Hello ladies, hope your all well. I had my 28 week scan and consultant appointment today, i have pretty bad health issues so get scaned every 4 weeks. Anyway i know he is going to be coming early but not sure when, anytime between now and 37 weeks at the latest. Got my first steroid injection today and im going back for my second one tomorrow morning. It bloody hurt, anyone else had them?

I had them at 28 weeks due to a bleed and because Im diabetic had to go on a 3 day insulin drip which was a drag...im injecting clexane daily and have to say..the steroids were worse..really stingy

Glad to hear you are doing well ladies. Im the same, i get injections every week, its a really thick substance that goes in under the skin like the steroid jag, it was really sore after but the steroid jag was so stingy, although didnt last long. My arm feels fine now. Hope its ok tomorrow. X

Hiya i had them at 26 + hurts like hell eh?
But baby is well, just think if you go full term baby will come out with super lungs, are you getting your bloods/urine taking twice a week?
Im getting scanned every 2 weeks, just lap up the extra scans xxx

so hopefully will be okay.

i hope things are okay with you, as i know how scary it can be xx

Hi, no my next consultant appointment and scan is 3 weeks time bumps a daisy. The reason he is coming early is because im disabled due to really crap lungs. I cant walk very far and have severe asthma attacks and epilepsy. Anyway im already on daily steroids and nebulisers as every day treatment but i have been admitted 6 times so far due to low oxygen levels. My lungs wont cope with labour plus one of my medications can cause breathing problems for the baby during labour. The have said the very latest i can get my c section is 37 weeks but realisticly they are just trying to get me to 35 weeks at the minute. Obviously the bigger baby is the less room my lungs have. Its just a waiting game for me now. Sorry that was a bit long but dont need bloods or urine as its a specific situation x
