I was cheese and crackers.

Slimming world allows me to eat almost anything at all. But no cheese. Or crackers :dohh:
 
I can't stand eating apples. I've had 2 today
 
That's the thing I don't like about labouring in the hospital, the midwives make you do what they want. It was nothing like OBEM where the ladies get to choose to give birth on the stool or swinging from that funny swing thing. I was made to get on the bed on my back with my knees on my chest, everything I didn't want. It probably didn't help that I was in a blind panic when I got there and was in no position to speak up for myself. I hope it will be different this time xx
 
In the states midwives are very pro mama and into natural birth etc so they are more likely to let you labor how you want vs. a doctor
 
For some reason when I was eating dinner last night I made it through about half of it, just a chicken sandwich, and apparently it didn't sit well because I ended up losing it all. I've dry heaved a few times but this is only the second time I've actually thrown up. I felt awful because dd came in to check on me in the middle of my being sick and was just devastated and started crying really hard. I think she was just really scared for me, which made me feel even worse.

On the plus side I was somehow able to manage eating the rest of my dinner so I wouldn't starve and I kept it down. No idea what that was about though as up til now I'd been feeling better most of the time. Bleh.

They get used to it. :hugs: My son now shoves me out of the way of the toilet bowl when he needs a wee!
 
I've made friends with dry crackers today :haha: nothing unmanageable but definitely feeling green.

Just been for my booking in appointment and I'm waiting for my appointment with the trail team now. Had to park my car in a really busy car park. Next to another car! I felt sick lol.

Super jealous of all the fast labors! I think I was technically in labor for 16 hours or so. The last three of those the nurse said I never moved from a 9.5, which was absolute misery. I truly believe now she just did not have a clue what she was doing and I could have delivered much sooner. She was absolutely awful. I was determined to do it without pain meds, and I did! That's the plan for me again just wishing I could skip the three hours of misery this time. And the awful delivery nurse.

All I'm craving is basically every kind of sweet known to man! Ugh. I want them all, all the time. I'm going to be huge by the time this is all said and done :dohh:

i think my labor in the hospital was about 8 1/2 hours, but i'm convinced it would've been slower, but the midwife stretched me. terrible. and without my consent. i went in at midnight and she was born at 835. i definitely want natural again though. mostly cause i'm terrified of needles

Where are you located joo? over here my midwives let me do anything, and they encouraged me to get up and bounce on the ball or push on the toilet (seriously?) and use a bar or do anything to help get it moving. in the end i couldn't get off the bed.
 
Did u reverse in pixie?!? If not shame on you :haha: only joking lol. I remember after I passed my test I didn't reverse park anywhere for like 7 months. Pulling in forwards was just effort enough. They never really teach u the important stuff. Like driving the school run with two screaming children screaming in the back whilst a BMW drives up your ass. Haha
 
Haha I did reverse in! In terrified of reversing out. But I'd rather drive to very back and get a space I can drive into and out of :haha:
 
Crikey you're braver than me. Well done though! Keep going like that =) we basically have the smallest parking spaces in the world .... That's how I justify it to myself when I can't do it haha
 
1st midwife appointment tomorrow! It also happens to be on my husband's day off and on my son's nursery day so we can both go together and child free which has worked out well.

The gp sent off about a scan and said I should get a letter about it at some point, but I have no idea when. She also didn't ask me which hospital would be my first choice, which she should have done according to my leaflet? Really hoping it's the small local one x
 
Went to a different hospital tonight to visit my nan and I had to park between two cars! It was a corner space though so there was a lot of space. Still though - eek!

Booking in appointment went well. There are so many notes added about the trial and the red cell antibodies I have though :dohh: I felt like such a demic. I didn't get my green notes because she needed to load them.onto the system but when I got home she'd posted them through my door. What a lovely lady!

Appointment with the trial team went great too. It's a blind trial so there's no way to know if I'm taking the real drug but she really thinks Ai am :dance: she offered me some anti sickness drugs but I thought that was being a bit eager lol
 
I have my scan in a couple hours and I'm nervous all of a sudden. I haven't been nervous this whole time until now
 
Geralyn, how did your scan go?

My 2 labours were polar opposites. First baby was verdue, long and slow. I bled and vomited throughout and ended up having an assisted delivery due to baby getting stressed. Second baby was 3 weeks early, arrived within an hour of getting to hospital, 3 minutes after reaching 10cm and not even a paracetamol. He was a dream baby!

Sickness seems to have died off the last few days here, thank goodness but I have noticed oi can feel my uterus which is exciting. Has anyone else noticed theirs? I don't remember when I noticed it previously.

Hope you're all keeping well :)
 
I hope the scan went well Geralyn :hugs:

I'm so envious of all you guys having booking appointments! I can't wait to have one, right now DH and you guys are the only ones that know and I need them to confirm it's not all in my head :haha:

I'm glad the book appointment went well pixie :)
 
Looking forward to hearing Geralyn!

I am in Canada and midwives are fantastic here! Highly trained and regulated, but a very different experience than an OB/Gyn. I am using the same 3 midwives this time as last pregnancy. I had my son at home and plan to have this baby at home if all looks well by third tri.

My labour was 18 hours, 12 hours of early labour with contractions 3-5min apart and then 6 hours active including 90 min pushing! Exhausting. I had a pool I rented to help with pain relief and that was all. It was heavenly...compared to how I felt the one time I got out to pee. Yikes :nope:

I delivered in the pool, but I am not sure I will again. I felt like it took some control away from me both during and immediately after delivery so I may get out to push this time.

Yikes...I can't believe I am going through it again. My goal is 6-8 hours total this time. Lol. If only we got to choose.
 
Scan went well! Got to see the little bean. Heartbeat was 140. There was also another "something ". It looked like a sac. My sister said it could have been another baby that didn't form or a subcronic hematoma
 
I'm glad to hear the scan went well :flower:



So... we're due right at the end of June - possibly as late as 30th, DH's cousin is getting married in the first week of July nearly 4 hours away (we've had to book a room at the very pricey venue) I'm dreading dh telling his aunt who will no doubt hold a permanent grudge against us :dohh:
 
Glad your scan went well, Geralyn!

I'm anxious to get to the doctor again in two weeks to check on baby again (no scan, just checking heartbeat).
