I’m ok thanks mma! On tenterhooks now though thinking it could happen any minute! ... got discharged on Saturday... still having contractions but not painful ones and I hadn’t progressed any more (I’m 3cm dilated, 50% effaced). I’m on bed rest until they are born now 😩... the doc said she‘d be surprised if I go past 34 weeks.... but they’re not worried about them coming early so that’s put my mind at rest. So it’s all just a waiting game now!
Eek!! Exciting and scary at the same time! I’m guessing your bags are definitely packed 😆
looks like your going to beat me to it, I can’t wait to see them 💕
Is hubby near by just in case? X
my hubby has an away meeting end of November and I’ve warned him as this is our last if I go into labour mine are all very quick ranging from 42 mins to 2 hours and he’ll be 1& 1/2 hours away! Suppose we can’t put there working lives on hold 🤦🏻♀️
Stay well rested hun that’d be my worst nightmare I can’t sit still and so much to prep!
Yeah sitting still for days and weeks on end is going to drive me insane!! But it is what it is!
No... hubby is still at our house on the mainland.... we live about 2 hours away from the airport and then he’d have to feet a 3 1/2 hour flight to get here. his bosses are unlikely to allow him to come yet as everything is so uncertain.... that’s what we’ve been told today anyway... so I’m preparing myself for the fact that he may not be here When they are born. My mum is here but if she were to come then my little boy would have to be there too and I don’t want him there when I’m in labor / delivering!
Well back to not knowing till the doctors get back round! Scan dopplers are normal but now my aminotic fluid has gone from 9.7 deepest pool to 3.1cm but I’m not leaking or wet so I’m confused and stressed waiting for more information 😥 he’s normally really active but since having the steroids he’s Ben quiet and she also put on my scan note baby heartbeat seen but no fetal movement which is likely down to low fluid. Just feel like I’m back in limbo hopefully the doctors don’t take hours to come see me
Oh Lucy poor you:( so long as baby has a good strong heart beat and you are being kept an eye on in hospital you are in very good hands. I’d be a nervous wreck so your doing well so far That’s strange that fluid is lower but not leaking? Ask lots of questions don’t sit wondering it will stress u out, get answers hun.
Are you on a monitor to keep an eye on him? The heart beat one they strap around your tummy that will also check for movement. If I go on they leave me strapped to it!! Like this one ⬇️
Gives such good reassurance 😊
thinking of you hope you get answers very soon xxx
Rah there monitoring me every 3 hours ave been since Friday I just want to know if I’m going to be delivering him or what it’s so frustrating not knowing I so just want to go home and see the kids. Obv he’s my main concern right now but if he’s not at risk and is ok then i Want to go home and then come back for two weekly monitoring but now I’ve got a feeling there gonna make me stay 😩 I tell you this baby stuff you just can never predict what’s going to happen
No Louise my bloods were all normal. could be age being 41 that slowed the process down?
My personal opinion if I look at the facts I fell pregnant every 3-4 cycles without fail including my later loss and my chemical pregnancies.
My last pregnancy ( b4 this one) was stubborn and wouldn’t come away:/ Baby died at 8 weeks ( confirmation from tests was a chromosomal disorder) at 12 weeks my placenta was still growing! I was taken in for a D&C as they were concerned about infection.
I had a lap n dye test after 18 months of no luck from that D&C it confirmed my remaining Fallopian tube had been kinked due to the last operation:/ They just said with age and one tube which was kinked it was just a 50/50 chance I might conceive!! Well I could of guessed that!!
I tried ovulation boosters ( Tamoxifen days 2-5 of my cycle) but ovulation wasn’t an issue it was just a little added help! I came of those for a 2 month break I literally was going to make the call to my specialist and after basically giving up it happened!! Believe me it was a shock.
As I’ve said b4 Ive fallen pg at 41 with only 1 tube which is damaged and 1 ovary! It was the acceptance I think of it won’t happen and hubby was away that cycle when I had a positive opk! We had nookie 2 days before my positive and the day after when he came back I also ovulated crazy early on cd7-8 so just thought well there’s always next month haha here I am 32 weeks in 😊
I really believe it was the D&C I’ve had 3 in total it’s not great for your body I think mine had had enough! It obviously took 2 years to heal properly even though my periods are every 25-28 days without fail! I bleed fairly light to average for 4-5 days and ovulation was like clockwork.
Emj i had a weird af this month but im counting af as starting 16ish days ago ..so that fits in with ovulation on day 16 which is what its always been. I did the cheap test yesterday morning and the digital in the evening so maybe I only had short surge?x
Hello ladies! I’m in the two week wait. I Have tenderness in my boobs But only on the sides and only when I touch. I had some mild cramping a few days back in my lower stomach. Yesterday I felt so nauseous while trying to sleep, a little puke actually came up. I have a bit of a foggy brain, and I could not stop eating yesterday despite feeling full Once I finish eating then within half an hour I’m wanting something else.
i feel like my brain is playing tricks on me again. I’m only 6 days dpo I can’t imagine it’s actually anything. What do u ladies think?
Well I’ve got to stay they let me home for 2hrs to see the kids and find my head but I’m back now and there delivering him Wednesday well starting induction which I’ll be 35 weeks exactlY. Got to go visit the nicu tomorrow
Aww Lucy that’s fab they let you home to see kids hun they can’t be worried at all then otherwise they wouldn’t have let you. Just think 2 more sleeps and your little bundle be in your arms and you’ll all be home as a family before you know it xxx
deedee it really is a waiting game hun and our brain tends to play tricks on us when we want something so bad but your symptoms sound promising not to get your hopes up lol I had a vvfl at 9dpo on internet cheapie but was much clearer on frer. So all I would say is if you do see the faintest of lines on internet cheapie to go buy yourself frer and good luck hun xx

Nothings easy SW2 so hard to plan a birth so to speak unless they are a planned delivery!
I would never have my kids in the delivery room! Hubby only with me,even my mum I would find weird 🤣
Lets hope our births pan out ok and our hubbys can attend 🤞
😊

I know Lucy just what I said to SW2 you just can’t plan things it doesn’t work out that way🤦🏻♀️ These babies aren’t giving us an easy ride are they 😆
🤞🤞🤞 for you that doctors give you the all clear but if you can’t feel movements with low fluid they may want to keep you in as a safety measure xxx
Thinking of you Lucy xx
just out of interest MMA - did you ever find out why it took you such a long while to conceive?
No Louise my bloods were all normal. could be age being 41 that slowed the process down?

Theres my theory hun 🤔
Fingers crossed it‘ll happen for us all! It’s so inspiring hearing your story MMA. Not long to go now!!!
lucy, I hope you‘re ok. Thinking of you.
sw2, how many weeks are you now? Have they said anything About induction? Are they happy to leave you when you’re 3cm dilated?
bex, I’m confused as to why you don’t have a smiley on the digital ones. What cd are you again?
louise, how are you?
xxxx
