Hey guys x
We not good news for me im afraid, i ruptured my membranes again over the weekend, seen cons this morning baby is fine but well the chances are slim,,, i cant face the thought of termination so im riding it out, i will go with the small chance i have, my cervix is tightly shut and no infection is in there so well its a wait and see for me.
Prob wont be on for a while i will update as soon as i can,,, thanks for being great, cant believe this has happened again, and this early?
Love always Theresa and Jellybean ( hanging in there x)

Hey x
Aw ..... welling up here you two girls i cant believe they are finally here it all seems to have gone very fast ( for me anyway) but your girls are sooo beautiful
when i saw Cydnee-Mae it was like holding a tiny doll ......you two give me so much hope you truely do,, i just wish it could be a lot easier iykwim. Had nuchal yesterday and all fine with baby but i have low fluids?
its not at a worrying stage and cons doesnt think im leaking as cervix is shut tight, but looking back at all my scans with this lo its always been quite low. so seeinf consultant, yes Toni, Mr D and Mr A monday and they are going to make a firm decision on my stitch, Mr Davies is 99.9% sure he wants it ptting in on thursday but i have to go on an antibiotic drip with the group b?Im trying not to worry with the fluid thing, its at an acceptable level so " touch wood" i just wish someone would cut me a bit of slack iykwim after all i have had to face already, esp this year!
Rhi i text asking for your addy, come on girl!! txt me back!
Love you always xxxxx and love to Livvy and Cydnee-Mae xxx

Congrats to you both again, thanks for posting your stories. They both bring back loads of memories. Sorry to hear that yours was so scary Rhi, I'm so pleased that they induced you. Toni meptid is great stuff aint it?!
Please let me know when you are up for a couple of visitors Toni, really want a cuddle with a tiny baby - Austin is 20lbs 13oz and 8 months old now - where does the time go?!
Congrats on your weight loss Rhi, I'm still bfing Austin but haven't lost a pound - so hate you for losing all that weight already PMSL!
Only teasing

Aww Toni xx it made me so emotional reading of Cydnee-Mae's arrival into the world. No, I DID have the injection for the placenta, it obviously didn't work, but even if I didn't have the jab it should have come away sooner than that. But 'funnily' enough, the exact same thing happened with angel Jamie, I had the jab as soon as he was born, mw thought I pushed out the placenta soon after but turns out it was just huge clots (sorry!) and had the shock of my life when I had the urge to push it out almost 2 hrs later. Makes me think whether it had anything to do with my other losses.
Anyway, Livvy is fast asleep for the time being, she has a rash on her chest and belly, Mam says it's normal and it's better today so hopefully it'll clear up soon. Beth is really poorly bless her, has a fever and a stinking cough. I tell you it's bl**dy hard looking after a newborn and a sick 4 year old when you feel like cr*p yourself, I couldn't even lay or sit down with the pain 'down there' last night, it made me cry lol better today tho. But we're plodding along somehow. Omg did I tell you that J forgot to sign his paternity leave thingy in work so he's not getting paid AT ALL for his time off last week and this week, argh!!! Stupid man. Best be off, I have the munchies again, ooh and I'm now down to 9st 13lb so have lost a stone and a half
How is everyone? x Zoe, not ignoring you hun, will PM you in a min xxSpeak soon xx
Rhi xx

Aww I cant type properly im crying so much!!
Sorry you both had a bit of a rough time but we should all be used to things not being as straight forward as we had hoped eh!
I cant belive after so much heartache so many of us from TTCAL have had our miracle babies!
Look after yourselves and speak soon.
Loads of Love

part 2 ....
Arrived at the hospital at 3pm and had to wait in Reception for an hour ..... god I was bl00dy uncomfortable!!! Eventually got through the doors and had to fill out all the necessary paperwork before being examined. When examined I was only 2cm ... I couldn't believe ... another 8 to go and a possible 8hrs ahead of me!!!! Whilst examining me she decided to do a stretch .... of which brought on thecontractions alot stronger ... ouch!!! Went for a wander around the hospital and went outside for some fresh air ... eventually went back to the ward at about 7pm saw another MW and she listed into to baby's hb ... thankfully all ok .... watched Top Gear and then decided to have a bath ... stayed in the bath for over an hour but pains were getting stronger and thought I mustbe well on my way .... was examined after my bath by yet another MW and guess what .... STILL only 2cm AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR . At this point I didn't think I could take any more but was told I couldn't have anything other than gas & air until I was 4cm ... I was eventually moved over to the labour room and was put on gas & air (although I hate the stuff!) It did seem to help a little ... by now I'd completely lost track of time and some of it became a bit of a blurr!! I can remember the doctor coming in to take bloods etc, being asked questions of which I think I did manage to answer myself ... the only trouble with me & gas & air is I take to bl00dy much and end up on the ceiling LMAO!!! I was still struggling with the pain so opted for meptid, and was also given the anti-sickness injection ... yeah like that worked!!!! I also had to have the injection to deliver the placenta but at what point that one was given who knows LOL
I think between 12 and 1, nearer 1 though, I was examined again and was 4cm ... I can remember the MW saying you are now officially in labour ... "oh great still 6cm to go!", but no sooner had she said that she could see the head ....... after alot of screaming and pain Cydnee-Mae Grace was born at 2.20am, weighing 5lb 12oz, measuring 49cm ... she's an absolute clone of her older sister!
After the birth I wasn't too good ... everything went ok with the delivery of both baby and placenta but I was soooooooooooo sick and really heady ... I did manager to hold Cydnee-Mae for a short while but after that I was totally out of it! I'm not breastfeeding as it just isn't right for me, so Rich gave her her first feed ... I didn't really know anything about that tbh! I was given yet another anti-sickness injection but that didn't seem to work either!!! It felt as though I'd got a migrane ... whether I had I don't know!!!! Anyway, all was well in the morning after sleeping most of the time ... poor Rich! ... and I came home that very day ... such a relieve!!!!!!!!!
There were a lot of tears ... and still are tbh .... I still can't believe she's here and how lucky I am to have two such gorgeous girls.
After what we've been through, I never thought I'd ever see the day again ... I was beginning to think that TJ was our little miracle ... but now I have two miracles ...........................
I will never forget my angel babies, but do I hope they are watching over my two precious girls

