kayleigh, I'm so excited for you! 4 days to go. Sounds like you are happily nesting with the bleach and scrubbing brush.
poco glad you are feeling better today. Do you live abroad, as you say the system is different where you've just moved to?
Tulip, lovely to hear from you and great that baby Tulip is doing so well. I am not surprised that you are missing 'A' even more as you approach his birthday. Sometimes I wonder if I'll manage to stop crying at all when my little boy is born - I just can't picture it. Already in my scan photo he looks so much bigger than Grace.
3little I am jealous of your holiday as it feels like ages since I went on one, and ages until I will get to go on one!! Will you take something with you to remind you of your angel (eg photo, footprints?) if you feel far away from the grave?
Flambola, I had exactly the same thing at my 30 week scan. The sonographer had read my notes as far as that it was my second pregnancy, asked if I knew what sex this baby was (standard question, so they can avoid the bits), then asked me what I had at home. I said 'sorry?' as I thought I'd misheard her - I just wasn't expecting it.
Today I actually brought this up with the bereavement midwife - I asked her what the hospital policy was on Sands stickers, as I'd never heard of them. She said they don't put them on the front of the notes unless specifically asked due to privacy issues. Apparently the sonographers don't even see the pregnancy notes, just what's on the computer, so that wouldn't help. And she reckoned that most professionals in the hospital wouldn't know what the sticker meant (no surprise there, if their not really using them!!!). So it seems to be a bit of a broken system.
The sonographers do check the last scan report though - so the error with mine was that the 28 week scan notes had not mentioned neonatal death. Ironically it was the specialist bereavement sonographer who did that scan! The lady at 30 weeks corrected it (after being so embarrassed).
AFM I also had a growth scan today, and my (hopefully) last consultant appointment. I have a date!! 21st September for my CS, I'll be 39+1. All is fine, although I had 3 different people scan me due to this brain issue that I'd had an MRI for - but all said it looked ok. I'm definitely feeling over-scanned now.
I'll finish my last pack of progesterone mid next week (another milestone), so this weekend DH and I are going crib shopping, just incase I drop the instant the drugs stop (I don't really believe I will BTW). It'll be the first thing we've bought for this baby, and I'm hoping it'll open the floodgates in my brain and I'll be able to brave some other purchases.
Long post, sorry! Love to everyone, and may all our bumps continue to expand!
