MrsDannyDyer's now proud Mummy to baby Jessica :)

((hugs)) really is a rough time and I know with everything else it must feel too much, but truly hope all works out for you, baby and Rhiannon.
I wish I was closer hun, I truly do. ((Hugs))
 
crossing my fingers for you honey. i agree that ordering a cot online and getting it delivered to your door may be a good idea. it will give you a bit of a break.

good luck with the docs this morning.

Hi sweet,

good luck today, let us know how u get on, everything crossed!!
 
Thanks everyone

Had the docs this morning and he had spoken to haematoligist, and she wants me to start steroids today :( really dont want to take them. I dont wanna balloon all over. and all the health risks that go along with them too. Then theres the risk the baby will be bigger and they would have to wean her off them at birth. so at the moment im thinking of taking my chances without them. But the risk of sponateous bleeding especially in the brain or eyes is high too...... its a hard decsion to make. Times like this i wish i had never moved into a place of my own. Or wish i lived closer to my mum.

Anyway i had my usual app with the mw too this afternoon, where she took more blood. She just wants me admitted to hospital. think shes worried sick that something is going to happen to us. She has never had this problem to deal with b4. so its all new to her too. But i see the consultant and haematoligist on monday, so can only wait and see what they have to say on monday.

Still getting the odd tightening and period pains in my tummy. so at this point i think i would just be glad to go into labour and get this all over with, as i think baby would be safer outside than in now. if i could just get to 36 weeks with now steroids and deliver then id be happier...
 
Try not to worry about the ballooning and side effects for you with the steroids. I've been on high dose steroids for long periods of time over the years and they aren't that bad. The ballooning is temporary, and will disappear when you come off them. Same with the rest of the side effects. You wouldn't be on them for too long so they shouldn't cause you too many problems.

In perspective, if they help with your platelet problem and help baby's lungs develop a bit faster, then that is all good and worth the temporary ballooning etc. I'm sure you'd rather be alive and healthy for both your children.
 
oh honey. what a decision to have to make. my mum had to go on steroids so that i could be delivered very early. she has an artificial heartvalve and it got to a point where i was safer out than in due to the drugs she had to take. she was hospitalised for three months before i was born and she went on steroids to develop my lungs, and i turned out just fine. that may be totally irrelevant information, but if it means you can deliver earlier and get the worry over with then maybe it's worth it?

massive hugs.

Im so fed up :( im on 11 tablets a day and 2 injections a week, and getting blood checked about twice a week so far.

Terrified right now that this is going to harm the baby. I know it prob wont but ive definately had less movement this week. may just be a coincidence

was woken up by the mw texting me. she said she had tried to call the house and could i call they want me to go get a ctg. have tried calling her back but shes in a clinic just now. so will wait for her to call back. im up at day bed on monday so dont no wots so urgent.

just wish they would take the baby out so i no shes safe.
 
:hug99: If it helps, Charlies movements slowed down around 34 weeks too. It's perfectly normal, as they have less space to move around in. I was begging them to deliver him at 34 weeks, I felt the same as you that he would be safer out than in, but with hindsight he was safer in than out at that stage. I know our medical problems are different, but it comes down to having to trust that the doctors have both of your best interests at heart and will guide you the right way.
 
Ended up having to go up to the day bed unit on fri to be monitored. They seem to do this every friday for sum reason. So i went up and was there for about 4 hours!!!!

Baby was fine, sat wiating to see a obstetrician who is apparently the expert in low platelets (no one could understand why ive not seen him b4 now) and he ended up getting called into theatre. so i saw a gyno doc instead. the platelets were up from 14 to 26 which is great. this doc said tho it beggers disbelief u have been left this long. got introuble for going xmas shopping last week. he basically said if u dont go home and do nothing until this baby is born ill admit u now. any bump etc could be fatal with the platelets so low.

so ive just been taking it as easy as is possible.

back up to haematology 2moro morning, which usually takes 2 hours, then 3 hours later ive got day bed unit for an hour of monitoring and a growth scan. so wil be at the hospital all day tomoro again. which is such a pain as i have to get Rhiannon watched and she has to miss nursery too. Anyway not long to go now :)
 
Fingers x'd all goes well - will be lovely to see baby again I'm sure, but mixed blessings given the hanging around and Rhiannons routine being interupted.
Hope all is positive for continuing on from here with bump in situ though.. each day is a blessing I'm sure. ((Hugs))
Let us know how you get on x
 
