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

[Scally]

Oh my god that midwife sounds horrendous! Sounds like she needs to go back and get some training! Aswell as an attitude adjustment- people are very entitled to do it drug free, and many people do! Lets hope she doesnt go anywhere near the women labouring!

Sadly, she does 2 days a week on labour and delivery then is out in the community the rest of the time, so shes let loose near women in pain all the time Id flip if she was my midwife thats for sure! The entire group just couldn't believe what she had said to her, the poor woman looked so dejected after she asked. Think she may have just needed that little bit of a confidence boost from the professionals, you know, just that 'we see women give birth without anything all the time' kinda speech but got lectured on not being able to do it instead

 

[Scally]

Its crazy! Surely she must have complaints made about her!? People unfortunately put their views onto others but she shouldnt do that, she should know better!
My friend did hypnobirthing- its not something i personally relate to, but if it works for her then great, its down to the individual, you just dont know how you are going to cope and deal with it until you are in that situation!
Maybe the woman will make a complaint about her?

[Sarahcake]

Oh she had an opinion on hypnobirthing too lol She finished off with saying to this lady that there's no better way to give birth than with pain relief and "ridiculous things like hypnobirthing and whale music do nothing to help" Then looked at the student as if to say dont you agree...the student just looked at the floor.

Ive got a feeling that she will complain, she's one of the more vocal of the group, the one not afraid to ask questions and give answers to things so I can see her writing in an email or ringing up. Just hope it doesnt reflect badly on that student too as like I say, she was brilliant. It was like she was the one with the years of experience and the midwife was the second year student.

Erg Sarah what a awful woman honestly, some people shouldn't be allowed to do jobs like her. It's like her opinion on things is the only opinion, what a bitch. And to say first timers can't give birth without pain relief, what a load of rubbish. Glad your appointment went well yesterday!

Lauryn, your bump is still looking lovely and perfect and I love your bag! I have the yummy mummy too but with purple bows. Can't wait to use it, but hoping it don't fall to pieces like my last one!

Pops, arya is beautiful, I have never ever heard of anyone use that name, but it's lovely. I didn't realise you are team yellow! What boys names do you have?

Inoue, glad your scan went well, did you get pictures? Must be amazing seeing reimi at this stage!

Just booked the whooping cough vaccine after lots of debating, just hope I don't regret it!

Had a lovely time meeting ally and izzy, our little ones really hit it off and enjoyed running into they walls

 

[Inoue]

Arr Sarah, she sounds horried! I hate it when they push there opinions on you like that. Its everyone's choice on pain relief .

Shite news on the MOT's; both cars failed so now got to pay £400 for repairs - not very chuffed but were screwed without the cars so there both booked in.

Scally, I had a tiny bit of pinkish blood when I wiped after a pee when I was in the garages toilet, was a little freaked out but remembered you put the same on here. Ive not phoned hospital as ive had no more but do you know why it happens? I got my pee tested today and it was all clear

You'l be fine with the whooping vaccine Kellie, the flu one is killing my arm though! Lol. Glad you, scally and kids had a good time - weve made some good friends on here xx

 

[Scally]

Oh no about the MOTs Inoue! That sucks!!!! We have ours on Saturday, I really hope it passes, last year it cost us over £200!
Oh no for your blood when wiping too, i havent had anymore, the mw just said it was possibly my plug coming away- you had that before didnt you?

Kellie- it was so lovely meeting you, so surprised about how quickly the time went! Luke is gorgeous, and they got on so well, both a bit mad seeing as there was lots of toys to play with but they found fun running into the walls!

x

 

[Inoue]

Yeh ive had plug loss before but im sure this tiny bit of blood was from pee hole, not vag hole so it cant be plug . Guess if I have no more then ill just forget it, just struck me as odd xx

 

[Sarahcake]

Yeah she was a bit of a nasty piece of work! Im actually hoping though that the student that was with her will be on duty when its my turn to be on labour ward as she was awesome! Would actually feel very well cared for if she were looking after me.

Really glad that you guys had a nice meeting! And it sounds so typical of kids to find fun in the most random of things, such as running into walls lol Put all the toys in the world in front of them, and they typically still want to run into things

Oo when are you booked in for Kellie? I was told its the flu one that causes the dead arms mostly rather than the whooping one, so fingers crossed you should be fine. Ive got mine booked for monday so will let you know how it goes if you havnt had yours by then that is!

