:hello: Tigs..

How did your chat with the consultant go today? All three of you doing okay?

I loved seeing my placenta guru (aka Dr Ed) today, he gives me confidence like nobody else in that hospital. He agreed that my c/section wound should have been better managed from the start, but reckons its healing now despite everyone else's lack of action. He prescribed me new antibiotics ..... and then phoned me at home 7pm to say that he'd reviewed the details of my infection, realised those antibiotics wouldn't work, and could I drop back in tomorrow for a different prescription!

He's seeing me next Weds for a follow-up, and also to carry out my 6wk post-natal checks (I hope he says I can drive!).

Apparently Andrew is only the second smallest baby they've saved through the Placenta Clinic monitoring, there's a baby girl who was delivered even earlier at 620g! She's doing fine too.

When I was having the regular u/sound scans, they kept focusing on baby's short Femur Length, thinking it was a soft marker for Downs Syndrome. He says that, through the clinic and now the subsequent births, he's finding that none of the babies with short FL have Downs and his research papers are going to emphasise that the short FL is more likely a sign of IUGR rather than specifically Downs.

Marley is just fine (falling asleep next to me post-dinner). Andrew was on nasal cannula & oxygen today, rather than oxygen in the incubator - apparently today's consultant prefers that setup. Didn't make any difference to his desats! We see the NeoNatal consultant tomorrow.

Quiet again and MrsTine didn't post just started a new thread Have we done something wrong?

There was a difference of opinion about closely spaced pregnancies. The end result was MrsTine leaving the thread.

Do people get sent there due to risk factors or because of things spotted from routine monitoring?

Glam, have you seen Weezl's packing list?

ETA: Here is it

Thanks very much! You are a fountain of all knowledge when it comes to previous posts - what's your secret?

Glam - yeah the pram would be fine for sleeping in - when we had the warm days I let Liam sleep in the garden in his Do you car seat fold down, when we went away last week, we put the pram in length ways along the seats/boot and put the seatbelt round

Yay Rhys!!! :T:j:T:j

BM - good luck with the job app!

Thanks - I could put seats down but OH might moan cos he's gotta sit in the back! he's gonna be cramped so might see which option gives him a bit of space!

Oh pap! Yeah It is Aberdeen but from looking on the website all those positions are FT, my mum told me there was some PT going!! Shiote.

I did think that when I looked at them and saw FT - I would still go to Open Day cos they might do job shares.

Oh no! Think that happened to Sami too.

I missed out on the shop and scan a while back as the registration page wouldn't load on my mac :rolleyes:.

It would seem they get referred from things spotted during the routine scans (or in my case, from something spotted during a scan for a different research project).

Hmm.. far too much mis-spent time on here probably!

Just remember the rabbit comments after weezl posted that list, hence that's what I searched for

Do you have your front passenger airbag switched off, Glam? (or does your car not have one?)

Buttonmoons

So go to the open day, find out if there is positions available I could do, run home, fill in application and throw it back the next day? Good plan I need to go in town the day it's on anyways to return my broken DS!
