At least you'll get the 3 months which is nice, too bad more of it isn't paid though. Will you at least get 6 weeks of disability pay? That's what ours works out to, then the rest will be unpaid under FMLA.

My girlfriend who is also preg experienced spotting after her internal as well, her dr even warned her she might see it, so I think it's totally fine.

Jealous of your painted toenails abz! Hope I can reach mine this weekend!

Lovely photos MissFox and SoulShaken!

MissFox and Soulshaken - beautiful pics both of you Both look like youre absolutely glowing

And like Bernina said, its probably normal. Everytime I have an internal I always have either red or brown blood afterwards. Usually have it before hand too though actually since its usually the reason I get internals lol. But still, I think the internals sometimes irratate the cervix a little sometimes so yeah probably normal

We can only get paid for our "earned time/vacation time" or sick time both of which I don't have much because I haven't been working there long... but DH is picking up some extra work so we wont have to struggle too much while I'm home it's not ideal, but we will make it work!

Thanks emmy and gem! Okay all this talk about toes, now I really want to get my nails done too, might have to this weekend as I am off work

 

[bernina]

Glad you're able to make the 3 months off work for you. Everyone keeps telling me what a special time it is and that 3 months is a great amount because it allows you to really bond with little one and even get them into a slight routine before you have to return to work.

Can't believe how much they've messed you around Gem, glad you've managed to get yourself home for a rest! Good luck for Monday.

Hope your appointment went well Cottleston and Toby is as he should be.

Gorgeous pics Soulshaken, really should have organised getting some done but have a feeling I may have left it too late now, nothing fits anymore!

Just got back from my scan, LO is definitely breech so have been booked in for an ECV on Monday. Am a little worried but do feel better for at least knowing what is going on now, am still keeping my fingers crossed for the birth centre rather than the hospital.

 

[bernina]

Best of luck on Monday loopy with the ECV!

 

[MissFox]

Good luck Loopy!!!

 

[CottlestonPie]

Good luck with the ECV loopy! xx

I'll catch up with the rest of the thread later... just wanted to update. Toby is still head down!! I'm just a paranoid moobag!
Turns out what I felt last night was his knee as he decided to roll over and go back-to-back again... so he's sunny side up but at least I can still give birth without a c-section hopefully! I've just got to try and roll him back over and get his knee out of my ribs. No idea how he's got it up there but it's not too comfy!

 

[Soulshaken]

That's what i'm looking forward to bernina! Can't wait to have some alone time with him and DH of course... haha

Thanks loopy and good luck monday!! Need to get these babes to cooperate! little rascals

Signing off ladies, time to go to work for the night, have a good one i'll catch up later

 

[loopy82]

So glad he's still head down for you, hopefully you might be able to relax a little more now. Well, that's the theory anyway!

 

[gertrude]

third nosebleed in 24hours I haven't had one since I was 7

I would like to say that this last one wasn't my fault but I suspect it might have been

MUST. LEAVE. NOSE. ALONE.

 

[caro103]

hey ladies, just checking in after a lovely sunny day! got all the windows wide open now and airing the house

Gem, glad you got home but how annoying they're making u wait until Monday! fx'ed they've worried you for nothing!

cottles, glad he's still head down! hope you get his knee out of your ribs, I remember the foot in the ribs all to well and it blooming hurts!

MissFox and soulshaken, gorgeous pics! I'm so jealous, kinda wish I'd had some taken but pretty sure they wouldn't have come out nearly as good!

Anymore babies arriving yet? I'm still getting the odd period like pain, but nothing regular xxx

 

[AmethystDream]

Gem - Yay for being home! Not till Monday? Are they for freaking real?! Would they have kept you sat on the ward all that time then?

Seriously, babe, get yourself to the Womens, they would have had a portable at the bedside or you in U/S within the hour.

CottlestonPie - Phew! So glad that he is still being a good boy.

I'm sure that there are others I need to reply to but I'm sorry ladies, I can't concentrate. Too tired, sore and distracted. I'll catch up with y'all later x

 

[lilgemsy]

Loopy - best of luck for Monday! x

Cottles - So happy he's still head down
Some of these April babies arent half naughty little ones already making thier mums worry already haha!

Gertrude - Oh dear. Nosebleeds are sucky D: Hope you dont have any more!

Amethyst - Its the womens where Ill be going on Monday And then back to Whiston at 2ish lol. Getting sent everywhere! And yeah, I think they would have kept me in the ward all that time because they wanted to monitor baby twice a day and because I was still bleeding a little bit. But theyve not figured out what was causing the bleeding and didnt seem to have any plans to do anything more to figure it out so I mithered them to go home xD
Hope youre feeling a bit better soon Tiredness and being sore is a pain in the bum! -hugs- x

 

[Tasha360]

Glad Toby is still head down Cottleston, lets hope he stays that way

Good luck with the ECV loopy

I think it's too thick to be waters sort of too mucusy. Have had really funny period type pains though today, so think I will go tomorrow if it carries on. Thanks xx

Just read something that made a little sense, apparently it is fairly normal to have a lightly green tinged mucus plug due to a very small amount of oxidised blood when it formed. That unless it is accompanied with symptoms of an infection (the biggest one of course being smell), then chances are that is what it is.

Have to be honest though, I don't know if it is curiosity or just me being a worrying sort whilst pregnant, I'd still be tempted to have it checked

I phoned midwife this morning again as Holly had a tummy upset, she said the same, thinks it's my plug, but to phone back if it gets worse. I see my own midwife again on Tuesday so hopefully she will take a look for me. Thanks again x

 

[DanaBump]

i'm watching obem and they're making the girl take out her lip ring.....i don't understand why?

 

[reedsgirl1138]

I see that one as well Dana...the only thing I could think was with pushing it may get caught in her teeth and rip...I never had to take my tongue or nose ring out so I am not sure.
