Hollye, Hugs!
Not a great deal happening here. brendan has an apt at the hospital on Monday with the occupational Therapist, my friend is being transfered to the local hospy today as twin 1 isn't gaining any weight. So i'll visit her monday, if she's still there. She was supposed to be discharged on Wednesday.
Anyway have a good weekend!

Hi Sally, hope your friend's babies are doing ok... and good luck with Brendan's appointment on Monday as well...
I had a birthing class today with Luke and while some of it made me feel awkward I do feel a bit better and a bit more in control about how everything actually happens. Most people have a rough idea of what happens when labour starts but not a lot of knowledge, if that makes sense.. so now that I know what happens at each stage and what I can do to help it along, I feel heaps better.. even though after they told us about pain management, they went on to say that if you're induced, it's going to hurt a pantload more
I think that my DH feels a bit better knowing what's going to happen as well and has an idea of how he can help out. I think as long as he has a packet of ice cold Tim Tams in his hand ready for me, he can't do anything wrong
I then went and had another routine CTG and blood pressure check. My blood pressure was surprisingly good today, 130/70, which is the best it has been in weeks. It really surprised me seeing I had been in the hospital late during the week due to high blood pressure...
The doctors have said to me that they aren't overly happy with the baby's growth and can't see much of a change in the past fortnight based on the measurements taken at the ultrasounds... so I am little concerned about that. They have said to me that they are going to let me go for another week and see how it pans out. But I think at this stage I might be having a June baby instead of a July one If they are going to induce me I might ask for the 1st of July

Emma- I was also told that my baby hadnt grown much in two weeks when I was 36wks and they were pretty concerned because I had Gestational diabetes but when I had a full growth scan it showed her measurements were all average. We were soooo worried she had stopped growing and it all turned out to be fine. I was induced at 38wks due to the GDM and her CTG's were non reactive in the two days before so I was induced 2 days earlier then originally planned.
I was also told about being induced hurting alot more but when you have nothing to compare it to you dont know do you.
I had a good birth experience so dont worry about it too much. My birth story is posted in the birth story forum if that might help to.

Im so sick of people up in my face about things I really couldnt give 2 sh%ts about right now.
Cant they just realise that they are doing more harm than good?
Majorly stressed and depressed and nothing seems to be going right or getting better. im over all this bullsh%t..
Im over being pregnant. Im sick of going to the hospital. Im sick of all the tests
and most of all im sick of people saying "Geeze your so young and going through this, must be hard"
and yet they dont help... grrrrrrrrr

Kristale - thanks for your post... makes me feel a bit better. I've kinda been asking myself what I've been doing wrong if she's not putting on weight...
Banx - sorry to hear that you're feeling stressed and depressed, I'm sure you just want to be left to get on with your life without having the constant interruption and uncertainty of tests and nosey people!! Hope you feel better after your rant though
