Hi everyone
I'm not doing two bad, into my second week now. I've not been too bored as of yet, I've got my own room with shower and toilet, there a tv room and I've still been working a bit so it's going ok
I'm going to go home for the day on Saturday and spend it with OH and the doggies, think doggies are missing me lots. They've slept in our bedroom quite a few times since I've been gone, lol. OH did bring them to see me last weekend so we sat out on the grass at the back of the car park
My only issue is my consultant, I don't really like her. Initially when I was booked in last week I was told by a midwife I would get 3 hb checks a day, totally made me feel at ease and not anxious knowing they are regularly checking baby
This week she has changed it too 1ctg a day and no HB checks as there no good for me apparently??? I was fuming, unless she has also suffered the loss of 7 babies then I don't think she is in a position to say what is or isn't good for me. So yday I mainly spent it in tears as I felt she was such a cow. The midwives are still coming in though and listening to baby before I go bed so I haven't told them they shouldn't be
Food portions could do with being double the size but they don't taste too bad to be fair, limited menu as I'm gluten free so I prob go home a bit thinner (wishful thinking)
If anyone in uk has been watching super hospital, that's the hospital I am currently in and the obstetrician that was on tonight doing a c section is my obstetrician. Was pretty tough watching tonight's story, last week was tough too because it
Featured the nicu isaac was in and the mortuary staff we dealt with
Congrats nessaw on team pink, lovely news
Hi to everyone else, I update again soon

Hope - glad to hear that the beginning of your stay hasn't been too bad. It's nice that you get to go home for the day. Seems a little odd that they would change their minds about listening to the heartbeat. When I was in hospital they listened at least 3x/day. I hope the remainder is uneventful but passes quickly for you. Keep us posted!

Happy to see new bfp's and that everyone is doing well.
Nothing to report here except my little miss isn't letting me have any sleep as she is an active baby. Don't mind too much as I now can feel that she is healthy rather than worrying!

Radiance - congratulations!
TTCMoon - congratulations on your little one
Nessaw - congratulations on your 20 week scan and team pink
Hope - sorry your consultant is not understanding, they should give you all the heartbeat checks they promised you, she obviously doesn't understand what it's like
Loeylo - glad everything is going well for you!

Hope, glad to hear you're doing well. The consultant obviously has no idea what you've been through.
Don't let her send you home, stay where you are, because otherwise you will be worrying all the time and that will be no good for you or baby.
How many weeks are you now, I'm guessing about 30 ish?

I'm 29w tomorrow x
All the midwives say how lovely she is, I'm just not getting that 'lovely' vibe
I seen the consultant today that did my scans from 14-24w so I asked her about the hb checks. She said they go on mothers instinct, if I'm getting kicks no point doing a hb check because it's only a snapshot of that moment. It made sense what she said she explained it better than my own consultant

Hello Everyone! Idk if I gave ya'll a full update of what was going on with me being medivac'd and all. I know that some remember what happened back in April but just in case, here is exactly what's going on up until this point.
Man it's been crazy. At 23+2 I got admitted to the hospital off base in Turkey for preterm labor and my cervix was shortened to 2.5cm and was funneling. They put me on tocolytic's to stop my contractions. Then at 24+4 I was medivac'd from Turkey to Landstuhl, Germany and admitted to an off base because my cervix was 1.7cm in length - and my husband went ahead and moved to our new base in New Mexico with the pets. I stayed at the hospital off base for 4 weeks from 22 April until 18May where once I got out my cervix was only about 1 - 1.3cm in length and I had to be put on an IV tocolytic while in the German hospital. My husband got here on 15May, and when I was transferred back to the Army Hospital in Landstuhl on 18May at 28+2 they let me go into lodging with my husband. A week later at 29+5 my cervical length was measured and it was only .83cm in length and was closed, so at that point they were pretty sure I was staying in Germany until my son is born and they measured him - his head was 3 weeks ahead (32/33 weeks) and he was weighing 3lbs 5oz. I had another appointment at 32+5 and my cervix had shortened to .43cm before a fundal press and 0.13cm with a fundal press and he had gone up in weight to 5lbs 6oz (11oz per week). They told me I was for sure not flying and they still didn't think I'd go past 34 weeks, four different docs said this anyways. Now tomorrow, Saturday 18July I will be 37 weeks along and still waiting for him to come. I have no update on my cervix because they will not check it again, but I am being checked for Cholestasis because I'm SUPER itchy.
I'm still not supposed to have sex, but this week me and DH said screw it (giggles) I'm 36 weeks this week so we might as well be badoinking since we can't once I give birth for a few weeks. I've got my birth plan written out, but now we have to wait until I get the results for the Cholestasis to see if they're inducing me.

Still stalking this thread & glad to read not only of pregnancies going well but of the new BFPs - congratulations
Glad you're now safely in hospital Hope, even if it is boring. I hope you soon get to experience the lovely side of your consultant!
Radiance, I see in your signature that you lost your little Elijah to IUGR, I hope you don't mind me asking, but did it start early on or later?

It's fine
It started at 16 weeks. He was measuring perfectly and ahead and all of a sudden he was two weeks behind on everything. I was very worried but no one ever told me something was wrong nor did they take it seriously. When he was born his height was normal but his weight was extremely behind.
