Grumpy Fun Meno Blog

Now, onto the suffering. So I actually started having really bad periods when I was very young. My cycle started at 12 years old and I was always heavy. It affected many activities within school and continued on for years. Not ever being able to take any pills I just suffered. I had my first Son at 19 and he was a natural birth. But following this my periods returned with a vengeance. I clotted, passed out was constantly anaemic. Doctors decided I needed to be quarterised!!! This ended up happening twice. It never helped. My second Labour was also natural apart from having my waters broken. But was the most horrific experience ever. Sorry, going to go off track a little now. But I think background helps. My second boy was not a very well baby at all. He was sent home but a Mother’s instinct knows. Two long weeks of my boy crying at lights and screaming in pain, I am fighting the doctors and midwife constantly. He’s finally admitted, loads and loads of tests. Called a neurotic Mother 

by Doctors and family. Finally following a lumbar puncture in my poor babies back. We got told he has Meningitis. Then later diagnosed as Group B Streptococcal Meningitis – oh he caught it from you they said 

Anyway I digressed.
