hi everyone
well to be honest this time round i was hoping for a much different pregnancy, with my son i spent 6.5 months in hospital and then he wanted out early 31.5 weeks and spent all up 10 weeks in hospital before we could bring him home.
so far with this pregnancy it is almost about the same as my son's. i have been as sick if not sicker with this bub, I've had now 4 doctors tell me that this is going to be my last pregnancy cause if i was to go for a 3rd it would only kill me.
3 weeks ago i was told that i have had a stroke, not a popped blood vessel but a stroke. leading up to it i was getting super migraines i would lose feeling in my right arm and get tingling on my left side. at first my doctors thought that it was to do with an old injury from a riding accident, but with all the "safe" test they were proven wrong. when it started to look like that it was in fact a stroke they then did all the "bad" tests to confirm their fears.
from what they have told me this is a really rare thing to have happen in pregnancy. there really isn't much information out there on it, there is lots on stroke itself but not much to do with pregnancy. my doctor is still trying to get more information for me.
at this stage they think that bub's is fine and wasn't effected by the stroke. so fingers crossed. but i know that bub's is ok cause there seems to be a non stop party happening in there that's for sure lol. with my son coming at 31.5 weeks they are saying that this bub will come around the same time but they are going to do everything that they can to keep bub's in there for just a little longer.
i still haven't gotten all the feeling back in the right arm but am getting there.
because of all of this my heart is now a little weaker and they aren't to sure why, I've had to walk around for days with heart monitors on to see what my heart is doing, one minute its fine and then the next it's racing and i have a pain in my chest, or it goes really slow and then really fast, the doctors have told me that when this happens I'm to call and ambulance and get to the nearest hospital as they don't know what will happen.
so between the non stop vomiting (and the Zofren not working anymore) and all the other things that have been happening. i am trying really hard to stay positive about everything.
next Friday we are off for our 19 week scan and to find out what this partying bub is, this is something i am really looking forward to, and i am really hoping for a little girl. but I'll be happy as long as bub's is healthy.
I'm booked in for a c-section on the 24th Feb 09 at this stage just got to get there first.
i hope that everyone is enjoying their pregnancies and that all is going well for you all.
