Thanks for all of your lovely messages!

We had a nice long chat last night after Kacee was asleep and we are both feeling more positive now.

The main problem is that Ellie refuses to slow down...she has been signed off work for a week but last night was planning which of her friends she should meet up with I've banned her from going anywhere but her Mum's and asked all of her 'friends' to say that they are busy until after Xmas in the hope that she will actually try and slow down!!

 

[scampbunny]

so - shes being a typical woman then????
good on u for trying to plan everything so she can slow down - maybe if she desperately wants to meet up with friends - that they come to her (and make their own drinks??)
i know its hard - i was put on bed rest on 23rd december before cayden was born, and i found it very hard - but luckily we were at my mums on xmas day so i was able to rest a lil - but i know how hard it is - espec if she normally likes to be the centre of the planning.....
tell her shes just got to get into jan, and the more days she keeps bubs 'safe' the better at the other end - 35 wks shud be the magic date....
stay strong - thinking of u all

sending you big hugs I hope all goes well with the scan on Monday.

Take care and you're in my prayers xxx

If doctors have told her she needs to rest.. then make sure she does. I had to spend 9 weeks in hospital on bedrest with my first.. yes.. 9 weeks! And that was only for health of baby... no preg condition etc.. for growing and thriving reasons.. so i could carry baby as long as possible. He ended up being born by planned section at 34 weeks, weighing 3lbs. He is now huge strong healthy gorgeous lad!

If doctors havnt told her to rest... but your just being lovely hubby and worrying.. let her see her friends. she might need the chearing up! As everything can sometimes seem a little "blue" when pregnant.

My love to you both and your gorgeous little growing baby.

Hi,

I just read your post and wanted to reply to say that you and all the family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am Rh Neg myself and with my little bundle we also had problems and concerns (and some painful injections in my rear parts - sorry TMI there!). It must be frightening for you both but I'm glad to read you are pulling together and that you are taking steps to make life easier on Ellie (and the baby!). She might be 'resistant' just now (coming from another independent woman who refused to slow down... ) but she will thank you in the long run.

Here's hoping bubba stays in a little longer. And the smaller they are the more they thrive when they get out. They are almost always little fighters. My DD was 4lb 12oz at 38.5 weeks and now she's a wee bruiser (so to speak!). She also eats like a horse!

Keep us updated and if you want to give Ellie a reason to keep her feet up, sign her up on here and we'll all keep her amused... you just might struggle to get her back off it once the baby arrives.

Hugs to you all...

So sorry ~ we have our fingers and paws crossed for you. We'll be thinking about you and sending all our pixie dust your way.

 

[NULAH]

Thinking and praying for you all.

 

[Boo-Boo]

So sorry to hear you are going through this worrying time, thinking of you...

Sorry to read this - not been on for a little while. I really hope the scan works out OK on Monday and Ellie can keep the baby inside for as long as possible.

I know it's nowhere near ideal, but 30 weeks is the cutoff in most hospitals for prem babies so it's good she's got that far at least

Will be thinking of you all.

PS - I too had difficult pregnancies for one reason and another - with my second, although I did need to slow down I was never really able to - a toddler takes a lot out of you and you always 'as a mother' feel that you have to be in control/look after your baby no 1.... I know it's no excuse but that's how I felt.

 

[Ware Bears]

So sorry to read this.

Sending you and hope the scan goes well on Monday.

 

[cap'njack.]

Thanks for all the

Well today is D-day (or S-day really ) I think we just about managed to keep it together over the weekend although this weekend we argued quite a bit (which we never, ever do!)

Hopefully come 2:30 today all will be clearer! Thanks to the magic of my iPhone I'll let everyone know the news as soon as I've got any for y'all.

 

[ema74]

I'm sorry I only read your message now. So sorry you're going through a difficult time at the moment, I can't even imagine.

Sending you lots and lots of hugs and pixie dust and hope everything will be ok.



ps. A friend of mine had to be on bedrest throughout her whole pregnancy and she's got the most lively 6-year old now!

 

[mummyal]

What a worrying time it must for you & Ellie. Hope everything will be okay and sending you lots of
