Yeah Rhea, don't let him hurt you anymore hun, good luck for when you speak to him!
I think you'll love a pool although early labour a bath would do I think, but a pool sounds nice as you would have the space to move about and relax I am also hiring a tens, I used it for hours with my 1st but didn't at all with my 2nd although I had hired it. I am hoping to use with this one too , you'll be fine and if you need an epidural early on so be it

Hoping for no2, my pain threshold is near to non existent too, I had a really awful time 1st time round and based on that I did not think I could go through it again, but 2nd was so straight forward that to this day I can't believe I did it on gas and air alone :/

Keeptrying, I think it must be a consultant unit then midwife led unit would b if there were no docs just midwives I think you are right, just have an open mind and see how things go on the day , I will do the same

I am feeling ok this morning, going to watch Lego movie with kids in a bit so hopefully will manage it ok, fx x

So the doctor has my blood results back and I now new to go back in for a scan they think it's my appendix so scared and worried! If I need surgery isit safe for baby? Can they keep me awake just use an epidural anesthesia? I don't want a genreal anesthesia while am pregnant am so so worried I just want my baby safe xx

 

[keeptrying14]

Oh rhea when have u got to go back? They wouldn't do anything to harm the baby. Let us know what happens lots of hugs xxxx

 

[Rhea]

Am going in now, I can't stop crying am so scared and worried I jst want me n baby to be okay. Xx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Be strong Rhea and good luck hun x
If appendix don't worry many ladies have it and babies r fine

 

[jemfox]

oh rhea I just want to hug you! just think, after this pregnancy u can face anything and u can tell ur little girl about it

I want gas and air and go long as possible then if I need ill have a epidural, im also a mega wimp ! aslong as I can have a bath during/before/after labour ill be fine, I love my baths.
husbands just popped home on hes break at work and brought me a massive box of lush products! spoilt! no doubt its because footballs on later and it will give me a hour or so pampering time in the bathroom.

im getting quite worried about my hair now, I knew it was normal to fall out in pregnancy but googled it last night and apparently its not normal to be thinning and proper hair loss! read its normal after pregnancy so im going to be bald then!

any suggestions about my baldness?!?

Hiya girls,
Av had a horrible emotional day!! My bloods hav come back quite not normal and my liver function test is higher than usual waever that means? Av been so upset thinkin something is wrong wi the baby or am gona need surgery and my baby won't survive, ther still unsure whether it's my appendix or not ther gona have to repeat my bloods tomoz to see if they go higher, I told the doctor to be honest about the risk of surgery she said if my appendix are inflamed they will put me on antibiotics in hospital which should help without needing surgery, if I needed surgery she said it can bring on labour, I said if that was to happen with me being 21 weeks if I went Into pre term labour n my baby was born alive would you fight to save her, her blatant horrible answer was no, I said so you would just let her die? And she said yes as she's not 23-24 weeks yet, well I burst into tears I can't belive that if she was born breathing they wouldn't atleast try and save her they would just let her die, am so so upset and just can't belive how horrible that is

Am hopeing when they redo my bloods tomoz that they havnt increased and it's not my appendix, it's not a uti, I also had a scan to check overie sand there fine, I got to see a quick glimpse of the baby which was lovely, I just want my baby to be safe I feel like am failing her so much am constantly ill and now I may have appendicitis I feel like my body is failing from looking after her, I just have had enough of all this sickness and shitness, I deserve a break from it all I just want a happy healthy pregnancy am an emotional wreck right now and just so upset by everything xx

 

[jemfox]

hey rhea! oh no bless you! raised liver function? I work in a lab and do know that it can mean a few things so please please try not to worry yourself just yet, also the liver function results can change easily overnight so may not be as high tomorrow!

are they keeping you in and when will u know what they going to do?

I know its disgusting knowing they wouldn't help her! I cant believe we are still in the legal abortion limit, mind boggling.
darling your body is not failing her... look at what your body has protected her from already?! mentally and physically.

chin up
xxxx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Hey Rhea, please don't think you or your body is failing your baby girl. In fact you have been growing her nicely even though you have been through all this sh��t. Don't let speculation get you down, liver function tests can be raised for a number of different reasons and they are not always really bad, I had mine raised postnatally after my 1st and it came no nothing and they went back to normal on their on.
I can imagine how the conversation with doctors must have upset you but please take one step at a time hun, you may not need surgery, and if you do it doesn't mean you will go into labour and if you go into labour it doesn't mean they can't stop it ... Do you see where I am going? Don't let the what ifs upset you too much huni, I know it is worrying but right here and right now your baby is absolutely fine in there so focus on that and let tomorrow be tomorrow's worries.

Are they keeping you in or having you go back tomorrow ?

