Yes I have a list of strategies Leanne, andI'll write you a list tomorrow - I've been up 3 days now and I don't see any respite tonight......
leanne i did read a thread in here somewhere about psoriasis treatments could be in medical conditions and yep i reckon flare ups could have something to do with stress hope you find something to clear it up
Oh Kim you poor thing. Phernergan? /helped Katy out when she was sick.
Thanks Shazz, I will have a look
morning all just popping in to see if Sara has gone good luck todday hun
Morning girls!
Still bloody here! Not showing any signs of labour either. This is just getting so frustrating. Surely i have to have had the baby by the end of the weekend. I really want to avoid an induction at all cost but if next wednesday comes and i still have'nt had bubs i will be there with bells on.
Quite shockingly Brent was very willing to DTD lastnight. I think he wants to get this baby out as much as i do now. I was shocked. I really expected his to say no when i asked if he wanted to DTD. Earlier on in the night he asked if i thought anything was going to happen tonight. I said i was having a few contractions but was'nt timing them and i did'nt know. I said to him "Why?" He said "Just wondering!!" WTF???? This was so totally out of line for him. So yeah he must be getting impatient too.
I had an pretty good sleep. No pains at all through the night. A few when i got up thismorning but more period pain like that contractions. I am quite tired thismorning though. I did plan to do a few things around the house like ironing, washing and a few outdoor activites but i am feeling too tired. I think a good walk around outside fixing up the chooks, dogs and goose's waters will do me good. Its overcast here but and not really appealing!!
Briley is ok. Still has a runny nose and a terrible cough. I have got a cough too now. Briley has really gone off her food the last few days too. She only picks at things and will only eat things that she likes which are normally snacky things. I am pumping the fluids into her though. So cause of her cold she missed DC today and if she is not sick will have a "make-up" day tomorrow. I still have to pay if she does'nt go.
Well Shazz...this is the last guess for you today huh!!!! We have until 12.00am. I am going to try a bit of nipple stimulation today and see if that gets things going. I really think baby should be out by the end of the weekend. Fingers crossed.
Hope you are all well....
BBL
Oh and....
I'M DUE TOMORROW!!!!!!
well come on lol you only have 14 .5 hours till my guess doesn't count so please bubba come out and play
any way off to the dentist ouch i hate dentists
GL at the dentist today Shazz.
I can't even remember the date I guessed now Sara. Hopefully it is by the end of the weekend for you honey.
Who was talking about Phnergen. I think I am going to try some soon if Lachlan's sleeping patterns do not get any better!
Wade went and slept in the other bed last night, was sick of hearing me coughing I think and said he can't afford to get sick as well! I understand but geez, bit of sympathy would be nice too :(
My glad underneath my arm is still sore, but not as bad as yesterday.
vic - my sister didn't have her first hair cut til she was 4 years old, we are very slow at growing hair! I think it will be quite a while before Archie needs to go to the hairdresser! Does Mel like getting her hair cut? Sorry to hear that Adam is keeping you both up at night, that is so frustrating and everything always seems worse at night too.
sheree - oh no! you just reminded me that the bath is full of pooey water and toys....bugger! im so sorry your cold is still awful, sounds like we have identical colds, but having it whilst g must be awful you can't even take cold and flu tablets, they are all that is keping me sane, is there anything that you are taking/doing to help ease the symptoms?? I really do hope it gets beeter quickly. I remember the sore glands during early pg, i put it down to growing boobs, gosh i hope mine don't grow again next pg! Love the new pic of Lachlan, very cute. DH nearly slept in the lounge last night too cause of my fever and snoring with my blocked up head! being sick sucks
christine - thanks for your sympathy, DH is pretty good at looking after me, not as good as a woman would but pretty good for a man he he. I can't believe your daughter is so big already! Its great that she has a goal to work towards for the next couple of years.
leanne - i can't believe the run of sickness' you have had lately you poor things!! Archie was waking up 6 times a night for a while there, so i bought a polar fleece sleeping bag suit and put a little column heater in his room and he has prety much slept through ever since, hope Katy's wakefullness is as easily cured! Sorry i don't have any suggestions for the psoarisis but i do know how embarrassing it can be to have snowy shoulders sometimes.
