Fun with Jelly Bean

After feeling contractions in Tesco on Wednesday and us spending the rest of the day with jude wired up to baby monitors. I got up to the hospital today around 9am surprisingly Jude was still in the Delivery Suite where I left her at 4:30am. She was soon moved to Castleacre Ward. It was soon clear to the midwives that the contractions had stopped and all Jude was feeling now was the baby moving (with less padding Jude can feel it more)

Jude has now finished her steroids these where used to strengthen the babies lungs, because babies born before 37 weeks sometime are born with under developed lungs. Yesterday they changed her antibiotics at least twice, they are now aimed at preventing the baby from getting an infection.


She has had the baby monitored a few times today and his heart is beating strongly, she also had an ultrasound scan that not only showed the babies head had formed a plug stopping any more fluid coming out and showed him to be a good weight 6lb 4oz so he his looking healthy

It still is a waiting game and it all up to the baby now when he arrives, the hospital is happy for nature to take its course, wether that mean he's born this weekend, in 2 weeks time or carries on until 40 weeks. They would however like him to stay put for the next 2 weeks

Fingers crossed Jude and her belly still attached will be home tomorrow and monitored daily.

But baby and mum are healthy and I have to say I am proud of both my girls they have been very grown up when I have talked to them, they will make the best big sisters in the world.
