Best of luck Little.

Good luck today little

im off to London with my lovely friend to see Matilda, looking forward to it but am so tired I could do with a day in bed.

20+3

Thank you for all the well wishes.

Crap I think I might have sprung a leak. Had shower sat down to blow dry hair in the nude later I noticed a perfectly round wet mark, it doesn't feel or smell like urine.
If I'm leaking they wont do the stitch. I don't know if I should tell them.
But maybe I'm wrong and I do have such a weak bladder I can't even feel myself urinate?

What time is your scan?

Don't tell them straight away, see what they tell you, but ask to check also waters levels, say you are curious...

And could be just extra cervical mucus... i do get a lot in pregnancy...

2pm.
I won't tell straight away they do an abdo scan first to check fluids.
It seems to watery to be mucus but to thick to be urine.

even if it's waters, they can and do replenish themselves, at least you are already on bedrest... someone i know from my old birth group is now 32w and had pprom at 25-ish weeks... as she had her twins last time at 30w, this is the most pregnant she has ever been, even with pprom...

good luck, thinking of you

Little -tiny has said lots of good things. Hope you aren't panicking too much and this afternoon goes well. Will be thinking of you.

Hope it all goes well Little

Sorry but I don't know anything about what you are going through. Tiny seems to have given you some good advice :)

I hope your scan went well Little, I had the same at 8 weeks but after that little gush there wasn't any more loss of fluid.

How you doing little?

Thank you everyone for the concern.
As far as Drs are concerned no change, cervix looks good and fluid levels look good. I was quite willing to believe I was wrong but I'm sure I felt another gush later when I popped into supermarket to buy some bread.
So I'm pretty worried.

I know waters can replenish but the earlier they go the lower the chances of a Postive outcome. But when my waters went with DS (he was my pProms baby) and then with DD they have majorly gone. Poor DS didn't even have a sac left!
So I will be doing what I've always advised others drinking as much water as possible, bed rest and high dose Vit C everyday.
I ordered my DHA but it seems to be taking its time I will start that too straight away.

It was lady speculum rammer today (consultant was present too) doing the scan, seriously the woman shouldn't be allowed to be near fannies she's a liability. I noticed afterwards that she didn't press on my stomach like the professor to see if anything leaked out.
My next scan date is in 12 days. Hopefully things will be more clearer then or fine and I'm just stupidly paranoid.

So I'm going to be even stricter with bed rest, no armchair or desk rest its bed rest from now on. So glad we splurged out on a nice bed!

16+4

Ahhhh so angry with myself I have AGAIN forgot to ask about Progesterone.
Its the fact other than scans I have no proper sit down meetings with consultant and absolutely none with the midwives.

Bed, laptop, books, magazines, knitting...

Glad things seem OK... Fingers crossed

Glad things look good little :)

Glad it was good news little even if you cannot relax yet.

I was reading the other day that babies born at 22 weeks are now surviving when a few years back those born at less than 24 weeks only had a 1% chance of surviving and not having severe disability. It is so impressive what they can do now.

LIG There has been huge advances it neo-natal care even very recently. Which is why the more specialist units are now making more of an effort to save at 23 weeks even though they don't legally have too.
That said not all hospitals will my old hospital made it clear if DD was born even under an hour before 24 weeks they wouldn't help her. Hence the fight we had changing her due date that was 10 days wrong.

The main criteria is the baby must be minimal 500g and the Dr believes viable with basically no obvious disability.
This is why despite all the bad points about this hospital I'm sticking with it, it has one of the best neo-natal units in my region.

Now I've had a bit of a rest I'm feeling more postive and I now have bigger boobs that Jordan.

Ha ha! Glad things went ok Little. Enjoy that bed now.

Yes Lig a colleague's wife had their 2nd DD at 23 weeks about 6 years ago, born still inside the sac. Was in hospital several months but I believe doing fine now.

Tiny hope you get a peek tomorrow.

Anyone had a flu jab yet? Suppose should book that. Never had flu or the jab before but it seems to be advised.

I am going today or tomorrow. I have had jabs in the last 3 years and also had flu before so know how shit it is..
Basically the difference is if there was a million pounds on your doorstep and you wouldn't get up, it's flu...

I've had mine toucanet It was fine.

Feel so much better after a good nights sleep, I'm a stress sleeper the mire stress I feel the better I sleep.

I'm not having the flu jab its an easier decision when you spend the day alone in bed.
I have had the flu its dreadful.
At one point I was practically unconscious on the floor at work, dad boss came home stepped over me he really needed to get to bed he has a cold.
His 7 year old grassed him up to his mother the minute she got in the door from an international flight.

little ive had bosses come home from work and go to bed with a cold whilst I and charges are sat cuddled up on the sofa throwing up in bowls, nothing suprises me in this job anymore! Im glad yesterday went well and hope you can start to relax a bit soon x

I had my flu injection a couple of weeks ago, ive also had proper flu and really dont want it whilst pregnant, all I remember about that week is insisting that my wardrobe was the entrance to narnia and that bungle, zippy and george were the judges on strictly.

Glad that you are OK Little. Plenty of bed rest seems very sensible.

Has anyone stopped their childcare vouchers? I'm very confused whether I should stop it now or wait just till before I go on maternity leave? I'm only getting SMP and not company enhanced maternity pay so every penny counts for me!

DON'T STOP THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The company has to continue to pay them even when you are on SMP
