We made the trimesters pass quickly!

Good morning ladies! How are you today?

 

[Mummy to be x]

That's strange UB! Ring them up and ask why they're doing that

Morning kiwi. How is baby Riya doing??? X

 

[Kiwiberry]

She is doing good!

They found a grade 1 hemorrhage in the right side of her brain when they did the ultrasound last night. They said its nothing to really worry about and that it usually corrects itself with no damage to her brain. They will be monitoring it and doing another ultrasound when she gets a little older. They said the spot the radiologist saw could have gone either way since it was so tiny. They told me it usually happens with preemie babies and even full term babies as a side effect of being born vaginally. I am still worried as per usual, but I am going to trust in their judgement when taking care of my baby. As they seem to know a lot more than I do (obviously lol). The left side of her brain they said looks completely normal. They also mentioned that she has no symptoms of a hemorrhage which is a good sign.

I GET TO HOLD HER TOMORROW!!!!

Afternoon Kiwi, I'm good thank you. Glad you and Riya are okay! x

 

[Mummy to be x]

[Mummy to be x]

I know I almost didn't recognise the thread can't believe how time is flying.

Have any of you ladies started buying things for your hospital bag yet x

 

[ab75]

I've got pj's, maternity pads, breast pads. Cotton wool, nappies and little clothes for Owen and thats about it. Not planning on packing much else, apart from toiletries xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Ive not got anything yet lol. X

 

[Carlyp1990]

Hi ladies,
Hope your little ones are feeling better soon
Kiwi im glad they don't think there's anything to worry about with riya! Enjoy holding her tomorrow xx

I'm still feeling awful today spent most of the day lounging about and sleeping.
So far I've bought breast pads for my hospital bag but im planning on getting maternity pads and a nightie this week when I go to asda for my shopping xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

I'm having one of those days Carly, took me ages to get off the sofa to cook Madeleine some food lol x

 

[ab75]

I'm glad I'm not the only one like that. Feel guilty as I haven't done anything with the girls but I feel awful x

 

[Mummy to be x]

I do too ab, I've got quite stressed at times with been stuck in all day, I'm definitely getting out tomorrow x

 

[ab75]

Quite stressed. Just as well my bp got checked yesterday and not today! ! These 2 have been a total nightmare, not done a thing they have been told. Feel like I have spent the whole day shouting at them. RLP is agony with coughing. I can't wait til bedtime xx

 

[Kiwiberry]

I hope you ladies have tons of fun getting those hospital bags ready!

I actually underestimated how many nursing pads I would need..... Today I am going to get more thats for sure lol. I actually had to double up on the ones I currently have and only 4 cam in a package. I am such a dumb dumb sometimes lol.

I should probably add about Riya, that they only "suspect" a grade 1 hemorrhage. They said that it could go either way meaning it could just a normal spot in her brain or it could be a hemorrhage. Here is to hoping its nothing!

 

[Carlyp1990]

Luckily katie had nursery this morning so at least she's been occupied and then my mum has been babysitting my niece so they came round when katie got home so iv only had to entertain her from 3pm lol. We did colouring then a jigsaw then curious george saved the day again its so hard to keep them happy when we have zero energy isnt it? Luckily oh is off work tomorrow so he can help! xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Fx'd for baby Riya kiwi. X

Ugh yes it is so hard to entertain them, madeleines made such a mess and I really can't be bothered to tell her to clean up because it's keeping her quiet right now

 

[ab75]

Hope Riya is ok Kiwi. Enjoy your cuddles tomorrow xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Aww yeah hope you enjoy your cuddles! (obviously will )

I feel soooo thirsty tonight, I feel like I want to just down lots of fizzy things x

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

Hey ladies, it always takes me so long to read and catch up.
Kiwi, glad Riya is doing well and gained some weight. Praying the spot is nothing to worry about.
Ladies, I hope your sick little ones get better soon and you too Carly.

Last Wednesday I had my exam with the Dentist, and after wards had pain all the rest of the week. So on Monday, I ended up having my wisdom out and got to camp out on the sofa for 2 days. That was lovely. Then today my Dr's office called to tell me that starting at 32 weeks, I have to have weekly ultrasounds and growth checks until baby is born. I swear sometimes I think they just want to get as much money from my insurance co as possible. 2 weeks ago my dr had me do a 24 hour urine test because she wanted to check my kidneys. But when the nurse called with my results, she told me the doctor wanted to see if I was having blood pressure problems. Of course everything keeps coming back normal. I feel like she wants something to go wrong.
