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

DETEMINEDBLACKWOMAN - Tuesday, 5 Jun
Blighted Ovum A Blighted Ovum, or anembryonic pregnancy, is a pregnancy that stops developing very early on. The amniotic sac may only contain fluid and no fetal tissue when the miscarriage occurs. It usually occurs before most women even know that they are pregnant. You may experience a missed or late menstrual period, minor abdominal cramps, minor vaginal spotting or bleeding, and a possible positive pregnancy test. As with a normal period, your body may flush the uterine lining but your period may be a little heavier then usual. Why it looks like your pregnant Many women assume their pregnancies are on track because their hCG levels are increasing. The placenta can continue to grow and support itself without a baby for a short time and pregnancy hormones can continue to rise which would lead a woman to believe she is pregnant. A diagnosis is usually not made until an ultrasound tests shows either an empty womb or an empty birth sac. THAT IS WHAT THE DOCTORS DESCRIBE IT AS. I DESCRIBE IT AS A NIGHTMARE. I HAD 2 AND ITS VERY SELDOM A WOMAN EXPERIENCE TWO.

Rachel.. - Thursday, 31 May
Thanks that has put my mind at ease.. Maxalon is what I have been using for the past 9 weeks and am still using it as my morning sickness is almost gone but still triggering mis afternoon. I have had so many comments from peorple about taking a 'drug' while pregant so i was worried my doctor may have prescribed me someting that could have a long term effect on my bub.


MIA1 - Wednesday, 30 May

Hello Vikki Thanks for reading my profile, I have updated it a bit and added my story. I am 6 1/2 weeks pregnant according to my calculations but once I have a scan on 6 June, I am sure the dates will be confirmed (or changed). Congratulations on your new one to be, hopefully every thing will be smooth sailing for you :)

I think I will pass on the british army lol. But yeah it's gross. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one.. Oh gosh.. Apples. I ate one, and it ended up coming back for a visit.. and that was by far the worst 'sickness' I have ever experienced. I hope you haven't had such experiences since you eat them.. I hope your pregnancy is going well.. and Congradualtions.. Also thanks for the wonderful info :0)

JackieB - Wednesday, 23 May
Hello Vikki, My kids are in Taekwondo (ATA Black Belt Academy) I'm very proud of them. My oldest is an Instructor for the little tigers. Which are ages 4-5. He's obviously just learning but the parents love him. Thank you so much for your comment. I'll find out this weekend If I'm pregnant. Then again, In Feb 2007 when I actually got pregnant the test was negative. I actually got a BFP 13 days after AF due date. It was weird. NO spotting, nothing. and all test (5) came out negative. I'm very regular. So In part I'm kinda scared same thing will happen. I hope this time It can detect the pregnancy as soon as AF is missed. Good Luck and **cross your fingers for me and all the other mommy's out there TTC.............***hugzzzzzz


deanna - Wednesday, 23 May
Thank you Vikki! Yes, I do live in Va. I seem to forget a lot now too! I miss things that are right in front of me. It's horrible! :0) It will get better for the both of us though. Be Blessed!


sakura20061485 - Wednesday, 23 May

tabitha1974 - Wednesday, 23 May
Hi, Thank you so much for the comment that you left. I am sorry to hear that you had to go through so much. It is the Glory and the Honor to give 'THANKS' to God for sparing your life through it all. You have a beautiful family also. Six remarkable kids and I'm sure a great Husband. What else is their to ask for. Although you had to endure so many losses; You have been given so many precious gifts from God. You're carrying one. I know when my twin didn't survive it was very upsetting and all I could do is ask 'Why' or 'What did I do'. He was an acordiac, a fetus with no sign of a heart. That to me was amazing but still the thought of losing my little one was devastating. My Father always told me no matter what happens never question God. Everything happens for a reason. I will cut this short because I can be very long winded. I love to talk and love meeting new individuals with strong hearts and minds like yourself. Good luck with your pregnancy and keep in touch.


JackieB - Tuesday, 22 May
WOW, I guess I should stop complaining I had one M/C in February. I was devestated. It takes a very strong womam to go through what you have and still move forward. I hope to get a BFP this weekend. I have three children and can't wait fot the forth and last. **My prayers are with you and the baby... You'll soon have another beautiful child. Hugzzzzzzzz


Libra - Tuesday, 22 May
WOW READING YOUR STORY TOUCHED ME IN SO MANY WAYS .wE KINDDA HAVE THE SAME LOGICAL MIND SET SO TO SPEAK. YOU HAVE ENDURED A LOT AS A WOMAN BUT YOU ALSO HAVE GAINED 6 BEAUTIFUL GIFTS AT THE SAME TIME. I KNOW YOU WILL SUCEED IN THIS PREGNANCY (SMILE)PLUS 7 IS MY LUCKY NUMBER LOL. CONDRADULATIONS AGAIN TTUL K.I.T ONLY 28WEEKS OR SO TO GO YOU ARE HAVE WAY THERE


kdemattia - Tuesday, 22 May
