SMEP success buddies

Aaah I see! Gosh imagine they kept u waiting longer...Ud've had DS in the corridor lol!

Ugh noooo! Why are all the people in your work such assholes?? Just ignore them if they are being bitches...theyre not worth ur time! Its so difficult tho when ur hormonal!! I know what you mean...u say u have less than 3 weeks left but then you count how many shifts you have left (I have 10) and it makes me want to cry! Dont get me wrong, the people in my work are (for the most part) nice but this whole "taking me off my feet and letting me do paper work" isnt really working out cos they keep cutting hours out of my department...so I end up out running the checkouts for a good few hours! Its a nightmare! How is ur SPD? Is it getting any worse? At least u have a legitimate reason to not be at work! Mine is just laziness :haha:

Well, the emcs occurred because...il give u a very brief rundown...

Sunday night my waters break so I go get examined and get sent home and told to wait for contractions to start but if they hadnt started by Tues morning I was to go in and get induced because of the risk of infection. So my contractions start throughout the night on the Sunday and gradually build up! They stayed at about 5 mins apart until about 7am on the Tuesday morning when they started coming every 3 mins or so, so we went to midwife unit & they started running the pool for me while I get examined...I was 1cm!! So had to go down to consultant unit to get induced! So then I started dialating slooowly and Brandons heartrate started to dip! It then went down to 40bpm so they decided they had to monitor him constantly! But I think my midwife was reluctant to call for support so eventually the head midwife was doing her rounds and as she walked in the room Brandons heart rate went down to 40bpm again and she ordered a csection immediately!

So I think the main reason was fetal distress but I also remember being told that my cervix didnt turn in labour...is it meant to? I got to 8cm so if his heart rate hadnt dropped then I may have got a natural birth!

Sorry, that was a wee bit longer than expected! xxxxxxxx
 
Hi Ladies,

Ooo thanks for the list, Im just starting to think about my bag, really should get a move o with it - you never know!! I did think to buy and extra tube of toothpaste on my weekly shop and ive put a few baby bits aside (nappies, cotton wool...) but nothing else really! Should charge my camera battery etc - ohhh that reminds me..must tell you what make it is....will get it asap! (sorry for delay - stupid preg brain!). One thing I was thinking of adding to the list is a mini fan and/or water spray?! I hate feeling hot and bothered. Also how many baby suits etc should I pack?

So had my 1st day of mat leave...I have been soooo lazy!! Just been watching 'Call the midwife' mainly! :) Im very excited though as DH says our nursery winnie the pooh stickers have arrived.....cant wait to see them this eve! Been getting nursery envy on here I have to say!

Not long until your mat leave now ladies - just keep going and you will get there :)
 
Hiii certain :wave:

Oooh good idea for the mini fan! I hate feeling hot! Also, any drinks u take in, put them in the freezer before hand so they r niiiice and cold!

Im stuck on how many of each item of clothing to pack...I would probably take 3 just incase of any spit ups, nappy accidents...and then if u need anymore then u can ask ur OH to bring more up! Hopefully u wont be in the hospital too long tho and that will be enough!!

Aw I havent been watching Call The Midwife but Ive heard its really good! Wish i had watched it from the start! Oooooh nursery stickers! Eek how exciting!! As usual...we wanna see pics haha!! Some of the nurseries you see on here are amaaaazing! I wish we had the money to do up the nursery amazingly! But yaaaay on a lazy first day of maternity leave!! Not jealous at all :winkwink:

xxxxx
 
Yeah I know I love looking at the nurseries - I will def put up pics. i hope the stickers are nice as they only cost £6 off amazon!

I hadnt been watching it at all but all the episodes are on iplayer...I may have watched the first 3 episodes today :blush: oh well....3 more tomorrow :haha:
 
BTW did you see that dashnbohemian had her baby? she was one of the original SMEPers too! :) getting closer!
 
Aw man really? Thats scary! I dont really recall her, maybe she got her BFP before I joined the group! But it is scary when you see people getting their BFP's then they have their baby!! I still cant believe kbkb has had her baby!! Hope shes doing well!

A girl that I was friends with on b&b when I was pregnant with Brandon has started TTC again so I recommended the SMEP and shes currently on her first month of it! Really hope it works for her!

£6 off amazon?? BARGAIN!! xxxxxx
 
Wooop they look great, will pop pics on tomorrow :-) makes it look much more like a nursery! :happydance:
 
hey :hugs:girls- how you all doing. Getting close to the end of your journeys, whilst I am just starting mine... I think... As I just did a test and got a BFP!!!!! Am worried it's a mistake. Dh won't believe it until I test again and get it confirmed by doctors. Going to do a digital tomorrow morning, but am hopeful as did it this evening and result came up in about a minute!!! We are not planning on telling anyone until certain but am so excited that I had to tell someone and thought of you ladies! Am going to have to tell best friend this weekend though as we are at a hen party and she will know if I amnot drinking and we always share bottles of wine. Was actually praying for af to turn up soon as didn't think it would happen as we had been referred and I was waiting for af so could have hsg and then start treatment, but yeah doesn't look like I will need it!!! Even though I didn't smep it this time and you are all nearly at the end of the road can I join you on this tread? How do I upload a pictureto message from iPhone? Will let you know how test goes tomorrow morning. Please keep your fx crossed for me? Xxx[/QUOTE]

