Hi guys Sorry I've not been around much at all lately..it's become impossible to juggle school with everything else lately. Anyway, I received some terrible news from Wolf today which she has asked me to pass on to PM. She is going to lose her child Apparently there are heart, spine and bladder problems with the bub, and it will be induced sometime this week... It's really crap, coz she was so excited to be a mum, and I think we were all pretty excited for her...I know I was. I'm so sad for her, I was really looking forward to watching the bub grow up and all... Life sucks sometimes But I just thought I'd pass on the message, she's really scared and not knowing what to do.. Anyway, I'll be in touch with her, and if there are any messages from anyone that you can't get to her, I'd be happy to pass them on. Erin

I was so shocked when i read this.
Emily I am so sorry. I know how excited you were about being a mum. I dont really know what to say and i know these words are not going to heal your pain. Niamh and I were so shocked to hear this today and words cannot express how sorry we are for you. Just remember that you are in our thoughts and hearts Emily. I wish there was something I could do to help.

My mom lost two before she had my brother and me, life can be ugly and cruel sometimes. Our Emily and her baby are definitely in my thoughts and prayers as well. Give her a hug for us Erin.

I`m terribly sorry to hear that...from what I understood she was really happy about it, expecting a little baby and all....can`t believe it really...
There`s not much to say in these situations, we could just try to be as much supportive as we can... I wish there was something more we could do for her...at least tell her we`ll be thinking of her...
love, ivanna

Okay...more news from Em. The ultrasound was wrong!!!!! Everything is normal, except for the amount of fluid inside, which hopefully the Doc can fix..So there's a better chance now that all will be OK! Ahhh. She's still trying not to get her hopes up too much. But I'm sure everything will be fine, hopefully.. And she says 'thankyou' for the messages... Just thought I'd update you all Erin

Wolf if you read this, doctors don't know everything, nor are tests 100% all the time. If you can carry the baby all the way do it. My thoughts are with you.>^..^<

i almost cried reading what everyone has been saying.. thank you guys so much!
i'll explain everything. i went to an ultrasound appointment on the 14th of sept.. they are supposedly the best in the area. they told me that the baby has been drinking in all the amniotic fluid but not peeing it out.. and because of that they were having trouble seeing anything on the ultrasound. they said theyd found numerous problems but didnt tell me much about them and then sent me off to see my doc. so the doc said that was a possibility of neural tube defect/spina bifida, an enlarged heart, a smaller than normal body plus the fluid building up. so the doc then sent me to see an obstetrician.. the obstetrician said that the ultrasound did not look good and he made an appointment for me at the hospital he said that if the ultrasound was right i'd most likely need to be induced and that the baby would not survive. so off i went to the hospital and after waiting like 5 hours they did another ultrasound and said that the spine is looking fine same as the heart.. the professor then explained that he thinks the baby has acites which is a blockage in the urethra and that there is still a chance the baby wont survive.. because the amniotic fluid had leaked through the bladder it was pushing up against the heart which was causing it stress. the professor also said that it depends how long this has been happening as to if the bub will survive.. if its been happening for a while then the fluid may have stunted the growth of the lungs.. there is nothing they can do if that has happened. at the moment they are deciding if they can put a tube into the babys stomache to drain the fluid out and back into the womb.. so im guessing im their guinea pig or something.. i have another appointment this wednesday with the professor. will keep you updated whenever i can.. still dunno what gender it is cos of the lack of fluid.. oh, but, the doc says that if he is right and it IS acites it mainly only ever occurs in boys... still trying not to get my hopes up.. and the babies name is still going to be charlie whether it is boy or girl.
miss you guys heaps.. anyways, better go love always wolf xxooxx

ok, went to hospital again today.. good news is the baby doesnt have down syndrome which can cause acites. bad news is we've gone back to square one.. doesnt look like charlie will survive. im going to carry the bub full term if it survives that long, if not, then they will induce me. i have another appointment in a week and another the week after at the hospital to check how it is. i'm booked in to have the baby there too. may be staying with my mum when she gets a place of her own just til the bub is born then i will return to gosford cos the hospital is like an hour away from me. i'd like to be close to mum too cos i wont know if my waters break cos theres no fluid..
i'm so scared.. i dont know how i will cope.. i hate the thought that i'm more than likely going to push out a dead or dying baby.. what if it cries? what will i do? i just dont know.
i'd better go before i start bawling.. thanks for your prayers and support guys.. i really appreciate it.. love always wolf xxooxx
