thinking of you Mel x

 

[melissasbump]

Thanks ladies, ive just got home. So baby all appears welll which is main thing, its basically my BP which is concerning them. Slight abnormality with one of the bloods but nothing to worry about. Other than that ive got to "rest" and have to go back thurs for further monitoring and will probably be on a regular basis after that until the birth now which may be slightly earlier than planned. Just taking it day by day at the mo.
Sorry for not updating you this Hann, my phone died at the hospital.

Thankyou for all your thoughts.
Poor H still wasnt in bed when i got home hes been crying and crying according to Alan which isnt like him, think he can sense things are a bit amiss..

 

[Hann12]

I'm glad things are looking better than you thought. At least it's happened post 35 weeks so if you have to be monitored a couple if times a week you may actually only have to go in another 5 or so times which is a pain but not too bad. Better to be safe. Have an early night and relax. Hope H goes to bed soon too bless him

 

[Blue_bear]

Try your best to rest Mel, I know it's not easy! Glad your home for now though xx

 

[caz_hills]

So glad you're home Mel. we were all so worried about you! I'm sure H might sense something but he will be so pleased to see you in the morning, I'm sure and have a big mummy cuddle! I hope you manage to rest up and take it a little easier. Sending you huge hugs xxx

 

[Clareabell]

Mel. Have been reading. You prob can't remember but I had very similar happen to me with N from 34 weeks. Like you she was ok but it was me that was poorly. I was admitted for a few days and was put on medication to stabilise my bp I was checked every other day blood bp and 24 urine sample (peed in container for 5 weeks ) but I made it to natural labour at 39 weeks. It really sucks though and makes you feel so poorly. Try and rest as much as possible with a toddler

 

[caz_hills]

Hi Clare !!! Xxx

 

[mummySS]

Hey Mel so glad you're ok and baby's ok. All the monitoring is a bit annoying but at least it means you and baby are safe and looked after. What a scare! Hope you managed to get some cuddles with H, bless him he was prob missing his mummy xx

 

[caz_hills]

Morning girls - up early for work but wanted to see how you are Mel? x

 

[Doodlepants]

Glad you're home Mel, how are you feeling this morning? X

 

[Doodlepants]

How did you get on with your carrycot Hann? Did it come yet? Is Greg feeling OK after the stag do?

Sounds like you had a nice weekend Caz, how are the building plans coming along?

How are you feeling Simmy? When is Paul back or is he home now?

We had another parents evening last night for Holly, she's doing so well, I'm really proud She's reading books that the children in the year group above her are reading and writing at that level too- and she's top group for Maths which I'm amazed at as I'm terrible at it!
I've been trying to catch up with everyone this week now things are back to normal after half term so I'm off to meet a friend today- it's nice to get back to normal- I'm always shattered after half term!
What's everyone else up to?- Mel, hopefully you're getting some rest

 

[melissasbump]

Morning ladies.

Claire, thanks hun, yes i do have recollection of your issues, i did have rasied bp towards the end too but it wasnt till around 38 weeks i think, i certainly wasnt monitored till then. Hopefully i dont get admitted, but best get used to peeing in cups every couple of days. lol

Hann, thanks for your support yesterday hun, it means a lot and kept me sane in a way!

Simmy,Caz, Georgie and Maria, thanks also ladies.

Maria thats great about Hollys reading and writing i can understand why you are so proud! I always loved books as a child and H does too at the mo im hoping to keep him interested!

AFM, Am feeling ok today, was shattered last night and took a while to settle H down too but he eventually slept well. Alan got out of bed at 4am and went to spare room because of my snoring apparently lol!
So today Alan is off anyway which is good, he gets to take H swimming which hes missed over past couple of weeks so is really looking forward to it, this afternoon we are going to clean up the travel system as its such a nice day and get washing on the line woo hoo! Also got the dog groomer coming to give the mutt a haircut. Rock and rollage!
Wed and thurs Alan is back at work so im trying to work out what to od to give H some fun but that doesnt over exert me. Difficult!

