Recurrent Buns Graduates - Pregnancy and Beyond

[Glitterybits]

Thought it was about time we had a new home for all those lovely ladies who used to frequent the original Recurrent Buns thread, or anyone else who has been through the hideous journey of miscarriage, recurrent miscarriage, infertility, testing etc. and now finds themselves either pregnant and in need of hand-holding (or better yet) with their long-awaited bundle(s) of joy.

I know it perhaps seems a little inappropriate to start a thread in the miscarriage topic but it still seems the most relevant spot for those of us who haven't yet completed the journey - and nowhere else really seemed right or fair to everyone.

I do hope you'll come along and say hello. I do miss you all!

thanks mumatron. my dh is coming to the appointment with me so he can be an extra pair of ears.

i will ask for the printout - wouldn't have thought of that myself!

i am glad i have my appointment but feel nervous about what they will tell me.

Hi everyone Hope you are all ok.

Still not got mt section date booked. Was sent in via AAU to try and get it booked but they said it needs to be done on clinic and I still have to wait until 22nd to book it, if they'll even agree to it. They just keep talking about ECV but by the 22nd I'll be 39 weeks so they're pushing it really. Not due to see CMW until 26th either. I am no way having an ECV. Ever.

Things are not going to plan and I'm finding it so hard to remain positive. I had a few weeks where I could so easily imagine having my baby here but now it's becoming further away again. I feel like it is never going to happen. I feel totally let down and not listened to. I've given up fighting now and all I can do is hope to god my waters don't go. Petrified this will not have a happy outcome.

Sorry for me, me, me again but finding it hard to not be selfish right now :(

coconuts I'm so sorry to read that you are struggling. I'm flabbergasted to read about the responses you've had from the consultants. It seems like negligence to me how they are treating you. I don't know what to suggest next but I'm sending you a big hug.

Have had my CMW on the phone to me today bless her. She is trying so hard to get the cons to review my notes to try and get something in place before the 22nd.

Although I don't think I'll make the 22nd anyway as I had four hours of contractions last night, was just about to call LW and I fell asleep and have had nothing since. CMW said to call straight away if they start again so hopefully minicoco might fancy coming soon :)

I just want to say thank you to you all for being so supportive and understanding. You are the best :) [soppy]

Coconuts I was going to say you need to put your foot down and demand a plan - God, how slack can they get? - but it sounds as though things might be getting going anyway. I know its hard, but try to keep the faith in your body if you are already in labour. I have everything crossed for you that you're snuggling your beautiful baby very soon. Lots of love and strength being sent your way.

Typing one-handed while giant baby feeds for the millionth time today. Hope you're all okay. Will try to catch up soon. x

Thanks glittery nothing happening in the way of labour. Don't know what the pains were the other night but nothing since. Never heard back from CMW yesterday so I guess she never got hold of consultant. Really struggling not to panic about this.

I can't put my foot down as I have noone to do it to. My CMW is doing all she can and if they wont listen to her then they won't listen to me.

Now I'm worrying about recovery from the CS (if I ever get one) and getting DD to playschool and doing things in general. Sick of scaremongerers telling me I won't be able to walk for 8weeks.

In other news justmee has had her baby, but that's all I'll say :)

Right. Between us we have put our foot down and got transferred to a different hospital. They are getting me in today for a scan and to see the consultant in the view of admitting me as apparently things are alot more serious than originally thought. My hospital have not been honest with me and the CMW is relieved that I have transferred to the big city hospital, so I think I've nade the right decision.

I don't have a posh phone so will not be able to update from hospital if I am admitted today so, thank you all for being there for me over the months from TTC to now and hopefully I can soon announce the safe arrival. I feel much more positive already. Within an hour and a half I have been transferred, booked in for a scan and will personally see the consultant, not just a doctor so fell more confident with the care already.

Over and out

Coconuts Thank God for that. I didn't want to be another panicky voice in the midst of all the medical scaremongering you've put up with so far, but I have to say I was feeling quite worried on your behalf. So pleased to hear you're being looked after properly now. I remember how panicked I felt about the appt they gave me to discuss my birth options only 2 or 3 days before my due date, so I can only imagine how freaked out you've been feeling with all the complications on top.

Good luck with it all and I look forward to your happy announcement very soon. FWIW nearly everyone I know who has had a CS has been up and about very quickly afterwards. My best friend even went so far as to say that her recovery from a CS was much quicker because she didn't have any pushing/ labour injuries and was much less tired. I'll be thinking of you and checking in as often as I can. xxxx

Congratulations justmee! Looking forward to hearing from you when you get a spare minute!

Might not even have a CS. The new hospital have talked me through their procedure for polyhydramnios and it sounds better so natural birth may be an option if they can catch him head down and get my waters broken in time.

Can't believe how quickly they have sorted it all really. and this hospital is brand new :)

Leaving in 5mins :)

speak soon xxxx

Just incase you get chance to see this coconuts, good luck with it all and hopefully you'll be holding your baby very soon

Congrats to you too justmee hurry up with the details please!

so relieved to hear that you are being looked at seriously by another hospital now coconuts I can't believe what a lottery it seems to be for your care. I'm in disbelief how the first hospital could be so dismissive of your needs, but this one wants to see you ASAP.

Can't wait to hear about the birth of your baby!

Oh wow coconuts! Good luck, I hope the next post from you has you cuddling your little one.

And congratulations to justmee if your lurking. I remember how fraught the early days of your pregnancy were - trying to get hold of meds and needing translators for doctors. Amazing to think that's all behind you now.

As for me I had a scan with Mr S last weds and bab measured 9+1, a couple of days out from the st marys scan but hb was 176 and Mr S was very pleased. Am back at st Marys next weds again when I should be 10 plus something. My face is properly fat from the roids - worth it if this works though!

digital thats great news!

very quiet here lately. hope everyone is well.

Thinking of you too justmee how scary. Fingers crossed for your son.

Oh justmee how scary - did they say whether he can be operated on to fix it? You must be beside yourself. Thinking of you, your dh and your little boy.

Sorry - very insensitive of me - you've said you're waiting for the op. Fingers crossed.

justmee your family is in my prayers. When is the operation scheduled?

Thinking of you justmee. How very frightening. I wish I could come and give you a cuddle. Lots of love, hope and hugs being sent your way. Do you have a name for your gorgeous baby boy yet? Xxx

prayers and hugs to justmee and baby...xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Just sidled in here after far too long to see your post, justmee. Am going to leave the self-indulgent witters for a bit and just send you love and prayers and congratulations.

He's made it this far so he's a tough little thing - he's also out and in the best and safest place for him. He's got everything going for him.

From one former SCBU inmate to another, if you want to talk I'm here. x

Just checking in and sending lots of love, particularly to justmee and coconuts. xxx
