PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

I am no help with the IUGR, florida, but I did want to let you know I'm thinking of you and praying things even out soon. You are right in that you are walking a tightrope between keeping her incubating as long as possible and balancing your own health. But I have found a mother's instinct shouldn't be discounted and I would say do what yours is saying to do.

Oh Florida! My little guy was a late term IUGR baby but wasn't diagnosed until induction so I don't have a lot of input in that respect. Why c-section over induction? Do you feel it would be less stressful to her? Are you still being monitored? How is she doing? How are you doing? Massive huge hugs to you Mama.

FLorida- Hugs- how stressful. I agree that a mother's intuition shouldn't be discounted. Try to clear your mind as much as you can, and sit down with your MFM and talk about all of the options and make a decision together. Preemies have a great chance for a normal healthy life these days.

Thanks ladies
For now what I do know is:
1. my bp is maintaining well
2. Baby got an 8/8 on bpp(though she still barely moved and breathing was unable to be seen via diaphragm)
3. Strips show she's reactive but not like she should be at this stage and it's a decline from before
Not sure where we'll go from here. Getting sporadic movement but the saddest thing in the world is seeing her via us barely doing anything. Fluid is 10.3 today.

oh geez Florida! I'm so sorry! Please push to be put under someone's direct care- that is just ridiculous!!!! Can you just leave and go to another (better) hospital?!?! Worst case is you are just put on hospital bedrest which I know doesnt sound the best but I know Hope had to do that with her rainbow. Constant monitoring may offer you peace of mind. Prayers and positive thoughts being sent your way. And take solace that WORST WORST case scenario- ou are passed viability. HUgs

Well remembered Newly, I spent 9.5 weeks in hospital and it was the best thing I ever did. I got looked after, no cooking, no cleaning and totally relaxed , and I had daily ctg's xx

 

[Hope39]

Hi, I'm excited/terrified/impatient/a mess! About joining you guys! I'm 7w 4d based on an early 6 week scan. Under Dr Shahata (anyone else?) I had 4 miscarriages before my DS (nearly 3 now) and another miscarriage following. Each day is like a marathon of emotions! Have another scan booked for Monday - fingers crossed all still looking okay. Hope to get to know you all on our journey x

I've had two boys under mr Shehata, one is in heaven but the other is now 15 months old . I'm also a Midlands girl,where abouts are you?

 

[floridamomma]

We are home. They won't keep me as they say they can't do anymore there than at home. We have another bpp and nst Friday's and twice weekly from here on out. Baby girl is more active today. I was quite sick yesterday and hadn't eaten and stillborn hadn't before my bpp this probing. Hoping and praying that was the culprit.

 

[SweetV]

Glad to hear you are home!

 

[blueblue]

Florida, glad you are home. I'm sorry it's such a stressful time. Pick the delivery you feel is best for you. If you feel you would prefer a c-section, go for that. Can you get bed rest like Hope and Newly have suggested?

 

[floridamomma]

I am on bed rest at home only up to use bathroom and go to see ob. They will not admit unless I show signs of severe preeclampsia which I am grateful not to have. She seems to be back to he normal self today after I've gotten home

 

[dairymomma]

Glad to see a better update, Florida. FX things stay this way from now on.

 

[blueblue]

Glad she is back to her normal self, keep resting lots

 

[floridamomma]

I am a rainbow mom. I can't explain my feelings but she is here, 8 weeks early, but healthy. I'm in magnesium so I haven't held nor seen her since births

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Congrats Florida! What a roller coaster ride you have been on.

 

[confuzion]

OMG Florida this news took me off guard. I'm sorry things didn't happen the way you planned but how wonderful to hear that she is here and healthy. Congrats mama! I hope you recover well enough to be able to see her very soon.

 

[Tui]

Congratulations hun. Hope you are both doing ok.

 

[blueblue]