Sucks about the MOT's So frustrating when that happens, ours failed the last one unexpectedly so had to find the money to fix that Least its now though I guess rather than when Reimi is here so you dont have to find the cash amid buying things that she needs now that shes here.

Both of you should keep an eye on the blood though, there may be a little irritation to your actual skin that wiping has just disturbed rather than something in the pee or it coming from within if that makes sense.

 

[Scally]

Inoue- how do you know it came out of urine hole? lol sounds bad but i couldnt work out which bit it was coming from, lol. first wipe was pink tinge, then second wipe a streak of blood the length of the paper then third wipe pink tinge again- i tried to then wipe the "different" areas but then nothing at all! lol
x

 

[Inoue]

Lol, sounds just like me! I have no idea but im leaning towards pee hole, it was surely to minimal to be from cervix, never know though; I may be wrong

Ive had no more from anywhere so im hoping it was a one off. I dont pick my car up till tomoz late afternoon so could do without a hospital run! X

 

[Scally]

Inoue- hows everything this morning? Anymore bleeding? I'm hoping u didnt have to do a hospital run!

For Kellie and Sarah- Make sure you do you whooping cough jab in the arm you dont sleep on! I mostly sleep on my left arm so had it done on my right, whenever i went to turn to my right hand side last night it was a bit sore x

 

[kellie_w]

Morning ally! I'm not the only early one today then! Luke was up at 6.10am earlier and earlier. Hope you have had no more bleeding x

Inoue, oh no to your bleeding and the mots, that really sucks that its going to cost so much right before reimi comes. Hope you also have had no more bleeding overnight. You are all a worry!

Sarah, I'm booked for Monday too! 3.35pm I'm in. I sleep on both arms so not really worried where it goes!

I'm going to have a productive cleaning day today..... I'm feeling the need to clean! Oh and I'm last ticker box today, and this time next month is my due date, the end is in sight!

 

[Scally]

Woohoo to being on the last box!!!!!!!!

I woke at 6am, Izzy didnt get up until 7, thought i'd get in a bit of baby and bump whilst the house was quiet!

Good luck with your productive cleaning day! I feel the need to bake this morning so going to make an Australian Crunch for the freezer ready for when baby arrives!
I have to venture out today in this horrendous weather to go to Tescos but luckily my OH is still on his course so I can drive!

x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Oooh last boxes for Kelliw & Ally, how exciting! I love moving up a box

Ally, what is an australian crunch?! It sounds amazing, whatever it is!

 

[Scally]

Australian crunch is a tray bake- sort of like refridgerator cake- it has cornflakes, coconut, choc in it- its very yum!
How are you doing Lauryn?

x

 

[ttc_lolly]

It sounds soooo good! I need to take up baking more often I think

I'm good ta hun, just my pelvis still giving me grief am going to talk to the MW about it at my appt on Thursday but I'm not expecting her to do much. Because I'm shared care between her and the consultant at the hospital it seems I'm just passed off to them a lot of the time, which is annoying because the hospital isn't really accessible to us for all the little things. For example, I never got my 28w bloods taken as she refused to do it and told me to go to the hospital I'm sure it was only to check on iron levels and other little things, but still!? I was wanting to get to the full 40w this time but if this pain continues I don't think I'll be wanting that much longer, which is a shame x

 

[Scally]

That is such a shame Lauryn- I hope you manage to talk to someone who will give you an answer and try to help. Bad that you havent had your 28 week bloods done!

I made a lemon drizzle cake yesterday to freeze as i figure when baby is here we'll be thankful of a yummy cake! Also freezing the OZ crunch i have made today. Made some choc chip muffins yesterday, and going to make a couple of cakes tomorrow for friends coming for coffee on Friday.
It seems to be my new nesting thing, i think its because i am getting too tired to do the cleaning etc but baking/cooking doesnt take much energy!

Is anyone else making things to freeze? So far we have a veg stew and a chicken stew in the freezer, planning on doing a lasagne, cottage pie, chicken soup, and spag bol too

x

 

[ttc_lolly]

I'm going to do some lasagne and stews I think, but will probably just wear my slow cooker out when baby's here. I didn't find it to bad cooking last time, but it's going to be totally different with having a toddler and a newborn this time I think.

I'm coming to yours for cake! You're like a domestic goddess

 

[Scally]

Ooooh yes slow cooker, forgot to put that on my list of things i want to get!

Haha to domestic goddess! I am most definitely not, most nights i cant be arsed to cook dinner! lol, but i crave cakes a lot so do alot of baking! haha!
