I am not making it up, the above posts make me feel like I am being selfless but I'm not. I joined this forum to gain confidence and meet other mums. I would never fake something like that when there is so many vulnerable women who are desperate for children including my sister. I am not one of these people that lie about things especially this, I just have confussed you all and I understand that now after re-reading it over and over. No, it isn't a convenience, I thought I would document it as many other women have done and ask for support on premature labour witch you all have been very positive and helpful. I'm an anxious stressed out mum to be and I thought joining a forum may help, it has in some ways but I dislike being judged and though of in this way...
(Everything in my time line I have written down in my notes.)
Time line:
•11:20am- set off for A&E.
•12pm- bp taken and bloods drawn.
•12:10pm- cardiotocography and scan to check baby's heart, placenta, blood flow, my dilation was 1.5cm.
•12:20pm- diagnosed with premature labour.
•1pm- moved from a&e to the maternity unit, I was able to rest a little. Baby's heart-rate dropped.
•2:13pm- I was given a progesterone injection and tocolytics.
•2:35pm- was resting, then slept aprox 20mins. baby's heart rate spiked.
•3pm- woke up and was resting. bp taken and temp.
•4pm- started spotting. Baby's heart rate dropped again.
•4:30pm- given more iv fluids.
•5:23pm- was able to get up for the toilet.
•6pm- bp taken, also temp.
•7:41pm- 2nd exam 2cm dilated (baby's heart rate is bouncing).
•8pm- was able to sit up was having contractions.
•9pm- bedrest.
•10:24pm was allowed to take a walk to the delivery suit. I haven't moved since this time.
•11pm- I was allowed some toast.
I am a wreck but I'm trying to stay positive.
