She checked my cervix today and I was 1cm dilated and thinning. She sent me to the hospital right away to get the steroid shot in my hip to mature the baby's lungs. I get the second one tomorrow. Also, the baby is in the 13th percentile for weight, in doctor's words meaning out of 100 babies, 90 of them are bigger than her. They also noticed there's a low amount of amniotic fluid around her, meaning my placenta isn't doing the job it should. And then she's breech. So, strict bed rest still. Steroid shots, and progesterone to insert 2 times a day. They will also be giving me ultrasounds/checking my cervix weekly now. Next ultrasound is in 5 days. Wish me luck. I'm really not ready for her to come out yet.
Dessy im so sorry but at least you will have the shots to mature the babies lungs which will help her if she does come early Please dont get out of that bed now, just relax and watch the OC and try not to worry, it sounds like they have a plan in action for you hun to try and keep your little one in as long as possible xxxxx

You must be quite stressed at the moment Dessy, but it sounds like your medical people are doing the very best for you both. I hope she stays in for you hun.

I was pretty mad with the childrens school today, they were open this morning, so my dad kindly took us in the car, which skidded a lot, and I almost slipped twice, good job I had my dad there, it could of been quite a bad idea, esp with pp too. I wont be taking them in if the snow carries on.

awww Dessy, I am so sorry hun. Hopefully the bed rest will do the trick as well as the shots. I know you are not ready for the baby to come out but at least you are far enough along that the baby should be fine. My friend gave birth to her baby boy at 25-26 weeks and he is now a very healthy 8 month old!!

Hi girls, went to my GP today, just for a check up! Everything is fine, have put on 2stone in 27 weeks??! (28lbs) omg! I can't believe it! I have to say my appitite has increased so its defo not all baby! The other thing is I have only seen a midwife once and my OB once, I asked about a GTT test as everyone else seems to be having one and my GP said she only does them in there is glucose in my urine?!
Not seeing my OB for another 4 weeks, just feel like no one is really looking after me, am I worrying for no reason?
Dessy how are you today? Xx

Hi ladies!! 26 weeks today only 98 days to go!!
When it comes to shots I won't be getting any. Personally I feel like our society has gobe medicine and antibiotic crazy. My mom back in 85 never got any with me either and said most of the kids that got shots got sick verses I never hsd issues as a kid. I'm also gonna refuse every shot for Eli that I can.

As long as you fully understand what each jab is for the pros and cons and the full understanding of the disease they are giving the jabs against and can expain to the health professionals why then its your choice and your fully informed that's the main key and they should respect that.

Personally I would much rather have the jabs than risk whooping cough or measles but everyone is entitled to make their choice
