Okayyyy so like 5 minutes after I wrote that I heard the door open and figured it wasthe nurse oming back to tell me they couldnt do anything but nope it was my doctor I guess he figured I was pretty important! Anyways I told him I am scared percosets are too strong so he prescribed me vicoden instead but he is worried I have a kidney infection so he sent me to get a urinalysis also he told me that I will most likely be induced between 36-37 weeks I dont feel comfortable being induced at 36 weeks so I will wait until 37.... he also told me that doing the amnio would be more difficult due to my anterior placenta but said we will worry about that when we get to it.... He wants to see me in a week vs 2 weeks for a bit just to make sure I am doing alright. I AM SO HAPPY I GOT TO SEE HIM!!

glad you got to see your dr Brooke!

I had my 32 week appointment today and my midwife said baby is head down, hope he stays that way!! I also was SO excited when I saw that I had only gained a little under 3 pounds these last 4 weeks. (considering I gained 9 the last 4 before that haha)

I dont go back until 36 weeks and then Im scheduled for 38 weeks and just under 40. SO hoping I wont have to go to that last appointment ;-)

Missangie - good job on the weight gain! I had only gained about 15lbs the whole pregnancy until a couple of weeks ago and it just seemed to pile on over night. Now I feel sick when I weigh myself!

 

[Tilly87]

So glad you got to see your doctor Brooke and don't have to wait, hopefully you can last until 37wks to be induced.

Yay for baby being head down missangie!

I have only been weighed once this whole pregnancy and that was at my booking in appointment with the midwife, would love to see how much i weigh now, i don't keep scales in my house.

aww brooke glad u managedto see your dr in the end

misangie good on you for only gaining 3lb these last few weeks

afm so far at last app i had gained 13kg my consultant said 12 is the average overall so seeing as ive still got about 5 weeks till bubs will be here so im guessing ill be gaining a bit more just yet lol with my other pregnancies i gained far too much with my first it was 4stone and my 2nd was 4.5stone so in comparrison im doing quite well

im off to the hospital in a couple of hours for this weeks consultant app so will see whats happeng with my kidneys i had the 2 doses of steroids last week just in case things change and they need to get bubs out early so i feel relieved knowing weve had them

So glad you got to see you doc! I would not feel comfortable being induced at 36 weeks either. I hope everything is ok with your kidney's. Keep us updated.

So happy your appointment went well Yay for head down! My little guy is too. I have my 33 week apt on Mon and I so hope I have only gained a bit since my 31 week apt. But I swear my baby went through a hug growth spurt because I have been eating alot! lol

I hope you do not have to go to the last apt either!

I also had my OB apt today..I wish it would of went better. I lost a pound and he did a cervix check. He said that she is really really low and that my cervix has now moved forward and has shaped around her head so it's now thin. He didn't say how effaced I am but he is not happy and said she isn't behaving at all. She is engaged fully and then some. He said that as of today I am not open but that can change at anytime. I guess I will be having a preemie after all. Now it's just wondering when. I am really praying for 36 weeks because I know she will be okay and I will get to take her home with me. As of now I can go at anytime and that really has me worried. I have been staying down so I don't know that else I can do to keep her in. I just feel like I am doing something wrong.

Sorry you are having such a rough pregnancy. Fx'd she stays in there until 36 weeks. GL

Wantingbumb (((HUGS))) You are doing nothing wrong! it happens. Now you deal with it.

Did Dr put you on bed rest? I would think that would help, staying laying down/propt up in bed. Take the pressure off your cervix.

Keeping you in my prayers.

I have been on bed rest sense around 20 weeks. I only ever get up to use the bathroom and I hate to say it but take a 5 min shower 1x a week. Gross I know but I wanted to stay down for her. I knew that something was going on in there because of the way everything was feeling and now I am just holding onto the fact that I am not dilated as of yet. Well and the fact that when I get to 36 weeks (because she will not come before then..I just say no) I will have a very fast labor and with it being done 100% drug free that can only be helpful for me. Thank you for having me in your prayers, it really means a lot to me!!

Fingers crossed for you wantingbbbump, you're doing the very best you can, please don't blame yourself.

 

[PinkmummyOf3]

Mumtobeagain, glad you're getting good care, I'm sure 36 weeks will bee just fine....my daughter was born just short of 37 weeks, was only 5lb11oz but came home 3 hours later with me . Ooh Brooke, not long now then, glad you got to see doc, I'm really routing for you, sounds horrendous the pain you are in x

Good luck, I hope your baby stays put until 37wks, I had my 1st daughter at 36wks and she was put on antibiotics for 3days then on day 5 i got to take her home and she was perfectly healthy and still is. I hope everything goes well for you x

I am praying that your little girl stays put until at least 36wks, don't worry you are doing the best you can all you can do is keep resting, good luck x
