| She's in a Rush.... |
Well I had my 34 week obstetrician appointment yesterday and told him about the contractions I'd been having (as close as 10 mins apart over 4 hours the day before and irregularly for the past week). So, given Ned came early, he decided to do all my swabs and an internal to see what was happening. I am already a cm dilated and she is engaged. So my hopes of making it to 37 weeks are looking pretty dicey. I am not going to go into labour in the next few days but more likely the end of next week or the week after. Inconvenient for everyone really as I have lots of plans next week and Matt is going to Melbourne for an awards dinner on Friday. My ob is going away the week after next. So if she is going to come she has to either come next weekend (19th/20th) or the weekend after (26th/27th). I'd prefer the latter but it is more than likely she will come the earlier dates. Plus the hospital is overflowing at the moment so that's also a concern.
What is more of a concern is how DD will cope on the outside and if she has to stay in hospital after I am sent home. I don't know how I will cope having to travel back and forth to the hospital for feeds etc and with Ned in tow? I am willing her to stay put as long as possible and hopefully she will listen to me. If I can make 36 weeks at least she might be able to come home when I do.....fingers (and legs) crossed! |
