I’ve purposely waited until almost bedtime to write this in case I jinxed myself so it will probably be a few days old by the time anyone reads it.
Today, 25th November 2021, I am 34 weeks pregnant. This feels like an amazing milestone! I am now officially on maternity leave and actually should have been coming back to hospital today for the final countdown to my c-section. Instead I’ve already been here for just over 2 weeks but so far everything is pretty stable. Amniotic fluid is still low but there was very slightly more yesterday than a week ago and baby’s heart rate always looks good. I had to go back on IV meds about a week ago as a precaution after having contractions (non-painful, “practice” contractions that would be perfectly fine if it weren’t for the two-month old incision in my uterus!) but apart from that it’s been a relatively boring stay so far. I will continue to be closely monitored and if baby’s growth slows down or they see any signs of distress the c-section will have to be performed earlier but for now we continue to wait and hope things remain stable. Three weeks to go until my planned c-section date!
Great news 🙂
Yaaay!!! Still will keep you in prayer x
Thank you lovely x
I keep checking your blog, and dates to see how things are going. Excellent news!! Every night you, Jan and Baby are mentioned in prayer.
Thank you so much. We’re in the final stretch now. December tomorrow 🙂
Fabulous news, I hope all goes well.. I would pray for you if I were a believer – but I will think of you and all those struggling with pregnancy instead. Is there a charity you would recommend for support by a donation?
Thank you. I appreciate your kind thoughts. I don’t know any charities for those struggling with pregnancies but RVI Tiny Lives is an amazing charity in Newcastle that takes care of premature and ill babies.
I am SO thrilled for you! One week to go, right?? I cannot wait to meet your sweet sweet baby. Please send me your address when you get a second! ❤
2 days now! I have emailed you.
