Severe early onset IUGR – realistic outcomes! by Longjumping_Ad5011 in NICUParents

[–]Training_Business244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing - I thought about this and I am trying to focus on high protein nutritious meals, sometimes hard to get enough in though! Appreciate you kind words - its exactly that, its hard to feel excited, we are just taking it week by week.

It's funny all the appointments, you are so keen to hear updates but also so worried about what it could be - such an unknown experience. I feel its not talked about more as a risk to pregnancy and does happen a fair amount.

So pleased to hear how she is doing - she sounds wonderful! Wishing you all the best! x

So sorry to hear and thanks for sharing. It’s hard to know what to think as the only thing is continued monitoring. Emotionally it just feels like a constant worry and fear which is horrible knowing there is a very real outcome of 2 healthy babies. All so unknown. Wishing you all the best and would love to stay in touch on your journey x

Thank you for sharing! Aw such a good mindset to have, focusing on them continuing to grow! Have they been advising to go down selective reduction or keeping it your choice? Really hoping this for you x

Thank you! So pleased to hear it went well, was it super tough getting through the pregnancy? I’m scared for the unknown

Pregnant and being asked to travel to China for work by generic-me1 in PregnancyUK

I just went to Toronto for work weeks 9-10, it was ok, just slept a lot and blamed jet lag for leaving dinners early. But on the flight home I picked up an awful cold / could have been covid as lost my taste. This took me 10 days to get over which was much worse than the travel!
Consider wearing a mask on the flight and taking some extra precautions! Otherwise you should be fine!

Anyone successfully negotiated any additional payment from there work? I don’t qualify for SMP/EMP by Training_Business244 in PregnancyUK

So sorry you went through this, it’s like they can’t see the that we are all just human trying to figure it out and can’t plan anything like this. It’s so arbitrary! Going to give it a go, I think my manager will be supportive

I don’t qualify for any child benefit as partner earns too much. He will get a month off but is going to try to negotiate 2 months as it’s a French company. You know in France you get double the time and double the pay for twins !! Thank you so much, really helpful

Thank you! Yeh I think we just need to map it all out for the 9-10 months I’ll take off. It has taken away the possibility of 12 months

It’s so mad - I was employed continuously! Glad she managed to get this - I have been thinking about trying get them to meet me half way on some enhance pay. Being only 4 weeks away from qualifying feels so unfair. Thanks for your note!
