Moved to delivery suite for night . I'm not in labour but I need bloods doing every hours and steroid jab at 1 so they are better equipped to look after me. Back to ward in the morning.

She has been a big quiet tonight so they put me on moniter tonight. All perfect.

Candy crush is an addictive app !!!! Don't start it you will not be able to stop !! It's a game !

God every hour you will be exhausted !!

 

[josie1234]

God u must be knackered. At least you are getting cared for. Hope you're ok and the food is not too bland.

Candy crush is a game that drives u nuts and is very addictive. That and pet rescue saga. Don't start them cos you will get addictive. Don't know why had big temp dip. Maybe cos I didn't sleep very well. Should I be excited?? Should I start opks tomorrow or us that too early. Don't think I normally ov til about cd 20.

Jo what are the clear white spots on your chart ? Are you out re the times you take your temps? If you are I would suggest you use the temp adjuster to give you a more accurate reading and more accurate chart .

Morning ladies.

Jo I would start testing opk now just to make sure nothing is missed.

Update

Baby still transverse - little monkey.

Had steroid injection 1.00pm yesterday afternoon. As you know I am GD on insulin. The steroid interferes with your sugar levels, so they have to put you on a constant insulin drip.

Second steroid jab given a 1.00 am this morning

Canular inserted yesterday for drip. Blood sugars have been tested every hour, including through night so have to be woken for this.

Sugar levels have been very high and depending on level they alter the insulin infusion.

Basically the insulin is continuous and I am currently receiving 4ml every hour, although that was increased to 8ml after second jab.

Levels are gradually lowering, so hopefully canular will be removed after lunch and then I go back to injecting my own insulin.

They hooked me up to monitor last night and this morning, so comforting to sit and listen to baby for 20 mins.

Going for a wee is a nuisance, I have to wheel drip with me!

The needles they use to do sugars are a bit harsher than my own so I have a lovely collection of Pin Pricks on my fingers, they are running out of room!

Still on delivery suite. Should move back to my room once canular removed.

Heard some new babies crying last night but no screaming moms! after about midnight I was the only one here!

Had breakfast brought to me this morning and so far 3 cups of tea- I could get used to this!

Probably have a nap this afternoon.

Section booked for 3rd September.

How is everyone else today?

God so close Lisa, I'm so excited!!!!!! Xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Me too, I am so excited. My friend went into labour today so I am looking forward to seeing the pics. She is having a boy.

Can't wait to see your pics Lisa, won't be long. I am so excited for you. At least you are being well looked after, hun. I will start opk's today. Gonna put my alarm on so I wake up same time every morning. Not sure how to do the temperature checker thing, how does that work on FF? Got a good feeling about this month, staying positive, PMA!!!! ALL THE WAY. And, if it is not this month, it will be soon xxxx

 

[josie1234]

How is everyone else today???

 

[crysshae]

Lisa - You must be so tired. I hope they get your sugar down soon so you can go back to a little bit of normality and that your nap this afternoon will help you catch up on sleep.

Jo - If you are planning on setting your alarm to wake up at the same time every day, you won't need the adjuster. If you do decide to use one, you can Google BBT adjuster. FF frowns on adjusters, so they don't provide one. Yay for PMA this cycle! I have been feeling extra extra positive and excited about this cycle too! Maybe somebody up there is trying to tell us something! Fingers crossed and for you!

Hi Sarah. Still on delivery suite on insulin drip as sugars are still haywire but plan is for me to have own insulin again with my teA and hopefully then come of drip , then go back on baby moniter.

Didn't manage to have sleep as the machine keeps beeping!

I haven't had any snacks between and not had enough to drink so now have too many key tones in wee which means my body has used glucose reserves so is using fat reserves for me when baby should be having!

Just want to go back on my own insulin now!

Baby still transverse so I'm not going anywhere soon!

How are you doing !

 

[Left wonderin]

Lisa how are you holding up ! Sounds like the service isn't too bad and a least you know when the end point is 13 days .... I'm so so excited for you hope ya have some good books n stuff to keep you going . Do you have a tv in your room ?

Jo the adjuster is easy to use just google it put time you usually take temp and time you took temp in at it does the calculation for you . Then record the adjusted temp on FF as you took it at the time you normally do

I have a tv and also the iPad which has sky go on it!

Back on the ward in my own room again now. The steroid jabs have played havoc with my blood sugar levels. Hoping it will start to settle down again now.

Being looked after very well.

Was on delivery suite for 24 hours and they kept getting me cups of tea!

I need to drink more though . Tea and or water.

The teabaga are caffeinated which is no good when pg so they suggested I bring in my own decaf ones as well as my own mug so I can get a bigger cup!

12 days and counting .

Hope all is well with you Regina .

How is everyone else?

 

[josie1234]

Hope your sugar levels settle soon Lisa. Sounds like you are being well looked after and to have your own room is good. Hope time doesn't go too slow for you.

Not much to report from me. My friend had her baby boy yesterday, 9 lb 5 oz. Looking forward to seeing her pics, she lives up North so not sure when I will get to see her.

Hope everyone has a good day xx

That sounds rubbish. I'd much rather be in charge of my own insulin as well. They should be making sure you get your snacks as well.

Back at hospital tomorrow. Find out if mine is still in its silly oblique breech position. We do have naughty babies Lisa

Hope you're not getting too bored. I hate being in hospital xxx

 

[josie1234]

Hi Sarah, hope you are keeping well, 35 weeks eh? Hope things are going well for you.

Hi Lisa - how are you today, hope they are providing you with snacks. Are your levels going down?

Regina - how are you?
