[abstersmum]

not a good day for me started with ctg heartbeat perfect then it went downhill i was told i had to stay in for monitoring and i asked if i could stay the day and go home at night, doctor said this would be against medical advice but she would ask, midwife came in and told me if baby had to be born early i would need to stay in i said i would prefer to not be induced till 37 weeks due to risk of brain damage she asked if i would rather have a brain damaged baby or a dead baby this is where i became a tad upset had blood tests came back que apologetic midwife and a package of care that means i get medication and monitoring 2 times a week sorry this is long and i hope you can understand it i just need to offload

 

[Faff&Fidget]

abstersmum! Jeez! No wonder you had to offload!!!!!!! I can't believe the midwife. Some people are so insensitive! I think they forget that it may be their job but they are dealing with people with feelings! Fingers crossed for you and too.

I was sad to read about some of the reactions you ladies have had when breaking news about your LO's. Its a shame that some of us have been made to feel bad about something so wonderful!

Its good that we have this place to come to vent and moan and also share good stuff too! I have gained so much from this place. Thank you to all you lovely mummies to be!

Sorry to hear about all that Abstersmum....the midwife shouldn't say things like that to you
What is it you need the medication for? Sending smiles your way x

its called obstetric cholestasis it affects my liver

 

[mum2be2011]

oh Abstersmum that is awful, dont midwives engage their brains before they speak no wonder you needed to vent. I would have been livid (think I may have swung for her).

On the plus side they are keeping a close eye on you and bean with the monitoring. Hope you and bean are ok.

 

[jojo-m]

Wow abstersmum how insensitive was your midwife! Glad she apologised, no need for her to add to your worry and upset! They don't like it when we don't take their advice, I discharged myself from triage after 3 hours of waiting for a dr when had a bleed other week, they wasn't impressed. At the end of the day you do have a life andthoughts and feelings and care is supposed to be about making the best care plan for that person! Patient centred care and everything!

Come offload here any time! I hope some treatment and close monitoring enables you to cook that baby as long as possible and you are as well as can be! Xx

 

[sar35]

abstersmum - sorry you had a crap time what a cow that mw was! but on the plus side at least they are monitoring you x

 

[mum2be2011]

Hi Sar, how you feeling today hun? Hope jellybean is behaving and not causing you any more problems or worry Fingers crossed you have no more problems.

Hey ladies!

First day back after half term today and it damn near killed me! Goodness knows how I'm gonna get through the next 5 weeks! My class are such a demanding little lot being a reception class of 4 year olds, they are lovely but a little bit of the mental and immature side a lot of the time lol!!! On the plus side they do make me smile and are always asking to make sure me and the baby are ok. Bless em!

abstermum that is poo! Some people just don't have tact and there's no need for it. Everyone knows we pregnant ladies worry that little bit more and saying things like that so does not help. My work friend got ob cholestasis in the later stages of her pregnancy and she said it drove her mad. It's the itching thing isn't it? Which I'm sure would worry me too. Sending lots of huggles xx

lovealittle1 its so good to hear your news! Happy 30 wks!

I am 31 wks today so that means SINGLE DIGITS!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!! Bean hasn't kept still today and has his feet right up under my ribs, so much so that when I'm sitting down he kicks at my boobs !!! Little monkey. OH has been laughin at how much my tummy has been moving since we ate our tea - which he cooked today yay! On the downside, I am feeling bigger now although people are still telling me how small I still am and sleeping well is starting to become a thing of the past!

Hope your all ok xxxxxxxxx

 

[mum2be2011]

smiffy - a class full of 4 year olds sounds a nightmare at the best of times. Dont get me wrong I love kids to bits but a room full thats a bit much Thats so sweet about them asking if you and baby are ok. They are so sweet and innocent at that age. Best bit about kids they always find a way to make you smile. When I was doing my nurse training (specialised in childrens) what got me was no matter how ill they were they always had a smile on their face and a way of making you laugh

Congrats on the single digits, its getting close and scary now

Sleep - who needs sleep lol , baby is getting you ready and prepared for the sleepless nights

 

[abstersmum]

just wanted to say thank you for all your kind words and support i did forget the best bit though, as i was leaving the midwife said we dont have any information on the condition but if you have the internet google it, i had no words left

thank you again i feel so much better

 

[LittleMrs]

abstersmum sorry you had such a poo day - she sounds like a right gem, I don't think.

I'm taking a 5 minute break from marking a pile of books. Smiffy, I agree, it's suddenly got a lot harder very quickly. I ended up having three antacids during the day and had heartburn all day. Then a meeting after school until 4:15 then picked up OH and got home for about 5:30. Then to the shop for eggs, make tea and sit down and mark. Still marking, it's going very slowly because I can't concentrate properly. I bet the 4 yr olds take a lot of energy. Most of my energy is expended through sheer patience - in order to keep the most disruptive child ever in my room today I had to ignore language that'd make your hair curl, not to mention the constant attempts to wind me up ('this book is crap', 'I hate your subject', 'I could take out everyone on this room if I wanted to', 'I'm not doing any writing, it's crap' etc etc) but I managed it, though I think my smile had begun to slip by the end. Knackered.

lol, not the best thing she could have said. They usually tell us not to google things, she could have printed something off for you, they are so lazy at times. Bet your confidence in them took a hit with that one.

 

[mum2be2011]

LittleMrs, sounds like you've had just as much of a poo day. I really dont know how teachers keep it together, id have lost my rag with them. All credit to you for keeping a cool head.
