Hey all.
So I have gestational diabetes (diagnosed at 28weeks). Only came for a my routine 36 week growth scan at 8:40 yesterday morning, by 2pm I was in a ward, on 2 lots of insulin a day, steroid injections for 48 hours and unable to go home!
In 10 mins the doctors plan went from inducing me before 39 weeks to getting her out at 37! I'll be 37 weeks on Thursday so not a lot of time! Steroids finish at 2am tomorrow (Wednesday).
Just wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences?
Those steroids in the bum cheek... OUCHY!!
