Big congratualtions Amjon, they are beautiful, I am soo pleased for you and GIY, a big congratulations to you too, I can't believe we are nearly all there, tomorrow I get my c- section date, can't wait to find out when I am having Baby, the sooner the better as I am impatient, I hope everyone else is doing ok, the last bit I am finding a struggle and being on my feet for awhile is a killer, but will all be worth it.

Amjon, they're gorgeous! congratulations

Afm... I had consultant yesterday. To be honest I'm still feeling pretty upset by it Baby is still breech, thats fine I came to terms with the fact it will be a c-section weeks ago. Before she scanned me she asked if I wanted a ecv, I told her no. She asked me what my reasons were and I said that due to my history of recurrent miscarriages I really do not want to take the risks involved, My nerves couldn't take it. She then asked me whilst scanning me after she'd told me that he is a big baby (they can't do an ecv with big babies NOR can they do it if you have an anterior placenta which I have) I said I'm a thousand million % sure I don't WANT IT!!!..... She then..... Asked me again!

When she went out of the room I looked at my husband and said she.... is going to be a nightmare! She came back with the procedures book and gave me my date 9th July 39+6 I was sobbing, I explained how scared I was of going into labour and ending up in an emergency situation. She said it wouldn't really be an emergency. I also explained how I'm not sleeping because of the rib pain, I can't breath half of the time, I can't sit,stand, lay without being in pain and very uncomfortable. She didn't care and refused to book me in any earlier.

I was also left to leave the hospital with +protein and elevated bp (for me anyway) usually my bp is low at 100/60 it was 118/85 yesterday. Not high but high for me and I've already been told by my rmc consultant that my bp needs an eye on it because of the size of my placenta....

I can just see this all going wrong! I've called my rmc mw and am waiting for her to get back to me... hopefully she will get back to me today...

Congrats amjon they are gorgeous! Glad all went well!
Jess how u getting on?? Hope tht baby of yours moving lots today. My wee man has quiet days.. Kinda a wee routine now actually, 2-3 days of crazy movements, followed by 1-2 quiet days where I worry like mad! Gor a kick count app on my phone that helps me a lot though an as long as I get my 10 kicks I'm happy.
Aw monro that dream sounds terrible! Nothing worse than a bad dream when they are so vivid that they seem real. But rmemwber they're not.. It's just all your inner fears coming to the surface. I had a lot of dreams about bleeding in the first tri.
Hope everyone doing well! It's my work baby shower today!! Excitd! Xxx

 

[Dollybird]

Aw bd I'm so sorry your appointment didn't go as u planned hope your mw can sort things for you xxx

 

[merristems]

Mj i hope lo gets wriggling again, mine deff has busy days or weeks followed by quiet ones which scare the crap out of me as long as he does move thats important.
Kelly glad you will get your date soon e xciting
Bd im still gutted for you hope that your mw can change dates
Monro that dream was scary! I dreamt i had a tiny baby girl lastnight, she was fine but 6lb

[LVnMommy]

MY BABY MADDIX IS COMING HOME TODAY!!!!!!!! beyond nervous, excited, happy

 

[merristems]

Hurrrah!!! This is so exciting! Pics when you can xx♥♥

 

[BeautifulD]

LVN thats brilliant news!!! He's done brilliantly hasn't he!? What a little fighter you have there

Merri I feel your pain, I always get that in my sleep, it near on chokes me! it really is horrible

Afm... after I posted my last post I laid on the sofa and crashed right out until about 25mins ago
The rcm mw just called me... she's hopefully going to speak to Mr Shahata tomorrow (they're in meetings all day so maybe not) and see if there can be something done, she said she can't promise anything but she'll try to get the decision over ridden... she also said that it was unacceptable for one of their ladies to be treated like that.... so yeah I feel a bit better now I've spoken to her xxx

 

[A1983]

Ahhhh should've known in was a male consultant with that attitude Beautiful-yes def keep fighting for an earlier date-consultants will back down but sometimes they need to be pushed...a lot!

Congratulations Amjon

Monroe I had a dream I was bleeding too! I stood up from toilet and it was on the seat and I was about to tell oh we need to get to hospital when I woke up! Brrrr horrible dream!

 

[kelly4]

Lvn, so pleased your bubba is coming home, you must be so happy, and BD, what a horrible appointment, I hope they change this for you, I have always had my elective c-sections at 39 weeks exactly, I know you want the baby in your arms, its a shame after everything you have been through,the medical professionals are not listening to you, fingers crossed you get some good news xx

 

[BeautifulD]

A - it was actually a female registrar that I saw yesterday Mr shehata is the leading consultant for the recurrent miscarriage clinic, him and his team are amazing. The reg I saw yesterday is nothing to do with his team, hence no compassion!

 

[mackjess]

LVN, SOOOooo excited for you and your little man. You'll have to post pics once you get settled too! My heart is just happy that he'll be at home with his momma!

BD - Total rubbish about your appointment. Especially with your history, and my god if you are breaking down crying over it they NEED to do something to reassure you. You don't need that kind of stress. Hope you hear something by today or tomorrow!

Merri - Are you stateside? I started taking Prilosec OTC if you want to check with your OB on that. It's been a miracle for me. I was pretty sure a whole was going to be eaten thru my insides if I didn't get relief soon and I that was while I eating an old person bland food diet!

Dolly - I'm so excited for your baby shower this weekend. No wonder you got your hairs did. I had an appt last weekend but cancelled it. My hair lightens super fast in the sun so if I'm outside for 20 mins here and there I won't get roots too bad. It's going to be in the 90s this weekend so that shouldn't be a problem. I decided to just let my hair grow out since its a good ponytail length now, and get it done again before I come back to work.

AFM - Bubs is def quieter, and I think I def feel his head up high still. I did a kick count for an hour yesterday and they were happy with 8 an hour, and his heartbeat was in the 140s on my doppler. I have a scan tomorrow so I will feel better after that. Long as he looks good in the scan and he still has plenty of fluid I won't worry about less movement, he probably is just outgrowing his space. Getting better about the possibility of surgery. I just want him here happy and healthy and I'll deal with the rest.

Amjon, 9/9 on apgar is WONDERFUL for multiples. Good job momma. Hope you are having fun loving on your new boys.

Wonder who is next on the baby list??

 

[merristems]

MJ im in the UK so i just went to get some Gaviscon but it keeps coming back, im going to try icecream! Apparently its linked to stomach being pushed up. No more spicy food pour moi!

 

[ladykara]

Amjon and GIY- congrats to you both, the twins are gorgeous !!! Can't wait to see GIY photos...so happy for u both. X

Lvn- yay that amazing news, so pleased x

Primrose oil I swear by it.... Some say it doesn't bring on labour but helps during labour, well things started to happen hours after I took two and labour was quick so my experience is only good...that and bouncing on the ball...

Finding breast feeding hard, so sore and he seems to want feeding all the time !!!! Xx

 

[amjon]

Amjon What beautiful little fellows did they weigh ok? Any names yet, well done you brave thing ha g in there with the feeding i know it must be hard but well worth it to save all that sterilizing!

[kelly4]

Congrats Lady K, hadnt been on here in awhile and just see your beautiful boy, big congrats, I breast feed my last baby and I swear by Lansinoh ointment for your nipples, worked wonders and safe to breast feed with it on, made breast feeding a lot easier for me, I have even bought their breast pads now to try as I am determind to breast feed again.

 

[flapjack10]

Monro - I hate dreams like that

MJ - glad everything feels ok with bump, it's best to be vigilant though
