6 months pregnant and newly diagnosed

HI Marina

Thanks for your kind words. Yes I agree having breastfeeding taken away from me, my choice of obs, hospitals for bub etc has upset me the most I think. Especially as this is my third and I thought I knew what I was doing but it's all changed.

I'm being induced 5 weeks early so can fit in with my chemo cycles (currently on 3 weekly AC). They didn't want to delay the chemo...

Not having mum is so hard and the side effects of chemo are similar so it is also hard to see but  I feel removed like it is happening but not quite to me. Tiredness is my biggest issue, with two other little boys plus it seems 4-5 medical appts per week for me and/or bub let alone final stage preg and chemo. Plus my eldest just started school, and I feel so bad for him I can't get involved more.

On the upside I have wonderful friends and family helping me and I am pregnant with my third child (and he is trhiving - not bothered at all) - so many people on here have the fertility choice taken away from them. I can't imagine having to decide those sort of choices.

I do have my moments but I try and look for the "good" (or at least remind myself it could be worse).
