Having a bad day today

[andreaaa]

I had another scan this morning and EllieBump's growth has dropped off. She's hardly put any weight on since the last scan and has zero fluid. They have also now decided that my placenta is too low (again) so I will have to have a c-section if she is born in the next 4 weeks. How am I going to get to the hospital to see her (she will be transferred away from home) and get back for Callum and Caitlin if I can't drive for 6 weeks?

I had to wait around the hospital for 3 hours and I ended up in tears when I did finally see someone.

I'm sick of being told a million different things and I've had enough

They can't even tell me that she will be ok, they just have to keep monitoring me every week and hope for the best. I'm so fed up

To top it all off I forgot it was non-uniform day at school today and Callum was the only one with a uniform on I promised him I'd go and get some clothes for him and be back asap but because of the wait at the hospital it was lunchtime before I even got there.

/Rant over

Aww hun, I'm not surprised you forgot about non uniform day with all the other stuff you've had to worry about recently.

Is there anyway you could stay in hospital with Ellie when she's born? It's a difficult one, you're going to be split between wanting to be with Ellie, and wanting to be with Callum and Caitlin

It's a shame the hospitals so far away, maybe your placenta could move again before she's born so you won't need a section

Aww you have been through so much already this pregnancy its no wonder you are feeling fed up with everything. Try and keep positive Ellie has done so well and she has suprised you and the docs throughout with her progress. Shes probaly just slowed down a little and will soon be back on track with the growth.

Keep smiling you and Elliebump have made it to tri 3 which was a huge milestone for you both.

It must be frustrating to not be told information

oh no....having a bad day is an understatement, you must be so frustrated and worried sick

cant really offer any advice as its all too un-plannable... just hope the LO keeps healthy

It's a tough one really. If we make it to 34 weeks then she won't be transferred and I should get a parent room on SCBU. If I can, I'd like to stay with her for atleast 1 week, then I will have to come home so it will be down to visiting but I plan to spend everyday with her, but am obviously going to have to make sure that I'm here when Callum and Caitlin need me too.

If she comes before 34 weeks then I really don't know what I will do

Thanks for the

Thanks thinking that this is what is happening is keeping me going

Thanks for all the hugs

Just what I needed

Oh Andrea that's POO scan news

Poor you and EllieBump - and poor Callum with his uniform (though I'm sure this will be something you laugh about together in a few years' time).

Random fact - in our most recent non-uniform day at school the only boy who came in dressed in uniform was Callum!

I really hope EllieBump can hold on to 34 weeks for you. If not, at least you will get to meet her sooner. Do they even know what's caused your fluid loss yet?

Big hugs and I'm thinking of you

 

[Happybunny]

Aww honey, you really have had a bad day.

I hope things get better and that Ellie can hang in there a wee bit longer, it must be a very stressful time for you.

 

[BeckyJ]

[Charlie:-)]

Fingers crossed everything turns out ok and hope you make it past 34 weeks.

just read this andrea

don't get too down about things though, you have made it this far and i'm confident ellie will be absolutely fine

it will be hard if you hae to have the section, but you and jp will manage it, everyone always does.. and this time next year you will all have moved on from this and be living as a big happy family
