Well, I kinda feel like a lamb to the slaughter, but can I join y?all?? I have been admiring you all from afar and feel like I know you intimately (was ridiculously sad and read all 29 pages of this thread ? it took berluddy hours, but am hoping I gain extra points for dedication?). In some cases, there has been enough info to actually know you more intimately than my closest family members ? all part of the attraction for me, it was... However, I understand that this could be rather creepy since I am a virtual (pun intended) stranger, so here?s me:
Me - 34 years old and (poor, long-suffering) husband is 36. Have a 2 ½ year old daughter who is really rather splendiferous, but prone to the most magnificent toddler tantrums in the most inappropriate places now and then (please great tantrum gods make these go soon?). This is our first month actively trying again after a pretty traumatic MC last year at 12 weeks. I had been hospitalised with hyperemesis from weeks 6-12 but had had numerous scans all showing everything was great and well with baby. Then literally hours after final scan showing an active, perfect for dates size baby I MCed really suddenly. Ended up with ERPC etc etc etc?
Was told by Consultant (in a really surprised and quizzical manner, kinda like I was just having him on and had actually hidden the perfectly healthy foetus behind my liver) that women with hyperemesis and lovely scans at 12 weeks don?t usually miscarry and that I was a bit of an anomaly. Think he quoted something like a 99.5% chance that everything SHOULD have been ok ? so that was helpful I thought and made me feel much better?ahem?
So, back on the trail again. Told I will have hyperemesis again, as have now had it with last 2 pregnancies, so it has taken us 6 months to work up the courage to give it another go. Therefore, I am shitting it big time! Shit, shit, shitting it!! So am worried about that, worried about another MC, worried that the MC has done something and I won?t ever be able to get PG again?blah?blah?blah?
Goodness me that was a long ?un!! And all a bit ?poor me? ? promise i will not continue in this self-obsessed manner if I gain entry into the sisterhood of BESH. Alas, everyone has their story, so I thought I would share mine ? do I get extra points for being a bit of a medical freak?
I actually found getting all that down in black and white quite therapeutic bizarrely??
And Mount i am also on the 2WOOFL (2 DPO i think) and thus far have managed to take Anadin Extra (contains aspirin, paracetamol and caffeine), antibiotics for throat infection and a cough bottle that i don't think is PG friendly. So if i am up-diffed this month then fuck knows how stressed i'll be about the contents of my womb after this!
