[sethsmummy]

[bumpsmum]

you'd expect that if he was BF but he's not his
sugars were initially really low and not picking up when on the breast so
changed him to the bottle x

Gkad his sugars are behaving now. My eldest was bottle fed feom word go. Little ethan onky goes 3 hours through theday just now. But its an improvement from 2 hours wih ds1.although I must say roll on 6 months when I stop steralising everything lol. I only have 4 bottles so feels like im endlessly washing and making. Xxx

they obviously never used those words but that's the truth

My worry is that I felt perfectly fine the entire time

It was picked up on a routine appointment at 35 weeks, hospitalised from 36 weeks, induction started at 37+1 then finally had drip and ARM at 38 weeks as propess and three sweeps didn't shift him

lol you know it wouldnt surprise me if hey had.... some midwifes and consultants have no tact at all. Although theyr are some nice ones... my midwife with ds2 never mentioned my weight!

That was the same with me hun, I didnt even know I had it... or that it was the reason I was induced...although I was 40+6 when I was induced. Iv no clue when mine was picked up as I only found out id actually had it when ds1 was 1 year old and my gynae asked the hospital for some info on my birth.

Fingers crossed you can kick pre es ass this time round hun xx

I'd only gone for a growth scan as there wasn't any growth on the fundal measurement and I had ++ protein and BP was 140/96 or there abouts. Took it a further two times and admitted me overnight

Had a week of appointments to attend because of the raised BP, had a slight headache on the following Saturday so used parents BP monitor and was 150/114 went to triage and they kept me in until I had the little man. Two lots of 24 hour urine collections, two lots of propess, three sweeps and a threatened IOL at 36+4 and he still doesn't budge

Due to my history of losses, I was a very nervous patient and insisted they tell me everything and if I was t happy with anything, I'd speak to another MW or ask to see the consultant on ward round the following morning

I just hope I don't get it again. Mainly because I don't want to be in hospital and leave my boy

just passing thru.......my times flown lol new baby, new house it's been a whirlwind few months. Wee Adam is now 11 weeks old now and just dreamy. Such a pleasant novelty having a full term baby, Daniel (baby no2 who was 10 weeks early) has the neo natal team for a development check up next week I just can't believe Adam doesn't need to jump through all those extra hoops.

At last weigh in last week he was a whopping 9lb 14 ( considering how petite his brothers were this is massive lol) although he is quite Colicy.......thank god for Colief he is doing so well and amazing us every day do bright and alert, cooing, smiling and laughing away already.......and his
muscle control blows me away. He'll be up and going to Uni before I know it that one lol

How's all the other wee baby's getting on? Little Ethan must be hitting 6 months soon eh? x

My gosh hun its going so quick! And what a good weight! Ethan was weighed at 22 weeks and was 14lb 10oz. Im glad your doing well!

and your right ethan is almost 6 months old and such a heeky little monkey! Ts so nice having a normal size baby isnt it! No extra appointments to attend woop woop

seth has been discharged from gp for his weight issues now and we are seeing another team of people who has given us a preliminary diagnosis of possible autism. Hes being reffered for an official diagnosis asap. But he has started talking now too which is so amazing xx

 

[sethsmummy]

ladies how are you all doing? xxx

 

[Dinah93]

New here, been following a long time as I needed hope my next pregnancy might go better, and you ladies have certainly given me that. Now 6 weeks with #2, when I fell pregnant with DD my bp rocketed straight away by about 30 points, this time its dropped 20, really odd. So currently unmedicated and long may it continue!

Congratulations on your pregnancy hun and thats a fantastic start too! Fingers crossed things stay that way! Xxx

 

[Dinah93]

Urgh. Only 7 weeks and its already rising, up to 139/95 today so started on labetalol 100mg 2x a day, with the encouraging words 'I'm sure you'll be maxed out on this before long'.

 

[Neversaynever]

Ah Dinah that sucks ass

Hoping the meds work for you and baby



My BP is rising slowly but at least I'm almost done

XxX

 

[W8ing4ours]

Hi ladies, sorry bp is going up Dinah, my dr just increased my bp meds again yesterday too, she just started me on methyldopa 250mg 3 times a day about 2 weeks ago when I had my first high reading this pregnancy, today she increased to 500mg 3 xs a day. My bp while laying down tonight is consistently at or above 165/105, last reading was 181/107, ugh. i know I'm borderline should bring myself to the hospital tonight, I just hate that this is happening again, here we go... Didn't get pre-e until week 36 with my first pregnancy, so far all labs are essentially normal and protein has only been trace to .30. Anyhow, just wanted to say hi and send

 

[Dinah93]

That's rubbish w8ing4ours. Did you have fairly slow developing pre-e last time? I'd go down and get them to up the tablets, I left it too long last time and it pottered at over 130/110 for about 3 weeks really, when pre-e did hit I went from trace to +4 in 5 days. This time I won't let them fob me off with seeing how it goes for weeks on end until my body just fails.

 

[W8ing4ours]

Last pregnancy I got my first high blood pressure reading at 29 weeks and didn't get pre-e until week 36. Just hoping I can make it that far this time. I have been doing protein strips at home and they have risen from trace to consistently showing .3, but have yet to see the next mark of +1. No other news tonight, thankful for another day today, hope you're having a good night

This is a brilliant thread ladies. I'm starting IVF and having 2 embryos put back in and this is my biggest worry. I got severe pre- eclampsia with my daughter but I was lucky enough for it to happen on my due date. My bp was 170/210 and it came on in hours!
