High Risk Pregnancy ~ General Discussion and Support

[csab]

Yay Mamaspice what wonderful news on having a date for your c/s and being your dads b'day as well. What a wonderful size your bub is and at 37wks. lol. I cant wait to hear your birth announcement and to see how accurate the measurements were in regards to weight. How exciting hun. hugs

Blackrose - Omgoodness I hope those contractions start up again soon for you. With one of my pgcy's I had contractions the week before labour started exactly, they stopped and the following week started up again into true labour. GL hun, we are all so excited for you too. Yay for hitting the 38wk mark too. hugs

Crumpet - September isnt too far away now hun, I have every faith in you that your going to make it way past September. I sooo cant wait to hear how your u/s goes next week. hugs

Well I was very crampy last night, not sure if it had anything to do with how I got up from the recliner last night as I ended up with this sharp pain in my side when I did. I just tossed and turned all night from the crampiness. At least bubs decided to give me some reassurance and boot me a little bit. I was getting abit worried.

Thanks Crumpet hun. I cant believe how quickly time is flying. You will be here in another 3days. lol

Hope everyone is well, and how are these full term bubba's and mummas going? Black Rose and Mamaspice.

Beema - Hope all is going well hun and the pains have settled. hugs

Well feeling abit worried, I cant stand not feeling bubs movements, Im used to feeling them in pgcy. So of course with me not feeling movements as much as I would like, ( you know everyday) I worry. Sometimes I can go days without feeling bub. I should have a look at the last u/s report and see if it mentions the position of the placenta. Maybe this bub is just quiet. Hopefully soon I will feel bub more often and with definate movements.
I had such horrible dreams last night about bubs and DS. Probably why I am more worried today.
Anyway chat later ladies, hope your all well. hugs

Sorry i can't do personals and this is a copy and paste

Just a quick update I was in at my OB's office on the CTG this afternoon, due to constantly tight belly and tightenings, and I'm having contractions every 15 min, lasting 1.5-2m and quite strong, and inbetween a very irritable uterus that won't relax. So on a constant higher dose of Nifedipine, plus boosters of a quick relase form, and now on bed/couch rest for the net few days to hopefully slow everything down, my cervix is holding it's own at the moment so jsut gotta calm this baby and uterus down. Still got lots of baking to do before meeting this baby!

Hopefully DH will set things up so I can come on BB

Beema - Sorry your going through some more of a rough time, Im praying that the contractions settle for you and your little flicker stays put until full term. Hang in there hun. Lots of sticky sticky vibes. Hope the meds work, rest up as much as you can. hugs

Crumpet - Thanks hun, I checked my u/s report and it mentioned that the placenta is anterior so thats why Im not feeling the movements as much as I would like, you know everyday. lol. Hugs

Hi mummies

I'm stuck on bed/couch rest now, with a constant dosage of 80mg of Nifedipine throughout the day, plus boosters of 10mg quick release Nifedipine to stop the ctx when I get them in runs. I had a pretty rough night with them last night 1 1/2 hours and they were just on top of each other, it was hard because I was lying down through them which feels like it is the complete wrong thing to do IYKWIM, but I felt that if I walked or rocked through them that it could encourage things to move. So have been feeling pretty sore and sorry for myself this morning, and hoping that tonight will be a better night, I had to have another booster this morning, but doing ok atm this afternoon with them much more spread out.

I thought that it was just Flicker moving and doing a big looooong stretch, so I am sure you can imagine my surprise when the CTG was recording ctx, and inbetween just going nuts because of my uterus being so irritated at least though know I now and we can get them under control.

My cervix was 3.4cm, but there was a bubble where it has opened which is 0.7cm, but no funnelling, so got a good 2.7cm, which is why I am not game to put any pressure on it.

A few personals while I can..

Congrats on 20 weeks csab

Sending labour vibes your way Black Rose

Can't wait for your BA MummaSpice, I am glad you are still keeping the date a surprise, gotta have some secrets
