So Olive (and my body) decided to give us a bit of a scare Thursday night, I was watching England play ( the less said about that the better) and during the match I started getting really intense pain (like the Braxton Hicks I'd beeen having but stronger) then I got chest pains, then an upset stomach and I realised she hadn't been moving as much.
I call the hospital and they tell us to make our way in. I was hooked but to a CTG and and ECG and they scanned me and done a few other tests and everything came back normal. Oh and once I was hooked up to the CTG olive decided she was awake and moved about so much.
I was still have the Braxton Hicks pains and although the doctor's were 99% sure they were just Braxton Hicks they did keep me in overnight. On Friday my heart rate was a little higher than normal (I'm naturally low HR and mine was slightly higher for me but within the normal range) and there was talk of an emergency C-section. Me and Dan talked it over and decided that we'd try and keep her in for as long as possible. The consultant was hesitant but we compromised and said if my heart rate stays within range over the weekend and I don't get any reduced movements he'd be happy but that meant the weekend in the hospital. I agreeed and actually I made some friends on the ward and we had a good laugh.
I've just been discharged and currently enjoying some homemade (by Mum) soup.
Pregnancy, hospitals and heat are not friends! So I'm very pleased to be home.
So I'm still pregnant, HR almost back to my normal rhythm.
I've decided it was the England football teams fault for making me ill! Hopefully they play better tomorrow and they won't effect my heart or Olive

Oh wow, such fun....not! Thankfully all is well. Heat and pregnancy don't really mix either, my 2 "boys" 47 and 44, lol are July babies and was so uncomfortable. Be careful if you watch the next game 🤔😜xx
I'm sitting here waiting for them to bring him home. He's been ready since 10 a.m. but pharmacy not sent his meds yet! He's had lunch in hospital and they've ordered him something for later if still not got them. Such a long time waiting!Keep cool, curtains closed, plenty of cool drinks, but stay near the loo😊x
Sorry to hear you had a bit of a scare..but all is well now..happy to hear that...Southgate does need some help though in setting up his team...keep well and all the best...👍
Just have a bag packed ready then if you are still going to watch it
Yes we have four fans on the go the weather is one extreme to the other
You could always express and let him have a go changing the nappies is the easy bit once you are up and fed them you might as well just change the nappy yourself
You will get a routine though
I am glad Dan is dong a lot better especially now it is nearly time for the baby coming that is a great positive x
