gail great scan news! And same as me, boy due in Jan Smile

Promised an update on obstetrician appt today. It was very interesting, saw a lovely lady who had read all my notes so I didn't have to repeat everything for the millionth time. She described my labour with dd as progressing really well initially, then wow, oh dear, poor you! Think that's the best summary of it I've ever heard! Anyway, she's noted down my preference for an elcs but I'll meet with the consultant midwife who will talk me through vbac options too. I'm not totally closed to vbac, but almost! Due to high bp at the end of my last pregnancy they'll be keeping an eye on me more font than a normal second pregnancy and I'll also have a growth scan at 36 wks and see the obstetrician again. So although lots of appts will be a pain logistically I'm also v grateful they're keeping an eye on me.

Next stop physio tomorrow for sciatica and hips - it's all fun and games!

Sorry if I've missed news, hope everyone is well and sending you all posifrickentivity!

Scan didn't go well, baby had died at 10+5 so just 3 days after last scan. Beyond devastated, had really let myself believe that this would be it.

Good luck to everyone with the rest of your pregnancies Flowers

Oh no Internet so very sorry to hear this. Take care.Sad Flowers

Cakebaker35 · 09/09/2014 17:07

internet I am so so sorry, hope you have plenty of support in rl and thinking of you x Flowers

OneLittleToddleTerror · 09/09/2014 17:07

internet I'm so sorry to hear your news. It's devastating. hollyben I can imagine how hard it must be for your friend. Why is it there so much sad news around babies?

gail congradulations on having another little boy. I'm sure your DS would be so happy to have a little playmate.

corporie take care. I think it's the sitting down for far too long that's casuing the SPD. Hopefully the flight is better as you can stretch your legs up and down the aisles at least.

baby I must be living in a cave. I didn't hear any negative news at all. Why should there be?

cake sounds like the appointment went well. Hopefully the physio tomorrow helps too.

internet I'm so sorry, that's really devastating, hope you have lots of RL support Flowers

Babytinx11 · 09/09/2014 18:12

So sorry to hear that internet sending big hugs

one I didn't mean negative news about the royal baby lots of people on Facebook ect have been really nasty about it though i meant all the news about gaza and stuff it's all depressing so seeing a nice news story is a total yay moment lol specially as DH insists we watch the news every day and more than once if he isn't working :( lol

amicablemoomin · 09/09/2014 19:16

internet so so sorry to hear your news. how heart wrenching for you. I do hope you are getting taken care of in RL. Thinking of you.

CorporeSarnie · 09/09/2014 20:11

internet, we're all here to hold your hand if you need it. Thanks take your time to rest, recover and recoup.

SuzyBean · 09/09/2014 20:22

Internet I'm so sorry to hear your news, thinking of you x

blankfornames · 09/09/2014 20:32

Internet, so sorry to hear your sad news. Sending lots of hugs to you.

tannyLoo · 09/09/2014 20:34

Internet, I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm not surprised to hear that you'd relaxed a bit, and it must have been horrible to find out at the 12 week scan. I hope you are well supported IRL and we'll be thinking of you. Thanks

I have a scan myself on Thursday, I'm 15 weeks today. Am still petrified I'll be out, so am already getting the fear.

OneLittleToddleTerror · 09/09/2014 21:47

baby I have seen a few nasty thread on MN re the royal pregnancy announcement. (One on yet another scrounger and another on the hyperemesis). Thought it's just because of the nature of anonymity of Internet forums. Can't believe the nastiness is on fb too.

littlemissy12345 · 09/09/2014 21:49

internet, so so sorry. Hope you're being looked after.

I've seriously got the fear for my scan next Tuesday. But I'm still feeling generally rubbish so taking that as a plus point.

ilovechops · 09/09/2014 22:37

I'm Sorry I haven't been on here for a while as we are mid house move packing up so everything is chaotic.

internet I was so sorry and sad to read your post. It's so awful and sad and there are no words that can help. I hope you are finding support from friends and family you poor thing.

No huge news here, felt absolutely great end of last week and weekend so much so I went for a private scan On Friday and she put me forward a few days to 12 wks. I'm still not feeling relaxed tho, perhaps I will more so at the NHS scan which is next wed when I will be 13+5 according to my new dates. Fingers crossed.

Glad to hear some good news from others and cakebaker glad you've been listened to..gives me hope!

