Sepsis is an infection but different because most infections are viral and/or relatively mild. Sepsis is a severe infection caused when another infection progress so much that the body's other systems are also compromised. It is pretty high on the urgency list in adults medically but also something commonly seen in hospital and treatable so I think medical professionals become desensitised to it a bit. The public have recently seen lots on the media about it recently too so are a little over sensitive to it. Combining those two emotional responses imo can't lead to anything good.

I'm shocked they only had one pump. Even SCBU had two and there were only 8 cots (and no adult inpatients on the unit).
 
We were in for 13 days but the last 3 were just to establish feeding. She'd been on oxygen and had a glucose drip and an NG tube but everything else had resolved itself by the time she finished her antibiotics on day 10.

How are you feeling in yourself hun? Those days we spent in hospital were so so hard, especially with another little one at home :hugs: I so hope it's almost over for you :hugs:

Oh! Not sure if I'd mentioned this or not. The neonatal outreach team signed Georgia off on Tuesday. She is officially a well baby :dance:

Contractions fizzled out overnight but feel like they're starting up again now so we'll see what happens.
Mum22ttc you sound in a similar situation to me - hopefully our babies are on the way.

I hope so to. I've never had this with my others, have just gone into labour and a couple of hours later given birth.
I'm getting period type of pains at the moment and a braxton hick here or there. :)
 
Tinky & mum22ttc#3 - I hope things get moving for you again soon!

Angel - I hope the infection clears up soon so you can go home :hugs:

Pixie - That's fantastic news! :dance:

Starlight - we used aptamil with ds so are just using that again as we never had any problems with it.

Two days till father's day, it' starting to look like we'll be able to go to the restaurant after all! :D

Yay for Georgia being officially well! She certainly looks it in her pictures, beautiful and so alert! I can't believe she isn't even due yet!

I am struggling with being here, I miss Micah so much, but he doesn't like coming here. He visits most days but he acts up for my attention and usually Dave ends up taking him off to play somewhere or ha e a walk. He loves Juni though, and did hold her the other day!

I think feeding/weight may keep us here longer too, CRP was 7 yesterday and they want it below 4 which could happen today or tomorrow, but her weight gain is not good. I feel like we would do so much better at home! :dohh:

Her breathing is still often on the high end if normal (55-60) and she has funny patterns where she breathes faster and deeper for a few seconds then pauses then back to normal, but the doctor who does her observations was happy with her and my midwife said that just might be normal for her. :/

Dory - that makes sense, thank you. :hugs:
 
I've just rung maternity day care and am going in in half an hour as have only had a few movements in the last three hours.
Have also had 3 braxton hicks/ contractions in the last 30 minutes so hopefully they'll be able to tell me more :)
 
Angel, i'M glad you've come to a decision that's right for you. Pumping is hard & time consuming; hopefully you'll find a great benefit to leaving it out. I still have to pump although I was shown yesterday how to use the nipple shields but I can't get Róise to latch by myself. She's getting her tongue tie snipped today after all (£60 it's costing me!!) so hopefully that will help.

Starlight, we're using Aptamil too.

Pixie, great news! :happydance:

Good luck Tinky & mumttc!
 
Good luck Tinky and mum!

Sending well wishes Angel.

I had to sleep sat up last night due to crippling indigestion. Every time I lay down I started vomiting stomach acid and nothing was helping. I've been getting backache again but can't tell if I'm tightening or not so it is probably just his position.
 
Hope all is well mum22ttc - keep us updated.

Nada going on here! Some period pains and the occasional cramp and a blood streaked mucousy discharge. Hopefully it's close though as have been feeling nauseous and shivery on and off like I was in labour last time.
 
I couldn't get back to sleep at all this morning after i was woken up by period pains, blimey they were awful, my stupid amount of stop start symptoms have become something of a joke now. my husband left for work and said sarcastically "hey let us know if the baby comes hahaha" What an arse :haha:

I'm not getting excited for anything short of a bloody show at this point, as i have had everything else on and off for weeks!

Well there is a full moon on Monday, lets see if that old wives tale works out eh :haha:

Hope everything is okay Mum22ttc.
 
bh contractions timeable since yesterday afternoon- i know i had them during the night as well. felt dreadfully uncomfortable everytime ihad to pee :(

next appt today at 230 i swear if i hear no change someone is getting punched. going to ask for a sweep too most likely. I'm just so done with the start stop contractions and the spd and i'm ready to meet my boy.


BH started right up again this am too, which is great, usually he makes me wait a bit and then they start. it's like they never stopped from last night. Trying not to get too hopeful over here.
 
Rhi - I forgot about the full moon :haha: hopefully it will work some magic on the ladies in this group!

Mommy - I hope a sweep gets things moving!



afm - any symptom is put down to my irritable uterus by the midwives, it's certainly living up the irritating bit of it's name :haha:
 
Is your show always tinged with blood or can it be milky in colour? Sorry if tmi but what I had appear in a blob the other day was purely white/milky and today when wiping I've had more of the same stuff, lots of little dots of it. It is definitely like snot and very disgusting, just not streaked like I was expecting. I've also been having deep throbbing pains at the bottom of my back. I think I may just be getting desperate lol :haha:
 
Hopefully you ladies are progressing towards labor!

I wish I could pump. I gave up because it's not worth sitting at the pump for thirty mins just to get 10 ml. I'm really upset that the pump doesn't work for me.

I've never heard of some if those formula brands, I'm thinking some are only in the uk?

Geralyn, we have been using Enfamil Newborn because our pediatrician recommended it. Did you ever try Enfamil with your son? We are thinking about trying out Similac if the Enfamil gentle formula doesn't work. I can't stand to see my baby in discomfort from gas!

Lavo, I think my mucus plus was sometimes clear/milky when it came out.
 
Baby didn't stop moving as soon as I was hooked up to the monitor, I knew it would happen.
It did measure 3 contractions in that time though ranging from 65-85. I was discharged after the 30 minutes and just told to keep an eye. Theyre still every 10 minutes and definitely more painful than my regular braxton hicks. Just hoping they won't amount to nothing now :)
 
Lav - Most of the pics I've seen of mucus plug are opaque and snot like, so just like what you describe.


So glad it's friday! weekend weekend weekend!!! :dance:

This is only the second out of five that I've even had a show, before it's just been normal discharge like you did robe. Along with the braxton hicks/contractions that I've been having I've been having back ache too so that could defiently be a good sign :)
