Hello fellow May mummies to be
Following our appointment with the consultant on Thursday it was decided that I now posed too much of a risk to be at home on bed rest, so in a few hours I am checking into hospital at 29+4 weeks for the remainder of my pregnancy, possibly 10 weeks.
The reason being is that my SPD is now so severe that I am so immobile I am at risk of DVT. I also have major placenta previa that caused me to haemmorhage and lose a chunk of placenta at 25+3 weeks and so have been on full bed rest since leaving hospital for that to prevent a further bleed.
Both of these on their own pose risk to me and baby but due to being immobile and DVT risk I now need blood thinning injections daily, but should I then have a bleed cos of the placenta it could be fatal so I need to be closely monitored.
I am absolutley gutted as to the way my long awaited pregnancy has panned out, but completely understand why I have to go in. However I am scared, nervous, emotional, tired and just dont want to go and leave my hubby, fur babies and my home.
We were given 4 days grace to get things sorted as she had wanted me to go in on Thursday, but I have had to leave a load of lists for various people to get all final jobs and shopping done ready for little mans arrival, and to try and alleviate the pressure on my poor hubby who is gonna be run ragged I think.
On the plus side, since the last bleed and little man making his bid for freedom at 25+3 and 1lb 14oz he is now weighing 3lb 1oz since the steroids and he is doing great. His delivery will defo be a C section, I have absolutely no choice, and she would like to leave it until 39 weeks for his sake, but obviously this will change should I have another bleed or the SPD gets to the point where I can't get up.
All good fun eh!
Very much hoping I can still get on here and catch up with everyones progress, 3rd Tri happenings and arrivals!
Happy Mothers day to us all xx
