Hi ladies a bit of advice what's your opinion on the steroid injections to help the lungs? With my first he didn't have them as I was induced and pregnancy was ok to a point he was 36+5 spent 13 days in hospital but wasn't too bad just a little bit of help wih breathing. I had a planned section with esmae at 36+6 and had the steriod injection . But when esmae came out she came out and became floppy and ended up having the ventilator breathe for her and was worse than cal. This time around I really don't know if I want to have it again if it caused more trouble. I know it might not of but I don't want this baby being as bad xx

I had them at 29 weeks I think because they knew she would come early to help her lungs but I wasn't that early when I had her. I might just have to mention it the further along I get xx I was carrying a lot of fluid but I don't think that would of made a biff difference . Xx
I am hoping I make it to 36 weeks, then 37!

Just discovered we're expecting again and I'm terrified. We were being careful and I'm in no way ready for this. Last time was a 28+0 delivery due to severe pre-e and HELLP, I've been told I've got a greater than 90% chance of going the same route this time. I'm so happy as a family of 3 at the moment I can't imagine spending the next year of our lives in hospitals again. I've been crying all night which makes me feel like a terrible person because I should be happy, our daughter brings us so, so much joy and I'm sure this baby will do the same, but I'm not ready for this. Hoping ladies in here will understand where I don't think anyone else will.
Congrats on your Christmas bundle Kate! What a special present.
Dinah I remember you from a bp thread. Congratulations on your pregnancy. I know it's scary and difficult to get excited but you will be treated differently knowin what's happened and you'll be at appointments more than your at home ha ha. That's what it felt like with ds.
I'm 12+3 with this little one. So far enjoying it more than last time but the nerves and anxiety will always be there. I think it's more the unknown that I feel nervous about.

I had my baby boy on Saturday after 3 hours of natural labor. He was born at 38.5 weeks and weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces and measured 20 inches. It felt so nice having him in my room with me the entire time and being able to leave the hospital with him!

That's so nice. Big congratulations x
