Hi Blog
Sorry it's been a while.
It's been a busy few months.
I was right as rain for Christmas and new year and with all the celebrations, the gifts, the food, the lights, the atmosphere and the love, I was given a wonderful surprise. I was given a positive pregnancy test.
Feel free to re-read that, I wont blame you. I had to do about 6 tests to believe it. But yes by some unknown miracle I made a baby with no problems at all.
I'm now 19 weeks and in ten days time find out if we're having a son or daughter.
It's not been an easy pregnancy. I've had spotting on and off since 5 weeks - resulting in numerous scans. Every time baby has been absolutely fine and we can't find anything to cause the bleeding so we shall put it down to the obvious shall we. I've been incredibly sick! At 17 weeks I thought my waters were leaking the consultant confirmed they weren't but couldn't determine what the liquid was.
I had my sixteen week appointment with the consultant which is where they decide if your care will be midwife led or consultant led. Consultants means more appointments with a consultant whereas midwife you don't really see him again.
I thought I was going to be consultant due to my endometriosis and all the bleeding. I am actually on shared care. It means most of it is done by the midwife but the consultant will stick his head in where he deems appropriate. He says this is because of my history and also the concern of the fact my baby is measuring big. Hooray, I'm growing a baby elephant!
I'll keep you updated with how i'm getting on but for now, all I can say is never give up. There has been times where I never believed this would happen. I look back at the treatment choices I made and I know they were worth it.
xoxo
