id of walked out after a hour! she even tried to say my next appointment if i need it in 2 weeks is at the surgery...my last mw came out to me so ile expect the same this time thank you very much lol

 

[BattyNora]

I still think midwives coming out to you is a myth! There is no way mine would, it's far too much of an inconvenience to her.

 

[Stef]

Argghh roll on dark nights!! I love my daughter but my god I wish she would stop argusing that its not bed time because it isnt dark and just go to bed!! Grrrr. Even with a black out blind she isnt fooled.

My midwife also checks back to my previous readings about my blood pressure.

I cant beleive they dont want to see you until 11th August BattyNora

2 hours Jade, i'd have given up and walked out I think.

When I had Olivia from 36 weeks the MW's used to do home visits, now everything is done at my drs surgery. Im not doing a birth plan this time as I dont want to be disapointed again but i remember either 36 or 38 weeks she came out to go through my birth plan with me for an hours appointment. So much has changed in a few years.

Moomin and BattyNora

..........

So far I've walked for 3hrs, had clary sage bath, eaten eye-wateringly spicy indian, and am about to eat 3 pineapples while drinking alternate cups of raspberry leaf tea, peppermint tea, and parsley tea... so far all I've got to show for it is the fact I've lost a filling, and I now have back ache.... I will soldier on and keep you updated...

i hate seeing people try to bring on labout because 9 times out of 10 all it does is cause a long early labour or just back ache

i have been tempted to open the clary sage myself tho lol but im being good, id like corey to stay in there for abit longer haha

 

[Stef]

To be honest im jubias if anything really works as I never went into labour at all with my first, infact I didnt even become favorable. really hoping this isnt the case for me this time too.

Normally I'd be right there with you hon but just want to take advantage of the fact he's head down again, in case he switches again and I definitely have to have c section next week. I'd much rather go through labour and try for a natural birth if there's any chance at all to avoid another section. Up until he was breech on friday, vbac was the plan all along. I'm only trying it all this one time though. If it works it works, but if not then I'm not gonna push it and get stressed or go overboard

i heard on here that it worked so tried it and early labour started that day...granted it lasted for ages but it started haha

 

[tjw]

Well ladies, I went all out for it yesterday and last night and.... nothing just backache which lasted most of the night but has now gone.

I don't get it - my lil monkey has been trying to get out for weeks, and now that I'm encouraging him he decides to stay put!! Typical bloke, can'tmakea decision or does the opposite just to prove a point!! lol Oh well, will wait to see obstetrician tomorrow and see how we go...

 

[Stef]

Lol tjw, sorry nothings worked.... On the plus side, you haven't got long to go now either.

Xx

 

[tjw]

True, maximum 7 days

 

[mothercabbage]

tjw... do it all again today!! will keep you busy if nothing else! xx

 

[xxyjadexx]

had my MW appointment this morning, she said my blood pressure was really high so sent me home to have a rest and to go back later
im going back now, and gaurenteed my BP will be even higher with the stress of getting myself too and from the hospital lol (i have to go flag down a taxi and its mega hot!!)

 

[tjw]

Good luck Jade, hope it's come down a bit for you x

 

[sunshinegirl]

Hey Ladies quick question...I haven't bought nipple cream yet any mums have any recommendations?

 

[eandc123]

I've been told Lanisoh << I think that's how it's spelt. I've been told by loads of people including everyone in the breastfeeding forum on BnB that this is the only one. A tad expensive but the tube lasts forever and it's a god send.

That'll be what I spend my pennies on.

 

[AuntBug]

Oh no tjw, one thing I've definitely learned is that LOs have their own timeline!

Good luck Jade, take some deep breaths
