Yay for lounging around doing nothing. I have everything crossed that all this lazing about is working for you hun. LOL, I think it may be a race to the finish line. Yet if you keep going the way you are, I think you may just beat me. Yet as long as it is past 35wks ok. Hugs

Hi all

Crumpet - sorry about the cervix news, it's so worrying isn't it. Glad she has turned though. I have to do the bed rest soon as well. Sorry had a laugh about the iron (just the way you worded it), you poor thing, you'll have to dose up on senna, as well. Pooer you with the placenta performance, you'll never see these people again, doesn't matter what they think.

Csab - what a performance with the appt's, at least you are getting well looked after. Wow a baby in a few weeks time, hope you are prepared.

afm - Here's the story so far. I have had a stressful few weeks of worrying after they told me at the 20 week ultrasound that my c-section scar was only measuring 2mm thick. I have had a couple of subsequent scans and my Ob has assured me that the Sonographer has measured the wrong bit, the scar today was 1cm (10mm) thick, the guy last time had measured a portion of the uterus that sits much lower down, and apparently is quite thin at this stage of the pregnancy. I have also had to spent a night in hospital about 10 days ago just with scar pain, I needed a scan the next day. The Sonographer then told me I had a shortened cervix, only measuring 2.1cm, so I have had 10 days of worry waiting for my Ob to come back of his Hols. Today at my scan, the cervix now looks long and closed (about 3cm). So don't know what is going on there. I am going to be totally grey by the time this pregnancy is done. I am still having to take it easy at the mo, and am trying to rest up a little, although this isn't easy with 4 kids 7 and under, and just having the 2 weeks school hols. I will see the Ob again in 2 weeks, but think bed rest in hospital will be soon, probably from about 28 weeks on. I too will be delivering early, aim to get me too 34 weeks.

take care all
Gee hun, I hope you dont need to end up in hospital on bed rest, but if it keeps bubs in side for longer than 34wks than it is the best thing. Gee the gray hairs have quadrupled for me, lol. It sounds like they are keeping a close eye on you too. Which is a good thing. Im glad the u/s's came back alot better for you this time though, all that stress isnt good for any of us even bubs. Mkae sure you keep resting up. Hugs

this pregnancy caper is one constant worry isnt it!!!
have to try and make some humour about it all at some point!!

great news on the cervix!! closed is awsome and 3cm is great too! ur beating me in the cervix depertment!!!
hope the scar pain isnt to bad!
I think we do need a bit of humour i here dont you? lol. We seem to be posting alot of downer posts in here, yet at least we have each other to get us through these up and down days. Soon we will all be rewarded with our bubs.