Had my usual moday 5 hours at the hospital today. Seen the haematologist and the platelets are up to 25. She wants me seen next tue at the day bed unit to be checked to see if i look favourable for induction and if the platelets r still below 50. if i do ive to b given iv imunogoblins and indiced. if im not i will see her again on the 30th and this time ive to be arranged to start imungoblins this will be done over 2 days then induced on the 3rd day.

saw the anethetist and he said a spinal/epidural is a big no no. so if i end up needing a section it will have to be a GA which hes still not happy to do but said its the only option available. so worried that because they are forcing through induction ill end up getting sectioned. if they would just leave her theres more chance of a normal delivery. but then they wouldnt have the time to raise the platelets for delivery. cant win either way

They popped me on the monitor to trace her, and she was sleeping. was on there half an hour and they werent happy with it. but i had a scan to go for. so they asked me to go back for the tracing again after the scan. did that and she was still asleep, they ended up giving me chocolate and that woke her up and they were much happier. so im booked in to see them again next tue.

Had the growth scan and the baby hasnt grown as much as they hoped. shes 5lb 6 now. which is still a great weight. her thigh bone is measuring 37 weeks lol and everywhere else shes 33/34 weeks.

So thats me for another week. unless they call me up panicking asking me to go up. i did discuss this with the doc who agreed with me that they need to stop paniking.

Oh and can i say i didnt realise it was xmas next week until they just told me! i nearly died when i realised. ive bene that rapped up in all this baby stuff and all these appointments i didnt realise! glad everythings in. but i have no food/drink in. anyway i might end up in hospital that day having a baby so i wouldnt need to worry lol
 
Aww ((Hugs)) on not realising how close xmas is now. Rhiannon will be happy with tree and presents - don't fret about too much 'trimmings'.. she's young. I know my LO would be happy with sausages and spag hoops! lol
It's us adults who are caught up in it all to a massive extent.

Glad your platelets are up a bit, try not to dwell on the CS.. being positive can really help and you never know till you are there ((hugs)) Even if it was the worse case scenario there is a whole team helping you and bump too.
Weight is a great weight - your baby is like mine.. long limbed! lol Erin was the same! lol
((Hugs))
 
Well im off to stay at my mums 2day. The snow is horrendus. so rather than try and drive 1st thing 2moro, im going this afternoon. as her house is 10 mins away from hospital.

fingers x im not looking favourable for induction this week, as still got a few things to do. my swing for the baby is arriving wed or thu, and the pram supposed to be wed!!!

so hopefully ill be back here 2moro afternoon

have been having lots of period pain all weekend, and the shooting pains. but hopefully it wont come to anything
 
Had my app with the day bed unit yday. What a carry on it was getting there. My car is stuck in a car park cause of the snow. My dad had to drive 60 miles to get me to my app....

Had protein in my urine yday and ive had a sore tummy up the right hand side at d top d last few days, and been itchy all over but no rash or spots. platelets were 21. but i asked to be left as i just cant spoil the kids xmas being in hospital. so they will induce me next week, the follwing week at the latest.

Day bed called today and asked me to go back in a repeat the liver function test. i told them there was just now way of me getting there. so they arranged my gp to test me. there testing me now for obstetric cholestasis. which isnt great as if it comes back i do have it they will just go ahead and induce me...

and im stuck miles from no where with no xmas food :( thot the snow would have cleared to allow me out, but its not happening and they dont no if they will grit the car park im stuck in. waiting in for my pram today, so after it arives my options are to go to the co op and see how much i mite get there, or wait n get a bus 10 miles to asda tomoro. only prob is asda is a good 20 min walk from bus station... lol so we may end up havin a chinese on xmas day :( tho the kids will be happy!!!

lets hope 2010 is a better year
 
Whatever happened food wise - I hope you have a good day today ((hugs)) kids don't care what they eat lets face it! lol You could have Mcdonalds and they'd be happy! ((Hugs))

Fingers x'd results are clear and indeed 2010 is a good one for you ((Hugs)) hang on in there hun. xx
 
Had an app at day care yday. They found two traces of protein in my urine, so ive to go back up to maternity on sat to have it rechecked.

Then im being admitted on wed. 2 days of blood transfusions and induced on the 3rd day. All being well ill have my wee girl in my arms that day or the next. Lets hope it doesnt drag out.

Paeds have been informed, so will be on hand, but there hoping the baby will be ok.

Happy New Year everyone xx