kim - you poor thing, i wish i could give you a magic recipe for sleep! i agree with Leanne i have heard that Phenergan is great just to help break the cycle of sleeplessness, its very personal as to whether or not to use drugs to gain some sleep, i personally will do ANYTHING to get sleep and would definately try a night on Phenergan (i realise it depends on the illness though...) anyway goodluck i hope something works soon. sorry for the rambleing
sara - oh you must be soooo close now! Thank god for inductions is all i can say, I was going completely made when i watched my due date come and go with no sign of labour at all. i didn't end up needing the induction, i went into labour only minutes before they inserted the gels! there is hope for you yet!
shazz - goodluck at the dentist
i didn't know a cold could cause so much pain and discomfort! I have been a person who rarely gets sick so this cold is really knocking me around, you would think that after going through pg, labour, birth and bfing a cold would be a walk i the park, but oh no, not for this sooky la la. DH bought me some cold and flu tablets last night and he had to produce photo I.D. and answer a set of questions on why he wanted the tablets! WTF!!! What is our world coming to???
Hi girls,
Been quiet in here today! Hope you are all well.
Well Brent's aunty just left after giving me a all body massage with focus on my pressure points. She is a remedial massage therapist so she know how it all works. I don't normally like massages and today i found it why!!! It hurt!! Esp my back and neck. I suppose cause all the muscles were tense.
So if the massage worked...i should go into labour in the next 24 hours!!!! Imagine....a due date baby!!!
Shazz - I am trying mate!!! Everyone wants this baby out now!! Esp me! Starting to get some period type pain since the massage. Fingers crossed it worked!
lol the count down is on sara 5 hours 40 mins Hmmmmm
Good luck Sara hopefully the massage worked! One of us has to be right on the date LOL
Kim hope you are getting some sleep, I have to say that tresillian did work wonders for Riley and he has slept 7- 7.30ish ever since which has made a huge difference to my life but then again its not for everyone and it was pretty confronting at first.
Thanks girls. She's only sleeping so badly because she's really unwell, and getting MORE teeth farout. WHy couldn't she pace it out instead of getting every single one in 2 weeks???
Sara I was thinking about you today. Remember when we thought this baby was going to be born really early. I'm so glad that didn't happen for you.
Poor Elissa :hug: Yes you're right. Being sick sucks.
Those underarms sound a bit nasty Sheree. How cool is that picture of Lachlan?
How did the dentist go Sheree?
Nursing's not a bad profession Christine. Tell her I'll be cheering her on.
Leanne, yes psoriasis is caused by stress. I have tried everything to get rid of mine and really the only thing that works is eating well (lots of whole unprocessed fresh foods) and drinking lots of water. I have tried every tar shampoo, but didn't find any to be of benefit.
My Dad swears by head and shoulders, but I don't see any different.
Crushed aspro made into a paste and rubbed in 10 minutes before washing out - didn't work for me.
1000mg flaxseed oil 3 times daily (did work well for me) - but took a while
Sun and saltwater always help too.
On the rest of your body, I've tried lanolin, sorbolene, and most other things that say they work. I now use a product called Derm-aid when it flares up and always use a moisturiser our of the shower and sunscreen. The Derm-aid has steroid in it, but a mild enough dose to still use whilst BF.
I don't wash Darcy in anything by J&J and I never ever use soap. I have to wear gloves for contact with any chemicals too.
How did the dentist go Shazz.
Gawd Kim and Leanne this condition sounds nasty, you poor things.
Comon bubba!
Thanks for you comments on lachlan's pic, he is my gorgeous little man.
Well my gland under my right arm is only sore to touch today which is a big improvement on yesterday, thank god! It was so sore, even without touching it. Still feel miserable, and I am considering going to bed very very soon! Just exhausted. I even felt a bit nauseas this afternoon, like the big breathe nauseas and having to sit down. Please don't tell me ms has started already. I am hoping it is all related to my cold, as is my terrible back pain. Really weird. I just want to get rid of this cold! I even had a rest with Lachlan this arvo and I never do that! So glad I didn't have to work, I don't think I could have done it.
Alright nighy nite ladies.
of coruse the dentist was a horrowing experience but i was brave and faced my demons and now have a filling and a quote for another $1161 worth of work so every friday for the next 2 months are booked up in the dentist chair lucky me
head and shoulders works for me Kim if i use cheap shampoo i certainly know about it
ETA hope you feel better sheree
4 Hours 2 mins Sara :pray:
hahahaha, You made me smile Shazz.
(that does suck about the dentist though)
OMG I just posted a huge post with personals and everything and managed to lose it. I am so p#ssed off with myself i am going to bed. Sorry.
