in 6 weeks....
our baby girl will be arriving!!!!! gosh thats so so so scary!!!
i cant quite get my head around the fact that being pregnant is nearly over.... How do i feel about that?? I know i feel great about meeting our long awaited and wanted baby girl, and having her home with us, but as me and adam have discussed this will be our one and only child so i wont ever be pregnant again, which means i wont feel any more babies in my tummy! on the other hand, i am getting fed up with being the size of a small country, and the heartburn and the breathlessness.... although its all i ever wanted, i am looking forward to having me back!!
baby is kicking well and growing perfectly in spite of my diabetes and my huuuge appetite.... i have only put on 8 kgs so far which is fine as i had a few extra to begin with !! i have just finished 2 weeks of home ivs, and i also had a realy had cold/fluy type thing which left me knackered but i seem to have past that now, my lung function is sitting at a constant 74% which i am pleased with. had to cancel diabetic clinic as i was poorly but i am going this thursday at which i hope to discuss birth options, which i am leaning towards a c section but will see what the obs has to say...
also have 4d scan on friday which i am soooooo looking forward to!!
nothing else to report unless there is a medical term for being lazy and watching tv all day???

28 weeks....appointments everywhere
Officially on maternity leave now, and i thought i would get a rest but unfourtunately not, started on IVs at home (meropenem) and have been trotting between leicester for my cf care, and northampton general for 'baby', so last thursday i was it ngh (northampton general) for diabetic clinic which lasts 3 + hours, including scan and 2 doctors, then friday i was at leicester getting my port accessed and beginning IVs, monday was chest clinic at ngh, just to meet up in case i have any issues when i have delivered, yesterday i had to wait for my IV drugs to be delivered, then today i am back at ngh to meet the anesthetist, will post what went on tomorrow, drug delivery again tomorrow and leicester for bloods, andfriday is a day off!!! next week is diabetic clinic and drug deliveries and leicester and midwife.... i think....oh and antenatal classes start.... and it continues like this for the forseeable few weeks.... manic
today we are seeing the anesthetist, i assume to make a plan in case of c secion etc.... looking forward to it as its on the labour ward and we wernt meant to see it because of all the swine flu restrictions but we can be cheeky and have a nose around....
last week when we spoke to the obstetrician, she thinks i will deliver between 34 and 36 weeks, depending on how my lungs are coping and my diabetic control (good so far) so if i deliver at 34 weeks it will prob be c section and hopefuly if i get to 36 weeks i can be induced.... time will tell, but baby has been breech at every scan so it might well be taken out of my hands...
cant beleive its only 6 -8 weeks untill i will be holding the little baby that we have been waiting for... its flying by....
going to the baby show on sunday so that wil be nice to go to... i like london :-)
