Pregnancy after miscarriage -support thread- Part 2

[cori]

A new thread for us all to share our mutual anxieties, hopes and fears.

Slink, def get them to pull their finger out. If it wasn't for an incompetant doctor my little baby could've been saved. I personally would insist on the IV antibiotics, its a PITA but well worth it. The stupid doc put me on a broad spectrum antib before and sent me off, a week later was back in and it all went pear shaped.
Also, how did you lose a stitch?? And what did it look like? Just for my future reference. Something else for me to obsessivly look for....

And to add, i can't believe the trouble some of you are having with your hosps, mine is excellent. The consultant has me in every week, i have all their numbers for anything, even if its minor, and he actually asks if i mind going in weekly! The answer of course is no... So i will praise them when i'm in on Tues.

Slink, Just when you thought you care was imptoving , grrr. How do you know you lost a stitch. How many did they put in?

Arabica, I bet you dont know what to think now. Maybe its a problem, maybe its not. Why do these things always happen on a Friday?

HellKat, am sure you are OK, I remember freaking out about that heavy feeling, but it is probably nothing.

I am fine apart from increasinlgy horrible heartburn/indigestion. Everything I eat causes pain, and medication only works tempoarily.
I wonder if Acupuncture will help.

it would be alot easier if there was a national standard of care, i think walk in epu's should be accessable to all and i can't understand why people who are high risk of m/c etc have to fight for early scans, it shouldn't be this stressful eh!

anyways HK, cool what articals did you find?
pain doesn't sound nice, have you seen anyone about it?

hiya FN hope your ok:)

boopert- i reckon if the infection has done any damage, ie travelled to womb, it would have by now anyway as it took a week for the results of my swab to come back. so im just gonna take it easy and if i have any more signs of infection ill go straight in. the stitch that came out when wiping was like beige embroidery thread - maybe slightly thicker, at first i paniced and thought that was the stitch! but as the dr didn't seem that bothered about it and said that the real stitch is embedded in the cervix and more like a tape. so i figured it was just other stitching they used.
your hospital does sound good boopert, which one is it?

cori- i was thinking of going for accupunture, i have no real reason to go though, can you just go anyway or do you have to have a symptom/illness?

Yes, there should be some national standard for care and in particular protocol that should be followed for cases like incompentent cervix etc. I would have thought the miscarriage association would have been lobbying for something like that.

Slink, you can have Acupuncture for stress, and relaxation etc. However you could always call one first and tell them about your circumstances and see what they suggest.

hello all hope your all ok. Hk lovely hope its just relaxin causing muscle pain and will be thinking of you!

Slink and Cori- I can't believe it when some people say all they have to do is ring up their EPUs and ask for appointments for scans. When I rang the EPU to check they did early scans, the receptionist went on how it wasn't a "self-referral service" and that I'd have to get my m/w or Dr to do it. I told her that the m/w wasn't going to do that. I don't know what I would have done if my Dr hadn't been prepared to ring up. Probably burst into floods of tears.

amazingly i have not suffered from stress since i gave up uni! well apart from the worry and stress this pg is causing, i wasn't counting that

although i got stressed today as had a run in over kids with my friend over the kids, her dd accused my ds of bullying, the teacher told my ds off after only hearing her dd's story and i did too and then later ds told me he really had done nothing! so i rang the friend and explained it wasn't bullying it was just my ds and his friends telling her dd and her friends to go away as the girls were trying to ruin their game.
my friend went nuts saying my dd is no liar blah blah ffs some people drive me nuts, her dd is quite an attention seeker and screams bullying at any opportunity! i don't really blame the boys for not wanting to play with the girls, hardly bullying is it! grrrrrrrrrrrrr

oh sorry for the rant, i was trying to talk about accupunture - doh!

Morning all.
Heavy feeling is easing, now replaced by familiar sharp pain in pelvic bone and horrid, grinding backache. Oh yes spd is here with vengeance!!! Looks like I'll be ringing the physio on Monday.

G4P- How are you hun? Have you got a bump yet?
Pet- Wow!! at your Epu! Ours is amazing!!! In fact they took over my scans totally and sorted out my 20 wk one. They also made my appointment with the consultant (so did my mw ) and have been absolute stars.
Slink- Can't do crappy links on this keyboard but either type in incompetant cervix in your search engine and mainly look in the American sections & articles or I can send you some. x
How's everyone?

