July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[TigerLady]

Whew! I am glad she is staying.

Elley, I know you wanted to go home, but you are safer there! They will make sure all is well with you and bubs. Thank god you went in! Thinking of you.

 

[geogem]

Oh I'm glad she is staying!! at least they will be able to keep an eye on her and bubs!!

keep us updated!! will check in in the morning!! off to bed now peeps

spk tomorrow!!

 

[whitelilly]

thanks for the updates, good to know they are lookng out for her and baby xx

 

[wishingonastar]

poor elley and her bubs
thank god they made her stay... i imagine being in the hospital endlessly isn't appealing particularly at this stage where you're uncomfortable anyway, but given bubs was getting distressed and elley's body wasn't coping well for a time she really needs monitoring
god, poor thing

 

[Elliebank]

Elley feels fine this morning. She had a bit of backache & hip pain in night but apart from that they were both ok. She went back on the monitor this morning & baby's trace was perfect & they didn't lose it once like last night. She should be coming home soon, is just waiting for the Doc. In the meantime she can hear someone giving birth!!!

[shelleylu]

Hey girls,

Blow me down - I havent got time in my life to read 5 pages of posts like that again! especially when they are all so high drama - It was like reading a novel - i wanted to go straight to the back and see what happened!! lol.

Thanks EB for keeping us all posted. Elley - do what you're told in future woman!! haha, its so hard to keep pregnant women in hospiatl for some reason! I'd love the chance at the minute though- bit of peace eh!

OK so I thought I was in labour yesterday. Seriously girls. Weirdly similar to Elley actually. Had bad back ache getting worse for the past 3 days. Yesterday I had my final exam (woohoo!) and popped out for a nice lunch with OH afterwards. We picked DS up after school, and I had this overwhelming urge to sleep. I literally fell asleep in the car on the way home, walked in the door and got into bed. My back was killing still too. I started to feel crampy and Ive had the dreaded bum wee for about 2 days too - everytime after I eat.

SO I woke up about 7pm feeling sick as a pig. Couldnt rest, couldnt get up. When I went into labour with DS I felt like shite all day before the contractions started - just like last night.
I couldnt eat, I was dizzy and felt so poorly. I stayed in bed and passed out about 11pm. I woke up at 11am today - no baby so obv wasnt labour!!

Still got back ache, still tired and just not right. I think thats what comes from overdoing it a tad!

Im keeping an eye on the pains, so fingers crossed. OH is franticlly decorating LO's room as we speak!

SJK - hope you have a good MW app hun.

Everone else - have a great day. Hope its nice and sunny where you are

 

[godivalocks]

Wow . I step away for a while and come back to pages of drama. Glad everything seems to be ok.

 

[maybethistime]

I so badly want her out now but thinking I still have a few more things 2 do lol. My friend texted last night and asked for a few ideas for baby, and she got the cot top changer off line and got it delivered its here in a week
Me fella only just started at his new job bout 2 months ago and his mate told him they have start a collection for aaliyah how sweet is that lol I suppose he is a very likable person after all (just kidding)

 

[TigerLady]

I would have thought that was labor, too, Shelly!

 

[Elliebank]

Hi girls, sorry not beeen on all day - been carpet shopping & cleaning up!! Elley text me at dinner to say she was going home, they have no idea what it was but don't think it was anything serious as her & the baby are fine

 

[Twiglet]

Gonna go catch up on everything now...got tonnes of pages to read!!

Just wanted to say, am all moved in to my new house, get the internet on thursday so will be back then woop. Finished uni forever and got a 2:1. Just pottering around now waiting for everything, trying to keep busy lol. Hope everyone is fine...am now off to read the pages and pages.

 

[elley_baby248]

Well am home fnally thank god! Sorry for all the drama lol

I was fine apart from the back ache till i was strapped to the monitor then all of a sudden i went really heavy and couldn't focus or see anything trying to hear what was said to me was so difficult was like i was underwater with cotton wool in my ears i struggled to open my eyes! The midwife at the time thought it was fright from being in the hospital etc and tried to dismiss it she did the same the 2nd time it happened even though that time it was more severe. My poor Oh didn't know what to do as minutes before i was fine laughing and joking.

Apparently i passed out 3 times but i can't for the life of me remember the 3rd time so i have lost half an hour of my life somewhere! When i finally came round i was so hot an sweating like mad couldn't breathe and didn't have a clue what was going on. The midwife had got a seniour midwife in the room and i didn't even have a clue didn't know she was there until i was coming round and she asked me to turn onto my side. While all this was going on my BP dropped from 120 to 66 ad the babies HB went from around 140 to 100 then shot straight up to 200! It took almost 3 hours to get a decent trace on him as they kept losing his heart they got that worried they were going to scan me. Am pretty sure they thought he was in distress. The Registrar came in and i think he was willing to do a Section if he was in distress. Eventuall everything settled down and they decided i needed to stay so i got sent up to the ward. I have to say the nurses were lovely and so was the ward.

I got put back on the monitor this morning cautiously after passing out on it last time. The midwife made sure i was sat up and not going to pass out before she left me for a while. His trace was perfect never lost it on the monitor at all unlike last night when i was disappearing every 2 mins.

Spoke to the Consultant this morning before he discharged me and he has no idea what happened as all my bloods and stuff came back perfectly fine so i'm a bit of a mystery atm which i think is bugging me more than anything.

I never thought i would be so happy to get home and to see my OH this afternoon!

And thanks Ellie for keeping everyone updated and keeping my mind occupied last night.
