Wiggler sounds like your having a nightmare time.

new you want the blue wrapped lindtt if you like the bunny.
 
well we're heading to the hospital since I might be leaking amniotic fluid...
Basically I went to the bathroom, the bleeding was almost gone (whew) but when I pushed, it felt like I peed a little out of my vagina.. lol..
Anyway, with the bleeding having been so watery, we just want to get checked to be sure.

Of course they'll admit me if it is amniotic fluid and I'll get put on antibiotics and they'll start to push pitocin on me... so I'm sort of hoping its not (though if it was, then we could get this show on the road I guess).
 
Congrats, Meow! Just saw that you're baby # 15.

Happy Mothers' Day to the US ladies!
not sure when UK mothers' day is, but I know it's not the same- have a great Sunday!
 
Good luck, lisa!

What about the Canadian Mommy? Shouldn't she have a Happy Mother's Day? Humph!

OH MY GOD MY POOR NIPPLES!!!

Anberlin has a perfect latch but she has her days and nights mixed up and she's a freaking baracuda baby. Both of my nipples have large gashes across the centre of them and it friggin hurts when she latches on. I dread her latching on. To make matters worse, my milk came in but she doesn't take enough to empty my breasts yet. Usually this is a problem easily solved by pumping after, but pumping just makes the gashes worse, and it doesn't look too pretty when you're pumping out pure blood to start and then the milk ends up neon orange in the end. I know it won't hurt her to have the milk with the little bit of blood in it, but it makes me squeamish to know I'd be storing blood-tinged breast milk. She won't take a bottle..at all, so my poor nipples don't get a rest and I know I can't avoid her taking blood at that time. I just hope they heal quickly.

Hope everyone is well!
 
Oh yeah, our government sent us this census survey to fill out, so I did. One of the questions wanted to know what language we all spoke...Anberlin included. The options were: English Only, French Only, Both English and French, and Other Official Language.

Hmmm...and they want to know what language a 4 day old baby speaks? I couldn't help but laugh.
 
Glad you're home 24/7 & everything goes ok at your appointment!
I'm so sorry Wiggler i've never come accross such nasty people as how u describe them ughhhh they make me shudder!
Hopeful & Brandi do u have any nipple cream Lasinoh is fab but not sure they do it over there?

I'm gonna get an early night just incase anything happens but it's not so far just crampy from the examination i think :(

My hubby keeps asking if there's any signs as he really doesn't wanna go to work tomoro kinda starting to feel like i'm letting everyone down they r all waiting :(

Good luck Lisa i feel our next May Blossom on it's way from u hun all the best x
 
Oops, just put the panic on the entire family :rofl: Ok so fidget has been totally motionless today, but I have been pretty active so thought it was just that. Then after ice lollies, dinner, laying down, rest still nothing I rang my community midwife, who happened to be passing but couldnt find fidget on the doppler (not unusual he finds the best hiding spots!) So up to the ward I was sent, all happened in about 15 minutes. They couldnt find him at first, then there he was snug as a bug. I was on the monitor for 30 minutes and no movement, so made to sit up and drink, no movement, so force fed biscuits and 10 minutes later away he went with the party lol I was told Im not eating enough and my calorie intake is totally not suitable for this late stage of pregnancy (proper row off midwife and a doctor! oops) However while all this was going on I had no idea my phone (in Joshuas pocket) was ringing my mum in Majorca, and my sister. My mum was then texting like mad checking why I rang, my sister actually answered, and could here midwife and the baby monitor but I wasnt talking (obviously lol) so she ended up ringing the hospital for an update, then texting my mum with updates lol So then I got a row for not telling them I was going in arghh nightmare. Im home now, with a prescription for sweet treats least once a day pmsl oh and I need a full check and monitor on Tuesday before induction as if he is still quiet and unresponsive they may not be able to do the induction (didnt tell my mum that bit, just that we were home and perfectly ok!). That was a crazy 2 hours lol But I did pick up some chocolate on the way home lol
 
I do have some Lansinoh. I was reluctant to get some because the same thing happened with Isaiah and he wouldn't latch if there was a hint of Lansinoh. Thankfully, I don't have that issue with Anberlin.
 
Oh new, what are fidget and Sam up to at the moment?! :hugs: xx
 
Thinks this is all my fault not his! But I have eaten ok today, honest I have! They want me to eat about 2500 calories a day, I cant do that, I will literally be sick on that much food and that would surely be worse! I will try harder though, clearly fidget needs me too. Hope you're resting hun :hugs:
 
Feet up, but feeling very frazzled and emotional, I really don't want to be induced and because I'm so flappy I don't know how I will keep my BP down tomorrow. :(

Could you eat more snacks new? Like picnic type food? :p xx
 
Thats what midwife said, she said munch on some snack foods between meals it wont feel as much, but then i wont want my main meals. Will give it a try.

try not to worry about the induction hun, if you need one then its a necessary step in seeing sam, they wouldnt do it otherwise, and means you get to meet your ittle fella :) had your BP dropped for you to come home?
 
It dropped abit after I got my bloods back and they said I could go home!! :p the MW doing them at first was abit abrupt and giving worst case scenario, then my nice doctor, the young boy popped up and all was fixed. :D Well enough to go home anyway!! I'm just very nervous and don't know what to expect with induction, and am very worried about OH leaving me there by myself, I'm not really a coper!!

Maybe just snack and not big meals, you could still fit all the calories in. xx
 
Why will OH leave you hun? He should be able to stay with you the whole time. Is there anyone else you can have with you if you are induced if OH cant be there? All your other results were ok hun, so really it should be ok :hugs:
 
If I'm not on labour ward, and in the induction bit he can only be there during visiting times, and often they start things off in the evening and leave you overnight here. :( I can't even get enough phone signal there to send a text, let alone anything else. :( xx