LOL Shazz!!! I'm sorry hun but some how i don't think i am going to go into labour and give birth in that short amount of time!!! Go on have another guess!! He he! Maybe your size guess will be right!
Not sure if it was from the S&S but i am getting a bloody tinge to my discharge. Its getting darker and darker everytime i go to the loo. Proabably is just from the S&S. I have been getting some good irregular contractions this afternoon and tonight. Man i hope i wake up in the early hours with strong REGULAR contractions that DON'T stop!!
Well i am off to bed girls. Just had a nice hot shower and scalded the hell out of my belly cause it was so itchy. Its the only relief i get. To burn the itchyness away. Better rub some cocoa butter on it too i suppose!
Fingers crossed i have some nice exciting news for you all to wake up too!
Ni night ladies.
lol i had ryan in 2 hours 10 mins There is Time i tell ya lol
hahahahaha!!!
Ok i'll do the best i can Shazz!!!
but in the off chance that your bubba doesn't do as he is told (which i hate to tell you is a boy thing from my experience )
My new AND FINAL guess is the 3rd of august at 8.45pm weight of 8 lb 12 oz and he is a boy and as we all know from now my guesses are usaully waaaaaay off
but heres hoping now get to bed miss you are going to need all the strength you can muster for a little later ( or maybe tomorrow )
ETA bugger christine i hate it when that happens hope you get a good night tonight
WEll my nana rang and I didn't get what I wanted to get done and go to bed early, and I am still up, actually feeling a little better Whahooo....
Wade is again sleeping in the other room, doesn't want to catch it off me, which is disappointing but he has taken the monitor, Whahooo, I get another night off! Lachlan hasn't woken yet and he normally has atleast once by now and he went to bed at 7pm.
Gosh expensive dentist bills hey Shazz.
Bugger Christine about your post.
And ohhh boy, and I want to go naturally this time, all this tooing and throwing in labour, maybe not, in labour, maybe not, don't know how you do it Sara. Maybe I will just elect to have another caesar, but I sooo want to atleast be given the chance to experience labour this time.
Hehe Shazz, too right there, def a boy thing, my boy didn't know how to come out the right way and I was nearing my due date and I had no signs whatsoever of pre-labour and I only had my caesar 4 days early.
Ok i off to bed now!!!
Sending myself massive LV's!!!!
Ni night everyone!
GL Sara.
Thought I’d get in and catch up quickly. Em has been sick the poor little tacker and has been lots of hard for me. I haven’t been allowed on the computer much at all. Will try and quickly catch up on personals…
Sheree – Love the new ticker ;) Congrats again on the pregnancy. I’m sure everything will be fine. I know it’s a big decision for you to do shared care and I’m positive it will be a good experience for you. I hope there is two in there lol how exciting :D
Vic – YAY for the first hair cut! How cute! Em is needing another already and this will be his third.
Sara ~ Sorry I couldn’t post your news the other day – I was at uni! I did text everyone in my phone though lol which happened to be Shazz and Sheree. Hope that S&S does something soon!
Ellissa ~ Bloody Optus maintenance!! You poor thing being sick I hope you’re feeling better soon! Ewwww at the poo story lol! What a crap day that was for you!
Shazz ~ OUCH at the dentist and OMG at the bill!
Christine ~ OMG @ Jess choosing her year 11/12 subjects! That is scary! Hope you have fun at kindy! Buggar about losing your post :(
Leanne ~ I didn’t get a chance to post before but I’m really glad that you have stayed. I hope things start improving from here on in and even if it doesn’t please know that we’re all here for you! :hug: I can’t believe you can get study leave!! Have they not replaced her at all?? Have you tried Selsun at all? You can rub it straight onto the scalp and leave it for 5 before washing it out. I have no idea what it does to colour though.
Kim ~ Buggar at Darcy giving you trouble lately. I know what you mean about the teeth though. Em has cut another one this week which I’m sure made him sicker yet again!
Well I am stuffed and off to bed. Was going to say more about me but really nothing interesting is going on. I am looking for a new place now because I decided the best thing to do for Em and I was to get a smaller, cheaper place. There is only the two of us and managing a smaller place would make my life easier. Other then that same old same old!
Morning girls,
Well nothing amazingly interesting happened overnight except for a few strong pains which lead to nothing. Thismorning i have woken again to pains and am feeling a constant need to do a #2. The pains are pretty strong and i think they might be upsetting my bowel.
