Hi everyone!
I haven't been in in forever, but now I've finished work and have some more time and decent internet connection at home!
Congrats on all the new PG! Great to see, FX for a happy and healthy 9 months!
I haven't read everything yet, but I will hopefully manage it and do persies later.
AFM: Well things haven't exactly gone as planned for me! I ended up in emergency with shocking abdo pain SUnday week ago. We were worried about the placenta abrupting, but all good. Unfortunately though, a routine fetal monitoring picked up an 'oddness' with our babies heart...Nothing to worry about they said, probably just a dud machine. 7 midwives and my OB later, they thought they better try an ultrasound to see what was going on. OB said for some reason baby's heart beat was 67, although he could occassionally pick up an echo of 129...So off we were whisked for a specialised ultrasound and found out our baby has a condition called 'Fetal Heart Block' which means only the first part of the heart beats properly and the second part only beats every second time. So I spend a week in hospital becasue it can get worse very quickly, but our strong little girl is remaining steady so far. I got to come home for the weekend and we see the paed heart specialist today. We are remaining positive, she has a good chance of survival but will probably need a pace maker as soon as she is born. I have had to change hospoutal so my birth plan is out the window, but we are in a hospital with a NICU now.
It's all a bit overwehlming at the moment, considering everything has been great up till now.
