wowm lots happened since yesterday hope everyone is feeling better and good luck to the others.

i had my appoinment today and was refused a sweep was told to ask my midwife on monday i did get a growth scan though and was told baby is very low down and thats why im measuring behind but that he weighs 6lb 14oz give or take a pound, although i dont really trust growth scans they told me dd was 8lb and she was only 6.5 lol

Thank you for the well wishes and good luck rocketb.

I feel so much better I ate a sandwich last night and I've drank so much water which has made me feel human!!

I was in L&D AGAIN! last night (getting quite sick of the place lol)
At my MW app. my BP was 140/98 (my max is allowed to be 130/95 i think) so it was back up the hospital to get my bloods done (they should have done these when I was there earlier really) as I had a lot of protein in my urine which was most likely beacuse of a UTI but coupled with the high BP it needed to be checked.

We were there for 6 hours!!! (it only normally takes 2 hours to get blood results back!) Luckily my protein levels are the same as they have always been and are completely normal which means the protein in my urine IS because of my UTI BUT my uric acid is starting to get very high which is an indication of pre eclampsia
At the moment because I don't have any other syptoms (my BP fell to 130/80 in L&D) and my protein levels are acceptable they have let me go but I have to book another MW app. for tomorrow and an app. at day assessment on Monday for repeat bloods.

I just know the rest of my pregnancy is going to be spent in and out of hospital and I am trying to prepair myself for possibly having a ELCS instead of my VBAC which I really hope doesn't happen as I need to be able to lift DD up and have cuddles with her too :'(

I suppose the good news is I'm at home for the moment AND all this PET trouble started at 37 weeks when baby is ready to come and not at 28 weeks like with DD as that was very scary.

Anyway good luck everybody today

Just wanted to let you girls know that my twin girls arrived safely on December 2nd, 2011... Grace @ 2:52pm weighing 5lbs 12oz and Ella @ 2:57pm weighing 5lbs 15oz. I had a fabulous delivery, natural and vaginal.... was scheduled to be induced; had the foley balloon put in the day before and it started my contractions ;; when I went into hospital the next morning at 9am I was already 6cm!
Couldnt have asked for a better experience, and couldnt ask for better babies as they are both breastfeeding like champions!

Thinking of yous all, and wishing you all safe and happy deliveries!

Good luck everyone due today


Good news (at last lol) my MW app. went well which means no hospital for me today!!!! BP was 140/90.
My uric acid is too high though which means my protein is going to start to raise too which means I'm at quite a high PET risk.
I'm going to ask for a sweep at my hospital app. on Monday, my MW agrees this is a good idea. We both think its a good idea to coax Pudding out before things get too dangerous and they have to induce, which I'll decline and therefore have to have an ELCS.
