Subject : update on Riley

Well today had another scan and his growth growing has slown, at 22+5, hes measuring 19+3. Found out the placenta is blocked, the woman got a professor dude in whos pretty concerned with the fact my sister had the same and pre eclampsia and had to deliver my nephew at 31 weeks, same problem with mum too. So they then took bp which is fine, took a urine sample which is fine, weighed me and they're abit concerned ive only put on half a stone, which is weird cos i never stop eating haha,
Anyways..on Sunday and Monday gotta pee into pots for them to check. Then Monday gotta go to med centre and have bp/urine checked. Then Friday im being admitted, to be monitored and pumped full of drugs, steriods im guessing.,. they said it will deffo be over the weekend than more than week to 2 weeks...then basically they'll keep him where is he til he's strong enough them he will be delivered, so anything as early as a month, well from when he's measuring 25 weeks,
Hmm i feel like im watching somebody elses life..so scared..i feel im gonna lose him x

oh sweetie!
Can't imagine what you're going thru!
Sending you a big hug and hoping your little man is a fighter!
at least you're being monitored and they're doing everything they can to make sure Riley is doing well!

take care of yourself and Riley!

Oh Niki I'm so sorry to hear this - at least they have caught it now though so they can do the very best for you and baby. Stay strong and try not to stress cos the last thing you need is your BP shooting up - easier said than done, I know. all your signs for PE are looking good at the moment, so hopefully they will stay that way and at keast once you are admitted they will be able to keep a close eye on both of you.

Hugs to you and OH hun, will keep sending positive thoughts to u and Riley.

aw niki how scary chick, I assume your mum had htis with both you and your sister and you are ok and your nephew is also ok???? Obviously this is a very scary situation but at least they have been monitoring you well enough to know now and take action to do everything in your best interest and your wee man - you just tell your wee spud to hang on in there and although he is keen to see him mummy early he needs to wait a little bit longer and steal some of the pies his mummy keeps eating.

Thinking of you chick xx

Hun ive just read your facebook too, and bloody hell what a horrible crappy time your going through. I really wouldnt know what to do if I was in your position.

Sorry Im not going to be much help, but just wanted to say that Im here if you ever need to chat, and were all with you every step of the way. At least they know whats wrong and they are doing something about it quick sharp. Im sure everything will be fine with little Riley everything just seems a little daunting at the moment and your bound to worry and think of all the worst case senarios rather than positive things. I truley believe all will be fine!

Hugs sent to you xxxx

Thanks Emma. Im really glad im over here in a way, the hospital seems alot more chilled out and more eager to help in a way, just not looking forward to being drugged up and checked on all the time, but i know its worth it for Riley.

Oh Niki, Im so sorry to hear you are having to go through this terrible time. Take comfort in the knowledge that the NHS are monitoring you well and you are getting the very best care very early on. Im sure Riley is a little fighter and will hold tight and grow nice and strong for you and Daddy.

oh Niki honey,

I'm sorry this is happening to you but like you say you've got the best care and at least they know about it to keep you and Riley monitored and safe. Like already said, try and feel reassured that both your sister and nephew are fine so i'm sure Riley will be too. I know you must be scared, make sure you get all the support you need. We're here for you too but its not quite the same as we can't hug you in the flesh lol - but still big hugs (((())))

Hi Niki,

Really sorry that your little one is giving you trouble already but I'm sure you'll forgive him when you get to cwtch him for the first time :)

I hope that everything goes fine for you both in the next few weeks, it sounds like you have an amazing team looking after you and that they care about Riley as much as you do.

Big hugs to you and Riley from me and Tinkerbean

It should go to whichever email address you've registered in your home page/preferences chick. I'll try it now and see if you get anything xx..

Just noticed your email button isn't activated. I think you need to tick a box in 'My Homepage' 'preferences' that says 'allow users to email me'...

You can always email me and I can reply though x
