Hi 👋🏻 I’m Vicky. I’ve come over here from fertility network uk. I’m from Herefordshire in the midlands, England. I’m 40 in April. My LG is nearly 7 months old. We are at the baby led weaning stage. It’s going well. My Hubby is disabled (a T4 paraplegic). He will be 44 in March. He was our primary reason for infertility. We were trying for a baby for 4 years. We did ivf for 2 years. Our journey was tough going with 2 fresh rounds, 4 frozen rounds, using 8 embryos (1 perished at thaw). We had 2 missed miscarriages. I’d had a miscarriage at 28 too so I got testing on the nhs which revealed I have lupus anticoagulant (aps). Throughout my full term pregnancy I was closely monitored. I took blood thinning injections and aspirin. I had pelvic girdle pain and extremely swollen feet and ankles (on crutches from 17 weeks). I had an emergency c section at 38+6.. On the Tuesday of that week (6/8) I was in hospital on a drip all day after a failed sweep due to Mary’s heart rate rocketing which took all day to stabilise. The same thing happened the day she was born, again after a failed sweep. This time they couldn’t lower her rate rate. I was having regular contractions/tightenings every 10 minutes before I was rushed to theatre sometime after 9pm. Mary-Elizabeth Evalyn was born 7lb 6oz on Thursday 8/8/19 at 9:54pm. Thankfully she was fine once she was out! No one ever seemed sure what caused her heart rate to get so consistently high.. She will be 7 months old 8/3/20 and she’s now 18lbs. We have 2 embryos left in storage.
The fertility network site was invaluable to me in times of need. I’m looking for a new “safe space” to share the ups and downs of a much wanted, much loved, journey of Motherhood xx