Bloody hell it's early

Slink- I've come across many mums like that. They refuse to believe their little darlings can be anything but perfect. Grrrr. 9 times out of 10 those little darlings are in fact satans spawn . The mums who know damn well their kids can be sods but are good normally have little sweethearts.

Morning Hellkat, how you doing how far on are you now?

I woke up with a flat belly its only big by t time

How early do some of you surface???? Just managed to get to shop to buy milk! Happy now, got my pint of tea

Working early im afraid nothing exciting, just gotta get it done before toddlers wake. I always seem to wander off my inputting to websites though

Hellkat- you got insomnia too? I was awake from 2-4am this morning, then awake again just after 7. DH has gone to visit the ILs (yes, missed out on that visit!) so just been to McDonalds with DDs. I'd recommend their Mini-egg McFlurrys. Yummmmmm!

Maddy- I'm now 14+2. My bump never goes flat lol just looks larger as the day wears on.
Pet- I used to be an insomniac (used to take at least 2hrs to drop off then wake every hour) but now I'm dropping off ok just always wake really early. Even before this pg my normal waking time is between 4.30 & 5.30am. A good hour before anyone else (I get peace lol).
That's my favourite time of day when the birds start singing, it starts getting light etc.

I juts made a bannoffie pir from scratch. Which is amazing for me as if i can buy something ready made then i will. Unless its for the kids of course then i go freezer cube mad.

It is ok for me to have cream isnt it aslomg as its pasturised?????

hellkat thats great, are you starting to feel posotive about the prenancy yet? Ill be better after my scan on tue im sure but ive got this awfull feeling something is wrong. I feel as fit as a fiddle, i havnt felt any flutterings yet but i have got a belly. Im 16weeks now.

I'm impressed!!! I love banoffee pie. Any going spare I'll quite happily have
I've felt "bubbling" and the other night felt a distinctive somersault but that's it. Yep feeling positive but still panicking over twinges & pains (guess I always will).
Good luck for Tuesday. My next scan's on 4th May (20wks).
You do realise your post was 666

Banoffee Pie.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Mmmmm. Banoffee Pie. Terrible sweet tooth and I've had that McDonalds mini-egg McFlurry. Must resist, must resist! Oh hell, where's the chocolate!

Ohhh cholcolate. Will go and get some.

Gosh, how long have i been on here???!

Bannoffie pie was the best, i am so proud of myself. I was sick in the night but that must have been the chinese not my pie

im lost 666??????

HK your so lucky to have felt the flutterings, i cant understand why i havnt. This is my 6th pregnancy and they say you should feel it early. Oh God just ignore me, i just cant stop fretting. Roll on tue.

I have some pie left over, i jmay have it fro breakfast, virtual slice anyone?????

Yes please!

Your post was number 666, you know the spooky devil number lol

Can't wait for dp to get up soon so I can retire back to bed. Been awake since 3 and up since 4, shattered, stinking cold....ohhhh I love my bed .
How's everyone today?
Pretty gorgeous here today for a change, bright blue sky & sun instead of greyness.

Poor you, Hellkat. Another sleepless night. I think I'm getting over my cold although I was awake from 2-4am, then DH kept me awake because he's got the snuffles and kept snoring. So in the end he went down on the sofa. Then I got woken up by DDs just before 7. Then when they went downstairs, DH came upstairs and went back to bed, without giving DD2 some breakfast! So I ended up having to get up to get her some.

Actually it isn't all bad. He vacuumed downstairs this morning and has taken DDs to the Space Centre in Leicester with my Dad. I can't remember the last time I had hours and hours on my own. I might even go for a long bath in a minute!

Any of that Banoffee pie left?

I think i've caught your colds.....
Up all night with dh, he had severe d&v and shivers. Better today so think it was food poisoning...

So today not so good! Want sleep, can't sleep, trapped nerve in back, hurting my arms,legs etc...
Whinge whinge, moan moan.

Am I too late for virtual banoffee pie?
I'm having a thing for melted cheese atm, on burger, shep pie, toast I don't care! I wouldn't really say I'd had cravings before and I don't suppose this is either it's just in my head. Any food is what I want!
Boopert -DH not good I'd stay away so I didn't catch it! But then again when my DH is ill I can't help thinking it's just 'man' illness and I don't give him any sympathy!
