Ur not crazy!
9 x outta 10 us mums r always right anyway!!! Defo prepare for the induction hun. If beforehand u really dont feel right about anything then u can always get back in contact with the hosp too and even if its just a trace monitoring, they can see how hes doing xxx

Congrats on a fully cooked bump!

I'm tired and fed up, gone from having no appointments to one nearly every other day-only one pregnancy related but still doing my head in having to be all over. The younger 2's dad hasn't had them over night since Easter and isn't having them again this wknd which has been the worst possible time as I could really do with the extra sleep in once a week.
Got to take baby's dad to mental health unit today for clinical diagnosis and I'm really not in the mood to spend time with him today-hes got on every one of my nerves this week.

Wow I can't believe Charlie is fully cooked already, where has that time gone?!

Kanga it's totally understandable why you're thinking that, but try not to worry. They're keeping a close eye on you and baby by the sounds of it so I'm sure all will be fine just a shame that you won't be getting your hb but induction isn't all that bad, honest

Hope today goes ok for you Emma. Xx

I've just called to arrange viewings on two houses today/tomorrow. Also going to head into town after my hair apt and stalk all the estate agents to see what they've got, we WILL find something! OH is majorly stressing bless him, he hates being away, and I've been pressuring him for an answer on whether we accept the offer or not which isn't helping him, but I don't want to drag it out over the weekend, I want it sorted ASAP. I think he thinks we can get a better offer, but this is only £2k less than we wanted so not too far off. And the house two doors down which is the exact same as ours, has been on the market since October with no interest....so we're lucky to even get this I think! Xxx

I am thankful that he is moving quite a bit, I do have my worries that I've not felt him for a bit when doing things but it doesn't take much to get him to move. I'm hoping an induction will go pretty smoothly as I have laboured spontaneously twice, she did say it will be different for me as they won't use gel or pessaries due to my previous section but a folly catheter which is a balloon they put into the cervix and pump up with water. But my cervix maybe favourable to break my waters straight away, so hopefully things would kick off quickly after that. James was born 20mins after my waters went after all lol

Appts are frustrating I've had 4 in the last 3 days and glad to not have one today, but plenty in the next few weeks though. Shame the younger ones Dad isn't having the kids this weekend, hope you get to have a bit of a rest emmam.

Hope the viewings go well for the houses Jenni, I agree with you for wanting to get moving on the offer and 2k isn't much difference to what you wanted. It's great that you have interest yet the other house doesn't, hope things all work out for you xx

I've spent the morning in the hospital. Started with awful pains that doubles me over at 6am and they were no better by 8:30 and I was crying, pliant hasn't felt baby much so I went in. I was on the trace for an hour! They felt my stomach said "feels soft, you're fine" have me some codiene and sent me on my merry way. The codiene has made
Me
Woozy And drunk and feel awful!
They also did s blood test to check for OC and will ring with the results yhidsdyernoon. If they show I have it then they will monitor it and possibly bring baby on Tuesday!

 

[Emmam1982]

Well he finally has a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder, adult adhd and depression. New meds for the depression start today and then therapy should start as soon as referral sorted.
Got the weekend free from appts before mw Monday, family support meeting Tuesday and his fit for work next Thursday...then just speech therapy and counselling the week after and then audiology for my 5 yr old 2 days after d date!
I just want sleep lol x

Tuesday! Bloody hell Jojo! You'll be cooked by then won't you? Good they are keeping an eye on things and not just dismissing it out of hand.

I'm fully cooked tomorrow, seems sooo weird that babies can start arriving from now!

Went to a baby sling library this morning as going to get a sling when baba is here so can carry and be hands free. They were all lovely and I had a go tying a sling on with a doll baby in it, seemed really simple (with some practice) so really looking forward to going back and hiring one to try for a couple of weeks before committing to purchasing one. Can't believe I'm getting so excited about a piece of fabric!

It's scary isn't it? I was expecting time to slow down a bit but this week has flown by, can't believe it's the weekend again already, my lazy day tomorrow then Sunday will be here and il be 38 weeks then kids will be back at school again and then the cycle starts again. Weird thinking that baby could be here this time next week for any of us x

 

[Eaw123]

Baby a bit quiet today. I've had a lazier day than normal, went to a friend for lunch and movie and I had a lie in. Baby has been moving but not as much as normal. Currently Lied out on sofa to see if it'll pick up.

 

[Jojo84]

The early section was only if I had OC as it can lead to serious health issues if left including still birth. Luckily I came out clear for that so won't be having baby Tuesday (Tuesday was because that's the day I'm 37w)

Codeine is kicking My ass! I have one more hour before I have to get son ready for bed and I can relax. Hubby went to work at 3:30 and I've had awful cramps and back pain since but we'll see. Ok
So tired!!

 

[kanga86]

Glad the test came back clear for OC jojo, although not so fun being in pain.

Hope baby has got a wriggle on for you eaw123?

Good news emmam that your oh has been given a diagnose and he can now get the help he needs. I have 2 appts next week, 2 the week after and the week after is my next scan.

I've seriously over done the manic sorting out today as I suddenly feel as though I could have next to no time to get organised. Washed all the baby newborn and 0-3 clothes today plus bagged up a load of clothes ready to take to one of those cash for clothes places. Just need to fold the baby clothes and out them in the drawers I've cleared in our bedroom (no space for any in nursery). Pgp is killing me now and I'm contemplating painkillers, but think I will wait til hubby is home incase they knock me out as I feel sleepy anyway xx

Baby has had a roll and a little wiggle. Not as active as normal. But is moving. I'm bouncing on my ball as we speak. Must be having a lazy day like its mother

 

[babyslog]

9 times outta 10 babas r just having a lazy day.

But reduced movement isnt no movement at all hun, its a change in their normal pattern. Speah at this point in pregnancy too, its defo worth a trip to mat ward.

So if u dnt think baby is being as active as normal thats classed as RM. Ive not had this issue this pregnancy, Charlie hurts ALOT lol.

Butni went up 6-7 times with my 1st and the Assessment Unit were always so lovely and reassuring.nid just be popped on the trace monitor for half hr or so.
He always came alive the moment i stepped foot in the hosp lol! But i'd rather be safe and check xxx

 

[Eaw123]

Baby is back to its normal self. Feet in my ribs and wriggling away thankfully.

 

[babyslog]

Aw gd xx

 

[Jojo84]

My baby is back to
Movement too, it's not quite as much as it was but I've had
My trace and she is right underu placenta which could explain it.

I was told to take it easy but i had to do some - just left the duplo for hubby to pick up when he gets in with my milk and cookies from work

 

[Emmam1982]

Baby's dad just rang me, he's took his first tablet a few hours ago (supposed to be at bedtime but he took it at 6-7pm due to not sleeping for weeks and feeling tired) and basically he is off his head, hes slept for 3-4 hours solid, woke up and went down to use the bathroom and could hardly walk, had to sit to pee and he said he feels really drunk. He's going back to sleep now but I'm now petrified of going into labour at night! How the hell can he be a good birth partner if he's off his head on anti depressants?

 

[babyslog]

Aw em i disnt realise he was guna be there for the birth!!
Aww dear!

 

[Emmam1982]

Aww dear!

Yeah I said from it all kicking off that I would still want him at the birth, we want to make a go of things eventually but it's just a long process. I couldn't imagine having anyone else with me, my sister is taking us on when I need to go as he cant drive which tbh is a good job if this is what the meds are doing to him. I'm praying the side effects wear off quickly x

 

[babyslog]

Hopefully u wont go anytime soon and his body quickly adapts to the meds xx
