ohh pebbie, hope you get discharged soon xxx

 

[Zfbaby]

Oh no pebbie hope it gets sorted ASAP so you can go home. Are they likely to talk about delivery?

 

[pebbie1]

Thanks ladies!
If bp gets under control then I can go home but if it doesn't then ill be induced. Fingers crossed it can stay in a bit longer although I'm pretty sick of the hospital visits and bp drama

 

[babyface15]

Hope all is well.

What do we all think? Discharged or are we going to have our first BS? Good luck pebbie.

Lovely bump pics. Omi you don't look massive - maybe your bump has dropped?

I don't think I have grown at all in inches. Although I had mw appointment yesterday and fundal height is spot on. Baby is head down but not engaged. Had the WC vaccination too - easy peasy.

Sorry everyone seems to be feeling a bit rubbish.

The balloon made me laugh zf!

Does anyone know if we routinely get checked for strep b?

 

[OmiOmen]

I seemed to have dropped as soon as he went head down last week.

No, the UK does not test for strep-B. I found out I had it with DS1 from the test they gave me when they thought I was in early labour.

Think I'm going to be so bored today, I have nothing to do!

I'm doing a boot sale on the 4th may to get rid of the last of faiths clothes, girly bits!

Has anyone still not done there hospital bag? Mines not even down from the attic yet!

 

[OmiOmen]

I have not really done a hospital bag. I started packing and overnight bag but have taken half of it out already. I probably should try and get around to it soon.

 

[CLH_X3]

It's to much effort, Iv bought a couple things for it like maternity pads and cotton wall for baby's bum but don't think there's much else I have to buy

How many nappies is everyone else taking ? Last time I took 1 pack pampers so 26 nappies I think but I brought like half a pack home, so don't no if I should just pack like 15

 

[pebbie1]

Morning ladies.
Still in hospital after a bad night sleep Hospitals are definitely not made to sleep in!
I've not had any checks yet today so I have no idea what is going on. I'll keep you posted

 

[Zfbaby]

Oh good luck pebbie!!!!! Keep us posted.

I've packed my bags and they are now in the car. I've packed 10 nappies in my changing bag and there is one in a ziplock with his first outfit for straight after birth.

Not sure if I'm imagining this but I was half asleep this morning when I thought I'd peed the bed but felt around me and it seemed dry and instantly fell asleep again but when I got up I felt wet and liquid trickled down my leg as I went to the bathroom like I had no control over it??! I did use the bathroom after so I guess it's probably just pee but im not 100% sure sorry if tmi!

 

[pebbie1]

Oooooh Zfbaby not sure there. See the girl next to me in hospital had her waters break during the night but she only noticed as there was still liquid coming out after she'd finished weeing. She couldn't stop it from coming out. Not everyone has a gush of water coming

 

[OmiOmen]

I hope they come around and see you soon pebbie.

Zfbaby, I'm not so sure either. I would call labour ward to get it checked because you need to make sure it wasn't your waters.

I will take 1 pack of nappies. I am hoping to start the cloth nappies once we get home. I don't really know what to expect yet though because I was in 2 nights after my c-section and if I needed another one you normally stay 3-7 nights. But if I get my VBAC I guess your not in there long. I will probably pack my bag next week after I have had the consultant appointment when the official plan is made so I have a slightly better idea how long I might be in there.

 

[passion4shoes]

Yay! So glad you haven't done your bags yet! OH keeps nagging me to do it. I suppose you could always do two bags - one for labour and overnight stay, one for longer stay. At least your OH would only have to grab it from the car should you stay in longer.

Did water keep coming out after you had peed zf? Otherwise it was prob just wee! Oh the joys of pregnancy. Do you remember when we kept feeling damp in our knickers during the early stages and kept checking for blood (horrible days) and now we don't know if we have peed ourselves or not. Lol

Sounds exhausting pebbie. I hope the send you home. Being tired would not be a nice start to an induction.

I want to start cloth straight away - I worry about using sposies and then being too scared to move onto cloth.

 

[OmiOmen]

That is a bit of a worry about not starting cloth quickly for me too. But there is no way I will be using them in the hospital and I don't really want the meconium in the cloth ones either.

 

[Zfbaby]

Yeah it did keep coming after I peed. I've got that kinda tingle like I'm very slowly leaking so I've put a pad in. They said at our class if we think it's waters to put a pad in and check after 30mins to see how wet it is so I'll do that. It's probably pee where his head is now down. I'm
Bouncing on my ball though just in case he's ready.

 

[OmiOmen]

Goodness! There could potentially be two birth stories coming up soon. I feel so far away from that point right now.
