Nomore go get some choccy my dear. best relaxant there is. We won't preach to you.
 
your gnna eat your baby bad mummy. wait til the sweet potato its a bit grim
 
honestly my birth plan last time was dont come near me with no needle full on numbing crap! but i was having 8 contractions every 10 mins and them thinking i was going to push any second and pop him out they looked very concerned when they said you can start pushing now darling "i dont have the urge at all!" lets have a look hmmmmmm 1.5cm hmmmmmmm i am going to very sternly suggest epidural to you kate do you agree dh: yes she does! lol

honestly people would go was it natural, no c section their faces awwwwwwww well errrrrrr nevermind hey - i had to go was it natural - no emergency c section baby almost died, 11lb 6onz, wasnt ever going to come out, induced coma 5 days, didnt hold very horrific, would never have been able to give bith naturally - and breath in . . . i wonder if i could have fitted that on a badge?

lol

i said that that women that she will always meet someone who has done it more naturally than you

i did it with gas and air
oh i didnt even use that
you were at the hospital i was at home
home i was in the driveway
concrete! i had a field!

lol of course i would have loved things to go to plan last time but they didnt - severely didnt - an i resent anyone who puts their opinon on other people!

i would never say to someone oh have an epidural oh have a c section if i am asked i will always say it was horrific but i was doing really well on gas and air before they realised that i was getting in trouble a bit you will never know how you will cope you might do fantastic on gas and air or you might want epidural just be flexible and dont feel bad about any decision you make!

Thats the thing isn't it - you really can't predict how your labour experience is going to go! I'm not one for making loads of plans, i've no idea how i'll be, so i want to be open to ideas. I'm not planning an epidural simply because i don't like the idea of one, but i've never experienced contractions, i've no idea how long i'll be in labour for etc etc so i want to stay open minded. :shrug: I don't like it when people get boastful of things they've acheived in labour 'I did it without an epidural, i only had gas & air' *scoff* Makes me angry that people would almost pity you for having to have had a c-sec! :dohh:So ridiculous isn't it!?


Haha, i've actually downright refused to let my mom be a birthing partner, i only want Joe in with me. Hes calm and collected, whereas my mom panics me and would wind me up like crazy. My parents already made up this 'hilarious' mockery of me giving birth, everytime i go round mom tells dad to 'do a gemma again' and he puts his arms up, wails and screams 'I CAN'T DO ITTT'. As much of a joke as they intend for it to be, it gets kinda boring, theres only so many times you can laugh at 'yourself', if you know what i mean. At first i felt like i'd prove to them that i can do it, but then i thought - prove what exactly?! Theres a babe inside of me, its got to come out one way or another, its not something you can 'fail' at!! :dohh: xx
 
Gem, yeah the feelings are normal. In my first pregnancy I had the worst period pains for 3 or 4 months and worried a lot until I found this forum. You are at the start of a special journey where bit by bit every part of your body changes shape and begins to hurt! ;)
 
And may stop working the way it used to read, pelvis, brain and bladder
 
ha ha i had my mum in there to calm me down, at the height of the whole contraction s and pain thing i went into my own little world and to help me concentrate i was shifting my feet, my mum came along and held them firmly down but because i couldnt stop my breathing to tell her to get the hell off i had to resort to kicking her really hard, she still didnt let go and actually went i think she is panicing! i had two breaths "GET" "OFF" lol lol lol lol

my advice is go with the flow and be flexible!

i want a kit kat! have none . . . must . . wait . . for dh . . . bringing . . home. . . paella . . .op crisps yum!

Hahah, yay for pain! :happydance:
 
For someone everyone feels the need to tell me horror stories about labour. When I say I'm looking forward to it they'll go 'Oh no...' and proceed to tell me about so and so who was in labour for 60 hours and was in SOOOO much pain.

Well no shit. I don't know why people are actually trying to scare me about the birth, it's ridiculous.
 
Well you've all heard my scary story but I hope the having also heard why I think it happened, how I think it could and should have been avoided and I hope getting to hear of a charming birth this time will show a much better side if it all.

