~ * ~ July Beach Bumps ~ * ~

[Aaisrie]

Hann my hospital is really busy too - when I was there at the start of June the next earliest MW appt they could give me was 28th July [41 +3] hahaha fortunately because I know my MW she rang me and squeezed me in as a double booking one day instead. I had my S&S at 39 +6 because I was in for something else and they did the "I won't tell if you won't" but normally they won't do one until 40w here.

Doods she's to be on them for a week, I have to be really careful because I have a true [anaphylactic] allergy to penicillin and that's what she's on... I keep nearly licking my fingers after I've given it to her!! Fortunately she likes it, it smells like banana, so she's been no bother taking it.

Wez I hope you get your bubs soon.

Happy anniversary Caz and Hann

Can't remember what else has/hasn't happened, still needing matchsticks to hold my eyes open AND my FIL is here for the day too... entertaining while tired... zzzzzzzzzzzz lol

 

[DragonMummy]

Argh I feel a bit guilty coming in here now when youre all so uncomfortable and I've got my nice empty uterus! (and a pelvis that works again - omg the relief....)

Fifi and anyone else having mad contractions - look at all the jip i had. We got there in the end. all I will say is I noticed a big difference when they actually meant business. Before there were things I could do to stop them. I only seemed to get them when I was laying down so wandering round and/or having a bath would kill them dead. When I finally got the "proper" ones, there was no shifting them! they just came regardless of what i was doing. I have to say, if one more MW had referred to them as tightenings or niggles I was going to properly lose my shit with them!!

 

[mummySS]

Aww Linds I am loving your new tickers! And pmsl at your empty uterus - the relief must be immense! How's the c-sec recovery coming along? X

Will come on properly later - but OMG just HOW difficult was it to sleep last night. Sooooo hot. I literally woke up every half hour to shift positions (from one hurting hip to another). Which is why I've been in bed for 12 hours but probably managed an average of about 4 hours sleep. Oh well, best get used to it I guess!

 

[Hann12]

Eve - the appointments thing is ridiculous! They should give priority if you are about to drop! I still can't get through to mine after trying over 2 hours! I've now left a message asking them to call me but who knows if they will as they only return emergencies! I bet I have to end up driving over there which will really annoy me as it's a 20 minutes drive!

Linds - Sophie evacuated at the right time, it's too hot to be pregnant! Thank god it's meant to get cooler tomorrow!

 

[Blue_bear]

I was the same Simmy, hot and sore hips. My left hip is still sore now actually so must be the way he's positioned himself today or something.

Linds - I want an empty uterus!!

 

[caz_hills]

I can't web remember what an empty uterus would feel like!!! (that's a sentance that I never thought I would say.....!) but it sounds good Linds!!!

Simmy - weather was hot so last night. Was the same - I tossed and turned all night with sore hips and being too hot. How attractive!!!

 

[Clareabell]

Hi all thanks for all the congratulations! Niamh is absolutely beautiful and has masses of dark hair. She is doing brilliantly and I am recovering well from the c sec! The bruising where she spent 17 hours trying to get her head through my pelvis is a different matter, but even with the drama I would do it all over again! Being a mummy is amazing. We are both so well that they are letting us leave this afternoon so we are just waiting to get picked up by Duncan can't wait to get home

As Linds said I was having contractions for exactly a week before my waters broke. So they were not useless and got me there in the end. Will catch up later when home. X

 

[DragonMummy]

Claire can we now have a competition to see who has the hairiest baby?

Sophie is like a little rhesus monkey. when I washed it, it went all curly, like a little fro! it's only baby down though, I reckon she'll have fine light brown hair like me and Dragon. But she def has more than he had.

Re c-sec recovery, I am on a whole different PLANET to my recovery with Harry. I have just come upstairs from tidying and dusting the living room!

 

[Doodlepants]

Glad you're able to come home so soon Claire I can't wait to see pics!

***Please don't read if eating ***
So I've just got back from my MW appointment- while I was waiting I found out that my MW is on holiday so I sulked in the waiting room thinking I wouldn't get my sweep lol!
Anyway, they've sent my wee away due to proteins- but my BP is fine so no-one's worried really, I think it's just a precaution. Baby's measuring fine.
Her head is engaged woohoo!!
When they offered to do the sweep I must have said "yes please!" so desperately because they both laughed at me!
So they did the sweep- they said my cervix was forward and low or something- she said she managed to 'get inside my cervix' which I'm guessing is a good thing lol! And she said she could feel the baby's head! I had some bleeding and she said I might have my show now- nothing yet so I'm not holding my breath or anything, but you never know!
I'm booked in again for next Monday when they'll do another sweep and book in a 'just in case' induction date. I've been mildly crampy today but I'm just excited that the end is s near! In 2 weeks at the most I'll have my baby!!!

 

[amand_a]

Bit of a one sided one today sorry.

Went to the GP today, turns out the silly cow did tests for hepatitis not bile salts. When I tried to explain my concerns she just told me to ring the OB, cue me coming home and ranting furiously. I rang the hospital and wow what a difference. They knew exactly what I was talking about so have just got back from the hospital, more bloods taken and baby trace done. The bile salts may take up to 10 days which is a pain but in the mean time I will be monitored and have bloods taken twice a week so I am happy they are taking me seriously and I will be properly monitored. so thats it for now, back to check on bubs tomorrow.

Off to bed now, will catch up properly in the morning!

 

[DragonMummy]

Oh good news, Amanda. Doesn't it make a difference when you talk to someone with a clue!

Doods that sounds bloody promising! Reckon she'll be here soon. have you decided on what to do with her name or will you wait til you've met her?

