Ok girlies just back from the doc's and I have a very strong water infection, thats why I have been feeling rough for a while. (And there was me hoping it was because I was pg!) Also she checked me out said my uterus was a little big due to the fibroids but didnt appear bigger than last time it was checked. Also cervix looked very healthy. She said that the spotting was probably due to the fibroids and had given me meds to control the bleeding, so I dont spot to much, also they will not tamper with ttc.
She was really nice actually and asked about Ophelia and said her main priority was to get me happy so that it was easier to get pg, so the best way for that to happen was the get rid of the infection regulate the AF, and to tell me to tell my DH that some women spot it doesnt mean theres something wrong.
Its such a shame shes a doctor brought in for maternity leave because I would so see her again, wish she was my regular doc.

ciwi how did the acupuncture go?

count welcome back!

TooImmature2BDumbledore · 25/11/2011 12:34

Is a water infection the same as a UTI? Glad you got such a nice doctor this time, Fan. Did you get antibiotics or something? Also secretly disappointed that you aren't pg, but good to hear it's not the fibroids causing the illness. Hope you start feeling better really soon.

janedoe25 · 25/11/2011 13:08

fan m glad your appointment went well, sorry your feeling rough though. Hope the infection clears up soon.

cheese Just read about your scare, I would have freaked! Glad all is ok though, hope your taking things easy.

blue sorry to hear your dh failed his test, onwards abd upwards though. Angry at your land lord though.

georgie and spilt glad your girls are well.

Hi to too ciwi shakey razz mel august and count, sorry if i have missed anyone out.

I had an amazing few days away with dh. We both had the most amazing time at our wedding, everything went perfectly. Although we did really miss Zoe, but we would not have got married if it wasn't for her being our special angel. Zoe bear mummy and daddy love and miss you so much xxx

fanjodisfunction · 25/11/2011 13:14

too yeah its a UTI, Ive had them before as we all have im sure, but glad Im getting it sorted now as I had one once that went to my kidneys and I ended up with renal colic which in my opinion was worse than labour! Yeah I got antibiotics, told DH to say well clear of this fanjo till its all sorted! Grin

Yay jane so glad you had a wicked wedding and honeymoon.

razzdazz · 25/11/2011 17:15

Hello all
cheese so sorry for your scare but very pleased everything was/is ok. my waters went early with ds so every patch of wetness throughout my pregnancy with dd I would panic.....now I have resigned myself to the fact that my pelvic floor is just shot Blush!!
fan really pleased your doctors appointmemt was (almost) worth the wait.
too really like the name Sienna, work some magic of dh so he is keen again. cheese do you still like Ella??
ciwi hope today has been a reassuring one jam packed with lots of movement
Welcome back from your mini moon jane, doesnt it feel funny when you first have to sign something as Mrs Grin
Hello count, nice to hear from you again
Can I just share with you that dh will be home in 28 days!!!! If there was an excited icon it would cover this page.......I havent seen him since conception. Not told dc yet, it will be a surprise. Dd put daddy on her xmas list Sad.

TooImmature2BDumbledore · 25/11/2011 20:06

That's so sweet, Razz! Yay for him coming home! Will he be home for long, or will he go abroad again soon? I would hate it if DH's job made him work away for so long. Mind you, a friend's DH used to work on the rigs and she quite liked having the flat to herself for 2 weeks, and then him home for 2 weeks. I suppose it's what you're used to.

Jane, yay for an excellent mini moon! FX it will turn out to have been a baby moon too.

Fan, Grin at telling DH to avoid you! Antibiotics usually work pretty fast, though, so hopefully it won't be for too long.

Ciwi, how has your day gone? Was the acupuncture nice and relaxing?

Have had MW out again today - she called to apologise for missing last week's appt, and came out to make sure everything was fine. Her doppler is so much more powerful than mine! Bean sounds fine and has been kicking lots. DH felt her for the first time this morning, finally!

janedoe25 · 25/11/2011 20:24

too Grin about bean kicking dh!

razz I take my hat off to you, I am lost when dh works away during the week and that is usually only mon-fri. How sad that your dd asked for her daddy for christmas, it must be really hard for the children to adjust.

