We made the trimesters pass quickly!

According to her partner she has mental health issues, but Bristol is such a big place.

What's everyones plans today? I'm going to find some more bits to go in my hospital bag today, my mind is still blank x

 

[Mummy to be x]

I think I'm doing the same UB I need to go to primark and get some night wear, if you look online and search hospital bag list it will bring up a few ideas x

 

[Mummy to be x]

UB I just thought..., what will happen When you go into labour? Will OH come down from Preston? X

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Well he says he's going to take a few weeks off work which would be great because he doesn't want to miss anything. I think he's going to have to take a bit longer than a few weeks to be honest, she might be late lol.

Just checked the news and they have found a womans body in the Avon gorge, I have a horrible feeling it's Charlotte. No news on the baby though. There's been so many suicides there x

 

[Mummy to be x]

That's the tricky thing isn't it. You just don't know when they're going to arrive lol.

Aw no! I hope it's not her, and if it is I hope that little baba is safe somewhere x

 

[ab75]

That is sad. I hope it's not them.

Just waiting on mw coming out xx

 

[Ziggie]

It's really sad I hope baby is OK... But 4 days old, no one saw mum, no one has come forward to say they've taken the baby......

I'm just doing a couple of last jobs... Getting my ipod updated with birth music and checking my camera is ready to use!!

 

[ab75]

Yaaaaay, home birth approved from 37 weeks. Will get birth box and drug box on 16th then I am good to go. So relieved xx

 

[Ziggie]

Are you on any of the homebirth Facebook groups?? They're brilliant. Sooooooo positive

Hi ladies :waves:

I'm just sat waiting to see the midwife, I missed my appointment this morning as I had 10:30 but the mw had 10 so had left by the time I got there :-/
We've just been clearing the attic so oh can go to the tip later, there was so much crap that the woman who I rent off wanted to store but I've had enough so it's all going! Xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Carly that's hilarious, are you throwing out her crap? xx

 

[Ziggie]

The baby has been found not alive

 

[Carlyp1990]

I sure am! Oh and his friend are on the second trip to ththe tip I've lived here 3 and a half years and they haven't needed it! We're Gunna turn the the attic into a cinema room instead

Well the midwife appointment didn't go as well as hoped. Baby is head down but back to back so I need to encourage her to turn by sticking my bum in the air while on all fours and I need to buy a birthing ball to get her head to engage because of the position she's in :-/
I'll definitely be in the midwifery led unit though so that's good. Just praying this baby turns xx

 

[ab75]

Zara was back to back Carly and no amount of me trying moved her. When the mw checked me when I went in in labour she felt her turning as her head started coming down. I hope Lucy turns for you xx

So sad that they have found that woman and her baby, she must've been in some state to do that. Poor things xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

That's awful about that woman and the poor helpless baba.

Carly - Madeleine was back to back and she would not shift for anything, not even during labour. Get on all fours as much as you can though, with Madeleine I didn't think much of her been back to back as it was my first, so In all honesty I didn't do an awful lot to shift her. I think a lot of babies tend to move round in labour. Is she engaged yet? Xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

No hun her head won't engage because it's in a funny position so it can't slot into my pelvis she asked if I've been getting back pain and I said so she said that's why.
I'm praying she moves! Xxx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Ah right I see. Get bouncing on your ball and get on all fours, my sisters baby was back to back too. Have you looked on the spinning babies website xx

 

[ab75]

Get on all fours and rock. Or sit back to front on a dining room chair so you are kind of leaning onto the back of it xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Does the ball encourage them to engage too?

I was watching the news about that poor Charlotte and her baby, it seems she had leaped to her and her babies death. Her slippers and a blanket were on top of the hill but she and her baby were at the bottom

I just can't get over it, how a woman with mental health issues was able to discharge herself no questions asked. Those doors had always been locked when I was there and a midwife on reception to answer the door so one of them let her out! dear oh dear.

Well.. I got myself 2 poinsettias today my room feels so pretty lol



I did move the right one over after I took the photo

I can't wait to get my proper decorations too, I've decided I'm going to get red and white!


Ooh yes and I had that income support meeting today, the woman was a b***h. It was meant to be about me getting back into work after having the baby but she was asking me questions about my personal life which ended up be being in tears and her calling my OH a liar when she doesn't even know him!! Because of her I've had to cancel my child tax credit claim and start a new one (which means I lose money) and she turned round to me and asked if OH claimed working tax credits for himself as obviously he's no longer here and she said oh wait a minute, I just have to check with someone because I don't know anything about the tax credits. She went onto her phone and asked if OH was able to claim his WTC with being under 30, when she got off the phone she said "No he can not, he can not claim if he's under 30!" I checked myself later in the day and you have to be 25 or over so she hasn't got a pissing clue what she was talking about. Meant to be helping me yet had me in tears all bloody afternoon and is possibly making me losing out on money which me and Jayden need. Safe to say I won't be answering her calls in the future!! x

 

[sethsmummy]

why on earth have you had to cancel your tax credits claim hun? Thats bloody awful that she was like that! And its really got nothing to do with her or your claim whether your OH claims WTC or not since hes not living with you his income doesnt even come into it since you live seperately! All that they need to know is any "maintenance" he pays
