MSE Pregnancy Club XI

I don't want to drag the thread down but I think I need to say it so that you all know..

We've had a talk with the consultant, and the long term prospects are not good (think wheelchair and feeding difficulties). They're not even sure if he will make it to long-term right now.. His kidneys are still not functioning as they should and his system is getting blocked up with acids. There are only so many medications they can give him to help with that before it gets too much for him.. We are pressed every day and by every different consultant (practically a new one every day) for a "resus decision" should it come up. No-one can yet give us a time scale on how long until that decision is needed if he doesn't improve any - that's the hardest thing (well, ya know, amongst all the rest of it!). We just have to cherish every minute - have had him out of his incubator this afternoon for a cuddle - and pray he can get through this, but there are a hell of a lot of odds stacked against him at the minute

And, no, before someone says it, I don't know what you can say in reply to all that either! Just promise me you are all enjoying your pregnancies xx

Can someone help me out? I read what Glam said earlier about Emmas Diary. I have signed up on line but reading on a bit futher it appears that it is something tangiable. Do I have to buy it somewhere or should I have got it from the midwife?

I'd like another huggies set as the vouchers are ace for Tesco

Oh sweetheart :grouphug:
Your right, there isnt anything that any of us can really say, all of us had already agreed that we needed to enjoy our pregnancies more, and we are all sending the 3 of you our best wishes every single day.
We are always here to listen, and you will not bring the thread down, we are only here to help each other, and we are faceless people that you can tell anything too without having to worry about crying at or swearing at or anything else you want to .

I'm expecting a welcome pack with some vouchers, but they're delayed - the email said:

Many thanks for registering with our website.

Unfortunately, due to high demand for our registration offer, we've not been able to fulfil all requests as quickly as we'd have liked. We're so sorry that you've had to wait so long but please bear with us. Your welcome offer including the £40 worth of Argos money-off vouchers should be with you in the next 4 weeks.

In the meantime, we hope that you continue to enjoy all the other benefits of being a member of www.emmasdiary.co.uk

Ultrasound from two weeks ago and last night. 5cm to 4cm. Hmm. 4cm is still apparently average but even so, that's a lot of volume to lose.

Just a thought, but I wonder how accurately they record the measurement? I mean if it was (for example) 4.7cm last week and was rounded up to 5cm, then was 4.4cm this week that would be a lot less of a change. I might be totally wrong, but just wonder if they are still happy that you are average whether they actually measure to the millimetre. Could you give them a call to find out a bit more if it's playing on your mind?

Your surgery should have them in - if you just go in and say 'Oh I never did get an Emmas Diary do u have any?' they might be able to give u one . Or try same trick with MW.
I plan to use my dad address for this one cos I also signed up online.

Let me know if u can't get any :rolleyes:

Elle - I promise to enjoy my pregnancy.
Thank you so much for keeping us up to date and I will think of you all and send as many positive thoughts to you as I can muster. You're not bringing the thread down at all - it's pregnancy related and we all need to know everyone's story.

Sending you lots of love, hugs and kisses and lots of suqiggly wiggly get strong vibes to your little man
