Hmm so bit of a scare this eve, suddenly called back to ward because apparently bloods showed up antibodies - which hadn't been an issue at 28 week screening - so had to go back for more bloodwork. Looking into it via google, seems baby - or placenta - might have had some sort of bleed in order for the types to cross, I dunno how it all works. Anyway it's taken the edge off an otherwise perfectly great day as now I dunno why there's been this bleed, how long ago it happened, or whether it might have affected baby.

@Bittersweet
I had a 2nd degree tear with my first outch. Glad ure settling in nicely at home and little lady is doing well.
As regards to who is next.
I think maybe @MadamRose looking at that monitor and then @LoneWanderer.
Think @Neversayno will be after them and then maybe me unless any of the other babies surprise us early.
I'm being induced around 37 weeks so not this weekend but next. Just waiting for my date which I'm hopefully getting on Wednesday.
@atx614
Te he I think @Neversayno will go b4 me because her section is 30th August I think. My induction should be around the 4th September.
Unless of course my baby decides to make a early appearance b4 my induction but I very much dought that lol.

@LoneWanderer oh man, I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ve never heard of that either so not sure what it means. I’m sure baby will be just fine! If he’s been healthy in your scans since then!
@MadamRose hoping those contractions turned into labor!! She’s been quiet so I am hopeful for her.
@Catmumof4 yay for
September 24! I will be induced that week too, just not sure if date yet. Hoping they will tell me at my appointment tomorrow but they usually don’t until 36 weeks unfortunately.
@Suggerhoney yes! I’ve been feeling in limbo lately. Like the end of the pregnancy is near but still so far off. And bored cause I can’t go anywhere or eat anything good lol

@atx614 I was actually gonna say I feel in limbo so it's funny u feel the same. Maybe when we both have our dates we will feel better. Hope we both get our dates tomorrow.
It's 36 weeks at my hospital top and most hospitals here in the UK but some get there's earlier. Not sure why they have left me hanging tho esp being high risk. I wasn't gonna get my date untill next Wednesday 1st September at 36+4 weeks which I thought was ridiculous considering induction has been requested for 37 weeks. May still have to wait untill next week if they don't give me my date tomorrow. But really hoping they just give it me tomorrow. I'll be 35+4 weeks so practically 36 weeks anyway via 2 days.
I really think that's why I have that limbo feeling because even tho I know its gonna be around 37 weeks the not having a date just makes u feel that way.
Yes @MadamRose has gone very quiet. I think that was her labour starting. I really hope we here from her soon and she is ok. And she has had baby.
@LoneWanderer
How's u today hon?

I had the weirdest sleep last night ...I felt like I had loads and loads of really bizarre vivid dreams, but now I can't remember a single one of them! Odd! Probably all the bournville fingers I ate before bed
Excited to hear news from all those that have gone quiet, it's such a little rollercoaster of emotions on here at the moment. I'm with the ones who are finding time seems to have slowed to a stop! But at the same time, I'm going ️ on Thursday and haven't even started packing! ...planned to start yesterday, but toddler is either teething or poorly, I can't decide which, and is very very clingy, so packing is not easy!

Oh gosh Zo. My dreams lately have been so so vivid. I had a really horrible dream the other night which I've not mentioned to anyone abs I haven't looked up the meaning because it was so horrible it scares me.
But I had a dream that one of my friends 18 year old son hung himself on a coach in the middle walk way section.
It was so horrible.
I had a dream about either me being stabbed or someone else too.
I thought maybe it was down to eating cheese late at night.
Like I don't even want to look at the meaning hon I'm to scared..
What if it means something bad is gonna happen.
Just can't look into things like that so close to birth.
Just hope my Induction goes really well and baby is healthy and the dream has no reference on that.
Cud be the cheese. I've not had it for a few nights and although my dreams are still vivid there not scary.
Last night I dreamt I went away on holiday with Liam and Milly from Love Island lol.
Don't mind dreams like that.
@LoneWanderer and @MadamRose have gone very quite I hope there both OK.

I'm here lurking, just waiting for a call back from midwife to chat through these blood results and what it all means, so nothing else to report at moment.
Checked bags, tidied up, defrosted the freezer and currently waiting for Iceland delivery to fill it back up, and then I think we're all set for baby and beyond.

Right so finally some answers...
...so antibody found is something called anti-JKa, apparently it could be due to mum-baby transfusion (like a tear in placenta or something) but it could also just be naturally occurring, like an allergy response or something.
In very rare circumstances it can lead to my cells attacking baby, causing some sort of blood disease thing which can be v serious, but odds are the effects would be mild and he'd just have jaundice and/or anaemia which is treatable, obvs. And there's a chance that it hasn't even crossed placenta anyway, just something I've picked up randomly. So, it's a small worry but very much reassured now. Besides, he's coming in what, like 20 hours anyway so even if there is an issue he will be out and treated for it ASAP.

@LoneWanderer sounds reassuring...pregnancy is so stressful isn't it?! I feel like every corner you turn they introduce you to something that could go wrong!

Hi all,
I thought I’d join you!
I’m 36+3 today and have been admitted to hospital since yesterday.
I went for a routine Doppler scan yesterday lunchtime to discover that baby has low fluid around him (6.5cm) compared to a scan 3 days previous which was at almost 19cm.
They examined me and swabbed and the amniotic fluid test was negative, however I feel like I have been trickling throughout the day but the test was negative so a mystery on where it’s gone.
As I’ve already been back and forth for monitoring and scans for reduced movements they are keeping me in and doing another scan today alongside 6 hourly monitoring.
Babies movements are now painful and really really odd I’ve never known anything like it, could that be because his fluid is low? I’m baffled to how he’s ended up with fluid below tje 5th centile when 3 days earlier it was between the 50th and 95th! May I add all ctgs seem lovely
Has anyone been in a similar situation ?
Xx

@Holmarie12 welcome! Hm that’s weird. It seems like the fluid would be leaking to get that low that quickly. I hope they keep you and monitor you frequently since your fluid is so low. You are so close to 37 weeks!
@LoneWanderer in glad it is likely not serious. And he will be out so soon so you’ll know.
@Zoboe95 my dreams were very vivid in the first tri but not so much since then. But I have had a few nightmares here and there that seem so real.
Thinking of you @MadamRose !!
I am heading to my appt in an hour. It’s just a check up, no scan or anything exciting though. After this all my appts will have scans to check the growth
