I know my time being pregnant will end soon as we get closer and closer i am thinking how much i want to met these babies but also how i would love them to stay and grow inside a but longer. The doctors were now referring to me as a ticking time bomb and with having 3 babies so were the baby doctors. My doctor came to see me to work out a plan of attack they said with my history and all of their medical knowledge they didnt think my body would last much longer than the 30 weeks and even reaching that could be very tricky. Til this point they always said until 32 weeks they wont do the c section, but with my body not coping as well in the last couple of weeks they had to re think their plan.
They say to me if i get to 30 weeks they will plan to take the babies ... Hearing this is like finalising everything!! So many questions and thoughts run through my head yet i was unable to think past the fact that these babies could be here in a week. The consultants and the baby docs all had to have a meeting to discuss the plan and what they all agreed was the best approach. A baby doc came to see me also to explain if babies were born now or 30 weeks what to expect most of it was positive statistics so i felt reassured. Waiting to hear the decision was nerve racking although i put my trust they knew best.
The come to see me the next day to explain the plan and what was considered.. They all believed my body was close to the point that next time i got contractions it would be enough to put me in full labour meaning emergency c section and also being 3cm dilated and my membranes ready to burst. I knew my body was also to this point as i could hardly move had to shower sitting down and my walks were very limited b4 i felt huge pressure. They said they agreed if i get to 30 weeks it would be the safest time to take babies ... The baby docs also said they would prefer them to arrive in a planned operation as it lessens the chance of babys getting distressed if i labour again and the difference in babys born past 30 weeks is minimal to 31. They also told me they do not have a crystal ball they are going on medical knowledge and my notes. He said tuesday the 6th of august will be the date.
Both kane and myself knew that if i could make that date it was it the babies were gonna be here!! Reality hit us
The days leading up to it went by fairly quickly as i stress about my upcoming operation ive heard so many things i was more worried about that. I had full faith my babies would all be strong and healthy. This was also when the guilt sets in should i try push out the date what is best for the babies do the doctors know. The decision we made to go with the doctors is the one both kane and myself agreed would be the right one.
I am now massive, my tummy is huge and the babies are moving and kicking lots. They make my tum look like its been taken over by aliens it was sometimes hard to watch the movements and when i got braxton hicks it would shape very weird. Ive now made it through week 29 and on the home stretch til d day.
