Really sorry to hear your endo is giving you pain again, especially so soon after giving birth. I at least had a few pain-free months after giving birth before my pains started up again. :hug: Perhaps you could have the endo burnt off with lasers? I didn't have that treatment myself, but...

My Favourite Game by The Cardigans. I've got to dash, so I'll let someone else set the next one.

Thanks nikki :)

No, my platelet levels in my blood are dropping rapidly, which can be a danger to both the baby and me, apparently, so they said if I haven't had it early they will induce me on my due date.

I hope it'll be me!!! If it isn't here by Sunday I'm being induced, and after the horror stories I've heard I really don't want that to happen. I'm doing all I can think of to persuade it to come along naturally, but time is running out!

Our health visitors advise against swaddling, due to the risk of overheating.

I've never heard of that before. In what way is it meant to upset them?

Aw, hun. I sympathise, with my first I was in slow labour for 10 days. I know it's difficult, but try to get as much rest as possible now, as you'll need all your energy for labour and afterwards. Try to get a bit of sleep in between contractions if you can, and although you may not feel like...

Cloughie signing in. Feeling contented but impatient!

Cassi, I can only tell you my own experience - I had exactly the same last PG, I finally delivered 10 days later. Hope your LO comes soon!

Well, I rang the consultant's secretary, she was really understanding, and said she could see why I was concerned. She said she would pass the message on to the consultant. A couple of hours later she rang back and said that the consultant waned to see me that afternoon! I went down there and...

That is so true. The registrar wanted to put me on a monitor for 20 minutes today, because the baby had been moving less recently. The midwife on duty started pulling faces and muttering under her breath because she wanted to go home instead. Then she asked me if I would go to the hospital...

Thanks laura and yvonne. The thing that worries me most is that they seemed so concerned last week, and now they barely acknowledged the problems. I don't know whether I should be worried or not. I barely slept last night worrying about today's appointment. This evening I know nothing more...

...but once again I didn't get to see the consultant, I was fobbed off with one of her members of staff. Didn't go as well as I'd hoped. First of all I turned up at 3pm for my appointment and was kept waiting until 5pm before I got to see anyone. :evil: When I did finally get in, it was a...

22nd October for me, unless they decide to induce me next week (eek!)