razzdazz · 25/11/2011 20:44

jane it has been a really difficult year on lots of levels. DH was made redundant at the end of 2010 and was then head hunted by a previous employer to work in the middle east.......we had school fees, mortgage, car finance and credit card bills to pay so felt like there was no other option. I discovered I was pregnant with Thomas the day after he left. It was only supposed to have been short term but we soon found that he needed to be in the UK to apply and interview for jobs. We have now rearranged our priorities, something Thomas certainly made us see. We have cleared the cards (thanks to the tax free pay Wink) and have a small amount stashed for the bills while he job hunts. I would rather sell my house 100% than spend any more time apart, would downsize everything as I just want my family back together. I guess we did what we thought was best at the time. I would never let it happen again.
too fab that dh felt bean kick, he must be well chuffed Grin

janedoe25 · 25/11/2011 21:06

razz I wasn't critising you, I am just in awe of you. You are a really brave woman and like you say, needs must at times. I hope your dh finds a local job very soon. I know what you mean about Thomas showing you the way, if it wasn't for Zoe dh and I would not be married. I really hope i didn't offend you. x

razzdazz · 25/11/2011 21:42

jane you did not offend me,I promise, I actually wanted to explain the route we had taken and why. If you reach for your limits I guess you have further to fall and the landing is very hard. I am a lucky girl in many ways, my family is local and wonderfully supportive. My parents are still young, in their 50's and have been amazing. I bet Zoe is smiling down on you so very happy and proud in the knowledge that she managed to make her mummy and daddy closer than ever. x

janedoe25 · 25/11/2011 21:54

razz I'm glad I didn't, I got a bit worried there. I am not very articulatea and often have a habit of putting my foot in it! I totally understand your reasons. You are so lucky to have your famil around you, mine has been very qustionable at times I am very lucky to have dh and I would have not gotten this far without him.

Countmyblessings · 26/11/2011 16:06

Hello ladies- hope your enjoying the weekend to the Max!!!!
Ciwi- I understand why reaching this stage is concerning you, i pray all will be well it will fly past with no more concerns!!!
fanjo- glad you found out what the issues were so now you can sort it out and get back to TTC!!!!!
Jane - glad you had a great Wedding day!your Angel watching over you!
razz- glad your DH is back home soon, im sure it will be loads of kisses and cuddles all the way!!
Too - baby kicks it makes it so real when others can feel it from the outside!
im so thank ful the move is all over never want to go through that again unless i have a windfall then will hire people to do it all for me!
Blue- how you doing??

TooImmature2BDumbledore · 26/11/2011 16:14

Razz, that sounds like such a hard time, having to go through all of that as well as losing Thomas. Sad I hope next year is a lot better for you and that your DH finds a job close to home very quickly. Bet you have an amazing reunion!

Count, now you can relax and settle down - are you planning on staying in the new house for a long time? I never want to move again, but this house is rented so I know we will have to move eventually. I love it, though.

Am running a bath - it is freezing here! A nice hot bath will warm me up and by the time I get out the heating will have come on. Forecast for snow next week - eek!

CheeseandGherkins · 26/11/2011 19:14

blue I'll get it posted Monday hopefully, have the hospital with dh in the morning so I should be able to get it done in the afternoon providing ds1 is back at school.

fan glad the dr was decent, hope they've sorted you out now. Shame she isn't your regular dr but you never know, she could end up being offered something permanent.

jane so glad you had a nice time away, sounds just what you needed x

razz oh I know what you mean about pelvic floor lol, I get the odd problem with that too! Definitely didn't come from there though, the leaking! I do still like Ella, I also like Florence which is dd1's middle name and she's already said that she doesn't mind at all if we use it as a name for this baby. Still umming and ahhing at the moment.
Bet you cannot wait to see dh! Must be hard on you not seeing him for so long. Will he be with you over Christmas too?

too so nice that dh has felt the kicks now :)

Been really stressing today, worried about the baby being quieter than usual and totally freaking myself out. I've had the doppler out a few times already and I think she's in a different position (causing me to feel less) based on where I'm picking up the heartbeat. If this continues I'm going to call in though, she's been more active over the past hour or two but I don't know whether I'm being paranoid or have genuine concerns. I seem to have lost all perspective and cannot even make a decision at the moment.

Going to have another decaff tea and watch some tv I think and browse about. I'm 24 weeks today and more anxious than ever. I thought it would help but it hasn't. I'm due back on Tuesday to be checked over again and will be asking to go in on Friday too as that's the anniversary of when Scarlett died and I think it will be a difficult day.

Bluetinkerbell · 26/11/2011 20:05

cheese you are a star Thanks
I'm secretly hoping I won't need to use it... Grin let me know what I owe you postage wise and I will pay it back to you!
Please do go in when you are worried! Even if you have to go in every day or whatever! You have a very difficult few days ahead of you! ((hugs))

count I'm fine thanks! had a lovely day out in town with DD1 buying DH a Christmas present, going to Santa's Grotto! It was fun!

