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

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.
rest is kinda doing its job, not quite as well as it should unfortunatly!
see below for my update!
and hun i think ur right i think im going to beat u to the finish line!

yep bit of humour helps i rekon!

Crumpet ~ WOOOOOOHOOOOOO for 30 weeks tomorrow!!!! How are you going being on rest, it is hard, you will have good and bad days and that it ok, just when you have the bad days keep telling yourself that things will look brighter again soon. People think it is easy but it isn't, to be told you can't do x,y & z is frustrating. I hope your stitch behaves no moving!

AFM ~ we received the pathology report back on the placenta, and it was SGA (small for gestational age) no surprise there. There was also a large blood clot, which is the culprit for all my later bleeds and a good thing I was on rest for so long. The rest I will go through with my OB at my 6-8 week checkup. I think I will also have to have a debrief about my pregnancy, while I didn't go through the NICU rollercoaster the whole pregnancy was very difficult mentally and emotionally, and there are a lot of things I am going to have to deal with and just thinking about them makes me quite emotional

Anastasia is doing well, gaining weight and generally eating and sleeping, feeding 3-4 hourly, sooo much easier than the 24/7 feeding/expressing regieme we had with N,the extra 2 snd a bit weeks made a huge difference. It is a completely blissful experience

Must run it is feeding time again
Take care and Bellyrubs
thanks hun!! so good to see you back!!
bed rest is defintely loosing its appeal and its now showing, see my update below. its very frutrating to be told u cant do this or that when u feel perfectly capable of doing it, but as they say "it will all be worth it when she is here"

little miss A is just DEVINE!!!! OMG she is making me soooooooo clucky, like i needed any help
so glad things are going well for you guys....

hun you had a tough tpugh pregnancy no one can blame u for being emotional about it!

AFM:

so ive just had my 30w OB appt....

i should start off by telling u i was in hospital monday last week for monitoring becasue of no movements, baby girl was fine, just lazy like her daddy!
then on friday arvo and saturday morning i had some bleeding, not alot but enough to notice it and need a liner....
called my OB, and got me into the hospital and had more monitoring and some bloods.

so fast forward to today, and the follow up details!

so my BP is up on normal ( yayyy!!!) 110/60 so still low but a load better than 90/40 2 weeks ago!
im now 1kg OVER my starting weight!! **** its happening!! im getting to be a whale!!! in 2 weeks ive put on 1.3kg!! fark me!!
in 2 weeks my fundal height has grown 3cm AGAIN so i now measure 34weeks!!!!

now the fun stuff....
so we went over the bloods from saturday and they were fine, compelely negative which meant the bleed was from either my cervix or my whoo harr....
so he decided we would do a internal to see whats going on....
so he poke...s around and my stitch has started surfacing, which looks to be the cuase of the bleed. this ok, not ideal coz its not meant to happen until the late 30's not at 30weeks. my cervix has shortened in 2 weeks from 2.4cm to approx 1cm from the stitch down so at a guess he thinks it would be 1.9cm and thats being generous. her head is on my cervix so he thinks thats why ive had the bleeding coz she is putting so much pressure on there, and she is engaged as well, no wonder i feel funny when i walk and i have a sore fanny!
so she is engaged and ready to go.
the aim now is for 2 more weeks, and while he *thinks* ill get there, at the same time he wont be surprised if i dont, so really anytime from now she will be here.
if i have anymore bleeding he wants me in to see him, any contractions and we have to get the stitch out, and im on weekly appts instead of fortnightly ones now.

so if she comes between now and 32 she will more than likely spend time in NICU but if she comes after 32 he said he would expect her to go straight to special care.

the chances of going to 37 are now nearly non exisitent, basically it would be a miracle!

so looks like ill be meeting my little girl before we know it, well in 2 + weeks i hope!!

so im off to look around the premmie threads to see what info i can arm myself with to try and prepare DH and I for what we might be facing.
