Pregnancy with Miss Bug third trimester

Approaching my 35Th week of pregnancy

I count my lucky stars to have got this far

Who would have thought at 23.5 weeks that i would be able to carry this bundle for this long.

I will tell you one thing though its been no easy path and not something i am at all keen to go through again in a hurry.

Each Baby is a true blessing and although this pregnancy has taken me along a path full of hurdles and big obstacles its all worth while..

I no one thing for sure my Ladybug is a fighter and huge fighter at that.

Recently at one of my many many Hospital Specialist appointments i was given another blow that our wee Bug had stopped growing and was far to small for how many weeks i am & that the chance of her being ok completely was slim due to the fact she hasn't turned at all in 3 months and was in a odd way the way she was placed in my tummy.

Also from the huge amount of lost fluid i have had, they are unsure of the damage caused to our wee fighter.

We were told its a gamble to leave her in my tummy and they weren't sure if its the right gamble but that was the gamble both specialist believed the best option for now. (Because of how small she was she wouldn't cope well out of the womb even being 32 weeks pregnant)..

I walked out of the appointment feeling so overwhelmed and my heart ached so badly i felt so helpless and the worry for my wee baby was over bearing.

It was so hard to go to that appointment by myself without Hayden there to fill me with his usual bubbly positiveness .

The next 2weeks passed with such a blur and i made sure i kept myself busy at all times as the thought of what could be was to much bear..

It was nights that were the worst Hayds being away at work and me with my not sleeping and constant pains keeping me awake.

It was then that the thoughts crept into my head of what could be and what if this happened etc.

I went to my next Hospital appointment and had my usual scans etc and prepared myself for the news that Lil miss Bug hadn't grown and that the plan would be put into play of what the Specialists were going to do from here.

Its such a long wait from having scans and tests done then waiting the whole day until 3pm the next day to hear the results.

My appointment went better than i could have ever imagined Ladybug had grown and grown at such a rate that she would be ok to stay in tummy till 39weeks until i have my csection.

She is right on the line of her growth so that's another great sign of her being healthy, She is small but they now think ok...

Walking out of that appointment i felt a huge rush of excitement and relief wow every time we get told she is incapable of doing something she defies the odds

Its mind blowing

So as i get set to head off to more scans and appointments tomorrow i have a renewed confidence that our wee bug will be just fine and now its just a waiting game until the time finally arrives after such a long wait that we get to lay eyes on our wee fighter

One of the things i take away from this experience is the love, Support and Kindness of those around us

i cannot thank everyone enough for all they have done
