End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

[OmiOmen]

I guess I might be only just starting to worry because it was at around this point the hypertension started and I was in and out of hospital all the time with DS1. My main worry is getting full and unmanageable pre-eclampsia before 37-38 weeks.

My midwife is only in on Wednesdays and when I said what the appointment is for I was told I had to see a doctor today rather than wait. So I did not go into details because the GP's will not really deal with it as much as the midwife will. Me and DH have talked it over though and if we can not change consultant easily we might just switch hospital. The idea of going to a different hospital worries me too but I am really unhappy about this consultant.

 

[MizzPodd]

You and baby come first and as you know pre e is not to be played around with. I hope you get seen and everything is decent. I hope we all get to full term successfully I'm sorry you have to deal with unhelpful medical ppl... Do you know of any other hospitals that are good?

 

[pebbie1]

Omi, I would definitely not stay with this consultant! I'm sure it'll be pretty easy to switch them as there should be a few in the hospital. I hope so but I would be thinking the same as you and switch hospital if I couldn't switch consultant.

CLH I'm not going to any antenatal classes. I didn't do them with my daughter and won't be doing them now
X

 

[OmiOmen]

CLH_X3, I am not having any antenatal classes, I didn't last time either. I am not sure I would find them very helpful.

I live in between two cities so have two hospitals close by. I wanted to go to the one I went to with DS as they were great last time but this consultant has got me worried. Hopefully I will be able to switch with no issue but it is good to have a back up plan. The other hospital does not seem as good though. If it was one thing he said that was off it might not be as bad but he wants me to have unnecessary medical intervention that I don't want to make his life easier even if everything runs smoothly and he didn't seem bothered about the pre-eclampsia risk which I know is not standard practice.

Got my pram today didn't go for the silvercross got this instead

 

[OmiOmen]

I like that and it is a great price too.

 

[charbaby]

I like that and it is a great price too.

I know almost 50% saving I was really happy with it
I chose to go for the black/grey one tho as I thought if they have got sex wrong then it would be a bit girly in that purple colour.

Pebbie* My little girly kicks like mad best time is between 10am-12pm and again at 6-9pm but if I poke her for a bit she will normally poke back (probably gets annoyed lol ) x

 

[pebbie1]

Love the pram Char! Amazing price.
Hahahaha it's so cute that we can feel them kick and wriggle and poke. I remember when we were all wondering when we would be able to feel something
Mine is awake early morning, around lunch time, at night and when I go to bed. And I get the average kick and poke throughout all the day haHahaha

 

[charbaby]

Feeling them kicking and moving around Is so nice and defo reassuring to know they are all ok in there

 

[OmiOmen]

We are trying to pick the pushchair and are stuck between the the Quinny Buzz 3 or the Britax B Smart 3.

I showed DH the video tour of the other near by hospital and he is dead set against the place. He normally lets me decide these things but he really hates the look of it and it gets some bad reviews.

 

[passion4shoes]

They should let you switch consultants no problem. I know they don't like us to switch hospitals.

All these naughty placentas! Hopefully they will budge.

We all seem very lucky with our OH's. mine has banned me from cooking- only because I am so scatty at the mo that I set two tea towels on fire yesterday. Oops.

Mizz- Let me know if you find a good crochet tutorial. I was just going to search for classes/ groups.

Lovely pram char. What a bargain.

My bubs has been very quiet yesterday and today. No kicks at all - even when swimming. Felt a few nudges though and listened on the Doppler. Apparently they go through a growth spurt at 23 weeks.

 

[MizzPodd]

Passion omg! Two towels!! Lol poor mama
Yeah our placentas want to be difficult. We sure are working for these babies
And I will let know about the tutorials too
So since I'm team yellow, I was thinking to make a baby blue and yellow blanket for little one. And then of course some pretty colors for my daughter. What do you think? Are the neutral colors good?

 

[Zfbaby]

Clh- I'm looking into doing an antenatal course too. I've looked at nct one but it's £170 so looking around for a free one. I think it would be good for dh to understand what to expect and also hoping its a good place to meet some ftms.
We went to the cinema this afternoon and baby started to get quite active so that was nice. He's had a bit of a wiggle this evening too.

We've also been looking at prams too and think we've settled on the quinny buzz 3 as well. It's the lightest buggy I've found so far which is good for me.

 

[CLH_X3]

I'd love the quinny modd in pink ( even tho it's a boy ) but I have bought the Icandy peach blossom in black jack!

I went last time to the classes, and thought they were crap, just extra time of work

I've been secretly reading the thread at work today but wasn't able to respond until now. My desk faces the hallway and I never get the chance to write something before I have to minimize when someone walks by
So here we go..

Omni – so happy to hear your results came back good! If I were in your shoes I would probably ask to change consultants due to incompatibility. No need to get into detail, but maybe then you'd be able to stay at the same hospital!

Mizzpodd – that's so great your dh is taking such good care of you. Hopefully we can entertain you on here for a bit while you're on bed rest

Pebbie – your spa day sounds amazing!! I am so jealous right now

CLH – I'm taking a hypnobirthing course (unfortunately if I have to get the c-section) and doing the free prenatal class the hospital offers. But this is my first and I have no idea about anything so I want to do as much as I can lol!

Char – that looks awesome. How long can you use it for?

 

[MizzPodd]

Thanks Baby face he's wonderful
And I look forward to being entertained becuz I go crazy some days! Lol

 

[babyface15]

Yeah, I get that feeling too! The same as with Omi where they are trying to get her to have a c-section as well. I don't get why as recovering from natural birth goes so much quicker than with a c-section?

I've been reading about it online and most of the stats I'm seeing are more like 95% clear up and only 5% stay low lying. my ob said I only have a 50/50 chance and that of it doesn't move by 28 weeks then it most likely won't - which is also untrue. Seems like he's pushing for a section regardless!! I think some Drs are more concerned about it's potential lawsuits if something were to go wrong than how well the mom recovers after or how she feels about her birth experience!

 

[babyface15]

mizzpodd poor you! you must be very bored. but it's all to keep the lo safe and sound

 

[MizzPodd]

Baby face and omi ignore those doctors
Mine cleared up with no problem!!! Infact my doc never said i would need a c section because of that. with this pregnancy, doc hasnt mentioned it either... im sorry you both r dealing with this. Please put the negative thoughts outta your head y r they so bent on making it a c section??? That's crazy.

It goes from pram bit to push chair so I can use it until baby is walking but to be honest I will prob get a stroller at around 6 months as will be easier x