How spooky ... I only thought this morning ... I really should post my story and also check that Rhi is ok as Livvy is a week old now. Glad to hear you're ok babe xx ... sorry you had such a rough time. I take it they didn't give you the injection to deliver the placenta then?!
Ok ... so here we go ................. I will do this in a couple of parts as bounty has a habit of stealing my posts!!!!!!!!
Had been feeling rough since the Thursday (4th) took TJ to school, went to see MW, then came home and didn't move off the sofa unless I needed the loo, a drink or food, until it was time to go and pick TJ up!! Woke up on the Friday on a mission, decided I needed to get all my washing and ironing done ... so put washing on, set the ironing board up and started ironing whilst watching "My Best Friends Wedding" .... had been getting niggles on and off and after about an hour or so my back started hurting so took a rest .... and fell alseep!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't get as much ironing done that day as aniticpated!!!! Slept for about 3 hrs in total!! Forced myself to get up because of picking TJ up from school. Went shopping that night in complete agony but it had to be done ... got home in floods of tears and lots of pain ........ Saturday morning Mum came with me to take TJ dancing then went to the shopping centre and needed to get some bits .... still in LOTS of pain but not enough to panic about too much!! That night went to my brothers for a "BBQ" (it was p*ssing down with rain that day!!!!!!!!) LOL and although I had a good night, laughing and joining in my family could see I was uncomfortable. Woke up Sunday morning about 7ish with contractions .... layed timing them .... 15mins apart ... decided not to take my injection as I knew this is it!! Woke Rich up at 8 and said "looks like we're going in today" ... got up about 9 but didn't call the hospital, I needed to make sure everything was ready for TJ (school uniform, swimming kit, lunches etc etc) as she was stopping with my mum & dad ......... Also, I HAD TO have my Sunday dinner ... didn't know when I was going to get another decent meal!!!!!!!!!! LOL Had dinner and at 2pm contraction were 5 mins apart ... yes this was it ... I rang the hospital and told them I was high risk and contractions were 5 mins apart ... she asked me why I wasn't down the hospital .... WHOOPS, I thought I was going to have problems when I got down there but the MW was lovely ... thank god!!!

Hey girls!! As you know, Olivia Grace arrived on 16th Sept and although a few tears have been shed, I can't stop smiling at my little miracle and her big sis. I arrived at the hozzie at 8:30am on the 15th and had the gel at 11am, she said it would probably not work as my cervix was still very posterior, but by 1pm I started getting regular contractions every 5 mins. Got checked over around 6pm and was gutted that I hadn't opened at all. Got moved to a side room so mam could stay the night and was contracting 4-5 times every 10 mins, had a massive show at 3am on the 16th but cervix still closed, arrrrgh! Contractions got mega-strong after that and was examined again about 9am to be told I was 3cm dilated and could go to the labour ward to have my waters broken and not have another gel (omg nasty stuff lol).
It all got hectic from there, got to labour room and baby had 'unengaged' herself (if that's a word lol) so I had to be prepped for surgery as there was a risk of a cord prolapse - again! - had a registrar breaking my waters as a dr pushed the baby back into the right place. She asked how old I was as I was in hysterics crying, I was so bloody scared for my baby. Anyway, it went well, contractions got unbearable at 4pm-ish after being put on the drip. After 3 and a half hours of gas and air the senior sister came in and told the mw to slow the drip down as I wasn't getting a break at all, she increased the dosage too quick so I was having pain after pain, screaming for some pethidine or an epidural but got told it was too late for either. Felt the need to push about 7pm but mw told me not to, the sister came in again and said sweetheart you do what you want to do, so at 7:30pm I started pushing (owwww!). Livvy was born at 7:59pm weighing 7lb4oz
Things got pretty rough again from then, I had a retained placenta and was in so much pain that I couldn't hold Livvy for long, lost quite a bit of blood and thought I was going to die, everyone was panicking. I guess I was really lucky, the sister managed to get the placenta out 1hr15mins later at the same second the doctor came to wheel me down to the theatre. Placenta got checked and it was dying already so thank god I was induced when I was. Had to have stitches again, but I'm not half as bad 'down there' as I was on Beth. Found out later that the mw had only delivered 4 babies. Was kept on the drip overnight to get my uterus back where it was.Livvy is doing really well and thriving on Mammy's Milk Machines (which are getting bigger by the day hehe). I am soooo proud of my little girls and could never ever imagine holding Livvy in my arms, but here I am on my lappy, and my baby laying next to me in her basket. Sometimes I look at her and I'm overwhelmed with disbelief and pride and can't stop thinking how incredibly lucky I am to have my little miracles. Well I'd better go and have some brekkie while I can, all this breastfeeding is making me constantly hungry
Theresa, I did it!! So you can and WILL do it too hun! Toni, hurry and post your story (when you get the chance pmsl).Much love to you all xxxxx
Rhi (and a very wobbly belly) xx
