I had my 9 year old dd at 35+4 because of pre eclampsia. She did spent 18 days in scbu and was teeny but you wouldn’t think it now. She is such a diva lol.
time will fly now for you.
Oh wow Shezza! Do you have a date for the section yet?
I have so much to wrap my head around, it’s so extensive that I have a planned blood transfusion , hysterectomy and bladder repair included in my treatment plan, I have to travel to London at a specialist hospital and was told I’ll be in ICU for a few days.
All my previous babies were full term so this will be a new experience for me.
I haven’t had the date as yet, I have to go back to meet the surgical team and the other specialist involved in my care, I then have another fetal medicine scan at 30 weeks and then I think I’ll be given the date.
Oh love that’s a lot to deal with but I’m sure u will be under the best care.
Please keep us posted love.
What hospital in London is it Kings?
Oh I think that one has been on 24 hours in A&E.
You will be in good hands love. Please keep us posted.
Did they say u will be in a induced coma? I was in ICU when I had liver failure but was in a induced coma so don’t remember much. But you will get the best care. X
Yes that’s only about a month away!! I feel bad to complain since I’m not going through half of what you are, but I am so tired and done being pregnant. About 2 more months for me.
I’m sorry I missed your reply, I’ve been all over the shop. The said It depends on my blood loss, it’s so much information to take in.
I was given 2 initial dates once being 25th October at 34 weeks or 5th November at 35 + 4.
I’m under joint care in two different NHS trust, I’m in Dorset so I have all my usual appointment near home and the specialist one in London. The consultant I see at my local hospital is pushing for 25th October, my specialist team had a meeting yesterday and will be calling me with a firm date and dates for my other appointments to see them before she’s born.
I really wanted to enjoy this pregnancy knowing she’s our last one but it’s kicking my ass, I now have gestational diabetes to add to my forever ending pregnancy complication list of things.
I hope all you other lovely ladies are doing well and having a positive pregnancy experience. I so wish I was but in the end I am looking at the positive that I now have the right team and not long from now I’ll meet our princess.
Not long now hon. We are still ttc. 8 months ttc now and the miscarriage was 4 cycles ago, nothing but BFNs since I’m so so fed up and sad.
U guys be posting baby pics b4 you know it.
I pray all will go well love. I am thinking of you
Thank you, not long to go now. I have 2 appointments in London this week and another in Dorset so it’s a week of many appointments. I planned to do so many things with this being our last pregnancy so I’ve done a maternity photoshoot, I’m hopefully having a baby brunch on the weekend and aiming to make as much memories as possible as I now look forward to our complete family.oh wow shezza! Good luck! I feel you on the gestational diabetes i’ve had it since 13 weeks and it sucks but that’s probably the least of your worries, sorry you’re going through so much. Please keep us updated!
She really is so precious!! Happy October and maybe baby month for you!
@Shezza84uk she is gorgeous love. Praying all your appointments go well.
Not long for the rest of you now.
It’s flown.
Thank you, they’ve moved my date to 1st Nov to allow her an additional week for the steroids to do their job.
I can’t believe how quickly it’s gone, I’m on my official countdown now I have a firm date.
Thank you for thinking of me despite your own personal grief. How are you? I’m looking forward to getting to the other side. It’s such a hard process to digest because I’ve now been told instead of a partial hysterectomy I need to have a full hysterectomy. I wasn’t mentally prepared for it at all.just popped over to see how you were doing! Not long to go now! Be here before you know it!

I hope the medical management works, it’s all so much to deal with emotionally and physically. I’m super anxious about it all I have going on, I just seem to get continued doom and gloom each time I go, the only plus is she’s doing well which I’m so grateful for.oh gosh I’m so sorry it’s a lot to get your head around. Hey it’ll be a rough time getting used to it hormonally and emotionally afterwards but she will be so worth it when you see her face for the first time. I bet you’ll be glad just to get it done with now, so much anxiety. I’m doing ok thanks, still on with medical management for now and hoping it works xx
