PhotobucketWell, were to start! Photobucket

I have 6 children. Katherine 19, Heather 16, Michael 8, David 7, Declan 5, Jasmine 3. I have also lost 12 babies. One of them was Declan's twin. So I guess you could say, I've seen alittle bit. But we're still here and we have a happy family

Photobucket

PhotobucketMy hubby is a Barrister ( In America they are called Attorneys but here only Barristers do court work, Solicitors do the preliminary "stuff"). He is the best Father that anyone could ask for. He takes such good care of all of us and gives so much to the children. He's always playing with them, reading them stories ( with all the voices) and talking to them all the time, telling them all sorts of things. I truely think that the children are his best freinds!

He also takes such good care of me. I feel truely spoiled! He's very domesticated! Every night before I fall asleep he whispers "I'm so glad I found you" I have heard that every night of our marriage. I'm soooooo lucky, God has been good to me.

I've done a sqillian different things, like running an Acting school, an online buisness, Modeling, I've been in hospitality, stockbroking and realestate but I'm now happily just homeschooling my little people( still with my online buisness). Much fun I have to say! :-)

I'd love to hear from anyone that cares to "chat" so do stop by my page.

PhotobucketThe Story so far

( strap on your seat belts, it's a long ride! :-))

I have had 12 miscarriages and 6 healthy children. The first miscarriage was 18 yeas ago and I still remember that vividly. Kyle was 17 1/2 wks. I never found out what happened to him. I lost ALOT of blood, my vains collapsed and they had to revive me. I'm lucky to be here. The only reason I survived, I'm sure, is that my daughter was in the hall at the time of when I "died" and she suddenly burst out screaming "Mummy don't go!" At that I sat bolt upright! Took the nurses and the Doctors quite by surprise!Photobucket Well anyway, then I had 3 healthy children. Then came Mary, who I lost at 16 1/2wks. She was lost to Toxoplasimia. There was nothing that could be done to save her.Photobucket I lost 2 more after her. Then I fell pregnant with twins! One of them didn't make it. Lost Jo at 13wks. PhotobucketWe were very afraid for little Declan and I had to have alot of rest. During that pregnancy, we had the devistating fires in Jan 2003. We had to evacuate our home and we didn't know for a couple of day's whether our house was still standing. Here I am, supposed to be taking it easy and I was driving out of town to our in-laws and had gone into very early labour. I used my WHOLE ventelin and that calmed the contractions down! So Declan was able to keep from being born untill ONLY 3weeks early!Photobucket QUITE the accomplishment! We then lost 2 more little ones. Never having a reason for them.Photobucket The first ultrasounds would show healthy babies but then things would go wrong and I'd loose them. Then we had little Jasmine, Photobucketperfect and healthy, well mostly, she had silent reflux but that was treatable, so she's good now.:-) In 2006 I had an ectopic pregnancy. This little one got OUT of the tube and had lodged in my abdominal cavity. While I did have pain, I didn't pay much mind to it, as it was high up and I just thought I had eaten some bad chicken! ( along with I have an EXTREEMLY high pain threshold)I didn't even know I was pregnant! The week I found out, I had just finished a film shoot. That was the hardest shoot ever, I had to play a very calm nurse and all the time I was thinking I was dying from food poisoning! Anyway, I went to the Doc' because my stomac suddenly swelled and I was somewhat alarmed. I had taken a Preg' test the night before and was pretty excited but confused as too the swelling, I knew I had been busy but was I that pregnant and hadn't noticed? Well no, I wasn't that far along. Turned out that I had been internally bleeding for probably two weeks and the swelling was from the amount of blood! They had me in surgery within 2 hours of the ultrasound! The Doc' was so amased at how much blood I lost, he took photos! My GP couldn't understand how I hadn't suffered a heart attack from blood loss. But I guess I have more to do on this world of ours. I became pregnant again and all seemed to be ok untill 13wks.Photobucket I lost the baby at home and then hemeraged and collapsed at home. My daughter had to ring for the ambulance ( my Hubby had gone to the shop and didn't know what happened untill he walked in to find Heather with the phone!) The Ambulance guys were great, they stabalised me enought to get me to hospital but once getting there the placenta started to tear the uterine wall and I started to hemerage angain. They had me in emergancy surgury so fast, I barely remember much of what happened. PhotobucketSince then I have lost another 3.Photobucket The thing is, I'm healthy, everything seems to work properly, so there wasn't any obvious things that these loses could be attributed with. It has only been the last loss that we have FINALLY found out what is Wrong. Along with having a low progesterone, I have Thrombophilia. You can have this to varying degrees from 40-80 which is nothing to worry about to Mmmm interesting. I came back with a level of 160, showing that this is why I have been loosing my babies. This is a clotting disorder. Clots attack the placenta and blood flow can not get through, so the baby has nothing to survive on. THERE IS A REMEDY!!!!!!!!!Photobucket All I need is 20mg of CLEXANE per day ( in needle form, ahhhhhh) for the duration of a pregnancy untill 37wks. And for the progesterone, I have pessories for at least the first trimester. SO I have a script for Clexane ready and a bottle of Natural Progesterone in the fridge waiting for the IF/WHEN we fall again. My Doc' thinks its a WHEN as we have never had a problem with our fertility. I am very greatfull that my Ob' was human enough to say " I DON'T KNOW WHY this is happening to you, BUT there is a new Doctor in town that has experience with reacuring misscarriage so maybe she can help!" Well help she HAS.Photobucket I first saw her on March the 6th and here we are a month and a half later, with ANSWERS.Photobucket I thank God every day.

