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

[Scally]

Bloody hell Kellie- you poor thing and poor Luke! It isnt your fault at all! They go to the ventouse far too quickly- they did with Izzy and the bruising was right above her eye, they shouldnt have tried with either of them by the looks of it! My god! x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Oh no, poor Luke you'd never tell now, he's such a happy, handsome little chap! It wasn't your fault x

 

[Inoue]

Oh Sarah! How nervy for you to be in hospital . Im glad the hospital looked after you and Logan is fighting fit! Did you manage to grab your hospital bag in time just incase it did turn out to be pre-term labour? Anyway, im so glad all is ok, was thinking you would be the first one to pop then! Oh and ditto on the internals, dam I squirm when they dig around up there. Dont think ive ever not had a tear in my eye after one.

Your NCT classes sound fab pops! . Swollen scrotums look vile to begin with

Xx

 

[Sarahcake]

Oh Kellie no that was not your fault, that was a doctor being massively over zealous with that ventouse. Nothing at all you could do to stop that hun. You really wouldn't be able to tell though now from what I've seen of Luke! And even with the head trauma, he was a damn cute baby

Feelin a bit better now thanks guys. Ante natal class was fun, was talked through a normal vaginal birth this week, when to call the hospital, where to go etc. was very informative. Next week covers inductions, c-sections and things that can possibly go wrong. Scary info no doubt but necessary to know IMO.

Hospital bag? What's one of those...nope still don't have one sorted. Annoyingly, I'm not the one with the money, that's Neil and his wages has gone on bills and birthday presents for me. Whilst I can't be annoyed as its for me, I kinda am as this hospital bag needs doing ASAP the internal was just nasty. It's only the second one of had, the first one was using a speculum too and it wasn't as painful as the two I had the other night!

Thanks for the well wishes everyone I hate that all I do is post drama lol but thank you all for being there for me x

Thank you for your comments, it was a horrible time, just to show how quick babies heal though this is 6 days later

The black spot was where the skin was torn off which caused the problems. So yep, no epidural for me this time! I can't risk this again

Glad you are feeling a bit better Sarah, get that bag sorted ASAP! You dont have to spend loads, do you have most bits sorted? Your classes sound really good, nothing like what they do here. Lol, you don't post drama, we are all here for you to listen and support or give a hug where we can!

I'm happy, I managed to get a mothercare my4 for £99 on eBay last night this is the pram I was originally having until oh decided on the phil and teds double. So now I have a double when I'm on my own and the my4 when I'm with oh and Luke walks, or for when I just want to leave Oliver in the car seat as it clips straight on the chassis. I hope it's in as good condition as the seller is claiming!

Good luck for your midwife appointment ally! X

 

[Inoue]

Oh Sarah . If money is quite tight then at least just get a carrier bag sorted that you could grab etc. Maybe few newborn nappies, maternity pads (£1.10 from boots), baby going home outfit, spare clothes for you. That would at least get you through the main stages hun .

Kellie, poor little luke! That looks so sore . He looks gorgeous now so whatever happens at birth, it can/will heal .

Xx

 

[Scally]

Kellie- yay on your pram bargain! I am hope its in great condition! When do you hope to get it? A good idea to have a smaller pram too not just the double for more awkward places!
Sarah- I agree with Inoue- maybe just try and get a few bits together.

I have my MW appointment today at 2.15, i am very excited its been 6 weeks since i had my last app!

Sarah - I agree, you don't need a lot of money to get your bag sorted. A few nightshirts that you might already have, or grab some from Primark, Asda do maternity pads for 94p, breast pads (pack of 40) are about £1 and they do disposable briefs (pack of 5) for about £1.20, or you could just get some cheap ones from Primarni again or grab some of the oldest, holiest, crappiest pairs you have at home

Great bargain on the pushchair Kellie

 

[time]

What a bargain on the pram Kellie! I love the my4 it was one of my options its fab!

Definitely get some sort of bag packed Sarah just incase.. I'm slowly edging mine down towards the front door haha!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Happy 34 weeks time! Oooh you're a honeydew now on your fruit ticker!

 

[time]

Oooh yay 34 weeks!! Didn't realise! And only a watermelon to go now woo!

Got a cold at the moment and the coughing has hurt my ribs so I'm all achey this morning also feel like baby has moved position again as I'm pretty uncomfortable and there's a lot of pressure under my right ribs I'm just hoping she hasn't turned completely round after being head down since 26 weeks!

 

[Scally]

happy 34 weeks Time!!!!
Sorry to hear about your cold, and lets hope your cheeky LO is where they are supposed to be!

[Sarahcake]

Woohoo! 34 weeks Time

And I will defo get my hospital bag sorted this week for sure. I can pack pretty much everything to be fair, just not the things like maternity pads. I have a tonne of nappies and things here. Was given a list of things to bring with me to hospital at my ante natal class yesterday and looking at it again, I actually have the majority here. And the things I am missing, pads, breast pads, and they want us to bring their own towels can just be added in as I get them I guess. So long as the bulk of it is packed.

Time, I get a lot of pressure under my left ribs but thats because Logan's bum is under there, maybe your girlie is just having a little bit of a shuffle around rather than rotating from head down to the other?

 

[time]

Baby was definitely just rolling around this morning and seems to have gone back to normal now so was definitely her bum pushing up not head thank god!

 

[Sarahcake]

Haha awesome She's just having a stretch out, rooms getting a little tight now in there!

 

[time]

Does anybody know what I can take for a cough/blocked sinuses that's safe?! Really struggling today

 

[Sarahcake]

I wish I could help The last time I asked in the pharmacy they told me nothing at all, im sure there has to be something though :S

 

[time]

I got some halls soothers as thought I'm not allowed any syrups etc but they've actually made my cough worse and now my ribs are agony and the coughing going nowhere may have to have some just hot water with lemon!

 

[Sarahcake]

I have heard that simple linctus is alright to use, some websites say it is ok but my pharmacist just flat out said no to them all. Dont know if she was being a bit over zealous though and blanket banning the lot as she wasnt sure.

 

[ttc_lolly]

There isn't much you can take time try some hot water with honey & lemon x
