Will they intervene?

I am 27 weeks exactly tomorrow. I have been wondering when or if they will induce me or do a c-section. Nobody at the hospital has mentioned intervening. I think they try not to unless they have to. I see my consultant next Tuesday. I am going to ask then if they will do anything if I don't go into labour in the next few weeks. One of the doctors gave me a paper by RCOG when I was in hospital about treatment of women in my condition and there was some debate there about whether to induce women at 34 weeks or not. I will see what they say

Ramblings of a pPROM Mum

Yesterday my main concern was lack of movements from the baby. Felt some movement but not a lot. Not regular repetitive kicks etc. I worry I won't pick up lack of movement because of distress in time for anyone to help him. I feel no pain though. That is good. The day before yesterday I had achy period like pain from lunchtime until bedtime. Tried sleeping and paracetamol but the pain continued. I did feel the baby move more that day so maybe there is a correlation there?

M is in Nursery. Love him loads. He is amazing, so precious. This pregnancy makes me think I was very lucky to have him.

I am feeling okay today.

Hospital appointment this morning. They did a scan. Could only find 2 pockets of amniotic fluid, but at least there was some. Should be 4 pockets.... Took blood, did swab. All results from last time are okay. No strep b or Candida - yet. I have had both of these since my waters broke. I had my first trace, baby's heart was okay roughly 140 beats per minute. Felt him move a bit today.
