Pregnancy After Infertility IV

Pregnancy after infertility or fertility treatment can be a scary place, from scanxiety to unexplained bleeding to other random symptoms.

We are a supportive group of women across all stages of pregnancy who are used to being on the wrong side of the odds and still can't believe it's really happening.

A section wasn't discussed Sara. They just said he's very engaged( not sure what they mean by very) he's head down,facing the right way and with him being premature a natural labour will help with his breathing apparently.

Pebbles086 · 12/04/2017 19:42

Sorry you're back there blue hope the FFN levels are off due to the bleed and things settle right back down. Sounds like they are doing everything possible for you and you're nearly at that 24wk mark.
I am thinking off you.
friends sorry you're feeling a little sad about the induction. Silly question but can you still have an Easter egg? Get the biggest one you can find!

AHedgehogCanNeverBeBuggered · 12/04/2017 20:13

Praying like mad for you Blueroses, I hope BabyBlue is still tucked up safely in the warm.

MPP how are you and the wee one getting on? Hope you're both well.

Yay for a girl Trixie, have you got a name yet?

Hope all is well friends, I'm glad baby is engaged.

Sara how's the sleep situation? I keep waking up to find I've turned onto my back and panicking the baby isn't getting enough blood, but he's been wriggling like crazy the past few days so I suspect he's fine! Still haven't ordered a pregnancy pillow (DH is 6'6" so needs quite a bit of space!) but I'm considering it...

AHedgehogCanNeverBeBuggered · 12/04/2017 20:15

Forgot to ask blondes, how are you feeling post-birth?

Blueroses99 · 12/04/2017 21:15

Trixie glad the scan went well.

Good luck for Sunday Friends. Agree you should get a huge Easter egg in! I don't think it's unusual for people to find themselves having different birth experiences to what they wanted but focus on bringing a happy and healthy little one into the world.

Blondes interesting that you think the cervical procedure impacted the birth. Hope you and baby are doing well.

Sara hope you had a lovely birthday weekend. I'm having the same issue now, placenta has grown and spread over the front and now I can't feel a thing. Even on a Doppler it takes ages to find her behind the placenta. The only good thing about being monitored in hospital is that they listen in regularly. Apparently as baby gets bigger and the placenta moves out of the way it becomes easier to feel so hang in there Sara.

Waves to Custard, Pebbles and Hedgehog, and anyone else I've missed (sorry).

No news from me, just hanging on xx

Things are not going well for me. I'm going to update my blog rather than here just to keep the negativity away from this thread.

Love to all xx

Annonymous post was spam before anyone worries about what was said

Blueroses thinking of you, hope you have been transferred now

Friends really hope things go smoothly for you on Sunday (I also think a large Easter egg sounds like a good idea)

Sara sorry you're not feeling anything, hopefully you'll start to feel something soon

Hedgehog get a pillow you won't regret it, I just have a long body pillow which as I mostly sleep on, it's under the bump and between my legs it doesn't take up much room

AFM for some reason her movements changed yesterday morning, normally I can feel several kicks over the space of a couple of minutes then it'll stop and start again 20-30 minutes later. But yesterday I was only feeling the occasional single kick, even after food and drink and being in the position I most feel her, e.g after breakfast when she's normally active I felt nothing. So at lunch time I called the midwives as all the information says to report a change in movements, and went in so they could have a listen at which point we could hear her wriggling and she even kicked the probe! She's been back to normal movements ever since. I did feel a bit silly, but the midwife said they would much rather see me and be able to reassure me than not.

Sara237 · 14/04/2017 18:07

Blue my heart goes out to you right now. You're being so strong. Thinking of you and your girl and your DH x

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/04/2017 22:14

Always ring triage. That's what they are there for @custard

We went w few times as no movement yet as soon as plugged in and heart heart madam would kick and at im here

Blueroses99 · 14/04/2017 22:31

Thanks for the kind thoughts, it really means a lot to have lovely people rooting for us. If anyone is looking for the blog, it's over here:

Hope everyone is enjoying the Easter break.

Custard I agree with Blondes always get any worries checked out, about reduced movement or anything else, that's what they are there for. Anonymous' post made me chuckle, the irony of choosing this thread to promote fertility quackery.

Oh goodness Blue! I'm so sorry. I'm glad that you have the steroids on board. You're doing everything that you can do and more, I hope the fluid levels continue to replenish for you and baby D.I know exactly how it feels to be facing the negative doctors, just remember they have to be like that with their worse case scenarios. I know it's difficult but please try to look at the positives from today. No infection, more fluid and that you are in the safest place right now. Will be thinking of you and checking for updates when I can. Big hugs xx

Blueroses99 · 15/04/2017 08:04

Thank you Friends. I know you have had a similar journey at times and I'm thrilled that you've gotten so far, it's so inspiring. Look forward to hearing about baby friends safe arrival xx

AHedgehogCanNeverBeBuggered · 15/04/2017 12:04

Best wishes blueroses, I'm hoping and praying for BabyBlue. Not sure if you find others' stories helpful, but in case you do, a colleague's daughter was born at 23+4 and is now an extremely bright and 100% healthy 7 year old - hopefully your DD can hold on a few more weeks but even if not there's a chance. Flowers

Pebbles086 · 15/04/2017 19:27

blue your blog brings me to tears. Your strength and determination shines through your words.
I am praying things stay as settled as they are and the steroids are doing their job.
Your's and DH's family will completely understand if you need to rest, I am glad they are close enough to offer support.
Lots of love to you and baby blue x
I know other people's stories may seem irrelevant to your situation but a close friend of mine had her little boy at 24 weeks. She'd had a few miscarriages due to cervix issues too and also had a stitch but only made it to 24 wks with him. He's now a very cheeky little 3 year old, despite spending so much time in hospital and a lot of extra care at the beginning.
Xx

Hope you are all doing good and the new arrivals have settled in nicely

Blueroses99 · 15/04/2017 19:39

Hedgehog and Pebbles, thanks for your kind words and sharing stories of your friends preemies. Knowing that Baby D could survive and thrive now is keeping me going xx

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/04/2017 08:45

Your blog is so powerful and from the heart

Also know of a 24&25w born babies who are thriving now - tho took 4mths in hospital till original due date but got stronger every day

All crossed you and baby girl blue can reach 24w and then some xxx

loopylou1984 · 16/04/2017 09:01

Blueroses - I'm not around much anymore, but just want to wish you luck. Our girls spent 3 weeks in neonatal (born at 34) and while it's a place no one wants to be, the staff were amazing.
There were some tiny 24 weekers there while we were in, but I met one of the nurses for coffee the other day and she said they've all gone home now. As you said in your blog every day counts, and you baby is getting stronger and stronger. Hang on in there. Xx

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/04/2017 20:12

Hope your twins are ok @sammy. Wondered how you /they are doing x

Blueroses99 · 16/04/2017 21:13

Thanks Blondes. The statistics on survival and quality of life are quite stark but there are so great stories out there.

Thanks Sammy too, hope you and the girls are doing well xx

Sara237 · 17/04/2017 20:14

Blueroses -- just read your blog for today. Can't believe you are in labour though so relieved for you that you got her to viability. Maybe you already have her now? Thinking of you all and sending you every hope and best wish.
