Praying for you and your little one GP!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Will be thinking of you GP. Best of luck to you and your LO x

 

[Mrs Mel]

So sorry to hear your news Ginger. It's good that the problem has been identified earlier rather than later and she is in the best hands I'm sure. Thinking of you x

 

[3boys]

Gp thinking of you x

 

[Tink1o5]

Thinking of you gp. Hopefully you get answers soon so you know what direction this is all taking and aren't left in limbo to long.

 

[GingerPanda]

We're in a holding pattern for now. Waiting for the hospital to call me to schedule further testing next week. Depending on what those tests say, we may or may not deliver.

Hopefully I can get little girl to flip head down, just in case!

 

[cdelmar]

Wow everything is getting so exciting for everybody now!

I hope that your boys stay put a little longer for you dark star!

Is everybody prepared? I feel like if my LO was to come now, I wouldn't be at all ready! I'm 34 weeks tomorrow so need to get in the zone lol xx

Im not ready at all with his room or my hospital bag.

I feel like i have nothing to do and everything to do all at the same time! Lol im nesting at work and preparing all of my what if i go off early stuff that needs to be done.. But havent been doing that at home lol
Although babies room is pretty well done.. I started hospital bag last night.. Should get dh to install the car seat.. Do some freezer cooking.. Things like that.

I am working on getting my things at work too, started a week ago. Breast pump has been sitting in closet for past month i think and the hospital where i will deliver, all of the valets are certified in installing the car seats.

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.

Ginger, I really hope everything turns out well, keep us posted!

 

[Mississippi03]

Ginger sending you and luci positive vibes.. A stint in the nicu might be the best thing for her!!

 

[Dark_Star]

Isn't it wonderful though that we have the technology to check on the babies and know when it's time to take them out and give them some help?

It is! I could very well lose this baby if not for the careful attention of my doctors. So glad to live in these times!

 

[Dark_Star]

I've been admitted for 24 hours at which point they will either send me home or to a larger hospital. Not pleased about being away from home tonight!

 

[Tink1o5]

Sorry your dealing with your problems too DS. Keep us posted. Hopefully they can figure something out soon for you so you have a plan in place.

 

[Mississippi03]

This babies movements are everywhere i feel like some are moving closer to my ribs... But ive started getting pretty good ones around my pubic bone. Is this normal?

 

[GingerPanda]

Thinking of you Dark Star!


Mississippi, it could just be that baby is running out of room and hitting all kinds of places. Luci doesn't kick much, because she always seems to have her feet in her mouth during ultrasounds lol

 

[Tink1o5]

Gp- that's funny! My little girl likes to have both her feet right across her forehead and face haha

 

[tallybee]

Ginger I'm sorry to hear of the issues you're dealing with. I'm sure you and luci will be well looked after xx thinking of you xx

Dark star thinking of you too hun xx

Mississipi I'm the same hun movement all over the place. Feels like she's battering every organ I've got. Headbutting cervix and kicks in the ribs, also rolls and punches everywhere in between Xx

 

[WW1]

Dark star and GP - hoping all is okay. It sounds like you're both being well monitored which is great.

Charmed - how did your scan go?

I'm 30 wks today and we've finally started painting the nursery. I'm also making some curtains which seemed like a good idea when I first thought of it!

 

[Charmed86]

DS, I've got everything crossed that you get to come home. Hospitals are the worst!!

My scan went ok yesterday, they were happy with the fluid levels & the blood flow. They didn't really find a reason as to why Oliver was being so quiet, hopefully it was just a quiet day for him! After my scan they made me have another CTG & if that was normal (it was), I could go home. It was so frustrating though, the mw initially set it up to monitor me as if I was 33+2 & DH didn't notice until we were half an hour in! So it had to be reset & then Oliver decided to go quiet so it took a while to meet the criteria. We were there for around 3hrs & of course, I took no snacks. When will I learn?!

DH & I are emptying the downstairs of our house today (well, mostly DH) as the damp work starts on Monday! Fun fun fun. Hope everyone else is enjoying their weekend so far xxx

 

[MissR]

GP so sorry to hear what your going through x will be thinking of you and your family. I'm glad your doctors picked up on this early for you to put Luci in the best care possible! X

 

[startd]

Oh my goodness, a lot has happened on here this week! DS and GP - I hope things are going ok for you, and Charmed, I hope you got to go home.

I'm having a quiet weekend, as I overdid things a bit during the week - culminating in Braxton Hicks (starting to get painful) 7 mins apart for 3 hours, and a considerable drop in baby movement last week. Oops. Moral of the story is that crawling around trying to repair things is not a good idea.
It has made me realise though, that I should probably start thinking about washing items, and at least laying out what we might need to take to the hospital with us!
