Do you have to stay at the hospital? Mum's coming with me to keep me company.

 

[dizzybaby]

Yep you can't walk around at all I was going to walk down to the hospital shop and wasn't even allowed to do that

 

[3lilmonsters]

Morning ladies hope your all well, I'm off to my gp today with this pain the medication I was given by the on call doctor isn't working it just makes me feel spaced out . Anybody doing much today xx

 

[dizzybaby]

Back at work for me today - waiting on the GTT results I'm too impatient for this waiting haha god help me when I'm waiting for labour!

Working but taking a sofa break as I'm really tired! I wanted to go home at 2pm but I had a call arranged and it took over an hour had a bit of a second wind but I'm struggling again

 

[dizzybaby]

My GTT results came back positive - I am beyond devastated everything I wanted for my birth is gone now and I am just terrified for what's going to happen - absolutely gutted

 

[mrs nel]

Oh dizzy, so sorry hun. Do you need to take medication to monitor it?

Today has been such a productive day for our house! The spare bedroom furniture is now away to the charity shop, the decorator has been in and measured up, my father in law has been down and measured up for the new skirting boards and door faces we need! Then I picked up a big order from mothercare! including the microwave steriliser and the breastpump! Plus the stesteriliser actually fits in the microwave!
How are you all? Xx

 

[3lilmonsters]

Don't worry hun it's not that bad, you will have regular scans and be seen more often. I understand your upset but who knows you might not have been able to have a home birth anyway but you can have a water birth or something else in hospital take things that remind you of home xx

 

[3lilmonsters]

I'm good thanks Lynne my gp confirmed I have sciatica and thinks it may be spd got to check with my consultant on Monday oh the joys, she thinks it's come about due to my illness so hopefully all should go back to normal once little Madame is here xx

 

[dizzybaby]

3lm - have been told no way I'm allowed in the midwife unit so not even a water birth - I'm absolutely gutted.

I'm not sure on how they're going to handle it she didn't go into that much detail cos she knew I was just too gutted about the birth because I wanted as intervention free as possible. We're going to the hospital to see a specialist on Friday at 11.30 now to find out the proper details

 

[3lilmonsters]

Aww no hun sorry I didn't realise that aww bless xx

 

[Pixel]

Sorry dizzy that's awful news! What are the next steps for you? X

 

[mrs nel]

Oh dizzy I can see why you'd be upset hun. Im dreading going for mine.

Leanne hope you are feeling better! x

 

[naomi88]

Aw dizzy I'm so sorry how rubbish. Does the hospital not have any birthing pools?

Hopefully they will offer more positive information at your next appointment so you understand where you start a bit more.
Xxx

 

[dizzybaby]

They have pools but only in the midwife led bit and cos I'm high risk now I can't go in there

Next steps is to meet with a diabetes midwife on Friday to discuss what it means for me as well as for the birth.

I know I just need to suck it up and get over it cos there's nothing I can do but I'm just so distraught. Im terrified for her safety and the birth now - just can't comprehend what it all means for her and me? I just had this vision of birthing her and now I can't see anything but a complete car crash it's just so upsetting.

 

[3lilmonsters]

Aww hun I really feel for you but aslong as she is ok and comes out healthy that's a blessing xx

 

[naomi88]

Aw hun try not to stress, as hard as that is. It's not a very uncommon condition and so doctors and midwives are used to dealing with it successfully. As much as you didn't want a hospital birth, this way you will have lots more expertise available to you
Xxx

 

[dizzybaby]

I knows it's just the feeling like everything I'd hoped for has been snatched away from me

It's the risk too that she might need special care when she's born so even having her will be terrifying in case she's not ok - I think in the back of my mind I know of course there's always a risk of something not going to plan or something being wrong with her but to have that knowledge now of what risk that is is just too scary for me to handle tonight - hoping it will seem better in the morning think I just need to get it out of my system

 

[Gillyboos]

Sorry to hear your birth can't be what you wanted dizzy
