Hi ladies
Really didnt think i was gonna make it this far but here I am and I cudnt be more relieved.
I've not had the easiest of pregnancies right from the word go really.
At 5 weeks pregnant I was told by a not so nice doctor that they did not want me being seen as it was to early and they did not want to see me until I was 8 weeks or do any blood tests.
She said because I'm 39 (practically ancient with the way she reacted)
that theres no point in me going in to see a doctor because at 39 i was at a supper high risk of having a Misscarige.
I was so upset esp because I have had 3 Misscariges in the past and I was a anxious nervous wreck right up until 14 weeks. Then I chilled a bit.
But then at just 17 weeks I was diognosed with a pregnancy liver condition that causes extreme itching called ICP. It can cause still birth and very pre term labour. So as u can imagine I was back to being a complete nervous wreck and my anxiety was through the roof.
I just focused on getting to 24 weeks and the time dragged and dragged. The 3rd trimester seemed so so soooo far away.
But now here I am. 27 weeks and finally I'm in the 3rd trimester.
Hoping i will be In here for as long as possible and that baby stays put until the very least 35 weeks.
I will be induced no later than 37 weeks due to my health issues but may be earlier.
As long as he is born healthy that's all that matters
He is already 2lb 4oz so he is doing well.
I have another growth scan on 6th Aug and will see my high risk pregnancy consultant again.
Anyway just thought I wud introduce myself and say hello
