Good evening girls
Update from my OB appointment today, I updated my blog but didn't get back on here
My cervix grew by 0.5cm so we are back out to 3.6cm, which is just awesome news!!!
Flicker has shifted, cheeky little on and is now transverse/breech position, but as I know Flicker can go head down I am less concerned than I was a few weeks ago when it was thought it was going to be a bigger issue.
The placenta is still small, but Flicker is growing, so we will be monitoring Flickers growth later on in the pregnancy, my OB said we aren't out of the woods yet, but we should take this time and hopefully we will have a few weeks to enjoy the pregnancy.
My fundal height was bang on 23 weeks, which was lovely as with DD at 24 weeks I was measuring 30 weeks and it was the start of Polyhydrominous (excess amniotic fluid), my fluid levels have remained stable as well after looking very low for a few weeks there, so hopefully they won't become an issue from here on in.
The great thing is that throughout the whole pregnancy my BP has remained relatively stable!
My OB has said that she would do one if I kept shortening, but sooo happy today that it went out to 3.6cm
such awesome news my OB was really surprised and very very happy as was I
) and not doing too much generally. I still have another check in two weeks on the length but today my OB said that it was unlikely that she would do the stitch now, unless we had some drastic changes. We will just go with the Progesterone and the Nifedipine, I have had cramps but the BH's have been at bay for a few days now so hopfully along with my cervix everything settles for a while.
I am glad your BH's have settled again, hopefully they go away for a while for you, is there anything that you think you are doing different which is causing them to ramp up? It was me that poted it, it was something my OB said to me and I actually rechecked it with her today, but if it is larger then to be more concerned, but also keep in mind that one of our fellow BB'ers lost bits of plug a similar size to you and ended up delivery her bub very early, but she is doing well and praying that it continues that way, so I guess it isn't the best indicator about labour..... The pieces I lost with N weren't very big, and were very sporadic, weeks appart, and I haven't lost any for quite a few weeks now which is good! I totally get you with the ignorances is bliss, I feel it can be quite an overload sometimes looking out for signs....
YAY Sally for finding us!! I am just amazed how your family has gone for the last 10 weeks, I can completely see why Sal would be so exhausted by now, how long do you think they will let her go? 34 weeks is almost here, such a completely awsome effort to go the extra 10 weeks, it has made such a difference to your little boy!!! We bought DD home at 35 weeks 1 day, and I can tell you it was pretty bloddy scary, but I know that this time it wouldn't be so scary, having been there before! I hope the BA isn't too far away, and that your little man's stay in hospital would be short! Thankyou so much for sharing your journey I can imagine it must have been so very difficultbut truely inspirational!!!
Csab your appointment list is like mine! It can be crazy and overwhealming, your pregnancy seems to be flying by so quickly to me now! I hope the thyroid medication does what it needs to, my mum had hers out halfway through her pregnancy with me, I can't remember which way it was, but it is sooo much better they can treat it with meds now!
Hi Glamchic and welcome to BB, I can't answer your specific questions in relation to BMI, but like Black_Rose has said a lot of hospitals have changed their policies, on what constitutes a high risk pregnancy, I hope that you can keep your BP under control with healthy eating and exercise
Well I am off to enjoy my pregnancy for the evening, take care xxoo
girls!
for an uneventful next few weeks for all of us!
