Congrats girls!! I have 11 days until I am officially further along than I was when I delivered my first My BP has been perfect so far. I have had some headaches and dizziness, but my doctor things it is due to my allergies as they have been horrible this year. I haven't been swelling at all either! Here's to hoping!!!

Congrats to all 3 of you and you mizzpod for making it all this way!

having a bit of a low weepy feeling day my SPD is really sore today for the first time I had to use the crutches and to be honest felt stupid. Can't control my sugars at all anymore despite the insulin and feel like I have cut out so much already what sort of life is this! I shouldn't complain I know its only temporary just wanna curl up in a ball til the baby comes. As terrible as it sounds I really don't enjoy pregnancy at all maybe different if things went smoothly but they never do. This is a new low for me my medication is less than halved and really could be doing with increasing it again before depression gets the better of me again but must try persevere I suppose. Rant over lol........

Hope everyone else if feeling brighter than me today xx

 

[sethsmummy]

bumpsmum i am sending you the HUGEST hug ever

As much as its "only temporary" it doesnt feel that way at the time so im sure everyone will understand

MizzPodd: OH MY GOSH!! GO YOU! I cant believe you have made it this far!!! AMAZING!!

I hope you are all doing ok apart from the obvious. Sorry i have been MIA my laptop charger died on me and the new one only just come this morning. Ethan is doing well BUT we have hit a bad point... he got upto 9lb 8oz last tuesday.. the health visitor came out to weigh him again on Tuesday AND he lost 1oz! So he has dropped a centile in his red book. If hes not put weight on by Wednesday then its a referal upto the hospital. Back to see Seth's old specialst lol xx

 

[sethsmummy]

i had pre-eclampsia at 36 weeks with my little boy luckily they caught it on time and was only mild.. so scared incase i get it earlier on with the next pregnancy whenever that is

 

[MizzPodd]

Sorry!! i thought i posted in here too!!
this is from last friday: Soooooo my stitch was removed this morning after going in because of contractions since 3am. They said they wanted to take it out because I was contracting way too much and they don't want cervix ripped!! Omg very scary day tho as my platelets are chronically low and they had to so spinal tap with me being at a high risk. But everything went well and I'm 1cm and 75% effaced! Yeah this baby will be here within two weeks or less. Will explain more but I'm pooped. Been up since 3 and just now getting home. I pray I don't have the scary side effects of te spinal!! But I still have to wait til 36 weeks to get off bed rest lol that's four days away...

 

[MizzPodd]

This one is from Saturday:
AFM- still nervous about spinal tap effects. Legs have been okay, had a few feeling of that falling to sleep feeling and I'm probably having to call because the doctors really want me going in for any side effects. Worried about spinal hematoma this is the stuff that makes me want to just count my blessings and let this be our last child. Each pregnancy gets more risky and dangerous for me. At this point if I needed a c section, I would probably need transfusion because of how low my platelets are. But I'm so optimistic that I will push this baby out! With dd1 I was in active labor for 50 minutes 5 to 10cm that quick so all my nurses said I will probably go even quicker. I have to haul ass when I start labor if I'm at home when it happens lol
Honestly I have been contracting for so long, it feels like labor ing for months I'm exhausted from it all, but I just am sooooo happy that he or she is still cooking and doing amazing
But yeah hubby and I discussed it and he is happy with this being our last too. I want to be around for my kids and not risk my life trying again. Hope that doesn't sound too selfish :/
Been pregnant for pretty much 18 months total with 6 weeks break in between.... My body needs a loooong break. If my angel had survived, I would not be preggo so quickly after but I guess with life anything can happen so we just have to learn to adapt and adjust.

 

[MizzPodd]

This is from Monday:
AFM contractions becoming more intense and lots of lower pressure. I also started losing my plug yesterday an have had like 7 poops in one day Lmao TMI
I have appt tomorrow so I will ask her to check my cervix and do a trans ultrasound because in surgery the doc cut the knots on the stitch but said she couldn't get them out. I need to know what is still there and a more detailed explanation about when they will take it allll out and what not. My doc tomorrow is who put it in so I know she will look at it and see where to go. She was supposed to take it out tomorrow but of course my body contracted too much so it had to be taken out last week.
After they removed it remember I was 75 effaced 1cm and -2 station. I think it's progressed just because of how I've been feeling (happened a week before I delivered dd1) so I'm in familar territory finally!! But I lost my show all at once then my water broke a couple hours later so losing it slowly this time is soooo weird lol

 

[MizzPodd]

And this is from yesterday:
So had appointment and........ Drum roll..... Officially OFF bedrest!!!!!! Omg you don't know how good it feels! Since I was 18 weeks strict bed rest and now I'm allowed to do normal activities! Stitch is out and I'm 36 weeks had shots and doc said they r still in effect if I deliver this week! I am soooo happy!!!! Oh and I dilated another centimeter since Friday :-0 and that was on bedrest doing nothing Lol
Yeah it's only a matter of time in my opinion until I go!
I can have SEX!!! Lol trust me I neeeed it an dh does too lol I was 8 weeks preggos last time we were allowed to so that was last year in sept/oct! I will be having a good week
Sorry for the long explanation but I'm just so excited after everything we've been through. I'm only worried about platelets because I forgot to ask about plan of care if I needed a c sect for some crazy reason. With me, anything goes lol ill ask at my next week appt. ( you all know I talk alot by now lol)

oh my gosh i swear down i am so excited for you! it could literally be any day now

Ethan is doing great thanks hun.. we have finally found a milk that agrees with him (Hipp Organic Combiotic) so he now poos every day... BUT he has started being sick a lot. So instead of pestering the gp im going to buy some baby rice and thicken each feed with that to see if it helps. He failed to put weight on last week so we were worried... but he put on this week.. not 9lb 15oz!! yey

its amazing having 2 now i love them to bits.. couldnt imagine life without them. Im a mean mummy soon though as seth has his MMR booster this friday.. and then Ethan has his 1st shots next friday and every 4 weeks after that till he is 4 months old. poor bubbs! x
