Hi lovely ladies boy I am glad to see that you are all still baking away!!!

Hopefully I can get through some personals before Miss A awakes!

Congrats Jenna on a little girl, so exciting!!! I hope you find lots of lovely purple things!! And I am thrilled your US went well

csab oh hun I am absolutely thrilled that your little one's growth has improved, wooo hooo for going up in the percentiles!!! And I am stoked to see that you are nearly at 32 weeks, your pregnancy seems to be flying by to me
What a truely beautiful message , I hope the thread will continue as well, because I know I found it hard trying to explain everything to my Baby Buddies as they were all having "normal" pregnancies, and I didn't want to scare the one's having their first... and it was so good to be able to come in here and have mums who understood what it is like day in and day out dealing with so much.

Skybie oh hun, it must have been a huge shock to you, I am so glad that you have found heart kids, I have a few friends who have used their services and they have simply raved about how amazing they are. I will be keeping you and your little Man in our thoughts and prayers and I hope you will get some more answers from your OB as to what to expect. Everyone in here is really understanding and having mum's who know what it is like to go through a stressful pregnancy can make a big difference on the down days and know how important the up days are.

Crumpet, what fabulous news!!! You can be that miracle girl, I will be crossing my fingers and toes you can last as long as possible! My OB was the same with the steroids, we only went down tha path when we thought we really weren't going to be able to stop the labour at 32 weeks, but was so happy the progesterone on top of the Nifedipine did it's thing, we did have a top up dose on the Tuesday and I delivered early on the Thursday, and Anastasia really needed them, as she struggled quite a bit after delivery, and without them a transfer would have been inevitable

Butterfly Forever big hun, I am so sorry to see that you didn't get a reply the other week, I am so sorry to hear that things aren't going so well, I hope that you can last as long as possible and that your next US shows improvement, good to know you have the steroids on board, but hopefully you will get into the 30's.

AFM ~ we have DD2's Paed appointment next Friday and then on the Saturday she has an US on her hips as she is high risk of having Hip Dysplaysia, her Paed has checked her a couple of times and wants the scan done as she has a 1:3 risk of having it (but a 2:3 she doesn't ). The risk factors are below:

Female ~ yes
First born ~ no
Family History ~ we have a family history of hypermobility, being too flexible in the joints (3 generations at least), Nakita is hypermobile in her hips and knees
post-date ~ no, 5 weeks prem
breech ~ yes
low fluid levels ~ yes, I had no AF 2 days prior to delivery
"compact pg" ~ yes, all baby, round tight bump

So I guess we will just wait and see what the scan says, and what ever the result we will just deal with it and keep positive

Other than that there aren't any medical issues that we are aware of, we will be keeping an eye out for hypermobility and if present we will get on top of it quickly with physio.

Take care gorgeous mummies and keep baking these amazing babies!!
