Wishing, I'm so sorry hunni you are going thru all this. Have you tested again or are you just going to wait till AF doesn't show up? Sickness getting worse and bloating is a great sign. That didn't happen last time did it?
Star, I think a little dancing aint gonna hurt lil bean! If anything all the happy feelings with having fun is probably great for your body. Give it a bit more energy to get beanie stickin!
How's everyone else doing ladies?
Well, this weekend was very stressful for me. Had a big scare with the baby. I'm pretty sure everyone knows that my 1st 2 babies were born pre-term and I'm getting shots every week to prevent that this time and being watched very close. Well, all day Fri I was getting Braxton Hicks and Fri night while out to dinner the Braxton Hicks started to become, I wouldn't say painful just uncomfortable. In the middle of the night I had to get up and pee and when I stood up I leaked a little. I thought I just peeded myself ( yet again
) and went back to sleep. Well, Sat morning my back was killing me, was very sore inside and crampy like I had my AF. I went to an outgrown sale to buy baby stuff and was leaking the whole time. I kept going to the bathroom checking because it felt just like when you get your AF. THe fluid was clear, very watery, no smell. I got home and called the Dr because this is exactly what happened when my water was leaking with my DD. Of course they brought me right in. I thought they would say its just watery discharge and tell me I'm too worried and send me home. Not so lucky. Got to the hospital and they checked the fluid to a testing strip and the nurse said "oh, let me go get the Dr." The Dr cam in right away and and checked me with the speculum, and said she saw lots of mucus and took a sample to put under a microscope. Then she tested the fluid again and the strip turned positive for amniotic fluid! My heart stopped! The hospital staff went into full gear! They ordered an emergency scan to check the babies fluid, and the Dr. said that blood can turn the strip positive as well so went to go check it out. They said if my water was leaking I'd have to stay in the hospital till my due date or till my body just wasn't a good environment for the baby anymore. I wasn;t having true contractions so they were happy about. They just kept telling me, "Hunni, if you have to have the baby right now, you know that's not good right. Even though the baby is Viable, he's just now viable and there is only a 40% chance that he'll survive." I got the scan and there was a very good amount of fluid! He was moving around and is 2.2lbs and measuring 2 wks ahead of what I am. The Dr said it wasn't my water leaking its my mucus plug becoming loose. Typically, its not suppose to come loose till a couple days-weeks of the baby being born. That's why she saw the blood and mucus. Because the plug is still so high, with the heat of my body by the time it gets to wear its coming out its very thin. They gave me 2 shots of steroids to open up his lungs in case I do go into labor, it will give him a better chance of making it. So much stress, so much worry. I just wanted this baby to be a healthy normal pregnancy. Def looks like this will be my last baby.
My body just isn't built to have babies and its not far to put my body, the baby and the everyone else thru all of this!
All my life my dream was to be a mom and I have 2 beautiful babies and one on the way. Seeing there little faces is worth all of this and I would do it again in a second. Sorry so long ladies!
Here's the ultra sound pics I got from Sat. Next scan is Apr 13th if he stays put!
