Ah fab!! Thanks! Il get some 2moro!! Lol il need to get OH to get it for me then cos theres no way i can hide the fact im pregnant! Lol bloody pregnancy and all its joys haha!!

Aww ur doctor sounds lovely!! Thats so good for him! Were u not tempted to say 2 weeks haha?? Lol id be soo tempted! Ah well an email is better than a last minute phonecall!

Im back to work on Sunday! I never work sundays! But MIL is away on hol so me and OH have to work our shifts around each other! I do get double time tho which i suppose is ok! Just cant b bothered going back! But thats me off my feet now until i stop so hopefully i can just lock myself away in a room & not have to speak to people!! Lol im so sociable haha!!

Do u have much planned for the weekend? Xxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Haha that's probably a wise call to get OH to get it for you. I was wearing a big coat but you could still tell I was pregnant. The girl was like "And are you pregnant or breastfeeding?" "Errrr no" (Shifty eyes) . . . .

Oh I was really tempted to say 2 weeks, but he said that if I needed more time then just to ring the doctors office and speak to him and he'd leave me another note. I honestly thought I was just going to go in, tell him what was wrong and he was gonna say "Well it's all part of being pregnant, there's nothing we can prescribe".

Not many plans for this weekend, I plan to do not a lot! Think OH is out tomorrow night so I shall be setting up camp in a bath / on the sofa with some good TV!

Are you doing much tomorrow? Thats a pain you have to work on Sunday, but double time is always a bonus! Haha, I hope you do manage to hide away and not speak to anyone! x

 

[steph1505]

Yeah thats good ur doctor was so nice! Ud probably get a few who would say to u to just get on with it!! But u do genuinely feel rubbish!! Haha i can imagine u trying to hide the bump lol!

Aw a wee sat nite in sounds good! Were heading home from my mum and dads 2moro! Hoping to get home at abt 2ish and then just unpack and relax!

Xxxxx

Seems like a lot of little boy babies were made around August of last year Boys must like April!

Congrats KB!

 

[steph1505]

Haha i kno!!

Certains little lady is gonna have her pick of the bunch!!

How u getting on Mustang?? Xxxx

 

[MustangGTgirl]

I'm good! I am so huge now, I'll have to take a pic to show ya'll.

I think we should all take a bump pic and post for comparison

I only have 10 Fridays to go before my baby is here, I am getting induced.

 

[steph1505]

Yeah!! Let us see ur bump!! Il post mine 2nite, im just abt to head out to work!

Aw wow, thats scary when u think of it like that!! Why r u getting induced...sory for being nosy!!

I see as well that uz have chosen Ryan as a name...thats lovely xxxxxx

 

[steph1505]

As promised...here is my 30 week bump picture!

I must be smaller than what I was last time because when I look at my 34 week pic from when I was pregnant with Brandon...IM HUGE THEN! Im really hoping there is no way I grow tha much in 4 weeks haha!

I was talking to a woman today who is a midwife in the Midwife Led Unit in my hospital and she gave me the number of a woman to phone to speak to about getting a pool birth! I would love a pool birth but was told it was out of the question because im trying for a VBAC! But she said they do happen if the woman is adamant enough!

What do uz think I should do? My OH is worrying now because I know he would rather I was continuously monitored but I really dont want to be strapped up to all sorts of machines!! I dont know what to do!!

 

[smiley330]

Morning!

Steph - I'm so jealous of your bump!! You look fab! My bump is huge, I am huge!!

Well I am hoping for a water birth this time so my answer is going to be bias towards that! With DS I was in the midwife unit (wanted water birth but they were taken!) and it was brilliant. No machines, no doctors rushing / poking around, just lovely lovely calm midwives - the whole experience was brilliant. However, if something had gone wrong the labour ward was only a couple floors down so I felt confident that should I need it then it would be easy to go there.

Your midwife unit is in the hospital as well is it? I know it's different for you given that you are going for a vbac, but if you needed to they could whisk you down to the ward to be monitored so fast couldn't they? I would highly recommend going to a midwife unit anyway, and if u can get in the birth pool I'm sure you'll be much more comfortable than being on the ward?

I don't know, just my thoughts! x x x

 

[steph1505]

Aw smiley, im sure ur not huge!! My face is really puffing out these days! Not happy lol!

Yeah the midwife unit is right above the consultant unit so im sure if they needed to get me monitored or if for some reason i need another section...whats one more floor in the lift if u kno what i mean? I def think i would have a more successful labour if i was in the pool, all relaxed and not pumped full of pain killers!

Im so nervous abt phoning the woman! I really want to plead my case but i dont know what to say lol! I think il practice my speech 2day and fone her 2moro!

How u feeling today? Did ur boss email u back?

I still cant believe kbkb has had her baby!! Xxxxxx

 

[CertainTurton]

double post!

 

[CertainTurton]

AHHHHH kbkb!! CONGRATULATIONS!! so so pleased to hear you have a beautiful baby boy!! sorry for the delay but still have no internet at home! wonderful news and so happy to have our first SMEP baby! aww feel all emotional! Will you be putting any pics up?

Beauty - wow another well my little lady is going to be well looked after congrats, any scan pics?

Mustang - good to hear from you! Do you have a date for inducement? Ryan is lovely

Smiley - well done for getting signed off, its good the doctor was understanding. Hope yuou are resting up now. Did they get back to you?

Steph - Love your bump - Im feeling huge too, prob should do another pic soon I really hope you can get your water birth, it does look really relaxing. Could you maybe use it for pain relief then get out when 'its time' ?

AFM - had a lovely weekend. Went to see Billy Elliot at the theatre - was fantastic!! However I did have a HORRID Friday with my boss being an absolute £"%"$%^$^. I actually made an official complaint to HR about her and Im seriously considering going to the doc after my midwife app on Thursday and getting signed off for my last week. I just cant cope with her anymore and Im sure its making my Heartburn and BH worse! I need to try and stay for a couple more days as im training the new girl.

 

[steph1505]

Aw certain!! What is it with all the horrible bosses?? Good on u for making an official complaint!!

Lol u def should go get signed off! The stress and worry is definitely not good for u! And especially not at this stage of ur pregnancy! U want to be able to relax and enjoy these last few weeks and prepare for babys arrival! Not be all anxious and stressed out becos of work! So i say go for it! Woo!
Im loving all the sick notes haha!

Xxxxxx