So that's it I guess.Photobucket

We'll see what God has for us. Hopefully more little people :-)Photobucket

Have a great day and keep well. I wish you all the best from Down Under!Photobucket

I'm so sorry to hear of your loses. My doc put me on progesterone suppositories (all natural) a few nights ago. It seems to have helped with my spotting. Since my levels were falling, she's sure the suppositories will help and I PRAY they do. I insert them once a night before bedtime. I took another progesterone test this morning to make sure it's working and my levels are where they should be. If so (and I BELIEVE they are), I'm sure all will go well. Ask your doc about natural progesterone suppositories, 200mg.

Hello Vikki!

Thank you for your kind words :)
My best friend is also in the same online business as you :) She and her husband got us a case of the drink you are selling for the Christmas and that's when we heard about it for the first time. It is really good.

My husband is computer engineer and he is thinking about making another online computer related business. Thank you for the offer to help though :)

I abandoned the pill. I took it for 3 weeks and didn't continue. My husband and I are too tired at the end of the day to TTC anyways, hehe. So if it happens that I get pregnant again soon or not too soon we will be very happy! But we are not really trying hard or anything if you know what I mean.



bigmuma - Wednesday, 30 April
No you dont seem ungratefull i didnt mean for that i meant that some people cant have kids full stop so if you have 6 then at least you have some...I dont know if i am explaining what i mean. I just think thats a good thing you have your kids so you can love them and care for them. You look like a lovelly lady. xx

hey.
We are a family who loves to have a great time.. i love making days and memories specail for my little one.
I have a one year old son named dominick, and i was recently pregnant with what would have been my 2nd, however my baby passed away at 9 w 5 days, i was only pregnant for a short while but was already very attached and loved that baby in my belly. Im now pregnant again 8 weeks after my mc and am 4 weeks pregnant.. Im very nervous and scared and i pray and peak to God everyday.. asking that he watch over my little one and help him or her grow strong so i can bring this baby in the world and take care of it, love it, give it a family, and show it the world. I pray that this baby is fine.. It was so hard on me the first time..

