Saturday’s Weigh In…. 2.4 kg loss
After the week I had, I didn’t want to face the scale. But I am glad I did. I got a very super surprise when I saw I had lost 2.4kg’s!!!.  I must confuse I was about 80% good last week and didn’t expect such a great lost, especially since I was pumped full of Meds after the D& c and having the flu.
Every gram down for me is a victory and a step closer for me to being healthier for me to have my baby number 2.
I am feeling better. And I hope this week is a good week too. I can feel in my clothes are feeling loose and I am drinking all my water. I am waking up in the morning feeling a lot more refreshed and fill of energy.
I haven’t started exercising yet, but I plan to start this weekend.
Remember
“Fail to plan, plan to fail.”

A lost….

I know I am a very bad blogger. My aim in for once a week, to Blog if I can do more I will.
These past few weeks have been really hard for me. I had a miscarriage, I found out on Friday the 7th October that the embry0 didn’t survive and died at 7 weeks and 6 days. Not sure why, and the test that were done had no answer either.
It has been an emotional week and a half. I have my good days and bad.
you see:
We found out when I was first pregnant with my daughter we found out that I am O negative, and my hubby is O positive, so once I had my daughter I had to have an anti-D injection, as my daughters  blood was tested and hers was positive, so I was given the injection to stop my blood making anti-bodies against O positive blood. Here is a website link which explains it better. http://pregnancy.about.com/od/rhfactor/a/Rh-Factor-in-Pregnancy.htm
So when we went at 7 wks. And 2 days everything was fine and I had the odd brown discharged which I have had before, but last week Thursday I was feeling achy, had abit of a fever and had lower back pain. And wasn’t happy something felt a miss. And that is why I went into see him. And there was no heart beat and it only measured 7 wks. 6 days, so It died before 8 wks. He also checked for blood flow and there was no blood flow going to the embryo either. So he booked me in for that Friday evening, 5pm I was in theatre and had the D&c.  And was released about 2 or so hours later to go home. Once I had gone to the loo and had eaten. I was in a lot of pain on the weekend, my body was very sore and everywhere . It felt like I was in a wrestling match and came off 2nd best.

I had my check up and the Dr seemed quite positive that we will be able to have another baby.  And is happy with everything too.
I am quite scared to try again, in case it happens again. But in the meantime while I let my body heal, I am making sure I take care of myself over the next few months to get all fit and healthy for when we try again.
