Hi ladies, how are you all doing?

I'm recovering well. Brodie is now 2 weeks and 2 days old now and he's doing brilliant!! I'm getting there slowly but surely. On triple iron therapy given I lost 2.7 litres of blood but I have colour in my cheeks today after spending the last 2 weeks looking and feeling like a ghost lol

Got taken off my BP meds too so it's all really positive

Xx

hi all,
Mind if i join you, bp is not high but i have proteins in my urine and DR says its preeclamsia, i had it with my son i had developed it @ 19 weeks last pregnancy this time i held off and got it at 29 weeks, hoping it can be managed for another 7 weeks, so i can at least make it to term and take home a baby this time around.

Hi ladies. Just checking in to see how you are all getting on. Seren is two weeks old on Saturday and I can't believe how quickly the time has flown by. She is such a star, eating well, growing well and starting to wake up to the world. It's her due date today! BP still up but sitting around 150/95 with the meds. It's high but less concerning now there is no baby involved. I am taking labetalol 200mgs twice a day but probably really need it three times a day but I keep forgetting. I will do a slow wean around 4-6 weeks and just reduce by 50mgs if BP tolerates it for three to four days, then reduce another 50mgs etc. That is what I have done in the past with success usually or I just extend the wean time. Nothing too quick as rebound hypertension obviously occurs and I have three other children under 4 so resting is not really a happening thing. I'm so pleased to see you hanging in there Sethsmummy and am crossing my fingers you get to your section date of very close to it : ) I see some of you still have a number of weeks to go and I hope you cook as long as you can. Will keep an eye on the posts and watch for news of your healthy little babies being brought in to the world.

aww so glad she is doing really well hun! Im glad your BP is slowly coming down too, fingers crossed the weaning from the tabs works ok for you! Thanks hun I'm not having as many problems now so maybe... just maybe i will get to the end without any major mishaps. BP was down last week and FX my blood results were all good. Im itching like mad again but not sure wether its anything or not. Im thinking my bp will be nice and low again today as im just chilling till i have to go out lol. Hopefully today i dont slip on the ice like the other day xxxx

Hi ladies... Very interesting last few days. Had my cervical length check appt. cervix had shortened and I was 1 cm dilated. I cme back that night becuz of pains in lower abdomen and back .... Monitored for hours pumped with fluids. Explained about preterm labor sent home. Next early morning went to get progesterone shot when three of my doctors informed me not eat or drink anything becuz they wanted to get a cerclauge.... Long story short they did one, and I'm recovering now. Just resting and takin some pain meds. Have appt next weeks with specialist... Oh goodness what an overwhelming unexpected turn of events. The spinal didn't even fully numb me so I could feel the procedure. It was very painful but I had a feeling the epidural wouldn't fully worked (happened with my mom lol). Anywho I took it like a trooper. During recovery I was having terrible contractions and it was mainly becuz I couldn't pee! My bladder was completely full but the numbing affect wouldn't wear off... So 6 hours later right when they were putting a catheter in I just started peeing right there in bed!! Lol it was awkward lol I peed for at least an hour... That's how much my bladder had filled. And the contractions went away almost instantly! They have me the meds to help prevent contractions along with pain meds.
My baby has been kicking me in the bladder and right on the middle ever since I emptied my bladder last night... I mean non stop. Lol so it is an uncomfortable sensation but I'm so glad everything turned out good. I had not expected this at all and I was so happy I didn't eat an early breakfast. It was like I knew they would operate that day lol

They will remove stitches at 36 weeks. I really pray this works and I end up going that long! I'm on my same bedrest so I feel confident this cerclauge will help me out a lot. I'm so thankful of my doctors becuz they moved so quickly and didn't want risk me dilating more or my cervix shortening more. I've never been in a hospital that every department is nice and kind. My experience was amazing as far as bedside manners goes. Before operation I had to get these heart tests becuz of my heart condition and my platelets checked because of me having gestation thrombocytopenia.... But everything was a go
I'm officially with the IC ladies but I'm proud! Lol I have a cerclauge to help and I'm confident that it will get me to the 30 weeks at least

Have a great weekend girls

Congrats sethsmummy on your assessment my bp was stable during this while last few days of craziness too!

No news is good news on this thread hehe xx

 

[sethsmummy]

MizzPodd im glad it all went well hun! sorry iv not replied sooner its only just shown that theres been a comment on the thread

I'm still doing good.. well on the BP side of things anyway. Iv been getting period type cramps and lower back pain along with diarrhea and now to top that off baby only moved twice yesterday and only once so far this morning. He has till around 11am and then im calling the midwife to see what she thinks. This is the second time he has done this the little monkey. But it was the same with DS1.. i was in and out for reduced movements from this stage onwards.

 

[MizzPodd]

Awww it's okay... I figured you were busy

But that is great you are almost 34 weeks! How exciting especially with a good bp and clear urine. Full term is right around the corner for you!!!

AFM: I'm 24 weeks today ladies!!! Omg I feel so blessed to have come this far. Next goal is 28 weeks! Have appt this Thursday with specialist. I pray this cerclauge keeps holding together. I've never been so serious about bedrest. I make sure I rest all day

Hope everyone else is doing good

 

[sethsmummy]

OMG WOOT FOR V DAY!!! so happy for you hun!! I know its 5 weeks today for me then i will be holding my little man!

I got him checked out today and she did bp etc at the same time and all is still good x
