[CharlieKeys]

Annie - yay for hte house Bet that's one less thing to worry about!

Jade - ooh I'd hate that - is there no way you can discharge yourself? Where i'm giving birth they try and get you out after 12 hours max... but when I had Stephen at half 9... when it got to 1am they asked me if I wanted to go home! OH said no! Is it a private room or do you have to share with other mums?

mothercabbage - yeeeeeeeeep proper scared now! But just want him to come now! But, the more I think to stop thinking about it, the more I end up thinking about 'when' Can't believe it's a week until August tomorrow!

 

[mothercabbage]

Im having crappy day. Had to call the out of hours vet today as our rabbit was poorly and shes had to be put down. I know its only a rabbit but its over whelming how emotionally attached you get to them.

 

[mothercabbage]

ive got 2 's, they may live outside and smell but id be lost with out them! so for you xxxxxx

 

[CharlieKeys]

aww Stef I'm so sorry I love rabbits!!! What was wrong with her?

 

[Stef]

She was loosing weight and not eating alot. I was also concerned at how much she was drinking too so i placed a marker point on her bottle yesterday and today when i checked it hadnt moved, she hadnt touched her food at all yesterday the only thing she would eat was carrot. I was worried about her yesterday and she wasnt full of life like she usually was and i had been away so hubby was just topping up food and water whilst i was away and hadnt got her out or anything so he didnt notice the rapid weight loss. Any way I also notcied that she wasnt using one of her hind legs either, her hutch is on 2 levels so im assumuming she has fallen from the top to the bottom and because of the weight loss she was weak and broken her leg, I barely slept last night worrying about her and i got up really early to check on her and she had severe diarrhea and blood was leaking from her behind but it wasnt just a small amount so i called the vet straight away, there was no way that i could of tried to hold off until tomorrow.

I got an appointment and the vet was lovely actually, he thinks she had dentals problems with her back teeth which he said would have caused the severe weight loss and also when looking at her leg he wasnt sure if she had broken her leg or her spine. He gave me a few options, one of those was to have her put in the animal hospital, she would have to be injected with painkillers every 6 hours, syringe fed and given something to get her bowels moving every 6 hours too, this was going to cost a minimum of £200+ with a 20-30% survival rate, the second option was to give me the painkillers etc to inject her with at home with a 5-10% survival rate or the last option was to have her put to sleep.

Because if it was her spine that was broken he said she would never recover from that and her chances of survival were so low and we cant really afford £200+ with LO on the way with me on mat leave, if i still had a few months before mat leave kicked in i wouldnt have hesitated but we decided it was best to stop her suffering and put her to sleep. I held her through the 1st stage of the process but couldnt stay for the 2nd after she had gone floppy.

Im happy in the knowledge she is no longer suffering but im livid. We only had her a year and a half and she was such a loving rabbit and soooo placid.

Sorry about your rabbit Stef

 

[AuntBug]

Oh Stef, I'm so sorry

Happy Anniversary Proudmommy! Hope you guys enjoy.

Glad you finally got in your house Annie

Jade, that's not so different from the US. Women stay in the hospital for 36 - 48 hours with a vaginal, 3 - 4 days with a csection. I'm hoping to drag mine out since my LO will likely be in the nicu. The rooms are all private, very nice. But it will cost me $3,500 for me and the same for LO expecting she'll need at least a day of special care, and I have good insurance.

AFM, my in-laws are moving down here today from Ohio! Now they'll only be 15 min away. It will be so nice to have family here, we've been all on our own with the closest family an 8 hour drive away.

 

[Kylarsmom]

Going home today ! Will update everyone with the birth story and pics soon !

 

[mothercabbage]

yey cant wait to read birth story!!

 

[sunshinegirl]

Kylarsmom congrats on going home looking forward to hearing in full about birth, Loving all the pics you put on FB

Stef so sorry I used to have rabbits, they are still part of the family.

Proudmommy Happy Anniversary

Mark&Annie At last you are moving back in your house. Made it in time for the baby

Tomorrow I turn 39 wks. 1 wk left then its just waiting. I was hoping baby girl comes before EDD but she seems to be in no rush. I have BH mostly in the evenings and it does look like bump has dropped. I have MW on weds so hoping she will say baby girl has dropped. I do feel her on my cervix more now but plug has not come away yet so I think I am in for a long wait.Maybe my Jenny reading might be correct. 9th Aug.

My house is clean as as new pin been cleaning for 3 wks now since I went on hols then Mat leave. Nx wk I think I will get all clothes out and iron everything cos not done that for a while.

 

[xxyjadexx]

Yay kylarsmom can't wait 2 see some pics! X

Kylarsmom - Yey! For home time. I can't wait to see pictures and hear your story.

Stef - Sorry about your rabbit. My Ali Cat has been out of sorts these past few days and I'm really worried. But I don't know what I would be like if the worst happened. Pets are part of the family.

Proudmommy - Happy Anniversary

Mark&Annie - Congrats on the house. I don't know the full story but I've seen in the past your tales of woe about the place and I'm glad it's finally coming together.

I've got nothing to update. Nothing exciting happening. Although everything seems to have become a sign. Every toilet wipe I check, every pain as I stand up, everytime I get a BH, every time I have a less than solid number 2 I think this might be it.

I'm getting impatient now. God knows how I'm going to be as it gets closer to my due date and heave help everyone if I go overdue
