Life roller coasts along here don't expect any more in this house, fitsville has calmed down but colostomy working over time YUUK.

Louisa hope things are OK with you XX

Love to tinkers sleep well XX

Granny had a question for you a few posts back.

Iirc which I dont lol but if this baby is measuring over 42weeks via scan too what will they do?

Its 1 thing or the other for you granny hope everything settles x

Lol, she will be back in the club when her hormones have stopped raging ha ha ha! She'll kill me when she reads this!
Glad the fitting has stopped. Not so great about the colostomy, does she take regular loperamide? Or would that bung her up too much?

Yay another boy! Even if he is a whopper, I'm not sure what they will do maybe induce early?
I need to get tidying, the floor is coming tomorrow and I'm sitting in a room of rubble!
Ah when will it end?

Update. In hospital. Regular contractions on gas n air

had some bleeding last night so came straight in. They sent me2 delivery due to contractions. Baby no longer transverse hes head down was back to back but ok no but dont know howlong for!
Had2 scans. Im 32weeks + hes measuring 36weeks.had 1 injection will have another tonight.

Ive lost plug now but been moved to maternity ward as they are trying to stop contractions with tablets which does for an hour or so but then they are back 10x worse.

Still getting good contractions now plan is watch and see if I labour asim.inlatent phase.

Oh god. Hope they manage to stop them, sending lots of hugs and anti contraction vibes xxx

They have been managing to stop for a few hours but thrn contractions come bk really bad x

like now.
Oh. Fuck.

Any news monsters?

Had a horrible few hours with pain.

So im dosed up in lots of pain killers but still getting contractions and now body is 'bearing down like pushing' and pressure in bum. Cervix still closed but myllabours arw dragged out and I know it takes me a few days to dilate 3 cm! So I dont expect anything to happen immediately. They don't want me walking as itmakes contractions and pain worse so if I can they want me to stay on ward. Not had no dinner yet as I was in too much pain so will have to wait foe tea!

Babys heart rate was a lil suspicious so kept on monitor for a while longer. Kept dropping.
Contractions werent coming up on monitor and I did tellthem and I said I know im ggetting them but dont care if tbey aren't showing as all I want to know and make surw is thst my baby is ok and they agreed x

thinking of you monsters xxx

DGD hope things are not too scarey for you.
I am nearly feeling your contractions and they hurt.

Much love Granny XXXX

They sent me home as they needed the bed and I wasnt.dilating just contcontracting
Ive had both steroids, waters are bulging and still losing plug.

Dr recommended I walked and sat im hot baths at 33 weeks

What do you think

They look regular to me, but I'm no trained mw!
What happened if your waters go?
I'm working tomorrow but will try and pop in. Did a 3 k run today for the hospice, I'm knack ered now lol!

If waters wil have to have him. Hes had his 2 steriods for his lungs. Hes a good weight too.
They've tailed off a lil now. Still getting them pretty intense but not as many now its every 4ish mins.

I guess this is what they call stop n start labour.

I can feel him being pushed down with each contraction. Like body is pushing him out but im not dilating. I dont bloody dilate. Ds1 took 5 days for me to dilate. Ds2 was not too bad as I was induced! Still bloody 9hours!

Im knackered from all the pain ive been in, its so tiring!

Well done for doing the run

How's it going, hope they stopped

Well had to come back in.
Fibronectin test was positive for early llabour whereas yhe other day it was negative.

Regular tightenings and now still waiting for drs to come. They were due at 12 . The tightenings have tailedoff a pLil

I really dont understand whats going on!
I will get the contractions for hours, needing pain relief like gas n air, diamorphine etc and then they will tail off once 4ish hours are over from having the pain relief.

Really getting on my nerves now.

What about this pinky stuff? Its like after waterw have gone when you get the pinky bloody discharge.

So bloody confusing hoping someone ahem granny or anyone can shed some light please

Gawd so stressful, hope you get some answers soon. Xx

Ive got ecoli In my kidneys so thats started uterine contractions which has threatened early labour.
Its done some damage as to putting me at high risk for prem labour. The fact that the test came vack positive for prem labour means it could happen at any time and the knly thing theh can do is treat the infection and hope it helps the pain. If in 2 or 3 weeks im still like this will probably get a sweep. If I go into labour before thaf I have a proper birth plan as I hemorrhage after delivery so thats reassuring too.

Even though the infection is being treated still at risk of prem labour as test was positive

DGD I am so sorry I have not replied but computer has thrown a wobbly and I resorted to throwing it across the room. So I am using the OF's.

Sorry about all your problems with DGGS3. Am sorry I can't throw any light on what could be wrong, haven't practiced any midwifery for years and would not like to offer any advice. Please ask your midwife what the hell is going on. Try and keep your chin up my thoughts are with you XX
