Your story is full of holes. Frankly I don't believe a word of it.
If you are pregnant then it is understandable that you are feeling fed up at 35 weeks, we all did when at that stage.
That does not mean that we all went searching for ways to induce early labour, we just put up with the discomfort for the sake of having a healthy, full-term baby.

You seem more concerned about your own well-being than that of your baby and that IS selfish whether you agree or not!

I do not believe that your obstetrician knows nothing about your syndrome. If he did not feel capable of looking after you properly throughout your pregnancy he would have referred you to a doctor who did.

ditto that daffy.

mummy....this syndrome is indeed rare, but involves the superficial veins and you vannot get a life threatening clot from superficial veins.This aspect is no big deal to you or your baby and the doctors know this.

Let your Obstetrician decide whether or not you go to term.

I am pregnant and high risk because of a heart defect, because of this, I am being seen regularly by a consultant obstetrician and a consultant cardiologist. It's up to them to decide how and when to deliver my baby.
The same would be true of your pregnancy, if you are not consultant led care then it has already been decided, based on your medical history, that you are not high risk. If you are under the care of a consultant, then they have all the facts about your condition and will make the descisions.

[ummmm]

There you go. Question answered. It looks like it's time to put your feet up and wait.

"he knows what they syndrome is obviously hes read about it but he doesnt know how its going to affect my pregnancy"

But you do?

"he knows what they syndrome is obviously hes read about it but he doesnt know how its going to affect my pregnancy" Presumably a doctor would know more than you? and again they would know more than you on the pregnancy side too.

so do yourself and your child a favour and follow your doctors advice. Let baby have best start in life as possible.

I had my baby at 35 weeks as I haemorrhaged and she was in special care for a few days with shock, low blood sugar and a hole in her heart. She's 2 now and has a few problems here and there with her muscles and is quite small.

If you can help it, please consider going full term as those 5 - 6 weeks are important.

I don't know anything of your syndrome but most high risk cases would surely been put under consultant care and C-section considered by professionals. I realise it's hard if you have ailments, but I was on crutches with pelvic disorder for the last 3 months of pregnancy in excruciating pain! But that’s the nature of pregnancy hun!

Good luck with what you decide x

Pinkypie...CS with abnormal veins? the last thing that the medics would want.

[Pinkypie]

sqad - I'm no doctor, just thought consultants would have discussed early labour if it was actually needed! That being my point!

[Sqad]

Pinkypie...and a good point too.

[ummmm]

They don't take the decision to do a CS lightly.

I have my uses sqad! ;0)

Just because 99.9% survive, that does not mean that they don't have health issues due to their premature birth. I agree, you need to speak to your midwife/doctor and ask to be referred to a consultant. They will consider the health risks to both you and the baby and balance those accordingly. For example, it may not be sensible for you to go through a natural birth, would that cause more risk to your leg? They may recommend a section and I am pretty sure you couldn't carry that out yourself!

sorry sqad etc - didn't realise there was a third page of posts :o)
