Placenta previa - 36 weeks and in hospital!

[cmm]

Hi, it's been suggested that I start a new thread on this!!! Am now 36 weeks preg and been in hospital since 34+4 after first bleed with pp. They aren't apparently massive bleeds by previa standards but still scary!!! First one came in from home via ambulance in middle of night, second was after an ultrasound whilst in hospital and third was the other night again whilst in hospital. Be interested to hear of other peoples experiences on this. It's so frightening isn't it! It's when it first starts to bleed that it's frightening, nit knowing how much. Staff in hospital are being really good, especially when I bleed.

Been told that they want mr to stay in hospital till c section at 39 weeks, however this depends on how much I bleed and how I and baby am. Reason for 39 is the clinical NICE guidelines for paediatrics.

Am so up and down emotionally, one min getting head round it, next crying loads. Have a little girl 4.5 years. Her delivery was fine. Had SPd then and still do have now but having the Bowen technique for that this time, privately with a midwife, and it seems to be helping the Spd a little.,

Any tips on how you coped with your pps. Find it so difficult at times. Thanks for all support xx

Lol! Just laughing at your food posts!!!!! What day's your weigh in deo?! We could share and motivate! Cn you looked lovely in those pics I saw before!!! And you were pregnant then! Don't worry about your weight! I think I am older then you both, I am 38, and had just over three stone to lose, now just over two!
Sorry haven't poster for a while, been at Physio but been having more pain on off though I do think it's improving but they think I might need referring to another Physio team so am a bit disillusioned again! It is better than it was but still nowhere near what it should be I feel.
On a positive ted slept 730-4 without a feed!!!!!! How are you two? X

Wow!!!! 7.30 - 4!!!! Amazing!!!!!!! Well done you!!!!

Talk about being passed from pillar to post!! At least there trying, and can admit when things aren't working! Unlike mine! I've been going for 6 months now every two weeks and every time she still asks which side it is! And, oooh it's still not moving is it! Aaaaahhhhh!!

Your slightly older than me yes cmm, I'm 31 in march! Thanks for the complement, I love my pics, I'm so proud of them! But when your not pregnant, you really see how much you've put on! I still get alot of pain with my pelvis! Everyday it aches and then get bouts of sheer stabbing pains! It's so depressing! Your doing so well in dropping your weight! I envy people who can diet! I'm soo serious when I say, not a chance in hell can I watch what I eat!!! I m healthy, it's just snacks! Still eat a lot of fruit though!

Well, Ewan's having a to do! Been to bed, been awake then till now crying! So milk, anbesol and calpol and back to bed zzzzzzzzzzx

Weigh in on a Monday Cmm . I have 2.5 stone 2 lose . So we will c . Cn is the baby , I'm 34 , so better today on the hunger front but v tired . I'll pick up soon & I love love love coffee & haven't had any . Ted is doing fab Cmm well done , worth it ???

Well good news cn about your tests , hope they sort u out quickly x

Oh cn so sorry hadn't mentioned your test results, for some reason your message hadnt shown last time i messaged. You sound to be coping well, really admire you. When do they think they'll operate. Xxxx

And I didn't mention both of u two hip problems ! Sorry , I feel for u both, custom zimmers all round ! I don't know much about it at this point but can imagine yout frustration . I haven't asked u Cmm if u will have any more ??

Oooohhh yes cmm,,,,, more?????

Not sure when they'll operate, I see the gyne middle of march, I'll know more then!!

Very frustrating with hip! Struggling to exercise and loose weight! I guess I'll have to take up new exercises involving bedtime!!

Ha ha u crack me up !

Oh my goodness my minds going mental!!! :( :(

Morning!
Pelvis is a pain, well literally and annoyingly!!!! He's been worth it though!! Won't be having more though. Can't believe hes my last though as he's just fab! I daren't risk my pelvis after two pregs with spd and also it has taken so much longer to sort out this time, I wasn't having probs like this after first preg! Also my hubby is 50 this year! He doesn't seem it though!!!!!
Any results yet cn??? Think that's prob next step for us I guess :( I suppose I'm never going to be totally happy about it as I don't like thinking that he's my last but know im ok with it really!!!
His sleep is still loads better going off and evening but night backwards a little but still in the eright direction! Like my weight! Only 1/2 lb this week but still losing it I guess!!!! Will stay focused!!!! How's the shakes going deo?!!!
Got a girls night at someone's tomorrow so going to be extra good today! Xx

My husband is now firing blanks!!! :) :)

Although have to wait till test two!! Which is the hard part!!

Yipee!!!! Does it feel strange knowing that?! Xx

Erm, kind of!! Not really sat and thought about it till you said that! Yes, it does feel weird! We can now officially not get pregnant!!! But also relief, that all we went through wasn't for nothing!! Although if they end up taking both of my ovaries, :) I won't mention that one to him,might be a bit sore!!!!!

Ewan slept through again! Little piggy!

How's ted doing? Bet your loving all the extra sleep!!

Wow Cmm brilliant ted ! & any weight loss is good .

