I'm off for a blood test now so won't have wifi cupcake I can't wait for more updates xx

Thanks girls I'm pooping myself xx

 

[MrsDuck]

Yay for you two being ttc buddies xx

I've just got my letter and boo its a booking in clinic, no mention of scan 1 and a half hours. This appointment followed my 12 week scan IF everything was ok at the scan last time. What's the point of booking me in if everything isn't ok with the baby, it's madness not to scan me first isn't it?

 

[baileybubs]

That is a bit strange mrs d? I had a booking appt at 8 weeks where they took my blood and I peed in a pot but the big appt was after my 12 week scan where they weighed me etc etc.

Maybe you'll be able to ask about when your scan will be but I would have thought it would be soon!

eeeek cupcake is at her MW appt now! I'm so excited I could explode lol!!

 

[MrsDuck]

I know I thought it was a strange order to do things in??

Eeek lbcc will be here soon

Well a quick update, midwife checked the pads and thought that it was fluid but when she speculumed me there wasn't more water, so the conclusion is my hind waters MAY have gone as I thought. However my bp was very elevated at 140/100 so I've been sent to day assessment unit. Am there now and have had a CTG, but my bp is still high at 140/90, and my urineis now showing traces of protein.

Got to have another bp check at 1, and wait around for blood results to see if I have the onset of pre eclampsia I guess

Mrs d that sucks about your appointment. Are you tempted to get a private scan if NHS doesn't materialise?

 

[baileybubs]

Aw poop cupcake, I'm sorry to say but that's what happened to me before they induced me which sucks Hun.

But don't worry, they might not rush to induce you yet, they only did for me coz I was at 40 weeks. But then again if your hind waters have gone I don't know. Just keep focusing on what happens at the end of all of it and lbcc being in your arms Hun and it will all be brilliant. Have you had any contractions? I could see small ones I was having when they were monitoring me.

How are you feeling?

 

[cupcake1981]

I feel shi* tbh, everything's been going well and this has come from nowhere . Gotta hang about and get blood results and get seen by a doctor then ill know if I can go home.

Really don't want an induction. Still got backache and am getting tightenings, tiny ones were showing on the ctg.

Aw Hun it's crap I know but try and focus on having your little baby in your arms, I know that's hard when you have to go through all that first but it will all be ok.
And you might not be induced at all Hun, plus they also use the pessary and gel first to get you started and labour can kick in naturally from there and seen as your waters have already gone that's a good sign your body is ready anyway.

What's the general jist of what the MWs think will happen from here?

 

[cupcake1981]

Well 2 of my bloods have come back normal and if the other is ok then they'll let me go home. Not sure if they'll want to continue to monitor me in the coming days. The MW that just talked through my results with me didnt seem to even know about the waters!!

 

[MrsDuck]

Oh no cupcake that's poo, I hope your bp comes down and you don't need to be induced. Come on contractions get going xxxx

I'll ask about a scan on Monday and see what they say xx

 

[MrsDuck]

Glad your bloods are normal, I didn't realise that they would let you go home, I thought you'd be in hospital now until lbcc arrives xx

 

[baileybubs]

That's not good that the MW didn't know about the waters! Make sure they are aware coz I'm sure I've heard that there's a risk of infection once your waters have gone that's why they don't like leaving it more than 24 hours.

Good sign that the bloods are ok though Hun, maybe your bp was just high coz of the waters going and the stress of it all

Mrs d fingers crossed you find out about that scan soon!

Have you got all your stuff with you cupcake?

 

[baileybubs]

Glad your bloods are normal, I didn't realise that they would let you go home, I thought you'd be in hospital now until lbcc arrives xx

I thought that too mrs d, if it had just been the bp I know there are tablets they can give, but with your waters going too I wasn't sure they'd send you home.

 

[MrsDuck]

Any more news cupcake? xxx

 

[baileybubs]

Hmmm no news......do we think this is good news or bad news?

 

[MrsDuck]

I'm really hoping its good news :-/

 

[baileybubs]

I'm getting nervous now......hope all is ok cupcake!

 

[cupcake1981]

Well I'm home, my bloods all came back normal and my bp has stayed down at 140/90, which is high for me. No one at the hospital seems to believe me about the waters and think I'm stupid enough to mistake wee or discharge.

So I'm back to the MW on Friday for another bp check unless more waters go before then.

They don't like you to go more than 48 hours apparently but since no one actually thinks I've lost any waters I'm not really sure what to think!
