KAM - congratulations on the safe arrival of Violet!!!!! Recover well, I am going to check the BA's now. Hope you are enjoying your newborn snuggles.

Miss B - thankyou.

Just an update - on 1 April I had a suspected premature rupture of the membranes. I was hospitalised for 5 days. A scan showed low amniotic fluid. But Raspberry Bear was doing well especially the kidney's. Low liquor can indicate kidney problems with bubs, as by the thrid tri a massive 500ml can be passed by the baby each day!!!! Anyway I was discharged on strict bed rest, but without any sign of infection, or labour starting. PHEW. A subsequent scan has showed the liquor level to have increased slightly, baby still doing well and no signs of any other trouble .

It's been agonising time, relief to get to a gestation where life saving treatment could be offered, and scared witless that we would need it. So far we've managed to eek about another 2 weeks, so bubs is now 29 weeks. I am taking it easy, although I am allowed to do more now. I am still cautious about lifting HB ( who is a healthy 12.5 kgs now). Well that means I don't lift her at all. We are getting used to it now, both of us. I miss my pick up cuddles.

Hope all is going well elsewhere. I am not getting notifications and have to rely on my memory to check in.