*hugs*

Jemfox, I have no idea about hair falling out? I probably should know but never came across it during pregnancy :/ would your midwife be able to help ( she is probably more clued up on it if she works in community !)

X

 

[jemfox]

ive got midwife appointment in 10 days so ill ask her, I googled it and apparently its very common post pregnancy!? so now im freaking out! I quite like my hair lol

google also says to use only natural shampoo on it, don't tie it up all the time and try not to brush often....im going to look like some raging pregnant hippy lol.

There keeping me in incase it is my appendix incase it ruptured or anything, av been vomiting today too probly becoz av been so upset and stressed am just feelin so down, I no I shouldn't worry about what ifs, and my baby is perfectly healthy and happy in me I just want it to stay that way, I can't wait till am about 26 weeks will feel so much safer then, I just feel drained I realy do feel like my body is just letting me down completely, Ino I shouldn't feel tha way I just can't help it

Thank you for your kind words girls, yous have put me at ease abit to about the liver function, I just don't understand what it all means an am just worried as In a lot of pain and my bloods rnt really normal, I just wana no me n baby will be ok 100%

Aww yess jemofox it's absolutely disguisting tha wer still In legal aborttion limit and r baby wouldn't be 'viable' to live! I mean if ur baby was to be born this early n breathing they shoud help them no Matta what even if the chances r extremely slim it's just unbelievable, it's upset me so much thinkin tha my baby wudnt hav a chance as she's not 24 weeks! I just need to get to 26 then I will feel much safer, n I just wana not be bloody sick and enjoy my pregnancy, it's crazy how much my baby does actually mean to me already like the thought of any risk to her just makes me sick n so hurt xx

 

[jemfox]

oh bless you. im sure ur bloods will be ok. liver function tests can easily rectify themselves and don't always cause major concern. im sure when u was in on a drip with HG your bloods were abnormal then also! I looked in my notes and my bloods were quite abnormal because of dehydration and im ok :-D

I know what you mean about loving the baby. I was never maternal, never cooed over babies or anything like that but my little girl is everything to me. if we feel like this now imagine how we are gunna feel when we hold them

xx

 

[Hoping for no2]

Oh rhea sorry to hear what you're going thru hon. I really hope all the test results are normal Tom and they don't need to do anything. Try not to worry hon, I know its difficult. Hugs xxx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

I know Rhea, I know you don't want to worry but can't help it, I would be doing the same :/
I wish I could come there now and have a look at your bloods etc and put your mind more at ease, I have seen quite a few ladies in your shoes and many ladies do have appendicitis and need surgery and they come out fine as well as their unborn babies, so please know that. But you may not have it at all!
I am praying that all turns out well for you both.

Definitely love my little baby too, it's amazing the love a mother has for her child, there are no words , just amazing chin up lovely x

 

[jemfox]

keep us updated rhea, we all thinking of you

mummy midwife its your sexing scan soon isn't it? eeeek!!

xx

 

[kanga86]

Oh Rhea, what an awful time your having I have no idea what any of it means, but I really hope the doctors figure it all out soon for you. You certainly deserve a break now, you are overdue some luck

I'm freaking myself out ladies, I'm feel as though I'm feeling too well on the ondansetron. I still get periods of feeling sickly, but I'm eating so much more and playing with Harry and doing jobs. Please tell me this is normal and that nothing has gone wrong? I'm sure I will be regretting saying this soon though lol xx

 

[jemfox]

hey kanga, don't worry! that's the joys of ondansetron! you still may have days feeling poop unfortunately but its amazing stuff!

xx

 

[Rhea]

Thanks girls am trying my best not to worry, I just hate bein in hospital I always fear the worse and jst sit here cryin feelin sorry for myself ha, it's just knowing tha Thers a possibility of surgery and although it can be safe Thers a risk it's not either n as my baby only 21 weeks it just breaks my heart thnkn I may hav to put her at risk, but the doctor did say if it is appendicitis then they will start me on antibiotics first and in slot of cases tha does the trick,

Am also gona ask about gal stones tomoz when I see the doc, as they never mentioned tha to me? And tha wud show up in liver function? Or in other blood tests?

Aww kanga am so glad ur feelin better ondansetron can work wonders, I hope u keep on improveing, what mg u take of it?

Thanks agen girls n hope everyone is okay xx

 

[kanga86]

I'm on 4mg, and it appears to be working. I don't think my HG is any where near as bad as yours though hun. Really hope you don't need surgery and that if it is appendicitis that antibiotics works. xx

 

[Rhea]

I was on 4mg up untill 3 weeks ago Hun n they did help to some extent for me, am really glad ur feelin better Hun, my right side is really painfull right now am hopeing tha it's just the worse possible ligment pain!! I really really don't wan it to be my appendix xx
