Wooohooo great news.
I am sure I have missed tons and not sure if anyone posted for me that I was back in the hospital again
I was admitted on Thursday night with the bleeding that I have had before. on Friday night I started getting tummy pains and thought it was IBS to start with. It became obvious it wasn't though so Iwas up all night on Saturday with contractions every 10 minutes.
The consultant (not mine but a lovely one on call) came to see me on Saturday morning and said obviously they wouldn't let me home as they couldn't risk me delivering at home. I had my steroids on Friday so they should have done some good for her lungs if she does come.
Because of the bleeding if anything happens they won't stop it because it could be dangerous. They gave me pethadine though as I had been up all night and also because it's a muscle relaxant so hopefully stops the contractions.
It did work but once it wore off the contractions came back and Saturday night they were every 5 minutes . The midwife over night wasn't nice and wouldnt' call the dr and wouldn't give me any more pethadine as apparently it wasn't written up.
The consultant saw me again in the morning and wrote up more pethadine for whenever the contractions started.
I had some more Sunday and yesterday but they have died back to every 20-30 minutes and are pretty mild now so hopefully it won't be anything to worry about.
I had my scan this morning and baby looks good. She is 2lb 7oz now so a fairly decent size for 27+4.
They are thinking it might be a bit before 35 weeks now but we'll have to see. I have another scan and see the consultant in two weeks.
Had my scan Yesterday at around noon, thankfully this time I only had to drink a 16 oz drink instead of 32-48 so my bladder wasn't bursting full! right away I was sent to the scanning room as soon as I got there and that's where it all began, she started scanning and didn't say a word to me said she had to do measurements, check for chromosomal abnormalities, blood flow, the kidneys and had to check and see why on the letter my doc sent it said to check his stomach as it appeared rarely large on the previous scan ( which is a down symptom) so for a long 30 minutes she didn't say a word to us
I started to panic, I had teary eyes and all of a sudden I asked what's wrong? does He only have 1 kidney? she answered: "yeah, that's my suspicion" and it was back to silence
omg! right then and there I felt like everything went down hill and started to think the worse.
Finally after he rescanned me he took his gloves off both him and the nurse where holding my babies pictures and then said, "well do you know why you are here" and I said yes the kidneys and apparently something about his stomach and he said "yes, well It appears he does only have one kidney but it is perfectly fine and functioning, we looked long and hard for any problems or abnormalities and couldn't find anything wrong with him" OMG PHEWWW I finally felt like I could breathe when he said that! so I said well is he ok, is he gonna live and doc said "yeah, he is more than ok he is a healthy little boy , everything seems right, and having one kidney is rare like being left handed but doesn't mean anything bad,it just makes him unique! so your baby is fine, also nothing is wrong with his belly" OMG I WAS SOOOO HAPPYFinally some answers and they were great news!!!!
ooh They also said he has beautiful bone structure and will be a very cute handsome baby
, I am so pleased, OH and I have been so worried all week . HE HAS NOTHING WRONG < NO DOWNS > NO ABNORMALITIES< nothing wrong!
Can't wait till our son is finally here!!!
