Mothers of Angel Babies United - wishing for, some of us pg with and some of us holding our Rainbow babies

[Bluetinkerbell]

Here we go again!
lots of love to all our angel babies! xxx

Razz if you deliver via a section there's no need for your baby to have the antibiotics as technically " no risk" however I knew & know that but I still demanded antibiotics for Phebs just in case. In the end her blood culures were negative but the risk of problems from Groyp B Strep outweighed any risk of an anyphalatic reaction to me. Congrats on scan xx
Too congrats xxx not long to mat leave yeh!!
Cheese good scan yeh xxx
Only 12 weeks of my mat leave left. Boo hoo. Trying not to think about it & enjoy the time. Looking at slightly reducing my hours if can afford it.
Been to see my neighbour today who had her baby last week was 5 lb,9 oz!!! Never seen anything so small!!!! Looks like he needs to grow in to his face, especially next to our Phebs!!!
Hi all xxx

whatever I think we must live near each other. I was born in pompey.

So glad the 4d scan went well cheese I might look into that when I'm next pg.

Its so great to hear about the rainbow babies, sounds like we are going to have a couple of months on here celebrating births.

Remember to just take it one day at a time don't try and plan everything or anything. Just concentrate on the day your in, as my nan always says tomorrow never comes live for today. I think that's what we all have to do, just get through the day.

What a coincidence Fan both my girls were too. We live in a town close by beginning with F

Does it end in m? I'm going to pm you.

You do live near each other ladies! As I both got you on fb! :)

Hi girls, I hope you are all well.
I have been feeling very ropey over the past few weeks and have had some pinching and pulling feelings. In my tummy. Can this be linked to ovulation? I am due to ov at the weekend? I just poas to make sure I was not pg(crazy I know, I am only on cd 9) as my last af was quite light compared to normal. I think if might me the effects of over indulging during the festive period.

morning,

cheese wow a 4d scan i was going to have one of those as never had one before but i think now would be too late as 33 weeks now.

blizy fx that those feelings are ov/pg related

last couple of days i have been feeling rotten and had been having pain in my lady bits (sorry tmi) and have yet another UTI 2nd one in about a month. dr did a dip test thingy and showed white blood cells, nitrate, protien, blood and something else so more anti biotics for me. just glad this little girl is a wiggler or i would be panicing but she hasnt stopped doing cartwheels all morning

Thanks everyone, feeling more positive today after a good ctg, she's been really active and it all went well. Having a lot of tightenings and a bit achy but this seems to be the norm now! I had blood taken again today and the hospital just called with results. My iron levels have gone down again to 7.7 :( They want to see me on Friday at the consultant and discuss an iron transfusion :( I hate needles and ivs scare me! I know it's serious though and really important to get my levels up quickly now. Really not sure what I'll do.

Oh Cheese bless you. What a rollercoaster. What does an iron transfusion involve? Did you manage to discuss your delivery date and increased monitoring?

Sorry you're not feeling too good Shakey

Nice to hear from you shaky sorry you are feeling sickly, hope the uti goes away quickly.
cheese you can do it, it might not be pleasant but you will get through it, you have been through much worse x
The consultant was lovely today, I asked about induction at 37 weeks and he said he wanted 38 but if I see him again in 4 weeks we Will see if we can come to a compromise:) so it sounds like he is up for a bit of bartering. He also said he is not worried if I get pre eclampsia now as he thinks the baby is big enough to be ok so that's reassuring to know. Hope everyone else is doing ok x

Oh Cheese sweetie, you can do it! It will get your iron levels up, which you and LO really need. You are incredibly brave and you can do this.

Shakey, sorry to hear about the UTI - I hope it goes away quickly. Not long for you now, though!

Ciwi, sounds like your consultant is lovely! It is great to hear that the baby is now big enough to be ok, even if you did get PE again. Try bartering in 4 weeks and see where you get.

Blizy, it could be ovulation - get thee to a flat surface and get down to it!

