I'm shattered

Labels: - Thursday, 4 November 2010

I'm shattered, and sleeping beyond what feels human. Poor Mike's running round like a headless chicken, whilst I feel like I've done a none stop year of keep fit! Wouldn't be so bad if I had. 
Eh we'll have to see how it goes, it might be a case of a trip to the GP for another thing on the ever-expanding-list lol.
The scan went well both of the children came in, (Since I only have 2/3 living with me). The babies heartbeat was pumping along happily, but before they allowed the kids in or even me to see she turned the monitor away, she did say she was going to, but it made me feel bad, all I'm going to say is that the last time a pregnancy scanner was turned away from me it was for a negative experience and in no sense of any word/fore-warning, was I reassured until that monitor was turned round where I could see it. But, baby is happy, and growing normally, and we were given a free scan photo too. The next scan is in a months time, I've got to make the appointment for that at the early care, and I've also got to sort out the 'normal' midwife, but that's just a case of visiting the GP to sort out.

Went to the scan and Jay saw the scan picture, I showed him where the baby was, he said 'mummy I didn't know your tummy was that small'. hehe love you Jay x

The scan

Labels: - Wednesday, 20 October 2010

We went for the scan today and I had testing for an infections because of all the pain that I've been having, which is possible, as there was white blood cells in my urine test. (I've got to wait until further test results come through to find out for definite). 

Laying there in the scanning room they prepped for the ultra sound, she said though they know I'm pregnant, if nothing shows because of the early nature of my pregnancy they couldn't legally class it as a pregnancy. 
OK. Well they ran the scanner over and there was 'our little pregnancy', lol. She goes, 'Yes you're definitely pregnant, do you see the small polo looking mark on screen, that is the babies’ sack'. I was so relieved to see baby in the right place, I wanted to cry,  but somehow managed to hold it in... at that moment, I also felt a tad on the strange side, because I was laying there eating a polo mint at the time! 

The next scan is now next week at the early care unit. They're going to see if babies heart beat will show, (She said it should). 
Then all being good I get passed on to the midwife team...

Oh and then some baby shopping, which I'm so itching to do lol.

hehe, oh, and pudding's due June 17th 2011. :)


Take care

Alot in one week

Labels: - Sunday, 17 October 2010

A week today, I found out that I was pregnant, I've never found out so early on, a part of me was bursting to go to the highest point possible and announce it to anyone who'd be prepared to listen, and another part of me thought it would be best to hide, we've all heard of the 12 week danger point. Well, at the point I found out I was only 5 weeks gone. To many 'what if's', and 'how do I's'?
I chose a select few to tell, and with all but one of them, it was okay. I let it be, because I was happy in my own little bubble anyway.
And then the problems started.
First the pain, that felt like my muscles were being torn which left me breathless, then the spotting, followed by internal stabbing.
I rang up the doctor, Friday lunch time, and told him I'd done two positive home pregnancy tests, you see at this point I'd not even told the surgery. 
The doctor, clearly worried about things, including an ectopic pregnancy did a hospital referral over the phone. Mike's parents were away, (And still are). Mine are over an hrs drive. I was at a point of not knowing where to turn, I had to explain to what became two worried children whiles getting upset myself, and chewing the ears off a rapidly becoming stressed, Mike.

The hospital was the usual, prods, pokes and the blood tests. I stayed there whilst they ran the test results on my blood, the first results showed one positive thing here to us all, our tiny sprinkle sized baby was still alive. 

I was made a second appointment, for the second set of blood tests, two days later, (Which was today). For my hCG numbers. Basically, they can help detect early problems or multiple babies. Being in alot of pain last night I really didn't know what to expect. But I was told that the blood test results had to increase ideally about double. And the hospital rang me tonight to tell me that they have, I was so relieved that I'd got a lump in my throat... and I was on the verge of tears telling Mike the good news.
Whilst we know we're not out of the woods, and I still hurt, at least things are feeling a little less threatening right now. 

~ Tuesday morning we're going to the early pregnancy unit, (They help care for babies 13 weeks and under that need the extra care). For a scan to see how we're going, I'll update you when I know what's happening and where we stand. Keep your fingers and heart strings crossed for us.

Love Lou x
