beautiful bumps passion, Pebbie and ducky! were all looking properly PG now

I've been dying with the cold, told my husband it feels like I've come down with the manflu lol

omni I told hubs that I only have 9 Weeks left until full term and that char went 3 Weeks early and I swear he lost some color haha
can't believe you have a thesis to write. I don't know how you do it, good job girl!

zfbaby terrible about the stomach muscles, sounds like you just need to rest!

love the 4d shot ducky

pebbie don't be worried to call the Dr or midwife if you're worried. hope that bp goes down hun

might have forgotten someone because ive misseda few pages but hope you're all doing well xxx

 

[babyface15]

ooh forgot to mention my good news. gas and air is a pain relief option at my hospital! they don't have it in the US but they do most places in Canada, just a lot of people don't use it!

 

[Zfbaby]

I know what you mean omi I hope lo turns for you but I think by this stage we know our babies habits. Mine loves to lie straight across or oblique and I can't see him moving anytime soon. I'm so short I don't think there's room for him to get comfy any other way. At what point I your of did they decide on a c-section last time?
Pebbie- glad you're getting checked regularly but I'd bet they'd be glad you called if you were unsure of something they clearly take it very seriously.
How do you know baby is head down? What does it feel like?

Thanks for all the support ladies, spoke to my boss this morning and she herself suggested I self cert and has even said if I want to come in for an hour a day and go home she'll pay me the full day to cover me up until I go on leave It was a massive weight lifted knowing that I can just get up and go if I struggle and she wont think badly of me or that I won't lose out. I'm taking tomorrow off and I'm off Friday anyway so hopefully a couple of days rest will give me the strength to go on a bit longer.
Baby has been sticking his bum up right under the bad muscle all day think he knows that would be the most inconvienent for me lol. dh has treated me to my fbe for tea tonight, chilli!!! So I'm feeling a bit happier than this morning

 

[babyface15]

great news zfbaby!! sounds like a lot of stress has been lifted

I found out recently that our hospital does vaginal deliveries of breech babies (depending who you get in delivery), is this an option for you girls? the scan showed mine was head down but I wouldn't have really known otherwise BC I get kicks and punches low and high. have you been doing exercises to encourage baby to position?

 

[OmiOmen]

They decide about c-sections at 36 weeks. I have a scan at 36 weeks and will then have to talk over the options. There is always the chance of changing position considering there is loads of time left but it seems possible I may be one of the women who can only carry breach babies. I'll have to see. If I am booked in for a c-section at that point I'll be off up to the postnatal ward to book a privet room right after because I am not going on the regular ward again if I can avoid it.

I could not have a ecv or breach delivery last time because I had a few other issues like pre-eclampsia, strep-b, slightly low waters and a few worries over the placenta quality (due to long term pregnancy induced hypertension) so there were too many risks to consider any other options. This time I won't be offered a ecv or vaginal delivery due to the risks for a VBAC and it increases the risk of uterine rupture. Very few doctors will attempt a ecv with a VBAC and even if my consultant is one of those few I don't feel comfortable with the added risks.

I love sewing!! It's my major passion what else are you making for baby?
I've made all of my burp cloths, bibs and travel changing mats so far.
I'm currently working on upholstering a footstool for my lounge but once that's done I think I'm going to try a play may forthr nursery. That's if I can get around with this stupid bad muscle.

 

[pebbie1]

Babyface hope you feel better soon! Great news though about the gas & air at the hospital. I'd definitely give it a try if I were you. Great stuff!

Zfbaby, my bump dropped loads lower and I could breathe normally again. But it felt at the start like baby was going to fall out! I also keep getting kicks high up and that position hasn't changed. When the consultant checked she said baby was head down and engaged. The way it feels that hasn't changed.

 

[pebbie1]

Only 2 nr's difference between my % ticker and countdown ticker!

 

[OmiOmen]

I am carrying low and to the left like with DS1.

I have felt awful since 2 hours after my whooping cough jab yesterday. I know it is not a live vaccine so it shouldn't make you feel ill but it seems like a huge coincidence. I too the day off uni today because I feel so rubbish.

 

[pebbie1]

Omi I have seen a few women on here saying they felt poorly after the jab. Maybe just double check with the midwife?
Hope you feel better soon x

 

[OmiOmen]

My MW is only ever in on a Wednesday. I think I was told to see the nurse who did it if I felt bad. I think might call if I still feel off tomorrow.

 

[pebbie1]

I would if I were you!
I gave in and called triage. I took my bp and it was 146/84. I am now waiting for a callback from the midwife

 

[OmiOmen]

I have read some people feel a little ill for 2-3 days so will give it until tomorrow.

Hope they call soon and it all goes well.

 

[pebbie1]

Awwwww poor you How is your arm? Mine did hurt quite a lot, especially at night when I rolled over onto it in bed. Ouch!
I'll keep you posted xxx

 

[OmiOmen]

A little achy but not too bad. I just feel really sick, have a headache, and really weak.

 

[pebbie1]

Hope you feel better soon
I'm at triage. I had to go in and they're taking bp. Last reading was 154/86 and they're not happy

 

[Little Ducky]

How are you feeling now Omi Omen? x

Pebbie, that sucks, what have they said they are going to do about your BP? Hopw things have improved since this morning! x

 

[Zfbaby]

Aww pebbie any news?

 

[OmiOmen]

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that Pebble. I hope it is not too up and down because mine was last time and they can't give you the medication to control it if it is up and down rather than high all the time. I hope that you get some answers there.

I feel a little less achy but my head is getting worse. I think I will feel better tomorrow. Everything I have read about reactions to it say it lasts 2-3 days and you only really need to worry if you have a high temperature which I don't.
