2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

[Dark_Star]

Is anyone else experiencing stabby cervix pains? I know it's my cervix, it feels just like getting a painful pap test.

 

[ClaireJ23]

MichelleDVM, I hope you feel better soon. I'm feeling sick too.

Dark_Star, I hope your ultrasound gives you some reassurance that all is OK with your babies.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Good luck with your ultrasound today dark_star. x

 

[tallybee]

Dark star think in of you and wishing you all the best for your ultrasound hun. Xxx

The girls at the gathering I was at last night guessed straight away so they now know I'm pregnant which was kinda a relief. They're trustable not to spread it lol but after tomorrow providing everything is fine we will be telling anyway x

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Aww dark star thinking of you hunnie, wondering if that 3rd sac has stopped growing hence the drop

Fingers crossed for you chick

 

[Lil_Pixie]

dark star. Fxed everything's ok.

Scan day today. I'm shitting it!!

NDH what's a free birth?

 

[Babylove100]

Good luck to those having scans today!!

 

[tallybee]

Afaik free birth is where you give birth completely unassisted x

 

[NDH]

Good luck with your scans today Dark Star and Lil Pixie.

A freebirth is also called an unassisted birth. Homebirth without a midwife. I think you said your sister had two, one planned and one not?
I don't plan to have the paramedics at mine though unless I need to transfer.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Oh yea she did! Lol the paramedics just chatted with her till the midwife came to check the baby over and put them to bed.

That's amazing. I wouldn't have a clue what to do with the cord and still by myself. Well, I wouldn't know how to do anything by myself!

 

[tallybee]

Yeah I'd be scared going completely unassisted. I'm planning hands off home birth again but want the mw there lol x

 

[Natasha2605]

Oh good luck dark Star. Will be thinking of you.

My OH is a star. We usually alternate lie ins cause of our work schedule but he gave me both today and yesterday. It's nearly 11am and I've never slept this late in my life!!

I like to alternate my sleeping positions through the night but can no longer sleep on my tummy. Boo.

Hope anyone who Is having scans today sees what they should xx

 

[NDH]

I would have liked to have the option of a hands off midwife, but there aren't any private practicing midwives around here at all, let alone being able to choose a hands off one I mesh with. Oh well, I know I can do it alone. There is one midwife actually who would travel, but she lives 3 hours away and during my last pregnancy DH and I decided that if we hired her we'd still be preparing ourselves for birthing unassisted anyway, so may as well save ourselves $3000
I'm not worried about the birth itself at all. I'm not afraid of going to hospital if at any point something doesn't feel right either, but it would be nice to have someone check us over afterwards - and do the cleaning up I do have some friends to call on though.

Michelle I wish I was only being sick 6 times.. im being sick over 30 times a day.. still managing to keep some water down so not ringing hospital yet already admitted twice

I was told Gababpentin (I was taking this for chronic pain) has been used in a study for HG.. well I had stopped taking it because of pregnancy and worried but I took 1 at 3am and my sickness has been reduced so far..

Dark Star.. hopefully it was just that 3rd sac that has caused it to reduce.. thinking of you. x

Pixie what time is the scan? will be lovely to see the pic xx

I would love a home birth.. but not allowed.. I would love a water birth.. praying I can have one.

 

[cheree89]

Thinking of you today Darkstar

Argh i can't get confy for sleeping either, it's so annoying!

Aw that's a shame about the mw thing. Here we can get the NHS to provide them but it's hit and miss who you get on the day. I am relying on my own assertiveness to ensure I dont get bossed around lol.

I can't imagine being sick that much, massive hugs xxx fx you can get the water birth, a lot of ladies seem really happy with them, don't fancy it myself but loads love it!

xx

 

[Serenjay]

Thanks Tally x

I spent a lot of my labour in a big round jacuzzi and it really helped with the pain.. when I was told to go on the bed the pain was so intense and then I needed gas and air and pethidine.. so I would love a water birth..

 

[tallybee]

I cant imagine labouring in a bed xx seems like the most painful counterproductive position to be in... I laboured upright and birthed sort of squatting before, just did what came naturally lol. First time round I was advised to have a bath and it was agonising due to being in a lying back position - I imagine having a birth pool would give better space for nicer positions but omg the bath was awful x

 

[Serenjay]

the jacuzzi was big and round like the birthing pools I spent most of it on my knees and hands and knees lol

 

[Natasha2605]

Oh gosh being sick 30 times a day must be absolutely horrific. Maybe I should be a bit more thankful that I am relatively symptomless

Was out with the kids today. They chose nice white and grey stripes blanket from m&s and a vest with Olaf on it saying "I like warm hugs" for the baby. They are so in love with bumpy already. It's beautiful to see
