Hi all!
I'm back, phew. And it's all over. I felt like such a hypochondriac - the poor sweet anaesthetist's face looked so worried as soon as she heard about the heart condition, and she had to call up someone from the cardiac department and do an ECG and everything first. I kept saying I'm healthy really... but she had to go and get betablockers on standby just in case I reacted badly to the anaesthetic. She looked so terrified! It also didn't help that both the consultant and anaesthetist went 'oh really? okaaaaaay.... errrrrr.... we'll find something else....' when I told them I have an anaphylactic allergy to amoxycillin (the antibiotic they start pumping into you if things go wrong in the theatre). Anyway, those were the worst bits, as I knew they would be. I don't mind the surgery, it's the fear of having a cardiac seizure on the anaesthetist's table just before that's the real risk, or them killing me with antibiotics afterwards! Anyway, my first words in the recovery room were 'I'm still conscious, you know' (duh! ) followed shortly afterwards by 'OMG, I am STARVING, they wouldn't let me have any breakfast'. So the nurse was lovely, told me I must be ok, and wheeled me straight upstairs to the ward, where the ward nurse promptly went out and bought me a latte (with her own money) because she thought I deserved something better than the 'nasty machine coffee'. How sweet was that? And she brought me some cake too... So basically everyone was lovely, I haven't needed any painkillers yet (touch wood), it all feels much better, and I didn't die from a heart attack or anaphylactic shock which is a relief. And now I get to lie on the sofa all afternoon reading magazines and having my husband (who's taken a day's holiday) waiting on me hand and foot. And my brothers and their wives sent me a huge bouquet of flowers.
All in all, I think I got off pretty lightly - and I am so impressed with the staff at the hospital. All through the five weeks, four scans and today, they have all been so professional, sympathetic and friendly, it's made things so much easier.
Anyway, moving on... as soon as this bleeding stops, we'll have another go - and let's hope that this time we make a better one!
Loola, I cannot believe how much you have already done. Have you considered making your own going-away outfit? and weaving the fabric for it yourself? That should take you a while! Or how about knitting a marquee as a back-up venue? Hand-decorating some white china plates for all the guests? Dinner plate, side plate, starter plate, dessert dish, cheese plate... could fill some evenings. And when you've finished that, you could paint your initials onto every wine glass. I strongly recommend that you don't make dieting your next project. By the time the wedding comes round, you'd weigh less than 2 stone...
kmac, glad you got the car sorted! As for the kids, won't they all get the September lurgy within a couple of weeks? Than half of them will be off school anyway and the other half will have lost their voices. Just as long as you don't get it too... Maybe you should wear one of those cycling anti-pollution masks just in case. Anyway, the baby might as well get used to your shouting - I'm sure that over the years to come, a lot of it will be directed at him/her!
thanks Anna - as above, I'm fine, it wasn't the D&C itself that was the worry, but the risks of the general anaesthetic. I do feel a bit of a fraud!
Hi fothers
right, well, I'm going back to my sofa and magazine (great article in Red mag, all about how mega-families with 4+ kids are the way forward - excellent timing, reading that on the ward before a D&C! I decided not to leave the magazine behind, there were women crying all around me as it was and I thought it could tip someone over the edge...) and am going to see just how long I can milk my husband's sympathy. I reckon it'll have worn off by dinnertime and he'll be expecting me to cook, but hey...

