Hi ladies thank you so much for the love and wishes. managed to convince them to let me go after a hairy moment where the blood pressure went sky high!! But blamed them because they were stressing me out and they lost the battle!!
Had a horrendous day be so glad to go to my bed. Have to go in tomorrow for second steriod injection to day unit.
Started by going in at 10am to delivery to be monitored they were fab and felt quite chilled with a lovely student midwife. After being monitored and her feeling the contractions by hand the dr was called. As BB told you all I can only say BITCH I HATE HER!!!!!!!!!! She practically told me I was in preterm labour and I was risking babys health and life by having a c-section. Apparently it is bed for a preterm baby to be born vaginally as they have less breathing problems. She was a bully who wanted me to make a decision there and then and was absolutely petrifying me. I was so scared by her tone and at one point the midwife had to translate for her as there was a language barrier. I would have agreed to anything at that point cos I thought Aj was coming!!!! I said to her it wasn't a choice made by me but by the consultant because of a previous birth and my arthritis at which point she looked surprised that I had it then said that there was no need for arthritis to affect a vaginal birth.
Was given my first shot of steriod she refused to examine me vaginally and said I was to go to the maternity ward for further obs. I went over and was put in a bed at 12:40pm saw no-one then till 14:50pm when I was put on a monitor. Had contractions still but they are very irregular so convinced them I would be more comfortable at home. Complained about lack of care and dr!!!!
At 8:10pm they said I could go but then tried to take my blood pressure (hadn't been taken since 10:30am!!!). BP was then 158/90 re took as high and went up to 169/91!! Hense me becoming upset and freaked out cos they said I then couldn't go. To calm me down they said they would give me 15 mins to lower it. Commence lots of calm breathing and relaxing and hold Jasons hand which got it down to 148/82 which they said would be ok.
Sorry for the long post ladies. Gonna get in bed soon and relax. Still have tightenings but I can breath through them. Got consultant on Thursday if I can get to them some strong words will be exchanged!!!!!
Thanks again for your lovely words ladies made me feel quite emotional. Wish I could give each and everyone of you a big
p.s BB you are a star thanks honey. xxxxxxxx
