Come on girls, lets keep these October babies coming!!
I second this keep em coming ladies xxx
Oooh, I was so excited about Vicki's baby, I forgot to post my update!
My bloods and urine have come back totally clear, so consultant once again is happy for me to start at the MLU. I had a long chat with my midwife today, she has said she would like to get me in once my contractions are 10 minutes apart, instead of the usual 5 minutes. She said that is so they can get me totally settled in and relaxed, and monitor my BP well in advance, so firstly, I am less likely to have stress related high BP, and also if they do need to transfer me, it will be earlier and less panicked and stressful for me.

Urghhh!!! I had the most frustrating clinic appointment today, I feel so disappointed and worried now and it's been so unhelpful. Basically the whole point of my app today was to confirm twin 1 was still breech before booking me in for my c section. Scan confirmed that both babies are now breech and there has been no growth in their head circumference in past 2 weeks.
Went round to see midwife and she didn't appear concerned about head growth which was reassuring but then consultant came in and explained he was concerned and he told me I would be having steroid injections today and again tomorrow in preparation for delivery "this week". Fine by me. Midwife comes back in and gets on the phone trying to book me in for section and they offer either Thursday this week or Wednesday next week, midwife decided Thursday is too soon as Im just exactly 37 weeks then and plumps for next Wednesday!! I then ask her what the point is in giving me steroids as I will be full term on Thursday anyway and they are intended to support babies in case of pre-term delivery, her response "well it's just in case you go into natural labour in coming days". Makes sense but given that Im now double breech that would mean major panic stations!
So in summary I'm now left worrying about the slowed growth (they have been concerned for 4 weeks now about slowed growth but not overly) and also about going into labour naturally!! I feel all of this could have been avoided if they just agreed on delivery this Thursday. It feels as though the midwife has overruled the consultant, or that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing!!
Anyhoo my c section is booked for next Wednesday and I know Im very fortunate and should be grateful but I just feel so worried now. xxx