at my last post - I think I was still high on anaesthetic! Actually, the relief that it was all over was immense - I was so tired and happy last night that I went to bed at 9.30 and slept so well... I know I was pretty lucky with the way it all went - there were a lot of women having it a lot worse than me yesterday. But for me, really the waiting was the most stressful bit. Anyway, fingers crossed, today's still going well, though I had a bit of a wobble at lunchtime - DH took me out to lunch and we sat down in a deserted restaurant. Within 10 minutes, 2 mothers walked in with 4 young kids, then another mum came in with a small child, then 3 women arrived pushing buggies. They then proceeded to show off their 6-week-old babies to each other and to talk loudly of the joys of new motherhood. We went elsewhere for coffee!
So - Sally, that's fab news, you must be so relieved!
Anna, hope you made time for a snooze...
Flossy, I've said congrats on your other thread, but huge congrats again!
It really is good news, and I'm sure your consultant is right and all will go well.Hello girls you prob wont remember me, I was around chartstalkers last year and the early part of this year then i kind of disappeared and now Im back, I got my bfp on 4th sept so im still getting used to that!!!! We stopped talking about ttc and we even stopped timing it to ov, and I had been going to the gym a lot and my fitness was at the best level it has been in my life so I have a feeling this may have halped a lot in conceiving.
We havent told anyone yet though, but I cant keep my gob shut for much longer lol
Love to you all, xxxx

Secondly another HUGE congratualtions to Flossy, I am praying that this one is sticky for you, Im sure it will be, I hope you have a H&H 9 mths too
Kitty, you anaethesised (I dont even know if that is a real word) post cracked me up! I am darning my going away outfit as we speak I am so impressed by you, I really didnt know how much you had to go through, I was not aware that you had trouble with your heart, which just goes to show how brave you are, and more impressively how you can keep a clear head and stay in good spirits through everything you have been through, you really are a star. I just hope things can get back to normal for you as soon as possible and I really hope you get the sticky BFP that you so deserve very soon.
Sally - Fantastic news that you won your court case! I am so chuffed for you! Im glad that the stress is over for you, Im sure that will make you and baby feel much better!
Mildy - How are you? Any signs of the baby coming yet? I will be thinking of you! Eeek so exciting! You are the first chart stalker that got pregnant since Ive been on here so it has been quite a journey and one I am eager to hear about!
Hope everyone else is well? I havent got any news just thought Id check in with you all. Hope you all have a fabulous and stress free weekend.

Mildly, my 2 best friends were pregnant last year and I went to visit them the night before they gave birth (they were both about 2 weeks overdue). I bought them curry. So either I am the stork and babies just cant wait to get out and meet me in the flesh 
or curry really does the trick when you are ready to pop!
or curry really does the trick when you are ready to pop! I tried to have curry last night but stupidly ordered a jalfrezi and didn't realise quite how hot it was - I couldn't eat it but OH did and felt really ill all that night I ended up eating just nan bread and papadoms! I reckon it was your influence getting those babies out
If he hasn't arrived in a week's time, I'm inviting you round choklatemunky

I'm good, had a bit of a down day on Sunday and just felt all emotional, but DH saw to that with a lovely roast dinner - he wouldn't let me help at all with the cooking (I was banned from the Kitchen) and it was sooooooooooooo good! Just what I needed! Happy today as I have hit another milestone (double figures - only 99 days to go!)
Ooooh not long now til your scan then!
27th? Guess what? Snap!! I was meant to have mine on 20th but they rang up to say they had to re-arrange and so now it's on the 27th instead.Hope the headache clears soon
Hi allscones, yep paracetamol is ok to take, just stay away from ibruprofen and other pain relief and hope you feel better soon
chok, happy double figures
And that roast sounds delicious sally, hope the headache is lessening for you
trudy, have a lovely holiday in Rhodes
And hi to welsh polly No news from me and no signs except for all the usual pains and twinges! It must be payback because I never really took much notice of the two week wait whilst TTC, so now every day feels like an eternity
I'm sure it won't be too long though Hope everyone else is ok and busy having fun
Oh well ive been feeling pretty pants these past few days with a bad lower backache and really bad trapped wind, the nausea has eased up a little and every little ache etc im worrying after the scare i had over the weekend with the bleeding Bean was ok seen the heartbeat but they said the bleeding was due to a haematoma lying behind the yolk sack whic will either absorb itself or come away as it did due. And ever since then all ive done is worry at the slightest ache etc oh i hate this 
Sorry to be down ladies. How are we all though?
