Its June!!!!! 20 week scan next month!!! Whos with me?

[pops23]

Glad to hear she's ok hun, must just be all the extra blood vessels especially if you've been DTD alot

Sarah went to visit a friend today who had an emergency c-sec and she is recovering really well so if you have to have I'm sure you'll be fine xxx

 

[Sarahcake]

Phew so glad that she's sounding good on there! They got you in and hooked up fast didn't they which is awesome. Hopefully the other tests are just as positive although I'm sure they will be x

 

[Sarahcake]

Whoops posted at the same time pops that's reassuring to know thank you how are you doing? X

 

[Scally]

Hey Sarah, any questions about c sections and i can try and help.

I am so happy with my c section and recovery, i do not regret my decision for one second- i was out of hospital the next day, off pain killers totally now (was only really taking paracetamol since day 4/5), we have got out every day since day 5.
I can honestly say the thing i find hard now is because i feel ok i feel like i can do anything and then hurt myself- like today with picking up the laundry basket.

[pops23]

Im fine thanks my love, think I'm getting bouts of false labour, lots and lots of uncomfortable braxton hicks but nothing regular xxx

 

[Sarahcake]

Thank you ally that really helps too. I'm ok with the thought of the section it's the aftermath that terrified me as you read a lot of people saying they were out of action for weeks, months etc.

Sounds like your doing really well actually in such a short space of time which is fantastic and massively reassuring for me too. Ill have Neil's help for the first two weeks so I should get plenty of chance to rest up and still be able to get up and about to keep mobile.

Out of hospital the next day sounds awesome to me too, not coping too well in here when Neil leaves, not used to being alone and Neil is the same back home bless him.

Hope you, poppy, izzy and your hubby are doing great sounds like you are which is lovely x

 

[ttc_lolly]

I hope some contractions pick back up Sarah, but you'll be absolutely fine if it does go to c-sec

Inoue I hope you're ok in hospital the bleeding hopefully was just your cervix being irritated by all that time you've been having, but glad you're being checked out!

Happy 39 weeks pops!

 

[Inoue]

All ok here. Sorry for snippit replys, im having to use 3G . Baby doing perfect. Doctor came and did an internal, was quite suprised to say that im already 2cm dilated and said I could go into labour tonight or tomorrow. As im having no contractions shes letting me go home after having anti-d. Bleeding practically stopped so must of irritated the open cervix - oops! Lol. Personally cant see labour coming within the next week but we'l wait and see. Thanks for your well wishes ladies x

 

[Inoue]

Home now - night all xx

 

[Sarahcake]

Thank you for all the votes of confidence ladies means a lot to me to have such supportive friends x

Inoue!!! Your more dilated than me and I've had 3 prostin pessaries!!! Good work you seems your militant DTD is paying off then, really could be anytime soon. You may not feel like it but contractions can just come out of absolutely nowhere, the ones I had yesterday did just that.

Hope you got a decent nights sleep after having to go up there x

 

[Inoue]

Lol, Marc is quite smug about it . Had a good night's sleep and bleeding has stopped (as far as I know). Absolutely no cramps or tightenings so unless I get thunder struck with them today I think ive got abit of a wait. Whats the plan of action with you today Sarah? X

 

[Scally]

Inoue- hope you are ok, 2cm is great- i think the next couple of days for you!

Sarah- how are things this morning? Honestly if the c section goes according to plan u can leave 24 hours later- they give u some fab pain killers to take home. It's be nice if your contractions picked up though- whichever way he comes out he'll be with you soon! woohoo!!!!

Happy 39 weeks Pops! With all your bh and false labour your body should be well prepared for when it starts!

Hey Lauryn- how are you doing?

Hey time- how are you doing?

Sorry i cant catch up properly its a bit manic most of the time!
Me and Izzy are sat chilling for a while whilst Poppy and daddy have a lie in! All is fab here, breastfeeding not quite working out but we'll keep going for as long as we can, Poppy is absolutely gorgeous and i am so proud of Izzy and how attentive she is to her little sister!
I seem to be doing ok on the lack of sleep, but men really cant cope at all!

x

 

[Inoue]

Glad your doing alright Scally, nice to read from you again . Poppy is so gorgeous! Always have a sneak peek on FB to see aby new pics . Keep going as best as possible with breastfeeding, but as with Kellie, just take it how it comes, im sure poppy is happy whatever .

Happy 39 weeks pops! X

Hope your doing ok Time, any more nuisance contractions? X

Hi to Lolly and Kellie! x

 

[Sarahcake]

Morning ladies. happy 39 weeks pops and I believe that it may be times due date today, she's 1 day ahead of me I think

Lol Inoue, can just imagine him wandering the house with an air of smugness to him! Guess its warranted though, means he's doing it right haha!

No plan of action just yet, dr starts off on delivery suite and works her way around to the high dependency rooms - Dont feel high dependency but I'm here as I'm a high risk pregnancy... Feel a normal room would do it but they told me not to be silly when I said I didn't mind moving!

