Nothing is gonna ruin my brussel-athon

 

[smiffy85]

Ewww brussels! I always have a few but just to join in lol! Mind you with the trumpeting they cause I might just take off as I seem to be a lot more gassy than usual at the minute

Had a lovely time at school this lunchtime and got lots of good wishes from everyone! Dinner was yummy too hehe I ate lots!

Been back to the docs this evening and I've got some more antibiotics so I will hopefully shift this sore throat in the next few days yay! Apparently my tonsils are fine but its behind them thats sore. Something called Pharyngitis (sp?). I'm just glad I;ve got something to sort it out! Then I will be free to sleep again and only be woken up through the need to pee and the uncomfy-ness lol! Thing is I don't feel ill which is a bonus. Not like when I had my chest infection a few wks ago. No temp or anything. So get cracking pills hehe!

Jade sorry caine is poorly. Is he old enough to be able to blow his own nose? I dunno about these things yet hehe. I saw this thing in the pharmacy earlier (and this sounds gross but its not cos I checked on the packet), there's this nasal decongester thing you can get where you put something near their nose and suck the snot out. Don't worry it goes into a little sealed chamber but i think it sounds genius! My friend has one apparently and swears by it!

Off out for a meal with the OH tonight! Just the two of us! Got a table booked for 8pm so gonna go and get ready now

xxxxxxxxxx

 

[Neko]

All agreed then? Legs crossed Xmas day?

Absolutely. Nobody's allowed to be born. lol!

Awww.... But I'll be just one day short of 38 weeks. Can't I have an exception.


I'm just hoping to have the baby before New Year's so I can get my tax deduction.

 

[Jolene]

Congrats Lovealittle on 37 weeks!!!

Jolene I dont recall anyone washing my scar. I took showers soon as I could get up.

I don't think they go near your cut when they wash you. I was just wondering if it's really necessary for them to come and wash you or if you can just opt to wait it out until you're ready to get up. How long before they remove the catheter? Anyone know?

My son and I had pharyngitis when I was about 20 weeks pregnant. The antibiotics sorted it out. Hope you feel better soon and congrats on 38 weeks!

my catheter was removed after 2 days, after that i had to keep the my wee 3 times so they could measure my output. I was still freaking out when i bled, my brain thought i was still pg so was not understanding that the bleeding was normal

 

[jojo-m]

Jolene it might be different in your country of course but in the UK catheters will be removed on day 2 and you will probably require just one bed bath in the first 24 hours, they won't wash your scar but may change the dressing you have on the scar if there is strike through. As soon as your able they will have you up and out of bed to move around and reduce risk of DVT's x

Leanne hope your better soon now, Jade hope Caine is on the mend soon and hugs to anyone else who just needs them! x

 

[sar35]

nobody washed my scar, they changed my pads and cleaned me up down there, i took off my dressing when i had a shower the next day i think.
Have a lovely evening Leanne x

I am praying I don't have a baby born on the day before, day of, or day after Christmas! I think it would be so hard to plan birthday parties around that time... you'll hardly ever be able to actually celebrate your birthday on that day because you'll have to move celebrations to another time..... *sigh* But if it happens, then it happens! You best believe my legs will be crossed all day!!

Just got back from the doctor's and my amnio fluid is low because of my APS it sucks to have a medical condition that affects pregnancy... but LO looks great on the monitor so they are letting her stay in there until further notice. I have to go to doctor TWICE a week now to keep a close eye on me and baby... but all is going pretty well! I'm so thankful! If all goes according to plan... she won't be sharing her birthday with Christmas, but with New Years Eve instead (which I'm perfectly okay with...) I think New Years would make the BEST birthday parties! lol

I love brussels, I eat loads of em! But I also stink atm and am very gassy too

OH hates mefor it

Caine sort of can sniff down and is grasping how to get snot out

[Mom 2B]

So im back from the drs now. I do indeed have pupps. told me to try calamine lotion and benadryl for a week and if its still bothering me to come back and get a prescription. I sure hope this works!!!!

My fundal height is only measuring 32 so im still 2 weeks behind schedule. I have gained 4 lbs...yay! My 32 week u/s shows my fluids at a low but normal range. Still going to have another u/s at 35 weeks thou. I am not dialated adn have had my group B strep swab done now. i go back in 2 weeks and the reesults from my 35wk u/s should be in so im interested to see what that says.

Ok im off to lube myself with calamine lotion and hope adn pray that it eases the itch.

 

[LittleMrs]

Argh - LO is trying to re-enact certain scenes from Alien. She's squirming so badly my stomach has been making waves- she's not been this active before. She's calmed down a little bit. Starting to think I want her to come now. I had thought that previously but once I reached 37 weeks I got cold feet and changed my mind.

You have my total sympathy as It actaully ruined my first 2 weeks with Caine, most unpleasant part of giving birth

Wont be long now do you think you will be on time/early/ov er?

 

[LittleMrs]

I think I'll be over. I'd like to be on time or maybe a little early. Originally I would have said I'd like to be a little bit early but after 37 weeks but I'm starting to get a bit nervous now and I don't really feel ready. I'm uncomfortable but I'm still just quite nervous about it - partially about giving birth but mostly about everything changing and stuff. I think 40 weeks is too long - too much time to think about it, I've over-analysed from every angle and it's made me quite scared of all the things to come.

What about you? I think you might be early - what do you think?

 

[jms895]

Mmmmm not so sure now, prob around about due date xx

 

[jms895]

Dont be worried about the birth hun - honestly. Keep calm and it is fine, not as bad as you are probably imagining - honestly

 

[LittleMrs]

I'm not sure it's the birth I'm worried about- I mean, I am a little worried about it, I've never done it before. Think I'm more worried about coping with parenthood and the house being unsafe- just found that part of the window in the kitchen is coming away from the wall, the one in our room is letting in water and then there's the doors and the plaster in the house is rubbish and there's the condensation in the bedroom and the list goes on. I'm worried the house isn't fit for a baby and something will go wrong or they'll take the baby away because the house isn't good enough or I won't cope with going back to work or we're going to struggle with money or we'll be rubbish parents or my OH will leave it all to me. I just feel like there's so much to do but there's not enough time to do it but it's all so surreal that it doesn't matter anyway because there's never going to REALLY be a baby. Does that make any sense at all? Like I say, I've had way too much time to think
about it now. Was it like that with your first?

I was totally like that with my first. always worrying that i would be a horrible mom, or hate my baby, the house not being ready....the list goes on! But it all works out. You still have time after baby arrives to fix up the house. You will be an amazing momma. Its all nomal....try not to worry as hard as that is!

 

[LittleMrs]

It's just all very surreal. I just can't believe it's actually going to happen. I think
it's just too big to imagine is all. Well, it'll be real soon enough.

Shame hun, sounds like you really had a tough one

Thx jojo- I seriously can't remember all this, lol.

 

[jojo-m]

I only know because I do occasional bank work on maternity wards when I'm not on placement ;-) I often look after women having had sections, most are fine, use the bed electrics to help them, I mostly answer calls to pass the ladies their babies from the cot. Some others ask you to do everything, feed and change the baby but I suspect that's more from exhaustion than not being able to! It will all come flooding back soon, not long now Hun x
