Because she's big! And my sugars!!

 

[Mrsass]

Arghhhh Nic no way!! They wouldn't be doing it if they didn't think it was for the best so it's good they've kept close check on you, obviously you'll still be freaked out though! How big are they saying she is? Let us know how everything goes, good luck Hun xxxx

{{big hug}} Keep calm @ohitsnicola That's the best thing you can do I used to tell myself that that would send good vibes to baby

My 2nd child was born at 35 weeks and she was fine Remember twins are often born around 34 weeks.

You're getting the steroids and it's all been planned, so they'll know what they're doing.

Try to get some sleep tonight - it'll stand you in good stead. XX

Hi @ohitsnicola try get some rest tonight. All my 3 were born at 35w. Just be prepared that baby might need to go into special care for a bit if born this early. Thinking of you sending lots of love xx

 

[Sarahkylie88]

Good luck @ohitsnicola.
They will looks after you both, you will be in the best hands. Special care units are fantastically equipped and the staff are so caring. They will look after your little one! Get as much rest as you can! Hope it all goes well! How big do they think baba is? X

Il reply to everyone shortly but who's had steriod injections?! I'm due to have mine soon and I'm here on my own as partner wasn't allowed to stay on the ward and I'm getting myself into a state about having to have them! xx

 

[Sarahkylie88]

Sorry @ohitsnicola I have no experience of this. Sure there are lots of ladies on here that have tho! I've heard it can put your sugars up? X X

 

[Snapsy]

Hope you've had some rest tonight, @ohitsnicola - wishing you all the very, very best.

You've probably had them by now but I've had them.
They were nothing to worry about, I stayed on my pump the whole time and looked after myself.
The worst part is the hourly testing that they do because you don't get a good nights sleep.

Fingers crossed for today, will be thinking of you xxx

 

[claire1991]

I'll also add that after my injections my baby was fine and didn't need any help with her breathing.
She did rattle a lot and was very chesty at first but it didn't last long at all and she didn't need any extra help xx

Hi I've had them twice now a bit painful but ok. You will probably have had them now. x

 

[Deleted member 83869]

I've had my first one I had it at 1 am bloody horrible lol but not as painful as my cannula Which bled and bled and bled!!! I am on the labour ward now! (Not in labour) but get better care up here apparently! X

 

[Deleted member 83869]

Also on my scan yesterday the estimated weight was roughly 6 lbs 3 I think! Xx

Oh it's my extra fluid as well! And it's safer if she's out than in! Xxx

Good luck Nicola!!

I have nothing to add on the maternity front as I never got mature enough to have a baby, but I'm sure you'll be fine. Just think of the end result. I'm sure it'll be magical.

These babies are all worth it once they get here. Hope cannula not too painful. Are you on sliding scale? x
