Jan / Feb 2017 Babies

I am ecstatic and yet so heart broken all at the same time.
Bea, I am super happy for you.
Jooste, my heart breaks for you...I don't have experience and cannot imagine what you must be going through but sending you love and light....

Simmybunz, how did your grandparents take the news?
AnaB wow 16 weeks already... I think you might be furthest of all of us on the group?
DebbieF, happy that you got good news.
Nnita &Mrs Gov how is MS? I almost want to say that mine feels more manageable but don't want to get ahead of myself just yet.

Afm, nothing new. The pains seem to be better. Will be 11 weeks tomorrow. Seeing gynae on 5Aug and will be doing assessments and bloods then. Been back at work and things have been crazy busy. I need to remind myself that I need to slow down....easier said than done though...

Jooste, you have been in my thoughts the entire day. You don't have to make any rushed decisions now - if you want to try again, do. I've never had a miscarriage so I cannot relate to the pain you must be feeling, but as you know I have had many many failed IVF's. I've also asked myself numerous times - when should I stop; am I insane for keeping on trying?? The road is not easy and as you say, that feeling or longing doesn't go away - it doesn't matter if you have one or two or more children - if that is what you want that ache will always be there. If you are ready to close the book, then do, but if you are not, speak to your doctor about the road ahead and about things that you could do together as a team. And remember, nothing you did caused this - no doubt or not having "enough faith" brought this on. You have the right to be angry, but just know this: God loves you!

Debbie, I'm so happy to hear that all went well with your scan. xxx

Pokkeltjie, the same to you xxx

Hi Debbie,

So glad to hear your scan went well
I have a monthly appointment with my gynae - I have the Fetal assessment scan with some else in 5 weeks time
So I will be seeing my gynae only in 8 weeks again and from there onwards every 4 weeks

You should make the appointment with your gynae for +/- 4 weeks after your fetal assessment scan

*Baby's - only 1

Good news at the gynae today, babies heart beat was 171, still a little behind on growth but he was as worried about that today, so blood tests next week and scan at Fetal assessment center on the 10th of August.

Do you ladies see your gynae monthly? I need to make an appointment back with my normal gynae but not sure for when? Fs said I should make it for after the the appointments with the Fetal assessment.

Jooste - I know I have been there so many times and the questions you have, why, I have only recently come to the conclusion that the little angels we Carry for no matter how long or short, had somewhere else to be and were not ready for this big world, you are in my thoughts as that pain is the hardest to explain.

Oh Jooste .....as I am reading through your post I get tears in my eyes! I feel like I know you already in such a short time - we both were on the "Trying to Conceive" and what awesome news when we both found out a week a part that we finally got it right - that we finally had a sticky bean. I was over the moon for you when you told all of us you got a positive especially because of your previous miscarriages.

There are no words that any one could say that would make you feel better, that would take away the hurt you are feeling or for it to make more sense to you.
It has been a hard & difficult journey for you, but you have to keep strong and keep the faith. I think we so easily take it for granted when we find out that we are pregnant and just expect that it should be smooth sailing for 9 months, when in fact it is nothing but a miracle when you do fall pregnant and are able to carry a healthy baby to full term. One will never fully understand why you have to go through it over and over - with each time being more unbearable. Don't blame yourself - naturally you would worry and be afraid that something could go wrong again. And you have the right to be angry at the world at the moment - it's not fair what happened to you...

I am so glad that you spent some time with the kiddies this morning - you need their love, smiles & giggles to get you through this

I couldn't even begin to imagine what you must feel like right now....dreading tomorrow's D&E! That has to be one of the worst feelings in the world But know that we are here for you - if you want to rant and rave, want to cry or just talk - even if it has nothing to do with conceiving or babies - we are hear for you!

Try and take it easy - I know it is easier said than done....keep strong - we are all thinking of you and have you and your DH in our prayers.

Sending love & hugs your way xx
