ooh Bella can't wait to hear your news today. Those weights aren't that far off my boys birth weights. if they do decided to bring them on they are at good weights and you have done soooo well.
Well had my clinic appt today which turned out to be very very frustrating!
The doctor i saw has only seen me once before and i'm not a huge fan!! He dismissed any issues with the growth discrepancy infact was dissmissive about most of my fears and questions (being a nurse i know i'm not always the easiest patient!) he then said see you in 2 weeks - what the! Firstly i thought i went to weekly visits from 34weeks second i thought they were inducing me at 36weeks (in 2 weeks?) and third i'm not happy going 2 weeks without monitoring given my little one hasn't gained much weight. I did however go to the appt in the hope that potentially i might get a date in the next week or so for delivery and i'm just so uncomfortable, bored and very very over it and hormonal that i was set off by his lack of interest or care. He then checked my bp which suprise suprise was elevated (i was on the verge of tears) I tried to explain to him that i get high bp with anxiety/stress and if left for a min it will come down (which is how all my other appts have gone) but once again he dissmissed that and sent me straight to pregnancy day stay for 4 hours of bp monitioring bloods and urine. He didn't even finish his consultation before walking me there and leaving me . The nurse was great and listened to my concerns i have asked not to be seen by him again and will be seen for monitoring Monday and clinic Friday so hopefully will get some better answers this week.
I know that the bubs are better off in me than having to go to the special care nursery but iv'e just had enough - i will calm down and begin to be rational - i'm off now to have a long bath and hopefully a good night sleep!
Sorry for the vent!!!!!!
ooh Bella, I agree with smithy I hate it when you go to a appointment and come out frustrated with no anwsers thank god for the nurses. Hopefully you get some answers this Monday or Friday. Dig your heels in and ask them if they have a date for you, Your little one proberly wont put on to much weight anymore he may do better in SCU then in your tum.
I had the boys at 33 weeks similar to your weights and I had them home 3 weeks later its not a bad time to have them if they have to come.
I will keep poping in to see how your appointments went
Well i am feeling much better after my breakdown on Friday and i'm trying to be positive - after all my boys will be here before i know it!
I spent 6 hours at the hosp yesterday for BP monitoring and they also did CTG monitoring. Bp remains slightly up but no need for medication atm - no protein in urine and bloods are all normal. Bubs seemed happy on the monitor - i even had a few contractions whilst being monitored!!
Babies have dropped further so i now am getting nerve pain in my groin!! Last night had some mild cramping and just felt very uncomfortable so DH and i went for a short walk - i let myself believe for 10min that MAYBE something was happening but no - i went to bed slept very soundly awoke at 4am to go to the toilet and was a little dissapointed .
Anyway what will be will be i have to go back to hosp for appt and more monitoring Friday but potentially roughly 10 more sleeps til induction?!
Take care everyone and give all my cyber neices and nephews lots of kisses!
Bella you are doing so well, they will be here before you know it and you will be so busy you will forget about the waiting time. Sleep while you can even though it is uncomfortable.
Just a very quick update from me.....
Last night i ended up in hosp as i was having lots of back pain and heaps of mild (2/10) braxton hicks contractions, my bp was also elevated. So after monitoring and an internal (cervix soft but only 1cm dilated) i was given some panadeine forte to see if things slowed/stopped..... Things slowed so i went home... conclusion pre/very early labour. So i then had my clinic appt today where it was decided to hold off on induction (which was due to be Friday) and see if i progress further. So plan is ultrasound and monitoring Tuesday and Friday assuming the growth discrepancy isn't worsening i will be left to "see what happens" I also need to keep an eye on my BP as i have confirmed pregnancy induced hypertension.
So i feel good - obviously it's 10 times better to go natural rather than induction and they seem to be keeping a close eye on me so hopefully everything will be ok.
So i am now trying all the natural things - curry, walking (although so much groin pain!), rasberry leaf, and maybe maybe if i can convince DH some SEX!!!!!!
