High Risk Pregnancy ~ General Discussion and Support

[black_rose]

Hi girls I am ok. Just being driven mad by my mum. Everything stopped for a day so I slept but it's started again, my ob wants me to rest as much as I can so I don't damage my pelvic floor muscles too much. Bubs seems even lower today so don't think it will be long now. The contractions are back again this morning, my brothers birthday which we always interrupt with something to do with babies so I might do it again!

Wow, Blackrose, good luck! You have done such a fab job to get to 35+3 I have been kinda stalking you LOL, it's nice to see you get this far. I hope you can hang in there for a few more days yet, but if not you know that bubs will be fine. You know, I even took my 35+0 bubba home when I was discharged on day 5! So there's hope. Thinking of you, and hope we can meet up one day.

(Oh and I hear you on your mum driving you nuts when you're on bedrest!!! Mine is a gem, but our relationship was strained while we had dramas with DS2's pg. Hang in there, things will come good again soon )

Crumpet ~ you are doing a fabulous job hun what a fabulous cervix you have, any extra length you can gain now is a huge bonus!!! Your positivity is purely inspiring, especially for others who have travelled a similar journey to you. I am hoping that your placenta moves up as your belly grows, how extensive is a grade 3, does it cover the whole cervix or it is close to the edge?

for being off bed rest I am doing a bit more at the moment while things are settled, my cervix was remaining stable and the BH's are generally being controlled with the Nifedipine, certainly not doing heavy lifting, long walks or the like as much as I would love to and I know that I can't be on my feet for an hour, but a few extra things is good for my sanity I took DD out this morning as I had to go to the bank and post office and we dropped into the shops and she was an absolute gem, she stood next to me and held my hand (while I sat) at the bank for 15 min then sat on my lap and rifled through my handbag while I sorted out the discharge papers for our home loan (for the house we are selling) and as she was soooo good I treated her to a bubbacino She waved good bye to everyone she saw and got sad when people didn't wave or say goodbye back There is a piccy on my blog of her this morning and also the post below has my 26 week belly shots added, I will be doing another update post as well, it is half written I just need to finish it.

MamaSpine ~ how was you appointment the other day? I hope all is well hun

I hope that everyone else is doing well and i am keeping you all in my thoughts, take care and keep baking xxoo

thanks hun, its nice to be cruising along now....

my placenta is covering some of my cervix im not sure of the exact measurement but the US tech said if they put a needle up my cervix to get a sample of the waters they would puncture my placenta so i guess its close to a 1/3 covered?

i saw miss N and her bubbychino on FB!! sooo cute!!!

glad to hear ur going along ok!!

Hi Lovely ladies, Hope you are all going well. And I'm hoping Blackrose is doing okay too.
I'm so sorry for the lack of persies, I am just feeling absolutely buggered tonight both emotionally and physically. I think I'm gonna head off, have a shower and go to bed.


My appointment went well. The protein levels were back to trace only and my BP is perfect, so a false alarm. I had a fall yesterday though, so I'm feeling very sore and sorry for myself. Bubba is okay though thank goodness.

Night night . x

glad to hear everything is going ok, not much longer now hun

hope the rest is keeping things at bay for u hun...

AFM: not a lot to report really. am loving being off bed rest but im still resting a lot and taking it easy, im to terrified not to.

after reading up on placenta previa ive decided to be extra careful coz u can have large bleeds and end up in hospital, just what id like to avoid if i can!! might be a bit paranid but im not taking risks!

So glad you BP is good and the protein is back to trace, just the news we love to hear for having a fall, I hope you don't have too many bumps and bruises.

N is a huge fan of the babycino's I will have to put up some other piccies where she is using a ceramic tea cup and drinking it, she looks so grown up

Definitely take it easy with the PP, a few friends have had them, some it has shifted and others it hasn't, I am so hoping that yours will move up and out of the way xxoo

AFM ~ not a lot, BH's hit me tonight as I forgot to take my Nifedipine when I got home from a BB catch up, so took it a couple of hours late, so have spent the evening on the couch. Got my OB appoitnment on Tuesday, hopefully it will be all good news and it is nice to have made it nearly 2 weeks without any big changes or extra appointments

Off to bed, and thinking of you all, and hoping BR and MS will be baking for a while longer xxoo

oohhh no hope the BH settled down!! keep up those drugs lovie!! ur doing soooo well 27 weeks!!!

and how awsome are u no extra appts!!!!! ur my motivation i dont want to speak to or see my OB until my next appt in 3 weeks!!! probably dreaming but its worth a shot!!!

I will have to send them over from my phone, it won't be tonight, my belly is so tight and hurting, so I am spending the night on the couch, even sitting isn't help so I'm going to have to lie down. DH downloaded the Masterchef Finale for me so I will be watching that which will be good even though I know the winner

I have adjusted my ticker to match up with the Dates my OB has for me, so that means I don't tick over a week until Thursday now....

I just know with Bleeding you have to get to the hospital quickly to be checked, but I am not sure what else to look for I will be cheering you on to make it 3 full weeks to your OB appointment

Thankyou for your support Belfie I am sure that all the girls in here appreciate it

Will update my OB appointment sometime tomorrow afternoon or evening
Take care all and keep baking xxoo
