approaching dds gestation

Just 5 wks until i reach the gestation when i had my dd. Starting to panic now slightly. Last time we just had dd so spending time at hospital was easy. Not sure how we would cope with dd as well.



On the otherhand i cant get my head around being more than 32wks pg. Seeing consultant at 28 weeks but at 12wks she said as there was no apparent reason then if im going to go early then there is nothing theh can do.



Panicing aswell as i approach 32wks about wether i will make it to the hospital. With dd may waters went then i was pushing after just 1hr. So with second labours being faster im freaking out hoping its going to happen when dh is home as if he is in work then he may miss it all. Having baby at home us one thing but if its prem again then a whole new ball game.



Argh just freaking out big style

    Oh gosh im not suprised your starting to panic! Just try relax as much as you can, i know its easier said than done especially when you've got a liitle one a home with you!. Also try to remember that each pregnancy is different and this little one might be happy to stay put!

    Does you other half work far way from where you live or the hospital?? Im sure he'll be ready and waiting should the time come early and do everything he can to be with you!! Try not to worry too much, why don't you mark off every extra day this little one stays in compared to your dd (kind of like a milestone day).

    i wish i could say more to help, i will keep my fingers crossed that your little one stays put until due date x x

    Thanks. Dh works about 25 miles away but doesnt drive so goes by train. It would take around 1hour to get back to hospital due to them running 2trains per hour. As i was pushing after just 1hour of contractions so this will be a tight fit.
