I have a quick question, does anyone know if the intralipids at New Life are 20% 100mls? I guess its a standard dose, I'm booked in at a local clinic tomorrow and can't get hold of New Life to check if its the same. Thanks in advance if anyone knows...

mollieboo · 15/04/2013 17:39

Actually it says on other websites its 20% intralipid infusion, I think I'm worrying over nothing, it all looks the same standard dose!

Breezyweezy · 15/04/2013 17:59

kittens that's fantastic news. Many congratulations on the birth of little Alfie! Love the name!

BellyD · 15/04/2013 19:16

Yeay Kittens congratulations to you and your DH. So very happy for you. LOVE the name. I can remember so clearly when you got your bfp during the olympics when you were working so hard, and now you have your little man, and pretty speedily by the sounds of things! You so deserve this happiness.

Quick post as on hols in wilds of Scotland. Good luck to Buster and Abney. Waves to everyone else.

PQ77 · 15/04/2013 19:34

Kittens so thrilled to hear your news! I remember you looking "glowing" when you so kindly visited me in hospital last August and I am sure you are glowing with happiness now. A big kiss for Alfie and Flowers for you xx

Arianrhod · 15/04/2013 20:18

Oh kittens, so SO pleased to hear of the safe arrival of Alfie (which is actually what I'd love to call a boy if I ever have one!). choccy very kindly updated me as I'm out of the country at the mo. Absoluyrly thrilled to hear your wonderful news, much love to you both. xx

Buster76 · 15/04/2013 20:24

Hello!!! Sorry for the late message. We only got home from hospital yesterday.

Ivy Mae was born on 10th April 20.19pm weighing a small but perfect 5lb 9oz Smile

My induction sounds similar to yours kittens....fast and furious! We needed ventouse though so feeling a bit battered and bruised!! She is amazing though, still cant believe she's ours!! Had to stay in for a few days to establish breast feeding and gave Ivy IV antibiotics as I had group b strep.
p.s her femurs look perfect too!!!

Thanks to everyone for their support on this very long and tough journey! Especially free Smile

Congratulations to kittens too!!!

xxxx D

buster Huge congratulations on the safe birth of your wonderful DD. So pleased to see the good news on here! :)

mollieboo · 18/04/2013 15:16

I got a bfp on weekend and am currently 4 weeks pregnant. Feeling very scared and alone so I thought I'd post on here for some moral support. Got pregnant straightaway again which worries me incase my body is implanting pregnancies which are doomed to fail. I'm on 40mg of pred for first time and have absolutely no pregnancy symptoms, again which worries me. But because I'm not as hopeful as last time there won't be as far to fall if it all goes wrong. I just can't imagine it going right for me, but I guess every success story on here must have felt like that. Am an emotional mess, haven't told close family or anyone at the moment to take away the pressure until at least the first scan but it feels so lonely as I'm so worried! But I'm also grateful to be pregnant and don't want to sound like I'm not.

Anyway enough about me. I hope everyone else is good and the new mothers and babies are doing well x

freelancegirl · 18/04/2013 15:58

Ahh Mollie. Tentative congratulations from those of us who understand what you are going through. It's good that you are on a high dose. Are you also having intralipids? I know Mr S doesn't always recommend them for everyone. You are not alone, we have all been there one way or the other. Time drags though I know. Just take it day by day. I too get pregnant ever time (so far) and hey, it only takes one good one plus a shit load of drugs right?

We are here for hand holding! So please don't feel lonely. When is your scan?
