Hat off to Max

I declare this round a draw!

No really tipping my hat off to you Max!

I have been released from prison.... Erm I mean hospital! God bless the nurses and Dr.s at maternity!...

However, almost 3 days in hospital and my farts should come with yellow stickers! Too much? Sorry but hospital food! On the ward is awful! But in the restaurant yumm tiddly tumm. Hospital = kuuurrr-chingggg!!

Money money money. Food, car parks, two-ing throwing, kids being taken care of, after school clubs! On and on! So home now! 

Soo news update.....

Consultant drew up a plan of care for all to follow. I am still under 'ultra care' and they are going to follow this plan as long as possible. If they have to intervene before hand they have tried to give baby best chance via meds and steroids. 

They are hoping the plan can stay in place at least till I am 34 weeks. Then they would feel better about delivering baby. Meanwhile just monitoring my health and well being as the lovely lump in my tummy seems to be very well and doing everything to please the Dr.s.

This makes me happy that swaby baby is happy. 

Since being let home I have been monitored and so far blood pressure is being very well behaved. 

I have a handle on my blood sugars. My antibody count has not increased any more since the start of September. Scans show baby is all on track and the antibodies are not harming him right now. This keeps Kings College London happy too. 

The funky blood I have still has some of the midwifes asking questions and the screening coordinator are dig dig digging to find out how it got into my blood. As my getting these antibodies from the blood transfusion I had in 2004 would look bad on them I guess. 

I was advised not to have any more pregnancies after this one. Not only as 4 c sections are dangerous but all my issues make it hard to treat me, as one thing sets off another and so on. I was advised to be sterilised at the same time as c section. 

Omg right? 

They even said to Dave that it would be easier to get him done than me as risk would be lower - unless I had it done minutes after delivery of our baby. 

Massive thing to think about still can't get my head round it!

So I am being looked after at home. Dave has been amazing and my kids too. Both our family support is so humbling I can not thank them all enough for their kindness. I was advised to rest. One set of instructions I plan on following!

Nice restful weekend now. Started at 4.30 this afternoon with a long hot bubble bath, nails painted, lovely long hair brushing and back and neck rub, a cuddle with dave and a lovely big bed to look forward too. Baby giving me sweet little prods from all angles to keep me smiling.

Coming from a very loving and thankful place tonight. 

Be well to everyone and a massive thank you.
