Anyone fancy a good moan? Things are kind of quiet round here...

I'll start:

I'm so fed up of strangers going "Is she really two?? She's so tiny!!!". I know they don't mean anything by it and are just making conversation, but it still hits a nerve every time.

Thanks PearHead I went in today and saw the screening midwife who was very good. It's rare so there's not much info on it, but I understand it as your body attacks the baby as a foreign object. Although that depends on the baby's blood, if we match it's OK.
So it's blood tests every 2 weeks to check the level of this stuff. If it gets too high so baby is in danger we deliver, if it is low we carry on as normal. She said it's usually fine. But seeing as hospitals tell me things are fine that aren't a lot of the time I'm still worried, but at least they are checking and on the case.
She thinks I got this from a badly matched blood transfusion at DS's birth.

Ah yeah Facebook! I have to delete it occasionally. I know that I'm unreasonable but the leaving presentations, early announcements etc do get to me sometimes. Then I feel bad as I should be happy for people, which I am, but I don't know, it's something about the confidence of it all, the way they know everything will be fine

Miaow that's awful about the photos.

I hate all pregnant people. Getting pregnant was a chore and staying pregnant was an even harder chore. I didn't get to buy one single item of maternity wear. By the time I developed any kind of bump I was already on hospital bed rest and wore only hospital gowns. Even on the day I gave birth you could barely tell I was pregnant. Even with close friends or hard won pregnancies (okay maybe not the really hard won ones), I still have to fight the tears and bitterness. I think I might be scarred for life.

Hi nice to see we're all still here I read someone the other day on a site who said they'd bought there pran before the 20 week scan I mean that's rediculous I was ill from the very start so knew it wasn't gonna go well but come on a pram before the 20 week scan

Hello everyone, I had DD at term in October. The blood level did get almost to the level they'd deliver so had some scary moments and the pregnancy was tough. She did react but not badly thankfully.
A very healing experience after the emergency with DS.
I hope this doesn't upset anyone but wanted to update.

abbeyroadcrossing congratulations im really happy you finally got some healing from it and im sure it'll give others hope to read.

That's wonderful abbey, congratulations!!
