OT - Baby Update

[cap'njack.]

I'm sure some of you remember my dash to the hospital 2 weeks ago for blood tests and the fact that the NHS had messed up the pregnancy.

Well my Mrs has just got back from the Consultant at the hospital and it's not good news.

She has been signed off work for a week through exhustion and stress (just basically a way of him giving her a free week off work as it can't be proved that she isn't suffering with either of them).

Her Anti D levels are at 4, which is the cusp of being fatal to the baby. If it was 4.1 then basically we'd be having a baby today!

She has to go for a scan on Monday to make sure that it hasn't spread to the placenta...if it has then it can cause a fatal heart attack in the baby.

If it has spread to the placenta then we are looking at days before the 2nd Lincoln comes along rather than the 9 weeks that it should be.

I need as much magic and pixi dust as possible please...I'm doing all I can not to burst into tears at work today.

*Mods, if this is in the wrong place then please move it*

Oh no, hope she gets plenty of rest over the weekend and the scan on Monday brings you both good news. Love to you all xxx

what a scarey time! My thoughts are with you x

 

[angel_nix]

How awful, keeping everything crossed that things are OK on Monday and that baby stays cooking for a bit longer. How many weeks is Ellie now?

Do you have an understanding boss who would let you have time off? You could always go to your GP and be signed off sick aswell if things get too much for you.

((hugs)) to you all

 

[cap'njack.]

Thank you all very much

She had anti bodies which were created when Kacee was born so she didn't have it with Kacee but they were aware of it from the beginning of this pregnancy which makes it more annoying that they did nothing about it!

She is 30 weeks tomorrow. My boss is a bit of a numpty (the strongest word I can use here) it would have to be through the GP more than anything...I'm off from Tuesday until the New Year so that should give us both a bit of a break!

Oh no John

Hoping everything is ok with the scan on Monday.

 

[MrsTigger]

huge hugs john!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

havin been thru pregnancy problems both times, i am perfectly aware of how scary this is for u both - and of course made worse by the bhs.

am sending lots of love to ellie, and know its not easy, but try and get her to relax - she will know in herself that baby is ok, and tell her to stay positive.

anti d is one thing i dont know much about, pregnancy wise, but am i right in its the injection she shud have??? and am guessing she hasnt.

and on the good news, if the worst happens about 2nd lincoln has to make an early entrance, i know of lots of ppl who have had babies this early and they are fine - but i know it still doesnt stop the worry.

feel free to msg me if u ever need a chat, this time of year pregnancy is always high on mind as 3 yrs ago i spent december in n out of hospital......

thinkin of u all (ull need a holiday after this - dcr perhaps????)

love nikki

 

[britchic4]

Hugs to you both at a very worrying time. Hope it turns out for the best whichever way...

 

[Cyrano]

John anything to do with babies and kids has me

Sending you both and keeping you in our thoughts

 

[BRobson]

John - sending my love to you all Hope things go ok for the scan on Monday

 

[hollymattbenmilo]

I had two very scary, stressful pregnancies, which ended with two very tiny babies. 3lb mark. Be strong and make sure she is as positive as possible. these little babies are so resiliant and strong. AM sending you all my prayers, and I pray that both mummy and baby stay strong and healthy for the rest of the pregnancy, however long that it. xxxx

 

[jillrobinson]

Lots of love to you both at this very stressful time.
