[JakesMummy]

Congrats Kenny and well done on a natural birth! I can't imagine giving birth to 2 babies - seems so surreal yet amazing!

Congrats kenny, so happy to hear the twins have arrived safely!!! Look forward to some pics when you're up to it.

Gertrude, hope you're feeling better, liquid bum is no fun at all. Glad you have an appt tomorrow.

Had a burst of energy today and dusted the first floor and finished washing and sterilizing all the bottles and parts to my breast pump. Still lots of cleaning to do in this house but at least it's a start. Ankles have swollen up something fierce after the cleaning though. Even managed to clear out part of a cabinet to store the bottles and formula in.

Question on birth plans, has anyone else asked for the antibiotic drops/ointment they put in little one's eye be delayed until after the first hour of bonding is over? Was recommended in my breastfeeding class as they can sometimes blur the baby's eyes and interfere with them focusing on Mom and Dad. So i jotted it down along with requesting that I not be given an IV unless absolutely necessary (don't want to have to be dragging the darn pole around). Understand when I get epi I'll need one, but at that point (unfortunately) will be stuck in bed as they don't do walking epi's at my hospital.

Congrats Kenny!!!

you know, the more you want it, the longer you'll have to wait...watched pot never boils sort of speak

 

[lilgemsy]

the womens. they might send me to the royal too yet!
im not too bothered though as long as it all gets sorted.

lol the hairy minge posts made me laugh xD
i havent seen mine in a while so god knows what its like!

The one week I'm not meant to be up there too! Not due there till next week

Hope you are feeling OK, hun. Must be difficult, have you got your Mum coming in?

Hairy minge made me chortle like a loon too. Keep hearing it being referred to as a lady garden and each time in my head I go "more like a lady rainforest at the moment" Poor boy will have to fight his way out if I don't sort it soon, been threatening to for weeks now. I think I'm in a bit of denial. Haven't packed my hospital bag, haven't sorted out my hairiest of hairys... think it's because we aren't quite ready for him yet.

Ho hum. Keep us in the loop when you can, Gem Hun

aww lol. well at least you have a week off from it all!

my mum is with me as much as possible, thank fook. shes coming the other hospital and scan with me later. if i went alone i think id break down lol. still dont understand why this is all happening really.

haha aww youll be ready when he comes kicking and screaming his way into the world!

omg only 6am and im wide awake. have been a while :/
my drip needle thing fell outta my hand in my sleep lol, oops.

kennyb - congrats! ive been worrying about u and the twins but glad to hear that theyve arrived! xx

 

[SazzleR]

Congrats Kenny! I think you & Tasha deserve medals - I can't imagine giving birth to twins or looking after 2 newborns! x

 

[happy_hayley]

kennyb congrats.
sorry abit of an essay.

had my appointment with the obstetrician i was at the hospital for 3 hours. i saw a midwife who looked over my blood sugar records and she said they were fine, she asked if i had a scan i said no that is nxt tuesday she said oh so what are u here for then, i said to see the obstetrician about this heart murmur she said o so i then had to go back out and wait to see the obstetrician, when i finally went into the room there was about 6 people in there non of them introduced themselves the woman next to me asked me for my blood sugar book then started talking to one of the other women about me as if i werent even there!!. They then asked me if i have seen a heart doctor i said no i am a/w an appointment she asked who refered me i told her my GP. then the woman @ the side of me said that if baby is big they wont let me go over due date (which i already bloody knew!), then the other woman said yeah the baby is growing on the bigger side of the scale and they will have to induce me if due date comes (which i had already been told!!) she then said 2moro ring ur doctor and see where they are with the referral as they dont want me to go into labour with and undiagnosed heart murmur. they didnt even listen to my heart themselves

so bascially it took 3 hours to be told i need to ring my GP and chase up refferal what a load of S**T well fuming. what a waste of bloody time. all that could have been done nxt week when i have to go through it again only this time i will have a scan for them to look at.

Hey ladies,

Kenny CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Pleased to hear you are all ok. I take it you are home now as you have updated?

Gem so sorry you are having such a bad time, I really hope things improve for you soon and that little Ollie is ok.

I am having an easy day today, have someone coming over to fix our fence and a short stroll booked in with my mum later but otherwise no plans, I think I am gonna do some work on the bag I am making as well as a little bit of housework but I really think it will be a case of putting my feet up today too!

 

[lisaed]

i want to catch up properly with everyone like i can at home but cant multitab properly on this silly computer!
but i am reading all posts, just cant reply to them realy cos by the time i get to typing i forget what people have said!
so anyone feeling shit or w.e then big hugs for you... anyone been given dates, how exciting!
ill do a proper catch up thing when im home...

no idea when that will be though.
scan didnt go too well... consultant said theres more an more showing up with each scan...
low femur length, small baby, low amniotc fluid, enlarged baby kidneys...
i now have lowish blood pressure too and vomiting more. bleeding everyday now too really an they dont know why.
so, tomorrow im getting sent to a specialist at a different hospital.
consultant here is hoping specialist agrees that ill need an induction/section asap.
so just have to wait an see what tomorrow brings.

stressed is an understatement for how im feeling :/

ah gem your ending up in the womens now after all! i had two babies there and they were fab no messing about. they have better equipped baby unit too so will be less worried about delivering you early! xxxxx
I am currently stuck in arrowe park hospital and also hate silly computer
good luck and hope your all sorted soon x

Congratulations Kennyb! Glad to hear your twins are doing well.

Got a midwife appointment today, think LO may have turned sideways but pretty certain she hasn't gone head down, fingers crossed though.

 

[cola pops]

Congratulations on your twins Kenny x
Hugs to all that need them xx

 

[smeej]

CONGRATS KENNY! Can't wait to see piccies. Hope you are managing to get atleast some rest inbetween looking after the twins!

Gem - so sorry that you are still waiting for answers Try and stay positive and I'm sure today you well gt more info - keeping everything xd for you xx

Gertrude - I've had a dodgy tummy the last week on and off too - plus a lot more nausea has come back I'm hoping that it's our bodies way of getting ready for our wee ones!!

xx

 

[smeej]

Had 37 week scan yesterday to check fluid levels, and luckily they haven't increased since last week- although still in high 30's.

Consultant wants me to be scanned again next week to keep an eye on levels - then i'm due in the following Tuesday for my Induction/Section!

I have a feeling and also kind of hope that i go into labour naturally before then - I'm just so big and uncomfortable. I can barely walk due to size and SPD and i can't drive anymore so being housebound is driving me nuts! - I'm so not used to doing nothing I'm not good at it!

Also, my insomnia is terrible - I literally lie awake for hours, plus up and down to the loo at least 10 times a night, and if i do drop off, it's only for about half an hour at a time. I think I'll actually get more sleep when bubs arrives!

Sorry for the moan...........just fed up feeling like poop xx

 

[gertrude]

ah smeej

 

[2ndtimeAbz]

Morning

Congratulations Kenny! Glad to hear you're all doing well fantastic!

Aw Gem, you think they would of made a decision by now - hope they sort out what they think is best and getting both you and Ollie feeling better soon!! xxx

I think the spot around 33-36 weeks you really do feel like crap, I was thinking, bloody hell i can't feel any worse, but don't know if I've got used to being a whale or it has improved I feel better now, so all the ladies really struggling - I hope the thought things will improve is comforting!!

On a non baby related front - the pen I lovingly built for the kittens has been breached so I pulled it down and just blocked off the dangerous areas, they're turning into curious little sods just as I need them to behave in time for baby arriving! Bloody cute tho
