I never joined this thread, but my little boy Jake would have been due Tuesday 13th October.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've had a couple, myself.



Congrats Aliop and Tazgirl! Post baby info if you want it on the front page!

I ended up at the maternity assessment unit last night, turns out I have a uterine infection, possible retained products and anaemia. This whole time, the midwives have been brushing me off, telling me that the pain I'm feeling is normal, my discharge is normal etc. Just wanted to say that if anyone has even the slightest feeling that something isn't right, then push to get it investigated. Stupid midwives, I'm so angry at them! I've been given a combination of antibiotics that are apparently the equivalent of drinking disinfectant & should kill everything and anything! Plus a scan tomorrow to see whether there is anything remaining. And on top of that, iron tablets and strong painkillers, that don't actually kill the pain as effectively as id like.. But enough that I can just about sit up and feed Oliver. The midwife last night said she wasn't surprised my milk never came in, my body probably just refused after everything it's been through!

 

[Rainstorm]

Charmed hope you recover soon so you can enjoy Oliver... Thanks for sharing this info with us.
AFM, ob App today. I seriously hope he gives me good news. Today is my 9 year aniversary, 4 year marriage anniversary!

Charmed, I'm so sorry to hear what you've been through.

Congrats Hit girl.

Sorry to hear you've been through such a hard time, Charmed. I hope the antibiotics kick in soon x

Ok so I saw my OB today. He will induce me early saturday morning. It was kind of a mess cos the hospital we were supposed to go to is in a financial crisis so he's having me go to another hospital. DH went crazy cos we had asked him several times if the hospital would remain the same and he would always say everything was fine, and now two days before labour he tells us we're going somewhere else, a place I've never even stepped on. I honestly didn't give a damn where, but DH was livid. So then he starts making a fuss of everything, that it will be an inconvenience if baby comes on saturday, that it's mother's day on sunday (where I live) and we will have to postpone the celebration. I could have killed him!! He's very structured and he was overwhealmed by the sudden change of venue, but he should at least try and pretend for my and baby's sake that he can handle it!!! Than he had to teach a late class and there was a bad storm outside and he left all the same and I was left with ds and a twisted ankle that is killing me (I can barely walk) and all this rage. Half an hour later he called and apologised, but it was such an awful day... So yea! My little girl is coming on saturday! Just two more days two go!!

Tazgirl, hitgirl, & Allop congrats!!

Rainstorm wishing you all the best Saturday - let us know how it goes!

Charmed if they have you on harsh antibiotics you may want to get some probiotics or acidophilus to avoid heartburn & recurrent uti's. When I got pneumonia with h1N1 a few years back they put me on harsh antibiotics and I was up all night long with the most horrific heartburn. And then, because those pills wipe out all good and bad bacteria I suffered a uti. Probiotics introduce good bacteria back which help you recover and avoid the nasty side effects of antibiotics. Are you still going to try to breastfeed?

Twag you're still hanging in there? Sending you

GP I had to laugh, you've got my daughters name a little messed up...it's MacKinley rather than MacKinkey

 

[Twag]

Rainstorm - good luck for Saturday sorry yesterday was so stressful but hoping all goes well for you in the new hospital

Still hanging in there I have my 38 week midwife appointment on TUesday so although I know she won't check down there as they don't I will at least get to know what madam is doing
I am SO ready for her to arrive tho - I have been feeling sicky again, still af type achy also, today I have gone through my mothers cupboards etc (I am at my parents house during the day as I didn't want to be home alone with my son & 2 dogs this close to the end) and sorted those so nesting has kicked in somewhat hopefully she doesn't keep me waiting too much longer

Sending labour dust to all those still waiting

I thought it was probably MacKinley, but you wrote MacKinkey in your post, and I was like, "Well, who am I to judge what people name their kids?" LOL

 

[Rainstorm]

Thanks Twag, I know how you feel.. At least you get some help with ds. I recruited my mom for today and my MIL for tomorrow cos of my twisted ankle.
Ginger hows Lucy doing? Did your mom get used to the name in the end?
