2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

I've been admitted into hospital this evening with reduced movements :( I'm not sure what to think, the midwives won't really tell me anything. I hope my little bear is ok. Thankfully, they've given me a private room.. I'm really not good with hospitals & they wanted me on a ward with women who were throwing up. I'm not good with sick! I should be monitored more in the morning & they're ordering a scan to check his blood flow. I'm really hoping they're just being overly cautious!

Hope everything is ok Charmed. Keep us posted.

Im sure he's ok Mississippi, have some orange juice or something sweet and I'm sure he'll be kicking around in no time :) x
 
Thank you ladies! I had another CTG this morning & that was ok. They've booked me for a scan, but it's tomorrow & apparently if I go home, I lose my slot. I'm so angry. None of the food here is GD friendly!

Mississippi, my midwife has recommended putting a hot water bottle etc on my back before, just don't put it on your bump & you should be ok. Try Mrs Mel's advice and eat something to see if that gets baby dancing around a bit xx
 
Glad that things are looking okay on the tests Charmed! I also hate the hospital... it reminds me of the reason I am there and I can't stop worrying. My protest is the only reason I have not been admitted already. It's ridiculous that you can't get GD food.

Mississippi I'm sure your baby is okay. Hope its movement picks up for you later. It's normal for the babies to have quiet days this late in the pregnancy to my understanding.

I kicked my hubby out of the bed last night and just surrounded myself in pillows, I slept better than I have in weeks. Still sore but I am feeling more optimistic today.
 
Lol, DS! I've done that a few times! I've found it so comfortable to take half of our quilt and bunch it up behind my back so I can sleep at an angle, rather than on my side as it hurts my hips. Poor hubby has to go downstairs or go cold though! :haha:

Really hoping they discharge me soon! The woman next to me keeps throwing up, so I have to leave the ward. So frustrating because I was getting good movements until then. Now I think Oliver has gone back to sleep. Sigh x
 
Charmed i hope you get home soon girl!

I have felt him wriggling around in there today so that gives me a bit of peace lol.. It was stupid of me! At least i have my AC and ceiling fan on to keep my heat own a bit but i wish i didnt fall asleep!
 
SO glad to hear things are looking ok Charmed! That's insane about the GD food though, you'd think they'd have people all the time with same requirements!?

I have been freaking out as my baby is breech. I felt he was transverse yesterday but def breech with head jammed under my right rib this morning. I feel like I don't have as much time as I should with my history of 35 & 37 wk babies and especially as my last was an EMCS due to cord prolapse with a transverse baby that never turned :( :( I had the chiro this morning and she did the Webster technique (what an experience!), booked in twice next week as well and am booked in for moxibustion next Tuesday. Only thing I am happy with is I am at a point where if things do happen I can deliver here seeing as I am so close to 34 weeks and baby is measuring 2-3 weeks bigger. Having lots of prodromal labour.

We bought a new mattress! I have been complaining about sore hips in bed and we worked out we bought the last one in my first pregnancy 8 years ago so we bought a new one which arrived yesterday. Best $2000 we've spent in a while lol slept even better than normal last night and not even slightly sore hips without all the extra pillows I had been using ..yay!
 
Aliop!! Make sure you put a good mattress protector on there!! Dont wanna ruin it if your waters break in bed!!

As for me... 34 weeks! Eeekk!!!!!
 
Well, ladies. Not so great news at our ultrasound yesterday.

Luci has dropped from the 32nd percentile last month to less than the 10th yesterday. Such a rapid decline. Her heart rate and movements are still spot on. They did a non-stress test yesterday, and we passed with flying colors.

We've been diagnosed with asymmetrical IUGR. Her head is measuring normal at 34 weeks, but her abdominal circumference is only measuring at 28 weeks. It means my placenta is likely dying and starving her to death for blood, oxygen, and nutrients.

We have an appointment with the actual doctor today at noon to discuss what our next steps are going to be. But honestly, with how rapidly she declined in one month, I think a c-section and a lot of time in the NICU is in my very near future.
 
I'm so sorry GP. I will keep your family in my thoughts. I'm sure little Luci will be in good hands.
 
I'm so sorry GP, I'm glad they've caught it. You're 34 weeks now, so stay positive. Even if Luci has to be in the NICU for a little while, it's the best thing for her. I'm sending massive hugs right now because I know no one wants this sort of information. I hope they can come to a decision soon so you're not left worrying too long xxx
