doctor was happy not to do blood transfusion and wait and see how she is on next ward round at 8pm tonight,.
theyve given her antibitoics whilst they wait for blood tests to come back in 48 hours as a precation and shes on eye drops for an eye infection shes had for 3WEEKS n its only just came back now that shes got one as each time they were given her a test one was saying she did have it then the next one was saying she diddnt not very happy at the moment but as long as summer is ok for now thats the main thing xxx

Hi there sorry new to this thread unfortunatly..
ive been going for grwoth scans every 2 weeks due to baby being small..however i went there yesterday alone as i thought it was jsut another scan only to be told baby is very small im 25 weeks and few days..so they wanting to take baby out as they say its gona have beta chance outside of me than in as the placenta isnt working properly and the blood flow from umbilical cord isnt doing its job properly...
How can they do this surely my baby needs to be inside,,
i have to go back next tuesday for another scan to check blood flow then they will discuss the timing of taking steriods but they said delivery will be more than likely before im 29 weeks...im soo upset and cant help but think my baby is going to die,,
the consultant said please be aware that this baby may not survive but we will do out best so dont wurry...i mean how can i not wurry i hope somone else is going through the same thing or has been through it so that i can have some advice i have 2 other healthy happy 37 weeks carried children who were quite small but otherwise healthy (

I went through practically the same as you, reading your story was like a mirror of my situation. The only difference was that my waters broke, on the day of my 24 week scan and i was kept in hospital, given steroids etc. I had her one week later and that was 7 weeks ago. I think if she stayed in she would've probaby died because she was the weight of a 22-23 weeker and not getting the proper nutrients. The docs said they were gonna try and get her to 28 weeks then they were going to induce me, she didnt wait that long to come out but she is doing okay with ups and downs but truly a blessing. If they think inducing you is the best option, then do it because in most cases they know what they are doing and they will not knowingly do anything to jeopardise you or the baby's health. Good luck.
