im back, still bleeding though
i have to go in again if it gets heavy. I had to have an internal which hurt & they took swabs to be tested. They couldnt see any problems but said my cervix looked irritated
Sydnee is head down again though wooo hooooo

A lady gave birth in the room next to mine, she was screaming & swearing, it was horrible.

I realised i dont have many good friends after today, none of them wanted to come with me so i had to go alone.

 

[AimeeM]

Awww That is why i keep myself to myself. I have a couple of good mates but other 'friends' want me when they feel like it but are never there for me if i need them. My sister is the worst one of them all!

 

[twiggy56]

Oh Heidi i would have been straight round there to be with you if i was closer!! Keep an eye on that bleeding, and take care of yourself!! Rest rest rest! Did they say how long it would take to get swab results?! Could just be an irritated cervix then....hoping it will fix itself for you hun..

 

[3 girlies]

they didnt say much, just said the bleeding should stop soon. It hasnt though, mind you after the internal im not surprised, it hurt like hell!!

 

[randomxx]

yeah BW did they ever find out more about him???

3girlies- you take it easy today and rest up hun, its times like these you realise who your true friends are hun and its not always the people you expect

one of my customers has just asked me if i would like her old baby monitors they have the mat that goes under the mattress i think someones already bought us them but they will come in handy as a spare set

 

[Beautywithin]

no never heard anymore about it, but dont no if my PM went thru, because iv PM'd a few people befor and never got a reply, so they either ignoring me or dont want to message back

but i no if wobbles got the message, she would have messaged me back straight away, iv send her messages befor and have had a reply pretty quickly


Dont no how you let them do a internal Heidi.... when they had to check to see how many cm dilated i was, i clamped right up, and the nurse said to me if you dont let me do it then i will get someone else and she wont be as gentle :O i couldnt help it tho, anyone else near there i clam right up, i needed gas and air befor she got anywhere near there

glad Sydnee is ok- so if they are head down already, does that mean they are less likely to move the other way again? x

 

[nervouspains]

Glad they think all is ok Heidi
I wonder why or what would have caused an irritated cervix

xx

 

[randomxx]

yeah i was wondering aswell what could have caused it mibe a wee uti or something?

ladies can i ask you all a question since you've been pregnant has your BP gradually been increasing mine started at 90/60 and at the last reading was 124/78 ive never had a dip its always been higher that the previous reading i was just wondering if everyones the same??

 

[nervouspains]

Yes random- mine was I think about 80, then I saw it was 126, and it has stayed around that since I was 16 weeks xx

 

[AimeeM]

Mine has been the same for years, 100/60 it was always 100/60 when i was pregnant before and it is when i am not pregnant. You would think it would change sometimes so i find it strange that it doesn't.

Yours sounds fine though and the midwife would say if not but maybe ask her about it and see what she says. I have got a right list of questions for my next midwife app!

 

[twiggy56]

well you know the problem iv had with mine...its not gotten higher, its dipped!

 

[randomxx]

thanks ladies i just dont want anything to jepordise my chances of labouring in the CMU instead of consultant x

 

[randomxx]

that sounds really selfish but you know what i mean x

 

[3 girlies]

I dont know whats caused it, i was surprised they let me home coz im still bleeding. I feel sore after the internal now, i was not prepared for them to do that, i thought they only checked you in labour i am not very confident in that way so i hated every minute of it!....& i was wearing odd socks lol, one was pink the other was green, i was in a rush

 

[AimeeM]

thanks ladies i just dont want anything to jepordise my chances of labouring in the CMU instead of consultant x

What's that? I might be being a little thick but what do you mean lol?!

 

[randomxx]

sorry hun i forget its not a common thing its Community Midwife Unit basically because i am low risk i will only see midiwives during labour that way i can have a water birth and stuff (its also there that i can get my aromatherapy massage and acupuncture for free) but if i need an epidural i will get transferred downstairs to the wards and will deal with doctors which i dont want as the CMU is really relaxed!

oh ment to tell you all at my hypnoclass she was telling us that the internals they do midwives do them every 6 hours but doctors are always in a rush and do them every four hours the more internals you get the bigger the risk of infection so you can refuse for them to do internals every 4 hours if you want supposedly they can monitor it abdominally aswell (if im remembering right)

 

[AimeeM]

Ahh right, we call it the birthing centre. I am going to ring up and arrange a tour but i am not too sure when i should go so another thing to add to ask my MW next week!

I think you BP is well within the normal range still Random though anyway.

As if i never knew that, i am sure they checked me over every hour but i don't know, a lot of it is a blur!

 

[randomxx]

my hypno woman is giving us the tour two weeks today i cnt wait lol plus i going to find out tonight when the best time for the accupuncture is so i'll let you all know (as it can help soften the cervix which i found out is that a lot of labour id trying to soften it lol) so if it makes labour quicker i'l be getting it lol

yeah aimee she said that the more its checked the greater the chance of infection thats why midwives do it every 6 hours not 4 but she said you have the right to refuse them or ask for them every 6hrs instead of 4

 

[nervouspains]

Has anyone written a birthing plan yet
Or when do we discuss this with the mw? xx

 

[twiggy56]

apparently its at 34 weeks? Thats what my appointment sheet says?

although i think its discussed at antenatal classes aswell no?
