So it is a week today since my waters went at 31 weeks. I was discharged from hospital on Monday afternoon with antibiotics and a thermometer. Everyday I am still loosing them and having to change around 3 pads a day. I wake up in the morning feeling like I have got a hangover and have no energy to do anything, it eases off after dinner. My community midwife came to see me at home yesterday and I told her how I was feeling as I thought it might be my blood pressure but it is fine she said it is probably emotional stress more than anything. I am an emotional wreck, I sat there and cried when I was telling her how I was feeling and she just wanted to talk about breastfeeding, I just found myself staring at her thinking are you for real. I don't even feel like I am going to get to the stage where I am holding a baby in my arms.
Got twice weekly appointments in the hospital for Foetal movement monitoring, swabs for infection and blood tests.
The baby is breech and my consultant said that he very much doubts that the baby will turn head down now my waters have gone so they are looking to do a C-section at around 34-35weeks or if it does miraculously turn head down they will induce me for a natural labour.
My friends waters went at 30/40 and she delivered at 31/40. Baby stayed in NICU/SCBU until the equivalent of 37/40 then home. No problems. He's now 3 months old and v cute
Did she go into labour though on her own after the waters broke or did they give her a C-sec?
My water broke when I was 26 weeks, had my daughter at 28 weeks 13 years ago. Was in hospital for 12 weeks. She is absolutely healthy. No problem at all. Was prepared for c-section but had a vaginal delivery. My advice is be strong
Thank you. The baby is very quite, the community midwife tried to wake them up by rocking my tummy but nothing, the only reassurance I have is my Doppler. I have got my app at 1.30 this afternoon so will tell them my worries, that's if I can talk without crying.
She laboured - 1h 40m!