I'm a bit cross as a mum whose child got GBS felt it was important to go to our homebirthing GBS support thread and tell us how we should all go to hospital and have antibiotics right away and it's a small price to pay. To me this is like telling a section mum it's no big deal to have a section again because of the 'risks' of a vbac or maybe a BF advocate going into the FF board to tell them all about the damage they're doing and what a small price it is to have bleeding nipples or whatever might be the reason they are FF. :growlmad:
 
Oh Peanut that's pants that woman felt the need to add that to your thread.

I think staying objective is quite difficult for some people and they loose sight of the fact that as women and prospective mothers we make the best decisions for our individual circumstance. None of the choices we make are considered lightly or frivolously.
 
I agree Gilz hon....some people should just learn to keep there opinions to thereself. I would always recommend a lady takes up a GTT because I know what `can` happen if GD in pregnancy is left undiagnosed but I would only ever recommend or share my story not push it down someones throat at the end of the day we all makes decisions which are best for ourselves for whatever reason that may be :thumbup:

PS AM STILL SHITTING MYSELF OVER THIS NEXT GTT ON THURSDAY :sad1:
 
Aw Madly hon :hugs: I'm sure everything will be ok, but also at least this pregnancy you know to push the issue if you still feels things aren't right.
 
:hugs: madly, bet you'll be fine!

See she sought us out to tell us to go to hospital, in the homebirth section! If she'd bothered reading any of the thread she would see that the info being shared is about the risks of all aspects of care choice including doing nothing, and things like obtaining antibiotics at home. In only the second post I say this is my intention should I gain a second risk factor of my waters being gone 18hrs again. She didn't even know she was a carrier and clearly doesn't know the half of risk factors or anything. A test at this stage in preg means nothing. Only a test at 35-37 weeks gives an indication of status during labour.
 
Madly remember it's just a nasty 3 hours of ya life, and its over eugh. I know gross they said I wouldn't have another one but not so sure. They just want to do random bloods.

Grrr Peanut whats wrong with people theres a sodding risk with everything, personally I wanna go hospital coz I feel safe andat home there, some people don't and they are best at home no point adding panic and upset to the mix of giving brth
 
Afternoon all:flower:

Madly i have my fingers crossed for you for thursday, hope you get the all clear:thumbup:

We have finally ordered the rest of baby B's furniture, chest of drawers,wardrobe,and bedside table, which will be delivered early next month.

Anyone else feel like they spend their life sat on the loo having a wee?:blush:

Does anyone else DH/ OH go to the pub fairly frequently, you know like on a friday night with one of his friends?, and if so, do you know if he'll still be going when your baby is here?.
Our arrangement will be that i do the night feeds durring the weekdays being as DH is driving all day for work(dont want him asleep at the wheel), then on weekends(fri&saturday night) he will take over the nightshift&let me sleep. But thinks he can still go to the pub of a fri night&return at 2am.
Ive told him this wont work, ive told him im not stopping him going, but he's going to have to go to the pub earlier(than 9pm which his friend wont like, but tough Sh*t)) and be back by the time im in bed(10.30-11) otherwise i'll still end up being up of a friday night.

well ive eaten beans on toast,an apple,1 custard cream and a pk of nickknacks, and im still ready for more!:shrug:
 
Umm matt don't but I have agreed he can go to a concert in July, that he can have another poker night but prob from Saturday afternoon rather than evening. and we go out together with his friends when heis off. Abby will either come with us or one of our babysitters will be on duty. He will be here 5 days every other week so its proba far evener spread as he works 7 night shifts a week
 
Me Madcat I'm constantly peeing it's ridiculous!!

On the pub thing it's not a subject we've broached yet as my OH is here so infrequently that he's hardly ever at the pub. If he still worked here and stayed at home I imagine it's a conversation we'd need to have.

I have a few friends who've had real issues with new dads not grasping that responsibility has to be shared. One of my friends actually walked into the pub one Sunday with her 4 month old daughter in the pram, gave her OH the changing bag and left. It was a pretty drastic step to take but it appeared to help. Hopefully it'll never come to that for any of us though.
