I am on strict bedrest after two incidents of bleeding and cramping, I am 50% effaced though my cervix is still closed. Ugh, this pregnancy is a roller coaster! They did tell me in labour and delivery this weekend that she is showing awesome accels with her movement - much more advanced than the average baby at 23 weeks, so I take joy and comfort in that!

I think its because I am a little "fluffier" than most so my first kicks (at 21wks) were hard to detect.

And I JUST now felt the kick on the outside of my belly last night too!! I was laying in bed with my hand draped over my belly.. he kicked and my hand moved!!! SOO COOL
 
Bizzy same here, the fluff is making us be more patient I think ;) Congrats girlie, feel awesome hun!!!
 
I should have been celebrating my V-Day yesterday, but after my OB visit (which included a GTT and cervical check...how rude!) she informed me that with the way my girl has been growing, her personal cutoff for me would be 28/29 weeks...my girl's heart is developing wonderfully, but some of her other organ systems are behind as is her general size. My OB just doesn't feel like baby has much of a chance of survival at this point. She's a little underdeveloped and my body keeps trying to hit "eject."

I am so ridiculously stressed, I can't breathe some moments. I just want everything to be okay. I just want her to be okay. :cry:
 
powerpuff I'm so sorry to hear your sad news! I hope that you are doing alright....keep your head up! T&P your way!
 
Puff...please keep positive :hugs:

Nicola...sending you :hugs: too

Love the words fluffy....I have the same issue as well as anterior placenta so only felt first kick at 20+6 and I don't feel them often :dohh:

:hi: to everyone..I do read but rarely post sorry :blush:

XxX
 
I just got the dreaded call from my OB's office...I failed my GTT. I am going in on Friday at 8:15 to do the three-hour test. I can't stop crying, I don't need another complication!
 
Powerpuff, I am so so sorry you are going through all this stress. Lots of thoughts and prayers for you.
 
Powerpuff sending you all my love & strength sweetie! Fight hard & keep ur chin up! We're all praying for u :hugs:
 
Powerpuff...I've heard many fail the one hour test but pass the three hour one so I have everything crossed for you :hugs:

XxX
 
Powerpuff - Please keep in mind that the doctors have there "professional opinions" , but remember that they are still just opinions. ANYTHING can happen. It is ALL in gods hands. Try and remember that YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR V DAY... which means they will do EVERYTHING they can to aid in her survival. And the fact that she has a strong heart is a GREAT thing.
Her other organs being a bit behind just means that she will have to do a little bit of growing under the close and watchful eye of the Neonatal Nursing Staff..

I love you (even though we have never met) and I know that GOD has a reason for everything. Who knows.. maybe this is his way of making your baby girl a STRONG DETERMINED FIGHTER. And she wont ever let anything in her life bring her down.

:hugs:
 
Hello ladies.:hi:
Hope everyone is well.
Powerpuff, i should've read here first:dohh: just replied to you in gestational complications. Are you still on bed rest? Keeping everything crossed that your little one keeps growing bigger and stronger inside you for as long as poss. Neonatal units are amazing and do wonderful things. The lady on bedrest opposite me delivered at exactly 26 weeks last sunday and baby is doing brilliantly, teeny babies are such little fighters so stay strong and keep positive. xx:hugs:

As for me, have still been bleeding on and off and have contractions every few days but not dilating yet and babycake is still cooking so thats a positive. On the downside, mri confirmed (as much as it can) that i have placenta previa and accreta which means it's grown into the muscle/scar tissue from previous c-sections. Consultant seemed quite certain i'll have to have a hysterectomy when they do this section to stop me bleeding uncontrolably.:cry: He also says its close to the bladder but in his words 'we can lop big lumps of that off and it heals relatively quickly, you'll just need a catheter for a couple of weeks....' hmmmm.
Soooo, not sure how i feel about that yet. I don't think i've really taken it in tbh. Although this will be our last baby anyway, kinda makes me sad to know i actually can't have any more. Just gotta hope and pray we get to keep this little one.
 
Nicola, glad you are doing okay, even though its sounds like a stressful situation:( Hope baby stays put as long as possible and that delivery will go smoothly.
