Update on Ruth and me

Well we had yet another scan on Thursday to check for oedemas and lack of fluid etc and everything so far seems to be ok. I’m 35 weeks on Tuesday this week.

They have diagnosed this week that for the last 4 weeks I have had an irritable uterus (like with Hannah) only this time the contractions are much much stronger when they happen so a tad tired as it disturbs my sleep. Midwife came round yesterday and said basically it’s just one of those things which isn’t much help, but just to rest when I can, and if the contraction pre 36/37 weeks start coming really strongly to put my feet up and do all the normal things to calm them down as it can start off pre term labour sometimes.

So its a waiting game, but once I get to 37 weeks I think Ill be on a long hike somewhere to see if it will kick things into touch,

Congratulations on reaching 37 weeks Wend!!! I hope that you can carry on holding out til Ruth decides it's time to get going. I'll pray for power sleeps & chances for feet-up (in and amongst looking after Toby, Sam & Hannah!). Thinking of you all lots, Love Pipx
