Handhold please - 28+6.

[NewYearsEveWedding]

Previous history - DD born at 32 weeks in 2015 due to waters breaking. No cause found. Now healthy 5 year old.

Currently 28+6 with DS. Yesterday I went in to be monitored as baby had a quiet day. The monitor picked up tightenings in my stomach. Cervical length was measured again, and has dropped to 2cm, from 3.5cm 3 weeks ago. Suddenly told that this could be the start of things again. I'm sure these "tightenings" have been felt a couple of weeks ago even. I thought it was baby moving high up.

I live in the Channel Islands, so have been told to prepare for medical plane transfer to Southampton hospital. DH will have to stay here until we know what's going, looking after DD. The prospect of giving birth alone, and leaving my home, it's horrible.

I've just dropped DD at school and now need to start packing an emergency suitcase. I can't think straight, I'm so frightened.

Don't panic! I'm sure it's scary but you have got to such a good gestation and so pleased for you that you are back on Guernsey and got some time at home. Do you have any signs of labour yet? Have they said what the plan is?

My 33+4 DS is now 11 months, I'm feeding him to sleep as I write and he is absolutely fine.

Good luck op, 33 weeks is a good gestation ♥️

Best of luck OP, you’ve got this!
