Great news Barbie!! Pics are amazing! I want to see a pic of your bump too! Did you have 3d scan? Id def like one myself if when I get there...! Hope you can relax a bit now & let mum do her doting nanny bit! Hit that mall tomorrow!
Another big hug to Sabs & Babysabs Hope you are recovering slowly - sounded traumatic but soooooo worth it! xxx
I agree with LBM great list Iggy, I also agree with Blue - Mermaid you are far more head girl than smelly auntie - honestly love! Less of the self deprication you're far too lovely for all that you gorgeous soul!!! xx
Neeko glad to hear MLS is regaining her fighting spirit, I e-mailed her on my last day of work along those lines, it is a case of weebleness to the fullest, the more we get knocked down the quicker we bounce back & sturdier we get, dont feel it at the time but theres an element of 'f** you, we wont be beaten' glad shes slowly finding that.. big hug from me to her when you next 'speak' please xxx Hope all is well with you honey? xx Any joy on the MN at work?
Extra thanks to the ever sweet mermaid for checking in on me during a very wobbly start to the day... xxx I didnt sleep well, after being super positive I wobbled big time cos had the teeniest red spots this morning when I wiped, phoned my lovely EPU at 6.45am & left message to call me, but went straight back to anxiety ridden state of all prev pregs anyway after my lovely sonographer who's now like a personal friend called me back & reassured that they would scan today if I wanted but too early to see much & quite likely to be fine I calmed a bit & went back to PMA, I figured could be urine infection or as such teeny amount, more likely to be from excessive wiping where peeing every hour & prob a bit sore, so more external than internal, still all bravado gone & felt like a vulnerable liitle girl suddenly.. Didnt tell DH cos didnt want to worry him but we met at hosp for recurrent mc clinic at 2pm & fessed up, but by that point i was dismissing it to reassure him as well as me!
Anyway we met up with our RMC doc who was great, congratulating us & actually studied the immunotherapy treatment we had at the portland as his phd(!) he said on with the aspirin & back to the progestorone pessaries twice a day, no caffiene, no sex til 12wks & no temperature or take paracetamol, no strenuous activity & have as many scans as I want cos they really believe in the reassurance aspect being benificial. See him again in 4wks so it was all good Saw the nurse beforhand & did wee test in case of infection that came back clear, asked him about the spotting & as well, its very normal & only worry if lots (none since). As Cupcake Iv had a ton of twinges & pains, again as we know, very normal, but had none for the last 24 hrs or so & then worry why cant feel it! No pleasing us is there?! To finish off a v positive visit walked past the EPU on way out & saw our lovely sonographer & her boss to whoops of delight, hugs & kisses for me & DH & loads more reassurance. Im so blessed we have her, she has scanned every preg, I call her & get apts even tho its walk in so we dont wait around & she arranges follow ups as often as I like, when I called & told her the news last week to arrange scan for 12th she was screeching down the phone that she'd been waiting for my call for months & couldnt wait to see me & my lovely DH again. In past weve given her thank you cards & prezzie & seriously said she should be godmother whenever our LO arrives! Im so lucky to have such a great hospital on my doorstep & will not hear a bad word about the NHS! 3 cheers for Mrskate & Gracie! Cupcake if you are struggling getting a scan come to St Georges, its a wlk in clinic mon-sat, if you want more details just shout! xx
Anyway sorry for the ramble, its been quite a day. GP tomorrow to get signed off for as long as poss & then glueing myself to sofa for next 9 days (& PC obviously!)
