Discovery Home & Health

Hi everyone.

Hope all are ok and little ones too. It's got very quiet on here!

Ualreadyknow- I feel as sick as a pig! All day long! It's worse when i get a bit hungry i was never this sick with Ciaran.
I can't even stand the thought of a gulp of fruit juice let alone a cuppa tea!
And yes i can definitely see my bump a bit, not so anyone else could mind.
I remember being about this stage when i was about 10w with Ciaran.
Me too with the sweet stuff which isn't like me.
I'll start coming on the due in May thread soon maybe after i get another scan i am just not quite ready yet.
My due date is May 20th.

Anyway off to chill out now. x

HI me!
Looks like i am the only one posting for now!

Anyway Ciaran has been a poorly boy. He has had a cold which then went on his chest so when he started getting wheezy i took him to the doctors and he has a chest infection.
We have hardly had any sleep the last couple of weeks because of teething then cold then chest infection.
He is just starting to get better now after a course of steroids and antibiotics which he finishes on Friday.
So he is already starting to sound better.

Anyway i have another scan booked for Monday so hopefully all is still ok.
Good sign that i still feel really sick all day.

Anyway i'm bored of talking to myself!
Hope everyone is ok. X

Not good news from me.
Had a scan this morning and there was no heartbeat present.
I lost it a few days ago.
Absolutely gutted and surprised as i wasn't expecting it.
I am booked in for an erpc on Weds.
I just can't believe this has happened again.
At least i have my gorgeous boy but i am still so gutted and upset.
Don't really know what else to say. x

Amy so so sorry to hear your terrible news having unfortunately been in your situation before i really feel for you hun. Your little boy will bring you lots of comfort this time tho i know Kian helped me keep it together each time i lost a baby. If you need to talk mail me.Much Love x

Amy- I am VERY sorry to hear about your loss. It will be hard at first, but you will get through it. You are still young, and although you lost this baby, you can try again. They say when you lose the baby it's normally because of some chromosome disorder or of something wrong, so that is natures way of weaving out the ones who will survive. I know you don't want to hear that right now, but you still have your beautiful son to wake up to every day. I am going to pray for you and your family

Thanks for the nice replies.
Well i had erpc on Weds all went ok i think. I am still bleeding alot so i will be glad when that comes to an end.
I am starting back to work tomorrow and am absolutely dreading it as i am feeling very up and down at the moment.
Thank god for my Ciaran though i only have to look at him to lift my spirits up.

I have requested an appointment with someone at the hospital as i didn't really see anyone after the scan to discuss what happened.
And we weren't in any sort of mood to take things in then.
I want to know if there is any similarity between this on and the 1st miscarriage i had as both pregnancies stopped between 8-9w.
They told me after the scan that the bleeding was most probably not anything to do with it and it was most likely the sac that the baby was growing in as it was not the right shape.
I also want some answers about the bleeding i had with Ciaran and some reassurance that when we are ready to ttc again that we can.
I all likelihood i am expecting to hear that it was just shit bad luck but i still want to hear a professional say it.
Anyway hope everyone else is having a better time of things than me. x

hello everyone.

amy-what did they tell you last time you had a miscarriage? i think i read somewhere that approx 20% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. do you have an incompetent cervix? i heard the only way they check is if you've had more then 1 miscarriage. hopefully your doctor will check into that, i know they can put a stitch to help keep the baby in there. well the good news is you have no trouble getting pregnant. maybe next time you will have to go on bed rest or something? deff. let me know what the doctor says. like i said, at least its easy for you to get pregnant, some people have to go through sooo many fertility treatments for that. keep us posted. (and try to relax at work)

nothing new here. i just feel kind of down all the time....don't really know why. doctor said its probably because i know i have so much work ahead of me with 2 kids under the age of 2. i still have to go to school and get an education, since i am only 21. i am still living with my mom but when she finds out i am pregnant she will kick me out for sure if i keep the baby (which i am pretty sure i am). there's some programs around here that help with child care while i go to school. i want to be an RN. i just feel like i am having such a difficult time doing everything by myself. my bf is living in a little studio about an hour and a half away with his brother because his work is up there but it's too small for my to stay there too. so ahhhh doing it by yourself is really hard. i see him on the weekends but all i really feel like doing issleeping, and i can't. i guess it will get better soon, hopefully....

