Watmough & Elle

[Kiwi Eagle]

Watamouth; not much going good for him these days.

What a sad individual you are

 

[winnyason]

There is certainly a point to stop. I would put my hand up and say I had a ongoing battle with choc for a few months on twitter. But don't wish to anyone.
Piss poor to even joke about it.

 

[eagleron]

Despite our feelings for the aforesaid ex player, this is indeed a sad story.

I wish them all the best.

Agreed family is everything, I wouldn't wish this situation on anyone. No young couple deserves to ensure such heartache, my best wishes to them both.

Good news. All is fine with Choc's baby.

• awatmoughWe are over the moon to let you all know that after 5 weeks of testing we just received the news that our baby girl has beaten the odds and is healthy and does not have Trisomy 18. We have a rare condition called "Confined Placental Mosaicism" where the T18 cells are confined to the placenta but are not present in the baby. We will just need regular ultrasounds to make sure she is growing properly, but we are so thrilled to be out of the woods. The last 5 weeks have been overwhelming, scary and frustrating but we could not have done it without everyone's love and support. We honestly appreciate it more than you could know. We can't wait for you to meet our bub in March 2016.

WTF - Medical incompetence, this poor woman has been stressed for no reason

Hope this IVF results in a happy addition to the Watmough Clan

I wouldn't say it was medical incompetence, these things happen sometimes

I'm very pleased to hear that @bones .
Some things in life certainly put petty RL squabbles into perspective.

Well for a patient who has lost a couple of babies during IVF, I would have thought that unless they knew something, they should not say anything to Elle, as it did nothing but cause undue stress on the mother.

JT last night broke down with the emotion of the 4th Dally M win, and apparently it was his recollection of the stress his partner had in conceiving and delivering their 2 IVF babies.

That is not the way of the modern medical system....they tell you everything and it almost always the worst case scenario

With my daughter we were told of everything that "might" be wrong and several things which were straight out wrong

same here,thats awesome news for them.Good luck to them both

 

[ALinda]

After all they've been through, they deserve a bit of luck to go their way. Very happy for them!
And yes @MadMarcus its times like this that do put things into perspective.

 

[Beaver boy]

Puts things into perspective. I've been his most ardent critic for the way he's carried on. Not one fibre in my body wishes for any harm to him or his family.

Too much information to cover potential liability claims I guess.

Exactly what we thought. The amount of stress it causes to (most likely) save on law suits is over the top

 

[sheridanstand78]

I like most of you are relieved to hear the news that the unborn baby does not have the disease that was feared. That is fantastic news and hopefully now Choc and his partner can now really look forward to having a healthy baby and enjoy being parents. Good luck to them.

No it's called keeping a patient informed. It's not about liability. People without medical knowledge using doctor Google makes it extremely hard for medical professionals. It's like people who have never taught a class bashing teachers.

Interesting episode of 4 Corners this week on this very subject. My experiences with the medical profession in this country, which thankfully has been a very limited one, is that they are all about CYA (cover your ass).

Tell me a job that isn't this way now days.
