evening ladies, how are we all doing?
just a quick update for you all, i am now the proud owner of two dead legs!!! i had my steroids yesterday and today and also today got checked over, my cervix is thinning out and i am in early slow labour. Aggie refusing to co-operate with her ctg's and thouroughly enjoyed kicking the sensors off no matter how hard they tried to do it, 90mins later they gave up! she is still head down but not moving apart rom when they try to do the ctg. still having intermittent contractions and in a lot of back and hip pain and have been told if i have anymore of what happened the other night i am to go straight in as they might not be able to reach me in time due the distance to the hospital etc. so no waiting around hoping they will pass. tomorrow i have the scan to decide what will happen with Aggie, if she has grown they will leave her be i think but i she hasn't then she will be delivered at some point from tomorrow depending on the situation with the placenta and cord. so tomorrow is D day, i am just hoping that its the position she was in or the sonographer or something and that she has grown but when they did my fundal height today at the hospital she hasn't changed in size at all, she is still only measuring at 27 weeks fundal height not the 30 she should be so things are not looking too promising to be honest. to make matters worse i have had a couple of its over the weekend and am not feeling my best to say the least.
i asked at the hospital today about Aggies stay in SCBU and they said if she makes it to 34 weeks she would then stay in for minimum of two weeks depending on her progress so if she comes now i can expect at least 8 weeks of her being in there. this is a daunting thought to be honest, i remember what it was like when Em was in there and she was 5lb 3oz and on life support or weeks and then had to learn to suck and eed etc so a baby thats not even measuring 3lb is gonna have a tougher time. just wish there was something i could do, i feel like i have let her down so badly.
anyways enough of me moaning, how is everyone doing today?xxx
