PAL Summer 2011 Babies - From 1st tri to MC and back again in one go.

[sequeena]

Hospitals are soooo boring when you have to wait about!!

I think I'm leaking so I rang labour ward with my fluid worries - they're so lovely! There's a midwife called Donna on all night so I can ring her back if needs be.

Basically I told her I'm 38 weeks tomorrow, getting some pains but more importantly think I'm leaking fluid. She's asked me to keep an eye on the fluid, pop a pad on, wait an hour and see how it is (want to see the difference between wee and fluid). If in an hour/couple of hours I'm not happy I'll ring her back and go through to get checked.

I honestly do think I'm leaking. I remember this slow trickle from when my waters went before and it's making me feel sick though I know Thomas is much safer at this gestation than he was at 14/15 weeks...

Took me forever to find the number!! They changed our notes the other week and my old ones had all the numbers on the front so I spent 20 minutes hunting for a damn number! GRR!!

Oh I'm excited/worried and want to go in but also don't want to be told I'm being a silly mare

Awww Eve congratulations Hun!!! Well done lovely quick birth. What a good weight better bigger than smaller!!! Well done doing it just gas and air too. That was fab!!! Hope you get home soon lovely. Xxxx

I don't have such nice news though, still in hospital but could all be a complete waste of time. Saw doctor at 2am she wasn't happy there was enough 'evidence' I was leaking so they are keeping eye on my pad and reviewing when ever (I don't know when) not very damp at moment as been laying down so personally I think it looks unlikely to be induced but as normal not saying much to me. Had 2 1/2 hours sleep so you can imagine how I'm feeling!! Pissed off really as why didn't doctor do the first assessment and trusted the midwife's one. One has said yes and one basically no! Oh the joy. No baby just yet for me I reckon.*Hating hospitals right now!

Congratulations Eve he is gorgeous! And well done you on just G&A.

Pip, sorry to hear your news hope things start to happen for you, I hate hospitals at the best of times. x

 

[Emmea12uk]

Good luck Eve hope it's quick xxx

Sounds promising to me Sequeena. Xxx

Well big news from me too, they think my waters have gone, slow leaking started yesterday so over 24 hours ago! She doesn't think I'll be going home tonight, bit shocked. I'm in hospital now. Hasn't been confirmed yet so didn't want to say on fb. Hoping I can go home and give Sam a cuddle and prepare then come back tomorrow but she thinks they'll induce me tonight. bp high but coming down and bloods taken in prep.

Maybe our babies will have the same birthdays !!!

Exciting!! anxiously waiting for news you two!!

Yay and congrats to eve!!

Hi! Hope your doing ok on your treatment. Fingers crossed for that BFP!! Xx

 

[sequeena]

Sassy

Back to back means a longer labour so yes more pain and it only occurs in 10% of pregnancies apparently which is just typical

Not long got home, put a wash on and did some dishes. Now rocking on my birthing ball as midwife said no bouncing. If anything it'll mean I hopefully get a good nights sleep

 

[Aaisrie]

Thanks girls!!

Sequeena try leaning forward on something and rocking that can sometimes move them forward!

Good luck Pip it's your turnnnnn

Thinking of you Sarah x

Hey ladies, got back home last night and still oregnant. After saying how wonderful my hospital was I can now official say I hate them..... well that ward anyway. The doctor finally came around at 4and said I needed to do the whole process again or have a scan, I burst into tears and the mw said I'll get her a scan it's instant that way. So bless her she ran down and got me an immediate scan and my fluid levels were ok. I might be leaking but there is enough there so she was happy. I ran back to the ward where the mw ran my notes to the doctor who was thankfully still there doing the rounds. I have to say the mw was fantastic and it wasn't her fault it was so long for me to be seen (she dealt with me most of the day), it was the doctors that kept being called to theatre. I went back to my room for news. I got bored about 5 and asked what was happening and another mw said oh if she's written in your notes you can leave, well she had (Errrr why didn't they tell me straight away more waiting) so I could finally go home but have to get a pad check next week by a mw, which I can do at my doctors. PHEW!!! So 27 hours in a hot hospital with women labouring around me, two speculums and a scan later MW said yes I was leaking, doctor said no and a scan to say I had enough. What a waste of time. Blood pressure was high the whole time 158/100 most of the time but I put that down to 2 hours sleep during the night and stress from being told yes you are waiting to go down and have the drip I just need the call to no we need to do more obs and then telling me nothing!!!!!! Honestly it was like purgatory for me, now I know why people hate hospital so much. So here I am on due date and still pregnant, I don't mind, I now REALLY don't want to be induced as I fear I'll have to go through that again although she did say if I was to be induced at 40+12 then I'd go straight onto the drip as I'm a second time mum, no waiting on the ward. Do I believe her, erm no! Anyway, thought I'd catch up for you on my drama. Sweep booked for Wednesday so I'm hopefully going to go by next friday, my lovely mw boasted she had a very good record

Love to you all. Sorry not replying to all by my brother is here from America and I'm making up for all the time I missed with him yesterday whilst I was in that stuffy hospital, trapped!

ps I slept nearly 12 hours with one pee stop....... must have been tired and haven't done that in 9 months!!!!

 

[sequeena]

Pip all that time wasted!! If they 'think' you may be leaking all they needed to do was take a swab using amnisure! Takes minutes to get a negative or positive result! Bloody muppets.
