forshelby - gcd is the WORST! i had severe abdominal cramps and went there and waited 6 hours before i said f**k this and went home, went back the next day and waited 4 before i someone saw me, both times i laid on their chairs curled up in a ball!
sorry you have to be induced, but at least you get to see little one in 6 sleeps.. yay!!
melster - i had a stinging ache behind my rhs back bottom tooth, have u had your wisdom teeth out? thats what mine was.. or it could be an abscess, might be worth going to the dentist?? hope you can get some relief soon, tooth aches are the worst..
as for the gender thing, i reckon brett might be a little disappointed if we have a girl too! he will be happy either way but i think he just wants his little boy! plus i keep having dreams everynight im having a boy so he is getting his hopes up..
kellbell - can you not breathe cuz its under your ribs? lol i havent had kids before so im trying to find out as much as possible so i know what to expect.. and happy birthday to your dd for tomorrow, how cute!
ferrals - when are you having your baby girl? i know youve written it somewhere but i forget! how are you feeling?
mildez - how good for not letting the gender slip! does he want to know and you wont tell him or??
is it normal to feel like youve wet your pants?? i have so much discharge?
thopes - 30 days of work left! im so jealous!
im starting to get really tired from being on my feet all day, i might have to buy a stool! i go out the back and sit down for 5 minutes through the day, even that is nice
hi dory! how you goin?
my body pillow is awesome,i use it on the lounge, it just dosent work for me in bed (haha) i read in my little pregnancy book that if you have a glass of warm milk before bed that will "work wonders" so brett gave me some cold milk last night (geez i love him he is so helpful atm) and it did work, i didnt wake up once so that was wicked!
this has taken me about a year to write because i keep making spelling mistakes!! i think today is going to be a dumb day! but i finish work at 2 today yay!!
have a lovely day everyone and sorry to anyone ive missed xxx
just letting you know that ferrals went to hospital last night with a bleed, she will be in for 24hr for observation but it has now calm down to a light bleed - she is in my belly buddies group so thought i would update you here
forshelby - thinking of you in these final days and like everyone says if you don't want to be induced don't be pushed into it
xoxox
Thanks for the update on Ferrals. And Ferrals I'm thinking of you, little Ella and your family. Hope to be reading your BA very soon and all about how gorgeous and perfect Ella is.
Alish no DH doesn't want to know. He wants the suprise at the end.
Ferrals - Omg, I had a look at your video of Ella kicking..... cutest thing I've ever seen. I couldn't help but have a little cry because these moments will be over soon for us. Maybe it was the music. Damn your DH lol. I've just read on further and see you've had a bleed.... I'll be thinking of you today
T-Hopes - I've had crap treatment every single time I've had to go there... it's awful. Mostly it's just the excruciating wait times....... but this time was exceptionally bad. Like I said before though the people on the labour ward etc were lovely when I met them so I'm hoping they'll lift my opinion of the place. At the end of the day I just want my baby out! Good luck to your friend today.... how exciting
Melster - Definitely the last thing we needed getting a parking ticket. I think she's definitely just trying to cover her ass by booking me in so soon to be induced, I haven't had a growth scan or anything like that to see whether or not bubby is still thriving........ she's just decided he/she needs to come out with nothing to back it up. I've made an appointment to have this scan, but am still waiting for the hospital to call me back with an appointment time. If they don't call today I'll be hassling them about it tomorrow. It does make it a bit more real now we have a definite date.
Kellie - No, scan etc is booked for....... well honestly F knows when. I have to chase them up to find out when they can 'fit me in'. Ridiculous. This stuff is important and I'm out of time! Apparently my diabetes is under control and on the borderline of non-existant.. so I don't know what they're fussing about. I feel sorry for your poor ribs, lol.. mine are still copping it a bit from time to time, and my belly has dropped a bit! I think someone has long legs lol. Happy birthday to your gorgeous girl
Alish - You poor thing. I had a bad experience there with my mc in 2008 as well. Waited 5 hours to be seen, and told to go home because they 'had no idea what was going on' and I had my mc at home by myself. I feel bad for the drs.... they're so short staffed. It's not like they WANT to treat us that way, but I totally understand how upsetting it is. About your question, I feel like I've wet my pants quite a lot lol. In fact, I think I actually AM wetting my pants.......
