Aw, sending thoughts of well wishes to little Cameron and wantabean. :hugs:

happy birthday to your hubby Triple!

I'm getting excited for my next ob apt on wed! Hope they give me good news on my GTT.. I think I might get a scan too :)

Hope everyone is having a good weekend xx
 
Saw the title change! Thinking of Kristie and Cameron... Loads of love and healing energy! Hope they are doing better very soon!
 
Cameron is off the ventilator and breathing on his own! :yipee: :wohoo: :yipee:
 
Also Kerry. has had Jacob - 10lb 5oz :shock: Started labour on our shared due date too, lucky beggar :) I will update p.1 later when I'm on the laptop.

AFM, every night involves less sleep and more pain. DH brought me a cuppa, I grabbed my spare pillow off the floor to prop myself up a bit but the water retention in my knuckles stopped me grasping it properly and I dropped the pillow. Knocking one hot cuppa all over the floor and in the extension lead (which let off a nice burning smell).

I'm thinking today is NOT going to be a good day.
 
Great news on Cameron! Good little fella!
Congrats to Kerry on the birth of Jacob, 10lb 5oz :shock:
:hugs: Nic, I can't even begin to imagine how painful it must be to be carrying a 3 day overdue baby :nope: I'm not at my due date yet and I was awake at 4am with chronic back ache. Back ache just doesn't seem to cover it though, I was actually crying again! I am such a wimp! And I still have jobs left to do that should've been done yesterday :growlmad: Oh and Nic, love the FB status :thumbup:
Hope you and hubby are having a lovely weekend Louise :flower:
Hope you get another scan Wish!
:hi: to everyone else!
 
Seriously, I didn't even mention the baby and STILL got 'make the most of the peace and quiet...'

I'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR THE PAST SIX WEEKS, NOW PISS OFF!!!

At least the baby might give me the odd hour's unbroken kip. I was crying too Kim, because I couldn't rest on either hip :(

Whinge whinge.... love to all xxx
 
Just can't believe people haven't got the hint, are they blind and deaf :haha:
Glad to hear I'm not the only one crying in the middle of the night :dohh: I actually stomped down the stairs too at about 5.30am (probably didn't do the back any good!) Hubby wondered what the hell was going off :haha: He came down and heated up my heat pack and escorted my sulky arse back to bed with encouraging words and promises of a back rub. I'm so high maintenance! :haha:
 
:rofl: I was given a replacement cup of tea, a cuddle and a pep talk about how brave I am. Our poor husbands!
 
They're a bloody godsend aren't they. Well, most of the time atleast!

Welcome to winter babies Vic, when are they going to induce you? I'm still looking at 40 weeks as I'm controlling GD without insulin and baby is within normal growth limits. At Frimley every week though so watch this space!

Can't wait to start posting on the Winter Mummies thread.

On a lovely weekend away for hubby's birthday. He's had enough to drink for both of us and is snoring away beside me!

They said 35 weeks which is 4th Feb but I don't have a definite date yet. Day assessment is nice up there now - it's all been moved since I had Maff and it's far bigger now.

Is it only if you have to use insulin that they induce early? Being in there so long I see tons of women coming in with GD for induction at 38 weeks. One of them had a 6lb baby so it made me wonder why it was necessary :wacko:

I've had partial abruptions with the last two and have been in hospital for two out of the last 5 weeks. So they will do it early. My last two were 34 and 35 weeks.
 
Vickie - hope you are ok after your hospital experience :hugs: at least they are keeping an eye on you and as they are planning to induce you early they can make sure LO is as ready as possible.

Vick - the policy is 38 weeks if insulin controlled, no later than due date with diet-controlled. They say it's not just the size of the baby (plenty of big babies without GD) but the extra sugar can make the placenta degrade quicker than usual so not a good idea to go overdue. I think it's a cautious policy but they don't like it when you argue. I'll be happy if they let me go beyond 39 weeks but hoping I might be able to go naturally, we'll see. What will they do to prepare your LO for induction at 35 weeks?

:hugs: Nic and Kimmy. Late stages don't sound fun.

Had a lovely weekend away, only wish it wasn't Monday tomorrow!

:hi: girls, thought I would pop in to quickly update you all. Ended up on L+D again tonight with the back pain. I was in agony and wailing like a banshee. Monitor showed a very active little man and uterine tightenings every 15 minutes. Midwife examined me and I'm 1cm dilated. Doctor (useless may I add) offered to hospitalise me so I asked what they would do? Oh just give you co-codamol. So I said I'd go home and take co-codamol. Have to go back if back pain gets worse or waters go (I'm GBS positive) Otherwise I'm still in for tuesday (tried to get me in tomorrow but no chance and seeing as I'm not in labour it's not an emergency) I'm off to bed, feel like shit x
 
Thanks Nic, feel like a right mardy cow for moaning now when I only have one day left. At the time I did think I was dying though :haha: How you feeling hunni?x