To make things worse i have caught a cold from Briley and its all in my throat. So i have swollen tonsils and lots of crap all over them. I think i might just take something for it. At 40 weeks surely it can't do too much harm to the baby. I might try some of the throat gargle too. I was saying to Brent yesterday, I wonder what they do when mothers are sick when they give birth??? Would'nt they make the baby sick?? I really have to get rid of it today.
Nat - Nah thats cool hey. Thanks very much for all your help. I've noticed you have'nt been on a bit lately so i kinda know you must be busy. Thanks again.
Well i am off to try and do something about labour and my throat!!!
BBL
i'm out for the day today but any news text me pleaseeee best of luck today sara masive amounts of gentle LV coming your way
Ok girls, this is it.
Contractions are coming hard and fast now. They are lasting between 30secs to 1 mins and are about 1/12 - 2 mins apart. I am freakin out. They should'nt be coming this close together already. I only had my first real contraction at about 7.30am!
Ok girls, i am going offline now. I only have dial-up so i can't keep the internet running.
Looks like i might have my due date baby. The contractions are really starting to hurt.
Shazz i will text you and let you know what happens.
Thanks for all your support throughout this pregnany girls. I really appreciate it.
Hopefully i WONT be back later.
Love ya's!
Ohhh YAY Sara!!! I can't wait to hear the news!!! You go girl!!!
I'll be waiting alllllll day lol! Sending you lost of labour vibes!!!
xoxo
sara - i am sooo excited for you, hope that bubby is already out and you are up and about.
sheree - hope the m/s hasn't started alredy for you.
nat - sorry to hear that Em has been sick, it seems everyone is sick atm must be that time of year. i agree with you moving to a smaller cheaper place is a great idea, sometimes i regret buying this house cause with the money we are paying we could be renting a bigger nicer place in a nicer area, oh well, gotta love hindsight hey! Hope Em is feeling better tommorrow.
I am feeling a bit better headache is hadly there now just blocked sinus' and sore throat and tiredness. Arch has been a bit cuddly and tired i hope he's not getting what i've got, would be a miracle if he didn't though. he has turned into a little clown! Yesterday afternoon he spent hours and hours just doing thing t try and make me laugh (of course it worked! he he) he is turning into a little show off, DH has always been into acting, singing and stand up comedy so im betting Archie will be a chip off the old block! Oh no im losing my voice....archie's gonna love that
how exciting hope sara is labouring away nicely and soon have bub to cuddle ( i'm so jealous )
Just got a text from Sara and I will type as she has texted it:
Hey hun. Tell Shazz I lost her number. Sorry to her. Its a girl. Colby Jayne Harvey. 9lbs7oz 52cm. Born at 2.44pm. First contraction was at 7.30am. Had to have surgery. Cord snapped. Lost lots of blood. Ok now. Colby beautiful and breast feeding. I very tired.
Congrats to you Sara, fantastic news.
I am surprised Sara sent such a detailed text what a trooper she is! And what a big girl! She has certainly been through the ringer with her bub but so glad she finally has her big girl in her arms. I am sure she can now see how it was all worth it now.
Enjoy your baby girl Sara. xoxo
Oh wow how exciting for Sara and Brent and Briley!! I said girl too!!!!!
Oh congratulations Sara!!!! What a gorgeous name for what I'm sure is a gorgeous bub!!!! Glad to hear everything is okay now!
Fantastic news.
Colby is a big baby! Wonder what size Briley was?
Hope they are both doing well....
Hugs to you Sara!
And congrats to you, Brent & Briley!!!
:dance:Woooohooo Sara, Brent and Briley welcome Colby :dance:
Well no M/S today at all. Yay!
Still don't feel the best with this darn cold though. I even woke this morning with conjunctivitis! Grrrr..... My eyes were stuck together, bloody shot and stinging. Ouch. But seeing as it is highly contagious, I rang a Womens Health hotline as I was concerned about our growing baby. But no all is good, she said that the baby was protected. So I am very pleased, I was a bit concerned initially. The nurse/midwife was so nice I was so pleased I rang her because I then chose to speak to her about my cold and she suggested that it may of been viral but appears to be bacterial now and I should go back and have a chat to the doctor (which I will do on Monday if I am no better)
Went back to the doctors surgery this arvo to collect my HCG levels and they hadn't come back yet, so have to go back on Monday anyway and collect them.
Gee I am soooo happy for Sara. Whahooo.....
COngratulations and great job Sara!! Colby is a lovely name. Good luck with your feeding too hun!!!
Absolutely massacred - will be back to do personals tomorrow - just had to check on our baby!
