Hey,

Was just thinking about you and baby, so I thought that i'd drop you a line. Hope you both are okay and healthy. Let me know how your doing if you get a chance to go on a computer xxx

ukdutypaid - Thursday, 22 May
hey honey, ahve missed you..x.x.x hope u and bubs is doing ok, the fact that u ahvent been on for ages is a good sign , means baby is still in ur tummy keeping warm. x.x.x

Just in case you find a computer at the hospital, I just wanted to drop you a message. I'm sure you'll be bored out of your mind in no time but I guess this is what you have to do for a healthy baby. I'm only 2 weeks away from my scheduled c-section at 37 weeks. I found out that most complete placenta previas in the U.S. are delivered at 35 weeks, it's insurance policy stuff. I'm now 35 weeks and hoping I'll make it 2 more weeks with no bleeding.
I was wondering if you have a lot of pelvic strain? It is getting so hard for me to get up or even walk sometimes, I feel so sore, like I've been doing gymnastics all day long. I wonder if it's because of the previa? hehe
Also, is your baby transverse? Mine is and her head is around the tip of my ribs and her feet are on the other side of my ribs, so they feel quite dandy these days.

Now that you are at the hospital, what will you be doing? Are you on bed rest and has the bleeding subsided?

My c-section cut is going to be the regular bikini incision and I was wondering why yours was so different? My doctor explained that the position of my previa is more internal and not near my abdominal muscles it's more around my cervix/back area. So it will be a standard cut and the placenta should be easy to remove. Perhaps you could let your doctor know that?

But whatever you have to do, once you see your little girl you'll forget all the things you had to go through to finally meet her.

If you ever get to read this during your stay, write back, I'm always checking in on this site now that I know your ordeal.

I'll definitely keep in touch with you and let you know all that is going on.

Hang in there, sooner than later you'll be a mom! My thoughts are with you.

Kelli

I'm ready to pop! I am running out of room for my little tenant. LOL I wish you the best. Maybe they will let him in there just for the few minutes so he can get it on video. That's just mean of them!


Rachel918 - Saturday, 17 May
Hey hun. Well I Hope everything goes the ok for you and I wish you the best. I know it must be a really scary thing, but they are trying to protect both of you. -i read one of your last comments. Do they even allow video in an OR or even your hubby since you will be under? Im sure they will bring the baby right out to him and they will both be waiting for you whne you wake up. Good luck, HUG:)


CCQ - Saturday, 17 May
Will they let your husband in there? He could at least video her coming out for you. Best wishes!!!


ukdutypaid - Saturday, 17 May

take care my sweet


boomum - Saturday, 17 May
I'm gutted for you that you'll have to be asleep for your section! I agree with Ukduty though,I think you should push for an earlier delivery.....5 weeks in hospital is no joke! Anyway,hope all goes well...get hubby to keep us posted x


ukdutypaid - Friday, 16 May
thats my lady, u give them hell, lol
and ur right ya know about the 37 week mark, but i think ur doing the right thing, ask lots of questions and make them, make things very clear.
maybe she will come early on her own, our bodies seem to know whats needed...

well honey, can u take a little tv in there and a dvd player or something, i would, lol

i cant get around that they want to keep u till 39 weeks when its such high risk, maybe he got it wrong, i would def ask, cus 3 weeks is alot easier to handle... and not that far away...
see u knew deep down to get that nursery ready...

:)
lease take care..

if u get bored and ever fancy texting, my number is 07800519467

im not veyr good at speaking, but i can text like lightening, lmao


ukdutypaid - Friday, 16 May
oh my god, honey, i am so sorry, thats so awful, omg, i cant even begin to imagine how u must be feeling, i could put up with everything if it meant being awake for the birth, guess im not helping.... so u havent even got any good news.... well ive got an idea, u kick up a fuss, everday and drive them mad, they will want you out early...:)
hows ya chap taking it,
oh babes im so sorry i wish i was there to help you out in anyway i can.
so whats the hospital like, will it be bareable? do they have services u can use, like phones, internet , things at hand and stuff,
i bet its gonna take a while to sink in, or even get over, thats if u will, maybe when the babys here everything else will be forgotten.
please take care... u make them nurses life hell, lol


ukdutypaid - Thursday, 15 May
yeah ive put my wii fit away for abit, cant handle it when it says ive gained AGAIN, lol
things have slowed down with me and jason, he came to martial arts one evening and just keot touching me and holding my hand which doesnt sound bad i know, but i have a cold and feel uncomfortable and very very clostraphobic, so i told him as he obviouslu ntoiced it. and then he was sulking por being moody and it made me worse and i told him i just dont have time for that kinda stuff, ive got 3 kids... dont need another one.... well nearly 4, lmao/

he is being very very patient but he needs to realise its gonna get worse,lol

party is the 7th of june, ive bought prizes and some toy medals... a few bits for the freezer. ive got lots of helpers from my oldest sons school so all we need is great wether, lol

let me me know how the appointment went
did my GT test, 2 hours of sitting in the waiting room.... went quite quick, expected to feel dizzy and everything, was just hungry and cranky from not eating and being up since 3, so as soon as i had my 2nd lots of bloods done i went cake shop and bought 2 very very bad cakes, they tasted good, now i feel quite funny, so gonna have my coffee and walk it off on the way to work... which my son is coming as he has a day off due to being ill.... think he can go back tomorrow, lol

anyways let me know how it goes later..x.x.


ukdutypaid - Wednesday, 14 May
were in cornwall... 10 miles in any direction is a beach, not that we go, think when u live so close u tend not to, lol

sounds like they werent helping ur situation chick, what a nightmare.... and omg, im gonna start praying that a general is not needed, omg ... that wont happen, when it does its only in very extreme circumstances, and very far and few between. theres emergency c-sections anyways, so... ignore them, omg i want to call them and give them hell for you.

bought some prizes for the party, will help take my mind off being pregnant and oh my... i am def feeling pregnant lately.

one woman asked me today 'if was i like this with all of mine' i said what do you mean .. she said 'so big'
ahhhh, lmao.... seeing as my last one was twins, then yeah...x.x.x.x.x

and then my son was moaning cus i wouldnt take them to the beach after school,, omg i went nuts.... i explained how im doing the party for him and all this other stuff, i think it got thru, cus when i mentioned about them having a birthday cake each, he said he didnt want one to save me some money, omg, how do kids know how to pull ur heart out and then stomp on it, lmao