Iona - I'll definitely be doing my research and making sure the right tests are performed. (unless I go into labour before it can be done lol). Thanks so much for updating us on Ferrals, I hope she's doing well.
Ferrals again! - Thanks Ferrals DH. Send her our love!
Dory - Thanks for texting me every day and keeping me company
AFM - Well you've all pretty much heard what's going on with me. I don't want to let them induce me unless there's a good reason, so we'll see how these tests go if I make it to them at all. After I got home from the hospital yesterday I felt quite sore down there.... a lot of pressure when standing etc, and just different in general. I slept VERY well last night which was mostly due to sheer exhaustion, but I just have a weird feeling. Kind of out of sorts.... a litte bit nauseous at times, nothing I can put my finger on really. Oh, and I feel excited again all of a sudden. I think I got all caught up in the 'business' of it all, that I forgot we are having a BABY! And we'll find out if we have a son or a daughter very soon! I got a huge surge of excitement this morning at random, my heart is pounding just thinking about it.
forshelby - you go girl....just remember it's ur body
t-hopes - i'm going good at the business end of things so just waiting now lol besides i still have to finish packing my hospy bag hehehe i'm sure i will be doing it while i am in the beginnings of labour
Well, I have yet another update. The hospital called me back today asking me to come in for my u/s. (kinda short notice, but ok!) I ended up going to a hospital closer to home rather than GCH which was nice as after yesterday I wasn't keen to go back.
Anyway long story short (from what the sonographers told me, they were fairly tight lipped as usual) bubby is looking good, weighing about 8 and a half pounds, and I don't need to worry. One of the ladies asked me when I'll be seeing the hospital/gp again and I said Tuesday. She smiled and said, unless things start happening sooner! Everyone has been saying that to me so I hope that's the case.
I also got a lovely picture of bub in profile, looking SO grown up compared to last scan at 26 weeks. I'm still not sure how I feel about induction, but at the same time...... am starting to warm to the idea of having DP at home with me next week in the lead up to the birth, and not having to stress out about him trying to come home and ditch a fully loaded truck back at work....... the logistics are a nightmare.
Best case I am hoping to go into labour between Saturday afternoon and Tuesday night all by myself. Hehe Oh, and a little sidenote.... TMI WARNING.... I cannot stay away from the toilet today. I've never number 2'ed 3 times in one day. But I think I might today! FX this is the beginning of something. Tomorrow my sister is taking me to do laps at the shopping centre and to eat spicy foods at the same time lol.
Oooh Forshelby! So glad you had a nice scan and especially that it was somewhere other than GCH! Awesome that bub is happy and my fingers are crossed that things happen naturally VERY soon! Ive heard that constant No.2's mean your body is naturally cleaning things out and getting ready for labour - oooh i hope so!!!! Enjoy your spicey foods too! NOw that is gunna make you poo even more! lol!
Glad you got your scan Forshelby - you sound happier today. hope bubs makes an appeareance before your induction
sounds promising with the number twos.
Make sure you get it on with your man as well that will help
Iona laughing at you packing your bag while youre in labour hehe - cant believe your almost 38 weeks wow
Sorry to hear Ferrals you had a bleed. Hope you are okay and ella. I bet you are soooo bored already in hospital. Come online soon we miss you in here already.
i have one excited little girl about her bday tommorow
Ferrals: Hope you are resting comfortably. Excited for you BA. Nice to meet you DH!
Forshelby: Hmmm! Hope baby comes by itself and makes the decision easy for you.
Iona: You've been fairly quiet... I had not realised you are so close to your due date yourself! Any day now for you too!
