Oh sweetie Maybe you could make it an indoor camping day(s)... Set up cushions, pillows, duvets, blankets... A little den for cuddles with Seth while he's not well.
Hope things start looking up xx

Seth - poor boy hope the dialyte is able to make him feel better

Cottleston - completely appreciate your anguish over the c section but glad they are not 'making' you do anything you are not comfortable with

Noo - that's good you've managed to weight maintain (1lb to me is still maintaining). ThinkI started to gain weight by 17 weeks, these last couple if weeks I'm definitely gaining.

For maternity I got most of my clothes from Next but also Bon prix think they go upto size 30, never used them before but thought they arrived promptly and still have room in the clothes now at 36 weeks.

Firefly - gorgeous pics congratulations

Ive been having a tough time - dad is terminally ill and been taken to hospital yesterday - since going on maternity leave this past week and half I've been crying everyday I'm finding it really stressful and feel its made worse as have not seen the same person at all this pregnancy except once but it was so long since the previous time they forget about what's happening in my personal life.... My main worry is dad will pass at sametime as I have this baby and with hormones on high ill get postnatal depression and no one will notice. Found out we only get one home visit now after baby arrives and that worries me .

Last night had constant tightenings and pains for a few hours which eventually faded but could easily have been in labour thankfully I'm only a few days off full term now but really think the stress is effecting this pregnancy

awwww Jelly I am so sorry to hear about your dad I hope he manages to stay strong huni at least long enough to meet your little one and spend some special time together I cant imagine what your going through but if you ever just want to chat im here hun.
I cant believe you only get 1 home visit.... hell i was sick of them by the time they finished with me midwife was here every day or 2 then the health visitor was here all the time after that. Have you a GP nearby hun? Then if you feel you are starting PND you can go and get them to see you?

sending you so so much love and hugs hun xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Noo]

Why only one home visit? Do you have PN clinics that you're expected to go to? Normally you will be seen first day following discharge, Day 5 and then day 10 for discharge.

 

[Jellycat]

I've been told they will visit day 1 then after that they have set up a clinic to go on day 5 and day 10...... I just know that how I'm feeling I'll be more honest in my own home rather than in a shared room with others all happy

Pah, there is no way on day 5 or even day 10 I'd feel up to socialising in a PN clinic. I'd be refusing to go!

 

[Jellycat]

That's what I'm thinking too. I remember how hormonal and generally shattered when JJ was first born but to be going through dad dying, toddler and newbirn I just can't see how I'd manage to go. I know dh would be helping me but still I think it's alot to ask from people.

I'm going to book a gp appointment and just air my concerns about the stress on the pregnancy and the worry of PBS after baby arrives etc. hasn't helped having no consistency in my care either I've only seen the same person once all other times it's in and out like your a number....... Or maybe it would be the health visitors role to give support if needed .... Either way I know my 6 week check up will be with my doctor so it will be on my notes then.

Eurgh! My stretchmarks from Coby are already starting to get red in the middle and are REALLY itchy! Coby laughed this morning with a "Morning Tubs! Jee, Jenson sure is making you FAT today!" Cheers kid! Bump pic this morning! Definitely think the tummy ache has been growing pains!

 

[Jellycat]

Nooo I remember panicking when about 26 weeks I got itchy tummy as my stretch marks were being extended from my previous stretchies. Thankfully it lasted a couple of weeks then past. Haven't seen an increase in mine since or they aren't painful anymore

 

[sethsmummy]

wow they seriously expect you to goto a clinic?! seriously.. what iv youv had a section or a really bad delivery for goodness sake. what if youv an unsettled baby and you just want to get some sleep! Thats rediulous.

lovely bump noo hehe gotta love kids haha they say the lovliest of things dont they.

my goodness ladies.. have you all seen on the news the woolwich attack? I am seriously sikened to think we have that kind of people on this earth. I hope they recover well so they can spend the rest of their life in prison.. either that or die a very slow, painful death.

how is everyone? Seth seems to be better today And my sofa came woot. xxx

As for me it's been hard to go to sleep from the kicks I feel like he's in my ribs at times and then mint later he's in a whole different area this all starts at night lol couple of days later I had a ultrasound they said that there was fluid at the end of my cervix the oxturnal so they wanted me to go to labor and delivery I called in And my midwife wasn't in so I was scared and waited the next day she did me that anouying cervical exam and I felt like deiing I hate it it's worst then giving birth for me anyways turns out there wasn't anything dangerous and it was nothing so basically my trip to the l&d hospital was nothing but it did kind of help me get over the scar for labor time cuz I seen a lady holding her baby and being transported I felt less scared and more looking forward to meeting my little man

 

[massoma8489]

Ugh! I am never having this baby! She keeps playing games.

Hey hun, so sorry to hear massoma is ill hun but im glad she is on the mend. Seth is much much better He has some diarrhea but apart from that he is back his normal self today Now i just have to try and pile the weight back on that he lost whilst he was ill.

how is everyone else today? The sun is shining which has put me in a good mood!

 

[CottlestonPie]

False alarms can kiss my buttocks. Seriously!
In bed last night... 8 minutes apart, lasting about a minute. As DH convinced me to phone L&D... Down to 12 minutes, less intense, then eventually fizzled out to nothing. So frustrating.

Turns out... My grandad passed away on C-day a few years ago. I thought he died early June but it was actually may 29th so I'm blaming him for the babies taking forever. He's engineered this and is probably looking down mocking me right now. Bloody Irish and their sense of humour lol
