ooh good luck cottles!

amethyst...wth?? :dohh: ring them back and speak to someone proper! xx
 
Being the rebellious little soul that I am, I decided to ring L&D instead of just rocking up like I was told by antenatal. Glad I did, they were as confused as I was.

Are you labouring? Nooooo.

Are you sure? This is number 4.

Ohhh, you would know then :dohh: We definitely don't want you here yet!

I am now having to phone back antenatal and get stroppy :grr:
 
A little normality has resumed... thankfully. As normal as it gets around here anyway :blush:

After putting off an attempt to book me into the day unit for an immediate ECV without seeing a midwife or consultant first... EH?! I insisted on an appointment to see the doctor... Was offered the 6th of May? Hmmm no.

Much mumbling later and I get a miraculous cancellation that has appeared for tomorrow afternoon.

I am beginning to have doubts about my usually ever so efficient and lovely hospital :nope:
 
Yay soo excited for you cottleston, cant wait to see toby!! xxx
 
Omg girls this thread moves sooo fast!! Congrats to all the new mummys!! Hope you are all doing well? :thumbup:

I've come here for a bit of a rant actually... :dohh: basically to fill you in, baby is small (very small measuring around 5lbs now and not even on the scale) my fundal height as of tues was 31 weeks.

I had a presentation scan/growth scan last Monday and MW said that she's co concerned placenta is failing or that there is not enough fluid around baby so wanted me to go for another scan to check this....

I phone up today to chase up hosp appt and the scan they offered me was 6th April - I'm due on the 8th!?? WTF!?

So I go through to xrays who say that my referal wasn't put through as urgent but all of a sudden an appt turns up first thing on Monday? So why not give me that in the first place?

I'm so fed up of being worried now... Our hospital is a sham!!
 
wow the babies are starting to pop!!!! hope all goes well cottleston (sorry if spelt name wrong!)
 
oh moomoo! glad they got you a quicker scan...at least be reassured that the people delivering your baby are not the ones arranging the scan :hugs:

perhaps it'd be wise to be extra vigilent on baby's movements and any changes then request fetal monitoring to check HB all ok

Thanks Hun, it just feels like they aren't bothered. Maybe they are like that with everyone? :shrug:

yes the Mws are great there thank god..
 
OMG Cottles how exciting! Will be thinking of you and baby untill you update ^_^ Hope it all goes smooooothly x

Moomoo & Amethyst - Hopsitals are pricks. -hugs- At least you both got sooner appointments in the end! Lets hope they dont mess any of you around anymore... I know how frustrating it can be myself.

Im still getting these period-like pains. But they still dont seem to be leading anywhere. No show, no waters, no nothing. Just pains xD
Hmm. Bet its just a shitload of braxtons. Either that or I probably just need a good fart :/
 
Morning

Good Luck Cottleston. I had an eventful day yesterday started getting pains at about midday thought they were just braxton hicks and then from about 4 they started coming every 15 mins spoke to labour ward and they wanted me to come in so went to be monitored, monitor showed that I was having tightenings but when they went to check my cervix is was not dilated - they wanted to keep me in but I decided that we don't live far and if they got worse I would go back, have woken up this morning with the same pain but no show or waters breaking so I guess it is just a waiting game now.
 
It's getting all exciting for a lot of the April mummies now then :D

We should all have our babies soon enough :D

Could well be slow labour, even if it is loads of BH it's gearing up for the finale :thumbup:

As for being a fartypants, stick some beans on and then you will know for sure :haha:

Eek... My water broke about an hour ago. Had a couple of what I though was BHs, pooped and they stopped! Until I got back into bed and I felt them pop. Haha poor DF was worried about ruining the mattress- oops! :rofl:
Had my show at the same time.
Only had a couple of contractions so now I just have to wait. Yikes!!!

Good luck Cottles!!! i was about to PM you when i saw this post!!
:happydance:
 
Good luck Cottles!!! Can't wait to hear how you're getting on and hearing the great news Toby has arrived!!!

Gemsy - It could well be slow labour - some girls it can last a few days before real contractions set in - your body is kindly giving you a taster of whats to come (!)

I woke up at 4am with real bad stomach pains, but luckily it was justa toilet trip, if you get what I mean! But I have felt uncomfortable since so I am just guessing my body is practicing the motions..I would really like her to stay in there though for at least another 3 weeks!!

My toddler (25 months) is hoovering my front room right now as I speak - he is mad! He loves housework so I guess I am sorted for when baby arrives LOL!

Thank you, itve been really worried this time but starting to believe things will work out fine now!

i can't believe you'll all have your babies soon, i am so pleased for you! x
 
Just got back from MW. Bubs' head has eventually decided to start to engage. But only 4/5ths. I'm so going to be overdue. Grrr!

MW actually told me to eat pineapple, have hot curries & lots of sex. Thought they were all old wives tales! But if it's come from her I might have to give them all a go!

Asked for a sweep at my next appointment if I'm still preggo in 2 weeks. Which I probably will be! x
