Home Again

So, they said my water didn't break. Took a group b strep and will get the results in 3-4 days. Cervix the same at 1cm. Still having cx. The baby is measuring 39-40 weeks. She scheduled a c for 39 weeks...like I will make it that far.

I cried a lot. I think mostly because I thought she would schedule for 37-38 weeks....also giving up my chance at a vbac because my sugars are so out of control. And cx suck. I really thought they might keep me. Oh well...it is in gods hands. Might give me a chance to heal from this bronchitis and ear infection and Micah a chance to bake longer.

Gonna take a nap. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Shari

((((((HUGS))))))) I luv ya Shari!

What is your target baking date?? I found that making little goals helped. When in the hospital at 32 weeks my target was 35. When I made it to 35 it was 37, after 37 weeks it was game on!!!!! :) I walked 4 miles a day for a week and 5 days - and I STILL gained weight! LOL! I hope the cx give you a break soon!

 Aww Shari,
I hope you get some relief soon. Sending big hugs your way.........

hoping that you get some relief soon and you get over whatever big you have in your system asap.

Good Luck!

Gosh, hope you feel better soon - all the way around!

(((((Hugs)))))) You and Micah are in my thoughts...

Here's to hoping that ou feel better very soon and that little boy is strong and healthy!!

I remember being hospitalized before Everett's arrival - contracting all day/night, having them decide to do the c in the morning, only to have a different Dr send me home. I cried big time. I knew the extra time was better for Everett, but I was so freaking miserable.
Point is, I understand Shari!


When Everett was born with severe TTN @ 39 wks, I couldn't imagine how much worse it would have been had he arrived earlier.

It sucks but just know that in a few short weeks you'll be holding your baby and all the pain of today will stop.

Hugs,

Wow- this has been an emotional rollercoster.  I am hoping this does give you the time to start to feel better...but I know when I am (was actively) diabetic, it takes me longer to feel normal.  Keep baking Micah...I have to tell myself everyday that I love being pregnant, and will miss it horrible when I cant feel movement, it's better for baby to stay for now, etc..it helps me cope with the fatigue and end of pregnancy blues.  I am scheduled for a c-section on Nov 5th, so days it seems so close and others so far away...That will be 39 weeks.  I tried for 38 weeks because I really wanted an October baby- they wouldn't hear doing it before 39 weeks unless a medical issue came up...and Oct / Nov...why does it really matter.  Ironically, Nov 5th is the baby's great grandma's bday and she is thrilled about baby coming that day.
