For those who are interested...
Becks has got pre eclampsia and really high bp, her whole body is really swolen so she's in hospital for observation etc but the good news for her is that she should be induced either tomorrow or sometime later this week. So yay she gets her wish and doesn't have to go full term! |

Well I kinda discharged myself. The specialist i was put under I don't like all that much (the only female one Palmy has, and I'd rather be under a guy) and we weren't really seeing eye to eye over things. She would rather me kept in hospital on BP drugs until the 23rd of Feb and induce then. I was not impressed and told that as my BP had come down, bloods were fine and no protein in my pee that I was going home today. She told me I could so long as I rest and don't do anything (DH is making sure of this - he took the car keys away from me The thing that annoys me is the dr I saw at the day unit on Monday didn't think I should be staying pregnant for too much longer and now they want me to stay pregnant for longer (I hate dr's at the moment) go figure. I'm hoping that if I have to go to the hospital again that I see the specialist I want to see and I know he will help me out of being pregnant. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I hear you - all along my OB told me he would induce at 36 weeks, then at 36 weeks he said I had to wait till 38. It's so unfair and by that stage you are soooo over being pregnant! I chucked a tanty and the m/w and I managed to put enough pressure on him that I got my induction at 37 weeks...
Hope bubs comes on his/her own soon! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I'm going to do the whole tears thing. It worked on the specialist I want to see and he knows what its like for a pregnant woman to be like this, his wife had it and he made sure something was done so he doesn't like to see his patients in the same pain. The thing that annoys me with the specialist I was just under is she doesn't have children so doesn't know what its like, she just thinks she knows everything as she is a specialist and has a whole heap of letters after her name. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Is that Kathy Gillies you are talking about Becks? She held off my possible induction (and I ended up going into labour by myself) too, but in my case (prev c/s) that was a good thing. My mw said she's quite nice.
Take care... the more rest you do it seems the more comfy you'll be (swelling wise). Although maybe you should have stayed in hospital for today... they have air con! ------------- |

Date Posted: 07 February 2007 at 4:44pm
Yeah I was under Kathy I don't don't hold all that high opinion on her at the moment. I know I am quite gutted as well that he is on leave, but he is allowed a holiday . I'm more pi$$ed with her and she said she wouldn't induce me until the 23rd which is a week over my due date and would let me go longer so long as the BP pills keep my BP down. Hello my placenta is not performing at full function wouldn't it be best to get it all out of me before I get all toxic  .

I just wish my fav specialist wasn't on leave Its just a waiting game now, the one I hate. I really want my body to go into labour itself. I could go against everything i've been told not to do, but then that could just lead to being put in hospital with no induction until then so hopefully not. I was reading my notes and discharge summary and they say i'm not due until the 23rd which is only a week out from my date but still 1 week is a long time. My MW told me she would rather me be induced around the 16th so hopefully she can get it done for me, or even earlier would be nice. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

With my c/s history, waiting was what I wanted to do so I didn't have a problem with Dr Gillies letting me go one more day (to my due date).
When's Dr Grant back? Maybe he could allow an induction on his return? ------------- |

Not back till March I think I heard. I had a completely normal induced birth with Andrew, noone up there is sure why she is making me stay pregnant even thou my placenta isn't working all that well. I'll just wait till then. I sure am not going back in there as a patient just to be monitered again. I'm not doing it all over again. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

oh that sounds horrible.
I think I would be a raving loonatic by that stage if it was happening to me. I told my mw I wanted to be induced at 38wks and she ust laughed at me lol. but I had no reaosn jsut the fact I could hardly walk I was that big. I hope you can get induced by the 16th. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Keep pushing Mummy_Becks - you'll be amazed where it will get you. Ring them every day if that's what it takes. The risk with preeclampsia if it's left to continue too long (aside from the obvious risk to bubs) is that it can cause long term liver damage to Mum. It sickens me how anti-induction these specialists can be, even when there is increased risk to Mum and bubs, especially given that you have gotten to almost 39 weeks which is considered full term. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I'm having a scan on Monday, I think they want to see how big he is and then look at an induction. I was looking at my blood results and one thing that is letting me down at the moment is my lack of platelets (down to about 115, normal is above 150) and hemoglobin is down as well, and uric acid (have no idea what this is - does anyone know???) is quite high at .36. My MW is good at pushing for a n induction if she feels her lady is not doing well and thats me so hopefully tomorrow we may get somewhere. DH told me he would be happy for him to come Wednesday next week so he can start his leave early. I want him out asap as its just becoming a joke with this heat. I know for sure that if anyone says "We need to admit you", i'll be telling them where to go and I ain't being admitted unless i'm having this baby. My mum was just like this when she had me and is annoyed that it has happened again to me and they want to keep me pregnant. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Hmmm, well uric acid in a nut shell for pregnancy is to do with hypertension and Pre E. This is from med lab in NZ "pregnancy ~ compared with the non-pregnant base-line, levels are 20% lower 1st trimester and 20% higher in the 3rd. Levels above 0.35 mmol/L in the 3rd trimester associated with hypertension are a perinatal risk factor."
With your platelets these dilute in pregnancy as we produce more plasma so normal is a bit sketchy, if its a little low it can stop blood from clotting, and it its extremely low its a sign of HELLP, the ladies I have known that ended up with HELLP had nearly no platelets, and had to have them put back in through an IV. Just a bit of my knowledge, hope it helps some and good luck!!! ------------- Kayla Rose is now 4! James Sydney is nearly 2! |