Stanley slept thru every day this week so all good , but feel really tired !

Diet going ok , no idea what I have lost yet , scales broken ! My fatness must have done that , weigh in Monday !

Cn oh sorry if I've put things into your mind re the blanks!!!
My boy has joined your two in the sleep last night!!!! He slept for 11 hours 7.30-6.15!!!!! So impressed! Going to girls night tonight do hope he does the same!!
Deo I am sure you'll have lost!!!! Are you still hungry? Having takeaway at a friends tonight and then a champagne afternoon tea birthday at a hotel Saturday so not a good start but being good otherwise and still counting points!!
You anything planned this weekend?
Pelvis bit better today. How's everyone else? X

Ted you are the boy !! whoop the boy has done soooo well.

cmm u have a lovely weekend ahead. i hope u enjoy it.

got scales working , it says ive lost 1/2lb, omg, not amused, 5 days of 600 cals a day! this happened to me last time i did this diet. my body just holds on to everything & then it decides to let go. so feeling fed up today. tims at the pub tonight, wish i had a bar of choc to eat to cheer me up.

im still doing 1st feed booby, r u still feeding cmm? stanley nott hungry in mornings really. i was reading my gina book tonight & she says start cutting the 10pm feed if they are not hungry in the am. dont want to rock the sleeping thru the night feed though at mo. thinkng i might finish booby feeding altogether next week.

Wow wooohhoooo!! Well done ted!!! We told you it'll pay off, well done cmm for holding in their and percervering!! Have a fab night out!! Well deserved!!

Deo, you know your body better than everybody! If this has done it before, it'll do it again!! Keep going your doing really well! And anything is better than nothing! Can you treat yourself once in a while?

Cmm, you absolutely did not upset me! I see the funny side of things far too often! I've not stopped ripping my hubby all week! Bless him, although now he thinks he's invincible! New hair cut, new perfume, new sperm!! The worlds his oyster!!!!

Well done to Stanley too for sleeping through, it seems that all the boys have done it in the same week!! Ewans done it for a week now too!! Loving it! We have dummy catastrophies but nothing major!

Sooooo looking forward to a little bit of sunshine and Alton towers! I cannot wait!!!! Deo, are we looking at end of April after the Easter hols?

Can't have treats yet cn , soldiering on at mo , hoping the lbs start dropping off .

Yea I was thinking end of April cn

Morning girls!!!!
Oh deo so sorry the weight isn't how you'd like at the moment but hopefully it will be the same as last time and you'll lose more soon!!! It is disheartening I know but you are tough and you'll do it!!
Ted slept through again after my night out!!!!! Yipee!!!!!
Glad you're ok cn.
Sounds like you're meeting at Alton?! If you do and don't mind then may be able to meet you as we sometimes go away in motorhome and could join you?! Be lovely to meet. Hope you don't mind me saying!! X

yes cmm our plan is to meet at alton towers end of april, not exact dates yet, but u are more than welcome to join the party. we are thinking week day probably a friday/thurs ?? i will hve to come and stay in hotel & cn can drive there & obviously u r in motorhome, so we will probably stay 2 nights. we werre waiting til nearer the time to plan round weather but my ds4 birthday on 14th & today just found out ds1 is doing National judo champs the following sat, so looks like the last weekend CN.

Thanks deo keep us posted and maybe I could meet if we can get away in Moho at same time! X

Oh yes that would be ace!! We could all meet up! End of April was when i was thinking too! I'll write it in the diary!! Cannot wait! Now pray for weather!!

hi all,
been to visit my friend with new baby today, ahhh so sweet & seems tiny even though hes 6.7 and my babe was 4lb !!!!
lost 4lb on weigh in today, so thats week one done, not too bad i suppose .
hope u all had a good monday, ooh and stanley slept til 7 again !!!
ooh and stanley still not wanting brekky, today was first day of no booby ;-(((( only i was bothered he was fine, but he only had 2oz for brekky, ted or ewan do that???

Awww how sweet! Would love to have seen how small Stanley was! Bet he beat all of my girls dollies!! Did it make you broody?

Well done you with your weight! I guess the same is happening like last time! Keep persevering!!

And well done Stanley! Do you just feed him at 7pm then he goes till 7am? That's ace! Was going to ask you how you did it? Ewans day goes like this ; morning milk 7am, breaky at 8.30. Lunch at 12 then milk at 3pm. Dinner at 5 - 5.30 then milk before bed at 7pm. All 6oz. Then a 5oz top up at ten and that sees him through! He's slept through for over a week now but still have to get up on several accessions to put dummy in. When and how do I drop the 10pm top up without having to feed in the night again? Do I just decrease it slowly or is he about too young yet?

You must have mixed emotions with your feeding! It's always a heart ache deciding what's best, are you doing the right thing! Of which only you have the answer! I'm sure Stanley will still get just as much enjoyment with his bottle and mummy smiling down at him kissing his forehead as he did staring wide eyed at a booby!! Enjoy it, let the kids have a go and have a bottle of wine!!
