Im still here and yes it's my due date today wooop!
Bean is being stubborn though and after about 2 hours of bouncing on my ball last night all I achieved was a bit f back ache, a few mild cramps and then sharp pains in my cervix as I was trying to get to sleep. Sleeping ok at the mo though apart from the coughing fit about 3am this morning!!
Can't believe all this action and still some babies are refusing to come out. I am hoping mine will start to show himself in the enxt day or 2 although I am still so nervous of the pian of labour and birth! Ah well suppose its too late for that now lol.
to those of you that need them! Too many posts to comment on/multi-quote!!
Well my midwife saga continued into new years day of all days. After tryin to get in touch with someone all week only to be told my mw would call me on tues (i.e. tomorrow), my OH answered my mobile on new years day morning to the team leader of community midwives. She wanted to speak to me but I was asleep - we had been up till 3am and this was 9.30am so rightly so - so she started to get a bit arsey with him. Anyway she told him that I had missed an appointment for a sweep to which he replied no she hasn't shes been trying to book a 40 wk appt all week. So mw then says well she is overdue, to which OH says no, shes not, shes not due till monday. She then tells my OH THE FATHER OF THE BABY no she was due on christmas day!!! The cheek as if he wouldn't know!!! Anyway she asked again to speak to me and he said no I'm not waking her up she needs to sleep. Basically she wouldn't accpet anything he told her and continued to say I was overdue and needed a sweep appt after I had missed one I didn't even know about!!!
Anyway when I woke up at 11am OH told me about this and it made me very cross as you can imagine. So I listened to my msgs cos she had already rang once before OH actually picked up thinking it might be important (showed as unknown number on my fone and we tend to ignore these lol). Apparently I had been booked for a sweep without them having spoken to me for fri (nye) and they were wondering if i had missed it cos I was in labour. Then there was another msg from wednesday from another mw telling me about said sweep appt - I can only assume i was on the fone when she called and my fone went straight to answerfone as I totally missed this msg and never got a missed call alert. So i called them back and was told the team leadr would call me back and she did. I basically straightened her out about my due date, they had me down as xmas day on their computer system and that hasn't been the case since my 12 wk scan. She started trying to tell me to book in with my mw at my dr's for my 40 wk appt and I was like thats what Ihave been trying to do all blooming wk woman! Well didn't say that but these people don't seem to cummincate with each other!! Anyway it ended with her leaving another message on fiona's system (my mw) telling her to call me on tuesday! The exact same result I already had without stressing me and OH about a load of crap cos they hadn't got their facts right!!!
Grrrrr Sorry that was mega long but it really annoyed me!
xxxx
No such luck I'm sure!
