A trip to the hospital

Ok so lets start of with what happened at my midwife appointment last week.
I realised that I didn't actually post anything about it. Well that I can remember of.

My blood pressure was actually normal for a change. Lower end of normal but it was normal. For the first time my midwife didn't turn to me and ask are you drinking enough. My bump was measuring 32 even though I was one day of 33 weeks, but a week here of there doesn't really matter, just as long as bump is growing. Baby's heart rate was a little higher then usual, 150bpm instead of 140bpm.
I asked about having another growth scan to make sure baby is actually growing. She said that I'd have to wait till my next appointment with her before she could book anything, as she needs to make sure my bump is still growing, but if it comes to my next appointment and I am still worried about baby's growth then she'll sort one out anyway.
Of course I want another growth scan. Having one is not enough to make sure my baby is growing.

I feel like my bump has not really grown the past 2 weeks. It kinda feels smaller.
What do you guys think?

 

 

I feel like my bump has changed a little since taking the photo as well.

 

Friday night was the worst night sleep I have ever had. I think I must have got about an hour broken sleep all together that night. My little woke up about 8 times over the course of the night.

I think it was because he's teething and he was cutting his top 2 teeth. At about 6am I gave up trying to get to sleep so started doing house work. In the space of an hour and a half I had done half a tone of washing up, that I had been waiting for hubby to do as he said he would, put a load of washing on, folded a load of clothes and tidied the living room.

About half 7 hubby comes down with our little one and tells me to go to bed. I finally fell asleep at about 8am, woke up at about half 11 12. So I got some sleep in the end.

We spent most of Saturday in doors. Being the weekend though we always go visit the in laws.

We had a lovely stir fry that my little one decided to bring back up all over hubby. Sorry if you are eating and have just read that.

 

I couldn't look I was eating myself, but apparently it looked like hubby had come every where. it was in the right place for it. That night little one slept ALL night. It was great. We all got the much needed sleep.

 

 

yesterday I woke up at about 11am (I know my little actually let us sleep that long, he was playing happily in his cot) with some cramping. It was on and off, but didn't really think much of it at the time.

We had to go into Havant so I could get some bits for my hospital bag. The whole way there I was cramping on and off and had really bad back ache. All the way round the shops I was cramping on and off, still not thinking much of it but was starting to get a little concerned about it. Got to hubby's parents at about half 3 4 still cramping.

My sister in law tells me it's normal and it's just Braxton hicks, Didn't have the heart to tell her that I've been having Braxton hicks since i was 17 weeks and that Braxton hicks aren't meant to hurt.

The whole time we where there my back was in so much pain and I was cramping on and off. It wasn't till we left at about 8pm that I burst into tears. I just couldn't take it anymore.

So hubby pulled up and phone up the hospital. Told them what was going on and they told him to bring me in.

So it was back to the in laws to drop off our little one. Hubby's mum had a feeling we would be back. Got to the hospital got strapped to a fetal monitor to make sure baby was ok and that I wasn't actually contracting.

Luckily baby is fine. I get told that I have a irritable uterus, then they started going on about pre-term labour and that I'm might have to be admitted for the night. They checked my cervix and luckily that was closed. So I was sent home with some painkillers and told to rest and that if I get the cramping again or it gets worse then just to phone back up. 

It had just gone midnight before we finally got home, felt really bad for our little one, having to wake him up to put him in his car seat and again to get him out.

 

 

Today, well. I've almost finished my hospital bag, I am now resting. I had some cramps earlier. Sorry another TMI bit. At about lunch time I felt like there was something leaking out of me so went to the loo, when I wiped, I saw what I think was my mucus plug. It looked like snot, with a yellowy colour to it and a slight brown tinge.

Because i was having cramping with it, I phone up my hospital, to be told to relax and take some painkillers. if the cramping gets worse then to call back. Luckily the cramping hasn't got worse, but I don't know if that's just because I've had painkillers. I guess i'll be able to tell in a few hours.
