  • the sparkling illness update

    I've posted about eleanor separately as I can't believe I'm about to post this.

    I was seen on the antenatal day unit today as eleanor was in and i couldn't get back to see the midwife.  Anyway i explained the whole got a chest infection thing and the midwife wasn't convinced and insisted on taking a PET screen set of bloods.  Now I really didn't want to hear that word today but anyway yes I'm being screed for the dreaded pre eclampsia already.

    The good pressure is that there are no protein markers or high blood pressure.

    The bad news is that there are some elevated numbers relating to my liver function which might be a cause for concern.

    When I left there this evening the hadn't tracked my consultant down but were looking for him to try and see me tomorrow - WTF! Anyway i have to have repeat bloods done on friday to see if this is a blip or if there is a problem that needs monitoring.

    I'm truly gutted.  I thought it was just a respiratory/ cold/ infection issue but it would appear that it's probably not.

    I have to see my GP tomorrow afternoon, hopefully and Obs consultant will track me down on childrens ward and not look too concerned. 

    Tomorrow night I'm going to pack my bag.  I fear that Mr S is in for a hard time with Eleanor on the 1st floor and me on the ground floor of that hospital.

    At least they released me today but I am absolutely f'ing terrified.  THis was not in the plan. 

    I think i might have finished work and my sick note might now be for a month. 

    All the things I didn't want to happen are happening and I'm not liking it much.

    thanks for your ongoing support it's really helpful.

    sparkling 28+3 and desperately counting!

  • Re: the sparkling illness update

    Really, really hope this is just a blip and all will be well on Friday.

    Loads of positive vibes coming your way for you, baby and E (and poor Mr Sparkling!)

  • Re: the sparkling illness update

    thanks everyone there was always a chance that something like this was going to happen.  Theoretically it's happened later than it did last time but i honestly hoped to be having this conversation at about 36 weeks instead.

    Anyway there's nothing i can do until I have more bloods on friday.

    Right now i have to go and cook tea otherwise there'll be another crisis.  Option 1 is knackered as the chinese is closed on tuesday!

  • Re: the sparkling illness update

    Oh goodness Sparkling. I can absolutely see why this is scaring the bejesus out of you.

    Hopefully things will come back ok tomorrow and it is just a blip. I'm sure the stress and worry about E is making things worse, hence the blip. I'm so hoping that is the case and its nothing to worry about. Everything has been absolutely fine so far, so chances are, all is well.

    Hug for you though, as the mere thought of getting PE again makes me feel sick, and you had a much worse experience than me and O.

    I hope that Friday's results are reassuring and that this is just a blip. xxx

  • Re: the sparkling illness update

    Oh Sparkling, I so hope this is not what you think it is, and if it is that they hold you out for as long as possible so you get to post numbers beginning with 3 after your name!  Fingers crossed it's just a blip and you will go back to your boringly healthy pregnancy (and the sodding cold sods right off of course).  Just hold onto the fact that baby S #2 is so much bigger and stronger already than E was, you are obviously growing him/her so well and I hope he/she gets to stay in for some time to come.  Hug

  • Re: the sparkling illness update

    Oh dear.  I hope that they don't make you stay in, but if they do I'll be down with cake (I seem to remember that was a prerequisite of being appointed your PP)

    Apologies for lack of capital letters - Zoe has stolen my shift key Huh?
