[mdscpa]

How are you doing Smartie?

 

[pink_phoenix]

Had to look up what that ment ha ha but yeah she does, it's part of her breed they either have one or two blue eyes
She's such a little oddity haha and such a little character

 

[MissFox]

It has been forever since I posted but I've read through the last bit of pages and wanted to say your bumps all look great!!!!
I've been busy with my oldest turning 4 and I have been off work for two weeks now as I have SPD pretty bad and 10 hour days are not gonna work.

I'm 34 weeks on Monday. Hopefully now that I'm home I can keep up in here a bit more.

Here is my 33 week bump pic

[WunnaBubba2]

Love your bump MissFox. I hope you get to rest up nicely so that little miss lady stays put a while longer!

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Okay just hang in there with me... excitement has got me and I had fun doing picture countdowns for my 20 week scan so I'm doing another one until my 3D ultrasound

[pink_phoenix]

Ooooh exciting stuff hope it goes well wunna
Has anyone else's tummy dropped? I've felt it a bit low over the past few days but even other people have started to comment how low it's dropped! Not sure if I should be worried or not.
Can breathe a bit better but constantly on the toilet for more than just weeing
Feel like she's resting on my pubic bone all the time

Oh dear, Sarah Where are they expecting you to fly to? It isn't nice that you're having to drag your DS around with you, especially when everything is hospital based. Is there no comparison sites to find a cheaper flight or alternative transport, even if it means an extra hour of travelling? Or a friend to look after DS or pay a days worth in a nursery as it'll work out much cheaper than a flight? It's awful that they're messing you around like this and flying in 1st and 3rd trimester isn't a safe option as it is, that's without additional complications!

It's a good few miles away just googled it 111.8 exactly but the way you usually travel is by plane so it's 45 minutes to the airport then about 30 minutes in the plane so the journey isn't too bad it's just you have to wait about there ALL day till the next flight late in the afternoon because there is only two flights a day like 3 times a week or something the prices are rediculus though I could literally fly abroad for cheaper yeah I've had enough of this midwife tbh she has caused so much unnecessary stress this pregnancy and then some so I actually have a meeting with the part time midwife (who is amazing) tomorrow to say that I no longer want her to have anything to do with my pregnancy as she has made so so many mistakes it would take me all night to list them down and she's just so patronising and just urgh and I know I'm not the only one who feels this way and I think a few other have actually made an official complaint so I may be doing the same! Her last big mistake or lack of care when it came to my pregnancy ended up with me being flown away to the mainland to hospital to be monitored and on a drip for a week when it could have been avoided and her most recent mistake I've heard of had a woman have to stay in hospital 8 weeks after having her baby due to complications that the mother had been worried about (pains) but told it was nothing by her!

But yeah turns out she made an appointment for my on Monday when there are no flights.... So she either just didn't bother her arse checking to see how I would get there or she expected me to travel over an hour to a ferry and then get on it for over 3 hours then to get an over 3 hour bus journey to the hospital then quickly get a scan done then rush about to get the bus ferry ect back.... So I would literally be doing nearly a full day of traveling... Even though she knows how poorly ive been this pregnancy... I really don't know if she's just thick or clueless or doesn't give a crap or maybe doesn't like me very much! I was so so angry when I found out oh and to top it all of in the first phone call I got I remembered to ask about a urine sample and swab that was taken two weeks ago and she goes "oh oh yeah... You have a prescription waiting at the doctors for you...did you not know?" And I was just thinking ehhh well no I'm not bloody psychic so when i went to phone to double check if it was actually there before we wasted petrol going to pick it up for it not to be bloody there.... Turns out she must think they are phsychic at the surgery too as she had never phoned for the prescription so they where nice enough to make one up for me before the weekend and ended up apologising and the lady was like don't worry it's not your fault...

Oh with all my rambling I forgot to say when I phoned patient travel it was a woman I kind of know because she has seen me in and out of the hospital here this pregnancy and she was the one that informed me that there was no flight on the Monday and she actually said about the midwife " Jesus that woman I don't know what she is playing at, how does she expect you to gravely by bus , boat etc with the state you've been in the pregnancy!" So she checked the schedule for the hospital here to see when the sinographer was next up and turns out he is actually up this Tuesday coming and the midwife LIED to me when she said he couldn't make it up!! But as hard as the nice lady haha tried it was now too late to get me a slot so she was nice enough to phone the hospital away and get me an appointment for Thursday when my mum will be off to look after Kian and my oh's boss won't be angry with him as its not such short notice , I could have hugged her for sorting it all out for me

