CONGRATULATIONS Glimmer!!! Glad your little boy arrived safetly in the end and you managed it with no pain relief! Hope your BP sorts itself out soon and you can just get on with enjoying little Noam xxx
Hi to Uki and Fettle , lovely to hear from you both, you were such a support to me in my 'early' days!
Popsy! Lovely to hear from you, congrats on the new job BTW! Saw your post on the other thread (I still lurk to see how everyone is doing), sorry you are not ready to join us here yet but hopefully you will soon. Glad you are feeling less MAAS too xxx
Jules, what a scary time you are having. I know it doesn't make you less scared but bleeding is very common in pg, I have bled during every pg but with DS1 it was the worst. I had very heavy bright red bleeding at 14, 18 and 24 weeks but they never found a reason for it. Don't know much about cervical erosion but it was suggested that the 14 week bleed was due to sex , the cervix is all soft and full of blood apparently and can bleed when knocked so it could have been the scan which set it off for you. Your bloods look good and I am keeping absolutely everything crossed for you honey xxx
SK, I get a lot of that too, I have 2 boys and everyone assumes I want a girl this time. I always tell them I want a healthy baby - it soon shuts them up! Does make me cross though, I also get the "maybe you can't carry girls" thing too , someone last year even went as far as to say to me that the baby I lost was obviously a boy and that my Mum (who had just died at the time) had taken it away as she knew I would like a girl! WTF?! My Mum would never have caused me pain like that and would have known me well enough to know that I would be grateful for whatever sex child I was given.
Janus, I get the "was this one planned" line too (DSs are 7.5 & 4.10). People are so insensitive, I tell them it was very well planned but that nature had its own ideas - again, that shuts them up. First day of Mat Leave spent doing very little, nesting does not seem to have kicked in - it better had do soon though as got loads to get through in the next 3.5 weeks!
Hotchoc, belated good luck for today - by now you must be holding your minichoc! Hope it all went well!
LovelyLou, glad your scan went well!
Mom, sorry to hear you are having such a tough pg, I am sure you feel that it is all worth it but it still can't be easy for you.
