Had my growth scan and consultant appointment this morning...

They say baby still measuring big (am not too fussed about the measurements though tbh) and say I still have alot of fluid. What I am fussed about is they say that the fluid is so much that I shouldn't be induced, any method, as it would put too much strain on my previous section wound... they are also worried about if I go natural with the amount of fluid (to me doesn't seem alot, had alot more when pregnant with my son) but basically they have booked me in for section... Friday morning :cry:

I went to bits, completely. The worse outcome for me, again. I really wanted to labour with this baby and it looks like it won't happen. The doctor said if I go natrual in the meantime to get to them asap and they will see how it goes BUT if it ends in emergency section again it puts the risks up, it's harder to do emergency section on a previous section wound and brings more complications in... didn't go into details. But because I was in a bit of a state he offered to try to break my waters :shock: It f**king hurt lol My cervix was not reachable, but he bloody tried, but it was too high and still proper closed.

The reason for the section being so quick is because the scan results showed that LO MIGHT have oedema under the superficial skin layer on her neck and abdomen. They're not sure, and if it is they don't know why so they bascially want her out sooner rather than later.

They would've done section tomorrow but they coulldn't fit me in. I have to go for pre-op appt tomorrow afternoon and then section Friday morning.

I am absolutely devasted tbh, but above everything I just want my little girl here safe and sound and to know she is ok.

But pleeeeeeeeeease send labour vibes my way NOW lol I have like less than 48 hours!!!

feel for you hun as I had emergency section with my first son, I hope you get her out safe hun x

I do would love a natural birth and they are going to see if they can break my waters too day before my section. I am booked in in three weeks time.

Hugs x
 
Sending hugs your way - hope you do go in to labour naturally, on the bright side though at least you know a date that you will meet your LO :) x
 
Keeping my fingers crossed for you, and hope it all goes to plan for you x :)

Thanks MCC... I feel gutted that it's probably likely I will end up with the section and never know what it is like to actually push my baby out. I laboured a long time with my son and got him so close to out, but he was so wedged had to be pulled back up again, plus I had topped up the epidural so much I never knew when to push if I wasn't told lol

I know most important thing is LO getting here safe n sound, but I do feel absolutely gutted atm

at least you know a date that you will meet your LO :) x

This, I think, is the only upside atm lol Think my OH is a bit relieved he doesn't have to go through the labour process again as think he was quite scarred from what happened with our son, and also he said we know exactly when she's coming and can get everything sorted with care for our son and dogs etc!

I do hope so, but I don't think she's ready. She had gotten a bit lower, not dropped into my pelvis at all unfortunately, but lower than she was, but since he had a prod about she's right up top of my bump again, almost propping my boobs up lol Don't think she appreciated it at all... hopefully my body will ignore her and just go for it though

:pray:
 
yeah I hope so hun the doctor checked me out yesterday said my cervix was thinning whatever that means, never laboured naturally as was medically induced with Leo. was kinda hoping she could do a proper sweep she prodded it like yours and it was a little crampy afterwards for a while nothing mega x
 
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that you might end up with an unwanted c-section, hun. Fingers crossed for you. Hope LO arrives safe and sound either way. xxx
 
Sorry to hear that, but as long as you get your little girl safe and healthy in your arms thats the main thing! x
 
Sending every positive vibe your way!!! Lots of hugs xxx

That's what happened with Oz hun, my waters went and cervix opened, had few contractions then nothing so they had to induce me because of risk of infection. I had to have that frickin awful hormone (?) drip, OMG I would never opt for that again anyways, was bloody horrendous!

I have been getting quite a few crampy feelings, but nothing seems different at all really. I think I would need them to have another try, might ask tomorrow when I'm on MAU see if they can check if anythings changed?

Thanks Kanga. Think it's sinking in a bit more now, after the initial shock. Was just checking my hospital bag and babies bits and really can't wait to have her here. Pleeeeeeease let her be ok. She looks ok on the scan, strong heartbeat and everything was normal, just this suspected oedema. Had a google but couldn't find anything that matched, so am taking that as a good sign!

xxxx
 
Sorry to hear about this but I hope everything goes well for you. Exciting that you get to meet your little girl in 2 days!! Xx
 
Sending you labour vibes!! So sorry to hear this, but at least you know theyre looking out for lo and keeping her safe. Really hope that its a false alarm and your little girl is fine and healthy! Good luck with everything, and keep us updated ;)
 
Wow! Big hugs honey. At least you know tomorrow you get to meet your little girl - but sorry it's not going the way you hoped. All the best for tomorrow.
 
Oh no, sorry to hear this. I know it's not what you wanted, but like you said, as long as she is healthy and arrives safely, that's the important thing. And at least you don't have as long to wait! x x
 
Oh Maria so sorry your not going to get the birth you wanted but at lest they are doing all they can to make sure little lady arrives safe & sound!
