If any of you have been reading my diary then u will already know that we are now finally pregnant with our second. Its taken what feels like an eternity but we got there in the end. At the moment i'm really excited but can't believe it at the same time. Got a doctors appointment on tuesday so will know more then. I was just wondering are u appointed the same midwife u had the first time and if u are is ther any way u can change?? There were some major failing on her part last time that contributed to my PTSD. I'm just trying to keep calm about it and hope the same doesn't happen again but i've not really been worrying yet. I think the panic and worry won't be long though

you should have a word when you see your gp hun, also written documentation should strengthen your case against having the same MW. you should be able to change and if you cant then im sure there should be some sort of appeal procedure to help you x

Hi Sazzythom,
I'm so glad that you are pregnant. CONGRATULATIONS! It must be so frustrating when you want it so much and it just doesn't happen.
Thankyou for writing in my diary. It will be nice to swap stories with someone going through things at roughly the same time as me! I don't have regular periods and by my dates (last period) I am due beginning of August making me about 9 weeks but by my calculations I am 7 weeks so reckon I am due about 23rd August. My dates always get changed when I have my first ultrasound so I guess I can't be sure until then.
It wasn't a shock when I found out I was pregnant because I wanted it so much but a few days after I did think 'what the hell have I done' that kind of mini panic thing but I have kind of got over that now although I do have my little moments. How far gone are you? I have my booking appointment next Thursday and I so hope I can make it there. I'm snowed in at the moment and would be gutted if I had to miss it. How about you? Have you seen your midwife yet?
Speak to you soon x

Hi Sarah,
So so happy for you! I've been wondering how you are and been meaning to message you on facebook because I saw on there that you've been in hospital for a few days and I wondered what for. Hope you're ok.
It should definitely be possible to ask to not have the same midwife - in fact unless you live in a rather small area I'd imagine the chances of having the same one would be quite slim. I was the opposite and asked for the same because I wanted someone who knew what happened last time and my GP arranged it, so your GP should be able to arrange for you NOT to have her.
So how far gone are you and when is baby due?
Lara, I so had exactly the same thought as you about a week after my +ive test - "What have we done?!" and to be honest I still have a shadow of that thought sometimes, like shouldn't I have just been happy with one rather than put me and my husband through the trauma of PP again (although it hopefully won't happen). But then I think how I want my son to have a brother or sister and all seems ok again, until the next moment of panic that is, which was very often at all in the last few months but then resurfaced the other night with tears and everything!
Sarah, congratulations again and really hope that this pregnancy is smooth and all goes well after the birth. In fact those are my hopes and prayers for all us pregnant pni survivors.

Just seen your diary Sarah and now know that things have been far from smooth for you so far with bleeding, pain and hospital stays. So sorry for how hard you've had it. Life can seem so unfair at times when you feel you've already had enough hardship to deal with, but we get through it in the end with help for those around us who care.
Really hope you had good news at your latest scan on 14th and that things get easier from now on. Thinking of you.

Hello how are you?
Thanks for writing in my diary. I had my dating scan on Friday and I am due 21/08 so we are pretty close date wise! It's kind of what I expected though.
I only really had PNI with my second baby. I do have a history of anxiety and depression so I guess it was inevitable that I get it somewhere along the line! I just felt a bit more anxious with the first one and found it hard to relax. Life was pretty easy though because she was a very placid baby and pretty much fitted in around what I wanted to do. Unfortunately though when number two came a long he was a different kettle of fish. He wanted feeding every 2 to 3 hours and just seemed to crave more attention than the first. Mine were also very close together (18 months apart) so I really had my work cut out. I tried to carry on with life as normal and didn't really give myself a break. I just ran myself into the ground and did far too much and felt far too inadequate and guilty about not being able to achieve everything I had done before. It also coincided with the re-start of my periods so I think it was a culmination of of both things. I just know that this time I will have no expectations and what gets done gets done. I won't feel guilty about it!
What about yourself. How did you suffer last time?
I have told loads of people because I can't keep my mouth shut!! I have been meaning to catch up with loads of people for a while but because I have felt so sick I've had to keep putting them off. I've had to tell them all really for fear they would take offence at me never seeing them. I have also told close friends and family...I'm not ready to start posting stuff on facebook though!!
How are things going for you at the moment. Sorry you've had a few scares. I had a few bleeds in my first pregnancy but they ended up being nothing to worry about.
Speak to you soon x
