I am the opposite to a lot of you. I had both my kids as soon as I got to the hospital with no pain relief. With Madi i stayed in over night but when I had Zach they discharged me two hours later and it was a bit of a culture shock to be honest. One minute I was having a baby, next I was putting my 2 year old to bed.

The lack of control and quick births actually scared me and I've got a pretty bad phobia of giving birth now. I suffer from anxiety anyway but I am literally petrified.

This time I would like an epidural, and the I would quite like to stay in for a while or even over night. I would love the time just me and the baby to bond. :)
 
Here you have to stay at the hospital 2 nights for a vaginal birth and 3 nights for a c section
 
Unless no pain meds then you go home after one night. Eeeeeeek geralyn you find out so soon! Do you have an instinct on what it is?
 
I stayed in one night after a vaginal birth with pethidine and gas and air only. One was more than long enough IMO, I had no sleep and midwives couldn't make up their minds about cosleeping (one put him in my bed and showed me how to feed him to sleep on my side.. Then another snatched him away and gave me a SIDs lecture!!) And I had to leave him in a room with a bunch of other babies and very scant supervision while I had breakfast and wasn't allowed to leave until I'd eaten! This time I'll turn down a stay in hospital if they let me. Besides I will miss Micah.
 
Yeah the hospital I will deliver has women stay 2 nights for vaginal and 3 nights for csection. I'm registering for the hospital this week! I was suppose to do it last week but forgot; sending the paperwork tomorrow!
 
Wow that's mental. Both my sisters were discharged about 3 hrs after a natural birth, and it's standard to only stay 1 night for a section.
 
I stayed 2 nights - 1st due to the type of birth and the second because I was struggling with breastfeeding. I have to say staying that second night was the best thing I could have done. I suddenly clicked with breastfeeding - if I'd gone home I think I'd have given up - I really wanted to breastfeed.

I have a strong girl feeling. I had a strong boy feeling with my son so we'll see if I'm right again
 
I had DS at 10.33pm I had to stay in overnight I went hope the next afternoon after all checks, hoping this time I can go ahead with home birth and be at home

GL for your scan Geralyn!
 
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 =(
 
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 wouldn't do anything for my face because I'm pregnant. So I'm supposed to sit around and die from some infection that will eventually eat my face ?! Lmao surely it will just get worse though with no treatment. Ughhhshjdjd.
 
Phone the dentist Rhi! I had an abcess a few weeks ago, and my doctors gave me antibiotics over the phone!
 
Good luck Rhi!

I'm sure they can give you something if your in a lot of pain I had a abscess when pregnant with DS and had antibiotics ones that were ok in pregnancy
 
Rhi, that sounds horrible! I hope you find relief soon.

3 weeks until our anatomy scan. I feel like it's do far away. I'm having a lot if anxiety wondering if baby is ok. We heard heart best Thursday but I tripped later that day and put my leg out to catch myself; my torso went forward into my thigh. Could this have squished baby?
 
My dentist took me off his books. I rang the nhs "emergency" dentist. I have to ring back tomorrow at 8am and they will "maybe" see me if they have spaces. OMG the pain is so bad ATM I fear I could pass out. I was near enough crying in the drs office but no one seems to care =(
 
That's awful Rhi. Try taking some paracetamol in the meantime maybe to get some relief. I had an infected tooth a couple of years ago & it was agony - I didn't realise in time that it was an infection & it had about 4 or 5 days to bed in before I got treated as I was away over the weekend. Good luck with your scan!
 
Rhi you need to ring the doctors back. Infected teeth are dangerous. The infection can get into your blood stream and to your baby.

I had ibuprofen a couple of times this oregnancy with my abcess, the pain is horrendous. And worse than labour.

So excited to hear from Geralyn.
