Quick update - Im home, with instructions to rest. After 2 lots of morphine, a bazillion tablets of Nefidepine and a patch (of some drug thats similar to nefidipene) the contractions havent stopped but Im not dialating (YET - my cervix is low and soft) soooooooo they let me out. Ive had 4 rounds on the ctg machine showing 6-8min apart strong contractions but bubs is doing beautifully so thats a plus. Amniotic fluid test was - but Im wary of it being accurate as Ive started leaking again. Ripley is 3/5 engaged in my pelvis already, little booger didnt get the memo that 2nd etc babies dont have to engage until labour, if at allOB is optimistic we'll make it to 35wks but I am not. We'll see who's right.
Dh is trying to get the next 2wks off before he's due to go on scheduled holidays because if he doesnt it means I cant rest and then we could end up having bub sooner than we'd like.
At this stage my OB would be suprised if I go past 37wks, but we're keeping my scheduled induction at 38wks if I make it that far (to put me out of my misery - his words lol). We're aiming to make it to 35wks when we'll stop the meds and let nature take its course (whatever that is). So I have atleast 2 weeks to keep him in there.
That said my contractions are worse this arvo and I still think my waters may have broken even though the test they did Monday said no because Im leaking some more. I'll keep Kell or Shell updated at all times so if I disappear again, one of you will get an sms with info!
Thanks for thinking of me I really appreciate it! Definately not my idea of fun (and poor Jett is not coping very well with all the changes) so no more babies for me as my OB has said it will only be worse and more dangerous each subsequent baby and Im not willing to put our lives at risk.
I hope your all well![]()
