Knocked Up Naughties

[Mum2bewaiting]

she is nice, lovely in fact, this is probably going to sound odd, but am desperately tryign not to google, but I asked her about the stats for recurrent mc (I guess it is me needing the evidence base to work with ) but she swiftly changed the subject, but the GP and CNS at the EPU did the same...
... there also seems a lot of confusion about the opening hours of EPAU, I was told there that they were open to calls 24/7 from me but the mw told me that if I was concerned out of hours that I would have to go through A&E again...

 

[topazicatzbet]

you can ring the epu 24/7 hun, but when no one is there it is transfered through to one of the wards and they deal with it.

i did it out of hours when my friend had her bleed and arranged a scan for her.

 

[Mum2bewaiting]

if u know that, I know that WHY doesn't the MW??????

 

[topazicatzbet]

god knows, my midwife had to ring round all her collegues yest to find out what to do about by episiotomy breaking down.

i have to say its a different world to nursing.

you ll apreciate this one. i had a venflon in for 48 hrs and it wasnt one vip scored or dated, id have ben hung drawn and quartered on my ward for that.

 

[Mum2bewaiting]

ur alright, mine was never flushed or sani wiped between infusions, come to that all 3 were never dated, I had a perfectly adequate one in from A&E and the dr decided to put a big f*** off grey one in that was never used!!!! A completely different world!! lol

Seems like everyone is doing pretty well at the mo. Wonder how Meemee's getting on.

im still here! still in one piece unfortunately, think i might go for a walk around town today and try to get things going. feel as though ive tried everything now and buby's just not wanting to go anywhere!
ever get the feeling you're going to be pregnant forever?
ive got that all the time at the moment, picturing myself at 60 with a big wriggly belly is not attractive

good to see everyone else is going well!

i've not tried anything really yet to bring on labour. everywhere is thick with snow and more heavy snow is forecast for my area tonight and tomorrow night so i'm hoping he stays in until at least his due date now. the roads are so icy. i had to go out to get a bit of shopping today and the car was slipping all over the road. scary! i have a midwife appointment tomorrow which i have to go to becasue i've not been for 3 weeks and they are meant to see you every week at the end. i really hope it doesn't get cancelled because i will start worrying.

 

[samzi]

this weather is a nightmare isnt it!

 

[Freyasmum]

I have to say, the weather there does look pretty awful... although very pretty too!
I feel a bit bad for all the complaining I've been doing about the wind. (it is VERY windy though )

At least I can leave the house without fearing for my life!! Although I guess there is always the danger I'll get blown away

 

[topazicatzbet]

i hate this snow, my car wheels are frozen solid so i ve no hope of going home yet, i had a melt down on wed cos i couldnt get over to see to the cats, i was in floods of tears but thankfull my dad managed to get there after he finished work.

might not be a bad thing though cos i had a bad night last night with callum, i ve been expressing and bottle feeding him so i know how much he is getting but yest i bf him during the day, big mistake as i dont think he took enough and come bed time he was beside himself. he was screaming and hitting me and thats how he was all night. now i ve got a few expressed feeds down him and he has filled 4 napies in the space of 1 hr he has settled. so im going back to expressing and feeding.

 

[Mum2bewaiting]

Beth, give it time, u both need to get settled, I forgot to ask yesterday how the ound was getting on, hope she managed to sort it and u are more comfortable today

 

[flowertot]

hi ladies.

I've been in a car accident, well two actually! LO is totally fine but i'm very shaken and have a splitting headache and sore back. i was on my way to my midwife appointment (which i would have cancelled if it hadn't been 3 weeks since last appointment). i was driving slowly to a junction but when i put my foot on the brake the car just slid into the back of a van. anyway the driver got out and i burst into tears saying sorry to him but he just saw my bump and was more concerned about me. there was no damage to his van but my front number plate had fallen off so he picked it up and said to follow him to the co-op car park which was across the road just to check i was ok. he said he wouldn't be claiming against me as him and his van were fine. anyway as we were waiting for the traffic light to turn green another car smashed straight into the back of me, sending me into the back of the van again!! after this point i was really upset as the second bump was a lot harder and i was thrown forward then backwards and banged my head. more damaged was caused to the front of my car plus now damage to the back. my car is going to need a new front and back bumper. luckily there was still no damage to the Van after the second hit (must be a tough van!)

anyway arrived at the midwife appointment half an hour late sobbing saying i'd been in a crash and they took me straigth through. LO heartrate was totally normal and there were no signs of distress but my BP was through the roof! Midwife said this was understandable in the circumstances and said it will gradually come back down as i relax so all is well on that front.

On a happier note LO has gone from being fixed at brim at 35+6 to fully engaged today at 38+6 wonder if all the stress with start me off!

Sorry for the long post.

 

[samzi]

erk, not good, but glad you and baby are ok

 

[topazicatzbet]

oh flower how awefull for you. so glad you werent hurt though and that al is well with LO.

i hated driving in the snow before callum arived, i was so nervous of crashing. then the other day i had to go out in car with him and as so nervous with having him in the car, i ended up skidding in the car.

hope this snow bogs off soon.

 

[Mum2bewaiting]

flower, one way to attempt to get things moving I guess, but am glad ur both ok

 

[topazicatzbet]

had a reasonable night last night so the other night must have been because he was hungry.
my electric pump has broken though so im gonna have to take it back, not easy in this snow. thank goodness i have the manual pump.

 

[Mork]

aw flowertot, how awful Make sure you relax for the rest of the day. xx

 

[msmith]

Oh Flowertot, how scary. It was lucky you were going to the midwife and she could reassure that all is well with LO. Also great to here LO is fully engaged-hopefully not long to go until another naughty arrival.

Beth, glad you had a better night last night with Callum. Just out of curiosity which breast pumps have you bought?

I think we are in store for more snow which I am really not looking forward to. With such a precious load it is scary driving when you don't have much control.

One more week at work until maternity leave- Really looking forward to some afternoon napping! I feel like I have exploded in the last few weeks and my pelvis is starting to ache. I'm not going to complain though as up to now I have had a great pregnancy and it is the final leg.

Hope you are all well and have a lovely weekend.

 

[samzi]

morning all, or i should say afternoon really!!

hope everyone is okay x

 

[topazicatzbet]

i ve got the tommee tippee close to nature one as thats also the bottles that i have.
mothercare have exchanged the pump so my hand can have a rest tonight.

i def prefer to express as i know how much he is taking, kinder on the nipples too, and at least he is still getting breast milk.
