I must improve my tv viewing when bored! or read my bible instead!

Swaliswan · 11/02/2008 19:18

In case you hadn't guessed Ladies, it was me who got the BFP. So..........could you all pray for my family. My last pg was difficult as I had hyperemesis and then DD was premature. I'm only 4 weeks pg and already have morning sickness which is supposedly a good sign that I won't have another mc but is making me feel rough and nervous about how I will cope with looking after DD. I'm also a bit concerned about what is going to happen with BFing DD now that I'm pg as I will have to give up soonish (having had a previous pre-term labour). DH and I are also a bit unsettled about how things are going to be financially with the uncertainty surrounding his job. It looks like I won't be changing my job to one outside of the hospital after all. I'm pleased that we have had a fairly firm direction from God about whether to resign from my current job or not. I do think it was a bit extreme of Him to make me pg as a way of telling me not to change jobs though!

podglet · 11/02/2008 20:27

Hi all,

CC - it's been 6 years we worked together and then got together as we're not married (not for want of me trying) our "anniversary" is from the day we started Dating

SS - hope you're not too exhausted and DD is ok, DS has had a nose like a tap for ages, have shares in Kleenex! Will pray for your course and that you are led in the right direction.

Lots of love to Marsy, I had to arrange all my father's affairs whilst 8 months pg with DS. There was no relationship there either but it was still hard. Hope you are given the strength to get through this time.

DutchOma · 11/02/2008 20:32

Prayer request for OJ and Steve, who has gone into hospice today.

podglet · 11/02/2008 20:34

Whoopay - looka like I got overexcited and posted before I had caught up

SS - Congratulations - I suspected you might be - praying it all goes well for you will you be under a consultant this time after your previous probs?

Suzy - glad DS2 better and fingers crossed for no nasty germs being passed on

Ok, think I'm done now, clearly I've had a long day...

bobsmum · 11/02/2008 20:38

Congratulations SS

Swaliswan · 11/02/2008 20:45

DO do you know if Steve has gone in for pain relief/symptom control/palliative care? I will uphold them in my prayers x

DutchOma · 11/02/2008 21:25

He was so bad they couldn't cope for a while. If they get him settled he may come home again, but just at the moment it wasn't possible. So hard for them.

NorthernLurker · 11/02/2008 22:50

Quick pop in - have just finished a form to apply for a new job when I go back to work. You may remember I was quite down about this a week or so ago? Well, talked to my line manager at the end of last week and now feel a lot more positive about the situation

Praying for OJ and Steve - so hard for her and all the family

Swaliswan - Congratulations - what lovely news! Re the breastfeeding - you may find dd makes the decision for you - apparently quite a lot of babies decide they don't like the taste of milk when mum is pregnant. But don't worry - she won't starve herself, just move on to something else.

Somebody asked about bible courses - dh uses 'Encounter with God' which is produced by Scripture Union - he finds it very good and applicable to daily living - I do too when I find time to dip in

mufti · 12/02/2008 07:38

lovely news SS

Swaliswan · 12/02/2008 08:40

Ladies, I'm sorry to be an annoyingly worried pg person, but I'm so consumed with worry that this little bean isn't going to be a sticky one. I did another HPT with DH here this am so that he could see it in action iyswim and there is a line but it is fainter than yesterday's to the point that it almost isn't there. I know that it is very early days and this is exactly what happened when pg with DD. But, I am so nervous it is all-consuming. I don't think that I could cope with another mc, even an early one would be so horrible. I hadn't realised just how much I want this LO until I thought that it might be all over already

mufti · 12/02/2008 08:51

was your mc before or after dd SS?
it's completely understandable, i had one before ds, ANd so didn't share the news about him till much later
i fell for ds only 4 months later, so if that hadn't happened, i wouldn't have ds, but still its hard to understand why , and you don't forget
just take each day at a time AT the mo'.

Swaliswan · 12/02/2008 08:58

My mc was a long time before DD. I conceived as a result of being raped so the father was different and it was an obviously stressful time. It was still very upsetting though. I was only 5.5 weeks pg but I had decided against abortion. I hadn't had any symptoms with that pg so I'm hoping that my clear pg symptoms are a good sign and that my urine sample was just a bit low in HCG iyswim? I hate the first trimester.

mufti · 12/02/2008 09:29

oh crikey, well that was a crisis pg, which is what we were talking about re the counselling.
the fact that you carried dd to term after that is good
did you have counselling after the rape?
hope i'm not prying here
the centres , as you may know ,do not just do the pg crisis work, they do a fair bit of post abortion counselling for example , it's never too late to talk things through and come to terms.
not sure what else to say, but, keep talking to GOD, the scriptures i used when pg with ds , given all the scare stories about my age, i had no tests, i think it's a psalm? , about all the parts being knitted together in the womb and perfectly formed. hth

Swaliswan · 12/02/2008 09:33

Yes, I had counselling for quite a while. It's not something that normally bothers me thesedays unless I'm pg. I didn't think that I would still feel like that after having DD though.

Maybe I should just go and check into the priory?!

mufti · 12/02/2008 09:38

, just for the rest would be nice
ds waking , have a good day

CaptainDippy · 12/02/2008 10:06

Just rest SS and be assured that we are thinking ofy ou and praying fory ou my lovely! Congratulations again

Praying for OJ, Steve and the children - praying he would be able to come home soon. xx

DH is off today - has a very bad back I am going to start preparing new thread .....

NorthernLurker · 12/02/2008 10:36

Praying for OJ and Steve - OJ has said he had a reasonable night at the hospice and she slept too so praise and thanks to God for that.

SS - praying for you and your baby

CaptainDippy · 12/02/2008 11:42