Well ive been offline for the past 3 weeks due to one of oranges servers being down, so im trying to catch up on everything,,
Amy.. i am so, so sorry for you loss, i too had an early miscarriage last thursday,, i had only known one day and was shocked to get up the next morning and have it happen, i think it was a chemical pg, i am guessing it just wasn't meant to be for me, still hurts though. I hope you get the answers you need, and they find out why this keeps happening to you. ((((((((((hugs)))))))

well i am trying to plod on best i can and wear my stick on smile, feeling really down at the moment and mason is a really strong willed little boy like his big sister, i think ive got my work cut out with him over the coming years, Having a few probs with my eldest, i think her poor little body is being flooded with hormones :-(
so for now all baby plans are going to take a back seat as i think it would finish me off :-(

sorry im not much good at the moment, rubbish weather doesnt help either does it,
well i hope everyone else and babes are ok, and i will be back soon. x

Love Emma& Mason.xx

Hi girls.
Well have had a nice week of with dh and Ciaran.
We were going to put our house on the market when we found out we were having another baby.
So we were thinking why not still do it.
We are definately going to have more kids so we swill be doing it sometime and it will be something exiting to keep us occupied.
So we are looking and the estate agent is coming round on Monday to take pictures.
Its abit scary really as i love this house but it is only 2 bedrooms and getting smaller by the minute the bigger Ciaran gets!
We bought this really run down and have done loads of work to it so we have made a good bit of money.
So we have a good deposit to put down on a new house.

Ualreadyknow- Last time i miscarried they said it was just one of those things and they could see no reason for it to be anything other than bad luck.
This time they said it was nothing to do with the bleeding and there was a problem with the development of the sac.
My gut feeling is it is just bad luck and i have had it twice but i just think they owe it to me to have a professional sit down and talk it through.
I just didn't get any after-care at the hospital and left with alot of unanswered questions.

Angel- Sorry to hear your news i know it definately helps having Ciaran here this time.
Last time i didn't know i could have a baby now i do.
I really think i have just had bad luck but didn't get to see any doctors after the erpc.
The only person i spoke to about it was straight after i had a scan and we were in no mood to think of questions then.
I would have been happy to speak to someone over the phone but they are the ones who said they could arrange a meeting with the head gynaecologist.
And i am not turning that chance down when i can ask him all about the bleeding i had with Ciaran.
I have stopped bleeding now after erpc so i feel much better knowing the op has been successful as i had retained products last time.
Can't wait for a period now so i know all ok.
We prob won't ttc for a bit as i pretty much know i will bleed heavily again and im not ready to do all that again right now.
Maybe after xmas sometime.

Anyway getting late now.
Ciaran only went to bed at 9 as i took him to watch some fireworks from my mums summerhouse in her garden and he loved it and was so exited.
Love Amy. x

hi every1, been ages since i was on as its just been hectic here.

amy i am so sorry to hear your bad news, its good that u are continuing with the house as it definatly helps to stay busy but also make sure you have some you time aswell.

angel im also sorry to hear of your news, try and keep your chin up i know its hard.

well ive not had great news lately, a few months ago my twin sister got diagosed with NHL type of cancer. we were all so positive and sure the treatment would cure it...but because she has underlying health problems i think her body wasnt strong enough to take all the chemo.
i lost her a few weeks ago, she spent her last week in hospital with all her family with her. they told us when she had a few days left to live and that it was multiple clots which is the main problem, life is so cruel sometimes the worst of it is that the chemo didnt work they told us another lymph node had grown in her stomach..savage it is but my sister didnt know it had spread.

anyway thats my little rant had to try get it out of my system, have had a low day today so
thought id see how u guys r!!

