EllieBump is on her way...*updated pg 9*

[JP]

Yes they do have somewhere for me to sleep. Its a brown wooden chair right next to Andrea's bed and that's where I shall sleep again.

 

[dannii87]

That is frustrating to hear... First they try to send you home and then you sleep on a wooden chair!

Well, if I lived nearby I would certainly make you a little packed lunch and bring some extra fluffy (with feathers) pillows so you are comfy during your stay with Ellie and Andrea...!!

Anyway, I've vented. Hope things are still going ok. Thank you for taking the time to update us each time.. xx

Awww

Thinking of you and hoping you had an ok night and things are going well this morning.

 

[Moofa]

Hope all is well, thinking of you all

 

[Emma58]

Thinking of you both

 

[Lou]

My thoughts are with you too

I wouldn't leave her either JP if I were you. An hour away is quite far. Is there nobody who could bring you up a camp bed or something? You'd think the midwives would be more caring for dads, if I were a midwife I'd bring you a pillow, duvet, eye mask, the works!

Hope you have an uneventful day and a chance to rest up

Hope Andrea isn't suffering too much and you both got some sleep last night. Haven't been on for a couple of days, nice to hear Elliebump was still cosy and snuggled in, I'm sure every day helps at this stage.

Look after each other Andrea & JP, hope all goes well

 

[sarah2807]

i don't blame you for wanting to stay either-an hour away is a long time-you might miss something important.
Hope Andreaa and Ellie are doing ok-thinking of you all xxxxx

 

[Suzie and Faith]

Hope all is ok and you both managed to get some rest xxxx

Update number I've lost count.......

Going on from last night... Andrea's pain got quite bad last night. She went from paracetemol to codine to gas and air with the option of pethadine which was refused..

andrea was examined twice and there was still no change to the neck of the womb or cervix. The doctor last night said he would only do another exam if she felt the need to push.

Well after a rocky start on the gas and air Andrea soon got into the swing of it. Wasn't long before she was giggling and telling me her eye lids looked like half moons. As you can guess she had a good sleep from around 2am till 6.30am with a 5 min wake up. All in all was good sleep for both of us.

Andrea dozed on and off during the morning and after seeing the doctor was allowed back to the ward.

Back on the ward and she had her old bed back, a little snooze and a trip out to the shop to me. I nearly fell asleep on the bed again too, but stopped myself as not to get caught by the midwifes this time.

Andrea started to bleed again and the doctors decided to move her back to delivery for an examination and monitoring. Doctors estimate she has lost around 35ml of blood. Still no change to cervix.

We were told to leave anything we didn't need on the ward, yes and has had a room upgrade when she gets back to the ward. Side room with ensuite, get in !

Now were in delivery playing the waiting game. As always will have to wait and see.

As always everyone has been informed that Andrea has moved again. The ward know, delivery of course, a couple of doctors, the nicu and they even rang the consultant on call who was at home.

Oh and. We have company of graffe. He is the first teddy we bought for Ellie, and's sister packed him in a bag for us. He's had a word with Ellie through and's belly button to tell her to stay putt lol

Just as I was about to post this the head midwife is making me a coffee and says if I stay again tonight she will get me a reclining chair.

Will update when more info or something kicks off.

 

[Geordie&Bairn]

im rooting for you Andeaa
Elle you stay put like the teddy told you
hang in there hun it looks like Elle know's to try and stay in as long as possible, she a good girl.
2 more days to 27 weeks, hope your ok
glad to hear your enjoying the gas and air.
feel for you sweetie, your doing so well you and JP And your Elle
lol sarah

 

[dannii87]

Glad you've got a decent night's sleep planned with a reclining chair! You should have got that from the off IMO but I'm glad everything is going well. Sounds like a penthouse suite she's been moved to! At least you all get some peace in your own room.

Glad Ellie's staying put for the time being. Every day she holds off is fantastic... Hope you're all ok

Tell Ellie from me (via the teddy if you like) that I'm sure she'd much prefer her birthdays when there is a better chance of nice whether 8) (perhaps in around... Hmmm... 13 weeks?)

Anyway, thanks for keeping us updated x

 

[Lou]

We're all rooting for you
