I'm imaging this one as more of an Eeyore stick hut type thing. Maybe Eeyore is actually still in residence.

Sorry officer, but I was just trying to tell her how difficult I'm finding the whole process and she said, "well, they do say, if you want to give God a good laugh, tell him your plans" (true story).

No jury would convict.

Lissie, did you decide not to go ahead with adopting because ds came along? Would you go for it again, whether or not you have any more bios?

lissielou · 06/03/2007 22:04

the main reason was ds coming along, but we are re-considering now if we get bad news from the specialist. cant afford IVF unless we use dhs grad loan in 4y

I think adoption is a wonderful thing to do for a child, and society. (now how wanky does THAT sound?!) What makes more sense than people with the desire and ability to love and care for a child and children who desperately need those things to team up? It's common sense! I'm really up for it. Just need to close the book on this incessant failure first.

lissielou · 06/03/2007 22:08

good idea. the social worker who was assigned to us made it v clear that we had to come to terms with our infertility first.

Impatience · 06/03/2007 22:13

Ah, good tip, thanks!

Anyway, enough serious chat over, where're more reasons to slay the merry b'dusters?

lissielou · 06/03/2007 22:14

never mind, you can always try again!

grrrrr

going to bed, night all, sweet dreams!

Anybody, ANYBODY who starts ranting about wanting their pregnancy to be over from about 28 weeks onwards. ffs, you know when you sign up that it's for the full nine months, so why try to find the get out clause after only 6? Surely it's better for your kid to stay in the extra few weeks?

Similarly, anybody who organises a social caesarian at 37 weeks without any medical indications

impatience, the nurse who woke me up from surgery for my second ectopic pregnancy actually said that to me.

duchesse · 06/03/2007 22:21

aitch (if dh asks im not here)

duchesse · 06/03/2007 22:23

wonders if Aitch was at the Royal Devon and Exeter for her surgery

My recovery nurse was phoning the delivery suite as I woke up, to check on the progress of her nephew's partner's labour. Like she couldn't have waited the extra 5 minutes till I was taken back to the ward. Yes, she did know I was awake.

lissielou · 06/03/2007 22:25

the nurses just kept telling me how lucky i was, i sobbed all the way to theatre and while i was being knocked out, and was asked to calm down

duchesse · 06/03/2007 22:25

She also knew I'd just had an erpc (sorry, didn't make that very clear)

They prob meant "lucky to be still alive", but that's really not what you want to hear when your dreams are being dashed.

Latest round of shagging with intent starts here...

I can hardly wait

lissielou · 06/03/2007 22:35

isnt it romantic! dh wont come near me til after my period. meanie.

AitchTwoOh · 06/03/2007 22:35

i complained about mine, she was disciplined. what shocked me was that after she said, 'oh, you should be glad (to have lost the baby), they keep you up all night and are a pain in the neck.' and i said, 'i'm not glad, i'm heartbroken.' no response. so i repeated 'i'm not glad, my heart is broken'. and she ignored me.
i was more pissed off about that, tbh. she just hoped that cos i was coming out of the anaesthetic i wouldn't remember but i even got her name. her boss was 100% horrified and furious, and i know she was dealt with seriously.
at yours, duchesse.

lissielou · 06/03/2007 22:39

after my 3rd mc had to take dh &ds to the hosp with bad d&v the nurse asked about my health id been ill too but had mcd that week, i said this, she asked how pg id been and when i replied 6w she said "so it was just a period then"

i replied no, my babys heart started beating then stopped, so my body flushed it out. got an apology but still so