Cuppachaplz · 10/09/2014 07:57

internet I'm so sorry to read your dreadful news. I hoping you are taking time to take care of yourself and are being well looked after. Flowers

cakebaker glad to hear they are listening to you. And yay for not having yo repeat history ad infinitum. Makes a lot of difference with stress, doesn't it? I hate seeing the consultant now because whatever the reason it turns into a debate about VBAC (which is what I want, with as little fuss and intervention as possible). If it weren't for the brain lesion, I think that I would by now have given up going to consultant appointments! Glad to hear you are having a much different experience :)

squiz that's good odds in your favour! and the thyroid is very superficial, so hoping biopsy is nice and simple for you after baby squiz arrives x

corpore take care during that flight. Embrace the sexy socks! X

chops hoping the scan brings you the reassurance you need.

baby I agree, the vile comments are really upsetting. My heart goes out to the poor woman for having to announce her pregnancy to the whole world so early. I can't imagine what that must feel like, however I do know that I have told a scant handful of people at 25 weeks, and still hate anyone knowing for fear of having to un-tell them. To have the entire nation witnessing my personal pain would have been more than I could bear. Irrelevant of ones views on the monarchy, surely any woman should understand that?

MW appointment yesterday went well. Finally have matb1. HB 120 and strong, once LO kept still enough! She's happy that I finally have a bump, even though I'm unhappy that I look like an over inflated zeppelin. BP and urine normal, so pre eclampsia unlikely to be causing symptoms, likely stress headaches and carpal tunnel, which physio should help with. Just sitting tight until neurologist appointment in a few weeks now, trying not to stress to much about that...

Positive vibes and sticky hugs to all x

fedupofrainydays · 10/09/2014 08:46

Just delurking (sorry, having the most stressful time with the house / building work - think I almost went into labour with the stress yesterday :( ) but just want to say to internet how sorry I am to hear your news :( how devastating after seeing all was ok at 10 wks. Mc doesn't get any easier or fairer does it. Please take care of yourself and hope the right one stays put very very soon.

GandTnow · 10/09/2014 08:51

Internet I'm so sorry to hear your news and hope that IRL people are caring for you and giving you the time you'll need. Thanks

Gwlondon · 10/09/2014 15:13

InternetFOREVER I am very sorry.

bythesea82 · 10/09/2014 15:32

internet I am so sorry, I am sending big hugs as there is really nothing to be said. Look after yourself Thanks

InternetFOREVER · 10/09/2014 18:25

Thanks all. Today has been horrendous as DSs first day at school, managed not to sob during drop off or pick up but the timing couldn't be worse. I hope I get to see a consultant on Friday as I haven't seen one at all this pregnancy, and have so many questions about the medication I've been on, and what next.

Hope to be back here in the future, although it all seems so hopeless at the moment. Hope everything goes smoothly for the rest of you, god knows we all deserve it.

Babytinx11 · 10/09/2014 18:42

internet I really hope you get some answers and 1st day of school is tough enough with out this to sending massive hugs

one I honestly think for all people moan about the publicity and attention she gets over other people that we get a better deal of It when my sickness was really bad the last thing I would have wanted to be doing was posing for pics and just after giving birth with DS I just wanted to curl up and sleep certainly not be posing fully made up outside the hospital stuff like that as well as the Hg really make me feel bad for her

Alb1 · 10/09/2014 19:16

tanny good luck for ur scan tomoro

internet fx you get some answers on Friday and hope your back here soon

Still no baby here, now 11 days past due date, thought I'd lost my mucas plug a few weeks ago but guess not as iv been loosing it since yesterday and it's deff it this time as it's bloody (sorry tmi) lost a lot more plug this evening after a long countryside walk and have been feeling especially rough today so still tryna stay hopeful il manage to avoid induction...

squizita · 10/09/2014 19:42

Alb bloody show sounds hopeful! Thinking ejection thoughts for you! Hope you're too busy to post tomorrow as you're pushing! Wink

I'm worrying because I keep having late pregnancy symptoms (raised heartbeat easily, tired etc) which are ALSO thyroid symptoms (though my bloods came back normal). My GP went through the bog standard symptom list ... so brain is paranoid even though I KNOW I had these the very day my bloods were proven normal!! Angry with myself.
Roll on delivery... pfft.

amicablemoomin · 10/09/2014 20:05

sounds hopeful alb.....fingers crossed for you. Nearly there squiz - keep breathing!

Internet hope you get the answers you are looking for and are back here very soon.
