[MadamRose]

@LoneWanderer definitely get in touch with your midwife if you can

 

[Zoboe95]

What a ridiculous appointment that was ...got there at 1.50 for a 2pm appointment, booked in and they said they didn't have a list of the appointments but sit down and I would be called in. Waited until 2.25, not a single person had been in or out of midwife room. Went up to the desk and they phoned through to the midwife and she said she had no idea she had any appointments, and was about to leave to do home visits. No idea who she was, neveret her before, but she saw me and did the usual blood pressure etc, and that was that ...weird! She said she would presume I'll be booked in at the midwife centre, but she wasn't sure then she gave me two Emma's diary labour packs as an apology for running late

@LoneWanderer hm maybe a yeast infection or bladder infection? Drink tons of water for sure to clear it out. But I hope they give you antibiotics either way to clear up wherever it is

 

[atx614]

@Zoboe95 ugh that’s super annoying. I’m sorry! Ya I feel like appointments without a scan are kinda a waste lol. It’s nice to get checked on but it is pretty pointless.

 

[LoneWanderer]

Yeah I spoke to midwife - she said coz the urine test was clear there's not much they can do. So I rang GP instead and got a call back like 15 mins later - a miracle in itself - and he has prescribed some antibiotics but they're not ones I've had before and everyone online is saying they suck balls, cause terrible stomach problems, which is the last thing I bloody need on top of recovery and babies. So I dunno whether to take them - after all, the tests were clear for infection...? See how I go next 24 hours I guess, start them if no improvement.

 

[Suggerhoney]

And you suggar s

Oh no it definitely sounds like u have a infection . Did they give they give u any antibiotics?

[Bittersweet]

Yes suggar that was me . If people put their names here I could follow I’ve got an unseatchable profile on both Facebook and Instagram as I work in public services

 

[Zoboe95]

Merrily sat here whiling away the hours watching Timmy Time, and just realised im 37 weeks today!!

If you had asked me last night, I didn't think I would get this far, I was in such pain! I think it's sitting in one position for too long! I sat on the floor gluing for about an hour with little one yesterday, and I don't think it was good for me!

 

[LoneWanderer]

Wooo happy full term!!

 

[LoneWanderer]

I've had three breakfasts.
So it turns out it's definitely not due to the baby, I'm just destined to be a fat lass forever more

On the plus side (no pun intended) I lost an entire stone just by having the baby, so I mean... I'm winning I think ahaha.

 

[Bittersweet]

Haha lone I haven’t eaten yet cause I slept until il 9 but I actually feel like a new woman! 4 hours early last night then another two hours then 3 6-9 bliss haha

 

[Zoboe95]

@LoneWanderer take that win and enjoy it! And the three breakfasts!

Currently sat in the maccy D's carpark waiting for them to bring me food...couldn't stand being in the house any more...partner and little girl so nearly done in isolation now, thank goodness, I need time to escape! I am taking food home for them too to be fair!

 

[LoneWanderer]

The baby pretty much slept through last night, 1am til 7am, which was terrifying tbh - but all is well and he's a merry, happy, hungry little sausage today.

And both kids napped at the same time this morning. What is this witchery? I don't trust it. All going a little too well...

How is your blood pressure hun? High BP can cause those symptoms and can set in up to a month after birth… I’m assuming they took it recently but if not you should have it checked!

 

[LoneWanderer]

I think they did it at the checkup other day, tbh it's a blur as we were more worried about baby at the time, but I'm sure they did it.

 

[atx614]

@Zoboe95 happy full term!!!

@LoneWanderer haha you crack me up! I remember being starved and eating so much while I was still producing milk. Then once my milk dried up appetite went back to normal. Hoping to breastfeed this time (last time I just pumped). We will see though, I am happy as long as baby feeds but would love one positive breastfeeding experience.

@Suggerhoney its almost your day!! Woohoo

 

[LoneWanderer]

We gave up on trying to feed after the first day, I haven't the patience and my babies don't have the instinct. Plus other half likes doing feeds too. So this one's expressed and formula combo, same as the last. Its been a lifesaver this time round too, with me having a harder recovery - I can still hardly sit up in bed, much less get out of it easily to grab baby, so far easier for him to do the night feeds til I'm better. Glad he still gets the benefit though, especially as I'm planning my covid jab ASAP and hoping it might just give him some protection through the milk, maybe.

 

[Catmumof4]

@LoneWanderer your so funny haha crack me up!! Hope your feeling a little better now! Did u start the antibiotics?

@MadamRose if you or anyone on fb want to add me I'm catx thurlow would love to stay in touch

@Zoboe95 yey for full term! Sorry about the glueing pains lol

Sorry iv been mia yesterday the bug took over I couldn't keep any water or food down and I started throwing up bile that was so dark it looked black and they said there was blood in it. I had to stay in overnight and got back about 5 pm this evening. So so tired after 2 days of no sleep it's been hard work. I saw the consultant today and she has agreed to try bring my cesarean forward a week if she can. She said she cannot believe how much they are booked and I saw for myself it was so overrun! I'm so so glad mines a cesarean as apposed to an induction. We only have a smallish hospital and it was mental busy! Sorry for going on just shocked was all xx

 

[Suggerhoney]

Hahaha @LoneWanderer u are so funny I absolutely love coming on here and reading ure updates. What is this witchery haha brilliant.

On a more serious note tho that's fantastic and I hope it lasts that's a great routine and gives u that little to yourself.


@atx614
Hehe I know I can't believe I'm next. Unless @Zoboe95 goes into labour between now and Sat.
No signs here at all. No mucas plug nothing and the sod is still not engaged. Definitely wud be going 40 or 40+ wks if I wasn't being strated off.


Sorry Ive not been on today laddies I've been really busy.
I finished all the housework DH hoovered.
So whole house is clean and tidy from top to bottom.
I also cooked a curry and washed everything up and dried it and put it all away.
It's been a long day and I didn't sit down untill 8:30pm. Got the kids to bed.
There all set for school tomorrow.

I've wrote DH a little shoping list of things to get drinks and snacks wise. So then if I can't be arsed to go tomorrow I won't have to.
Thinking of just having a bit of a chill day tomorrow.
Need to have that shower and sort my hair out and will probably do that tomorrow evening and hopefully it will help me sleep.
Then it will be induction day. Do wish I had a time that I cud just go in. The not knowing a time and knowing I cud be waiting all day or possibly untill the next day sucks.
Just praying that does not happen and I can get in early.
It took a long time to get labour going with Tommy so the earlier I can go in the better.

Just praying so hard they don't get inundated with loads of womon going into labour or emergencies.
Can be as busy as it likes on Sunday but please let Saturday be quiet so I can get that early call to go in

Been watching one born every minute and Emma Willis delivering babies.
Don't know why I'm doing it to myself because seeing these womon screaming is kind or freeking me out.
But you know lol.

Anyway too some bump pics and I think I look huge.
Really not trusting that scan at all. 7lbs 1oz I don't think so.
