My last pregnancy (baby is almost 3wks) was rough. Told she was smaller. Told she was fine. Suffered severe gastro that lead to a routine app that ended in an ambulance being called/ecg/code blue and a week hospitalisation that lead to me getting a blood clot from an IV. Planned induction at 38+6 which was the best experience out of all 3 births but now pp I’m suffering hypertension and more blood clots incl a 13cm one in my leg. Low iron, low vit D, low thyroid. Side note baby is absolutely thriving but I’m exhausted with having 3 kids aged 2 and under by myself. So no you’re definitely not alone but you’re strong and you will get through this ❤️ hoping the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly x
I'm due 22nd May and also had my 28 week midwife appointment yesterday and came out with tons too, very low iron, had an iron infusion all afternoon, antibiotics for Group B Strep, 3+ leukocytes etc, always at appointments and spent ages trying to get my brain around them all and write them in the calendar to make sense of it, and partner needs a lot of time off work to look after our toddler, but as someone above said, it's not long now, keep your head up 🥰❤️
I’m 29 weeks and I had my midwife appointment yesterday as well, which also came out with loads. I was 7.7 from my GTT & 7.8 is gestational diabetes so I’ve been told I need to completely change my diet. My baby is only on the 14th centile & was on 95th centile for umbilical artery so that has to be rechecked in just over a weeks time & I have ecoli in my urinsry tract. This is my third baby & I still cried all the way home from my appointment & can’t stop thinking about all the negatives xx
Some things I forgot to mention that really helped me: - positive affirmations and taking time to just focus on the here/now - writing down any questions/concerns/thoughts in my phone to bring up at the next appointment - making sure you’re informed None of these things are your fault ladies ❤️
You aren’t alone! I went through the same thing in January (minus the GD). It feels like ALOT but you’ve got this 🥰 I’ve had seizures and collapses and now my body goes from borderline pre-eclampsia BP to ridiculously low (80/53), so i feel your pain with the appointments some weeks it feels as if I live at the hospital. Those last 12 weeks will go so quickly lovely and all this will be a memory xx
