zfbaby have you ever talked to your Dr about seeing a chiropractor? uh I know hun people can be rude. I'm sure you look great for how far along you are. people used to tell me I looked big and it was anoying. then heard from someone yesterday I didn't look big enough lol.

oh ello i dont come on much but im vicki due 17th with a bubba boy

a little about me i was due twins but sadly lost one due to TTS this one is fighting fit i have a 15 month old son named Ryan

 

[charbaby]

That is sweet charbaby. Do you have clothes saved from last time or do you have more buying to do?

I am getting excited and nervous about my scan tomorrow. I want to ask my consultant about if we can negotiate a little less monitoring in labour if I was to go into labour naturally before 41 weeks and stay 'low risk' (I am high-risk so I mean that the same issues don't come up again when I say 'low risk'). I know what happens if things go wrong again and about most of the restrictions but I can not get straight answers about if I have any options at all providing they don't happen again.

No my daughter was ment to be the last one so got rid of all her clothes but then decided to have another lol so all has to be brought again x

A consultant is a doctor in hospital. My consultant also is my gynae doctor

 

[Zfbaby]

zfbaby have you ever talked to your Dr about seeing a chiropractor?

Unfortunately because of the way things are fused they are not recommended for me

Anyone had any thoughts about their birth plan? I though it was a bit early especially as we still don't know what will happen but midwife says no??

 

[pebbie1]

I had a really nice birthplan with my daughter. I wanted a water birth.
Nothing I wrote down on that thing worked out apart from only having gas and air.
I developed pre eclampsia and was induced so I'm not bothering with one now and I'll just take it as it comes.
The only thing I really want is only gas and air again so fingers crossed for that

I havent never done a birth plan just let it happen on the day, I am planning a home birth this time if they let me

not going to do persay'' one as last time i was induced so went out of window
establised labour was 2hr28 total 4 hours something from having my waters broken... i will do what i can when i can, my defo NO's are pethadine.

 

[Zfbaby]

Ive always said I dont want to do it on my back so if we can do it naturally ( as in no c-section) I'd like an active birth.

 

[Zfbaby]

I know someone who had pethadine and they said avoid it like the plague.

 

[BabyDeacon]

i work in main operating theatres so see the effects of pethadine... Nah no thanks! lol

 

[pebbie1]

I got a shot of diamorphine. It made me feel high as a kite and my hubby had to help me walk to the toilet. It didn't really relieve the pain for me though so I'm sticking to just gas&air

 

[charbaby]

I had gas and air with my son and the same with my girl but also had a shot of pethadine with her and I thought it was rubbish made me feel sleepy more than anything just going to be having gas and air this time x

 

[Zfbaby]

Does gas and air make you feel drunk?

 

[OmiOmen]

I am really sorry to hear you lost one of your twins vicki.

I am high risk because with my son I got hypertension in the second trimester which developed into full pre-eclampsia by the end. I also had to have a planned c-section (he was breach, I had pre-eclampsia, strep-b and there were a few concerns about the placenta quality due to having high-blood pressure for so long and my waters were borderline low) so am classed as high-risk in case of uterine rupture if I am able to attempt a VBAC too.

It might sound bad but I am really cynical about birth plans after my last pregnancy so I will not be writing one again this time. I wrote a birth plan with DS but now I know you don't really have any control over these things. In an ideal world I want a drug-free (if I can handle it at the time) VBAC and if things go well I want to negotiate with my consultant not to have a cannula put in 'just in case' and I would love to attempt an active birth but I do not think they will budge on the level of monitoring during labour. I will know more tomorrow about what I can and can not do in the hypothetical situation that things don't go wrong.

 

[CLH_X3]

I won't be doing birth plan... Il write some bullet points but that's it .. Quick an easy...

Why won't people be getting pethadine ? Or however it's spelt..

personally I found it a load of rubbish x

 

[OmiOmen]

I have never had pethidine but would not consider it because everyone I have know to have it has said it was awful. It also can effect the baby which I don't personally want. Also I don't want to take something that will affect the apgar score.

 

[Zfbaby]

The woman I know at work who had it said that it isn't take the pain away and just made her vomit the whole way through.
