OMG BROODY CONGRATULATIONS!

What a wonderful name and an excelling weight! Im so sorry things went to horribly though! Fingers crossed you heal well hun and get to go home soon.

Mizz it was 2 diff midwifes.. neither of them my usual one. no idea where she has been :S I hope shes back tomorrow! The first one apologized but the second one didn't. Oo bed rest sounds marvelous to me right now but i have sooo much to do i dont have time for it. I managed to squeeze in a nice 1 hour long bath with ds1 now just waiting for teen mom to come on MTV and then watching One Born Every Minute after that and then bed xx

Honestly I wouldn't be on it if it wasn't the last resort to saving this pregnancy... But I will do anything the docs recommend. It's complete bed rest too

I watch teen mom too lol and one born every minute, when it comes on my cable channel lol

 

[nov_mum]

Good luck Mizzpodd. Let us know how you get on. Cook that baby : )

 

[MizzPodd]

Thanks!
I went I hospital yesterday because of leaking watery fluid.I went in yesterday and they checked for contractions and leaking. Doc said I was fine and I still had plenty of fluid around baby he said its normal discharge but it was good for me to come in since it was watery and plus me having early labor dd2. Baby is fine . So today I have to go for my shot on my butt lol fun! And then get CBC because I have history of gestational thrombocytopenia with all pregnancies. If I have it again (which nurse already told me I probably do based on last platelet count, I won't have to worry about dvt being on bed rest because my blood will be so thin. If I don't have it then they will be giving me advice on how to prevent blood clots from being on bed rest for 4 months. I kinda hope I have the blood disorder agin just because I didn't have to worry about that with dd1. However, I can't get epidural but I'm fine with that because I've given natural births both times and want to do it again call me crazy lol

aawww fingers crossed the results come back how you want them hun. I couldnt imagine being stuck in bed form 4 months. Super mummy comes to mind. Im glad the liquid just turned out to be discharge.. so unnerving when you have fluid down there.

I have a midwife appointment in 2 hours, feeling a little nervous. Iv had a headache for 5 days and today its killing right behind my right eye and round the right side of my head, my hands and ankles have been swelling and last night i was so darn itchy!

hope you are having a good day xx

 

[MizzPodd]

Thank you I just think about how the baby will be in longer if I stay on bed rest and it motivates me... I miss my little girl tho; today's her second day of day care! She loves it but for me it's an adjustment. She's never been away from her mommy for more than a few hours...

Aww sweetie I hope it's not pre e getting outta control. Have you hydrated with water a lot?? I would be okay with maybe it being dehydration versus pre e... Update me and I really hope you have your midwife today

 

[sethsmummy]

I always drink loads hun, im constantly drinking water or diluting juice. awww my little one has just started pre-school too! but he did have 6 months last year where we put him in nursery twice a week so im used to it. Its turned into nap time for me lol. I was hoping when we got him home today he would nap but hes still wide awake and getting tired and grumpy! going to be getting him to walk the 30 mins to the midwifes :doh: xx

 

[MizzPodd]

Aww! I was hoping that's what it was tho I'm very happy you are hydrating but wanted the lesser of two evils for you lol
Hopefully the walk will help him stay calm? Or does that make him hyper?

 

[sethsmummy]

Hey hun that's me back from the midwife Wish i hadn't gone. My midwife doesn't think im going to make it to my section date at 39 weeks.

My blood pressure is back up after 2 weeks of being down im back to 156/86. Just looked at last weeks blood results and it shows i have a kind of anemia. She struggled to get babies HB but did find it for 1 minute before he moved again the little terror. She thinks i will be lucky to make it to around 37/38 weeks. Also found i have a UTI like i suspected and the other midwifes have not read the dip stick results right for the last 2 weeks as thats around how long iv had it! Iv got some anti-biotics to take until they get the results through xx

 

[MizzPodd]

Omg that's so aggravating about the results, they should know how important it is to get a pregnant woman on antibiotics is she has any type of infection. The idiots! They could cause you to go in early labor because of it! Oh goodness

I'm so glad your midwife is back with you and I hope she is the only one you see the rest of your pregnancy I'm so sorry about your bp being back up. Is it possible for you to be on some type of bed rest even if it is modified?? I do hope you get to at least 34 weeks! But I've read 32 weeks is similar to babies born at full term so don't worry I'm sure your baby will be great!!

 

[sethsmummy]

I think im going to have a mad week getting everything sorted then i can put myself on bed rest lol. I cant go before 35 weeks.. or thats my working anyway. if im anything under 35 weeks then baby gets transferred straight away to a hospital 90 miles away! Yeah my midwife looked shocked when i told her how long iv been having the pain for.

btw sorry i forgot to completely answer your question before.. walking makes little one more tired lol. he wanted to have a nap just before we left.. but he sat in his pushchair all the way there and back (i knew he was tired to took it just incase)

Congratulations Broody!!!

Im sorry that things turned scary for a little while but hopefully you will be out of hospital soon enjoying your family.

[MizzPodd]

Oh I understand! I was told at my last appointment that if baby comes before 34 weeks, automatic transfer to another hospital which is also 90 miles away I definitely understand y u need him to keep cooking. I want my baby to be old enough to stay at our local hospital too! It's not easy being away from the hospitals that are equipped with all nicu cases... But hopefully we both will have our little ones in the proper weeks!
I'm happy you will get some rest sweetie it's well deserved!

 

[sethsmummy]

yeah the midwife told me that 99% of pre 35 weekers get transferred straight away.. although if they are breathing by themselves they may stay. It just depends on the level of problems they are having. I could handle 36 weeks although with my track record baby would be very small since ds1 was 5lb 14 at 41 weeks. but at least id know he could stay in the same hospital as me. Fingers crossed for us all on this thread we get to decent weeks...

[MizzPodd]

Ditto! I hope we to our desired weeks baby power for everyone
