Dory, Hi, Thanks. Yesterday i was 140/90 but last week before i finished work i was something (sorry i can't remember) /105. My Ob has put me on BP tablets which i'm not too keen about, and i have K antibodies on my blood type so they are sending me to Newcastle to have more tests. If Bub gets jaundice after she's born she could need a blood transfusion. So at the moment i'm quiet worried about her.
Teni, hi! I have done the same thing, so i just rang the dr's surgery and i just went in and picked one up the next day no appointment nessesary.
Hi to everyone else, i hope you are all traveling along well! :)

Hi
Just popping in to wish you all a VERY merry xmas!!
Dory, how cute is your little Hannah bear?! Love the new photo on your ticker -she is just adorable.
Teni - I don't think you need to go through emergency anymore seeing as how far along you are. Can't you just ring the labour ward? Usually they'll ask you to go up for some monitoring. Although that probably doesn't help with the u/s thing as they'd probably just hook you up to the monitor.
Sam - hope they can get/keep your BP under control and bubs has no issues after birth. Good luck with your extra tests.
Nothing to report here - had my GD test over the weekend and seeing as I haven't heard from my ob I presume all is good with that. Bubs is moving around enough to keep me fairly stress-free so that is nice too :)
Hi to everyone else and hope everyone has a lovely xmas with their bumps and bubs.
-
Well, I ended up going into Emergency on Friday because I was stressing. All is well :) I blogged in massive detail about it if anyone wants a read - should be the second post down if you click my ticker :D
-
Hi girls - Merry Christmas to you and your gorgeous passengers....
Sam - I can understand why your Dr is worried.... but those levels aren't really bad :) Scary stuff being told you bubs may need a transfusion, but at least the transfusion will wash away all that billirubin that bubs immature liver is unable to process and bubs gets to go to the "salon" - for some photo therapy.
Jo - aw schucks... thankyou! I think she is just adorable, but I am soooooo bias. I saw some pics of me about over chrissy and oh man, this girl is even better looking than I was as a bub! Yep I'd presume your GD test was ok if you've not heard anything! How are you feeling? 29 weeks! Almost to the magical 30 weeks... then less than 10 weeks to go. How did Kaitlyn enjoy her Christmas? She's 20 months old, so I'd guess she was right into it. Bet she got tired though....
I hope you had a peaceful christmas watched over by your darling precious angels. We did. Though poor Hannah caught a cold Christmas eve.... she was so congested, but she is such a dear sweet girl, even admist feeling dreadful she managed to brighten our time with a gorgeous smile. Honestly, my world just stops in those moments...
Teni - good to see your ticker moving along - 28 weeks now.... will have to read your blog to see how you are going. Glad you got your scan and that all is ok. I know these coming weeks will be even harder.... sending you lots of strength.

I've been away at the In-Laws place by the beach since Christmas Eve and haven't had phone reception or internet access, got back late yesterday morning, but have been crazy buisy tying to sort out centrelink issues (I forgot to ring up last friday d'oh!) and I didn't get a payment yesterday so had to sort it all out today, so hopefully (fingers X'ed) it will be in my account this friday so I can buy some food... because we are running out of milk and andh ave no fruit left and DS has decided to develop a humungous appetite once again (I can just see another growth spurt on it's way again) and is eating everything under the sun.
Other news, still getting Braxton Hicks most of the day every day, saw the OB again today (I really like him, hubby does too, which is good) and as of this morning my BP was 120/80, Little Miss Dragonfly was doing fine, fundal height was measuring at 32wks - so only 5 weeks ahead now instead of the 6wks ahead that it was back when I was 22wks - and we are still on semi-permanent couch rest because of the braxton Hicks and I get to have another scan at 36wks to see how big Little Miss is and to check amniotic fluid levels... Dr Danso also had a chance to look at my records from DS and has deduced that DS may have become posterior while I was pushing (we thought we'd managed to turn him round the right way and face backwards before I got fully dilated) and that might explain why I had to have a c-section with him...
SO, that means...
We have now been given the go-ahead to try for a VBAC!!! YAY!!! So excited, but also a bit apprehensive as I was planning on having an active labour this time around (I had an epidural with DS and was on my back unable to move or feel my legs and stuck to monitors for the entire time I was in active labour) and i've now been told that I will be allowed to go into labour naturally as long as I don't go past 41.5-42wks because they don't want to put extra straight on my scar and want to avoid as much intervention as possible, but I will have to be monitored continuously as soon as I turn up at the hospital to make sure that Little Miss doesn't start to get stressed or anything... so no long hot showers or time in the gorgeous bath I saw in the birthing suite the other week :( Oh well, maybe I could get away with staying in the bath at home and *losing* track of time and end up having the homebirth I've found myself dreaming of once a week hehehe
So anyway, have the GTT test tomorrow morning at 8:30am, I'm going to really hate not having my morning coffee and plum jam on toast, but I'm sure I will survive, and then I get to do a tour of the maternity ward at 3pm on the 5th :) Which should be fun and then I see Dr Danso again on the 19th at 30wks...
Sorry for no persies, haven't got much time spare right now so just doing quick update posts.
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you'll all have a wonderful new year!
-
Jenna - it's so nice to hear that things are going so well... and yay for VBAC!!! Hope the GTT went well today and the drink stayed down and you weren't too woozy from not having toast and jam. My DH loves plum jam...me? lately more of a marmelade girl.
-
Happy new year girls! Hope everyone had a nice xmas and a more exciting evening than I did last night... although with bubs and bellies, I am guessing we all had a pretty low key NY eve :lol:
We just got back from a lovely 4 nights away - 2 nights at the ILs and 2 nights in the Hunter Valley. DH was happy being driven around to lots of wineries for tasting and Kaitlyn was so well behaved and didn't mind getting in and out of the car. As long as The Wiggles kept on playing on the CD player she was happy...
I am 30 weeks tomorrow!! Can't believe it, things are really moving fast now and I have organised nothing!
Jenna, great to hear that you will get a chance with your VBAC! My SIL is also hoping for one after an emergency c/s but due to my niece being a hefty 10lb she is a little worried in case this bub is another big one :o
In regards to monitoring, I was induced with Kaitlyn and had the drip and also the monitor thing stuck in the top of her head but I was able to move off the bed and walk a little bit around the bed and I did most of my labouring on my knees bent over a lounge chair so don't panic that monitoring will mean you stuck on the bed on your back unable to move at all. I hope it all goes the way you wish it to.
I see my ob on Wed and will discuss stitch removal dates and all that jazz. If he wants to do the same as last time, this stitch will be out and bub possibly here in 8 weeks time! :)
-
Hi Ladies! Just checking in on everyone! Brexton is awake a lot more during the day all of a sudden so I get very little computer time :( I hope everyone had a great Christmas and new year!
Jo, Congrats on 30 weeks! Can't wait to read when your stitch will be removed!
-
Wow. Thirty one weeks and three days today... At this gestation with Ianto, we didn't realise we were four days off the worst time of our lives. This was probably about the last point I felt him kick :cry:
I think I'm going to need some hands to hold over the next few days...
And again, sorry for never doing persies in here :hide: I do read along when I can!
:heartbeat:

