I'm going to look for the dreaded OP on my notes then!
Franki, I am the opposite too! I have been constipated for the whole of this pregnancy and since going on iron tablets, thinking I would get worse, I have gone the other way. I go all the time! But I do prefer it this way then being consitpated.
Well done on the no pain relief. Was that your 2nd?
Misznessa, are your feet swollen? Is that why they hurt?
1sttimemom & Ley, I'm really feeling for you. It must be so tiring on you. I wish something could be done to help you.
I have been for a walk today on the beach, it was lovely, really unmotivated to go first thing, but now really glad I did. The sun makes me so happy
And Evie! She loved it too.
(TMI)I have also noticed some change in my discharge. Last two times I have wiped I have noticed lumps. I know its not a show, cos I can remember what that looked like as if it was yesterday, but I was wondering could it be from my cervix area or could it be just normal discharge? x
Hey hunnie, yes, the no pain relief was with my second, lol. born at 38+3. and he is now 4yrs old bless him, lol.
my daughter i was meant to be induced as i had obstetric cholestasis. but when they went to give me the pessary to dilate me, i was already 4cm, but regardless, the next morning i still had the epidural in and waters broken.
number 3 though, aaaargh! i am sat wide awake now, because i am fed up of the bloody itching, discomfort etc. i am going to ring the doctors today to see if my blood test from the 5th Jan is back. when i showed my midwife the scratches where i have drawn blood from stratching myself so hard because of the itching, she took bloods again just incase i have OC again. grrrr. in a horrid way i hope i have as i know i will be induced. its horrible to say but this pregnancy, last 2 weeks mainly is driving me up the wall. this is deffos the last! lol. But he is fully engaged now apparently, my tummy has waaaay dropped so hopefully wont be long! iv not carried full term yet.
Finally tonight i have got rid of my mother in law too, who was staying with us over xmas period. she was sleeping on the couch. so i couldnt even come downstairs to relax or chill out when i have this annoying discomfort insomnia. I have my house back! woohoooo!
Advice wanted girls, am i over reacting, or do i have justification for being worried do you think?
my hubby is on about going to Wales and picking her up again when i am due to give birth. so she can be here for kids etc if need be whilst in hospital.
but she is baby mad! i know i wont be able to get any proper alone time with my family unit if she is here and she would always be in my face.
when the advert was on the TV for one born every minute, (newborns on the conveyor belt) she was screaming in a soppy voice that she wanted one! my daughter got a DS for christmas with a baby game where you have a newborn that kinda grows up and you have to do everything with, even talk to it... she basically hijacked the game off my daughter, as she is that baby mad!
i have told my hubby that friends have offered to watch the kids etc, who are willing to step away once i bring baby Ben through the front door. so we can have our few days settlement as a family, even the school have said they have no problem with the kids being off that day as they understand the children getting minded etc. but he thinks i am being daft.
this is his first child, my 3rd. he does not know how important them first couple of days are.
Also when she is here, she brings her frigging insane stupid dog, i swear it has no brain! we have 3 dogs already, but ours are lovely and well trained. he is just frigging nuts and also barks all the time and also likes to puke on the carpet.
plus when she is here, i am constantly cleaning more than usual because she is a frigging slob! i have so much cleaning i have to do today to get my house back to my comfort zone.
am i being selfish for saying i really dont want her here for birth time etc? i just dont think i could handle the bloody stress of it all.
sorry for ranting girls, but as you can probably tell from time of my post, i am sleep deprived, stress to hell thinking of next couple of weeks, having to get everything ready on my own again cos hubby is as helpful as chocolate fireguard. oh, and i am really dreading the 3 trips a day to the school, as its literally only at end of road, but the ice is soooo bad. im scared i am going to have a frigging fall.
