Amber says hello Quick update, currently 22 weeks, tomorrow I have to go in hospital for some tests and scans to see how baby is doing, what my next course of action is really and also going to have my gender scan! From what the doctors have said basically i have the same problem as Chrissy Teigan (John Legends wife) where my placenta just isn't doing its job so baby isn't getting all nutrients etc that it needs making it really weak and so bed rest was my only option and weekly scans to make sure baby hasn't got weaker and has grown at least a smidge. Depending on what the scans show tomorrow I may have to have the baby end of November earliest ideally!

I think the dog was making her laugh! Thanx guys My appointment today showed i was already 3cm dilated so had to have a cerclage stitch put in to stop it dilating more, luckily bed rest must have stopped this from happening sooner! Baby is measuring a lot smaller that it should be but that was expected, heartbeat was a bit slower and harder to find as well so got to keep an eye on that so now got a doppler at home so i can check every few hours. Got to go back every week for the same tests for monitoring. Also we are having another girl, not surprised at all that it's a girl, they have always been the hardest pregnancies for me, always the trouble makers and worry makers!!!

Currently packing my hospital bag and waiting to be taken in to hospital. Baby girls movements have slowed quite rapidly but also my gallbladder has to come out as it has basically folded on itself and at a high risk of rupturing if not removed. If all goes well i will be home beginning of next week but baby will have to stay in until her actual due date then depending on how she is developing etc.