Becks - if the pills are making you sick - get some different ones - am sure there must be others that are safe in pregnancy - don't just stop taking them.. if you look for another solution and they see that you are willing to try then it's less likely that they'll just think you really don't care.. I think alot of the time med professionals tend to think down on people that just stop taking the meds.. even it is is because of side effects.. so ring em and tell em what the meds do to you.. might be another way of getting them to help you out as if there's no alternative and the side effects really are THAT bad that you have to stop taking them.. then they'll have to make a decision... if not, then maybe you might get something that works for now.
Just a thought - if they make you feel weird and woozy it could be that they reduce your blood pressure maybe al ittle too much which can do that too you. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

When I took the first one in hospital I was all over the place and Mareta came in (she is so lovely) as she was looking after me and took my BP and it had dropped from 150/102 down to 130/82. I know they worked but they worked a little too fast. She tried to get the dosage amount changed due to how they made me feel and was told they couldn't. Then When Kathy came in to see me the next day I told her I didn't like the feeling they gave me and could I try something else. All I got was NO. I'm going to talk with my MW about that as to me she (Kathy) should be trying to help me not make me sick. I'm willing to take things to make me better but not if they make me sick. I'm sure they are only trying to make me better but at this late stage of the pregnancy and with the heat I can't really put up with much mucking around. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Good BP is down all by its self (and all the resting I am doing). My MW is happy with the fact that he is 4/5 of the way down and she is hoping I go into labour by myself this weekend (wishful thinking). Once I have the scan and bloods on Monday we will be able to get a better picture of whats happening. If we need to talk with a specialist I know it will be a male one I get to see as I have noted my concerns with my MW about Kathy and she is happy for me not to see her. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I hope they go into something and settle into a decent pattern. I went to the supermarket before and alomst keeled over with one as it hurt so much, I rushed through to get the shopping finished just so I could get home. But Murphy had to be there and everytime I wanted to get to something, someone would have their trolley in the way - I pushed a number out of the way.

Well while I was in the bath DH got in with me (I love my new huge bath that fits 2 adults in it) and TMI he had a feel around up there just to see what he could find. 1 cervix still closed , or maybe just slighty opened, 2 something very hard pushing right up against it (def a head) . I see my MW up at the delivery suite tomorrow after having a scan and bloods taken (not really looking forward to the pressure of the scan at the moment), so i'm hoping for her to have a feel around as this (bowling ball) feeling ain't nice - walking is a mission, even getting up from a chair takes a while for me now. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I didn't ring her (oops) but with nothing regular I figured I would just be annoying her. I've got an early appointment up at the hospital tomorrow so not that long to wait now (still have to get through tonight). Once I get comfortable i'm so not going to move again. I got up before and told DH that I would so have an induction over what i'm going through now (only because that was all I knew after having Andrew). He told me I was silly (yeah I know I am) but I told him when he grows his vagina and has this heavy feeling then he can talk until then just put up with my complaining - cos this is just as much his fault as mine. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Yeah I just don't want anything to be happening around 1pm tomorrow. DH has a meeting with a guy in town that may lead to a new job for him (one that pays well and doing something he wants to do) so I really want him to go to that meeting. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Well all going to plan he should be here around lunchtime on Wed (or at least by the afternoon). MW told me that this time around at least my cervix is favourable for an induction (unlike last time when it HAD to be done for my health) which is kinda nice in a way. I have to admit thou it did hurt a little when she was poking and pulling things up there - I know all for the best. Only problem with having him tonight is I know delivery suite is packed. No spare room up there at all for anyone going into labour. Still haven't told DH's parents yet - I really don't want his dad to know as I know he'll come bounding up to the hospital cos he hasn't heard anything for 5 seconds. I've already told DH that if he even tries anything like that I will go out (probabl in the middle of puching) and tell him where to go (using some very colourful language as you do in labour ). I also have just arranged to curtains so that you can't see into the house from the back door which means I can lock the door and pretend like i'm not at home or asleep (i'm very evil) ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

The curtains are just clever - good on ya! I've only just stumbled across this thread so my PM might have seemed pretty random then, Becks! Wow you'll be looking forward to seeing the end of this pregnancy. Hope it ends well, and soon! Very exciting... for those of us not having to go through labour, I suppose! Good luck and can't wait to hear your good news! ------------- Andie |