 

[Doodlepants]

Ahh Amanda poor you! I bet sitting on the phone is just what you feel like right now! Glad things are getting sorted xx

Linds- She's definitely going to be a Lorelai or Naomi- M's leaning more towards Naomi as we spend our entire lives spelling our surname for people and the poor girl wouldn't stand a chance if she was called Lorelai- but I'm going to wait until we see her and hope that between now and then no-one throws another name into the mix!! x

 

[sparky32]

Amanda so glad your being monitored properly. Are they putting you on Urso to help with the itch? My bile acids went down last week but have shot right back up to their highest level, thankfully they're delivering her on fri so not too long to go.

Clare, sounds like you quite a traumatic experience, hope your recovering well.

Doodles, oh sounding very promising

I got my first injection this morning for babys lungs, still hard to think she'll be here by the end of the week. Having lots of tightenings but i think i maybe about to get another episode of diahorrea back to light foods i think.
Well we're totally stumped for a name! We just cant agree on anything, my oh likes Lily & i like Sophia. Our other daughter is picking her middle name & she wants to name her after her other sister Grace, which i thought was very sweet & entirely her choice. What name do you ladies lije better??

Xxx

Sparky just noticed on your siggy... If we have a baby girl is going to be called Isabella Grace...

 

[sparky32]

Aw such a beautiful name its so elegant and pure! Our other daughter gave Grace her middle name too, i was very impressed as she was only 9 at the time xx

 

[MrsWez]

Thanks for all the support ladies I was up all night crying in pain and frustration. I look rather depressing. We go to the Dr. in an hour an I'm going beg for him to get this really going. Cry if needed. Congrats to Claire and DM! Glad Saraya's feeling !better, Eve. Sorry to anyone in pain or not feeling well. Wish me luck

 

[sparky32]

Wez, i wish you all the luck in the world. It really has gone way too long and i hope the doctor does something about it today. Sending lots of labpur dust and big hugs and keep us posted if you can xxx

 

[melissasbump]

Wez good luck hun, hope this is it for you!! xx

 

[BlueViolet]

Wez, hope your doctor appointment goes well. Good luck! You deserve some relief after all this time.

GW, I think I found that app and it's $.99, which isn't much, but is there a free version too that I missed? I would have to have other people download it too in order to text them and I think talking them into downloading a free app would be easier.

Squeeker, gorgeous photos of you and hubby and the nursery. I like the light green color. Very cute

Sparky, hope you feel better soon! Also, I like both names, so I'm no help. Maybe flip a coin and see if you're happy with the results? If not, pick the other name. Just an idea. My husband and I are still struggling to pick a boy name just in case the tech was wrong and we're having a boy instead of a girl.

Fifi, I hope the contractions pick up for you and you'll get to meet your baby soon.

Samzi, good luck! Sounds like you're close

Doodle, I'm glad you got your sweep. I hope it works! The eggplant parm didn't work for me, but it's delicious, so do try it I still like the name Lorelai, but I can understand if you're afraid people won't know how to spell it.

Caz and Hann, enjoy your anniversaries!

Eve, hope your FIL's visit goes well.

DM, glad you're enjoying your "empty uterus." HAHA!

Bb, hope you get an empty uterus too! Hang in there!

Mummy, it stinks about the heat. Do you guys have air conditioning?

Clarea, glad you're able to come home so soon. Sounds like you had quite the ordeal, but I'm glad you got through it and you're both healthy.

Amanda, glad they finally took you seriously. Hopefully, they'll get the results sooner than expected.

As for me, I'm still pregnant and huge! lol I'm having a tougher time rolling myself out of bed for the many bathroom breaks during the night. I would love to try the put it out of my mind approach, but it's a little tough right now. I need a distraction that doesn't involve shopping. Reading at the cafe last night was fun for about 10min until my one foot fell asleep and I had to walk around. I bought Good Night Moon for the baby and a cloth book that's really adorable.

 

[curlew]

hi all

Caz - hope you got the shopping you needed. happy 2nd anniversary and enjoy your meal this evening.

sparky - 4 sleeps wow not long. I like Lily Grace but I like Sophia too both are lovely names.

fifi sounds like your baby is doing a Sophie and teasing you major time. Hope things progress soon for you.

samzi - fingers crossed you will get started soon.

Doodles - fingers crossed your sweep works. Sounds good if they can feel her head already.

hann - happy anniversary to you too. Hope it wasn't too hot at the hairdressers and enjoy your dinner out this evening. That's terrible you can't get an appointment for MW. I must be very lucky I always seem to be able to get one no problem, quite often the first appt of the day as well.

BB - keeping my fingers crossed you won't need the sweep next monday.

Eve - hope saraya is better soon. Sorry you are having to entertain your FIL when you are tired.

Linds - lol at empty uterus. Must be fantastic not suffering from you SPD any more. wow at doing all that housework. Remember to rest though x

Claire - glad you are getting home today and niamh is doing well

mummyss - sorry you had a bad night last night with the heat.

amanda - glad you finally have seen someone who knows what they are talking about with your itching.

tor - think you asked about DS being on holiday already. Yep the schools in scotland finish at end june and are off for 8 weeks. We don't have a weeks holiday in May as they do in england so it gets loped onto the summer instead.

Wez - good luck hope something happens for you today.

BV - poor you with getting out of bed. I totally empathise. Hopefully not long now

afm - lazy day today. Picked mum up from garage as she is getting her car fixed and went into town to get a present for dad as its his birthday on 9th and I will be in hospital from 6th-8th. Came home had lunch took mum home and now chilling watching Cloudy with Meatballs with DS.
