Forums New posts
I will be writing a birth plan but just to mention important things to me for example I don't want student nurses performing anything on me but I don't mind them being in the room, only 1 though, a friend of mine had 3 plus 2 midwives and felt very overwhelmed and exposed! Also I want skin on skin as soon as she is out. A few friends had the baby taken away first! I'd be heartbroken!!
I'm also a bit funny about any form of intervention like forceps, my best friends boy is deaf due to a bad forceps delivery. I know it's rare for people to have complications but I just want the baby to be here safe and well!! X
 
Babyface- super cute pics of baby, looks boy to me?! :)

Welcome sparkle.

Hope all are well today. Other than super sore hips I'm feeling pretty chipper. 29 weeks today. Last week of the 20s and not far off of single digit weeks and mat leave.
Baby had a super quiet day yesterday an then a really active night hope that's not a sign of things to come as he seems to be getting more and more active at night. Lol

As for birth plans, I was going to do one but I'm also a beliver that anything can happen so planning is probably not worth the upset of it doesn't work out. I don't want students present either though. I don't want skin to skin and would like cord left as long as poss before cutting but that's it.
 
I can't even remember how many midwives were in my room when I was pushing. And to be honest, I couldn't care less at that time. And I feel the same this time :) I really would not like to have a forceps or ventouse intervention either. It's scary and my friend had it with her daughter and she had such bad bruising awwww.
But then again, my daughter was getting stressed whilst pushing so I didn't care what they were going to do as I was just thinking of her being ok, so I had an episiotomy. I don't hope I need that again though as the stitches hurt afterwards :(
 
Sparkle there is nothing wrong with having an idea what you want and writing it down but try not to have your heart too set on a birth-plan because more people don't get what they want than do. Birth is very unpredictable and what really matters is mother and baby coming out of it safely.
 
Thanks girls I'm so happy about it all. Can't wait to hear what the Dr has to say on Thursday now

Pebbie hun I hope you get good news too!!
That's too bad they didn't offer a re-scan Char :P Mine kept turning around back on but I asked baby to calm down and it seemed to work for a few seconds lol!!

Sparkle I wrote up a draft of birth plan a few days ago with a lot of similar requests for the environment of the birth and post-birth procedures. I also had some contingencies highlighted in case of emergency c-section
I can share it with you if you'd like :)
 
Hello ladies. Had my appointment with the consultant today and unfortunately I have protein in my urine :( The good thing is that my bp still is ok but I need to see the midwife every 2 weeks and call straight away if I get any pe symptoms. Not good but hopefully it'll take weeks before my bp goes up! Seeing the consultant again at 32 weeks. X
 
I'm really sorry pebbie, I know how stressful this must be. I had the start of it in the second trimester last time but it did not become full PE until about 38 weeks so I really have my FX that is either stays away fully for you or that it at least holds off for a long time. :hugs:

Ooooo yes please!! X
 
I thought u had to the the whooping cough jab like in the 4 weeks before your due ?
 
Just seen 28-38 weeks, il probs have it on a dif week then the 28th one as got an anti d that week
 
As you have read it is between 28-38 weeks. I know at my GP's they tend to do it close to 28 weeks though.
 
I keep having lots of ideas about what to do with the nursery (although we STILL need to move first) and I have had yet another idea. I have to admit right away that we are doing a budget nursery and will not spending much on it. This is my latest idea and I am seriously thinking about going with this it since it is a good price and won't take up much space.

What is everyone else thinking about doing? Also when are you starting your nursery? We was going to put ours together next month but since we still need to find a bigger house that won't be happening on schedule. We won't be using it right away so I know we don't need it done any time soon but I want it sorted.
 
Ohh Pebbie I'm so sorry :hugs: is there anything you can do to slow it or stop it? I don't know much about PE

Omni I don't have a plan for the nursery and am not sure when I'll start! Might oredr a few decals online for the walls and start from there! I totally understand though because I'm the same. The baby will be in the room with us for the first while, but I want to have the nursery set up anyway! dh doesn't get it lol
 
28 weeks today :D
Got midwife at 12.00 get to see how baby is measuring hopefully 28 cm like she is supposed to lol.
Only 12 weeks to go ladies!!! Can't wait to get in to the 30 plus weeks x
 
Thanks Omi, I hope it goes as slowly as it went with you ;) I really love the colours of your nursery! Very pretty.

Babyface there's nothing they can do. I'm already taking aspirin so it's just fingers crossed now :)

I'm feeling good after the whooping cough jab, apart from a pretty sore arm, ouch!!
 
Just noticed still an eggplant! Thought it might have changed today :/
 
babyface, I am glad I am not alone. I have no idea why I want it done considering DS1 is 3 in May and sleeps ether in his own bed in our room or with me. :dohh:

Pebbie, have they put you on bed rest? They did me although telling me not to so much as clean the house was not exactly realistic. I hope your not as in and out of the hospital as I was, I was in twice a week and then normally made me stay a night or two. Although that was irritating it would be a lot harder to do the second time around.

If you get more symptoms they can try and manage it for a while with total bed rest and medication as long as it is reasonably mild but I hope it doesn't come to that. I really have my FX you get to at least 37 weeks.
 
No, no bedrest yet which is good. I have to go in though straight away if I get any symptoms. But we'll see what happens.
When are you seeing the consultant again?
X
 
That is good then. You have a BP monitor, right? I found my BP monitor and urine analysis dip sticks a big reassurance. I know it is really tough not to worry about it.

Not until 36 weeks and I'm not seeing my MW every 2 weeks either like it is generally recommended. They don't seem very worried about the PE risk so much as the VBAC risks. :shrug: At 36 weeks he wants the scan to check he is not breach still or too big to attempt a VBAC.
 
That's so weird! Can't believe they're still not taking it as serious as they should. They should take this more serious than the VBAC.
Yes, I have my bp monitor at home which is good as I can keep checking my bp :)
