from FairyNuff?

The last I heard she was measuring full term at 31 weeks and had been in hospital to be given steroids for the baby's lungs. This was a couple of weeks ago now, so she'd be about 33 weeks by now and they'd been hoping to keep baby in there 'til 34 weeks.

Just a bit concerned as she hasn't been on for a while and wondering if anyone knows anything?

If you're reading this FairyNuff, I really hope all is okay.
 
From looking at her profile she was on yesterday x

Maybe send her a little PM emma hun then she wont miss it x

Aw hi 🙂 I'm here... lurking!

I'm still hanging on, checking in and reading posts but haven't posted anything for a while. Am completely exhausted, am indeed 33 weeks now, baby is huuuge but they still don't want to take her out too soon. So I'm up for a few hours, sleeping for a few hours, doing a lot of lying on sofa with cushions propping up ginormous belly. 🙂 Am at the hospital every other day for baby heart trace and being scanned every week.

The consultant says she will be looking for any excuse to deliver as soon as I get to 34 weeks. So not long now, I think.

As far as the diabetes is going, I'm really struggling with the BG levels, some days I can't eat much and so my levels are dropping quite low and I can't eat enough to keep them up. Seeing the DSN tomorrow so will see what she suggests. She said to knock a couple of units off the insulin if I don't eat much, but that still means 28 units with evening meal so 'a couple of units' won't make difference.

Had such a scary hypo earlier, I knew I had to eat but I really couldn't understand how to make a sandwich. I'd had a glucose tablet but I guess it wasn't enough to sort my head out. My partner came in and found me crying because the bread board was dirty :/ I knew enough to shout him to come and help me, so that is reassuring!

So all in all I'm ok just very, very tired 🙂 thank you so much for thinking about me Emma x

Hi Fairynuff

Thinking of you over the next few days/weeks - hope all goes well for you and you start to feel much better soon - how lovely a new baby soon!
