hi a little update

Hi Everybody,

Just an update.

How is everyone doing? Sorry i have not been about much but have been back and forward to hosp.But it seems its time to move to 3rd tri so here i am and 28+6

For thouse who dont know me just a little info this is my second hg pg but sadly my first daughter Carys was born with a rare condition and sadly passed away after 14 hour of life.


I am not feeling to bad pg wise still sick and being sick but only every know and then.
Still taking all my meds and witing a few weeks before i try to come of them again (not managed it yet as everytime i plan to i start being sick again.

also about to have lots of work done around the house and gardens which starts in 3 weeks so will be incomplete chaos for about a month.Then need to redecorate and get stuff ready for Aug.

I start Hydrotherapy for my FMS on Friday.Which i hope is going to help as i keep having flare ups.

I had a scan last Wen and everything is still well and he is growing normally.

This little boy is keeping us on our toes

I have been in hospital again with threatened prem labour and have been given steroids , but everything seems to have settled down again.
And my OB does not think but cant say for sure that i will not go into labour.

I have got an irritable uterus which is causing problems and
my ob just feel with that all the scar tissue and adhesions i have from other things that it is all kicking of each other and making my uterus contract.

I did have 2 more weeks left at work but my GP has signed me of as there is to much risk for me and bump (and the kids i look after)while i am moving and handling the kids i look after .

So i am know off work.Not sure what my boss is going to say as she is away at the min so i have not told her yet.But i don't really care me and bump come first.

At my last app i talked about delivery after Carys passed away my OB said the next time he would do what i wanted to unless for medical reason he could not and as i had an emergency c-section the last time and there was only 5 months in between have Carys and getting pg that i felt that there was to much risk in trying to deliver normally and i am to scared something will happen with my scar during labour or something else will go wrong.And after losing one baby i don't want to risk anything so i would prefer to have another c-section.

He agreed and has booked the date So this little boy will be born on the 18th
Aug 04 which will be 38+5 weeks.It is nice to have a date but it make it all
more real. I still cant let myself imagine or think about Aug and that i will be at home with a baby .That just all to real to think about.So i have been putting that to the back of my head But i am sure everything will be fine.I need to start trying to buy things as we have nothing as we did not get anything but clothes before Carys was born so we have everything to buy. I have ordered my pram and that is at the shop being stored for us as i don't really want it in the house yet.

I am dreading the feelings that are going to come after baby is born.
Grieving for Carys and being pg is not easy the feelings are sometimes so hard.
Some people like my MIL to name one think everything is OK know that i am pg but it is not.

I am just counting down the days til i know i will stop feeling so sick and misrable.

I am having tightenings again today and pain so i am waiting for a couple of hours and if it has not settled i will be going to the hosp just to be checked over.But i am sure it is nothing.

Take Care

Love Natasha
Mummy to Carys Amber 15-16th July 03 and is really missed and loved and Joseph edd 27th Aug but arriving on the 18th Aug 04

Hi Natasha,

I'm Jenni, I was on the old HER forum...so its good to "meet" you! I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet baby girl. Can I ask what condition she had? I have 4 year old twins with an extremely rare metabolic disorder, so I am always interested in other conditions, as one of the twins has other serious issues going on...and one thing I've learned with having kids with such a rare diagnosis, is that a lot of people come to me and look to me for answers...and that is a role I have taken to quite well, educating people is important...so I'm really not being nosey (but if you think I am, and are uncomfortable with the topic...that is totally fine with me, I understand!)

I'm glad that you are expecting again, and so sorry that you are dealing with HG...my twins' condition is genetic and the anxiety of thinking that this baby will have the disorder too, is sometimes too much to bear. (There is a 1 in 4 chance he will have it as well). Emotional times make my HG symptoms so much worse...so keeping on an even keel is sometimes a very hard balance. I'm glad you've found your way over to the new boards! I'm enjoying meeting new people! I'm glad you made the c-section decision with such confidence..GOOD FOR YOU! I just got done struggling with that and am so happy to have made a decision. I hope you are feeling OK for the time being...I know it won't last long, but those little breaks of illness are so welcome!!! Hugs!!!
