Oh hun this sucks so much!!! Big huge hugs and lots of prayers are coming your way!
Oh man.... I can't believe how much you have been through. I think that when Flicker arrives earthside he will be a very happy baby who sleeps a lot and never cries :lol:
Lots of hugs for you Beema :hug:
Ahhhh! C'mon universe!!! Send some good news, please!!
Got all my bits crossed for ya... so sorry you're going through such a traumatic time. :comfort:
ah man. :hug: hope you are holding up ok considering the barrage of blows you and flicker have had to face in the last weeks.
mebbe put out a thread asking if other lovely ladies have had to deal with a prolapsed uterus? i am sure that there are some girls with wisdom and insight that have travelled this path before...
:hug: again. thinking of you guys xx
Sending lots of hugs and prayers your way xo
Ohh No Beema hun, I am sending lots of sticky sticky vibes, healthy vibes and loads of strength vibes. I am so sorry you are facing yet another hurdle. Know I am thinking of you hun. I am so glad you got into contact with your OB. Hang in there hun, and know we are all here holding your hand. :hug::pray:
:hug: :hug:
Beema, you are in my thoughts darl, I just wish I could say something to make the hurting stop but I think mainly just hugs are what is needed right now :hug: :hug:
Oh darling woman - thinking of you so much & hoping that this gets better. :hug:
Mixed news for you at least flicker is hanging in there, you have another fighter on your hands. Hope you can get some relief from it soon.
:hug: babe.
I was wondering why i wasn't getting any notifications or anything - i could have sworn I had subscribed to keep up with you. :redface:
I'm so sorry this is all happening. Hopefully things will start improving for you with physio :hug: babe. Hang in there. xxx
:hug:
Oh darling, how much more do you have to go through. :( I am so sorry it's such a harrowing journey for you.
Thinking of you and sending you all my love and strength as always. :hug:
Thankyou so much girls :grouphug:
I am glad I did see my OB as I wasn't sure if it really was something amiss or not, I was thinking surely there couldn't be something else. Seriously how many more complications do I need to have, it just seems so unfair.
It wasn't so bad this morning, I have been doing bits and pieces but with good rests inbetween, but by evening it feels like my insides are falling out :o which I guess they are, so I guess I have to rest up more :(
Cassius, I think I will start that thread, I would love to know what others have done to try and strengthen the muscles and things they have avoided.
I feel like I am going to become a real burden on my family and friends, I am so independant and to be told I can't be is taking some getting used to :redface:
Vic u aren't a burden!!! Next time I'm in SA ( will be there in sept if nit sooner) we def need to meet up so I can give u a big hug and tell u in person how strong you are!!!
oh hun :hug: I just saw this...haven't been on BB lately. I hope you are okay! Thinking of you...lots of :hug: Rach xx
Would definitely love to catch up :D:
Thanks Rach :hug:
Big :hug:
xoxo
Oh, Beema, what a rollercoaster ride you're having. I am sure your friends and family won't consider you a burden. If it were in any way possible, I'd be giving you what support I could IRL. Sending you lots of hugs and stickyvibes for little Flicker :hug: :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl: :hug:
Just want to send more :hug: Keep resting up chicky.
massive *hug* - hadn't talked to you in a couple of weeks and assumed it was all going well.. you will be one strong person by the end of all this!!! xoxoxoxox
hey sweet i have had a prolaps uterus in all 4 pregnacies. There is presserie rings you can use....please pm me ild be happy to share and talk huggles sweet :hug::
Vic I am sure your family and friends will be happy to support you and do absolutely everything you might need to bring little Flicker home safely.
Unfortunately I think you will be the one who finds it hard! Somehow I just don't see you finding it easy to just relax and let others take care of you and everything else :doh:
ps. Sunshine I have stopped receiving notifications from this thread too... odd :shakehead:
Oh beema, of all the people who 'deserve' an easy, long and glowing pregnancy it's you!
Hugs :hug: :hug:
Keep growing little Flicker, you have an awful lot of people praying for you little bub
:hug: there are no words Beema.........
hey vic,
we are thinking of u guys, hope everything is going as well as can b expected. make sure u keep resting as much as possible!
xxx
Thankyou for the :hug: and support.
I am really limited to how much time I can spend on my feet, and keeping anything to really short stints, yesterday was a better day, but today not as good, I am falling appart tonight, probably as I was home with DD and DH was at work, but SIL did come by for a few hours and helped me out so I could do a couple of errands and not take DD with me, as she can't climb into the car or into her car seat yet, just not tall enough, we are getting a little step that I can use to help into the car.
