Week 8
Scan day!
Well, it’s confirmed.
There is a definite little blob
growing in my uterus, and that blob has a nice strong heartbeat. I AM pregnant!
It’s not just some weird dream or something I imagined. It’s such a relief to
see it growing there, especially as I’ve had literally ziltch pregnancy
symptoms.
Another good outcome of today is that my obstetrician looked
through my notes, saw what happened with the boy’s birth, and immediately
suggested a planned C-section. It is such a massive relief that I don’t have to
fight for it. I had my notes and print outs of research all ready and waiting,
so that I could back up my hysterical sobbing/begging with cold, hard facts but
in the end there was no need. She suggested it with no prompting from me at
all. Phew.
The down side of today is the length of time spent here in
the hospital. Of course my hospital phobia had me all in a fluster, with a high
blood sugar after breakfast and a couple of high blood pressure readings (140
over 106!), meaning I was red flagged, and sent all over the hospital searching
for a 24 hour blood pressure monitor (which of course there were none
available). I’m now sitting in a room having a profile done. I think it’s
lowered already, pretty sure it came right down as soon as soon as the C-section
was agreed on. It’s hard to relax when I
know hubby is stuck at home with the boy and trying to run the business as
well. I was only expecting to be here a couple of hours.
Note to self – learn some meditation/calming techniques, or else I’m going to be doing this a lot!
