We don't have the kids this weekend and are going to a wedding tom hummm maybe sometime on sunday then,
I had an appointment monday with an anesitist (sp) as I am having Scarlett by planned section due to having 3 previous sections so this will be my 4th, I had some questions about Caitie's section and as I have a curve in my spine - the reason I was given for not being able to progress further than 3cm dilated with Bradley after 44 hours of labour!
Due to the curve and where it is it's hard to get the spinal block in place where it is ment to go Hope that made some sense? So wanted to talk it over with them also due to the complacations with Caitie Placenta was attached to my bladder. He told me that if I go into labour then they will do a crash section under GA but coz I had an allergic reaction to a GA when i was 7 that I would have to have a special GA coz if I had a normal GA it could lead to both mine and Scarlett's death something about smelly gasses and mussle relaxant that they use that I can't have. He really really scared me. He has written all over my notes about it that if a GA is needed then to treat is as HM or AH can't quite make out his writting. I so do not want a GA.
He has also told me that the section could take up to 2 hours! due to the scar tissue etc and the problems they are antisipating. Caities section took 45 mins from the 1st cut to getting her out then about 30 mins to close me up. I was worried about having a 4th section now i'm flaming terrified.
Then went up to see the midwife who was about as usefull as a chocolate teapot! Did't really answer any of my questions was more intrested in playing with Caitie who was with us. Although she has refured me to physio at last due to the curve in my spine and the amount of pain i am in with it.
The only good thing that happened Monday for the 1st time ever on the way home on the tube some one actually gave up their seat for me. Might have something to do with the fact tho that I was crying in pain from my back.
I had our 28 week growth scan Weds, along with my anti d OUCHH it hurt more than the claxine jabs and I thought they were bad enough.
Little miss Scarlett has grown yeahhh she has put on approx 11 oz in 2 weeks, now weighes and estimated 2lb9oz. So she has been a good girl in that respect but was a naughty girl that she wouldn't let us see her face, she was perfectly happy to flash her lady hamburger bits at us and I have a lovely pic of that but not her face. Found out why I am possibly haveing so many problems with my hips as well. Little miss has decided to get comfie and wedged herself in my pelvis she is head down with her hands at her head. Her body is wound round my right side as I thought and her feet are under my left ribs which is right where my stomach is will also possibly explaine why I have started being sick again. Was so funny due to the APS they have to do a bloodflow check as well Everytime he tried to get it little miss decided to kick her cord as though it was in her way so we had to start again. I so cannot wait to meet my little madam. Next scan 13th Feb I think. it's in my notes somewhere.
I am 29 weeks today eeeeekkkkkk we only have a maximum of 10 weeks left til we meet little miss!!! I am panicking now
