Hi everyone,

I'm so sorry to be posting yet another anxious post :-(

As you know, on Tuesday i saw my consultant and i've started weaning off my steroids and my pessaries. I was on 20mg prednisolone a day, now i'm on 10mg a day (which i'll be on for the next 10 weeks then stop) and my pessaries will cease next week once i've gone from 2 a day to one a day to one every other day so not such a sudden stop by any means but i can't help but worry.

I don't have any symptoms and people keep asking me if i'm feeling any flutters of movement yet and i really don't think i am so the fact that i'm not getting any obvious reminders of being pg and coming off my meds which have been my crutch i'm stressing that my body's going to suddenly reject my baby.

OMG!!!!!!! I hate this, i really do!!!!!!!!

It feels good to type it out.

All was good at my scan on Tuesday and i have another one boked for Thursday so will just have to get through with my mind intact until then but i find it difficult not to worry about coming off the drugs that i feel have got me this far.

Ok, rant over!

 

Love,

Joanne xx

Hi Joanne,

Try not to worry  too much hun, your scan was fine. With my first I think I was 19 weeks before I felt movement but it can vary so much depending on the position of the placenta etc.

I didnt feel any flutters until about 18 weeks with my DS and when they started they didnt stop dont worry every baby is different my friends on their second babies felt flutters at 10 weeks i am 11+2 and nothing im not worried i am weaning off my progesterone gel already and lack of symptoms worried me but i guess our bodies will take over and it will be ok try not to worry.

Hi Joanne,

Your baby certainly won't be needing the pessaries now as the placenta will be supporting the pregnancy and is doing a great job of it. As for the steroids, you're coming off them gradually and are being monitored whilst this happens so they will be able to see what's happening.

It is still terribly early to be feeling movements for a first baby so don't fret that you haven't had any yet.

It will soon be Thursday hun - big (((HUGS))).

Hi Joanne,

Please don't worry about posting your worries, that's what we are here for.  It's totally understandable that you are stressed about your meds stopping, you have probably come to rely on them in a way psychologically as well.  Your consultant wouldn't advise you to stop them if your body needed them though so try not to worry.  Just keep those scans in your mind, your baby is absolutely fine sweetie.  I think it's probably way too early to feel movement either, I didn't feel anything until 18 weeks at the earliest with Jamie and even later with Zach.