 

[Hann12]

Mel I hope you get some good news about all the results today and glad Alan is off to help. It's easy to give advice to someone else but when it comes our turns we'll be the same so will be turning to you for reassurance too.

Greg took today off which is lovely so been to the park this morning, my friend was there and she's pregnant - 7 weeks, so happy for her! Totally exhausted now though as didn't sleep at all well last night so hoping for a nap now.

 

[melissasbump]

Hann, lovely that Greg has took the day off! Especially after his manic weekend! Its such a beautiful day outside, perfect for the park!

H had swimming and now im trying to get him to nap so i can have a relax, meanwhile Alan is cleaning up the travel system, think once thats done we are all sorted!

 

[LittleSpy]

So glad everything is okay, Mel!

I'm the most sick I've been in about 5 years. And I'm nearly positive I caught it from the office staff in check-out at my OB's office last Friday!
Trying desperately not to have Maisie and Scott catch it. I even came into work today to try to avoid them. Being sick is never fun but I'm not keen on taking anything more than acetaminophen when I'm pregnant so even a head cold is kicking my ass. Maybe it's because I haven't been so sick in so long but I really don't remember a head cold ever sucking this much. We'll see how long I last at work. I'm already feeling like going back home and I've only been here 30 minutes. But I guess I feel like that every day.

 

[mummySS]

Oh Julie that sounds horrible! I think things affect us more when pregnant, coupled by the fact we can't drug ourselves up to the nines! Really hope you feel better soon, and that maisie and scott don't get it (hopefully if they do, chances are they wont feel it as badly as you do).

Hann hope you manage to get a nap - morning in the park sounds lovely though, it's a gorgeous day isn't it - for a change!

Mel, glad you're feeling ok today and that Alan is around to help. Just hang in there... Must be weird to get the travel system out after so long. We've actually used ours the whole time because I love it so much, we just keep it set up in our hallway for local walks, and have the maclaren in the boot for when we're out and about. I'm so in love with the icandy i'm planning to hold onto it even when we've got the double, haven't quite figured out WHERE i'm going to put it yet though!

Maria how amazing for holly! You must feel so proud she's doing so well, must be a testament to you too. Glad things are back to normal too after a tiring half term.

AFM i'm ok thanks, Paul's in Poland this week monday-friday so of course me and Leo are at my parents', bless them i couldnt manage without them at the moment. Then he's off to Norway on Sunday night so we're back again next week! But then he's back on tuesday night and then we have a week off his travelling thank goodness. It's all a bit much to be honest (for both me and paul) and Leo doesn't know where he's at. He was up half the night asking for his daddy and crying out "daddy gone bye-bye", it was heartbreaking. I'm sure by tonight he'll be used to it as he loves my parents.

 

[Doodlepants]

Oh Julie I hope you feel better soon!

That's a lot of working away Simmy, that's so sweet about Leo calling out for his Daddy! At least your parents are nearby to help out a bit, I bet they loving having you there! x

 

[mummySS]

They do love having us here but I think it's also hard work for them - they're 66 and 68 so not exactly young, they get v tired running around after Leo who is majorly hyper these days!

 

[Hann12]

Don't mean to bring a downer but I'm in shock, I'm on a "may mummies" facebook group and one of the US girls posted yesterday to say that her little boy was being lazy and was anyone else having less movement, and that she had a dr appointment scheduled within the hour anyway so would mention it to him. We didn't hear anything and to be honest most of us probably thought it was worrying over nothing, but turns out that her little boy died. Shes now in hospital being induced and has to give birth to her poor baby who has already gone. Its so sad. She was 30 weeks on Friday. I know the likelihood of something like that happening is small, and we hear more about it because we are on sites like this and big pregnancy groups elsewhere but it just makes you thankful for what you do have and also extremely worried for the one thats still inside. So very sad
