SCAN DAY - eeeeeek!

Baby was pretty quiet yesterday and I was starting to panic. Panic over as he/she kept me awake all night kicking away! That's the first time I've felt it at night - I hope this isn't bad habits creeping in early little one!

Will update later with scan news - its not until 3.30pm.

Happy Monday everyone.

Morning Girls

TribleB everything will b just fine - get used to night time kicking - babies are supposed to be most active between 8pm and 1 am = mine is more like 10pm and 3am!

 

[MadamRose]

Triple im sure the scan will be jsut fine

i went to parent education course yesterday with DH all about active birth, pain management and early parenting. Now im scaredd abouu the birth i knew it wouldn't be long. The way shw described some of the pain sounds awful but im glad she was honest some of the pain sounds horrible but worth it. I just wanna meet Chloe now.
I've got exactly 1month/30days until due date Its mad to think its now just 9days until im term
How is everyone?

 

[KimmyB]

[MadamRose]

Morning girls, hope you all had a nice weekend.

Had to see my little girl off to school this morning, house is SO quiet lol.

Off to see consultant again today im worried over slight headaches and blurred vision im getting dont think its baby related but wanna get em to check my BP, think it is my eyesight, hubby thinks im dehydrated which does make some sense as when i have a huge glass of water i do feel better !

Nothing else exciting to report !

Good luck Triple with scan today, all will be fine im sure xxx

I'm back and everything is just perfect! We were in and out in 15 mins, baby behaved beautifully, all measurements were spot-on and we even got a wave and a few hiccups! Placenta is posterior and high and he/she is cephalic at the moment (these were my two stupid worries as I know they can change from here on in). I am so so happy!

Still on team yellow. I think it looks like a girl, hubby thinks boy - 18 weeks until we find out!

Hope you got on ok today fluffy.

Pic is in my avatar but here's another for good measure!

Enjoy the peace and quiet Fluffy

My LO is active at night too - I only know about it if when I do my regular middle of the night wake ups but I don't think it wakes me up - just doesn't help me drop off being all very exciting

Try not to think about the pain Due edging ever closer - how exciting!!

I am v tired ( surprisingly !!!!!!!! ) and not getting anywhere with the housework.

Hi girls

Glad everything is ok Triple scan pics are great.

Well here goes, after 3 hours wait and sitting beside every nationality going, one asian lady in a burkha had 8 yes 8 friends with her all in burkhas was mental ! I am not a racist but god I hate those things and specially when they dont have the respect to let the pregnant ladies sit down either - a midwife had to tell them to wait outside !

Anyway i have been put on a plan of a possible premature birth. I am being scanned at 24, 28, 32 and 36 weeks with 95% chance of him being delivered at 36 weeks due to my placenta position and blood clotting disorder. Baby is measuring fine but apparently its about now that IGUR develops and they want to keep an eye on me.

Secondly I am a higher risk of "uterine arterry notching" which can result in premature birth so she is 99% certain I will be C-sectioned at Christmas !

Now bearing in mind this is only a symptom of APS but puts me at a higher risk of having a higher scale reading. I have a Artery Scan on 29th September and a follow up with Consultant on 4th October.

So i am cacking my pants ! I may have it I may not who knows, Part of me just wants to say forget it and leave me alone and part of me wants the scan I am so scared. I asked why me, she said its not that there is any evidence that you have what we are saying is Professor Quenby likes to do this as part of the "plan" for women who are on Clexane.

So from this I have gathered that it may happen or it may not, just like I could have been a high risk for Downs but i wasnt (does that make sense) but its just more worry !

Why me

sweetheart - the next 20ish weeks are going to be scary and stressfull but at least they are keeping a lovely close eye on you, so they can be ready for any event - sending hugs

 

[TripleB]

Crikey fluffy, that's a lot you've had to take in today. Sounds like they are taking the cautious approach which unfortunately would make anyone worry but at least you are getting proper care. Your little boy is a fighter (has been from the start) and I've got every confidence you'll have him in your arms with a cheeky smile on his face at the time he's destined to appear. xxx

 

[debgreasby]

fluffy .... at least they have a "plan"

 

[hb1]

Fluffy - like the other ladies say - at least you will be monitored.

[Beadette]

Hugs to you Fluffy - what a stressful day you've had! I echo wha he others say about them having a plan but I know ou probably feel like it's one thing after another so I'm sending you big fat loves x x x

 

[Tulip]

Heather the girls are right, they've got it all under control babes xxx

 

[fluffyblue]

Thanks girls, I know its only a maybe that there is something wrong but its just another wait and another worry I know it will all be worth it but its so hard.

I can cope with the placental problems because I can impact that by resting not lifting etc and actually would be pleased not to go beyond 36 weeks ! But its all the other worrying things. I know loads of girls get told these things everyday but its so hard when its you. The ironic thing is I know people who have had very serious clotting problems etc and not been offered this scan so why have i with a sceptical haemotologist been told this.

I just want to get to 24 weeks then at least i know any day week hour beyond that they will do what they can for him. I know i seem like im talking worse case scenario but i feel like that at the min, doesnt help with Noel asking me if im ok every 5 mins and when do I think he should ask for bloody paternity leave, I snapped before and told him anytime in the next fucking 15 weeks !! I know I shouldnt but it feels like pants !

One good thing is Rachel my miscarriage midwife has given me her mobile number to ring anytime of day and she has said I can go up and see her and speak to the fetal medicine team at anytime if I need to x

At least they're checking everything out for you Fluffy.
I'd rather have paranoid people taking care of me than anything else.

Hope you feel a little more relaxed soon.
