End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

I would def see another consultant Omi. He might see it as a waste of time to even try for a VBAC, which of course it isn't! If you want to try for it they have no right to say otherwise. Make sure you do what you want - it is your birth and your baby and everyone knows you would never endanger yourself or bubs. But if they can't give a solid answer or absolute risk then push for what you want. I hope your midwife is a bit more reasonable and helpful!

Never mind Ducky -at least you get to see bubs again!

And congrats Omi about team blue - did your husband laugh at you wanting to know after all?

 

[OmiOmen]

Thanks. I am looking forward to seeing my midwife about it because a few things he said really did not add up.

DH almost didn't tell me! I said I was in a bad mood about yesterday and that I had already seen the boy bits at the scan so just to tell me but for a moment I though he would going to hold the information hostage.

Omi, I watched season 1 from One Born Every Minute and there was a girl on there who had a VBAC. The midwife said that most women wanted another caesarean was just a mental block after the first one.
But this girl was just fine and she did really well.

I have a massive headache today and not feeling too great. I have a meeting in work at 3 and if I'm lucky I might actually get my risk assessment after that!

 

[OmiOmen]

I think that is a big part of it. I know that I feel like the idea of a epidural is a mental block about having a VBAC for me. I really hate cannula's but could cope with that and I would love an active birth but could cope with the constant monitoring but I feel like I could not deal with the epidural, especially so early on in labour. I actually feel worse about this than when I had to have a planned c-section because I know that I really did need that last time but there is just no good reason for a mandatory epidural this time.

Sorry about the headache, I hope it goes soon.

Congrats on team blue, during the scan before she actually looked I thought I seen boy bits when she was measuring the belly... Feels weird being team blue for myself still but think I might get something boyish like vests as I have none, ALL faiths clothes were girly so not even vests I can use!

 

[OmiOmen]

I have literally just sorted through the first of two bags of DS's old clothes and it looks like we have plenty of rompers in newborn/0-3 months we can re use and load of jumpers from 0-24 months. The second bag needs digging out but I think that was the more outfit type things so more trousers, a few tops and I think some newborn dungarees but that bag is 0-24 months too with less 0-3 in I think. I don't think we will need to buy much in 0-3 months this time although I have already picked out 6 rompers, 1 hat and 3 vests that I must buy!

 

[CLH_X3]

Most my Los sleepsuits were pink or very gender related! Think I found 2 yesterday when I went through a box.... May be able to find a few more that I could use as yellow ... But not sure...

I'm going to be doing a nearly new sale on 9th feb with all of faiths things, just got to sort through the 3 boxes and 2 bin liners now :/

 

[OmiOmen]

I had a few neutral ones in 0-3 but luckily we have having a boy again which makes the clothes a lot easier.

Pebbie I can't believe you haven't had your risk assessment yet!!! That is shocking. Have you ever worked there with a pregnant woman before? I wonder how they treated her. Maybe they just don't have a clue what they are meant to do.

I will shocked if I give birth to a boy - all the scan pics I have seen of little boy bits are really obvious, and we didn't see anything obvious. If I had that envelope now or OH knew I would so be tearing it up!!! Or beating it out of him!

I have so many clothes already! One massive bag of boys, and a massive bag of girls - just means double the washing.

I have just bought cot sheets and blankets for the crib - do we have to prewash everything? and what washing powder/ softener do you use for your little ones?

 

[OmiOmen]

Did you get it written in an envelope? they won't do that at my hospital.

I could see both with DS and this time I was clearly having a boy. Even though this time I was trying not to see and I was facing away from the monitor when she was specifically looking in that area and (as you can probably tell from my avatar) the scan was not clear.

We use non-biological powder and no fabric softener. I think that is the recommendation for young children.

 

[CLH_X3]

Yeah defo easier, I have seen 2 things in next that I have to have! ... And possible some more sleepsuits in there but they are abit plain!

 

[CLH_X3]

I haven't had a risk assessment either yet in either of my 2 jobs ...

I used fairy non bio and the white fabric conditioner, can't remember the name right now though :/ lol

I brought a few bits from next this week, The kitten top and matching leggins, the pink spotty dungaree sort of outfit and the pink tutu outfit! They were all lush plus I got 2 of the 3 pack baby grows in newborn and 0-3 x

 

[CLH_X3]

I got a few bits, il upload pics when I can't get on a pc Later

 

[charbaby]

I could buy everything in that shop I love it!! Going to try n not go over the top this time though as with other two I had so many clothes that hardly had any wear out of them!

 

[CLH_X3]

Same with faith! .. She had so much ... I went totally ott! I also love next! There boys clothes ain't as cute as girls though

Guna try and buy what I think I need this time and not as much as u always get gifts aswel!
My friends already bought stuff to make a baby basket!
Looked in the attic and iv already got 3 packs size 1 nappies and 4 packs size 2! Ones Asdas own brand and ones tescos (not value, normal range) I remember buying them when they where a £1 each!! So I got them and stored them as I knew it wouldn't be ages til I had another child!

 

[charbaby]

I got the asda pack for £1 for my daughters doll wish I had brought more now.

 

[OmiOmen]

I got so much in newborn and 0-3 months for DS but only saves the bits I loved and I still think I probably have enough to manage in those sizes. I want to buy at least a few bits of new clothing though. DS was born at the start of May and DS2 is due at the end of May so the seasons should be right too. I have lots of rompers in newborn and 0-3 and then have things like jumpers and a snow-suite in the bigger sizes. I have already found a jumper of two that were bought for DS as a gift and they went on the age he was rather than knowing his size so they were never worn. I still need to find out the second bag of clothes we have stored away with the bouncer and bath over the weekend.

I decided to take a bump photo today since I am officially 20 weeks now and you can really see the bump shape taking form.

 

[CLH_X3]

I only got 3 packs I think, not sure if there's any more In the attic though, don't think there would be.. Would only be a pack or two of there was!

Anyone know when the asda baby event will be on? Tesco and boots is but Asdas always a little bit better!
