I am planning to not have to go back to the WCH, so will avoid meeting that OB again Although once we have bub at term I think I should send her a note to say - gee look I had a FT bubba!!! Even though you gave me no hope that it was even possible
It has really made me appreciate my OB even more, even though I already did as she was brilliant throughout my pregnancy and beyond with DD and has been brilliant with this pregnancy. She hasn't committed that we will get further, but with the extra monitoring originally we were going to go to weekly from 26 weeks, but we will see what happens as the pregnancy progresses as to whether that changes. But she is already putting in extra observations etc, a likely a Cervical Suture @ 12 weeks we should definitely get further. We are certainly aiming for full term, and it is attainable, but at the moment we need to get through the next few days then weeks, so one day at a time.
We got through the night without any cramps and a gushes of bright red blood, which was fabulous, and now just the constant brown discharge which may go on for weeks, as there is a lot to be expelled. But now that the sac has ruptured, it should just flow out gently.
Will get my HCG results today, so looking for a nice rise, I am not sure how much it should really rise from 32,000 after about 80 hours, as I don't think the doubling really happens now?
