High Risk Pregnancy ~ General Discussion and Support

[black_rose]

Have updated my sig, I am 33weeks on Wed, but still getting there!

Mammaspice I had a VBAC with GD so let me know if you have questions, I was going to have an elective CS if I got past 38 weeks though as my ob did't want dd to get too big.

TK, you will know when you are ready, BB is a great source of information and for support. An you will be well prepared when the time comes.

Beema glad to hear the BH have settled down and on that you got the all clear on the test results. IKWYM about being organised I have been the same as well. Yayy on getting the new room for DD all done up, she will feel all special when she moves.

Crumpet maybe it was just everything stretching again, I have had it happen a few times with all the preg.

Csab good luck with the appointment tomorrow.

aFM I am very tired 'and achy but I reached my mini goal of taking DD1 to Disney on Ice, lots of fun too she was a well behaved little girl.

happy 33 weeks hun!!!

ive hit 14weeks today, am lagging behind u girls!!

yep i think ur right, i think it was everything moving and shaking in there, and as for the "gunk" im assuming the moving and shaking might have stirred up the placenta.....
but the bood news is no more excitment here!!!

thats fantastic hun!! did DD love it?? i cant wait till wormette is old enough for that sort of thing!! probably should get her here safely first!!! lol.....

hope everyone else is travelling along ok with no excitment!

[*Beema*]

I hope everyone is tracking along nicely!!!

Congrats om 33 weeks black_rose you are doing a fabulous job !!!

Congrats on 14 weeks Crumpet and so glad that you are haivng a nice boring week ~ I LOVE hearing about boring weeks in this thred You will get your little wormette here safely

csab ~ how did the dieticians appointment go with Miss V? I hope you haven't had to increase the V at all DD's birthday was really good and it still going, she has had more presents to open each night, so spoilt! I hope you headaches have eased or gone completely, they can be horrible I had one that went for 8 days and it drove me nuts!!!

AFM ~ BH's the last two nights and I have had tightenings again this morning, I am not happy with my body doing all this practising it really isn't required But I am glad I have the Nifedipine, it isn't stopping the BH's but making them not as bad IYKWIM, I have two tablets left I thought I would have enough to get to my OB appointment next week, but as I am expecting they will come back later today based on the tightenings this morning I will be running very low, so will have to call my OB tomorrow if that's the case and get some more. Have to go for another BT today or tomorrow, another round of platelets for my next OB appointment. I keep telling Flicker to chill out and relax we have plenty of time to get to know you when you arrive in a few more weeks times no need to get excited and want to see us sooner!

thanks hun!!

like u i love hearing about boring weeks in here!! lol.....

glad u have the nifedipine, i hope it helps a bit...... it held my labour off for a week so that was pretty good, the infection is what let us down in the end!

hopefully flicker can chill out in there for another 10 weeks min!

have u got a aim as such? i know my aim is 28 weeks.... thats my personal aim, my OBs aim is 37weeks lol.... he has high expectations!!

Now I am 24 weeks I am aiming to get to 28 weeks, and then 30 weeks. 28 weeks has some really good leaps in terms of development so there are some big pluses getting past that point. Even though there is no guarentee with any prems... I think my OB's aim was to get us past 24 weeks and as close or into the 30's, she said from very early on I won't make it to term, as did another High Risk OB, so the aim hasn't been as far at 37 weeks, would be fab to prove everyone wrong, but I feel that body isn't going to let that happen, atm the moment I feel that 28 weeks seems so far away... I think once we get on top of the BH's and the dosages right hopefully things will settle.

Each tablet is 20mg, it is a slow release form so takes 1-2 hours to work, but lasts longer, but my OB said we may have to switch it to a quicker acting dose and up the dosage if it isn't keeping them at bay, which is my feeling, I didn't expect them to ramp up so much this week though, so was more than happy with the initial dosage, but it isn't taking the edge off enough I think.
