July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[geogem]

Sleep, whats sleep?

I dont seem to be getting that stuff at the minute!! I am soo uncomfortable this morning. Dont know whats up just dont feel too good!! think it might be me just being tired and moody!!

Anyone heard frm SJK? getting a little impatient now!! Purely selfish I know when she is the one going through it!!

Sarah - yeah I got your email and I will be replying to it when I get back from the school run!!

WL, Its not like my dad was horrible to me - just didnt know what to say!! thing is I was living with them so he did have to talk to me of sorts just nothing to do with the pregnancy, although I was reliably informed by my mum that he would wait til they had gone to bed and then ask her how I was and how the pregnancy was going. I dont blame him, everytime I did speak to him tho you could see the pain in his eyes that he didnt know what to do? bless him, Oh well its over now and I hope you sort it all out with your dad.

 

[geogem]

Oh yay single figures!!

 

[Elliebank]

Not heard from SJK - I'll text her now.

I don't want to rub it in girls but I only go the toilet once in the night....

 

[wishingonastar]

I don't want to rub it in girls but I only go the toilet once in the night....

ditto! usually i get up once to wee, between 1 and 5am, then sleep again til 6:30 and then i'm wide awake!

gem - that's great news on your dad

whitelilly - i remember seeing a thread about your situation a while ago...i'm so sorry there doesn't seem to be a resolution... unfortunately its true when people say you can't pick your family

 

[Elliebank]

I always get up at 2am!! It's very strange that it's always the same time every night, no matter what time I go to bed!

 

[wishingonastar]

i've just had a text from sjk:

"no joy 2nd pessary didn't work, am gutted, they tried to break my water, but still too high. they offered me back tonigh but i said no cos wee mans birthday sat, can't win "

 

[Elliebank]

Just had the same one, poor thing she's gutted. I always presumed that inducing would defo work

 

[wishingonastar]

maybethistime says she's bored as hell - she's two days overdue now
she said she'll wait til i've popped but i told her to go ahead and pop now cos we need another baby born!

elliebank - i thought that too - i thought inductions were a sure thing!

 

[shelleylu]

Hey girls,

Just thought I'd pop on quickly and tell you Im alright. Wow what a couple of days. I have felt better I have to admit!

Thanks Gem for keeping everyone updated. xxx

Well I am still no better off knowing whats up. Seems I have a bad viral infection with all the symtoms of swine flu. The doctor I spoke to yesterday over the phone was bloody useless. She only offered tami flu and then said it probably wouldnt be worth taking it, becuase it only reduced the length of time you'r ill by 1 day, and doesnt change how ill you get. My mum is poorly too and her GP said it can actually make you feel worse in some cases. So much for being ofered the PG safe drugs eh.... It looks like a mild strain of SF, and because the doc wasnt too concerned Ive tried not to worry too much - but thats not been easy especially.

So yeah, all my worrying wasnt it vain was it - more a prediction! My body is still aching, my head throat and back are killing too. I am so bored in that bed and ony got a couple of hours sleep last night. Wish I had a laptop to keep chatting to you girls.

G - really hope something happens for you soon hun x

SJk - if you're about - good luck for the weekend - If you last that long xxx

Thanks everyone for being lovely. Hope you have some baby action soon. Im off to stick my head down the loo...

 

[Elliebank]

Sorry yr feeling so crap Shelley but good to hear it doesn't sound serious

 

[wishingonastar]

shelley lovely to hear from you hun, just sorry you're suffering. think its safe to say we're all relieved to hear your symptoms sound on the minor scale from what doc has said

 

[godivalocks]

Hope you feel better soon, Shelley. Being sick is not fun .

 

[wishingonastar]

i've just seen jess_smurfs thread in third tri about her little boy born asleep yesterday... words just don't describe the loss she is suffering

that's another reason i really want this baby out sooner rather than later... whilst its in me i can only rely on feeling it kicking to know its ok and when it stops kicking i have to assume its asleep, whereas at least once its born i can hear it breathing in its sleep or poke it for a reaction

nature can be so cruel...poor jess

 

[whitelilly]

Shelley- I hope that you feel better soon.. lots of fluids to fluch a viral infection out. I can't believe they didn't offer you another antiviral.

Come on baby SJK- come out!!!!!!

In the meantime, I think someone else should pop!

Wishing, I also left a message on jes_smurf's thread... how awful for her and her family That kind of thing really scares me and I am so glad when I feel LO kicking me.

Don't know what's wrong with my bowels just now- last night I had the worst gas pains and BMs (sorry, gross, but they have been coming so regularly recently) and each time I have one I get this greeny/yellow discharge then white then greeny/yellow (no pain or itching so not infection)... my tummy is just hurting! I feel like i need to go again!!!

Luckily, hubby has charged the Nintendo DS amd I can play my brain training whilst am sat on the loo! xxx

Oh God, that's awful

 

[geogem]

Oh God, that's awful

ditto, poor jess!!

 

[elley_baby248]

I'm having pains every 10mins and they last for about a minute and a half! Not sure what they are but my god they hurt and inbetween i'm burning up nearly rang OH to come home from work this morning and i wouldn't mind but he wasn't even that far away at the time i could still here the car!

I've had to stop writing this about 4 times cause i've been in pain it really isn't my day today!

Hope your all ok.

On the Swine Flu front it's apparently in the town i used to live in and at my cousins school 3 kids have it so far and they still haven't closed the school.

 

[wishingonastar]

oh elley i'm afraid i don't know what the pains are hun ring your midwife

 

[Elliebank]

Elley have you rung the delivery suite? At my antenatal last night it said when they start lasting 60-90 seconds that's defo labour, altho they said they'd be about 5 mins apart. If they're regular tho defo sound like labour. How exciting!! Ring them just to see what they say (they'll prob tell you to stay at home & keep an eye on them) & text me if you go in!!!

Oh & keep stood up/walking round - that will speed labour up

 

[elley_baby248]

Nope having a case of i don't want to make something out of nothing so i'm going to keep an eye on them see if they get closer together stay the same or stop till this afternoon then i'll ring and see what they say. OH thinks it's the baby on his way out i think it's a false alarm lol!
