Wunderful I had the steroids around 25/26 weeks

Congratulations Ich. You made it pretty much all the way. Well done.
All that rest you had before to keep him cooking will soon be a distant memory when your knackered and up all night. I know my bed rest seems so long ago!!
Congrats. Hope you heal quickly from the C xx

 

[wunderful78]

That's good prayerful don't be surprised if your given another round though

Thanks girls, the pain is a lot more manageable today thankfully.

Wunderful - I get a lot of tightening too, my tummy is tight quite a lot of the the time. Sometimes it's not a BH, but the fluid which makes it tight, although one way or the other I seem to feel stretched and under pressure a lot of the time. Hope your appointment goes well today

Congrats ich!
Hope all is well with everyone else.

I have a question. When did you start cervical monitoring and what was the length?
Does anyone know what length cervix is supposed to be at different stages?

 

[Agiboma]

Hi all,

Hope everyone is doing good. As for me just came back from the internist endocriniologist anyhow i tested my urine glucose +++ and protein ++, waiting to get back the blood and urine results tommorrow. My blood pressure is low and no other signs of preeclamsia except for the proteins in the urine. DR said they will monitore it to see how severe it gets and take it like that. Also said i need to start to see a kidney specialist, now thats new for me so that will make it 3 seperate dr appoinment a week till i deliver. YEAHHH

 

[baby_maybe]

You're going to be a busy lady then! I thought I was bad with one a week

Hope your blood results come back and don't show too much of a problem

 

[Agiboma]

The good thing is that all the DR work out of the same hospital and i live 10 minutes away so travel time is not too bad.

 

[baby_maybe]

I'm about 20-30 minutes away from mine so not too bad either

 

[Agiboma]

I purposely moved to my sisters house just for the convenience, once LO arrives will be back at out place.

 

[baby_maybe]

Good plan anything to make life easier

Had my appointment today. It didn't go as well as I had hoped. I was hoping for no change, but my cervix is now really thin. All I know is it's not even close to last week's 4 cm. the doctor just said that what matters is dilation now not length so he didn't tell me the new length. I'm dilated more than last week, but just a little less than 2cm. Not the best news. I'm already on hospital bed rest, so I don't know what else I can do. I'm hoping to make it well past 28 weeks, but it sounds like the doctors are just trying to get me to 28/29 week mark. I'm so worried for the health of my babies. Wish I had a cerclage, but I'm too far along.

GL loveseal hope LO's stay baking a few weeks longer

I had my little girl @831 1/23/13. 3 pounds 16 inches. Via c section. She's in a vent at 25% but doing well. Dr plans on weaning in the morning. I was in labor for a week and glad it's over. I got to the hospital at like 3 am and then my water broke. I have a fever but I'm doing well. The terbutaline and mag couldn't stop the labor. I'm glad it's over. Our princess is well. God is good! Details later, in getting rest tonight
