Reet - Mildez will probably have something to say about pethadine too, but it depresses the baby's respiration.. personally I would try to avoid it.
Forhselby - oh sweetie - this is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO exciting. Hugs, I know it's tough for you right now. At least the weather is more bearable.
Alish - thanks for noticing, I have been down.... hard times emotionally at the moment, coupled with both Hannah and I having a cold. I realised just how glum I have been when I just felt so happy today, and realised that was more like my normal self. Mojo is back!
Angel - glad that Honor is sleeping well, it makes the world of difference.
You guys are crazy with your nesting... I never really got it, but then even if I did, nothing I could really do about it. LOL, making up for it now. Speaking of which - time to go and do more housework or play with H.
Lanisoh is just from the chemist and I would recommend getting the smaller tube.
Wow Ferrals Ella is so strong - thats beautiful that video. are you going to miss being pregnant? or just happy to have her in your arms
Ive only heard bad things about pethidine - i flat out refused to have anything other than the gas. No way anyone is putting any needle in my spine and not being able to feel half my body i cant think of anything worse. but thats just me i know everyone is different and has diff pain thresholds
My change table i never used either just ended up storage as well lol
I lovvvvve my bassinet and have shared it with my SIL for her bub a few months ago. I needed Ella right next to me but i was scared of rolling on her in the bed so the bassinet was perfect. got about 10 weeks out of it. i couldnt put her that tiny in a big crib. i cant wait too have my son in it too
Reet i know a friend that only lasted 2 weeks and they had done the deed again- i made my DP wait the six weeks out lol. My OB said he had women come back preg at the 6 week check up i was in shock
Yah Dory getting your Mojo back
Come on forshelby we need another new bub to be born in this thread hope its soon for you!!!
ONE MORE SLEEP till we see our little man - no sleep for me tonight i cant wait
Oh Kell- so excited u get to see ur little man again tomoro! And how good is it now that we dont have worry before we go to scans, we can be excited instead! I wish i cld have had the 32 weeks scan, i wld love some more pics! The ob said i wld only need one if my placenta was to low at the 20 wk scan but everything looked fine. Bugger! Is there any reason why ur getting it or is it just routine with ur ob.?? Enjoy every minute of it!
I cant believe ur ob. said some ppl are pg at there 6 wk checkups! I definitely wont be telling dh that! haha. If im feeling good enough and not sore i might give in at 4 weeks but i dont want to risk infection or anything like that. I never want to go back onto the pill cos i think it really stuffed my body up so we will have to be careful not to fall pg too soon!
Ferrals- Oh what a beautiful video! Ella is a strong little girl! I get good movements kinda like that but only up near my right ribs where babys little feet are kicking. Ur whole tummy moves!
U made me laugh so much when u said ur dh on top doesnt really work too well cos his tummy is as big as urs, haha, wont be long til urs will be flat again and u can start to spice things up a bit!
Alish- Woohoo for dtd! Ur lucky dh! I actually prefer for it to be a quickie rather then a longy especially since i havent really been in the mood this whole pregnancy!
Thanks for that website too! I went and had a look, I actually bought myself one of those things a few weeks ago, its a bit different tho. I wish i hadnt bought it now cos it cost me $50 secondhand, $160 brandnew, i cld have gotten a bargain on that website! Oh well...
Dory- Thanks for letting me know u get the nipple cream from the chemist!
Well girls u had almost convinced me not to buy a change table but ive thought about it and i reckon we will use it. Theres no beds close by that i cld change baby on and we let our doggies inside occasionally so i wldnt want to worry about them running off with a pooey nappy or something if i change baby on the floor! The only other flat surface is the kitchen bench and i think i wld rather stay away from that! especially since i havent had much experience changing nappies so it cld get messy! I think i wld also prefer to have nappies, creams, wipes etc all in the one handy spot. In a few months i will probably be saying i shld have listened to u girls but oh well i guess its something i have to realise myself! Thanks for ur input tho
In regards to drugs during labour, im all for it if the drs are recommending it for urs or ur babies wellbeing or if u really feel as though u need something to get thru it. But i just think when u go into labour thinking that u are going to need all the drugs u can get ur hands on thats exactly whats going to happen! Like dhs cousin.. she had to have 2 epidurals cos after the first one she cld still feel pain! I dont think any amount of drugs is going to take the uncomfortableness of labour away!
Kell im with u.. i dont think i wld like to have an epidural and not be able to feel half my body, im someone that likes to feel control of myself! With saying that tho if i had to it wldnt be the end of the world!
Ive told dh all about the bad side effects of pethadine etc so hes pretty against it so i know he will be strong during labour and only allow me to have drugs if he can see that i really really need them or if a dr strongly suggests it.
Even during my m/c i was having really painful contractions every few minutes where i wld be on all 4s in horrible pain.. (i guess it was just like a very mini labour!) my mum was telling me over the phone to take panadol or something stronger to ease the pain but i really didnt want too. I wanted to experience and feel what my body was going thru.. does that sound stupid?! I didnt even wake dh up when i was at my worst at 3am cos i knew there wasnt anything he cld do and i felt as tho it was something i needed to get thru myself. I was always the same with periods too.. i wldnt ever take panadol to ease the cramping etc. cos i liked being able to picture what exactly my body was doing.. like the uterus contracting to expel the blood etc.(haha yes im weird!) Im just hoping i have the same attitude when im in labour!
oh my god ferrals thats so cute, i didnt know they moved that much!!
kell - have fun seeing ur little man today
dory - glad youve got your mojo back.. it wasnt right! xox
reet - dont you hate it when u find a bargain after youve already bought it, its always the way, but they often have baby stuff on there, i check it everyday! its like my ebay addiction
yuck they must be burning off in the bush again, the smoke is that thick ive spewed 3 times this morning brfore 630!
Kellbell-I missed being pregnant after having my other children but with Ella i dont know if i will i have had a very stressfull 1st few months and an uncomfortable last couple but i must say i love the whole process of pregnancy it is wonderful how they grow.
Pethadine is the worst i am allergic to it and codine i have my last 2 boys totally drug free and it was awesome.
Have fun seeing your little man again.
Reet-i was like you i went into my 1st labour open to what the doctors recomended and lasted the 1st 16 hours with nothing i had no choice when my BP skyrocketed and baby was getting distressed i had to try to rest so said yes to the drugs pethadine never again it was horrible anyway i have no choice with Ella i have to have a spinal and pain refief after so scarey.
Alish-to be honest she moves waaaaaaaaay more some nights looks like she is going to climb right out of me when DH took that she had been going crazy and by the time he got the camera she started to settle down but it looks cool hey!
I have to keep myself away from ebay while DH isnt working cause i love buying stuff on there and love the excitment of getting packages in the mail lol you can tell i am bored being at home.
