ive got another bad headache today so my doula has ordered me to talk to my mw....shame shes rubbish and i can only talk to her between 9-9.30 in the mornings so im going to have to try n get hold of her tomorrow

 

[Stef]

Mine isnt but im hoping my name and user name on here gives it away.

Oh no at the headache Times that your able to speak to your midwife are pretty useless arent they.

I feel rubbish today, well i have the last few days but today in-particular. Ive been getting headaches too for weeks, but now there is added dizzyness and i feel sick, I havent been sick but boy do i feel it and today i feel worse than ever. dunno whats wrong with me and really cant tell if its pregnancy related or not but ive not eaten anything different to DD and DH and its only me that feels icky!!

Im finding it really hard today i feel so rubbish i havent made it out my PJs, my house work is suffering and poor DD is having to entertain herself cos i just have no energy and DH is at work

Meh, feel sorry formyself sorry for going on

xx

 

[moomin_troll]

do u have low BP?
think ive been abit too relaxed about this pregnany because i had migrains with zane i didnt think twice about them but u should get checked out.

im feeling pretty shitty and want to go back to bed but ive gtg to the nut house literaly for counselling lol and then get zane from nursery

 

[sunshinegirl]

Just called the silver star unit at the hospital. Explained that the Dr thought I would have the baby by now and as I haven't shouldn't I have an induction date. They have told me to come in tomorrow at 10 to be checked over by midwife and they will then give me an induction date.

Today don't feel 100% either. Got slight headache and feel a bit sick. Bump keeps getting firmer like a rock want to hope that things might progress a bit more today. Don't want to get my hopes up.

On Facebook I'm Nikki Todorovic so you can put nick to name. I used to live in Gran Canaria for 4 years thats why my Nick is Sunshine Girl.

It's one of those days for me too. I can't really say what is going on with me, I just feel "off". Had a terrible time sleeping last night and now I just want to laze around. I have seen spots a few times so I'm keeping an eye on my blood pressure but so far its no higher than usual. I really need to run out to the store today, but the thought of getting dressed is just about too much.

I'm off to the doc bright and early in the morning, which is sure to be an adventure since I will be taking my DD ages 6 and 8 along. My usual sitter has to go to the doc herself, and I couldn't get them to resched my appt. They are not usually misbehaved, but the last time I took Brooklyn with me (my 6 year old) and of course they wanted to check me so I stuck her behind the curtain with my phone to play a game while she waited....obviously she peeked, bc when we got to the car she asked "did that lady stick her hand up your tail?" Ohhh out of the mouths of children!

 

[CharlieKeys]

Sounds like everyone is ill or suffering today

I've suddenly developed a cold.... and I'm trying so hard to not cough or sneeze because for the first time in 40 weeks I keep peeing myself (at least I think it's pee) I have no idea what's up with that! Pretty humiliating though!

 

[Stef]

Must be that Monday feeling for us all.

Well I did want to slob around in my PJs all day but had to take my DD to A&E, she suffers with 'pulled elbow', it first happened as a baby and its been a weakness in her arm since, so of course yesterday, i was out with my family in whitby and some of them dont know this and did the 1,2,3 swing thing as she was walking and her elbow came out of joint, she wasnt using it yesterday and i was told i was to monitor her for 24 hours and if she still wasnt using to go back... so I spent a few hours at the hospital this afternoon, she was sent for an xray also but confirms no breaks/concerns so ive to continue to monitor and if no better in 48 hours ive to take her back again.

Jenn, Bless her, thats hilarious!!

Charlie, eugh at the cold. Typical for you to get one now.

[Stef]

I could do with a bubble bath as soon as Liv is in bed, sounds like a bloody good idea.

I am now sorted with the nighties but keep forgetting to buy some big granny pants!!

[moomin_troll]

Congratulations new mummys!!! Have updated 1st post

Good luck to all those impending... it's all go go go!!!

Had my boy on 4th August via planned c section. Stayed in hosp a few days due to feeding probs, turns out my lil man has tongue tie which needs clipping. Waiting for an apt to come through for that. They weighed him at 8lbs 13oz but I feel this is wrong as they weighed him with a big blanket on him and I think the blanket weight was included. He is MUCH smaller than my lil girl was and she was supposedly 10oz smaller... He is wearing tiny baby clothes that are meant to go up to 7lbs 5oz... I think maybe he was 7lbs 9oz at the very most. He really is tiny compared to what Ruby was.

Anyway, he's doing really well and tries very hard to feed, but I am also expressing to cupfeed him as well until his tongue is done. He likes his sleep and LOVES his cuddles.

Ruby is completely obsessed with him already and loves giving him kisses and cuddles lol she's going to be a fantastic big sister
