Another trip to the hospital



Oh the Joys of pregnancy.
My first was so easy compared to this.
yesterday I had a rest day as instructed to by the hubby, it helped a little, but went to bed having yet more cramps and Braxton hicks. I didn't have a great night sleep.
I just couldn't get comfortable at all, kept getting really hot, to the point I was sweating buckets. it's the middle of winter.
The cramping was worse this morning. I had lost a fair but of my plug yesterday and a little but more this morning. So phoned up my maternity ward, to be told to come in.
They did the same checks as last time, checked blood pressure, which was normal 104/62 and my plus that was a little high 101bmp.
put me on the baby monitor, they said baby was happy my when I look at the chart and see how many times his heart rate dropped I kinda beg to differ. But hey they are the midwife they know what to look out for.
they checked my cervix, which is closed so that's good, and baby is engaged. 4/5th.
They said the loss of my plug could have been due to having been checked at the weekend.
I am to take it easy and to look after myself, their words.
Like that's going to be easy with a 10 month old who's into everything at the moment.
I was told that if I get any bright red blood then to call up, makes me think they are a little concerned about pre-term labour.
The midwife there wasn't happy that my bump has seemed to shrunk and is now measuring 2 weeks behind, but because my actual midwife wrote in my notes to book a growth scan at 34 weeks if still concerned about growth, they didn't book one there.
So now it's a weeks wait before I see my midwife. hopefully she'll she where they have plotted me and actually book a scan without me having to say something.
Right as it has just gone midnight and I am feeling restless and uncomfortable and have a bit of cramping I'm going to end it there and try and get some sleep.
