hope so here in germany you have to stay in hospital for a week so they can help you get the hang of things etc but imdreading that part too due to the language barrier

My friend (she was from england) had her baby in germany and said she had the nicest experience and much better than her other 2 in a uk hosp!

Who else said about an ache "down below"? Sure someone said it and its what I have today

You stay 2 days here for a normal birth. I was so lost and really grateful that first day for the help. Amazingly, by day 2, while still terrified, I felt confident enough to take my son home. This time around I've got a better idea what I'm doing, but will take full advantage of letting the nurses change the diapers because I'll be doing more than enough of that once we're home to appreciate letting someone else do it for as long as I can.

How sad is it that one of the highlights of my day is that I think I'll actually have a bowel movement? I hate pregnancy constipation.

Ee I hope your pelvis pains aren't the start of SPD...

your dp is so cute sorry to be randomlol

What is my dp? Thanks anyway tho! lol


Haven't been on for a while. Is collecting stem cells the same a cord blood banking? Some hospitals do it in the UK but not many. https://www.nhsbt.nhs.uk/cordblood/howtodonate/wherecanidonate/


SPD is really hard to explain but basically when your pelvis absolutely kills!!! This actually explains it pretty well. https://www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/antenatalhealth/physicalhealth/pelvicpain/


Congratulations on being Team Pink

Afternoon ladies hope your all ok! I have my 20 week scan tomorrow- so nervous

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

All will be ok Em Mines Thursday- I am dreading it. I always get panicy at scans, I dont enjoy them at all xx

 

[Farida_2013]

sorry to be tmi ladies but have any of you had an increase in watery/creamy lotioney discharge? ive just stood up and felt really wet looked and was rather wet and watery dripping down my leg i paniced thinking it was my waters or something but its creamy

Well yes I have been getting extra discharge these days too...!

The doctor always says if it changes colour to grey or green or brown etc and/or it has an irregular foul smell then you should be worried!

So I think it might be safe to say it's normal?

My friend (she was from england) had her baby in germany and said she had the nicest experience and much better than her other 2 in a uk hosp!

Yes a couple of people said they had that ache in their bajingo's (hehe) I am sure it's quite normal, you never know where your baby is going to kick and what nerve it will hit!

Afternoon ladies hope your all ok! I have my 20 week scan tomorrow- so nervous

Awww don't be nervous! Be anticipant! I am sure everything will go great!

 

[mrsswaffer]

I can't wait until my 20 week scan. I'm so excited to see my baby again! I miss her/him.

 

[Lindylou]

i know its crazy 20 weeks tomorrow here and just seems to of flown by im actualy getting nervouse about it all and labour and then actualy being a mummy scared i wont be any good at it[/QUOTE].

I feel the same. I'm scared of coping with labour (I'm so scared of the pain and making an idiot of myself) and when bump comes along what if I cannot cope and don't know what to do and he/she is suffering at all. Guess the mum worrying is starting!!

 

[embo216]

Thanks everyone, its just because with my 20 week scan with my daughter they found she had some serious health problems so it's made me more aprehensive

 

[Lindylou]

Embo- so sorry you had difficult 20week in the past. Is your daughter ok now?

 

[embo216]

Shes great now, there was a strong chance of losing her in utero and she had to have open lung surgery to remove part of her lung as a baby but fully signed off now and a normal healthy 4 year old

oh bless her little fighter she sounds like

Labour is such a strange experience. Painful but somehow your body just deals with it. If you believe in your body and that each contraction/pain is a good pain and getting baby that bit closer to you - you will be fine. I also kept reminding myself that ladies have been doing it for years and ladies in some African countries do it without any pain relief so you can deffo do it.
And when baby comes it does take some time to get to know your baby and what he/she likes and doesn't like but you learn so quickly. If in doubt sing!! Works every time! My son stops instantly when he hears someone singing. Have had babies given to me bawling their eyes out and if you sing to them it's amazing!! Twinkle twinkle is a favourite!! xxx

 

[embo216]

I agree my MW used to say it's not a useless pain, it's a pain that gives you something amazing

I must admit I thought I would get a huge instant love for my baby but it didn't happen like that with my 1st- it took time and I wasn't prepared for that!

 

[mrsswaffer]

Thank you, RebeccaG. I'm hoping to have a positive birth experience with just gas & air (though, if I need anything else, I won't be a martyr!).

 

[embo216]

I had pethodine both times with mine and it was amazing!

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

I wont lie and say it doesn't hurt because it does- alot! Its amazing though you get to the stage where your body takes over and does the work for you so if you stay calm and trust your body you will be fine. It really is mother nature at its best. I didn't get the "rush" of love either, It took about 24hours with DS and a few days with DD!

You are still besotted with the baby etc but you know when you get that rush of love!