Ally 24 hours later really does sound amazing, my original plan was to stay on a few days after Logan arrives but now I'm here, I just want to get home asap. Sounds soppy but I miss Neil and my cats lol

I'm hoping it will be over today, my midwife just came in and said about another girl that had 3 pessaries and got sent home for a week and is due back Sunday...but she's overdue and not high risk so I'm hoping to god that won't apply to me.

No need to apologise about being here off an on! Perfectly understandable that life is likely pretty hectic right now. Sounds like you've got things under control though. Good on you for soldiering through with the breast feeding but if it gets too hard, don't forget there are other options so pleased izzy has taken to her well, there can sometimes be a little bit of animosity can't there between new siblings.

Men are useless without sleep they really are. I sleep about 10% of the amount Neil does and he is utterly zombiefied most days! He's in for a shock to the system when Logan's here lol x

 

[kellie_w]

Ooooohh inoue! It definately wont be long for you now, i bet some point today things are going to start progressing. Im glad the bleed was nothing, that must have been so scary at this point of pregnancy.
Im so excited thst very soon we will get to see reimi!

Happy 39 weeks pops and huge congratulations time on reaching your due date!

Hoping things start moving for you today sarah, it must be so frustrating now to be waiting like this. Come on little logan, hurry up so mummy can go home!

Ally, sorry to hear breastfeeding not working. Are you trying to express yet? Have you had help from the pink ladies? Love how dave is getting a lay in, hope he let you have one too! And well done izzy on being a amazing big sister, knew she would!

Men are rubbish, wes has only got up once in the last 2 weeks and that was just to settle luke. He watches me crying in tiredness at the moment, like today at 6.30 i had been up since 2am (feed at 2-3, luke up crying 3-5, feed 5-6 then wide awake) but it still wont make him help. Like he says he has to work. Once luke is better and sleeping i can cope with the feeds, but damn its been a hard 5 nights so far. Other than the lack of sleep and illness all is great, managing to express 4oz a day still and oliver is still at 2 weeks nearly very content and easy.

 

[Scally]

Hey kellie!!!!!! U poor thing! Wes probably has a much easier day at work than you do at home so he needs to pull his weight! I really hope Luke gets better soon, surely the antibiotics should kick in soon.

I rung the pink ladies but nobody got back to me. We are ok ish with it, i will reach out to them again if i feel i am close to giving up again. I have had problems with a very sore right nipple- Poppy had ripped it to shreds and was bleeding, i almost gave up then as boob was so full and painful, but spent the last couple of days feeding her on the left then pumping from the right, but last night i got nothing at all when i pumped the right, so not sure if i have dried up? Will try to feed her that side this morning to see if my nipple has recovered a bit and if there is any milk.
BUT i did just google and find out i could feed from the one side if i wanted, which has made me feel alot more positive, my boobs would be lopsided but that doesnt bother me as long as i can bf for a bit longer!

Sorry that turned into an essay!

x

 

[Inoue]

Cheers Kellie . TMI alert but just went for wee and ended up doing unexpected loose bowel movements and had large globs of bloody slimey stuff from front area... However, I dont know if that was plug or *cough cough* semen .

Happy due date time!

Sarah, hope ward staff get around to you soon so you can see what there going to do today. It would be a nice feeling that you could hold little Logan within 48hours if you go c-sec route . Were all here for support if you need it

One boob feeding sounds a good way to go Scally, at least its still breastfeeding. Give other sore booby time to heal, sounds very sore

Xx

 

[Sarahcake]

Oh Kellie give Wes a telling off...he may have to work but then, it's no walk in the park for you either! Your working 24 hours a day and must be exhausted is Luke looking any better yet? Poor little man

Your doing great with the expressing! I imagine doing that is tiring in itself isn't it. I can't believe that Oliver is 2 weeks now though! That's flown by, he's grown so much already too! Glad he's lovely and content and not giving you too hard a time though fingers crossed Luke feels better soon and you can get some sleep, sleep deprivation is horrid and really makes everything look and feel 10x shittier doesn't it x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Wow I can't beleive Oliver will be 2 weeks old tomorrow that's crazy! Sorry you're having such a rough time at the moment Kellie, I hope Luke's better soon

Ally, do as best as you can with the BF'ing it's still early days but as you know it's not the be all and end all. So glad Izzy is smitten with her lil sis I can't wait to see my 2 together now, getting really impatient!!

Oh god Sarah I hope they don't send you home keep us updated with what the doc says. I have thought they'd have offered me an induction both times I was admitted with high BP and me being high risk because of that very reason but they sent me home both times! FX'd you get a much more sensible doctor than the 2 I've encountered!

Not much to report here, a few BH here and there but nothing to sing home about hoping my clary sage oil comes today so I can give that a whirl and see if it does much. I'm kind of hoping not to go until after the weekend though as Phil is working far away this week and is hoping to work on Sunday too for some extra £££ for christmas, but it's my sweep on Monday so maybe that'll kickstart something.

 

[ttc_lolly]

Ally - have you got some nipple shields?
