[smeej]

Thanks for the story and pics reeds- congrats again ! X

 

[smeej]

Can't believe yet again that it's 4.30 am and I havent slept yet! I need to be up and about in 3 hours to get ready for hospital appointment at 9am! I truly have become nocturnal

It's my pre-op assesment before C-section on Tuesday! I'm starting to get really scared and nervous about everything now

 

[gertrude]

Oh ladies I'm a complete emotional wreck again today what the fuck is wrong with me?

OH has gone away again with work, after spending 3 days with my Dad, home for 30hours and away until Wednesday night now. He's left the house a fucking mess, I have the MW coming tomorrow for a home assessment for homebirth and I can't let anyone in the house with it looking like this

I have zero energy, I cry at anything and I have a spot in my pubic hair that hurts so bad (I get them often sadly).

I need to find a way to pull myself together I really do, because sitting and wallowing just isn't an option today

*has words with self*

oh and last night I had a very definite contraction/BH. Went for a wee and when I came back it was full on solid belly and pain. I'm not even sure I can handle the blood labour anymore

 

[happy_hayley]

gem sorry to hear about ur funny turn hope everything is sorted soon and u feel better soon.
reeds congrats love the pics!!
sorry u feel that way gertrude hope u feel better soon, i had the same thing last nite when i got up for a wee getting it quite alot getting to the point where i dread going for a wee in the nite.
i felt quite sick during the nite and still feeling quite sick now.

hope everyone is ok.

 

[cola pops]

Ahh he is lovely Reeds,congratulations x
Wow Smeej, tomorrow is the day you get to meet your baby then. Bet your soooo excited. Sorry about your Mum, it must be hard, esp on Mothers day x
Do you manage to sleep in the day any? I couldn't function on that little sleep. Anyway good luck for tomorrow, I will be thinking of you x
Big hugs Gertrude, know how you feel hun. I cry at anything, this morning Darren asked me if I was ok and I burst into tears. i told him I wasn't......... I have horrendous acid that won't go and is making me feel sick, I am constipated because of the antacid tablets, have trapped wind, another cold, and shooting pains in my bits. He just cuddled me, which was lovely but made me cry more. I too have lots of housework to do today, i've already set Holly on with a feather duster, although there are more feathers on the floor now than on the duster, Lol x

 

[caro103]

to all those that needs them. Guess we all have to just think, not long to go now and we'll be cuddling our little babies too

Right best get up as we;ve decided to keep the hospital appt this morning as my nose bleeds still haven't settled although bp is def fine over the wkend . But kinda need to sort these nose bleeds cos can't really have lots and deal with labour at the same time! Xxx

 

[gertrude]

oh god caro no! nosebleeds are grim things and having them in labour would be the pits!

Well after I posted I went back to bed and dozed until now - seriously bonkers dreams so I must have been tired. Don't feel less of a wreck but more able to sort the day out. Have to meet a friend at lunch to discuss her wedding cake (I make wedding cakes as a hobby) then this afternoon will be a cleaning afternoon

I reckon a lazy morning followed by cake discussions will be a nice way to start the week

 

[caro103]

sounds like a good plan Gertrude! Glad your feeling a bit better! xx

 

[lisaed]

hope everyones doing ok! we all seem to be really fed up now but not too much longer and we'll all have our babies and be wondering what happened to the peace and quiet

gem: hope your feeling better or the doctors are being a bit more helpful.

smeej: good luck with your section tomorrow! i've had one and i know its nerve wracking but at least you know your babies birthday xxx

reeds: just read your birth story, sounds like hard work and a bit scary! glad your both ok he is gorgeous xx

 

[CrazyBird]

Aww he's lovely reeds, he has a cheeky looking face

Gem hope your feeling better now. That sounded scary. Hope they sort something out for you today at your appointment instead of fobbing you off.

Smeej good luck for tomorrow, you must be excited to meet your baby.

Cola and gertrude hope your feeling better, its horrible to feel so emotional, I've been the same the last few days, my oh came home from work on friday said hello and gave me a kiss and I just burst out crying lol. I think I'm just anxious to meet my boy and just want to know he's ok.

 

[lilgemsy]

Smeej - How exciting that you get to meet your baby tomorrow! Will be thinking of you and hoping it all goes well! x

Hugs to all of those who need them. Not much longer of this left now ladies... On the final stretch now eh! Just think in a month or less we will all most definately have our little babies and all these shitty feelings will feel like an old dream (or nightmare! )

I better go get ready. Off for yet another scan and then to see the consultant today. Hope they can actually tell me something useful today!

 

[SazzleR]

Thanks for sharing your birth story Reeds. I love reading them all now!

I got excited last night that something could be happening. Had quite a few sharp pains down there like bubs' head was engaging more. Then I had a lot of period like pain overnight. But then got up this morning to nothing

Cleaned for a couple of hours & now going to iron (once I've drank this RLT lol). Trying to stay active to encourage something to happen. C'mon baby!

DH breaks up for Easter hols on Fri so would be good if bubs could out in an appearance over the weekend as then he wouldn't have to take paternity leave & we'd be a bit better for money. My mum's also coming to stay next weekend so it would be good to have her around too.

 

[gertrude]

good luck gem - will be thinking about you xxx

Here's my TMI post of the day.

Zoe has her EEG this morning so I set the alarm early to get her up. I ended up resetting it three times. Finally, at 6:00am, I got up to go to the washroom. When I got up after wiping, I felt a little trickle down my leg. Not thinking anything of it, I wiped up the..ahem. As I stood up, I felt something slide and dangle out of me and when I got it, it was thick, large, pale yellow and streaked pink and red!

So I immediately jumped hubby, of course, and I remembered to orgasm as well. I'm now having consistent braxton hicks and have been feeling crampy along with them. Here's hoping something gets going, and if something is going, at least I'll already be at the hospital!

 

[Tasha360]

Hope this is it Brandi, good luck

Reeds, Gunner is absolutely adorable, well done you!

Good luck today Gem hope you get some answers hun, big hugs

Well im feeling a bit fed up today Had no sleep for 2 nights, the twins have been very unsettled and still have their colds. Demi is now at the stage where she wont let go of my leg, so im walking round with 2 babies in arms and one hanging off my leg lol and Jaimee who is usually soo good and well mannered has really decided to try my patience today. Also got loads of ironing and housework to do. I just need an extra pair of hands at the mo.

[x-Rainbow-x]

thanks for sharing story Reeds xx

Hope this is it brandi xxxx

I really feel for u tasha!, Ben feeds every two hours and by the time u have fed and winded him it feels like u are back to feeding again

have u got a feeding routine for the twins?

Ben has been really snuffly so ive been using saline nasal drops on him , he is also really really in pain all the time with wind, he eats sooo much that he is loaded so we have been using gripe water which has been working wonders !! (hes not strictly supost to have it till tomorrow)

i got him weighed today and he is now 7lb 4 1/2

 

[vetti1979]

4 days to go today! whoop whoop!

On my third cup of RLT, taken my EPO caps, cleaned bathroom and on second load of washing today after housework yesterday. Had some periody type aches thru night and this morning but nothing to write home about OH was hanging about this morning in the hope he wouldnt have to go to work too but is sat poised at his desk at work ready to drop everything and come home if something does happen. he read in his horoscope back in Jan that 4th April would have a life changing event so is hoping it will be today, he doesnt usually take any notice of his horoscope.

Really wishing bubs would get a move on now - would rather not have a sweep again or be induced.

Good luck everyone - not long now hopefully! xx
