May 2013- boys , girls or the unknown? Over half way there!

[scooby26]

Hi all, new had for may 2013!

10 I hope that you have already gone in to get checked over.My braxton hicks have never been regular but then I never really had them until this pregnancy so not sure what I'm looking for.Fingers crossed it is just them and that any scans show you're continuing to heal.

I'm at work today and shattered already.We have half term here next week so ill probably find it hard entertaining my other two when all I want to do us sleep

Hope everything is ok 10 x

Morning,,

10- hope ur ok. I had tons of braxton hicks with DS and they were frequent and regular- my DH could actually see the contractions in my tummy! We made it to 39 weeks though but I was signed off for a month due to the BH as they wer concerned I could be a sign of ISP of early labour as so frequent and regular. Essentially BH are fine bu defo get the, checked ou especially with your history xx

So.... In new house!!!! Yay!!

Kinda have some organised rooms... Sky man here as I type and BT failed to show yesteay for the second day... They had to come and fit lanline for orange and have just not turned up twice despite promises and no calls.... Not impressed..!

Sadly it looks like DS has woken up with chicken pox!

10- crossed posts!

Completely understandable to be scared and overwhelmed but you have great care by the sounds of it... And you get to meet your baby very soon... Yay! I'm sure all will be fine- lots of weeks have passed since your scares and nearly 28 weeks is very very good odds. Thinking of you all xxxx

Oh 10 how scary for you but you are in the right place and it sounds like they have it all under control. I am keeping everything crossed for you xx

10 good luck ((hugs)). Are you happy with the hospital's SCU? If not, would they move you back to Liverpool Women's? Don't be afraid to ask questions/ insist on seeing a consultant/ kick up a fuss.

Is there anyone there with you?

You'd feel overwhelmed, underprepared and scared if you were 40 weeks too (but probably less so).

My mum was less than 2lbs when she was born in 1951, she was considered a bit of a miracle back then. Now it's an everyday thing for a baby to be born at this stage, hospitals know how to look after tiny ones.

Take care and good luck

Good luck 10. I echo what the others have said.

I know a fair few preemies including a 24 an 28 weeker. All of them very happy stories. Has to be a good sign : )

We'll all be thinking of you and checking in regularly. fit you and bubba 10

Sending all the positive thoughts I can muster 10, I can imagine how daunted you must be but I'm sure that little one is a fighter and will be as strong as anything !

Thoughts are with you 10 and fingers and toes crossed

10 great you have your family there, poor DH but sounds like he is being looked after too. Glad you are local to home, must be nice to know you are not far.

Are you able to get any rest or is it all go?

Glad you're happy with the hospital and have people around to support you. Sending positive vibes your way. Hope you've got your camera!

10 so glad you are in hospital and can be looked after. It must be so difficult for you right now but as everyone says, the odds are good at this stage and is brilliant that you have had steriod injections over the past few weeks :)

Take care and will be thinking of you [tea]

10 sounds like you are being taken good care of in the hospital. I hope it all goes well over the weekend. Will be thinking of you and your LO

sorry x-post 10. Am so happy you have your camera and are all organised. Despite it not being the optimum of circumstances you are going to meet your baby this weekend and that is very exciting! Good luck! :)

10 Good luck hope all goes well.Are you 28 weeks now.Its good that labour has slowed as sounds like they have plenty of time to help him with steroids.He sounds like a very strong baby anyway.

Keep us posted

Good luck 10 and mini10 sending you lots of positive vibes, xxoo

Scooby Yay for the house move.Sounds like all is going well.Aside from the BT man.I can't stand BT have always had trouble.

I get Youview in a few weeks am getting rid of sky have saved about £40 with new package.Which of course is a huge help with me not going back to work for a little while after baby arrives.

10 I've got everything crossed for you, good to hear you're bring well taken care of. Is it possible they might let you have a look round SCBU so it's a bit less daunting when LO arrives?

I wonder how often the rest of us will be checking on here for the rest of the weekend!

My goodness 10 how are you feeling or is that a silly question right now, sorry.

Anyway, I am thinking of you all the time, I really am keeping everything crossed for you xx

Good luck 10 will be thinking of you and tiny 10 all evening. xxx

Good luck 10 thinking of you.You are in the best place and I'm sure everything will go well.