well oscar is growing away bless him he is a little darling helps me alot to keep my mind elsewhere. hes everywhere n into most things, been walking properly for a couple months now and hes up to 12 teeth and trys to sing lol so cute. loads more to talk about but i will come bk soon as i need a cuppa!!

thinking of you all and when you have days where you are down pop on here for a yap, thats what im hoping to do to help me get through my loss!! xx

Just thoughtid pop on here quick before i sort the kids out for baths,

Amy,, Glad to see you positive and keeping yourself occupied with the house, I wish we could move to a bigger house! its crazy in the mornings here all of us rushing around getting in each others way lol!!
Hope you get to speak with your gynaecologist soon then maybe you will get your answers.

Paula.. so sorry to hear of your loss. I dont know what to say, sending you lots of ((((hugs))))
oscar sounds great, 12 teeth wow! ive no idea how many teeth mason has im scared to look i think i would loose a finger or maybe my hand:-o

well, i have to go i have a crazed baby hangingg from my neck...
back soon.
xx

Just popped on quick before i have to start dinner.

Paula- I am so sorry for your loss and hope you are doing ok.
Just goes to show that when you think you are having a bad time of things there is always someone worse off.
My thoughts are with you and if you need to rant anywhere ill be glad to hear from you. Lots of love. x

Angel- I love the sound of a crazy house it sounds mad.
We were thinking of a big family but i don't know now i don't think i could risk this all again.
Def 1 more though.
I have an appointment at the hospital on Tuesday so hopefully that will put my mind at rest.

Anyway better go and get the grub on i am making risotto and garlic bread!. x

Hi all,

Been a few days....I have just been SO tired. It's so hard chasing Luis around when I can barely get out of bed. I feel like a walking zombie sometimes. I wish I could just get a good weekend of sleep but I know that won't happen. Still naseasted and going to the bathroom ALL the time. Also, I'm kind of stuck because I like my doctors but from what I hear the only hospital they practice at is really bad. My friends boysfriends sister has a baby there and apparently they were really rough with the baby and somehow the baby got a broken arm. I want to go to the hospital I went to last time but it is 30 min away and I would have to get new doctors...so I don't know. I find out what I am having in 4 weeks, can't wait. I still have a big feeling its a girl. I have to go to a high risk doctor for my ultrasound because of my hypothyroidism. Can't wait!

Amy- glad to hear you're feeling better! The weather must still be pretty warm over there if you took Ciaran to see the fireworks! That's a good idea...I bet Luis would like that too...I just really hate loud noises (don't know why). That must be exciting going to look for a new house! This way you can be prepared for your expanding family. Good luck with that

angel-so sorry to hear about your loss. I wish you guys were pregnant with me so we could start our own board again, but when it's your time it's your time. No one is really on the May thread but that's ok...I guess that's not really a popular time of the year. How are your other kids doing? I remember when my hormones started rushing in...boy was I a b*tch!

Anyways, guess I'll try to hit the sack..ttyl

Hellooo??!!
Where is everyone??

we've gone quiet again lol!

xx

I'm here every now and again!
Everyone is busy with their little people!

I'm taking Ciaran to a soft play centre later and he loves it so we are having a fun packed day!

Angel- Am i going mad or have you got a ticker? Sorry if it's from the miscarriage.
But i'm confused didn't you have a miscarriage when i did? So it can't be recent or you would have got preg straight away and not had a break.

Anyway i have to get ready whilst Ciaran is napping.

Is anyone else loving this age they are so funny.

Love Amy.

Ps. Forgot to say i had a hospital apt and they pretty much said that my 2x miscarriage seems to be just bad luck and we can ttc as soon as we want now.
I just finished my first af since which was very heavy and lasted 8 days so i feel like i have had a good clear out so to speak.
We won't be ttc until after xmas though i just want to enjoy xmas with Ciaran now and not be constantly worried if i am preg that i will bleed or miscarry.
This xmas is all about my boy and i intend to have a good one.
Staring from Dec 1st though i refuse to start xmas until then. x
