TTC first baby thread 26

[Annny27]

Hello all, setting up a new thread for us old timers to keep up and stay sane on the ttc journey!

Hi everyone

so at my standard 28 week midwife appointment I got rushed to hospital with preclampsia. I was told that my baby needed to be delivered within the next couple of days.

had an emergency C-section at 29 weeks. So my baby girl is currently in nicu and I’m recovering at home permanently attached to the milk pumping machine.

Sorry @whatsthecraic91 i missed your message in the craziness! We ended up spending 10 weeks in the NICU and have been home for a few weeks now! So now the sleepless nights really begins haha.
Has your little boy had his birthday?

@XjustagirlX oh my goodness! Feel free to PM me, i was (and am!) Permanently attached to the pumping machine when we were in the nicu. We spent 10 weeks there. How are you feeling and how is she doing? Is she on breathing support etc? Xx

@whatsthecraic91 @XjustagirlX sorry it didnt tag you in the above message

Congrats @Annny27 and @XjustagirlX sorry about the complications hope they're doing better now?

Just feel so, so low with this all now. 5 fucking years so far! I am so, so ready for my baby now . . . I am even past the point of feeling joy for others . . . I just feel so, so sad about it all.

We are starting the private process now. Contacted Access Fertility and TFP Wessex, and GP RE tests (again) and need to discuss financing more IVF with family. So gutted we are here after all this time. Would have been 28 weeks if we hadn't lost our one and only BFP 😪

@XjustagirlX massive congratulations I hope you are both doing well.

@Annny27 how are you getting on now you are home and settled?

@MIW01 my heart goes out to you lovely, I can’t even imagine how tough it must be. Hopefully the private route works out for you!

@Annny27 @Lozzlepop thanks.

@Annny27 She is doing really well. Luckily she had to come out due to my health not hers. She was on the cpap breathing machine, then she went down to oxyflow but now she is just on a tiny bit of oxygen through her nose but no pressure. So glad your baby is out of nicu now. It’s a strange experience.

@MIW01 im so sorry you are still going through this. I really believe you will get your baby.

@Annny27 I'm so glad he is doing well! I'm sure NICU was a scary experience. Yes he was 2 on NYE! So I have a 24 month old & an 8 month old. Life is chaotic 😂🙈

@XjustagirlX oh my goodness! Congratulations! I'm sure that was such a shock! Hope you're both doing well 😍

@Lozzlepop how are you doing?

@MIW01 im so sorry, I can't imagine what you are going through. Praying the private route works for you 🙏🏼

Hi ladies how is everyone doing? @whatsthecraic91 @Kiza @orangeloo @XjustagirlX @MIW01 @Lozzlepop

My little one is 9 months now so its all hectic haha!

Hi, long time no speak everyone!!!! Gosh us old timers went through didn’t we!! My boy is 22 months now and a fully fledged toddler with a wild spirit, affectionate and I get whiplash with the amount of mood swings he possesses daily 😆.

@Annny27 so so happy to hear you have a little one, rough start to entering this world for him but the little I read you’re both doing well now?
@MIW01 how are you getting on with the private route?
how’s everyone else? I haven’t been able to scroll back to previous messages to be able to catch up x

@kiza awww such a cute grin.

my baby girl is 7 months now. She is amazing. We are hoping to try again with ivf early next year.

@Annny27 9 months! That has flown by! Hope you are both doing well 💙

@Kiza lovely to hear from you. Your little boy is gorgeous 💙 the tantrums are something else aren't they 😂

@XjustagirlX so happy to hear your news 🤩

My boy is 2yr7 & my little girl is 14 months. Life is crazy but I wouldn't change it for the world 💙💖

Oh he is such a little cutie @Kiza ♥️♥️ yeah he is doing well now 🥰 we havent had tantrums yet but he has started throwing his head and back back when he doesnt want to go down for a nap so maybe thats the start of defiance haha!

@XjustagirlX do you have any embryos waiting or will it be a full cycle again?

@whatsthecraic91 oh goodness they have grown up so quickly! Do they get on well?

@Annny27 we have 4 embryos in the freezer. Hopefully at least one of them works. Although I do believe my issue was that I needed prednisoline tablets.
