I was sure I posted ehre too but my post got lost..
ok firstly
Kath, I had 8 msicarriages and am now almsot ready to have this little one. i was refused all help due to my age although testing of the m/c shwoed no abnormalities at all. I hope seeing me pg with Daniel can give you som ehope. I had a stillbrith as well back in 2002. She was 31 weeks and I passed teh 31 week mark this tme also in hospital, more on that later.
Ellie thank you for reminding me, I had better design some thank you cards while I am on bed/couch rest. It will help pass the time.
Tildy yay on such a great appt. lol re the elg size thuogh, If anything mine have gone the toerh way and the weight I had gained has now all gone and I am back to just muscle and baby.. who is STILL Breech :X not happy bout that. and he still measures 3 weeks ahead...
copy/paste from my due date board.
Just letting you know I was in hospital from Sunday afternoon thru to Tuesday 4pm. I injured my back on Saturday afternoon and went to the after hours dr. After touching my back to see how bad it was and making me scream and cry the Dr sent me to the hospital with an admission letter. they too in the A&E prodded my back and got the same response so gave me 10mg morphine and found me a bed on the maternity ward. I had twice daily CTG tracings of bub and was put onto panadeine forte and valium. I have redcued the dose down to 2.5mg instead of 5 coz I hate being zonked out. I am on couch and bed rest and NO housework wit a few exercise the physiotherapist showed me to do... I have been up for too long and my back is paining so I am going back to bed.
Daniel is doing fine and none of the drugs have affected him at all which was my worry and why I cut back on the dosages I was prescribed.
hugs all and hang in there ladies, only a few weeks to go.
If I can get Dh to get down my small suitcase I'll pack my hospital bag instead of stuffing 2 nighties and some undies in the nappy bag... At least now I am better prepared for what to pack rofl.
I was amazed at how many of the midwives I not only rememebr but they also remembered me and Annabelle and samuel. One even went as far abck as being the midwfie who delivered my daughter Tash back in August 1991!!!! And recalled also how quickly the labour and delivery went and Tash being shell shocked at a rapid delivery and needing resucitation. She'll try and be there for Daniel too which will be great if she is rostered on for that shift and can make it. She is now in hospital admin but does deliver the odd baby to keep her hand in (so to speak lol)
Off to bed now my tablets are working and I can move.
hugs
jude

welcome, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure you'll find support from these lovely ladies.
Cindee, I hope I'm not too late to wish you luck and hope your little girl is nice and big whenever she's born.
Jude, I'm so sorry to hear about your back!! I hope you feel better soon.
My goodness Ellie, 3 weeks!!! how exciting!!! I know how you feel about not wanting to wait anymore, mine's not about size, I think I could still get bigger but I don't want any more feet/back pain, or fatigue. And I know I know, the fatigue will get worse as everyone keeps telling me but it doesn't make me less tired now!!! 2 weeks of work to go and counting, sooooooo over it.
