http://athousandmiles.blogsome.com Just another WordPress weblog Tue, 02 Jun 2009 13:10:01 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Baby girl born alive & well at 38 weeks exactly. She was small but bigger than we expected & is already piling on weight. We’re grateful beyond belief, she’s wonderful. I still feel vey sad, which is a surprise to me.   http://athousandmiles.blogsome.com/2009/06/02/all-over/ I remember writing an eight weeks to go post when I was pregnant with J. I can stay sane that long I wrote then. It didn’t seem like a long time, now it seems like an eternity. I’m having a bad day - if I had written this yesterday it might ... http://athousandmiles.blogsome.com/2009/03/24/eight-weeks-to-go/ Must have a genius baby or could it be that the sonographer really screwed up my scan last week? Baby seems to have grown 2 weeks worth in a week - the doctor was diplomatic & said growth isn’t always linear blah blah but conceded that the results ... http://athousandmiles.blogsome.com/2009/01/22/well-2/ They re-doing the scan this morning - in an hour. Last night I fell asleep feeling the baby bouncing around. This morning as I lay in the bath he/she gave me three big kicks in a row & I saw my tummy move each time. I hope it’s okay.  http://athousandmiles.blogsome.com/2009/01/22/repeat/ hardly reassuring. It was the shittiest scan I have ever had (& I’ve had a lot). Cervix is fine, pretty much the same as with Jasper (35.9mm) & no funnelling. UA dopplers were okay - left side was excellent, right side a little less good but nowhere near even ... http://athousandmiles.blogsome.com/2009/01/15/the-more-things-change/ We’re leaving for the scan in an hour. I have sweaty palms, constantly running to the loo, churning stomach, headache, I feel breathless & dizzy, my heart is racing. I’m close to tears. My hands are shaking. My feet are cold, I don’t know what shoes to wear. I ... http://athousandmiles.blogsome.com/2009/01/15/920/ but it is moving so slowly. The last four weeks have dragged by. I’m 21 weeks on Friday, I have the anomaly scan tomorrow with cervical assessment & uterine artery dopplers. I even have a c-section date. I thought it was hard with Jasper? This is a billion times ... http://athousandmiles.blogsome.com/2009/01/14/been-a-long-time/ The scan yesterday was fine, the baby appears to be growing well & I’m approaching 16 weeks. I have another scan in 2 weeks but I’m already feeling anxious. It is hard to check the hb with the children around, I don’t want them to know yet. We ... http://athousandmiles.blogsome.com/2008/12/09/fast-foward-please/ 15 weeks tomorrow & decided to stay on the cyclogest through the second trimester (worried about PROM). For a week or so I’ve thought I felt movement, but not anymore - which means 1 - I imagined it 2 - I didn’t imagine it & baby is in some odd position I can’t ... http://athousandmiles.blogsome.com/2008/12/04/part-two/ I was lying in bed debating whether or not to get the doppler out when I started running through the dead baby scenario - next scan, grim faces, no heart beat, telling Simon it has happened again, arranging childcare. I hate it, I hate it, I want ... http://athousandmiles.blogsome.com/2008/11/29/last-night/
