[crumpet]

poo on needing to go back twice a week for monitoring hun, wish we could take those machines home with us and do it on our couches huh?!
yay fr 33 weeks, and looking like getting to 34, thats so awesome.
where are u having her?

Butterfly Forver, will keep everything crossed for a good report from u tomorrow xxx

yeah its a bit of a pain but given all i do is relax i figure its a good excuse for a fw outings a week!

yeah its amazing given what we originally thought we would get to thats for sure!!!

im having her at northpark private in bundoora, unless i go into labour before next monday then it will be the mercy in heidelberg.

where are u having ur little man?

At monash, he'll have his surgery there too, its becoming our second home!
have anther appointment tomorrow, going to give them what for and see if i can have my diabetes managed outside of the hospital and to see my gp who is trained to deal with preggo ladies instead of seeing their OB's and just go to bubs appointments instead.
The Obs dont do anything my GP cant, all they do is take my blood pressure and check my fundal height, and i have to wait around for 2 hours on average for them to do it, with 2 little girls who get very very bored there! its prety stressfull on me trying to keep them quiet and busy while we wait, and by the time im seen to im pretty shirty aswell! so hoping i can see my own doctors in my own time around the girls and just see the specialists there. keep ur fingers crossed they agree to it!

found some info, not a heck of alot, apparently theres every chance bub will be able to come home once he's born! (super yay!) and we go back weekly to have his o2 sats checked and a heart scan till his surgery

good luck with ur appt today!!! hope it went well!!!

oh thats awsome if he could come home between birth and his op!! ill be crossing my fingers for you!!

ok so apparently i dont get a choice in who cares for my diabetes, i have to go to the hospital as often as they tell me to, to look in my book ad say ur doing well do u need more insulin? no, ok we'll see u next week!
Seriously it took me 2 hours to get in there this morning! then sit around for two hours waiting to be seen with the kids i felt like i was going to either scream or cry...or maybe both at the same time.
i dont understand why i dont get to choose who looks after me and my baby? surely theres an option, even if i could ring my levels in instead of actually going in IYKWIM??

Anyway got home and rang the maternal fetal medicine clinic who i have an app with in december and she's going to come in with me next week to see if we can work out a better arrangement for me and just come in on thursdays to the high risk clinic.
Fingers crossed!

Hi all

Crumpet - it's great you have got this far on in the pregnacy, glad they aren't too worried about the bleeding. You are been well cared for, and it is better than been in hossy on bed rest. Well done you for getting bubs this cooked though.

Skybie - thinking of you with all those long waits for the appts, I had that too before I came into this prison. Now I'm a captive audience and believe me I'm always getting monitors and needles stuck in or on every available inch of me. Hope you can have your little boy home for a while, before surgery. Thinking of you.

afm - scan this am. No real cahnge, plodding along till 30 weeks, don't think they will let me go much past that. Having regular urine tests, the first sign of my bladder rupturing will be blood in the urine. Joy!!!

take care all
