Madcat - good work on the HIP! Glad all was well at your appointment.

vbaby I've been damp today too. It's always worse when I'm busy at work out and about, just when I'd rather not be!

Madly - good luck with the grievance stuff, I'm sure you're doing the right thing.

Gilz - I know I BF but when we did get formula we initially tried Aptimil because that's what the health practitioner brought to us when Byron was jaundiced and not feeding but Byron didn't like it. Then I discovered they all have fish oil in and that the only one without (not veggie because of the whey but that's not so bad, we eat cheese) was SMA so we tried that and as it happened he preferred it. Only ever bought two tins though.

Sofie - sorry you had a dizzy spell but for free cake!

You know I don't have a growth chart in my notes. I thought it was odd I hadn't had one. Wonder why not?

Oh, cream eggs! Yum!

Is 3rd tri 27 weeks? If so I might move over at 26+1.

On the One Born Every Minute I only felt sorry for the screaming woman. The MWs should've been encouraging active labour. At one point someone, I think her OH, rolled her back on to her back when she tried to lie on her side! Being on your back is the most painful way to be. Pretty sure I didn't scream like that, moaned a lot, probably loudly, but not screamed. It's just different for everyone. I thought she was brave to agree for it to be on TV, I know I wouldn't. And the other couple, Janet and Ralph, Janet is on BnB, xxprincessxx or something like that. Remember he's just a teen dad.

Nomore - how come you won't be having a proper labour?

 

[sequeena]

Oh no Hope everything works out ok x

 

[tas1]

Oh no thats horrible Molly! Hope your friend and baby will be ok im sure they will x

Also i screamed in my labour with Caden but not when i was pushing as your pushing that hard,i did swear alot but apologised afterwards coz im not normally like that,i think i told my partner i hated him for doing this to me lol what am i gonna say this time lol best keep sharp things away from me in labour lol

xx

And as for me. Well my training was good as it usually is and I got a nice lift home. They had ok food at lunch this time but I got full really fast then soon after was really really ill! Not tum... Was totally out of the blue but had a queue outside my toilet! Stupid public toilets. Fortunately they weren't from my course. How ashamed? Then I was fine again and ate some cake.

Came home and did a bunch of emails. Why did all the important stuff come today when I wasn't around to deal with it after like two months of nothing happening? Bit stressed about completing things on time, though it's not like I'll get any kind of appraisal or pay rise anyway so probably shouldn't worry if I don't meet my deadlines.

Byron had a mad tantrum tonight, never seen him anything like it before. It was from literally nothing too. He asked for a cup of milk so DH popped some in the microwave to warm and Byron ran away screaming and just went mental! After trying leaving him to cry it for ages he just wasn't stopping so I took the opposite tack of holding him in a tight hug and eventually after a couple of false starts he calmed down. He had a big sleep at nursery too. Bit odd.

Tomorrow is aquanatal, assuming I actually get to go; trying to get fils off my laptop before hopefully sending it back somewhere; then a meeting in Newcastle so a long afternoon and night driving.

Sadly it was his personality I wasn't to keen on. The teen dads are usually very good and are either very useful or sit quiety looking petrified in a corner. Matts not actually keen on being there at the birth, I'm a little sad about this and of course have no idea why. he shares nothing.

I'm sure he will be fine, poor girl only found out 2 weeks ago that she was carrying to much water and doc said she wouldn't make it to 39 weeks. She really wnated to go to 40.
I think 3rd tri 27 weks do we have a 3rd Tri thread? I'v not ventured to 2nd or 3rd our experience is enough for me. plus I was part of another chat thread and am in contact with all the other mums there

 

[PeanutBean]

This thread is just in groups so covers any tri molly.

What's the crack with the too much water? How much is too much? How did they know? Sorry if I missed it but did she have a section? See I had sooo much water. They thought I had an 8lb baby but he was only 6lb12. I'm sure that's why I went early but there were no complications for Byron. What's happen to complicate things for this baby?

 

[tas1]

I read a pregnancy magazine the other day anf 25 wks is 3rd trimester so i have said im in 3rd coz its the last stretch and doesnt sounds so long now lol!

I havent watched one born every minute yet,i recorded it because i was watching Glee (sad i know but i am a Gleek lol) But really wanna watch it just gotta get my OH off his football game....actually he has gone out for a fag so might just turn it off lol

How is everyone doing so far,i havent asked you ladies for ages? x

 

[molly85]

ummm it was from an ultrasound they saw, she had a scan to see which way up he was. its something to do with his breathing tubes i think hes a good size. and doesn't look new born.

