The Pact Cont - April 2021

[SS123456]

Just starting up a new thread 😁. Hopefully I haven't forgotten anyone!

@kirinm @whambam89 @Rotagilla @MrsB2019x @LeopardLover @Sansa87

@SS123456 c-section recovery is not fun 😩 still in pain, & worried about oh going back to work on Friday, but we have such a good baby. Feeds every four hours, has regained all her weight already, & is just such a good girl.

Will be glad when I’m fully recovered and can do more

@Sansa87 so glad you are doing as well as you can be. Don't push yourself and fingers crossed you'll be recovered soon 🤞🏻. Feeding every 4 hours is amazing! I'm dreading needing a c-section as I'm only talking 2 weeks maternity leave 😬

Fair enough @whambam89, do work know what’s happening? Really hope they’ve dropped and you can avoid treatment if you can 😔

Hope you’re feeling better soon @Sansa87, glad Francesca is being a good girl for you though! 😍

How are you getting on @SS123456?

@Sansa87 sounds like you're smashing it and Francesca sounds like a dream 🥰

@MrsB2019x no I've not told work, I only do 2 days so trying to avoid it if I can. How are you getting on? X

@MrsB2019x I'm doing ok thanks. 27 weeks tomorrow and baby is making much bigger movements now! I've almost sorted all the baby bits we need so feeling fairly on top of things. We have a 4D scan booked for next weekend which is pretty exciting 😁. How are you doing?

Hope things are going okay @whambam89

My levels had risen from 102-126 so booked in tomorrow morning to have methotrexate 😭 so over it all now, completely fed up.

Ah no I'm really sorry @whambam89 . Is that the only medication on offer?

@SS123456 it's either that or surgery basically...😭 Hope you're doing ok xx

@whambam89 That's so rubbish, I'm really sorry 😔. Will they at least do some extra investigations after this as it the second time? I really hope so 🤞🏻

How are you doing @whambam89 ?

@SS123456 apparently there's nothing to investigate 🤨 I might look at going private somewhere to get everything checked out.

@kirinm I'm feeling ok for now, just really tired. From memory it was a good 24-48 hours after the injection last time that the cramping started x

Was it the pain you suffered with that put you off taking the methotrexate or is it because you feel it's messed with your cycle?

@kirinm it's the waiting for 3 months before we can try again and the fact I'm almost certain it messed with my cycle x

Ffs @whambam89 last thing you needed 😭 I am so, so sorry. I hope it doesn’t make you feel too crappy

@SS123456 Oooh how exciting! 4D scans look so amazing. Don’t think I can justify shelling out so much for one atm though ☹️ I’m doing good thanks, was 29 weeks yesterday. Little porker was measuring 3 weeks ahead when my bump was measured the other day at my 28w appt so being referred for a growth scan 🥴

@whambam89 that's so rubbish, I'm so sorry 😔

@MrsB2019x 😂 little porker! They do sometimes get the estimated weights wrong so I'd take it with a pinch of salt for now and see how you go

@SS123456 Yeah that’s what I’m thinking, my husband is 6ft4 so I’m hoping she’s just tall and that’s why my bump measured bigger!

Just checking in to see how everyone is?

I'm good thanks @Sansa87 . We have a 4D scan booked for this morning 😁. How are you getting on?

All good here thank you @Sansa87, 30 weeks now, still waiting for my growth scan to come through! How and you and Francesca? ☺️

Hi ladies! Gosh, sorry for the radio silence. I never received a notification and tried to find you all a couple of weeks ago!

Baby boy arrived on 27th April weighing 8lbs 7oz - 43 hours after my waters broke! Definitely wasn't the natural water birth I'd visualised and I'm still recovering 6 weeks later..
but he is a dream 💙

How is everyone? Really sorry to hear you've been having an awful time of it @whambam89 😔 Maybe going private is the next step. You seem so strong, you will get to hold your baby in the future - but this heartbreak must be tough.

@Sansa87 What a beautiful big baby girl! How are you? Great news feeding is going well - that's challenging for us as baby boy is seeing a cranial osteopath weekly as the birth was traumatic for him.

@MrsB2019x @SS123456 @krj2688 You ladies must be so excited! Not long now!

@kirinm I hope you're doing okay too? X

Congratulations @LeopardLover! 💙 Sorry it seems you both had a bit of a time of it though 😔

@Rotagilla How are you getting on?

Hope everything is okay with you both @whambam89 @kirinm 💜

Oh @Sansa87 and @LeopardLover!!
Congratulations on your babies ❤️
So lovely to hear!

Hello @MrsB2019x
Thankyou for asking ❤️
I'm doing well, the anxiety eases each week.
We've brought a few bits and it's made it feel more real and exciting.
Il be 20 weeks on Sunday and have a scan on Monday so it will be nice to have another check.

Oh and I'm having a little boy 💙

@LeopardLover congratulations! So lovely to hear from you 😊. Fingers crossed you are nearly there will your recovery now

@Rotagilla good luck for Monday! 😊. I'm glad you are keeping well. How lovely to be having a boy!

We had a 4D scan at the weekend ❤️ . Little Miss was covering her face with her arm for most of it but was she was frowning and smiling away which was amazing to see
