Awww girls your posts are so encouraging. Thank you all so much, it really does make a huge difference. Your kind words always make me smile.
I'm feeling much better again now. I guess I'll have these moments and I accept that.
KAZBAH Yeah you're right & I know I'll just deal with it. And yes, the Mater is awsome. DH wants me to stay here even after 34 weeks cause they're so good
FLOWERCHILD Once again your post has given me some relief. Thanks so much for your encouraging words.
NICKERS No need to be sorry... Thanks for giving me the link to that site. It's really good to know there is that type of support out there. I probably would've stumbled across it anyway. I read your birth story, it's beautiful and encouraging
RENSTAR Yep, I think you're right. The reality of it just kinda set in. Much better now though
My darling DH came early today. They let him out of work an hour early so he could spend more time with me. How nice is that. He seemed alot more rested today. He was really tired yesterday. I think he's getting into a little routine now. He works up here in Brisbane so it's not too hard for him to get here. He's also gone to the local take aways and picked up their menus so it's easy for him to sort out his dinner. He's doing such a good job.
I seemed to have a medium fluid loss today. I'm praying that my body is still reproducing it at a good rate.
Bub is moving heeeaps. I'm pretty confident he's having a good time in there.
Hey Georgi - I can't believe it, I go to Melb for a week - come home and your in hosp!! I'll have to start keeping a closer eye on my Oct belly buddies... lol
Wow, you are being so strong, hang in there darl, sounds like your little man is still happy in there.
Thought I'd let you know - I met my new little neice while away, she is now 5 wks old - born at 31.5wks she's at home now and doing wonderfully. My SIL's waters broke (at 31.5wks) and she started contracting almost straight away, so they rushed her to hosp and she had 2 steroid injections before bub was born. Little Maddi was 4lbs born, and she is now 5lb4
Congrats on getting to 32wks! Now just try and sleep as much as you can
All the best darl
SNEAKY Thanks hun. I did see your thread about that. So glad she's doing great
HOLLYE Mmmmwwaaahhhh
I was having a great sleep last night until the midwife woke me at 2am to check my temp & BP... Grrrrr. I couldn't get back to sleep after that. Plus I tossed & turned for the rest of the morning. It doesn't matter, I'll have some naps today anyway.
I have that meeting today. At 1pm. Where some of the patients get together for support & to chat. I'm not real sure what to expect but hey, it's not like I've got much else to do.
Im 32+1 today, yay. It does feel like each day is a milestone. I'm still feeling lucky that I'll get to 34 weeks, maybe even a bit longer. I don't get many braxton hicks anymore so that should be a good sign.
Today is my 8th day since my waters broke. I'll feel much better once I hit the 14 day mark. The Ob at Pindara gave me 2weeks, but I'll prove him wrong.
TICK, another day down whoo hoo!!
yay proove that dr wrong! my OB said i COULD last 4 weeks but reckoned i would have bub the night i came in, i baked him for 5 days longer so felt good i did better than what he expected!
i went to one of those meetings when Nixon was just born in nicu, so you might get to meet some mums that have already had their bubs and others who are holding out each day like you. either way you'r all going through the same and its so good to have support like that from the ppl who understand the most.
The meeting was cancelled today. There were only going to be 3 of us but the others couldn't make it. They ended up introducing me to one lady who came in my room & we had a big chat. She's really nice. She's been in here for 3 weeks with Placenta Previa. She's also 32 weeks (33 on Friday) & is also from Pindara Hospital. She works close to where I live & she lives only 10mins away from my home. This is also her first baby & she is also having a boy. So we had plenty in common. She said her days have gone so fast & it doesn't feel like she's been here that long. But she also has lots of friends who live local so she's getting heaps of visitors. She'll be back to Pindara next Friday so at least I have a friend for just over a week lol.
I have been feeling off today. I can't explain exactly what it is, just off. I thought I'd been getting mild period pain too but the midwife said it could be ligaments, from everything stretching down there. Phew! I was wondering if it was the start of labour.
My sinus is still pretty stuffed up. I stopped taking the antihistamines cause they made me feel real drowsy & weren't doing much more. I have this nasal spray now which seems to have helped a tad. I'm told it'll take a couple of days to kick in.
DH has been to visit. He got here about 2.30pm & left around 7pm.
32wks + 2 days today.. Yay! Today is my 9th day since my waters broke. The Ob at Pindara said I WILL have this baby within 2 weeks. So the countdown, to prove him wrong, is on. 5 days to go. I guess that's a closer milestone to achieve. Then I'll focus on getting to 34 wks.
Hi there Georgie girl...... Sorry havent been on for a while. So proud of you and your little man hun, you both are doing really well. Have everything crossed that you do prove that Dr wrong. Have a lot of faith in you. Great to hear you have someone to chat with and relate to while in hospital and wonderful that you both come from the same area. We are all ing you on.
Georgi,
I have no doubt that you'll prove him wrong!
Hang on in there bubs!
Congrats on finding a friend who lives so close!
Keep your chin up, you've got all of us for life long friends, I'm sure each one of us wishes we could be there to keep you company!
Keep your chin up and look after yourself!

Hi Georgi, just wanted to pop in and wish you all the best. All that positive thinking and great care has gotten you to this point and I hope the next 5 days goes just as well.