I see you have had 12 losses. Im truly sorry and i dont know how you found the courage to deal with it. We need to be blessed with the gift God gave to us and know everything happens for a reason.

luv
kash

lv2bamommy - Tuesday, 29 April
Oh Vikki! I really hope this is your time!!! I will keep my fingers crossed and say a prayer for you!! Try to stay posiyive, I know it's easier said than done. Can you go to the Dr and get a blood test? Keep me posted my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


bigmuma - Tuesday, 29 April
Dont cry, you have 6 kids already that you have been blessed with and any more would be an even bigger blessing. You should stay positive as a negative attitude wont help anything will it now?? You are a beautiful woman who looks healthy and happy so keep that up and im sure you will be blessed once again. Like i said though i know your wanting more babies but we shoul feel lucky for the babies we have now. Now is important too. Mel xx


bigmuma - Tuesday, 29 April
Hi, im happy to hear that you are healthy and going well after hard times. I read that you are wanting to find out as early as posible for pregnancy. Can they not do a blood test? The pink could be a sign of implantaion or it could also be late ovulation. I dont know whether you do the ovulations tests though. Good luck on number 7 xx


carnation - Tuesday, 29 April
I hope that is a good sign that you will be getting a BFP soon. GL~

Have a fantastic weekend my friend!! Your updated profile looks great. ~Baby Dust~ Baby Dust~ Baby Dust~

It is 'nice' to know someone who knows how you feel... During the time we tried for this baby there were 7 baby announcements in church and I probably knew just as many outside of church. It was really tough.

Sorry to hear that a few of the ladies at your church has had problems. Some of ours did too. One was previa, one was extremely sick and hospitalized several times, one kept bleeding for a long time after birth, and one had a baby with a heart defect. Fortunately they were able to detect it during an ultrasound and save the baby. Had it been born at our local hospital the baby would have died within a few minutes, but instead it was born in Melbourne with the proper equipment available. He had a heart surgery within the first week. He is now a healthy little boy, praise God!

Anyway, time to have dinner and get ready for church. We have church on a Friday night. A bit different concept but works for the 'beach community'. Go to church Friday night and to the beach on Sunday.

Thanks and take care,
Karin

I understand your thinking about leaving it up to God, whether or not you fall pregnant again. I think that is the right thinking... Maybe I will get there when I have at least one more baby :)

I also agree that we need to take responsibility for our own body. That is why I did a lot of research while I was bleeding. I researched all the issues that doctors had said it could be, and any other issues I possibly came across. I didn't help me in the end, but I do feel a lot more educated. So your attitude completely makes sense to me.

There are certain things that doctors just don't get... Like you letting whatever happens happen as far as falling pregnant again, in spite any age. For us it has been chromosome testing. During the bleeding we saw one doctor who kept pressing the issue of testing in spite of us saying no. We also saw her after we lost Kathleen and she was still pressing the issue, but this time I just ignored her... I am pretty sure Kathleen got tested for chromosome issues, but the results won't make any difference for us in the future. Even if it was positive, we would still keep trying and we would never test and never terminate. That is just us.

My day hasn't otherwise been the best. We attend a smaller church of 100 and one of the girls gave birth last night. I was supposed to be next. I am of course really happy for them, but at the same time really sad and jealous. Jealous of them having a baby, jealous of their happiness. I would like to feel happy again. I am sure one day it will come, but sometimes I wonder when...

God bless and thanks for staying in touch!
Karin

Hi Vikki,

Thanks for the explanation. I know they have tested me for some sort of clotting, but I don't know if there are different ones. My appointment is in 2 weeks. It is very hard not knowing if they already have answers or not. If I knew that they didn't I would want to now write a long list of questions, and ask about possible causes and possible tests that can be done. But if they do already have the answers, then I will have done all the research and have stressed about it for no reason... I am trying to find a middle way.

So, are you going to try again soon, or are you already trying?

God bless,
Karin


lv2bamommy - Thursday, 24 April
That sounds like fun!! I use to play the piano when I was younger, I wish I still remembered how. The only thing I remember is middle C. That won't get me very far. I think I am crampy because of ovulating, but who knows. My AF's aren't extremly regular so I guess time will tell. The weather is finally getting better here, It was a long winter. I'm so ready for sunshine and warm weather. I know that will help improve my mood so much. I almost started tannig again, I still might. My mood is very effected by the weather. I hope we do get PG together, that would be awsome:-) Talk to ya soon ~Baby Dust~


mommyrock - Thursday, 24 April
Exactly. My ob said that with the growth of the uterus, the placenta should grow up to where it should be. I am going to do what I am supposed to do and let G-d take care of the rest. He has been protecting this baby. I'll let you know when they check the placenta. What is going on with all of your tests and when will you find out?