IDEA TO GET US THROUGH CHRISTMAS SEASON:
Shall we do a exchange of addresses so we can send each other a Christmas card, with our angels included on it, so we can support each other through this difficult time ahead where we have to celebrate Christmas without our precious angels?
I'm willing to 'be in charge'... When you are interested to participate, please PM your address and the names of you and your family members who you would like to see included!

OP posts:
CheeseandGherkins · 26/11/2011 20:49

Fingers crossed blue. Definitely feeling the strain now so I might have to go in more often, see how things go.

That's a really good idea with the cards and I'd definitely love to be involved.

AugustMoon · 27/11/2011 08:40

Hi Blue Lovely idea, I think it would be very special to send and receive cards and to know that we can count on each other to remember our angel babies when it feels like family and friends have moved on.
I have pm'd you. Will we do it like a secret Santa? So each person has one card to send?

TooImmature2BDumbledore · 27/11/2011 11:40

Blue, have PM'd you. It's a lovely idea.

Cheese, how are you feeling today? Did your LO start to move enough to reassure you, or did you go in? Hope everything is fine and that LO is kicking away hard. I know the feeling of totally losing perspective, sadly. I hope you manage to arrange a check for Friday - I expect that will be a horrible day for you.

August, how are you getting on?

Bluetinkerbell · 27/11/2011 14:31

thanks for the PM's ladies! I'll start putting a list together!

august hmm good question... let me know what you prefer... send just one card or a few?

OP posts:
janedoe25 · 27/11/2011 15:24

I have just PM'd you blue.

i have been having a particularly bad weekend, Yesterday Zoe has been dead for 9 months, and born for 9 months on Monday. She has been dead for almost as long as she existed. I am just back from Asda and I broke down in the book aisle, I was browsing kids books for mindees and came accross a book called "Zoe and the beans". It is horrible that some things can so much pain. I have now been imagining me reading the book to her.

Bluetinkerbell · 27/11/2011 15:26

Thanks Jane and spilt for the PM's!

((hugs)) for you jane

OP posts:
TooImmature2BDumbledore · 27/11/2011 18:25

Oh Jane. That sounds like a particularly unfortunate book title for you. Life really sucks sometimes.

AngelGeorgie · 27/11/2011 19:52

Jane deep breath xxx it's odd the triggers isn t it & although I always think I m prepared I never are. Hope u had a lovely min moon. Xxx
Hi all hope everyone's well.
All preggo ladies you are doing so well. It's so hard to be pg after what we ve experienced but before long you re all ve at the end with your babies and it ll all ve a distant memory. I can honestly say I never think about my pregnancy now other than to breathe a huge sigh of relief and yet at the time it felt like it would never end.
Cheese I m sending you my virtual love & to take care of you this week the 1 St is my birthday (although I know the 2 nd) is particularly painful for you so I ll be thinking of you on & over my birthday weekend. Xxxxx although Georgie's birthday was bittersweet the actual run up was harder than the day. Go in to hospital as much as u want. Remember me the week before I had Pheb's?? I had appts or was in 6 days out of 8!!!
Our life is bliss now everything is exactly how it should be. Life seems to be so good that it scares me but on the other hand it's only " normal " stuff ie; Pheb's being here, getting a new car, family excited & loving having Pheb's here . I ve got an interview for a new job near my family. Ant got a little money back from a ppi claim. These are all things other people take for granted , nothing major has happened , we haven t won the lottery or anything like that but because we experienced the total shite of last year we feel very blessed to ve having this/these experiences. I m not bragging here or trying to rub anyone's nose in it but just to put across that we re not taking anything for granted & enjoying life far more than I ever thought possible ( this time last year).Georgie is still in my thought but more often with a smile than tears now.
I so want all of you to have the same as we all deserve it so much.
( look at me getting all mushy!!!)
Much love to all xxxx

CheeseandGherkins · 27/11/2011 20:16

Feeling lots better today and baby has been moving about a lot, been worrying so much. She did pick up last night and kick loads which was good but I still can't help but worry.

blue I've pmed you

too I didn't go in, she started moving about a lot more so just rested and tried to relax! Easier said than done though.

jane (hugs) sounds like a hard time right now for you :(

Angel Thanks. Hope you have a good birthday. I think I'll be the same with appointments! I'm wishing the weeks/months away and hoping that it goes quickly. Cannot enjoy this pregnancy at all. Glad things are looking up for you, definitely deserve it xx

MelMal · 27/11/2011 21:18

Hi girls, was my first day back at work in 4 weeks so am shattered but just wanted to let you know I'm still checking in and will post tomorrow hopefully xxx
