37 Weeks and 6 days Already
OH MY GOD i do not have long. Two weeks until my due date and I really am starting to get scared. I am so uncomfortable. With all the trips to hospital I can not wait until its all over. I haven't updated my blog much in the past couple of weeks because I have not been able to focus on something for more than 30 minutes. I haven't been up to much I got to go to Enfield fireworks with Steve and got to go and see my cousin Kelly yesterday. Kelly had bags and Boxes of clothes for me to look through. She gave me so much. The nursery wardrobe is so full. Steve and I are so grateful. We just cant wait for him to arrive now.
34 Weeks What a week
I turned 34 weeks the 14th October. What a horrible day. It was raining and cold. I decided to get out of the house for a while I would go for a walk with Steve and the dogs. We headed up to the river and I started to feel pains. I just thought it was all the walking so we decided to make our way bk but not rush. When we got home I decided because of the amount of pain I was going to have a bath. By the time I had got out of the bath I was having tightening's every 10 minutes. After about an hour and a half of pain Steve and I decided we should ring the hospital and see what they say. They asked us to come in to make sure everything was OK.
On arrival at the hospital I went to MFAU. I was placed on a machine and told I was having tightening's every 2 minutes and the doctor was going to be called. The doctor that came to see us decided because the tightenings were coming every two minutes, that they were going to have to give me steroid's for the baby's lungs. The doctor was thinking the baby was on his way. I was rushed up to delivery and put on a machine for the night. I was given tablets to try and stop labour so I could get round to 7 o'clock for the second steroid injection. I made to 7 o'clock and was told that I was going to be moved to Lady Mary Ward so I could sleep.
When I was moved to Lady Mary Steve was told by the head nurse he had to go home and sleep and if anything happened he would be called. I slept from 11 o'clock to about 14:30 as soon as I woke up the pain had started again. I kept an eye on the pain and told the nurse. By the time Steve came back in at 19:00 I was having tightenings again every 5 to 8 minutes. We informed the nurse who called the doctor. The doctor came and checked me and told me I was dilated 1cm. The nurse then decided to transfer me back up to delivery unit. I spent another two nights on delivery and nothing happened. I had no infection and all tests were coming back negative so the doctors couldn't work out what was making my uterus tight. I was then transferred back to Lady Mary on the Friday. For the next 4 days i was put on the machine to check the movements of the baby and what my uterus was doing. I was checked a couple of times by doctors. By the Monday I was told if I had a comfortable night sleep and the trace looked OK and I wasn't bleeding I was aloud to go home on the Tuesday. The doctors decided that I was aloud to go home. Which i was happy about because I was missing home and Steve a lot.
