Thank you so much everyone, for all your information and support.
Deb, I hope I can show you one day how much I appreciate all your help and love. All that stuff about playing music etc is just what I wanted to hear. I was telling DH today how much I want to be there for this baby, and help him/her on it's journey. I need to know the ways that we can be involved, I want to be as involved as I possibly can through the time in NICU/SCN. This is OUR baby, I want it to know from the start that we are there, and how much we love it. So ALL of your info is so helpful.
Rivlas, thank you so much for the offer, I will remember that .
Sally, you know, I thought of you on Friday night. How you'd had two premmies, and what different journeys they'd had. Thanks for your support hun.
Beema, thanks for all your info . We went and had a look at SCN in our private hospital today, spoke to a nurse, and the parents of triplets (they were the smallest babies in there ATM, and still not as small as ours). I'm sure bub will go to NICU in the tertiary hospital if born now (same building). But it was still helpful to see where we'll end up......or hopefully start!
Kate, thanks hun, we won't be baby buddies, but I'm still following your pg and can't wait to see your BA.
Squidipa, I thought of you too hun. I hope things go well for you tomorrow, I was telling DH about you today, he felt so sad for you having all this stress. ATM they think our baby is just over 1000g. But I can't take the u/s weight guesses for granted, I don't trust them enough . My Ob is looking more at the measurements, and the SD ratio. Ours is head sparing, so the head is on the charts, but the other measurements are all way off. What are they saying about your bub?
Mrsmac, thank you so much . Probably a bit far to courier a meal LOL, but thank you.
Rosebud, thanks for that tip. I do a bit of work with the ABA, so I am going to sort out the pump stuff this week, JIC. I think I will organise to hire a Medela Symphony, with a double collection kit. The words that that mother shared with you have stayed with me........thank you for that. I'm sure that's a really important piece of advice.
Divvy, thank you so much for that offer hun. As you probably read above, I am going to hire a pump at first, but if I need another a little down the track I will sing out to you. Really appreciate it Div .
Ginger, that is so generous of you, how lovely! I have a wonderful friend with a three month old who is happy to donate some EBM for now. But if we end up needing a bit more I will certainly keep you in mind hun .
Didispunk, thanks for that reassurance, it's good to hear happy stories
CTG was okay today, but not quite what they were looking for, so we're back in again tomorrow. Hopefully bubba will give them the accelerations they're looking for!
Janie wishing you, your family and your special bubs all the best..just the fact that you feel that connection already will be a huge help.
Will be thinking of you and hoping all goes well. Pam.
Sorry guys, too many threads, and too little time online!!!!! Thanks for checking Divvy
Everything is plodding along okay, CTGs are a bit flat, but we work hard, and bub does the bare minimum in the end . A bit frustrated with being limited with my activities, but I know it's for the best. I know I'm lucky not to be in hospital. It was lovely to have today 'off' and just spend it with DS. Looking forward to Monday, but a bit anxious all the same.......we'll have another u/s, and hopefully will see no deterioration! If that's the case, then we just continue on as we have been doing.
Thanks again, will try to remember to pop back in again soon.
thanks for the update ill be thinking of you on monday while im having my ctg hopefully the scan comes back good. Are you getting 10 movements dailey???
things can and do change we were off the grapgh for the umbilical cord blood flow and it corrected its self after a few weeks and we wernt even on the grapgh for most things and now we have gotten back on and now in 7%ile. yeah the AC didnt change but other things fixed its self Im thinking positively for you im here for ya xoxo
Thanks Squid . Yep, we usually just scrape in with our 10 movements, although I feel quite reassured (if somewhat frustrated) because I know from the CTGs that there are plenty of movements that I am completely unaware of. So glad to hear your cord flow has improved, that's great! And that you have a date . Our SD ratio isn't that terrible, so they are a bit puzzled as to why the growth restriction is so significant. But hey, I'm feeling positive ATM, and that we can continue on this way for at least a few more weeks . And hopefully then bub will be a reasonable size! I definitely feel like I popped out a bit yesterday, and my fundus feels higher to me, which is reassuring as I hadn't felt that it was higher for some time. All the rest etc must be working!
Thanks Sally, your reassurance is lovely
Will try to pop back tonight after the CTG, to give an update......a positive one!
janie as for movements i find i struggle at times to feel bub too yet on the ctg machine seems so active i think cause you hear it. But the reason why i think we dont feel so many movements is because bub is smaller so has to kick harder for us to feel and our uterus is smaller to so take longer for the feeling (shockwave of movement) to reach the nerves maybe? i think so. I also find this on scans too bub can be moving but i cant feel it even tho i can see it.
