Premmie Mums #8

Just wanted to pop in and say
YAY KYLA IS TWO YEARS OLD TOMORROW!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL MIRACLE GIRL, I LOVE YOU

Happy Birthday for tomorrow Kyla! Wow, Carrie two! It's hard to believe, isn't it?
Hope you are well.
I hope everyone here is doing ok. We have had a shocking Winter. Too much to go into (it's all on the blog if you want a low down) but hopefully, things will start looking up now that Spring is just around the corner.

Happy Birthday Kyla!
Hope you have a wonderfull day
Love, Lelani

Happy Birthday Miss Kyla (for yesterday) I hope you had a fun filled day big girl!

Happy birthday Kyla! and well done to you, too, Carrie. How are you feeling?

Thanks everyone. Things are going ok here, although Kyla has bronchitis and I have a ripping sore throat! I have the scan tomorrow to check what's going on with the cervix - we'll see what happens.

Carrie, how was the scan?

I am off topic, but just wanted to share
She is sitting on her own!! Mind you, not long, but more than 30 seconds!!!!! I put her on the floor and step back and watch in amazement. She is learning sooooo fast. Maybe it's time now for her to sleep in her own room.
How is everyone doing?

Yay Nadine!! That's fantastic! You must be so proud of your little girl.
Castle- scan went really well. But a bit weird. First scan the cervix was 2.3cm and the second was 3.8 - which apparently doesn't really happen. So this is fantastic - but very unexpected so I'm a bit confused and waiting to talk to my Ob about what this all means? But atm it appears that things are good! Thanks for asking!

Carrie, just so that it stays loooong and stroooong!

Nadine, what great news. It's so exciting to see these things happening. Although your first is always special, especially a prem, I can tell you that I felt just as thrilled with every baby.

Yay Nadine how exciting, thats great news!
Carrie- hoping just the first scan when cervix was 2.3cm was the wrong one 3.8cm is excellent!

guys for those of you who have been pg after having a prem.
i am soooooooo nervous right now because in just 4 days time i will be the same gestation as when i had prom with nixon. (currently 32w1d had prom at 32w5d and delivered at 33w3d)

I'm so nervous i am making myself feel sick, and paranoid that every time i stand up im going to spring a leak!
up until today i have been a bit anxious but still feeling ok, today i think its just hit me and i cant concentrate on anything else!
How am i going to get past the next week feeling like this??

Nic... You will be fine... little PopPow WILL stay in for the duration...

Please try & relax ( I know easier said than done)... if you can take a bit of time out for yourself to chill...

I am sure everthing will be fine :)

Hi Nic,
I had a prem @ 21 weeks in my 2nd pg( long story) then I was pg again 8 weeks after losing my DS. I too got a little freaked around the same time in my 3rd pg with DD. I couldnt help it, it was always in the back of my mind. Its natural. Even my sis who had her 1st @ 30 weeks was afraid with her 2nd pg as she had PE and HELLP. She just delivered her DD @ 26 weeks.

Quite frankly after my 3 pg's, the actual thought of being pg again scares living hell outta me lol but I do want more babies

Oh Nic, I can only imagine how you feel. I am not really thinking of getting pg soon, but in the back of my head, I am also scared *****less about having another prem!! I like having this small perfect bundel of joy, seems more baby than bigger bubs, but still, to go through it again ...
So just so many hard (hugs) to you hun!! I'll be having my fingers crossed for your little powpow to come much later :)

Nic - Congratulations on making it past the date!!

thanks Carrie! i actually almost paniked early thismorning 4am i awoke with some pains. think they were just BH but were coming every 9-10min for neally 1.5hrs. So many things were running through my head about what i had to organise, but i managed to get back to sleep just b4 six and haven't had anymore since waking again at 7.30am. but now im getting some sort of a cold or something i have the sorest throat. Hoping it doesnt eventuate into anything more then the sore thraot.

Tiffany- i can only imagine what you have been through and your sister.
I know im at a good gestation should something happen any time from now. How is your neice doing that was born @ 26weeks? Thats not Danni from Austprem is it??

Nic,

Yup it sure is lol

They named her Aurora Isabelle. She is doing really well now. She has had a few little hiccups i.e valve in her heart not closing, she threw up while on the ventilator and swallowed it down into her lung which it then collapsed, a little bowel disruption, her bp kept dropping, then she dropped weight due to a minor infection from the central line in her heart but they got it early.



Despite all this the little trooper is doing great. She is off her CPAP for up to 10 hours now and has gone from 669 grams at birth to a whopping 1150 grams. There is talk of her being able to be transferred back to her original hospital in the next few weeks once she is off the CPAP altogether. I have been to see her but not IYKWIM, I just couldnt bring myself to go in and look at her. She was not much bigger than my Lachlann.

Braedon is absolutely wrapped at being a big bro, he's my little sweety, but apparently he's having issues with mummy not being at home and his father is not the easiest person to get along with let alone live with(lol dont get me started on him!!!!)

How are you going now??
