Hi Beema, I thought I would crash your thread lol. This will be my 4th High risk pgcy. The first was due to multpile m/c's, the second was the same but also due to the previous c/s, the 3rd Little V age came a problem as well as previous c/s's and finding out the reason I have had to be on Aspirin for the previous two pgcys. I am ANA positive. Also V had a high risk of DS, which you already know and had several u/s's to check on her heart etc.
Now comes to this one, still high risk, age, previous c/s's ANA positive, on Aspirin, maybe changed to clexane this pgcy due to Little V being so small full term as well as I have been told frequent u/s's to check on how bubs is doing, likely to be every month. Still not sure if that will be the case, as the Baby Dr's at the hospital havent said this yet, but the physcians have.
Im also not allowed to go into labour naturally, yet I would hope they will let me, but highly doubt it. They are worried about rupturing.
So here I am, have had the NT scan which almost wasnt a great result, but thankfully turned around, and now waiting for the 18wk scan to see how bub is doing.
So thats it for me atm, hopefully I get to enjoy the rest of this pgcy.
csab!! welcome here hun!!

u know what, i think the only perk to a high risk preg is the amount of scans we get!!! i love it, means we can see wormette regulary and i can relax knowing all is travelling along as well as we can expect!!!
Crumpet, woohoo on the cervix. I hope it keeps behaving for you and you get to have3 your stitch in 3 weeks time when the "good" assistant is back
AFM, I had some acupuncture and moxibustion this morning. mainly to see if it helps bub to turn but also I have a pinched nerve above my left buttock and sometimes it pinches really bad and stops me in my tracks. I'm going to have it every 2 weeks from now on and I'm also hoping the acupuncture helps with keeping my Bp at bay too.
thansk hun, im taking it easy so fingers crossed i keep some length in there to make my OBs job that little bit easier!!

ouch!! u poor thing!! i get that here and there and its sooo painful!! lucky we have a good friend who is a osteo so i call on her when im desperate to be able to move properly!! lol......
hope bub turns soon....

u have probably already herd about it but a lot of ppl recommend the spinning babies web site, personally ive never looked at it and havnt needed it, i delivered Gus breech, but im not sure it would be helpful for u??
Great news on the cervix length Crumpet!!! I gained some length betwen 12-16 weeks, then two big loses after that, another smaller loss and sitting jsut over 3.0cm atm with my next scan on Tuesday, so crossing my fingers we haven't lost any more length
AFM having confident and not so confident days, I think it gets worse as I approach each scan, and after I have done a few things around the hosue I then worry should I have not done that..... sigh....
thanks hun!!!
last preg i had a length increase while i was on rest during the 12-14 week mark so hopefully it either stays the same or grows a little bit more.....
oohh ill be thinking of u tuesday!!
my OB was telling me the general rule for IC is if anything is going to happen it will happen between 18-23 weeks, not sure if its true but hopefully thats the case and u are over that hurdle in the next week or so!!!

its such a hard ride a high risk preg..... i know what u mean about the confident and not so confident days, im feeling good atm, ask me again in 2 weeks before im in hospy and it might be a whole different story!!
and having a little person in the house would make it harder to rest, i honestly dont know hoe i would cope with all the resting if i had a child already......

AFM: am starting to adjust my life to rest more than i already do...
my OB is happy im home resting everyday, but ideally would like me to cull ad much actitity as possible over the next few weeks, which means even more for Dh to worry about which = me feeling guilty.....
so ive ordered my groceried online to be delivered, then DH doesnt have to do it after work and i dont have to wander the supermarket....
and ive planned my dinners to make sure its as little standing as possible, things like bologniase in the slow cooker, rissoles i can make sitting down, all that sort of stuff.....
then i only have to go to appts or the chemist for my usual million things!!

hope u have all had a great and un-eventful weekend!
