Ellie, I'm glad that all checked out okay for you.

Alas, not so good for me The improvement in the bloodflow (from the steroids) has worn off. Flow hasn't stopped or reversed yet, but the hospital are now worried. They told me off for not coming in last night (when Beanie was quiet) and I am under strict instructions to monitor activity and come in at the slightest worry. My consultant may call me tomorrow, if not then it'll be left until Wednesday. But it is most likely that I will be admitted before the end of the week, to be monitored for as long as possible prior to having a very early section.

Damn damn damn damn damn. I so wanted to have this baby as naturally as possible!

Ohhhhh that's crap .... OH was just saying to me, how on earth is any pregnant woman supposed to live your life if you have to keep running to the hospital all the time??
Argh, won't they give you any more steriods (not the nicest of substances I know but it seemed to help last time didn't it?)
Crap I know ... but I guess if they are concerned about the blood flow then they need to keep an eye on your little man. I'm sure (if it does have to happen) you'll soon forget about a section once he's here. Keep us posted ....

Marleysgirl - so sorry to hear that things are not going well. I hope your little one can remain inside for another while anyway. I know it's not a nice thought being admitted but at least you can feel secure that they will be keeping a close eye on things.

Ellie - so pleased that everything is OK with your LO.

Csunshine - it's good to hear you sounding so positive and optimistic. I hope you are back here soon too, feel free to keep popping in to keep up to date.

Hi to everyone else!!

Hi all. You looking for new members?
I had my pregnancy confirmed by the doc about a week ago - it's just taken a while for me to believe it! Still feel like I'm on eggshells, and it's all going to go horribly wrong any minute, but thought I'd start joining in some pregnancy threads.

OH and I are both 36. We have one daughter already, Freya, who is nearly 4. She is an absolute legend, and will make a fabulous big sister. We haven't told her yet, because we're not ready to tell other people and don't think it's fair to ask her to keep a secret like that.

So, hi!

Csunshine - Its good to see you online still, hope we have you back here very soon hon x

Ellie - I was feeling quite refreshed yesterday but after just one day at work I'm wiped out again! I think its because I'm not sleeping very well at the moment. I've decided to bring my maternity leave date forward to November because I think I'm gonna crash and burn otherwise. How's your essay coming along now? Or shoulsn't I ask...

Seity - Yaaaaay for hearing the heartbeat so early! Wow thats amazing! And its so lovely and reassuring isn't it.

Marleys - So sorry to hear the steriods have worn off already you poor thing. Any news from the consultant today hon?

Polaris - Hi Pol hope you're ok. Have they sorted out your work situation yet?

Freyasmum - Hi and welcome!

Hey Freyasmum congrats! I love the name Freya by the way - a possible name just come up on our list since we've just started discussing it!
And so far not agreeing on anything much ... one or two girls' names maybe, but we can't decide on boys' at all ... he wants some really (to my mind) outlandish ones that I don't see myself calling down the street! like Vivek, Satish, Castor, Gawain, Kavi (!!!!) or Alfred (quite like Alfie though)

hope you sleep better meerkat - I'm not really either, and it does add to the stress doesn't it! I've discovered using my V pillow as a body pillow helps get comfy, but it's the waking up to wee and leg cramps, then by noisy seagulls outside, then by OH snoring .... sheesh. Earplugs help a bit too!

Hope all is okay with your little man today Marleysgirl and he's kicking you like a good 'un...

I'm still heeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

But not tomorrow. I had a call from the consultant this morning, and he was slightly less worried than the other u/s docs/scanners - perhaps because he's got the more indepth knowledge of placenta problems? He's asked me to monitor movements today & tomorrow morning, and to come in immediately if I think Beanie goes too quiet.

But other than that, he's leaving me until my scheduled 3pm scan tomorrow - and I've been told to come in prepared to be admitted (ie bring the suitcase).

Just been into town, no luck with nursing bras (two will have to suffice to start with) but did get some mega-huge granny pants in a £shop.

Time to go and pack my bag now!