Cheese, I have recently started to picture myself having Bean and being in hospital with her. It is so sweet but it does feel like I'm torturing myself with visions of something that won't come true. I'm scared it will all get taken away. I'm also torturing myself with the idea that we will be completely overwhelmed by the reality of a baby and collapse under the strain. I am trying to persuade myself that no matter how hard everyone says it is to have a baby, it must be 100 times harder to lose a baby. So I am trying to believe that we will really get to keep Bean to prepare myself mentally, while being freaked out that I'm tempting fate at the same time.

I'm sure imagining yourself with your little Bean is a great thing to be doing Cheese. I called my dd "beanie" when she was little (She's 12 now)

I think imagining yourself with your new baby is an important part of preparing for that new stage in your life. It's a good thing to do

Oh sorry everyone I got a bit confused there and that should have been to turtle doves.
But thinking of you both, I think you're both expecting girls is that right ?

Ciwi sounds good. My consultant said the same as yours & relented at 37,3 weeks. Glad you feel happier.
Shakey wow not long!!! Xx
Cheese you can do it. Go for it you need the iron transfusion & compared to what you ve experienced with Scarlett that will be nothing. Glad you ve got lots of wriggling!! You re so near the end. Come on !!! Xxx
Too you are totally right. It is hard work taking care of a baby & I ve swapped 1 previous routine for another. I do feel tired but it's all so lovely. When I have a cuddle with Phebs, when she smiles at me, when she farts our loud!!!, when I see Ant with her & like you I have always thought no matter how hard this is it's nothing compared to having lost a child & not experiencing any of this. You will be fine. Again, so close xx
Hi all ; hope e eryone is ok? Xx
Phebs had her 2 nd lot of vaccinations today. Arh... Poor little bugger settled with Calpol. Off to " baby massage" tomorrow!!!
Love to all xxx

Cheese- I echo everyone else. You can do it girl! I obviously don't understand what you pregnant ladies are going through (yet) but I can offer support and a good listening ear to you all, although I don't always have advice. Hang in there, you are all doing so well. X

Too- I am due to ov on Sunday, so today is start of fertile period, flat surfaces have been found!. Although Dh and I were like teenagers last night, he got called out to a mobile site in The sticks last night and it was just us in the middle of no where with the jeep!

Ciwi- god news about your consultant, I hope you can persuade him for an earlier date.

Hope you all have a good day. X

whatever lovely chatting to you yesterday, its such a small world. Are babies being born in the same hospital and you and I living so close by.

I agree pregnant with Rainbow babies you can do it, just take it a day at a time and if your not happy with what the doctor tells you then tell them.

Ive got my fingers tightly crossed for us all ttcing our rainbow babies. This is our year, I can feel it. I have a feeling one of us is going to fall pg very soon.

Im getting excited about the next few months with all these babies arriving in the world.

fan and blizy what cycle days are you on now atm? I'm on CD4! I'm hoping this will be our lucky cycle girls! :)

blizy have fun

Blue - here is hoping, I'm wishing with every bone in my body that we are all pg before the year is out. I'm on cd 12 I think?

Yes, A lucky year is a great thing to hope for !

blue Im due on the weekend, so im on CD26 I think. I dont have my diary on me (thats how relaxed about this Im trying to be!)

ooh you're ahead of me :) cool!
I'm quite relaxed about it as well! I was looking at my chart on Fertility Friend earlier... without any temperatures on it and felt oddly relaxed about it... So far January/February has been my lucky month so will have to be this time too! :)

Yeah my fanjo disfunction of a couple of months ago messed up my cycle, so Im ahead of everyone now, I think I was similar to blizy in start cycle days. So yeah, if Im not pg this month, Im pretty positive for the next as DH has said we are going to take it seriously this next cycle (by this he means him as I take it seriously every month!)

Good luck blue and blizy.

Got my fingers very tightly crossed for you Fan Blue and Blizy

Was lovely chatting yesterday Fan what a small small world

Feeling very flat today. Can't stop crying, haven't had a day this bad for a while. I just ache and long to hold Erin. I feel awful but I keep thinking I don't actually want to be having another baby I just really really want Erin back. And then I feel so scared that I will jinx this pregnancy for thinking like that. What a mess
