[MadamRose]

@LoneWanderer glad things are better and no one else is poorly! You’ll have your little man in your arms in no time!

 

[Zoboe95]

@LoneWanderer 2 days is no time at all!! Glad all is looking better!!

Officially my first day off today...toddler is grumpy after a busy weekend, I need to go shopping and pack to go camping...have approximately 0 energy!

 

[MadamRose]

May end up having to pop up to PAU as this baby has been very quite since last night. Getting some movements but nothing like I would normally get

 

[Zoboe95]

I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night...don't know why ...had a scare because the end of my maternity pillow was wet ...I have literally no idea why! I had underwear on, and that wasnt wet, so my initial scare of waters isn't right, and it was the other side of the bed to OH, so can't blame him! The bit that's wet was kind of off the side of the bed, I'm so confused I had water on my bed side table, but it was in a sports bottle that was done up!

 

[Neversayno]

@MadamRose best to go get checked out. Hope it all goes ok.

@LoneWanderer i can’t believe how quick it’s come round! Excited for you

@zoeb1234 thats soooo random!!! It would literally do my head in how it got wet haha

@Suggerhoney hoping you get your date weds and the acid reflux eases off.

I have woken up with a banging headache this morning just taken some paracetamol hoping it clears

 

[atx614]

@Zoboe95 peobably sweat! I have had a few nights where I just have been extra sweaty!

@MadamRose yes please go get
Checked! You know your body and if it doesn’t feel like as many movements best to get checked out.

@LoneWanderer so glad he is better and y’all didn’t get it!! Two days!!! Sooooo exciting!!

@Neversayno hoping your headache goes away quickly! Seems low of headaches at the end on here. Maybe it’s a sign lol.

 

[MadamRose]

@atx614 yes I’ve rang they are super busy but said to head in - not rushing too much with them being busy but I’m getting ready to go in. Knowing my luck the minute I get on the monitor baby will have a party!

So on the monitor getting some movement from baby, still not quite normal. But the monitor is also picking up the pains I’ve been having so no idea what they are all about as they aren’t doing anything

 

[LoneWanderer]

Heading back from pre-op, all set for baby now, in 7am weds, eeeeek! Feeling v excited suddenly.

 

[atx614]

@Catmumof4 yay!! What’s your date? So nice they give it to you early so you can plan!! I am going to ask tomorrow if they’ll give me mine early but I doubt they will.

@MadamRose did they say anything about the pains? And I’m glad baby is all well! Always nice to get checked for peace of mind

@LoneWanderer so excited for you! It’s almost time!

 

[Neversayno]

@LoneWanderer eeeeek how exciting hun!

@MadamRose are you still there?

I feel really poorly all of a sudden headache has turned into pain in my face, neck, throat etc feel like I have been hit by a bus haha

 

[Suggerhoney]

@LoneWanderer
Oh my daysssssssss hon I can't believe ure baby will be here on Wednesday.
Do u actually go In at that time or do u have to call them in them in the morning b4 going in?
With my induction' even tho it's being done in delivery suite and not on the ward I still will have to call delivery on the morning of induction to get a time to go in.
Hope they won't be that busy that day so they can get me in nice and early

@MadamRose
Those look alot like contractions hon. Can u feel them. What have they said at the hospital? I hope ure OK.

@Catmumof4
Sorry ure not well.
So jel u have ure date early.
I really hope and pray I get mine on Wednesday. I've had enough of waiting now.

I've prepared myself for 37 weeks and now I'm freeking out there gonna make me go over 37 weeks. Im gonna demand my date on Wednesday and tell them to book me in as soon as possible. Hoping it won't be any later than the 4th September
If I don't get my date on Wednesday and I have to wait another week to get it I'm gonna be so upset


@Neversayno
So sorry about the headache hon. I've been getting alot or headaches lately. Not nice.

 

[LoneWanderer]

Nah so we just turn up 7am, the two planned slots are 9am or 11am (midwife says she will try and get us the 9am so she can come in), obviously if emergencies come in then we get bumped back up the queue.

If it gets to afternoon and we are not done yet, it's up to me whether I go home or stay in - either way I can have my meals, take the meds again, try again the next day. I'd probs stay in, lot of effort to go home and back when I could just lie down and get fed

And as for visiting, so apparently here dads get a choice of 8am-2pm or 2pm-8pm. So day one he'll obviously be there for the birth and go home at 2pm, then day two he'll probably come 8am again, go home at 2, and come back in evening to collect us. But if looks like I'm staying in an extra day, he'll probs do the 2-8 slot instead.

Midwife also said if it's quiet they can bend the rules a bit, but I think I'd rather he was home with the toddler as much as possible. See what happens.

And could not be happier with midwife situation, so turns out both my wonderful midwives are on the ward that day and I'll have one or both of them in theatre and taking care of me and baby after. Which is amazing because the hospital ones are... well, I just don't like them

So yeah, providing all goes to plan and he doesn't come early, it's all coming up roses over here. Of course, you know what they say about the best laid plans...

 

[Neversayno]

I’ve been to see GP, sinusitis and antibiotics given! Likely from an untreated chest infection (because let’s face it, who goes to the GP with a cough!!)

I feel terrible but I’m hoping a couple of days rest and I’ll be right as rain!

@MadamRose how’s it going?

@Suggerhoney i hope you do get your date, don’t stress yourself out about it hun.

@LoneWanderer those visiting times are good! I haven’t even asked here!!

@Catmumof4 glad you got your date, when is it?

 

[Bittersweet]

Hi all!
Whoever asked about my mood I’m doing okay little irritated at times hormones are joyful!
Baby girls bloods have come back today and she remains under the line for treatment so finally things are looking up and looking like she is over the worst of the blood issues!

I stupidly drove yesterday. I had a second degree tear so that wasn’t wise! I keep forgetting as with my son by the time I got home he was already almost 3 weeks old so I had pretty much healed from the episiotomy. This time I keep forgetting I tore lol.

we are settling into life pretty well oh has been so good this time round with my son he struggled a bit. Though j keep having to remind him on basics ie feet to end of cot, support her head etc.

 

[Bittersweet]

When is everyone else die? Lone your next maybe madam rose before though judging by that ctg! So exciting! Then it’s countdown for who next?

 

[atx614]

@Neversayno sorry you aren’t feeling well. Glad you could get some medicine quickly and thankful it isn’t covid!!

@LoneWanderer thats awesome both your midwives will be there. I hope you get the 9am slot. I wouldn’t go home either. Once your there just stay!!

@Bittersweet ouch! Yes I always forget about the tearing and pain after until I’m there lol. Not looking forward to that again. Glad you are adjusting. It is an adjustment for sure for a 3 year old, glad your OH is off work to support him. Does he get paternity leave?

hm I think lone and madam are next and then I’m not sure, sugger probably I think
