Thanks for those who asked after me
I went away to my Dads for Christmas and on the 29th I started having bleeding and pains so was readmitted to the hospital
This time it didn't settle so quickly so I have been in from then till now. 16 LONG days.
Basically they have just been monitoring me and giving me pain relief. One night it was really bad and I had to go to Delivery suite so they could monitor me constantly and give me pethadine.
I had a scan done a couple of days after I went in which showed her to be 3lb 4.
Yesterday they did another scan which showed that her fluid is now subsstantially reduced to what it was 2 weeks ago.
Then the AFI (amniotic fluid index) was 12.9 and now it is 8.
Obviously that is a large drop in a small time. With Jessica they scanned me just before 34 weeks and saw it was 9, when they scanned the next week it was 4 and they induced.
So obviously I am a bit worried this is going the same way.
I have to go back to the hospital on Wednesday morning to have an indepth scan to check fluid but also the blood floor etc through the cord and placenta since fluid disapppearing like that can be a sign that the placenta isn't working so well.
That is at 9:30, then at 12:30 I have to go to day assessment for a trace (nothing like hanging around for a few hours hey?) and then wait another couple of hours for the consultant to tell me how things are and what they are going to do.
Normally fluid levels come back up even when they have been low so that's what I am hoping for but obviously not what happened in my experience last time.
She now weighs 3lb 14oz and I got a very cute picture of her looking directly at the screen.
So now I want to get my hospital bags packed so that if she does have to come sooner than planned that is all ready.
Oh and I had a show last week too so was a bit worried but seems that it's not come to anything.
