whats an inversion? Am i missing something lol?

 

[Doob]

That's outrageous newbie! I'd write and complain to NCT too, I get that students need practice but they also need to know the facts! What a waste of your time and money

I'm not feeling at all well today, very tired and nauseous, though the cramps have eased a bit thankfully! Think I might just go back to bed.

On another note, has anyone been taking raspberry leaf capsules? Mine say take two tablets a day (750mg) does that sound about right? I'm also trying to decide whether to get another pack of preg multi vitamins+omega 3 or not, just run out today. Are you ladies still taking them? Xx

i asked MW yesterday if i should still take vitamins, she said yes and throughout breast feeding too. I stopped taking the omega 3 ones after a few months and just am on regular pregnacare.

Doob, i'm tempted to write in but im not sure there is much they will do! I felt for her as she was a student but she should have been supervised.

 

[Doob]

Yeah it's a tough one she should have been supervised but you paid a lot of money for it too. A shame really.
I might go order some more vitamins then if they're recommended. My mw hasnt even asked meif I was taking anything after 12w x

I'm still taking the pregnacare with omega 3. Just ordered another box. Amazon has a good price with free delivery. X

I would complain Hun. I complained about an nct water birth class and got a refund! Def worth letting them know. X

Bottom above hips position to try and turn baby. I have stupidly been doing it for 20 mins at a time and nearly passing out. You're meant to do it for 30 secs! I must have read 20 mins somewhere but it's really tough! 30 secs more frequently is the best way!! x

Maybe you could write it with an angle of sympathy towards the student being left on their own without obvious support which was needed and consequently you felt very ill informed?

I was a good girl and went and ordered more vitamins from amazon. Hopefully LO will be here by the time I'm done with that pack eek! x

I've just spotted this, Hun how did you manage it? Was it all in one go? I'm surprised you didn't end up in a & e. x

I had to raise myself half way through and felt guilty as thought I was not doing it right for baby! It was very hard though. Felt really sick. So glad i don't have to do it that long anymore!!

Newbie, doors suggestion is good, a) you paid for a pointless class and b) they should not leave a student teacher to do such an important one off class!

Doob I'm taking that exact dose of RLT, midwife said I could prob up it if i wanted but I'm happy enough. I'm still taking my tesco all in multivitamin which have folic acid and omega 3 also cos I want iron and vit d. Mw appt today and I'm 3/5 engaged whoop whoop! She said he's very low, tried a sweep but cervix still far back so I said not to bother. She reckoned sooner rather than later but planned a sweep again for next Friday cos really who knows! Had a fab first day on nat leave, the gorgeous weather helped and the fact that DH has put up birthing pool

What an awful day..
Bare with me.. I may waffle..
I had my 36 week appointment this week.. Went on my own as OH works an hour away as a teacher.. Nd I didn't see the point in him missing 3 hours for a fifteen minute appointment. Well I measured the same as last time, (33cm) and I've had less then normal movement so my MW packed me off to triage.
And I'm now an emotional wreck at the best of times so I rang my mum and she came with me..
The MW was worried that baby wasn't developing and getting the right nutrients and also from listening to the Hb baby could be in distress. So I was put on trace.. Baby still not moving but it's heartbeat was fine.. I was then given a growth scan.. Placenta and umbilical cord were fine..
Bubs is measuring slightly small.. 35th percentile..
But the consultant came to see me and sent me home..
Got to go for a scan every week to check growth but other then that.. Nothing to worry about.. All the worry for nothing!
The oh has been worrying sick and when I range him and said baby is 15% smaller then the average.. He thought I said centimetres and actually believed we were having a dwarf the numpty.. He also said bubs must be a girl because its small.. He really hasn't got a clue.
Still not much movement...grr this baby
Anyway on a brighter note.. I'm 4/5ths engaged and I managed to stay strong and not find out what flavour we are having

Dysco,. Yay for maternity and for your sweep your bubs should be here soon xx

 

[sophs85]

I haven't taken my vitamins for a month I keep forgetting.


I'm 3/5 engaged!!!!! And my sweep has been booked for the 21st Aargh! X

 

[dyscochick]

Omg it's so exciting! Can't wait for the next December mummy to go, we are on the way ladies! Xx

 

[sophs85]

I have to say, it was a reality check and did put fear into me. Can't believe after all this time we are finally there x

 

[sholou_uk]

Can't believe you lot get a sweep so early, I wouldn't have one until I am 12 days overdue, so 23 December!

 

[Sosie]

Can't believe you get your sweep sophs x

 

[Doob]

Wow what an eventful day!

Sosie I know it's been stressful for you but the idea of your OH did make me smile, bless. I'm glad LO was ok on the scan too fx next time there's a growth spurt.

All you ladies being engaged too!! I have my 36w appointment on Monday so fx I've joined the club.

I think they'll be a December mummy soon it's the first next week so we have to have another early bird somewhere!

Sholou, here they won't give a sweep before 41w either and no to booking any induction before 13d pst dd unless consultant advised xx
