Still got lots to do but still not feeling hundred percent at mo so i am being very careful and prioritising my energy reserves. I still need to make it to mw and back so better think about getting dressed soon.

Pigpen - I totally hear you about not wanting to waste your time with the mw's. I am only going myself because I want a home birth and i need some rapport with them to get them to agree. I have already had a few issues with placenta being low etc but I have not been doing the routine GP appts in the middle as all they do is make me wait an hour and tell me stuff i already know. Lucky i am not high risk except pph but I have promised to let them 'manage' me if necessary. I just so don't want to go hospital that its the lesser of two evils. I wasn't keen on the scans either myself cos i am a bit of an ostrich. if there is a prob, i would rather not spend the whole preg worrying about it but in your situation, i may feel different. dh talked me into going in the end and i bought the 4d scan to give me peace of mind over the placenta issue as I will still not be scanned for another week (was supposed to be at 36 but mw managed to change to 35 for me due to home birth issue.) I alrady know its all okay so not fretting but it was a real issue from 19w when i had scan til 31 when i had 3d scan. felt like a lifetime!

I have managed to sort the rest of the weeks work thank goodness so hoping that i wil get the rest of the week off from the 'office' work.

Need to see if i can get some halls soothers or similar as my throat is killing me.

uropa.. yes we still get the scans done.. that was the sole reason I went to the booking appointment as they arrange that then and my sister had a problem which caused her death which can be picked up at scans so I insist on those.. I refuse to have one every 2-4 weeks like they want though due to previous prem babies.

Oh God! I am so sorry to hear about your sister! Do you mind me asking what happened to her? When we lost DS1 i could have died too, but a crash c-section saved me from bleeding out. Couldn't save him in the end, but he did battle it out for 36 hours afterwards.

The condition i had (Vasa Praevia) can also be detected on scans but our useless pile of sh1te NHS doesn't routinely scan for it and refuses to put money into research and training for it even though the risks o it can be as high as 1 in 300 and around 350 otherwise perfectly healthy babies die each year due to it. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I had a low laying placenta at 20 weeks and they assured me that as long as it moved up everything would be fine. They scanned me at 35 weeks and it had moved so i was told everything would be fine. What they didn't look for was what the fetal blood vessels were doing. Unfortunately for my baby boy, although the placenta had moved up and out of the way, his blood vessels had not. They remained around the cervix and running through my membranes. So when i went into labour and had a massive bleed they told me it was a normal "bloody show" and paid little attention to me telling them it wasn't a normal amount of blood. Then i bled again while in hospital and all hell let loose. They couldn't find his heartbeart at first then when they did it was only in the 60's. Then the effing dimwits broke my waters and in doing so broke his umbilical cord that was running through my membranes. I will never forget the look on that doctors face when he realised what he'd done! So they rushed me for a crash c-section and that was that.

So, yeah. Completely lack of a clue and appropriate training across the board from the scanners to the midwives to the doctors collectively caused the death of my baby.

I am a bit wary of telling people this, especially when they are pregnant, but then i think about if someone had given me the gift of this information when I was pregnant with DS1. Perhaps i would have ignored it and believed my doctors when they tried to fob me off about it (like they did in my second pregnancy). Or perhaps he might be with us today. Who knows. I can never pass up the opportunity to pass along potentially life-altering, life-saving information though.

See vasapraevia.co.uk (UK site) and vasaprevia.com (US site) for detailed info. Note the different spellings of praevia and previa due to UK/US English.

Risk factors are: IVF pregnancies, multiple pregnancies, bleeding at any stage of pregnancy, prior uterine surgery (D&C, C-sec etc), low laying placenta (even if it's "moved"), velamentous or marginal insertion of the umbilial cord.



And on that note.... I will go and sort out the kitchen...

OH taken Squeak to tesco.... think he is after his money back She has been a pest today.

Washing brought in from line
both WM's refilled

*sigh* my life is such fun.

Looks like I can't have the new ISP as well

My sis had a severe gastric schisis.. basically everything from her stomach to her anus had developed on the outside of her body Scans were not invented in ye olden days so it wasn't until she was born anyone knew anything and the nature of it meant more damage was done during delivery

Vacuumed sitting room, hallway & sofa this morning as it was too late last night to do it, glad I waited as it was marginally cooler this morning! Managed to get all my before bed routine done last night as well as my morning routine today, so house starting to look better...

DS2 stripped his bed & finally agreed to take the duvet off. So I washed that this morning & left it on the clothes house as we have storms forecast - sun still blazing at the moment!
