Gem, I had an awful water infection last time with DD and all they did for me was link me up to a saline drip and put loads of fluids in me. So I would recommend to drink as much water as possible, and some cranberry juice if you don't mind it!

and lemon barley water too you can buy the cordial of it (made by robinsons) no idea if it works but my mum used to swear by it and it tastes lovely

well I feel like I'm about to burst into tears my back hurts (just tired), my legs ache, my feet ache, my OH came back from my Dads today but is out working tonight then he's away again from Mon-Wed next week. I feel shit, alone and really fed up.

I want a bath so I've just had to clean the bath so I can have one. I've had a shit tea (quiche, why do I eat bought quiche? they're ALWAYS shit) and eaten too much yoghurt again.

I'm about >< away from having a full on strop that would give most 2 year olds a run for their money

hey ladies, i wonder who will go on mothers day, so exciting,
my mum and dad made me a cake last night, take a look - how cute is that eh

Gertrude hugs!

I'm being a miserable old bag today ( not that you are - LOL)

I had another sleepless night , got to sleep about 6am until 11am and it just leaves me feeling exhausted, frustrated and grumpy

Also, my SPD is soooooooo sore today - I can barely move. Plus our drains have suddenly decided to become blocked, so i can't even have a bath which is what usually helps. Won't be able to get someone out to fix it until next week now.

However - what's keeping me going is the thought that I only have 2 more days until I go into hospital to have my baby girl!!!!!!!

What a gorgeous cake! and how sweet of your folks to make it for you

xx

 

[moomoo]

Awww loving the cake! Sooo cute!

Gemsy - try and drink as much water as possible as if you're dehydrated it can make you contract. Hope you feel better soon Hun

gertrude - the feeling you're getting at night is almost definately BH! Where you are holding your wee in for longer it will make you get BH. I suppose during the day you will just pee when you need to but at night as you're asleep you hold it in a bit more?

It's been a quiet day on the baby front? Wonder who will go next?

OH let me have a lovely nap earlier whilst he looked after Reg, OMG I soooo needed it but woke up feeling worse? what's that all about? Lol! My little man picked me some daisys from the garden today, it made me cry - I'm so proud to be his mummy!!

How's everyone feeling this evening?

[bernina]

Beautiful cake, could go for a slice right about now with the cup of raspberry leaf tea I'm drinking. Come on contractions!!!

Welcome goodsammy, that's my birthday, wonderful day if I do say so myself!!

Hope you had a relaxing bath gertrude and get a good nights sleep.

 

[caro103]

moomoo, your son sounds so sweet!

gertrude

lyndsey, thats sooo sweet of your family!

my mum did my bp again today and its gone down to 118/82 , I reckon I got proper stressed yesterday and this added to a touch of white coat hypertension sent bp high , just gotta keep calm in front of the Dr's now! xx

 

[CaseyBaby718]

Question:

Does the baby move around during contractions/labor??

Just wondering... it seems it would quite painful to be in a contraction and then also get kicked!! lol

 

[CaseyBaby718]

OH! And I can't believe we have 12 babies born already!!!!!!!

Congrats to all the mommies who are finally holding their little ones!!! I can't wait to be there.

 

[MissFox]

Aww sorry today sucks gertrude. I have days where I'm just fed up also and it sucks. Hope your aches and pains go away!

THAT CAKE IS PRETTY!

Moomoo- I hate when naps make me feel worse!!!

Been having a few BH but nothing extreme- except for my headache! DH went with my mom and her BF down to the volunteer fire department rope rescue class. Hopefully he meets some new people from out here! And I hope they all learn a lot.

So last night I was in the tub and my little brother was walking by as I proclaimed that I was done with the bath- he opens the door (it wasn't shut all the way b/c he came in earlier to go to the bathroom) and sees that I'm sitting in the tub still - waiting to see if I'm going to be lightheaded from sitting up or anything- and he says I THOUGHT YOU JUST SAID YOU WERE DONE! And I responded that I was. He then walked into my mom's room (right next to the bathroom) and said MOM, SISTER NEEDS HELP GETTING OUT OF THE TUB! My mom explained the difficulties of the big belly and then asked if I needed help- I was already out by then but it was really cute because he kept coming to peek in to see if I fell- he's very sweet (and raised by a hippie so I had to keep telling him to go away!)

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Oh my gosh we have 12 babies born already!! How amazing.

Morning ladies and happy mothers day to us all !

I lost my wonderful mum to breast cancer 9 years ago now, and it's always been a difficult day since, so it's really special to be able to see it now in a positive light as I'm soon to be a mummy

Well I've been up all night again unable to sleep so instead of tossing and turning I've been watching lots of old episodes of OBEM

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Morning? Sounds so odd. I haven't been to bed yet. It's 1:00am here. Sorry to hear of your mom's angelversary, smeej, but I'm happy that you see the positive in it all. Perhaps that positive will turn into a birth before your induction?

About 6 years ago, my uncle passed away through the night. They estimated his passing to have occured around 2:30am. On the same night, just a few hours later, my youngest cousin was born. They were on opposite sides of my family but it was a great positive to something so painful.

I hope you can get some sleep soon. If no baby today, only two days left, right? So exciting!

 

[CottlestonPie]

Morning all!
So sorry to hear about your mum smeej.

Toby slept from 5:30 this morning and he's only just stirring now at 9:15! Hopefully it'll be the start of getting him into a nice routine before DF goes back to work. In the meantime, i think its breakfast time!
Can't believe today was his due day.

Fingers crossed for some mothers day babies!

 

[JakesMummy]

Happy Mothers Day all you soon-to-be Mummy's and already Mummy's! x

2ndtimeAbz and Gertrude and MooMoo - Ill try all those things and hope they help Thanks for the advice ladies!

Gertrude - Hugs for you! Hope youre feeling better soon. Its a shame that at times like those we dont all live closer so we could pop round for a cuppa and to cheer each other up eh haha x

Lyndsey - That cake looks absolutely scrumptious!

Smeej - 2 more days! wow, bet youre reeaally excited now eh? Or are you nervous? Ahh Im excited for you haha! Hope you get at least 1 decent nights sleep in before now and then though and that your SPD eases off a little x
Oh and sorry to hear about losing your mum on mothers day... must have been really hard. Its good that you can now have a positive view on the day again. She'd have been so proud of you I bet x

MooMoo - Aww, your little man sounds like a right little sweetie! ^_^ How cute!

Caro - Good to hear your BP has gone down

MissFox - Aww lol, concerned little bro! Cute The (and raised by a hippie so I had to keep telling him to go away!) made me laugh a bit haha!

Cottles - Sounds like Toby is settling in nicely :3 aww.

Ahh Im trying to enjoy today as best as I can but Im really not well lol. I got rushed into hospital last night because I stood up from the couch and just went really weird and my vision went all funny, got one hell of a headache and then started vomiting. Then I like passed out or something... not actually quite sure what happened. Just know that next thing I was in the hospital.
When I realised where I was I couldnt stop shaking and my head was in agony and I was still spewing up.
Doctors tested my BP and everything and it all showed fine so they basically told me they have no idea what caused me to go like that. Took like an hour for me to get my vision back properly and settle down again so once I went ok again they just sent me home with paracetamol and said to get some rest since Im at clinic on Monday so I can get sorted there if it happens again T_T
And then woke up today and not been able to keep any food / drink down. I think making me vomit is Ollies way of saying Happy Mothers Day, heh. >_<

On the plus though, my mum bought me a teddy and a balloon for mothers day with a card "from the bump" Theyre so cute haha! Cheered me up nicely

Hope everyone has a nice day. And woahh this is a long ass post sorry xD
