Update on growth scan- being induced on 15th February.

[Jess1981]

I have a complicated history- 2 live children, 1 baby born asleep at 20 weeks on November 2020 ( found out at 20 weeks scan) & 3 early miscarriages.

Due to having a difficult birth with my 2 year old daughter and having a stillborn with post delivery complications- haemorrhage due to retained placenta and blood loss of 1.9 litres and blood transfusion and for my mental health they have agreed to induce me on 15th February- subject to a negative PCR test for me and hubby having a negative lateral flow test and self isolating for 48 hours

Our baby is estimated to be 7lbs 6oz and with tummy measurements is measuring 40 weeks and 3 days - I’m. 36 weeks 6 days pregnant!

I have other reasons to wanted to be induced I’m really glad the hospital validated my feelings. Due to the haemorrhage I will be kept a close eye on. X

[RhinoCat]

So glad they heard your heart on this one 💐💐💐💐💐😘😘😘😘😘 wishing you all the best. I won’t be far behind ya 😘💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

[Jess1981 in reply to RhinoCat]

Thank you. Ooh not long for you either exciting 😍 I hope you have made a birth plan you feel happy with? Your baby is measuring big too? All the best with the rest of your pregnancy and delivery Xx

[RhinoCat in reply to Jess1981]

I’m just keeping an open mind with the birth plan. Having a sweep at 38 and few days then induction booked for 39. To try and save a bit of weight etc and avoid increased risk of still birth as I’m old, which I’m slowly getting my head around. With induction I’ll just take whatever pain relief that I need and try to accept that things like forceps etc will probably be on my horizon whether I like it or not with this birth version 🤷🏼‍♀️ Just being realistic.My wish is …. Safe delivery. All

The best 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

[Jess1981 in reply to RhinoCat]

Birth can be unpredictable and always good to have an open mind. Baby arriving safely is all that really matters and how they come safely is almost irrelevant. ❤️ Try not to think about horrible things like stillborns it is every pregnant women’s worst nightmare it’s just fear talking you’ve had a horrendous journey to get here. I was terrified having Francesca after a 7 year struggle I thought she was too good to true and something would go wrong even in labour I asked if she was ok! I’ve been full of anxiety this whole pregnancy due to losses , Like the midwife said to me I won’t be able to relax until the baby is here safely part of the reason I have gone for induction ! All the best with your delivery hope all goes smoothly for you. I look forward to seeing your birth announcement 😍❤️ Xx

[Jonesy84 in reply to RhinoCat]

RhinoCat I was just thinking in you the other day and hoping everything was going well! Wow not too long left now…looking forward to seeing your baby arrival update xxx

[RhinoCat in reply to Jonesy84]

Awh so sweet , thanks so much 💐💐💐💐💐

[Running79 in reply to RhinoCat]

Glad to see your almost there, the finish line is in sight for yet another warrior xx

[Eternalwarrior]

I am so happy that they listened to you. Not long now until you meet your baby!! ❤️🥰💞💖

[Jess1981 in reply to Eternalwarrior]

Thank you so much. I’m relieved they listened 😁 Hope you ok? ❤️Xx

[Eternalwarrior in reply to Jess1981]

I am OK, thanks. I can't believe I am 29 weeks tomorrow. I hoped they would listen to me also... After 5 miscarriages and losing my baby at nearly 18 weeks with post delivery complications too and with a high risk pregnancy now and placenta problems, I was worried they would let me go past my due date. I am having growth scans every two weeks now and was actually surprised when they said they would be more than happy if I can just make it to 37 weeks... I am so glad your hospital listened and validated your feelings. I am so excited for you that you don't have long until you meet your baby! Good luck with the next 2 weeks! 🥰❤️ xx

[Mcra]

So happy for you. I hope you enjoy last couple of weeks before meeting your baby!

[Jess1981 in reply to Mcra]

Aww thank you. Still a bit to do 😂🙈 joys of having a little one to look after ! 😂 hope you are well? Xx

[Sparklylife]

I am glad they have listened to you. Wishing you all the best for your labour - Not long until you get to meet your little one 🥰

[Jess1981 in reply to Sparklylife]

Thank you , it was in the guidelines but you never know with drs! The medics have been very supportive of me during my pregnancy with my anxiety has been high with previous losses. Can’t wait to bring her home. Hope you are well? Xx

[Sparklylife in reply to Jess1981]

Yes, of course it would be! I cannot even imagine how you feel! So it is good they have been supportive! My anxiety was high too.. but different reasons to why. Just that feeling of “it is too good to be true” for me and could not quite believe it .. but we are doing very well, thank you for asking!! Be thinking of you!

[Materialbarbie]

Great news that they’ve listened to your needs lovely! Best of luck with it all, baby will soon be here❤️! So pleased for you xxx

[Jess1981 in reply to Materialbarbie]

Thank you. I thought I was going to have to fight hard but they were very supportive of my feelings. They have been very good to me with this pregnancy. I can’t really relax until the baby is here with losing Amelia and the miscarriages. Not long now tho and Eliza will be here 😁 hope you are keeping well? Xx

[Ellie1005]

Great to hear and that they are listening and looking after you! Look forward to hearing how it goes and the announcement 🥰xx

[JoyfulStar]

So happy to hear your update. Glad the clinic were responsive to your needs. Wishing you a safe delivery and speedy recovery 💕

[Jonesy84]

So pleased you have a plan! All the best and looking forward to the update on baby’s arrival xxx

[Hidden]

My thoughts are with you, looking forward to that special announcement! Be brave, you got this. Xxx

[Running79]

Great news for you!!

From the measurements it sounds like a big baby so I wish you all the luck with the birth!!

I’m aware of your previous history from another forum on here, I pray you have a really good medical team monitoring you every step of the way
