[DaretoDream]

our plans for tonight (since we didn't get much us time this week) were to watch a movie and make it all about being together. He sat on his computer until about 10 then started falling asleep while watching tv shows with me (too late really for a movie) and he can't figure out what's wrong. :/

Not cheap at 400 but worth it in my eyes

[CharlieKeys]

I'd pay the £400 but then you have to pay a deposit of £1750!!! That's not possible now lol

Survived my GTT this morning, it wasn't bad, but I couldn't stop burping. There was another girl in there doing the 3 hour test, I felt so bad for her, she seemed bored to tears!

 

[CharlieKeys]

Do you just have to sit there for 3 hours? god.... I'm not surprised she was bored lol!

 

[TTCNumbertwo]

I only had to do the 1 hour test, so it wasn't so bad, but the other girl was stuck sitting around all 3 hours, you aren't allowed to leave the lab, ugh!

 

[sequeena]

My test will be 2 hours long, wtf!!

 

[DaretoDream]

charlie- yeah the 3 hour you have to sit there. I brought a book

glad you survived urs ttc!

What is a ward? I'm so confused? You have your baby in a room with other people?or just after the baby is born you share? And you share washrooms? Like bathrooms or showers?

Here you have the baby in a private suite where all the machines are housed in cabinets so it doesn't look clinical... And with an in room station for taking care of the baby and everything after delivery so the baby doesn't leave the room...
Then you are moved to a smaller private suite after the baby is born to stay. There are a few rural hospitals with less fancy rooms and stuff but most here are nice. The one I'm having Silas at is super nice and they are actually building a new womens facility that will open next summer that's suppose to be even nicer...

I just can't imagine sharing rooms with anyone ...

 

[CharlieKeys]

You deliver baby in your own room but if you're on the 'main ward' - then you have to share a room with six other women and their babies afterwards! Whereas if you choose the birthing unit (as I'm hoping to choose again), then it's your own room during delivery and after!

 

[sequeena]

This is one of the reasons I'm going to a birthing centre, single room to myself during labour and double room for me, oh and baby afterwards

 

[Love_Krystal]

Wow that amazes me bc I've never heard of such

 

[CharlieKeys]

The birthing units tend to let you out quicker as well! I had Stephen at 9.31pm and they asked me at 1am if I wanted OH to take me home there and then! He made me stay until 10am the next morning though lol!

IF I have to go on the main ward then I'll be asking to leave as soon as I've popped Henry out! I couldn't handle being kept awake by other babys (sounds mean but your own baby crying is distressing enough - especially as a new mum, it's very overwhelming at times) and someone I know who just had her little boy said this woman kept her up all night snoring!

Birthing units are def the way to go - you just have to be prepared to sacrifice certain things! The one in Watford doesn't allow you to have an epidural, if you want one then you have to go upstairs and stay there!

Mine is in a very small hospitals, any problems and I have to be transferred. That's the only worry I have about it.

 

[natalie85]

Sequeena mine was 2 hours!

The differences between the US and UK are so interesting. Some things that we "get" in the US really #@#)($* me off because I know the only reason we get perks is because we pay through the teeth for health insurance. So many things are unnecessary and that is why our insurance is so high! I'm slightly jealous of the nationalized health care because in the end everyone gets taken care of equally. I have great insurance so I shouldn't complain, but what we pay for it is ridiculous!!! That being said, I will happily be getting an epidural and enjoying my private room, guess I like being spoiled, ha ha!