OMG, Hoping!!!! Congratulations!!!!!! FXD that you get a pos on the digi!!!!!!! :dust: keep us posted!!!!! Can't wait!!!!!!! :thumbup:
 
Hey girls- very restless sleep last night kept dreaming about tests and them coming up neg. Have done digi this mOrning and yea!!!!! It was positive. Came up1-2 weeks sinceconception but I think it is roughly 15 days. Clear blue fertility gave me a peak 18 days ago but I thought it was wrong and didn't get a smiley opk so I trusted my body and bedded a couple of times 3 days later ( and I got a smiley) so shows technology doesn't always work. Oh is very happy especially as it means he can now have hot baths which I had banned for 3 months after his sperm test results hehehe!!! So excited I can join you all!
 
Hoping- congratulations!!!! :happydance: :happydance: so so over the moon for you! Of course you can join us it's an on going thread and I'm sure we wil still all be showing off our LOs soon! Love that your Dh thinks of a bath first... Bless him and all the effort he put in :p wow so pleased for you!
 
EEEEEKK!!!! What an amazing bit of news to see first thing this morning!!! Hoping, i'm so happy for you :happydance::happydance::happydance: CONGRATULATIONS!!! Seeing the words on a digi is brilliant isn't it - Ah sweetie, i'm so pleased you've come back to tell us of your great BFP news! Looking forward to following your journey now :flower:

Steph - Ahh you were so close to 10cm, but by the sounds of it it seems like it was a good thing that head midwife just popped in on you if that other midwife didn't want to go an ask anyone else?! FX you get a much more stress free birth this time though :hugs:

Certain - Oh yay, looking forward to seeing pics of your nursery / stickers!

Ahhh it's all so exciting!!! :flower: x x x x x x x x
 
Sadly I managed to spill my non alcoholic beer (great invention) all over DHs Mac last night and it's now not working :-( opps! Therefore only using my iPhone so no pics until we get that sorted but they look so great :-)
I also automatically jumped and twisted to try and grab the bottle and I think I've pulled a muscle ib my side :( had loads of BHs as well last night but settled down now. To his credit DH seemed more worried about me than his computer... For a while :) tbh he's been wanting a new one for ages so it's a good excuse now :haha: I was so worried he would be cross!

Hoping- how you feeling? X
 
Hey ladies!!

Hoping - im sooo glad ur test this morning was a BFP!!! I cant wait to follow ur pregnancy now! Eek! Do u have a journal? Just so i can make sure i follow it! Now get urself to the docs & get a scan booked! Hehe! :happydance:

Certain - ooooops at spilling the beer! I honestly think my OH would leave me if i did that haha! But glad that the stickers look fab!! Its so annoying we cant upload pics on our phones! Id be uploading a bump pic every day haha!!

Smiley - r u at work 2day? Hope the bitches r being less bitchy!

Well im at work 2day and we have a 25% off all clothing sale...UH OH!!!! Ive put behind a few wee things...smiley i actually seen something and it made me think of u...but i dont know why!! Have u ever mentioned liking the hungry caterpillar before?

And ive put behind all my jammies for labour bag! :happydance:

Xxxxxxx
 
Certain - Woopsy!!!! Haha, oh dear. Well at least he can go and get a shiny new one now! I'm sure there is a way to upload pics from your phone.... I don't know what it is... but i'm sure there must be a way. I saw someone mention some kind of phone app and being able to do it.... well hopefully you get a new laptop sorted and can get back on the pics soon!

Steph - I'm at home today (work from home day) - thank the lord! So not having to deal with the stupid bitches at work. Grrrrrr, still making me angry thinking about it!

Oh how long have u got the half price sale on? I take it that's all stores?

Haha, I don't know if I have mentioned the Hungry Caterpillar but I LOVE it! DS's room is that theme!! Maybe i've said that before though? Oh I'm intrigued as to what it is you've seen??

I need to do a big PJ shop as well... stock up on some dark PJ bottoms! x x x x
 
Hey girls- thanks for alk your congratulations. Need to drop off a fmu sample at doctors tomorrow and then midwife will be in touch. Keep thinking it will change and that they won't find a positive... Had a little smile to myself today as was doing about lent with the kids in my class and what to give up and how it needs to be something they will miss- they asked me what I was giving up and I said alcohol!!!!! Hehe ... If only they knew. ...
Steph- where do you work? Need to start trying to catch up on thread!!
Certain- can't believe you spilt non alcoholic lager on his mac!!! Good thing he wants a new one. Butbet you could have done with saving tha cash. My mate was telling me yesterday how crap maternity pay is. We have just bought a new car too! better start saving now. I feel really silly asking but as this is my first time and not seen midwife yet are there any foods or things I should be doing or avoiding especially in early stages as so scared it won't stick? Am taking folic acid and obviously know about not drinking but not sure on anything else. Any advice?
