Aww Missmummymoo u had a rough time!! Glad alls ok and babys staying put for now!

Enjoy the hen night Hann!

Im a little stressed at the moment as my little cat Daisy is poorly. This is now day four of her not eating and only drinking tiny amounts, Shes been in the house for 48 hours now and still hasnt used the litter tray, and Shes so skinny Shes lost weight. Took her to vets yesterday and her glands are swollen so somethings going on. Theyve given her antibiotics and Ive to take her back on Monday. But i have a feeling that its not looking good

Something I was curious about is how many people here live far away from your parents and in-laws? DH and I are actually on our own in terms of raising our baby and we're happy about it. We really want to do this on our own without grandparents telling us what to do and giving opinions all the time. I can understand how it can be helpful in certain ways, but personally my parents would get overly involved and that's what I don't want.

 

[Sass827]

We're a six hour drive from my parents and a 2.5 hour flight from his. I'm very happy about it. I'm a bit intimidated as most people I know have tons of help and seem to need it. I hope I really don't need it as I'm not comfortable with long term stays. Are you getting any help math?

I'm jealous of you for this!! My dad (which I know wont be a problem, because newborns scare him, he feels like he's going to break them lol) lives across the street; but our in-laws live 10 minutes away and I have a feeling they're going to try to involve themselves way too much and I want us to be able to at least attempt it on our own without someone over our shoulders telling us what we should and shouldn't do :/

Did any UK ladies see 'don't just stand there I'm having your baby' on BBC 3??? Thought it was really good focusing on the dads for once. OH liked it too.

I watched the US programme maternity ward too...was nearly in tears seeing a baby being born at 25 weeks! There was also a lady having twin girls who was 31 weeks and had to have an emergency c section as the smaller twin was dropping her heart rate. Looking at the bigger twin, I couldn't help but think that our little ones are roughly the same size! Like proper, cute little babies!

Was so uncomfortable yesterday and last night. My bump just felt so achey and I kept waking up and then dreaming that I was being monitored for pre term labour! I'm sure baby is trying to make more room for his or herself because I keep feeling big stretches. It ain't gonna grow bigger that way baby!

Happy 32 weeks to all the 32 weekers today 33 for me today

I didn't watch that Jary, think I might iPlayer it though as it sounds pretty good. I used to watch all those other sorts of programmes before and it really is heartbreaking. I have a friend who has had 5 babies early, the most recent was a little girl called Jessica, she was born at 26+6 and weighed 1lb 13oz. She now weighs over 3lb and is doing well, she was due 2nd May. It really brings it home doesn't it?

What's everyone up to today? I've got the kids bunk beds being delivered today so my friend's coming over to help sort baby's room, we're going to put up his curtains, uplighter, put the cot up and make the bed, put the border on the walls and just generally tidy round the room ... I can't wait to see it Then tonight when OH get's in from work we're going to be assembling the bunk beds ... oh how fun! NOT! x

 

[Jary]

Yay! Happy 32 weeks due date buddies and happy 33 to you miss mummy moo!

I'm seeing the midwife this morning and then off to work for a late shift. 7 shifts to go!


Also; boo! I'm getting stretch marks now! Haha

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Hope you have a good MW appointment! Not too many shifts left now Jary!

Lucky you I don't have any more room for stretchmarks I think I started getting them at 22 weeks with DD, I was bigger with DS and developed a few more and everyone says I am bigger this time but I haven't developed any new ones yet ... however he is very low and always has been x

 

[Hann12]

Morning!

Math - we live 1 hour 15 from my parents and 4 hours from DHs parents (like that bit of distance but would be nice to live closer to my parents!

Jary - happy 32 weeks, hope the appointment goes well! I had mine with my GP yesterday and it was a waste of time, I'm now 32 weeks with not one fundal measurement, she took my BP and wrote it down but didn't tell me what it was I had to look when I came home, and she felt the baby but didn't say anything to me! So rude!

I didn't see the programme but will iplayer it too!

Got the inlaws here at the moment. I still was up at 6.30am with DD and did the breakfast etc but FIL is playing with her now. MIL went to bed at 9pm last night because she was exhausted after an afternoon playing with DD and she's still in bed now even though she was going to get up early. She's has an afternoon sleep every day and normally doesn't get up until 10.30am so she always finds being here hard. It would be nice if I had someone who would do the 6.30am part of the day though as I don't sleep well and could do with a but more of a sleep in! Not to be though!!

No plans today, just letting the Inlaws dictate what they want to do. Although its bound to rain all day which will be limiting!

 

[Jary]

Hann that is really rude of the midwife! Next time ask her....my mw tells me my BP and urine results etc. I don't know if its influenced by the fact that I'm a nurse but it shouldn't and you should be involved in what's going on.

Really fed up of baby doing a number on my cervix. Has done it a few times this morning and it really really hurts! I'm wondering if he or she has gone breech and pesky feet are practicing kickboxing! That's what it feels like! Trouble maker already lol

 

[Hann12]

Thanks Jary, it was the GP yesterday who clearly couldn't be bothered!! I really hope that at my 34 week check they actually do and say more. I'm going to ask for my fundal height to be done even though I did last time and they refused. They haven't asked me anything about my birth plan etc yet and if they continue to just rush me through I know I won't be spoken to until I go into labour which is quite bad seeing as I had a difficult first birth! They always just look at my notes and see that I had her vaginally and to them that's sufficient, never mind the fact that I have a serious back condition, needed an epidural at full dilation and was pushing for over 2 hours ending up with an episiotomy and a very nasty infection!
They don't give any opportunity to discuss it all though

 

[MissMummyMoo]

My inlaws live about 6 miles away but we don't mind as they don't interfere too much

Hann, I'd have thought that they would at least try and help you X
