March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

[rose.]

Oh no mrs chezek, sorry you're on bed rest! Hope the uti clears up soon, and like you say at least it's only 2 weeks until you're term fingers crossed the rest will help her to stay put for another 2 weeks.

Sethsmummy glad everything is looking a little better - sorry the gp was so insensitive though! I'm lucky that my gp (the one time I've seen her) was actually very nice, but my old one was horrible. Midwives are much nicer!

I'm not so fussed about the sessions on pain relief etc, I'm okay with those, I know what I want (G&A please!!) but it would still be nice to get a tour of the facilities again and get familiar with the surroundings and what is on offer, what the rules are about OH staying etc. I hate going into places without knowing what to expect - I have in my head what it was like last time but it would be nice to know if it was the same or not. I never actually went where we are due to go last time as my OH's Dad fell seriously ill, so we stayed at his parents house and kept his Mum company. Since we were doing daily visits to one hospital we transferred over to that maternity ward instead.

MrsChezek: Hope you can manage to stay in the bed so LO stays put! I can't imagine it being much fun but like you say, it's only for a short amount of time really

Sethsmummy, such a relief your bp went down and protien settled! Get some rest x


Rose, Lovely nursery!

My OH will be going back to his loved truck driving, 3 weeks after LO is born, so He will be home for only 3 nights a week BOOO
So Im not settling a nursery up, LO will be staying in my room until she is a bit bigger, maybe at a toddlers age lol

 

[katyblot]

Sethsmummy and mrschezek, thinking of u both, hope u manage to get some rest! X

Alfie will be in our room in a moses basket for a while too Sharn - it's funny how I'm nesting in the nursery when he wont even be using it for a few months if all goes to plan!! My OH works away during the week at the moment and I really miss him So I know how you feel!

 

[sportysgirl]

Mrs C, sorry you are on bed rest, but make sure you do rest and keep that baby in there a few more weeks!

Seths mummy glad all was ok when you went to the hospital, some GP's are so un caring.

Rose I love you nursery! If you like me then I bet you are always pop in there just to see it all!

I just got back from an NCT class, we are really enjoying them and learning lots.

Hope everyone else is ok.

 

[sharnw]

Mrschezek, thats really good, the brown discharge has eased up x

 

[iprettii]

So sorry you're on bed rest Mrs C. just think of it like this, this will probably be the only rest you'll get for a while so enjoy it.

 

[rose.]

Sportysgirl, I'm always sitting in there on my chair thinking about my little man coming along just can't wait!!

 

[paula181]

Totally unrelated to baby but I have just passed my driving test I am soooo happy that I did it before little man got here

 

[rose.]

Excellent well done Paula!! You're brave taking a test while pregnant - I remember I was so nervous about mine, my foot was shaking on the pedal haha. Will be excellent now you can drive for when your baby's here though

 

[anna1986]

well done paula!

OMG my hormones are driving me mad today was up crying at 4:45 and have spent the rest of the day in a mood. im so fed up of being pregnant feeling ill and my little man has decided to go quiet again but i feel such an idiot ringing the hospital for me to get there n all be fine. plus have no-one to watch DD!
think id hyped myself up so much for him to be born early like his sister that now im just feeling depressed hes not here. i know in reality he needs to stay in a bit longer but its not rationalising in my head at the moment.
feel sorry for my DD as am taking out my frustration out on her such a bad mummy

 

[paula181]

Thanks ladies, I was super nervous and was convinced I hadn't passed! I am made up as. Won't have to go on public transport with 2 kiddies!

Aww I am sorry that some of you are not feeling too well, and I hope that you feel better soon

Anna I'm sorry that you are feeling emotional your not the only one, its weird as I don't feel sad or anything but I just cry
Also little man doesn't move as often too, each day is different! He definitely doesn't move as much as he used too. But I think he's just running out of space and I think that's the same with your little one!
If your worried then I would speak to your midwife and see what she says, and I wouldn't be bad about ringing them they are there to help and reassure us. Also they say anything different to what we are used to then contact ASAP! I think you'll be able to take your DD, I took mine when I had a scan before.

Xx

Well done Paula

Anna: don't feel ridiculous, it's always better to er on the side of caution if your worried. I'm sure little man is fine, keeping you on your toes but you stressing wont help either. Hopefully you can relax, get your feet up and get him wiggling again so your at ease xx

Hi ladies,

i'm sorry to those of you having a hard time... i had my first emergency hospital visit today. Last night i was feeling off, not sick just 'off', i noticed my vision was getting a bit wonky and blurry (thought i got soap in my eye since i had just washed my face) i also had a headache that was not going away. At about 5 am i woke up with a worse headache, sweating a lot, and very blurry vision, i took a tylenol and drank a bottle of water, then went to sleep. I woke up feeling okay but still off and vision was still off, something just told me to check my blood pressure so on the way to work i stopped at the pharmacy and checked, sure enough it was 148/91 slightly high. I called my doc office and they said to go to hospital right away, so in tears i did. They hooked me up to machines, did blood work, and urine test. Baby's heartbeat was good and she was moving around all over. My results came back that i had protein in my urine but liver and kidneys were all good, so they are keeping an eye on me for pre-eclampsia. I'm at home now and just told to watch out for anymore vision issues or anything else. All in all i hope i never have to go back there again until i'm in labor, i waited for 6 hours there! they were insanely busy on the maternity ward so they could not even give me the results until a doctor was free to discuss them with me, it was very stressful

 

[Kte]

heavaneats: Sorry to hear about your stressful time and hope you get better so you don't have to go back in.

I'm sat on here hoping to get bubs moving again. They were fine and active yesterday but I have been up through the night and not felt them once. So I have drunk and insane abmount of water and wiggiling my bump but yet to no avail so I am freaking out a little. They usually give me a good wiggle when I am sat down at the computer at work so here is hoping. I'm really not liking this one bit

EDIT@ 6:45: I resourced to walking, bouncing on my birth ball and then lying down again. Thankfully there have been a few movements now, more moving about then kicks but it's certainly the the right kind. Absolutely shattered now and the alarm goes off soon for work

 

[anna1986]

heaveneats - glad alls ok.

kte - have you tried laying on your side?? id def be stressing out to but thats coz im a worrier. my little mans still pretty quiet i get the odd wriggle now n again. am thinking i may drop the hospital a call later as my mums about to watch my little girl so it could be the perfect oppourtunity to put my mind at rest!
hope your bubs starts wrigling around soon x

 

[Kte]

Thanks, I was all over! I was on my sides, then back, then sides again to try and get something. x

 

[Cherrybump]

hey ladies. Not long til you meet your little ones now. Just thought i'd drop in lol still reading away all your posts and try to keep up.

I know im like a week of from being in march but i really wish i was near the end now cant sleep through the night as good and this little miss love to stretch out and give me problems at work lol. her feet now up in the ribs area.

Will keep stalking away lol congrats to you all for when you little bundle arrives xxx

 

[rose.]

Heaveneats and kte, everything turned out ok in the end - hope you don't have any more scares!

Since Saturday I've had an upset stomach and no matter what I've done I haven't been able to get rid of it - now it's turned the opposite and I need to go but it's so difficult!! I hate my digestive system right now, I just want my old one back!!!
