Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Lyn, Congratulations!! I'm really glad to hear that your pregnancy is progressing well especially after that frightening incident. I just eat up happy news. Has anyone had trouble finding a RE? I am anxious to get an appt. so that I can start figuring out my options for ttc again. Since you live fairly nearby Lyn, would you mind sharing your RE's name (if so, please send me a pm)? The RE in Albany hasn't sent me an application packet. I have to send that back before I can make an appt! (I'll call and pester them today). Maybe I am too impatient--it's only been 7 wks now since I lost my baby. I am a little nervous about ttc again but I also really want to! I should probably squash wild impulses until I gather more info. I would love to hear stories from those with MA (I'm UD) and IC who suffered a loss followed by success. Guess I feel a little desperate. I was told for years that I would never have a child. I thought I was ok with that but obviously that's NOT true! I absolutely ache over this.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Hi , Thanks for the well wishes, to answer your question, I was actually 26 weeks when I went into pre-term labor. I've been on the bed rest now for 3 1/2 weeks. Yes, I have been making short term goals, first was 28 weeks, then 30. Now, I am thinking 33 weeks would be great! (I have a friend who had very healthy twin boys at 33 weeks). Even though I KNOW I'm doing the right thing for our baby, I am starting to get VERY frustrated!!! At times, it does seem to help me to remember that each day I stay pregnant is a good thing. Hope all is well with you. Lyn 27, UD Preg w/#1 30w5d -On strict bed rest until this baby is born! -- Re: Update , You are doing fantastic! Thanks for sharing your great update. How long have you been " resting " now? Over 6 weeks? (For some reason, I keep thinking you were 23-24 weeks when your complications presented themselves. Do you find yourself making " little " goals? For instance, " I'll be thrilled to make it to 28 weeks " , but when you make it to that point, feeling as if it isn't good enough? (My dh thought I was a total nut, I'm sure ). Hope the rest of your " sentence " passes by quickly, but consists of many more weeks. /UU/32 Share bookmarks: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MullerianAnomalies/links/ Share files: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MullerianAnomalies/files/ The Congenital Uterine Anomalies Home Page: http://www.wegrokit.com/uterineanomalies/ es/ The Congenital Uterine Anomalies Home Page: http://www.wegrokit.com/uterineanomalies/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I wish you well Elaine, you are a strong woman and you are right to be there for your granddaughter. I see 70 children a day in school at a treatment program that didn't/don't have support from anyone. Perhaps if they did they wouldn't be here now. Most are from abusive backgrounds, both emotionally and physically. Your grand will appreciate it someday. Take care and good luck on Monday, I'll be thinking of you.

Grand goes with him to play at the therapist to try and see how he is and if there is any residual evidence of abuse that probably never happened. One of those sessions my dgter raged at the therapist and threatened her, etc, probably didn't do herself any good. anyway this morning the therapist called me to ask me how the visits ahve gone, it old the truth, they have been good for grand, she wants to go, she has fun, she interacts with her Dad and is very aware of him. The therapist asked my recomendation and I said I think shared custody would benefit the child but not half a week as grand will have separation issues from Mom but rather alternate days, they live close toe ach other. I also told her that my dgeter ahs been drinking a lot again and told her about the first visit when she was so drunk that she kicked grand out and I took her home. She asked me if I had ever called Children's services and I told her on numerous occasions. She said that my dgter would likey not like what she was going to write so that is a good head's up for me. I saw my therpist yesterday and the more I talked the more I accepted that I do need to go to court next Monday to hear the truth and not depend on her version especailly if it goes against her and it sounds like it might. I ahve been very clear about not going but now things are different. I really don't wnat to go but for the sake of grand I must be strong. So, the story continues. Until my dgter can finally say she needs help things will stay the same and I can only protect myself, keep my boundaries, stay strong and be a presence for grand.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Elaine, You are doing the right thing -- for grand. Our precious grandchildren didn't ask for this, and god knows they need us as advocates. Maybe in some way this is god's work: by acting as angels for our grandchildren we are forced to deal with our children. Otherwise, I may have written mine off a long time ago!!!!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 No, she hasn't been raging at me for some time now. Instead, I think she punishes me -- by withholding my granddaughter!!! Then, she forgets about like nothing happened. I just accept she has a problem, and I remove myself from it. Unfortunately, that sounds so cold hearted, but I would prefer she come over to my world than have to live in hers.....

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Angie, Sorry about your traumatic day...hope things get better and soon. Hugs, /Mi Update Hey all. The hearing ended in a standoff. The mediator was just that, only a mediator and he didn't rule on anything. I told him up front if we could come to any agreement we would have by now. I took Steph with me and even she pointed out the ridiculous at one part of the meeting. This was a discrimination claim and they started to argue whether or not I'm disabled now. Has nothing to do with each other. I basically said the party was over when they threw in the global agreement about this settling any and all claims I might have with the company. I said I wasn't going to sign one, period. (not unless they started adding a lot of zeros on the numbers they were tossing out). So we go to litigation; with the rest of the stuff. Guess my lawyer is going to have to work for it. OK can ya tell I'm in a mood? My head is pounding. The stress from this hearing along with the horrendous winds we are having I feel like my head is about to explode. I'm going to lie down for a bit while the house is still quiet. If the wind doesn't keep me awake. Later all!!!!

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 First of all I want to say Thank You to everyone that replied to my post, your help is very much appreciated. I am starting to finally feel a little better. The pain has calmed down to the point that I can somewhat handle it, just had to let it run it's course. As far as taking a bath, I tried that lastnight but my tub is so small that it almost causes more pain just sitting in it. My main problem with sitting in the tub, between my shoulder blades is very sensitive. What I'm saying is my spine is very tender to touch so sitting in the tub with my back up against the tub or up against anything for that matter, hurts. I took a shower and it felt like the water was burning the skin off of my body. I even tried different water temps but nothing helped. I never thought I would have a hard time taking a shower, I guess you never think when you are in the shower that someday it may be hard to handle taking a shower. Also, I didn't drink any alcohol, I have become strong enough that I can fight the urge instead of giving into it. I just remember how much pain drinking brought to my life and that is what keeps me from drinking. My 3 older kids seen me drunk more than I was sober and now that they are older I don't want them to see me drunk all the time again. My two youngest didn't see me that way and I don't want them to see me like that. I gave up drinking and I plan on keeping it that way. I have noticed that I now have more tender spots than before. My feet have been tender for a while now but I have a few new spots. Right now, wearing socks is completely out of the question. My right hip, on the outside all the way across my back is tender to the touch, clothes touching it hurts. My right thigh is getting more and more tender and then of course, between my shoulder blades is getting more tender. Thankfully it is summer and I can wear light clothes instead of heavy ones in the colder months. Because I don't think people would like seeing me run around naked....LOL Right now we can't afford to sneeze let a lone me go to the doc and have yet another bill. My husband's hours got cut down and he doesn't bring in enough to cover all the bills. We are getting so far behind right now that it isn't funny. Our bills are stacking up and his income is falling down and the doc won't release me to go back to work but since I have been to so many different docs they won't fill out the disability papers either. I have been trying to get my home business up and going but as you all know, working with this pain going on is almost impossible. But we will be alright and I know that, it is just going to take some time. Thank you again to everyone, you are all so wonderful to know.
