Went home after work totally nauseous, like literally dying to puke. It lasted until I was home a while and then subsided. Slept ok for the first half of the night but woke up to HORRIBLE stomach cramps...I seriously thought that I was in labour and I remember rubbing my tummy and asking Dionna to settle down if it was her, and telling her that it wasn't time to come yet. I am not sure what it was, but it was BAD! Not even dramatizing it, it was BAD. Hopefully it was only some intestinal issue; though, I woke up fine with no crazy bowl issues...which usually follow cramps like I had...hmmm...I'll see what happens.
Laura - ugh, it does seem like from your post that Simon is being a bit distant...is this correct? (my DH and I are not perfect, but...) we NEVER sit in separate rooms unless I am cooking while he watches TV or if I have homework on the computer to complete...Is it typical for him to be this distant? (My DH and I are a little up eachother's ass, so we aren't that normal!) Also, I like your names, but is Archie short for Archibald? and Harry for Harold?
Natt - are you going to get a 3d/4d scan? I was thinking that I'll wait until I am like 26 weeks or more so that I can really see what Dionna looks like!
Update on sissy's labour:
She called last night, in a lot of pain. I tried to talk her through contractions by having her do low moans with her mouth relaxed, and visualizing herself as a flower opening up...Unfortunately, my sissy has never even owned a baby book or birthing book...she has never taken a birthing class nor asked questions about coping with labour pains...SOOOOO...she was stubborn...I'm not claiming to know all about labour, but it's been my mission from the day I started TTC to find out all I could about the entire process...and I have taken in a lot of information that seems to be helpful for coping...Overall, we ended the conversation with her crying and me trying to be comforting in a quite way. I encouraged her to practice going as limp as she can during contactions to help the energy flow through her like a wave...She texted me about 12-13 hours into her induction and said that she isn't dialating and that they are giving her a break to allow her to possibly eat, since her hospital still has the archaic standard of denying labouring mothers food...
So annoying, poor thing hadn't eaten in over 24 hours!
I'll keep you posted...
Question:
Do you plan on having a natural birth med free?
