i just found out i'm pg, very but a little quite worried.
ds1 was born at 34 wks, no reason, waters just broke spontaneously in the night. he was in SCBU for two weeks whilst jaundicee settled & he learnt to suck/swallow. The whole separation thing still daunts me now. and am still hugely guilty about not taking it easier and going to term. i think it's because there was no reason for the prematurity...unresolved issues in my mind i think.
am now worried the same will ahppen. how ill i cope with ds1 whilst dc2 may be in SCBU? how will dh cope? i was a mess last time!
i know 34wks isnt terribly prem by some other stories i've read, but it was still an emotional trauma i wasnt prepared for & dont think i'm properly over. tears in my eyes even writing this.
will i be given any extra antenatal checks? is there anything they can do to stop it happening again? or do they not intervene as it was 34 wks?
any advice would help at this point. it's still very early days, am now 5wks pg.
