Good luck badgers, I'll be thinking of you and baby boy badger. He will be absolutely fine lovely, take it a minute at a time.

He'll be here soon, how exciting!

OwlinaTree · 21/01/2016 19:17

Thinking of you badgers, good luck for the induction. They are probably just being cautious about the breathing, so you are not taken by surprise if it does happen.

Good luck badgers, thinking of you and your lovely boy. He will soon be here - eek!

Hi guys.

Found you again.

For anyone new:
Angel: dd born 05.02.14 (due to suspected lupus)
Rainbow: born 08.12.14

Badgers, I was induced at 37 weeks, he took 3 days to come and needed help breathing. I wasn't able to hold him, or see him for a few hours as he was rushed off to scbu and I had a big infection but they really are amazing there and you will be in the best place. Sending hugs and positivity to you X

Really sorry I haven't kept up with the thread, I couldn't find it. It has just popped up in active. (Couldn't follow fb link as I'm on app)

I'm feeling very down at the mo. It's fast approaching dds 2nd birthday, if that's what it's called. H and I have also been going through a 'tough patch', I think we are coming to the end of our relationship.

Sending love to everyone

KittyandTeal · 22/01/2016 08:38

Sorry you're having a rough time zombie.

Today is a year since dd2 was born. I'm just about holding it together to give dd1 her breakfast and take her to my DM.

Somehow it feels harder than a year ago, I had a focus and something to 'do' this time last year. Now I'm just sitting and remembering and feeling very angry atm.

It's extra confusing while being pregnant again. I don't know why

OwlinaTree · 22/01/2016 09:26

Thinking of you kitty, must be a tough day. I always find the build up to the anniversary difficult. The few days before when we were so excited and had no idea what was going to happen.

Hope you managed to have a peaceful day.

KittyandTeal · 22/01/2016 09:52

Thanks. It's been a long build up, we had a week and a half of tests, scans and the injection before I actually gave birth so the past week and a half has been really hard. Today is the last day and I find I'm really tearful.

zombiemeow · 22/01/2016 10:06

Kitty ThanksThanks

haquoi123 · 22/01/2016 10:23

Thinking of you today kitty. Flowers and also definitely get the feeling strange being pregnant part. I kept thinking this baby was ds (they were conceived almost exactly a year apart), which was really hard. But we gave this baby a nickname which helped a lot. Look after yourself today CakeFlowers

KittyandTeal · 22/01/2016 10:44

Thanks.

Giving this baby a nickname might be a good plan, I just don't feel in the right place to even think about it atm.

hellsdells82 · 22/01/2016 15:23

Hi all
badger i hope all is going well.thinking of you. Flowers

Zombie and kitty im also sending Flowers to you. Joseph wont be 1 till end of april and this rainbow is sie before then. I cant imagine what youre feeling right now. Im trying not to think about it at the moment but know i will have to at some point.
Owl im dreading the build up. I think i will be more anxious then than the actual day itself. Im still stuck in the time of what i wpuld be now if he was with me.

I also found naming this bump made this pg alot easier. Couldnt think of anything straight away but the the first movements i had felt like little boops,little taps on my cervix. This one is now named boopsy. Lives up to the name too as constantly boops morn day and night!

Sorry if i missed anyone but sending big hugs to all. School run now but will be back to lurk in a while. Xxx

hellsdells82 · 22/01/2016 15:23

Oopsy typo **due not sie xx

hellsdells82 · 23/01/2016 12:10

Hi all, hope everyone is feeling ok today.

Badger sending thoughts your way Flowers

Restless night last night,had a strange dream then woke up all in a panic thinking baby wasnt moving. Bany was fine and proceeded to boop and bash away all morning

Gone quiet so sending Flowers all round xx

KittyandTeal · 23/01/2016 13:22

Afternoon all. I'm not sure I'll be around much longer, had a bit of bleeding when wiping today. Might be nothing (had cervical erosion with dd1) but it seems a bit early and possibly the start of a mc :(

zombiemeow · 23/01/2016 13:35

Are tiny going to the hospital kitty? Really hope it's all ok X

hopinghopefullyagain · 23/01/2016 14:23

Kitty I'm hoping and praying that all is well.

OwlinaTree · 23/01/2016 14:35

Hope you are OK kitty.

FLAMBOLA · 23/01/2016 14:40

Hi all!

To let anyone who doesn't know me know - had my angel 25/12/14 and my rainbow 28/10/15.

Just come to update you all about 3 - she's having contractions now but waters haven't broken yet and the labour ward is full so they're not doing it yet. She's coping (ish) though and baby 3 is ok.

haquoi123 · 23/01/2016 15:01

kitty fingers crossed for you Flowers

flambola lovely to hear from you, thanks for the update from 3

KittyandTeal · 23/01/2016 15:22

Thanks all. Don't think there's much point in going to hospital. Not had any more blood yet, it was pinky and brownish.

I'm starting to feel a bit uncomfortable with backache and a bit crampy so just fingers crossed its all stretching and an irritated cervix rather than impending mc.

KittyandTeal · 23/01/2016 15:22

That's great news about 3. Fingers crossed for her x

LakeOfDreams · 23/01/2016 18:25

Hi ladies, sorry for not keeping up with the thread.
My angel was stillborn 25/8/14 at 40+9 and my rainbow was born 4/10/15 by elective induction at 39+2

Just wanted to send lots of love to all of you. I'll do my best to catch up on the thread when I've got the little one to sleep!!

hopinghopefullyagain · 23/01/2016 18:50

Kitty I don't want to 'teach grandma to suck eggs' but would your period have been due? I've heard of people getting spotting around that time

KittyandTeal · 23/01/2016 19:35

Um, that hadn't even crossed my mind hopefully :)

I guess it probably would be due around now. I've not had breakthrough bleeding before.

They think I have endo so the consultant did say weeks 7, 9 and possible 11 would be painful (I have quite bad stretching and cramping pain atm) because of hormone levels or something. I was wondering if it was possibly that seeing as I am prone to cervical erosion anyway.

Still no more blood which is good although the cramping is freaking me out a bit.

Thank you hopefully, that's another possibility to put my kind at rest :)
