November Mummy's - It's nearly time

[Tootsie]

I was more at the nearly £4 for a sandwich thinking i'm gonna get some bits on Thuirsday when i pop into tesco's so i can just store them in the boot of the car and then stash them in me bedside cabinet after i get settled coz OH isn't getting fed by the hospital even though he can be there all day

MrsP- you will prob be like a kid at christmas in the morning!! It must be nice to have been given a date to work to, like a deadline!! I keep doing all my blitzing thinking it will be my last chance and then a couple of days later im up and down the stairs with hoover and duster in hand thinking well maybe this time will be the last time before labour!!!!!
Is your hubby excited??
Just thinking this time tomo u may have ur little baby in your arms..... OOooooo im excited for you!!!!
Will be stalking the threads tomo for your updates!!

I make you right that is terrible £4?!?! Bloody rip off, that and the car parking charges. I said to Si pay for a couple of hours and then move it over to mothercare world car park as it is free.

 

[Tootsie]

Only thing you ahve to worry about is there's a guy patrolling mothercare, and pets at home and ticketing cars staying too long. I think the Ice rink allows you to park in there for a £4 fee. but i was gonna ask in the hospital tomorrow myself for confirmation on that. If not just tell him to move the car round the carpark about lunchtime as it gets empty then for an hour

Parking is £1.60 for up to 3 hours, £3.10 for 3 to 6 hours and £15.00 for over 6 hours so might be worth just moving it after 5 and a half hours

You already and sorted?

I know what you mean about the last time. I've even got a load of washing on a we speak, wont ironing but would prefer it out of the way.

Yes I suppose it is. I think once I know I'm in and staying it will be all good. Yes he is excited.

Oh thanks hon for that I didn't realise that they were patrolled over there. £3 for 6 hours isn't too bad is it, like you say pay that and then have a change.

 

[charliebear]

ooh MrsP.... I'm getting all excited for you!! x

 

[bubba4]

Wow you chatters tonight, well tried a relaxing bath didn't happen

Def txt me if your able MrsP, would be nice to see you. Wow you are gonna be a mummy tomorrow. I have been induced twice and isn't that bad really, pain is just the same just with a kick start.

I want something to eat but don't know what i want

 

[sam#3]

Bless you, even at the 11th hour still doing housework!!! Just make sure you dont get tempted to be doing the ironing at silly o clock in the morning!!!!
Yep we are ready, were having a home birth so hubby just needs to inflate and fill the birth pool when things start happening!! It only takes about 45 mins so i didnt want it taking up the lounge already it would drive me mad!
Is it dependant on bed space if they keep you in?

Oh homebirth, cool. Have you had one before? Must be easier to be at home. Do you have to go to any appointments after for check up or do they do it all at home?

To be honest I am not too sure just got told to call them at 8am, advice sheet says " very ocasionally, when the labour ward is extremely busy, your induction may be delayed or postponed by up to 24 hours. The midwife or doctor will discuss this with you in more detail should this occur." So I suppose you just go in with the assumption all is going to kick off.

Bubba - I have read thatinduction can lengthen your labour would you agree?

Charliebear - How you feeling hon, how is baby A? x

 

[charliebear]

MrsP - I'm feeling fine hun, just keep thinking that things are going to kick off....really hard bump, pains etc....but hey ho!!
Baby A wiggling away as usual. Think he's looking forward to the pizza i've just burnt and ice cold coke!

Hoping all goes well for tomorrow for all three of you x

 

[bubba4]

My labours were 1st three 24 hours give or take and last one was 36ish and she wasn't induced so no my experience is it doesn't. Although I was 10 days with one and 12 day over when induced, so a little later than you.

 

[MrsP]

Charliebear - Thanks hon. Not too much longer for you. If it comes to it have they said when they will book you in?

Bubba - I'm not feeling the 36 hours of labour!!!

Well at least it says very occasionally which is ok, it certainly seems that tomo is your day!! Do you have your birth plan etc ready?
Yes we had a homebirth with no2 and it was great. We didnt have to have any check ups and after he was born i had a shower, we got into bed the MW made us a cuppa and left us to it. The doctor visited the next day to check everything was ok then its just the normal visits, HV, MW etc.
Im just hoping we go into labour soon as we cant be induced with a homebirth

 

[charliebear]

Bubba - I'm not feeling the 36 hours of labour!!!

I hope not!! I'm booked in for a sweep next Tuesday at 41 weeks, and will book an induction date then! If I'm induced i cant go to the MW unit, will be referred to one of two hospitals!! I'm really hoping for under two weeks tho, cant imagine going to the 18th!! x

 

[MrsP]

I have seen homebirths on the TV and they do look much more relaxed. Probably easier with other children at home too. Sounds very relaxing - if there is such a thing when it comes to child birth?!

I am glad that it will happen tomorrow or Thursday as then baby will have own birthday. Every day part from Wednesday & Thursday since sunday till next Sunday we have family with a birthday so at least will have own birthday.

Just wanted to say that your homebirth sounds like the perfect birth...
Hope you get to do it again. x

Oh course you are at a centre aren't you?

What are the hospitals like though? What made you stear clear of them in first place? x x

 

[bubba4]

Sam home birth sounds great, I really couldn't have one due to long labours I have to have drips ect...

Charliebear 18th is when I am due yes it feels ages away.

MrsP I bet you just want to be in your bed at hospital and in pain, I know that's how I was.

well had a bit of mint vienetta and still fancy something grrrr starting to annoy me now.

 

[MrsP]

Right my lovelies, I am logging off now but will log on in the morning once I have called the ward and let you know what they say and say my final good byes, well until I get home. But for now I shall leave you with a little something:
