ooh! 3 little girls!! how adorable. one of my best friends had a little girl on Friday and I was SO excited. I have been dying to buy tutus and fairy wings
Well, I'm back in hospy again. I was having yucky BH last night - up to 12 an hour and just wasn't sure what was normal, now that I know I have an irritable uterus. So this morning I called my ob clinic and they told me to come up to the preg assessment unit - again - to check out what was going on.
Well, it turns out I have been in labour!! Very early stages - no actual dilation yet. But effacement and well, lots of contractions. So, have been given the steroid shots for the boys' lungs, and am on meds to stop the contracs, which I am pleased to say are working a treat. I was getting up to 16 an hour at one point today, and am now down to 4. So it's brilliant news.
I have no idea what this means now for the rest of my preg - will have a better chat to the ob tomorrow
oooooh my gosh Jenc look at how fast things can change hey even though you were on bedrest they must really want to come hey. Well I guess hospital is a good place for you to be at the moment hope your feeling better and those little boys stay put for a little while longer. Take care and keep us posted.
Jen i'm glad to he\ar things may be settling down.. I hope they stay put for a little longer but still if they do come i'm sure they will be just fine - your in the best place - keep us posted. xxxx
Azza - so still in hospital hey Any plans to get home or do you think they will make you stay? At least as well your also in the rigth place and it sounds like you are being a very good patient!
AFM - went for a check up today bp was all good urine culture was clar still trace protein on dipstick but they wern't to concerned. I'm feeling so much better toady yay! Will continue to take it easy. Feeling lots of movement - well actually none so far today but thats kinda normal - i normally feel them most in the afternoon and evening DH has felt thwm now too!!!!
Bella im glad to hear its clearing up is there anything they can do for the protein? yay for the BP going down and yay for your DH feeling those little movements
Jenc how you going hope bubbies are playing nicely.
AFM I will proberly be here till 28 weeks my OB came in yesterday and said she doesn't want me to go home for 2 reasons 1 is obviously my cervix and she doesn't want me to go in to labour at home. 2 is they saw that the big twins cord is very close to little twins head which is near my cervix and if my waters were to break at home the cord could get stuck between my cervix and little twins head. I said that is fear enough so I think it is a good Idea I stay.
I just need more thigs to do now so I am getting my DH to buy some photo albums and get all of our loose photos together which would take me a couple of days. I also got a valco rocker off ebay yesterday for $40 it retails between $90-100 it looks near new and the person lived up the road so she dropped it off straight away I have also found a twin book on ebay so hopefully I will win and thats another thing I can read if you ladies have any ideas let me know the more the better. Sorry about the novel.
Azza - sounds like a very good idea to me . You must be missing DD and DH so much - is your mum still here helping you out? I can't imagine having another child to look after whilst carrying twins!
Jen - hope labour is still holding off!
AFM - feeling good today. I went over to visit a girlfriend and picked up some more second hand clothes. Got some washing done and even walked the dog!!! I must be nesting and subconsciously thinking i may end up on bed rest cause i have this urge to get things done - went and bought some new PJ'S, car is getting serviced tom and i have organised my oven to be fixed!!!!! As for things for you to do ... photo album great idea - do you have an up to date telephone/address book? I will think about it and hopefully come up with some ideas for you!
Take lovely ladies and keep us posted.
Hi Bella you know what I would get as much done now while you can do it. Alot of people told me to hold off as long as I could and now I can't do half the stuff I wanted to do. I miss being home with them just having tea and sleeping in the same bed as DH little things like that but I know its not for ever. Phone book is a good Idea thanks. I want some new PJ's to I was going to send my DH out to found me some But no sure if he would take the time to look for some nice ones might have to send my mum out to look. Glad to hear you feeling better
Hi Azzrenae, I've been lurking, reading your thread daily with interest. How bored you must be cooped up in hossy! Are you on facebook? I was going to suggest facebook UNO - the old childhood card game, it's rather addictive and helps pass time!
Glad to hear all is going well with everyone on this thread and praying you all hold out for much longer yet!
hi lovelies!
well, I am in here for the long haul now too. Saw ob yesterday and he said that I just need to wrap my head around the fact that I need strict bedrest, in hospital, until the boys are born.
So, it is what it is, I suppose.
Azz, I too am wracking my mind for things to keep my occupied.
I am going to write up my own baby log book - you know, to write down nappies, feeds, sides, sleeps, moods, meds, etc. I know you can buy them, but it will give me something to do.
I'm also reading all my fave online newspapers, mags and blogs.
And I'm also writing a little weekly letter to these boys. DH takes a snap of my belly each week, and I write a sweet little note to go with it. It's so lovely actually.
I'm also writing list after list after list of stuff to do and having fun delegating tasks to family and friends.
I'm a bit sad that I won't be able to have my baby shower - I spent hours making beautiful invitations and decorations and organised the menu and even bought the champers! So, instead, I'll have a 'welcome to the world little ones' afternoon once we're all home and settled. That will be just as lovely.
It's DH's birthday on Sat, so I feel terrible that I can't do anything nice for him. I'll get someone to bring up some cake and a candle and we'll have a little room party.
Azz, have you been to visit the special care nursery? The midwives here are organising a time for DH and I to go and have a proper tour - they'll explain to us what all the equipment is and be able to show us some little ones of various gestational ages so we have more of an idea what to expect.
Bella, sounds like furious nesting to me!! Pls take is eeeaaassssyyyy. You don't want to overdo it. But I do agree with Azz too - there are just a few little things still to do, and I just presumed I had another 6 or so weeks to do them, but now I'll have to ask others to do it instead, which makes me feel bad. But do be careful - it really is a bit scary not knowing exactly what's happening, or when it's all going to start.
