Hope you find someone to help Rhi - sounds awful

Rhi I had to have 2 root canals in the spring. Definitely not fun.

2 more days until my gender scan!

 

[mommyxofxone]

Finally got my 12 week scan today. Not looking forward to it though. My face still hurts. I'm sure I have some kind of infection either sinus or abcess but it hasn't gotten anymore swollen over the weekend. I have a nurse app this morning but I'm convinced because there is nothing to see they won't do anything. I can feel that it is swollen but it looks fine. So painful =(

good luck at your scan! do post photos so we can do the nub guess! i'm so sorry about your face, and yes antibiotics are definitely ok during pregnancy!!! i can't believe no one will help!

Can't wait to find out what you're having Geralyn! Maybe we will have the 1st blue bump? Or yet another pink!

Good luck with your scan Rhi, sorry about your face/mouth, sounds very painful

I also hated the overnight hospital stay. I'd given birth at 11am and by 10pm I was asking to go home with DH, I just wanted to be in my own bed and home. They wouldn't let me for some reason and it was horrible being on a ward with other women/babies, DS was really sleepy and didn't wake much but the baby on the next bed screamed the whole night and I had no sleep.

they don't give you your own rooms?! dd wouldn't sleep in the hosp unless i was holding her that first night (and the nights when we got home) so i didn't get much sleep at all. they finally came in and took her to the nursery for like 3 hours until the next feeding so i could get some sleep. i was totally exhausted. DH was sleeping happily on the little couch, and i was a mess. i had labored from midnight all night long until 830 am, was up all day and had visitors, that night she wanted just me. And he was f'ing sleeping! i was so mad! how is it that men always act like they need it worse than us?! we just pushed out a freaking baby, and they watched. I wonder who has it worse?!

but i labored and recovered in the same private room which i was so thankful for. And my dd was the only girl born in the few days before and that day we were there. kind of special. the nurses were so excited to see a girl lol

Thankfully we get private rooms in the hospital I'm delivering at.
I don't know if I posted my pic for nub guesses. What does everyone think? This is from Friday

 

[wishuwerehere]

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been posting much. Hope you are all well - exciting to see some genders popping up on the front page now!

I had a scan last week, everything is looking good, and my edd has been moved a couple of days to the 25th June.

 

[karlilay]

Lovely picture. I guess girl!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Still in massive amounts of pain. Gonna go back to the drs tomorrow and have a bitch fit I think.

Had my scan though and everything looks good. The images are appalling though. Can't believe they charged us for them. Not sure there is a nub to guess at. Uploaded them anyways.

 

[iakyri]

So many little pink bumps! Congrats everyone

I have a doctor's appointment today and I'm feeling so nervous!! I haven't heard the baby's heartbeat in so long, now, that I'm panicked something has gone wrong. Just 5 more hours!

ETA: I'm so sorry you're dealing with that pain, Rhi I hope you get something to help with the pain soon

 

[gaiagirl]

Good luck to all the ladies with scans this week! Sorry I haven't been on much.

Rhi I would make myself a thorn in everyone's side until I was assessed by a dentist or doctor. That sounds intense and an abscess can get ugly fast. Hope you find some help!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Have managed to get a new patient app at a nearby dentist! Didn't mention the potential abcess. I knew they wouldn't want to deal with it. As they only had initial appointments available
I'll just casually throw it in during the app. Lmao. That's not until four tomorrow.

Geralyn I think boy

Rhi I think girl

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Aw lovely pics Rhi, don't think I can see any nub so no idea!

:wave: wishuwerehere

mommyofone- Nope, no private room. For labour and birth obviously you get a private suite but after that you're onto a ward, the one's at my hospital have about 4 beds to a ward. That was the case for me anyway with a fairly normal birth/recovery and just 1 overnight stay, I think maybe in different circumstances there are private rooms available. x

Aw Rhi that sounds awful! Awful that nobody seems to care at the Dr s & dentist too Glad you finally got your scan and all.was well. I can't believe you pay though, 12 week pic is free here!

I can't remember who said they had emergency forceps with episiotomy - sounds similar to my delivery too. I didn't deal very well with the pain either and completely lost control and panicked. It was all so fast and I stayed home thinking I must be in early Labour, when I got to the hospital I was already 10cm and too late for any pain relief. Nearly 2 hours later though I had to have emergency forceps with episiotomy (got a lovely 3rd degree tear too) and had to go in to theatre after, so I was in hospital for 3 days. I'm hoping I have a straight forward delivery this time so I can go home same day. Last time I was lucky enough to get my own room because of an anxiety disorder but this time I feel I'll be able to go in the shared rooms if I do need to stay in.

My hospital have started offering a service where people can pay for a single room per night, so long as they aren't already in use by mums who really need it. I think it's about £80/night. Does anyone else have that at their hospital?

Geralyn my guess is

Congrats on the ladies who have already found out. Xx

That's the same for all nhs inpatient services, I believe. In my whole career I have yet to see anyone take it up yet. I thought it was at least double that though and on my unit we don't have enough cubicles for all the patients that need them so can't really offer them to others.

 

[Squig34]

Yep I was going to say I have no idea where I'm supposed to be looking to see a nub, or what it looks like...

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Geralyn and Angel I think boy. I don't know anything about nub, just a feeling looking at the scan pictures. Xx

Rhi, I'm not sure. I'll have to take another look. Glad to hear you managed a dentist appointment. They'll definitely help once they see you. Xx