Just poping in to say hi
and to let you know i have been thinking of you Teni
xx
-
Teni - such a tough time for you right now, so scared for Cookie remembering your pregnancy with Ianto....but have faith sweetie that your little Cookie will make it through, and if you can't then I will for you.... BIG HUG.
Hope you're ok with the flooding in Vic ( I have no idea where Lalor is.. )
-
Teni, I remember literally holding my breath till the 21 week mark as that's when I said goodbye to Josh, but as soon as that was over I felt soooooo much better and I was heaps more relaxed. Hoping it will be the same for you hun. Will have you and your precious Ianto in my thoughts in the coming days. Big hugs hun and YOU AND COOKIE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!
Love b xxxxxx

Haven't been on much lately, trying to get my GD under control at the moment. So far breakfast is sorted out, dinner is half way there and we're now working on lunch time, but any time it's hot or muggy my blood glucose levels go through the roof, so it's a big balancing act.
Hope everyone else is ok.
-
Hi!
Just checking in on everyone!
-
Hey Laney! How are you going? For a while Laney was one of the names on my list of names for girls. I only remembered that just now. Hope you and your gorgeous boys are well - hard to believe that Brexton is almost 3 calendar months old.
Teni - how are you doing? Are you feeling any different since 32 weeks?
Hmm was hoping for a longer stint, but it seems one sleep cycle is it for this morning for Hannah. Toodles
-
It's becoming all that more real - I get to take this baby home after I give birth! :o Since when does that happen to me?
Had a little cry over one of my gifts from my baby shower on Saturday - just a baby monitor - because I think my auntie expected me not to remember that she'd told me she was buying it for Ianto. Come to think of it, it's quite possible some of the gifts I received were originally meant for him... :cry:
Also, Cookie's been "naughty" the past week and is either changing his/her sleep cycles or just not moving around as much during the day. Where I'd grown used to massive movement mid-afternoon, now it ALL comes around 2am! :shakehead:
-
Teni - god to hear that you are starting to feel a little more positive.
I am so proud of you for having a baby shower - I couldn't muster the courage for H (or indeed energy and being on bed rest does make it harder to get it organised and play hostess.... but have had some nice celebrations since) Just think of some of the gifts as gifts from Ianto to Cookie...
Pity Cookie has changed to a night owl! Much harder for you.. but a very special time to enjoy Mummy and Cookie time.. besides Cookie is just getting you prepared for those 2am wake ups once here!
-
dory, the boys are doing great. We have a lot more good days than bad so I am happy. Brexton is a great sleeper so I have been well rested and ready to take them on all day.
We are already thinking about Grayson's second birthday! It sure does go fast!
Teni, I am so happy that you decided to have a baby shower. That is something that I didn't have the strength for. We did have a little party after Grayson was born but it just wasn't the same.
Jo, how have you been doing? You sure are getting close now! Do you have a date for the stitch removal?
