High Risk Pregnancy ~ General Discussion and Support

[black_rose]

Hi girls just thought I would give you an update, I am in hospital on bed rest. It seems my waters started leaking on Friday and I was having contractions. They finally stopped and my cervix is closed but bubs is engaged. My ob isnt sure what is happening as I shouldn't be leaking as my cervix is 2.1cm long, but I am leaking something. So I am having tests done and will have another ultrasound tomorrow morning.

Big black_rose, I am glad the ctx have stopped and your cervix is closed, it is shortening, but at this stage of pregnancy not surprising. My leaking the other week ended up being just a lot of cervical fluid, my OB was really surprised when all the tests can back negative for infection and it wasn't amniotic fluid.... I hope things stay stable for you and there is still plenty of fluid around bubs, will be thinking of you when you have your US tomorrow
Also congrats on buying a house, we jsut sold ours, past the colling off period now and waiting for August 12 for settlement

ButterflyForever ~ how frustrating having to wait so long for your appointment grrr, but what an amazing time for your children to see your bubba and everything is sounding great

Mamaspice ~ How did your grwoth scan go on Friday, I hope everthing was working as it should be, for having to be on so much insulin, hopefully it gets you through to FT.

Sally ~ I was so happy to hear that Archer had arrived safely and what a wonderful job Sal did baking for the extra 10 weeks, just amazing, it was one of the "good news" stories I gave my OB the other day as I had mentioned a few not so good one's lately and she was pretty darn impressed with how long the pregnancy lasted! How is Archer going now, hopefully the rest of his stay will be short and he will be home with all of you very soon.

crumpet ~ Hope you are doing well hun, and resting up

AFM ~ generally doing well, Friday night was horrid spent the night on the couch lying down, must have had some big sifts in my body as I struggled to walk and the pelvic instability flared up, at one stage we though we were looking at ctx not BH's, but what ever it was settled back down am thinking it was jsut everyting moving and adjusting and I managed to get to sleep int he early hours of the morning. Other than that it feels as though I have a foot almost permeanently in my cervix, I swear this baby is going to kick their way out, so am hoping bub moves into a Celphic position soon again as it is really not comfortable as well. Hoping for a nice calm week so I don't end up seeing my OB until my scheduled appointment

Thinking of you all and hopefully everyone is still baking in another week or two at least!!!

everyone.

Blackrose hun. Hope everything goes well for you. Rest up in hospital and good luck for your scan tomorrow.

Beema, sounds like you had a rough night on Friday. Glad to hear you're feeling much better and I hope flicker turns for you soon

Hi to everyone else! Hope you're all travelling well.

AFM the scan went well. Bub is cephalic Fluid levels and cord flow are good Bub is measuring 2 weeks ahead mg: he's about 5lb 8oz apparently. The sonographer said he's up the very top end of the normal range.
