Hi, I’m just looking for some support. I’m 36 weeks pregnant after a 15 week loss (unexplained) last year. This pregnancy has been really rough the whole way through. I already have 2 beautiful children but because my last wee one was 7lbs( decent weight I thought) he was sga so have been having serial growth scans. First at 28 weeks- baby iugr-prepare for early delivery, nicu stay etc. 32 week scan- baby actually on 50th centile- now not worried however lying transverse- cord prolapse, still birth, cord accident bla bla. 3rd scan 36 weeks- baby still on 50th centile but I now have far too much amniotic fluid and baby has unstable lie- admit 38weeks repeat gd test probable c section. I’m so stressed out 😭
I don’t want to be admitted to wait for labour because that’s where I had to deliver the baby we lost and I don’t know How I will cope being there on my own for weeks potentially. I also do not want to risk anything happening to this wee one.
I’m huge, breathless and completely exhausted. My pelvis feels like it may go under the pressure. I saw consultant who has not made any sort of plan except community midwife will check if engaged at 38 weeks but that is literally it. I doubt she will because if I lie on my side I can feel her move over, lie flat she hits diaphragm so dunno how she will get into position and stay there now. We live 1 hr for hospital so will take a while to get there.
oh and my mum has fallen and broken her leg ( she was going to come and look after other kids while I was in hospital and help out while I recover)- so as you can see it’s all going to plan!
i don’t mean to complain because I’m so grateful for this pregnancy but with all additional stress I’m freaking out. I will prob end up with c-section which I’m not keen on just for recovery with the other kids.
any advice would be appreciated, sorry it’s such a long post x
