Angels and Rainbows-remembering our angels and hoping for rainbows

[Star0909]

New thread ladies. Come in here for support.

Good luck, MademoiselleG, hope it goes as well as can be expected. Will be thinking of you x

Thinking of you m xxxx

Madamoiselle thinking of today and wishing you strength x

AFM got to the clinic for the scan and the receptionist had made a mistake with the days and now we have to wait till Friday, ggggrrrr. Now another 3 days of waiting...could have lept over the desk and throttled her.

Hug to all x

Good luck MadamoiselleG will be thinking of you x

MissA how frustrating for you, can understand the urge to throttle the receptionist.

Hope everyone is doing ok xx

mademoiselle thinking of you from far far away and hoping that you are curled up in bed and resting now at home, being looked after by your lovely DH. I am so so sorry that you have had to go through this nightmare.

missa argh to crap receptionists. Wishing the next three days to go quickly for you!

Hello everyone, sorry for being awol for a while. Things have been busy, unfortunately not taken my mind of it all though.

Welcome to all the new people, I'm sorry you need to join this thread.

madamoiselle what a horrible position to be in, I hope everything has gone smoothly today and you're being well looked after now

critter I'm sorry to hear about your mc, I hope you're beginning to feel a bit better now. I had an mc not long after losing E - had been so pleased to conceive again v quickly. It seemed like an awful double-blow xx

missalex I can never get over how badly you seem to get treated by medical people - how hard is it for a receptionist to get the day of a scan right?! I have a scan on Fri too, trying not to think about it - I get more worried in the run up and then reassured for about an hour. Hardly seems worth it! Must have been rubbish getting that build up and then no reassurance.

Waves to everyone - sorry not the name check everyone.

Oh gosh MissA - how frustrating and unnecessary. I'm so annoyed on your behalf! I really hope time flies for you and you manage not to stress too much...

Well...Little baby Gabriel (we chose it because fittingly, it is the name of an angel) was 'born' some time between 9 and 10 this morning. We had a blessing at the mortuary with the priest this afternoon.
There were a few complications during the operation but I've been released now. I know that the physical wounds will heal soon...

I feel strangely peaceful, knowing that s/he will never suffer. It was beautiful to spend some time with our baby and say farewell. S/he will be cremated Friday.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and well wishes. I like to think that all our angels are playing together and feel no pain.

M, I said it before but I really do mean it, you are so brave

Oh Ducky, I don't know about that... I just keep thinking: what's the alternative?
We are all much, much braver than we know. Xx

Sending love and strength Mademoiselle xx

Love to you and your family M. Gabriel is a lovely name xxxxx

Thinking of you mademoiselle. Gabriel is a beautiful name. You're so right, if any of us could choose the alternative to losing our babies, we would. But we can't, so we have to keep going. Sending you love, you courageous lady.

Your kindness means so much. You all know how hard this can be and I'm so sad that you do.

I spoke to our angel and asked him/her to take good care of all our live children and all our future rainbows.

Much love x

How are you feeling m? And critter?

Missa how annoying about the scan!

Hope they both go well on Friday

Can you guys help me, I'm getting myself in a right stress. The other day I felt movement for the very first time, then yesterday and so far today I have felt nothing I will be 17 weeks tomorrow. I do not have an anterior placenta this time either. Midwife has said it's normal and offered to listen to HB but I was unable to get time off work at such short notice. What do you guys think? Is it normal? Should I be worried?

Hope everyone is ok x

Ohhh and ATM, how are you doing? X

Ducky, it's totally normal, as is the worry that something is wrong can you get to your GP? Mine said I could go along anytime for a hb check and generally had more availability than mw.

M, how are you feeling today?

MissA, that's so annoying, it is a really tense time leading up to a scan and you had it all for nothing. Hope Friday comes quickly.

That's a good idea earth my gp opens late thank you

I just get myself so worked up all the time !

Hope you got some reassurance at the GP ducky. Have you thought about getting an at-home doppler? I know some people like them and others don't.

Hope you're feeling ok today mademoiselle. You may have a bit of a delayed grief supernova as the hormones drop out of your system over the next few weeks. This is really, really crap and you're a total hero for getting through it.

Sending love to everyone else.

AFM all ok. Bleeding has basically stopped and today's blood test showed HCG at 63. I go back next week to see what level it's at then and I think the next cycle will be once it has dropped down to zero. Will probably just lurk until then as there is nothing exciting happening at my end. One nice thing was that my consultant who delivered James called me this morning - I texted him to let him know I was pregnant last week and then miscarried the following day and had to text him again to let him know what happened. He was really nice and it was just lovely to know he was thinking of me and MrC.

Hi ladies, just after some advice/wondering if anyone else has had this experience.
Af arrived last Wednesday, and carried on till Friday (was quite heavy on the Thursday) and now i've started again, which has thrown me as had no warning signs at all. Thank you in advance xx

Kay was it your first AF since your angel?

Did AF stop completely

I'm pretty useless at these things

It wasn't my first AF since Ben, but last weeks one was the first bleed since stopping birth control. It stopped on Friday and then i had nothing at all from the Saturday until about 7pm tonight x

Maybe something to do with stopping bc? I'm stumped!

Someone else on here may have a better idea though

You and me both Ducky i'm thinking it might be worth ringing the doctors in the morning and seeing what the doctor thinks is going on- lord knows how i'm supposed to keep a track of my cycle when this happens x

Yea they will be able to tell you although try and speak to a woman.... I went gp's once and asked about my cycle being so long but the only dr was a man, he just kind of sat there looking at me like then stuffed me full of bc ha

Oh dear ducky. To be fair though, the doctor i usually see is male, however he has always been fab with all things female related. After Ben's birth we saw him and explained we only wanted short term bc for until we had my test results and he was very understanding and put me on the mini-pill.
