Do you know why she came early swan? My dd arrived early and no one could tell me why... I didn't have an infection, hadn't got cervical weakness, there was no obvious reason - some babies just come early... I even asked her in the end as no one else could give me a reason - ha! She looked at me like I was mad and just said she didn't know ;-)
I was really worried all pregnancy about another early baby, it's only natural, but I read that if your baby arrived later than 32 weeks the first time the chances of another preemie next time are lower than if you had an earlier preemie, if that makes sense, so chances are you will be ok and we will be on labour watch for you too in a few months!!!!
It's great that they're taking good care of you anyway, I had one consultant appt where they basically said - no reason for another early one and sent me on my way! Luckily it turned out that was the right thing to do ;-) I hope they don't freak you out anyway. My (professional - ha!) opinion would be to try and take everything as easy as poss over the next few months and keep stress levels low. I left work really early but I'm sure that helped me as I relaxed as soon as I was on maternity leave and - well - you know the rest!
Hugs xxx keep us posted after your appt.
Yes - ricschick - you must be close to popping?!!! X
apparently it is common and usually nothing to worry about but we have to see the gp tomorrow and then if they hear it/think it needs looking into we will get referred back to the paediatrician. I'm really shit scared as you can imagine - I love him so, so much and the thought of anything being wrong with his heart is completely terrifying... I'm trying to stay calm until we have seen the doctor anyway. And I have googled and it seems it is very common and he has no other symptoms of heart problems but still so worrying. Why is life never simple??!!
I want to avoid a hospital birth at all costs, and of course, want baby to just be healthy and ready. lol!
enjoy your newborn snuggles x
