Fingers crossed you progress into labour Sassy!

Ditty, I hear you BF & knowing how your doing/if your LO is getting enough is very stressful, do hang in there, it should definitely get easier!

Will be heading to the ER when DH arrives. I got into another coughing fit and something popped where my ribs were already sore. After the pop there was excruciating pain. I can't move and can barely take a breath. I can't get out of my recliner so not sure how I will be getting in the car but am really scared because this pain is just awful and I'm alone here with DD. Thankfully she is in bed and doesn't have to see me squalling in the chair. Keep me in your thoughts ladies. I'm not sure what is going to happen especially with delivery after this. I will update you when I can. It may take some time but I could use all the good thoughts and wishes please.

Thanks for the advice ditty. It sounds like ur doing great. Don't be discouraged. I'm discouraged and stressed about the demand. It's def consuming

Kaiecee I think the cuddle bag is just fine. As the pp said ur just going from building to car to house so just have dh warm the car.

Sassy omg feel better. U poor thing!!!!!!

It's 4am here (uk) and I've been awake since 2.30 and I can't sleep. Having mild contractions every 10 mins ish. I know I really should try to sleep at this stage but I just can't

Poppy do you think this is it? I had minor ones last night in bed for 40 minutes about 5 minutes apart but they died off when I got out of bed.

Poppy do you think this is it? I had minor ones last night in bed for 40 minutes about 5 minutes apart but they died off when I got out of bed.

I have been up and walked around and they are still coming. Each contraction lasting a minute. They r not really painful, just uncomfortable. Feels just like having my blood pressure done but across my stomach. They are between 10-14 mins apart though. Hubby and i went for a really long walk yest and then i spent the evening bouncing on my ball. just before i webt to bed it teally felt like bsby was done really low that i couldbt walk properly. I really should try to sleep.

Hi Ladies

Thank you for all your kind words, we are doing ok, I think! I haven't slept much, probably an hour or so so would definitely say to anyone due soon get as much sleep as possible. They let me rest for two hours before pushing as I was so tired and if was so surreal to do that. Know I'm exhausted but elated all in one.

Archie is doing ok, again I think. They pretty much leave you to your own devices here, he is feeding well but I am not sure how much, if any he is getting. He had a good feed shortly after delivery, again at 8.30pm ish and again on and off from midnight till 4am and then would only settle asleep on my chest. Too amazing for words to describe. He is sleeping now, so going to try and grab some zzz or atleast just rest.

I hope everyone is ok.

Sassy, hun I really feel for you. I hope you get some help at the ER

Poppy - sounds like how mine started, mine were about 4/5 mins apart when I woke and lasting a minute. Hope this is it for you.

Melly - sounds promising too, fingers crossed.

Someone asked about hospital bag essentials, I could not have done without . . .

Lip balm! My Vaseline has been a god send as my lips were SO dry
Ice cold water! I was munching on ice like it was chocolate
Hair band
Cold flannel
Fan
Pads - lots of them! I bought one pack in and have nearly gone through them and the midwife said i was hardly bleeding now, so would recommend two packs plus spares at home for DH to bring in.

Sorry if I have missed anybody, and thanks again. Will catch up properly when back home which should be Monday / Tuesday as they like first time mums to stay in for two nights.

I can't believe I've done it, all of my dreams have now come true and I am so pleased to have had the opportunity to share this amazing journey, past, present and future with you ladies xxx

 

[Kaiecee]

Hope ur ok sassy

 

[Kaiecee]

Thanks for all your thoughts ladies ... verdict is a cracked rib. I am beyond pissed off because there is nothing they can do for ribs nor is there any medicine safe to take while pregnant. They sent me home. They didn't even send me up to L&D for them to look at me and perhaps make a further decision. The doctor who saw me in the ER didn't even know if there was a cough medicine safe for me. I am doing my best to stay calm because I will only upset the baby. So far it isn't working. I'm in excruciating pain, my BP shot up to 138/100 ... normally I'm 100/65 ... I told them this. Also after I got there, my feet start swelling something crazy. The skin is so tight I honestly feel like my toes will explode. The baby is moving like crazy and I keep having BH because of my body being in frantic mode. I'm doing everything I can to be calm but I told DH I would honestly rather be in labor ... this pain is indescribable. I can't lay down and I've been coughing a little ... yea I have no tears left because of the pain that sent me in. I was expecting them to go ahead and take her via c-section so they could give me something for the pain. I know they can't fix rib issues, but normal non pregnant can't get some relief from pain medication. DH is suppose to work at 9 am and they just told me at the ER call your OB in the morning. UM HELLO!!!!???? Why are you not sending me to L&D???? No a c-section isn't what I want or should I say what I would have ever planned for but I can't even move without crying ... how am I suppose to take care of a 4 year old ... or go pee all day long???? I will be calling first thing in the morning. It seems like forever away and I am only hoping that I can stay calm enough to make sure Chloe is ok in there. Thank you again ladies for thinking about me. I really needed that tonight.

No. If you take a step in through that hospital you have to go through the ER first unless the doctor gave you the referral. I will be very honest, I'm in excruciating pain right now ... and sadly coughing. I just want to make it through the night without throwing up ... I am starting to feel sick at my stomach from the pain.

If I go to the hospital since I'm over 18 weeks I go straight to maternity ward I really think its shitty how their treating someone pregnant and with a cracked rib like its nothing I hope u can get answers in the morning cuz this seems ridiculous ill be hopeing the best for u cuz I'm sure u are suffering please update when u know something

Can u contact er again and lie? U could say u passed out or had bleeding or sonething

 

[Kaiecee]

That's what I would have done too just lie cuz if not they just send u home even though u should have been referred to maternity ward

 

[Poppy84]

My contractions r getting a bit stronger now
