PAL Fall 2011 ***26 Healthy Babies***

Hello ladies! I haven't been on here in forever, but wanted to drop in and say hi. Hugs to everyone who has recently passed their EDD; mine was back in May and it didn't turn out as bad as I had thought. Still, I worry as I pass each new milestone, and yet so far each has gone by with no sign of trouble. My newest worry is that I'll go into pre-term labor (I've had some espisodes of back-to-back BH) or that lo is breech (actually he was head down last week but he feels like he's gone back to transverse).
Take care everyone!

This is what Im worrying about now, especially with the BH - but I just keep thinking LO will have a good chance if he is born now...not that I want him to be!! There's always something to worry about isnt there!

something else Im worried about is Group B strep - here in UK they dont routinely test for it and I have read about it on here and other articles. When I asked my MW about it, she kinda fobbed me off and said even if I did have it they would not treat me in labour - only treat baby after! This seems ridiculous to me now (after reading stuff on here) Anyway I am off to see them this morning so will be bringing it up again.
 
Good luck aquarius! Hopefully, the will listen to you and you will get some more answers.
SRM thinking about you!
 
Thanks mrs wells! Well I got the answers I wanted so mind at ease now :-)) xx
 
I haven't been here for a while. I hope everyone is well. I have just finished hypnobirthing classes and we are now going for a water home birth. I picked my pool up last night, it is all getting very exciting. I finish work in 4 weeks and then should get a few weeks at home prior to baby coming along.
I have been told I may deliver early as I am only 4ft 92 and so baby can run out of room and want to get out sooner rather than later.
 
That is great!!! How were the hypnobirthing classes?

We're also going for a home water birth - i'm really looking forward to it. :)
 
wow - that is really neat!! :dance: let's hope all of our rainbow babies' deliveries at home go quite smoothly!!
 
Wow lots of home water births :) hope they all go smoothly :)

16 days till term for us, cant wait to reach the milestone cause my bp has decided to go awol :(

Xx
 
wow - can't believe some of you ladies are getting so close!!! 16 days will probably fly by for you! Sorry about the bp - let's hope it drops again. :)
 
Wow Hayley, cant believe its only 16 days til term for you!

Hope everybody manages to get the type of birth they want :)
xx
 
Hey everyone! Glad everyone is still hanging in there. We are getting close! i can't believe everyone is having a water birth! I am the traitor I suppose. Still headed to the hospital for the birth when it happens. Fortunately, where I live is very progressive in the hospitals. they have birthing beds, balls, tubs, chairs and pretty much everything else. Only, my lovely dr. will be there! I am so excited for you all! Can't wait to be done with the roller coaster and on to a new one.
I have noticed, and was wondering if any of you are having this problem, the baby is kicking me to death! she kicks so hard I keep thinking she is going to bruise my insides or fall out the bottom of me. Anyone else having this issue? I thought movements weren't suppose to hurt!
 
I agree with you there barbie! I also need to be in a hospital surrounded by lots of doctors pls lol. I am such a worrier I just couldn't be anywhere else ... Although I do plan on having a waterbirth this time around :-) I was induced on a drip with dd and could not move off the bed much so I hope for a different experience this time. Can't believe we are all getting so close! Is everyone ready?? I started my mat leave this week and so far it's bloody great!! Xx
 
Ps barbie my little guy is very strong. He really hurts with his kicking sometimes but I kinda like it ha xx
 
Aquarius- i am so jealous! MAT leave!? I don't go out until 11 days before my due date. I don't know how I am going to make it. So tired and huge already! I have a count down at my desk until I get to stay at home though lol. How long are you going to take off? It varies quite a bit at my job how long the women stay out. We are technically only covered for about 8-10 weeks paid depending on how baby is delivered. After that you have job protection and can stay out up to a year without pay. I am waffling on how long I want to stay out.
 
barbie, mine hasn't kicked too hard, but you're a bit ahead of me. i'm sure it's normal. :flower:

Aquarius, HUGE congrats on beginning maternity leave!!! :dance:

Just a few more weeks until Fall, woohoo!! :)
 
Congrats on your Mat leave Aquarius!
I start mine next Thursday (although I have been off work for 6 weeks on summer holidays, as I teach in a school!)
I am taking 9 months off work, and returning next spring/summer

I bet it will come around quicker than you think hun. In the UK we get paid for 9 months from the government for maternity pay but it isnt much - 90% of salary for 6 weeks and then £128 a week up to 9 months - you can then take a further 3 months off unpaid. As I am self employed I can be flexible about the time off I want but am planning on at least 6 months possibly 9 depending on if we are coping financially. I went back to work when my daughter, Sofya, was 8 weeks old and miss out on so much!!

So you only get 8-10 weeks pay - is that full pay though? Is your OH in a good job to support you if wanted longer?xx:hugs:
 
Thanks Fides and Shellney...I feel so relaxed now!! As I am self employed as a bookkeeper I am still doing a bit of work at home (when Sofya at Nursery)to catch up on things but the good thing about it is I can take a break when I get tired :-)

Wow Shellney so you really started your leave a while ago...how are you finding it?xx