 

[molly85]

ohhh love glee.
I cnt tell if i have heart burn or breathing issues my chest is very heavy

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

my boy was 11lb 6onz at birth they had to make my incision a bit bigger than normal to get him out also i am pretty much mentally and emotionally traumitised by what happened after the birth, i had geared myself up for being up for vbac but my friend had her baby in the same ward, she had almost the exact team of midwives i did - they left her in strong active labour for three days lke they did me - but most all all the midwives at our hospital are renouned for being really really poor and it isnt just down to being overstretched, my son poo'd in me and i said i think something has just come out of me, my mum went thats meconium her baby is in distress, the student midwife walked over and went hmmm dunno, called over the "fully trained midwife" who went hmmm dunno took her ten mins to figure out it was in fact meconium and left me for another 20 mins past that to discuss this with other people so for 30 mins by baby was definately in distress not to mention the fact that i was already hooked up to machines that would have shown that he was in distress before this point - the fully qualified one was bumbling round my friend a couple of months back - my son almost died and me and my dh are still traumitised from everything - him actually worse than me

felt so unsafe round there, when the surgeon came in and said i am so sorry i know this is totally against your birth plan but you have to have a csection i smiled, why are you suddenly smiling he asks me, i said get me the hell out of here!

i felt so safe in their hands and so glad to be out of the hands of people who obviously had no clue! fancy my mum knowing what it was in a split second but the trained midwife took ten mins and discussed it for another 20! - its not like it looks like an adult turd or anything! thing is it is kind of the best of the worst hospitals and home birth is obviously not an option lol

luckily none of you seem to live near me, and to be honest it is unusual for such a big baby to slip through the net but still, the same people are still there so i am incredibly reluctant to put me and this baby in there with them i always thought i would want vbac but am really siding no not this time! think i need to do more research lol

 

[PeanutBean]

nomore. Are you going to a different hospital this time? You should take it up with the Supervisor of Midwives, that's what I've been recommended to do by one of the community midwives. I'm going to arrange a debrief so we can look at where it went wrong.

 

[molly85]

where are you nomore? i'll try and not visit till abbys here?

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

i am in the south but not in the same county as you so dont worry lol nah its the best of the worst and i know if i do make the decison to have repeat c section then that hospital has the very very best team in several counties so . . . . . grrrr i hate being one of those people who is very close to refusing vbac but . . . . .

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

My story is very similar to NOMORES except I didnt have the c-sec in the end...me and Oliver `slipped through the net too` and David is still more traumitised about it all than me although I have definate scars Am shitting myself about my GTT next week infact I partly would rather they say that I have GD than not because at least then I know I get the proper support. I am more worried about the GTT than all the issues surrounding it or not iykwim than all this crap with work cause it seems insiqnificant in comparision I keep telling myself I have a lovely 4d scan two days later so no matter what result I have that to look forward too

Molly so sorry to hear about your friend I hope her little man is ok!

Ladies my bump buddy is currently in hospital been checked out because after losing most of her mucus plug over the weekend she has started with pains. Last communication was 7.30pm and I am awaiting any update but she said she didnt feel right and knew something was wrong Please pray for her and her little man she is just 32+1wks

 

[PeanutBean]

Lianne? Oh I hope she's ok...

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

I want to watch one born every minute now you Ladies have me intrigued but David is too chicken I reckon its more to do with ^^ Olivers birth than anything else I only hope this time is better for us all

As for screaming mine was more of a `clamp your teeth around the gas&air pipe and bite` sort of inward groan/grunt The gas&air pipe attachment had so many teeth marks in it you wouldnt believe

 

[gilz82]

Oh I hope everything turns out ok Madly I know 32wks is early but her baby has a really good chance at that age, trust me I've been well prepared on the topic incase our little man appears at that stage too.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Lianne? Oh I hope she's ok...

yes hon

Doesnt sound like great news I think it may be labour, shes been here before she has tyler so I would say you know when your in labour esp if you`ve already been there Am so worried about her.....I hope she or chris contacts me soon. At least am not working tomorrow I would spend all day worrying

I called in sick to my boss earlier....I just dont feel up to it right now I spent some time this evening consoling my mum as her world falls apart...long story but I have so much to deal with right now work is the last thing on my mind My boss says he will arrange a meet to discuss my grievance but I am going to contact my MW tomorrow and run how I feel past her as I keep getting dizzy spells which I thought was to do with UTI but its not getting any better so am thinking anaemia or maybe my GTT will show GD Also could just be run down I suppose I funnily enough dont feel stressed more busy iykwim!

Oh and am def going on mat leave on 26th Feb infact David is encouraging me to do so now Must ask MW for MATB1 too when I speak to her tomorrow

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

aw i hope she is ok madly!

i am hoping that i dont have it this time but i know i am going to be at high risk of having it again xkx

got my fingers crossed for you that everything is fine hun xkx

 

[NOMORENUMBERS]

aw madly so glad you are getting your mat leave sorted! to be honest i wish i had taken a few sick days here and there last time round lol would have avoided some conflict lol

thing is with me my sugar levels were not high enough to be in the guidlines but i was obviously still affected very very very highly by sugar and so was leo . . . i think i am going to have to put my game face on prior to any medical meetings lol, what do we pregnant ladies that cant really devour a tub of ice cream (or obviously alcohol )have for dutch corage lol

how scary for your friend, i really hope everything works out well for her poor thing!
