@LoneWanderer ouch! Yes better to get it checked out now before it gets worse. Do they give you an antibiotic for it, or what do they do?

@Bittersweet thats a good idea! Ya maybe I will have a whole bag with clothes and things ready. And then they can just buy school lunch those days.

I got up about 1am the night of the op, they got the catheter out and sent me off for a shower. But - I was just whinging to the other half about this actually - so the shower on the ward was a tiny little cubicle thing with a sort of 'tilt inwards' sliding door, and honestly I don't know how they expect preggos/recently preggos to fit through the bloody thing. I thought it would be some sort of wet room and chair set up, but nope. So in the end I just sort of half leaned through it and had a rinse off, not ideal.

Anyway tonight I navigated the climb over the bath into our shower and it was an absolute dream, I feel great. Scar a little bit wet and icky after but don't think infected, and nice to just feel fresh again.

O God that sou d's horrific. I'm lucky in my hospital they have some good showers. I love the one at the bottom because it's huge loads room for my oh to come give me a hand but they have divided the rooms into a bathroom each etc to help combat covid so hopefully I get that one lol!! Glad you are feeling good but hope they get the infection under control!!

@Suggerhoney I have 3weeks 5 days until my section and the week before I don't have 1 appointment so that is going to be the worst lol!! Xx

@atx614
My MIL is having the kids hon. She's taking them back to her flat. So all sorted.
My 15 year old son will be staying with his dad. And my 18 year old dd is staying at her friend's and won't be home untill about 1pm on sat and I'm hoping I will be in hospital by then.

@LoneWanderer
Outch hon. I really hope it's not badly infected. That sounds horrific u poor thing.


@Catmumof4
U never know hon u may end up with last minute appointments.
I had zero appointments booked for last week and then I ended up with 2 Last minute appointments booked in.
Last Wednesday and Friday just gone.
The weekend has flown because we went away yesterday so now just 5 more days and counting.
Not counted the seconds yet lol.

Quite looking forward to my growth scan on Wednesday and seeing him again. Gonna have a chat with my consultant about pain relief in labour. I've had a few failed epidural.
So I want to make sure I get a good one this time like I did with Tommy.
Gonna try and go as long as possible on just gas and air but definitely will be having a epidural when things get too much.
I'm sure my nerves are gonna start kicking in soon.

Not long for you now hon.

 

[Suggerhoney]

I've had a few more contractions today.
Painful and I feel it in my back and front.
My stomach goes so rock solid too.
But nothing regular.
Think it's still just braxton hick but really really strong. I have to breath through some of them.


The pessery has been persribed for me on Saturday but I'm not sure if I will need it or not it all depends on what's happening down stairs and If I'm dilated enough for them to break my waters.
Not sure if they will do a internal on Wednesday to check or if they will just leave it untill Saturday.
With Tommy I got a internal at my last consultant appointment at 36+1 weeks and then i went in at 37 to be induced.
But I needed the passery or balloon because not much was going on down there.
Cervix was slightly open and soft but still long.
Was so annoying esp after all the pre Dominal labour I had.

Glad I've not had that this time.

 

[Suggerhoney]

Ladies.

Please forgive me it I repeat myself at all. I can never remember what I've wrote b4. Baby brain is so bad lol.

 

[Catmumof4]

@Suggerhoney I have a scan fri and like you can't wait to see how she is doing!!
I have to find things to do to keep me occupied the worst will be having to isoĺate the 2 days before the operation!! Sorry your in pain xx

 

[LoneWanderer]

Holy fucking shit, ladies. I have been to hell and back, and I survived to tell the tale. I have known true fear, the absolute limits of pain, and horrors that would shake even battlehardened veterans.

But. I have pooped.

I'm currently on delivery suite cos I had a bleed that had a clot in it x

 

[Bittersweet]

Oh no cat I hope all is ok

 

[atx614]

Oh no cat!! Praying all is well for you. Update us when you get a chance

 

[Neversayno]

@LoneWanderer i almost laughed the baby out haha

@Catmumof4 i hope you are ok?

@Suggerhoney @atx614 thanks for the well wishes!! I think I’ve done everything at home I could possibly do in terms of cleaning and nesting. Dropping my son off at his dads this evening then I guess I’m in for a sleepless night!!!

 

[Suggerhoney]

@Catmumof4
I just commented in the October group but I really hope ure OK and baby is OK.
Please let us know how u are when u can hon. Praying all will be ok and baby can stay in until full term



@Neversayno
Eeeek so exciting hon. Do u have a time to go in or do they call u or u call them?
With DS I didn't sleep hardly at all the night b4 my induction. I was up at 4am lol.
I don't have a time for my induction.
All I have is the date and all its says on the letter is the 4th September.
Been told they will call me on Saturday with a time to go in.
It all depends on how busy they are. The earliest they can call is 8am so can't see me sleeping well at all.
If I haven't heard anything by 3pm I have to call them but praying that won't happen and they will call me nice and early and get me in early in the morning.
Gonna be crappy If I have to sit at home waiting all day.
Just praying they won't be busy Friday night or Saturday.



Can't believe ure baby will be here tomorrow. It's so exciting.
Have u found the last few days have dragged or have they gone fast?

I cudnt sleep last night so been sleeping on and off today.
Another day nearly over and 4 more days to go.
Just want it to be Saturday now lol

 

[Suggerhoney]

Still having bad acid reflux and still getting breathless so still don't think baby has engaged yet.
No signs of labour at all.
On off contractions buy that's about it.
They don't get regular and fizzle out.
I was hoping maybe I wud go into labour on my own b4 induction because at least then they can't say not to come in because there too busy.
But I don't think anything is going to happen.
Baby not even engaged yet.
If I wasn't being induced i wud so be going to 40 or 40+ weeks.

 

[LoneWanderer]

Went for midwife check, ended up in children's ward, turns out we have a slightly jaundiced baby. He's alright though just super sleepy, have to basically force feed him - but doing that should flush it out soon enough they reckon. Literally hasn't woken up since like 5am, even through changes, feeds and a blood test. But he seems otherwise fine and noone at hospital was very concerned.

 

[atx614]

@LoneWanderer do you have to stay at the children’s ward or can you go home? My first was slightly jaundice at her first appt too but they didn’t do light treatment or anything for her. Just told us to keep feeding and all was well.