DH has been wonderful, Friday night we had dinner with a friend and spoke through everything and he said how scared he was on Thursday, he is being very helpful, making me rest, getting me to sleep in, picking up DD, putting her to bed getting her up, lifting things, taking stuff up and down the stairs for me. I can still do stuff I just have to do it sitting down, puts a new perspective on cooking food, making sure I have everything ready then sit down prep and cook, but it makes a big difference.
I also get everything together that I need for the day in one hit, nappies, spare clothes etc so that I don't go up and down the stairs all day. So lots of planning and forward thinking ;)
Hope you are going along ok as well kiwigirl :hug: it's been tough for both of us...
I have a thread here which has all my questions in it :D:
:redface: yes it is difficult for me to sit down so much, not lift and not achieve as much in a day, I don't know how I will keep doing it for months on end...:
Awww thanks hun:
i answered in your thread sweet.
Thanks for keeping us updated on how you are going Beema, I am so glad DH is helping you out as much as he can. Sending more hugs.
OB Appointment...
Um one good thing the rest not so good :(
Platelets went up :leap: my OB said for now, but I said let me celebrate this one good thing and she laughed and said yes indeed :D and the HR was 154, dropped quite a bit but completely normal so nothing to be concerned with there.
Not so good...
Not much fluid around Flicker, seems that we are heading for the opposite we had with DD which was too much amniotic fluid. There is a lot of stuff floating around in the fluid that is there as well, dead cells etc, which I guess is normal we just never saw it with DD.
Flicker is now feet down, we need Flicker to turn, my OB really wants that to happen sooner as with the lack of fluid and location of the placenta it isn't going to help the longer it takes. We really want a VB, as we all know how much better it will be for Flicker if we do.
My cervix has shortened by 1cm in two weeks :( She is worried that the BH's and cramps are making things start too soon. If it has shortened anymore she is putting me on Crinome cream (sp), to hopefully stabilise the cervix. I think from this that and activity around the cervix will make things worse, so a stitch may not be where we can go, but will wait and see.
Can I just say Crap :(
I have to go back in two weeks for another cervix length, if I get any more cramping or the BH's, and there is an increase in either I am to call straight away.
I am now booking into the WCH as well, as things aren't improving....
thats sucks big time hun :hugs: fingers crossed nothing escalates or gets worse.
sending u some more sticky vibes and remember, stay off ur feet! ur meant to be resting!
flicker- u need to keep cooking 4 several more weeks AT LEAST, stop stressing ur mummy!
:hug: :hug: :hug:
*holds *Beema*'s hand*
Right here with you Vic... it's going to be a long haul but I'm right here with you.
:hug: :hug: :hug:
big :hug: Beema xx
I'm obviously so not an expert on this particular issue, but how bad is it for flicker to keep playing head up at this stage? i would of thought that he/she would still be very much on the move for a bit longer yet...or is just the combo of it being with lower fluid levels? sorry for the ignorant questions.... :redface:
Flicker is a fighter! her/his heartrate is good and strong! (i reckon that should still be seen as a positive xx)...
hope that you are holding up today, this must be really intense having to deal with so much information and strategies. it sounds like your OB is really lovely and supportive and on the ball. :hug:
Im here holding your hand too hun, I am sending lots and lots of sticky and turning around vibes your way. I hope the water around bubs fills up to normal levels hun.:hug::hug::hug:
Sending big :hug: your way hun!!!
Big hugs :hug:
Come on Flicker, turn around & stay put!
:hug:
Thanks cmarfol, pixie, cassius and csab :hug:
The problem with Flicker being head up now is that there is less room for him/her now then there was 2 weeks ago, it is the combination of the reduction in fluid and the placenta is taking up so much room and goes over the septum in my uterus, so him/her basically has less than half of my uterus to move in due to the shape of it. She wants Flicker to be head down sooner as she doesn't think we are going to be making it far into the 3rd tri.:
I have just shifted the HR as well, as I completely agree that is a positive :D
Oh Beema I hadn't caught up on the latest developments... :hug: sounds like things are getting more and more complicated.
I really hope DH is continuing to be a great support and that you can lean on your IRL support network to help out lots. Must be so tough for you - I don't even really know what to say, but I am thinking of you and praying for you and little Flicker!
PS - I have to agree, Flicker is such a fighter... :hug:
Hey Beema, Your doing so well!! :hug:
Is there anything you can do (exercises) to try and turn bub now? Or do you just have to wait and see?
Thinking of you!!
Thanks Elocin, Fleur OP and Eng :hug:
I am going over to have a look on spinning babies to see if there is something there I can do, I have a physio appointment shortly so will ask her as well :):