Alish: Are you uncomfortable from your belly or just can't get comfy in general? I sleep badly early in pg but that seems to be hormonal (I wake lots and dream more). My tummy is still pretty small so i don't think that's the reason for me at this stage (it will be later).
Kell: naughty DS! Let mummy have a breather. Scootch down a little!
Melster: Oh i hope your teeth feel better soon. Sounds like you might need a check up.
Mildez: You are amazing. I'm sure i'd slip up if i knew the gender of my baby!
T-hopes: You are due around the same time as a good friend of mine. I'll be counting down for both of you (about 10wks and a little bit ahead of me).
AFM: Telling more people about the baby but i haven't announced it far and wide at work. I'm sort of waiting til people notice. Not sure why. Depending on what i'm wearing it's not always obvious which i'm surprised about. i thought it would be impossible to hide by now. Have felt a few sensations this week that have made me stop and think: now is that my tummy or could that be... someone else?! I felt my DD by 16wks so i'm hoping this little one is starting to pack some punch.
possums - yeh have been a bit quiet but have been following you all tho
forshelby - oh i know the feeling about the #2's - TMI WARNING i went 4 times in 24hrs the other day which is so unlike me normally it's once a day but with this pregnancy it has been lucky even that. so glad you got to see ur bub again and hopefully the next time you get to see him/her will be when they are in your arms getting newborn cuddles
kell - hope your lil girl has a great bday
afm - not much here just plodding along still lol...
happy birthday to you baby girl kell, i hope she has a great day
possums - im just uncomfortable in general, i had a sh*t sleep last night, woke up at 230 and just layed there, til my alarm went off at 530 and now i have a headache.. i have a sore back and im just feeling crappy!! my belly is starting to show a tiny bit now and im getting little twangs of pain which i presume is stretching? we havent told many people either, just the people who matter! how are you going?
ferrals - hope you and baby ella are doing ok, thanks for the update hubby!
forshelby - oooo sounds like you may get your natural birth after all! have fun shopping & eating spicy foods yay!
iona - get cracking on that hospital bag girl haha!
Hey girls i have the best DH he set up the wireless pre paid internet for me in hospital
I will just post quick for now as i am on a monitor at the moment.
I am here until Ella is born on bedrest with those attractive compression stockings and have a cannula in just in case i need to be rushed into surgery they tried 5 times to get one in end ended up having to have locals to numb my hands as they kept missing my veins so i am black and blue and sore.
I still have very light spotting so the placenta is being a pain and it is also now more to the front so they are talking about having to cut through it to get Ella out which i am scared about but not much i can do.
Anyway my breakky is here so i will pop back in later for persies.
I had a different doctor come see me this morning saying if the bleeding stops tonight i can go home tomorrow.
I am so confused i have had 2 doctors say the placenta is still in a dangerous spot and this risk of hemorrage is really high and i could bleed out in under 10 minutes (great bedside manner) then the doctor who came to see me this morning was all oh no its not as bad now it has moved you could even try for a natural birth HELLO IT'S 8mm AWAY FROM THE CERVIX he said oh you could still hemorrage and might have to have an emergency c section but if you would like to try you can ummmmmmm NO!!!!!! the midwife was horrified when the doctor left she said i have worked here 20 years and i do not agree with what he said it needs to be 3cm away to be safe and you living 30 minutes from the hospital and your last son was born in an hour she said stick with the c section to be safe OMG!!!! do these doctors know what the hell they are doing.
Ferrals~i would get a different dr. I hope that you get to knowing what is going to be going on.
forshelby~ i know the feeling about the number two TMI warning the week before my water broke with Honor i had the thing going on. I hope that things get going before your induction date
I am so exciting for everyone who is going to be having there LO in there arms soon !!!!!!
AFM~ My bf Honor and i went out to lunch yesterday and we had so many people walking by saying how cute she is someone actually thought that she was two weeks old i said no six and a half weeks. I had a good cry i might sound weird becouse i miss being pregnate
Maybe it was the music. Damn your DH lol. I've just read on further and see you've had a bleed.... I'll be thinking of you today
