July 2011 Babies

Sorry to hear about your troubles LBP. Hope it gets better soon.

My appointment was pretty crap TBH. Waited for ages, they were grumpy old woman I left feeling like crap and annoyed i even went. I just got tested for a UTI

Ive been such a grump today, DD has been a handful and painted her room with POO. So ive had a cry & laugh now i just want to sleep lol

Jax is your referral to talk about C sec. Do you know if they will give you one? or can they decline?

Hey ladies, bubs is still really low and not moving much at all. Got stuck on the loo at work, everytime I got up I felt a strong urge to pee again. Was in there for half an hour! Then spent the rest of the arvo trying not to wet myself. Charming.

Sorry to everyone whos having a down week. Lots going on!

Bec, I highly recommend a massage. Make sure they have a preggie chair or bed though before you book, lying on your side just dosent cut it! The lady I see is only $35 for a half hour. And its totally worth it (unless we gossip through the whole session then I feel like I havent had one at all)

At my last MW appointment, she asked if we wanted to choose the date and be enduced. She was all pro being enduced anytime after 37 weeks. DF was all on for it to as he is away most of the week days but still... Hello!! Im here and Im the one giving birth and I dont want it to be full on intence from the start! Thought this was a bit odd...

I have mw today too. My baby was head down at the scan on Wednesday, they said she could still move but it's normally a good sign. My mw examined me before I went to the hospital and she couldn't tell which way baby was and OB that examined me couldn't either, guess at this stage they are still relatively small so must be hard to tell.
I've got pain kind of under my bump, which is worse when I'm on my feet for a while, is it that sort of pain sms? or is it more the bowling ball between the legs sort?

Meggiomoo I personally wouldn't be getting induced unless it's totally necessary, often induction leads to other forms of intervention so why risk that if it's not 100% needed?

So tired, up 3 times to pee, once for an aftershock (which woke the kids up too) and then again at 5 to resettle little one. All that on top of not being able to get to sleep cos I was so uncomfy. On my second coffee already

i am with everyone on the rough night. DS2 getting rest of molars, DH grumpy cause he had to resettle DS2 a few times (so did i and not to mention that i will be the one up heaps ina couple of months time)... then it was the hosp visit yesterday that dragged on... i knew i wasnt in labour and baby is breech so there was no effacement or engagement yet but they had to be sure. ended up being put down as my IBS and UTI history all playing silly buggers with my uterus. Oh so much farkin fun! not fair and am so over this pregnancy already. the other two pregnancies i had so much excitement and this one is so different. maybe i need to refocus and start thinking that i am enjoying it and trick my mind....

ok vent over. DS's went to a friends house at 7am so that she could drop them off to daycare today as am too sore to drive anywhere. its nice having friends like that :)

off back for a morning nap. traffic really busy outside so dont know how much will be slept thru... need an energiser i think? If only there was V drink for preggers lol

That's kinda random Meegiemoo. I mean, I guess in a sense it's the same as picking the date and going for an elective c-section but it's also really quite not. Somebody mentioned earlier that being induced increases the chances of needing some other intervention. I have heard that too, and that each intervention you need increases the chances that you'll need the next one. Did she go through the pros and cons with you and your partner? Or did she just put it out there as an option that she was keen on? I wonder if SMS is onto something, maybe she wants it out before her holiday!

2bnb, sorry to hear you're so uncomfortable. Given that, I can totally understand why you might be ready for this to be all over. Let us know if you manage to talk yourself into enjoying it, we may need strategies if we go 2 weeks overdue going stir-crazy at home and just can't wait to meet baby.


Lexi, that totally sux about your wallet. Lucky there was no money in it but TOTALLY frustrating to have to cancel all your cards and stuff. Don't forget to do things like library cards and video cards. That can get expensive. Thieves can be so daring can't they, you think you'd be okay right up a long driveway. You hear stories about people being burgled while they're in the house (upstairs in bed usually) and the burglers aren't usually even in any great hurry, leisurely loading stuff into the car and helping themselves to food and drink etc. Totally freaky!

I working from home today. Network playing silly buggers with me so not achieving as much as I'd like. That and I'm sitting here looking around at the clothes rack with hubby's shirts on it and the clothes basket full of clothes that need ironing and the pile of clothes on the couch that needs folding and the pile of dishes on the bench that need washing... I've been really struggling to care about work since the day I found out I was pregnant. My care cup is getting emptier and emptier and I still have 4.5 weeks to go. Still, I guess if that's my biggest complaint I'm pretty lucky.

My Midwife appointment went well. I got given a fair amount of info today. Vitamin K info. Has anyone thought about what they are going to do yet?

Also MW tried to tell me to get flu jab, hehe was kind of funny i just said NO.

I am so worn out. Seems i getting way more tired than DD now Although ive caved and let her watch Dora so she hopefully falls asleep just so i can nap

Has anyone come across a good hospital list of things you will need?

I'm just getting so excited about meeting this new baby now I'm passed 30 wks! I keep forgetting about the labour bit but I think thats my way of being positive and not letting myself worry

Seem to be only getting up once a night for toilet visits which is nice. Always pleasently surprised if I sleep through, bit like when DS started to sleep through the night (didnt happen a lot until he was after one year). Just got given a bag of maternity clothes from a friend so its nice to be able to add to my limited wardrobe

I am about to make some orange marmalade muffins...got given a cupcake and muffin recipe book for mothers day so keen to start trying some out

SMS, I have what I think is a similar problem, it is to do with the ligament holding the pelvis together. I have a referral for physio to get a brace (you can buy them online but are free and fitted for you at physio.
Big hugs to the other people having crappy times. Very true whoever said when it rains it pours! Well I guess things can only get better!

MrsFred i would come with you! (if we were the same area) That sounds like an awesome idea and right up my alley on things to do... better than being boozy and having kids, it really doesnt mix at all! my good time is just a really good gossip session and a meal, but might look into that ceramic thing in Palmy... i think you are great for organising it and whoever doesnt turn up then thats there beef not yours and at least the ones that do go are really wanting to be there.... have you given plenty of notice to them? sometimes it is hard to organise and rsvp to something that is coming up but if there has been some warning then yeah he $15-30 shouldnt be toooooo much of an issue either.

Gripe away, thats what i like about this forum lol

lhw- great to hear that you most prob have a place to move into! Must be a relief for you!!!
Mrs Fred- I never get invited to anything anymore!!!! I have quite a social group of mates and before i got pregnant we used to out for dinner heaps, now I hear of them all going out and their reasons for not asking me is always " Oh well you can't drink, and you get tired". Pisses me off because I really like food and so what if i can't drink. Still able to talk and have fun!!!

Had a little freak out this morning when i went to bathroom. I wiped (sorry TMI) and had tiny red spot of blood. Not 100% sure if was coming from my vagina as I had some discharge at the same time and the blood was like a little further 'back' if you know what i mean. Maybe popped a blood vessel or something??? Totally gone now, but that sight of red freaked the sh*t outta me. Anyone had anything like this ?
Rang my MW and just have to keep an eye on it and make sure I don't have any pain etc.

Sooooo tired after teaching my 2 BodyPump classes yesterday and 1 at lunchtime today. Worked at gym for 11.5 hours yesterday too and same again today, tomorrow and friday. Doing 7 days this week. Can't WAIT till the owner gets back next week.
