought a safety gate :D (for his puppy :lol:)
Kaz - Have fun at the movies! Maybe a good cry will be just what you need ;)
Mo - Thanks for starting the meet up thread!
DH is currently reading the boys a book, they are both over-tired after a busy day. We had a play date this morning with one of Joel's kinder friends and his little brother, they had a lot of fun! Joel then had to go to kinder so he's pretty tired now and K is equally tired even though he got an arvo nap, go figure!
Better go put them in bed. Night all!
G'night Trish, hopefully they got worn out well and truely and you get a nice long rest :). Haha so cute, dw my friends have put up baby gates for their puppies... now his wife is preg! Least they won't have to do much baby proofing they've already done all the puppy proofing :)
Hi all
Doesn't look like I'm going to make my EDD. Waters broke about an hour ago, called the hospital and they have told me to come in. PIL are on their way in to look after L and my mum is busy making a flight booking to be here asap.
Wish me luck and Becky will keep you updated.

Wow babies everywhere ... big congrats Saffi ... I am glad you are all ok and the name of your new princess is great!

Just want to add i didn't forget Willow, it's just that she was due in July not August :D
Trish it would be great if Miss B made her appearance tomorrow, then we could all meet her on Aug 22nd.
False alarm for Terri :( So keep those vibes coming!
So it wasn't her waters? or it was her waters just no contractions?
Not waters just some fluid :( She has been having irregular contractions since monday is 3cm now! Poor thing i know she is really over it :( Fingers crossed she comes tonight!