So my stress levels are back down now! just not really looking foward to tomorrow when I have to explain the the other midwife all the reasons I don't want to see the shitty one again and list out ALL the mistakes and lack of care she had made in my pregnancy... I'm just going to feel so awkward

 

[pink_phoenix]

Aww Sarah you shouldnt feel awkward, she's put you thru it in a time uve really needed some one you should be able to rely on no matter what.
She should be lucky not to lose her job cos let's face it if anyone else fucked up to that extent I can imagine their boss would be ready to stick the boot in!
I only hope this new midwife is all you could ask for and more

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Don't feel akward Sarah! You've not received proper care from this mw your entire pregnancy and by grace you and baby are still fine. Things could have been different - what I'm getting at is that if she is not capable of doing a proper job she should not be allowed to have the responsibility of mothers and babies on her hands!

I'm glad your all sorted with the u/s. I'll be going for my one on Thursday too so we'll both have great updates then I'm sure

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Oh Pink, I haven't had a drop (I think). I have always felt a lot of pressure low down and have always been of the opinion that I'm carrying low.

I think if it should drop Matthew will be on my knees

I feel silly sometimes because I cannot like other ladies tell how he is lying, what movements it is etc. So chances are I might not even know if he drops etc. But like I've said I've always felt heavy in my lower abdomen and hardly get movements by my ribs. The highest I get is like 3 fingers above my belly button...

 

[pink_phoenix]

My bump was right up under my boobs but now it's miles below it. I've always felt presure down low but all of a sudden feel as though my tummy is just heavier and putting more presure lower down. And my back is killing me, I thought it was painful before but now it's just excruciating. Even getting up to go to the toilet has me in tears! Only coming on for 31wks and I just can't wait till she gets here

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Sorry you have pain I know it feels like forever but it won't be long still.

I completely forgot to ask (or I missed it) what was the verdict on whether you can birth naturally etc?

 

[pink_phoenix]

Well it was all still very much up in the air, went to see my brain specialist who seemed either un able or un willing to give me a straight answer so I left very annoyed to say the least, then at my next consultant appointment at the hospital no one had taken the time to put my details onto the system so the doc just spend an hour chasing his arse round. Then argued with me about my MRI scan from earlier on and also asked what the trouble was I was having with this pregnancy and what I'd been told.......to which i said I thought he was in the wrong room.
I'm honestly under the impression that docs just don't know their arse from their elbows and I was on the verg of telling them to stick it and I'd stay at home and take my chances on my own, less chance of someone else's messing up!

Recieved a letter from my brain specialist from his notes from the meeting stating he informed me he didn't see any reason why I couldn't have a natural birth but that he had also explained there is a low risk of it making my condition worse, but so can a spinal, and epidural and GA so it's really looking as tho natural is going to be the lesser of the 4 evils. I have the letter to take to the next consultant appointment in 4 weeks and hope that they have got their act together by then haha
Sorry for the rant I just really thought and hoped it would all be sorted by now, specialy as I have this awful gut feeling I'm not going to make full term. Think she's going to come a couple weeks early
Thanks for asking tho hun, although I bet u wish u hadn't now after this essay hahaha xx

 

[WunnaBubba2]

I would not have asked if I didn't care

I hope they do get their sh!t sorted soon. You have enough things to worry about + they've had A LOT of time this entire pregnancy to get an answer to you!

Are you nursery and hospital bag ready?

Gosh darnit (swear words I'm typing not close to what um saying ) I'm trying to record belly movements. As soon as I press record nothing. The I stop and Matthew goes crazy! He does the same with DH! I tell dh to feel or look and then he stops. Real sneaky you little bugger

 

[MissFox]

You ladies are having such a hard time with your Dr and MWs! So frustrating! I'm sorry you're having to deal with it.

Thanks hun

Well hospital bag is this week's job and still waiting to hear of a house we have applied to rent have accepted us so nursery could be a very very late last minute rush job. I have everything I need it's just all boxed up!

Awww I bet DH is frustrated ha! My little one only really moves last thing at night and first thing in the morning so only me feels her. OH has once and my mum waited about two weeks before she got chance....MW at last scan tho, complety different story.... She nearly kicked the probe out of her hand, wouldn't sit still long enough for dopler on the umbilical cord/placenta and was just a wriggly little bugger. She even asked if she ever sat still haha!
Am sure little Matthew will star co operating soon. I've tried the kick counter with same results haha!
Nice happy wriggly baby tho so it's a beautiful feeling a great sign from what I've been told

Sarah hope all goes well with other MW today
