I'm okay. Nose dripping like a tap, but the spotting has stopped thankfully and baby is very active today. Will see what OB has to say about it tomorrow.
Had my ob appointment today. Seems the spotting "could" be something of an issue
Turns out I have a low lying placenta this time around. Currently completely covering the cervix. I can either spot again, which won't be so much of an issue, or I could have a complete bleed. If I do bleed, it's straight into hospital admittance to try and hang on to baby for as long as possible, staying there until baby can safely be born, blood transfusions for me if needed.
I'm not allowed to pick up DD or lift anything. Not allowed to fall over (had a giggle at that one). No sex.
Have already put a few things in place with mum. I drive a AWD, so I can't get away with not picking DD up to put her in the car, so if I need to go out, mum will be with me to help with DD. Unless DD miraculously learns to climb in and out of the car herself, but encouragement has yet to provide a result there. We're going to cook up on the weekends and freeze our meals so I just have to do the bare minimum during the week. DH will do the washing on the weekends and housework too I guess.
I feel really sad. DD's pregnancy was riddled with worry and "what ifs" and now I'm right back there. Seems I wasn't built to do this. The ob was great, he always is and said we're looking at worst case scenario, which I understand. But the fact that there has been spotting already has us all worried. Ob would love it if we got to 30 weeks, said he would be very comfortable delivering then, should it be needed. I'm hoping that we get through it all and deliver a full term baby, like DD ended up being. I don't have mum around from end of April until early June as she's away, so we've got that obstacle to get through as well.
Oh no PRMG I only just saw this. As the ob said, worst case scenario babe and it sounds like you have a lot of stuff in place ready to go. xoxox Can you try some kind of bribery to get DD into the car? Maybe make it some kind of game to get her in. Or you could hold her hand only while she climbs in like a 'big girl". Good luck hun and I hope you can put some other stuff into place that will never need to be used.
You poor sausage! Hopefully the step with your little one works and by the time your Mum goes away the problem also resolves itself or becomes less of an issue.
There is no way you were not built for this! your body is pregnant and has been doing amazing up until this point so dont ever doubt yourself! Like anything sometimes there are tweaks and issues that need to be ironed out but even the best machines in the world sometimes need servicing!
Hope all settles down in your world and your DD gets creative with her entry and exit from the car!
