I might have asked this b4 jem but have u decided on ur birth plan? Do want epi or water? Mummymidwife is in the august mummy's more she said she hasn't had a good couple of days with the sickness bless her think she's in England ATM visiting friends.
I take my hat off to u kanga don't know how u cope with work then Harry. It makes me want to cry thinking how bad I was at ur stage. 16 weeks that's exciting tho get to hear the heartbeat let us know how it goes xx

 

[jemfox]

I haven't Planned of writing up a birth plan, in my opinion it's never going to go as planned, but so know Ide like gas and air for pain relief but if I need more such as epi I'll take it lol!

What about you?

Can't believe I'm nrly in the 10 week countdown!

Xx

 

[keeptrying14]

Yer pretty much the same as u! I did think of a water birth after watching obem but just don't want to get to the point where it's to late for an epi and I can't cope with the pain! It scares me if I'm honest. I know there is light at end of the tunnel for u! Bet u can't wait. I keep thinking I can't wait to eat a big steak and chips and Stilton sauce!! Red meat makes me gag ATM. Are ur hubby's girls excited? Xx

 

[jemfox]

I also thought about a water Birth but I think I'm Guna end up having hubby in a head lock and can't do The in water haha.
Mmmm I well want a steak! I always used to eat mine rare! And it's all about the Stilton sauce, I know it wouldn't stay down tho haha, just had some cereal and got the sicky feeling already

Yeh they very excited, unfortunately I havent even met them yet due to problems with he's ex making things extremely difficult. Ude think she would get the hint That she can't split us up by now!

Xx

 

[keeptrying14]

[jemfox]

Ude think wouldn't you! Oh well.

Today's been okayish, hubby was off and took me for a drive I'm country and stopped at a pub for a lemonade..... God that makes us sound so old but was nice!

Also had a call from midwife, I've got a.appointment on Tuesday to see consultant, said they worried about me delivering with my hb so low, also my mum popped round Nd stocked me up on high in iron foods bless her.

How are u doing today? Feeling ok?

Xx

 

[keeptrying14]

Yer I'm ok today thanks feeling dizzy today but that's it. Would they do a c section then? Would that be less risky? Be interesting to see what the consultant says xx

 

[keeptrying14]

[jemfox]

But all is well and got them to check again that it is a girl! So I'm going to start buying things now! And I'm going bk to bed for a while now. What u up to today? Xx

It was my 16 week appt, met another midwife as mine is still off sick everything was all fine and heard the heartbeat, and finally hit my maternity exemption card form to send off.

Once we got back my grandma candle around and we went out for lunch at the harvester with my aunts and 2 of my cousins and their kids, so 12 of us in total. Got back home and had a nap for 2.5hrs with Harry and just chilled out for the rest of the day with Harry, DH and my brother with a film.

I just feel completely exhausted and headachey today, thankfully not sicky, but the heartburn started last night I seem to switch from nausea and sickness to heartburn and I don't know which I hate the most lol I can barely keep my eyes open this morning, think I will be going for a nap with Harry again this afternoon.

My birth plan is really restricted because of having a vbac, so no birthing centre or midwife led ward only labour ward, got to be on a drip of antibiotics for strep B, continuous monitoring (hoping to ask for wireless monitoring though), I just hope I get to give birth naturally this time.

Glad your scan went well this morning keeptrying, and well done for not puking lol and yay fir definitely being team pink

Jem the appt is probably to just to discuss your options as low iron can be dangerous for you if you bleed a lot after giving birth so they will probably have extra things in place for just in case. I don't think a c section would lower any complication risks either, as you can still bleeding a lot during and after one of those too. Hopefully the iron tablets really kick in and raise your iron count quickly xx

 

[keeptrying14]

Hey kanga so pleased ur 16 week went well and u managed to get out for lunch sorry ur feeling pants today thankfully I haven't experienced the heartburn yet! Mine just seems to be sickness! Did u decide u wanted a natural birth this time then? If u don't mind me asking how come u had to have a c section last time? Xx

 

[jemfox]

Heya, glad ur appointment went well kanga and got to heartbeat, I wish we could have same midwife each time, mine was off sick on my 24 week appointment, can't be helped tho.

Nice that u went out for lunch with family, shame going out enjoying urself can knock u out for the rest of the day.
I get days where I feel okay to do something then do it then regret it coz done to much, hyperemises is a sneaky Lil fucker like that ain't it.

Keeptrying they manage to see her spine all okay? And defo a girl! Lol I really want to be certain mines a girly.

I have no idea what the consultation appointment will involve. Do u have any ideas kanga? Should I be worried. The iron tablets are making me feel really shitty.

Xx

 

[kanga86]

Yeah I really want to try for a natural birth, I feel so robbed having a c section. I'm the first in my family to have had one and I hate that I needed to have one. I don't regret it, but it was so traumatic and even now when I talk about it I get upset and cry.

A brief run down of my labour - I was 10 days over due and went to my aquanatal class in the morning and felt really tight and uncomfortable after. By 4/5pm I was noticing crampy pains coming and going, but not that painful. They got closer together but not really any more painful until 10pm when they started getting further and further apart. Decided to go to bed at 11:50pm as I was due to go and be induced in the morning.

At midnight my waters went with a massive pop and that is when the 'real' contractions started. Went straight to the hospital and I was eventually examined at 1:30am at 3cm, by 2am I was 5cm and because the monitor kept losing Harry's heartbeat they put a clip on his head. This then kept measuring dips in his heart rate during my contractions. By 3am I was being rushed to theatre for an emergency section under general as his heart rate stayed at 50bpm for 5mins. Once in theatre his heart rate came back up, so they did a spinal instead so I could be awake, as I kept trying to push they checked me again and I was 7-8cm. Harry was born at 3:43am weighing 7lbs 1oz and perfectly healthy and no signs of the distress he experienced.

I think I feel more cheated because I was so close to getting to the pushing stage only to end up with a c section. So I would love to be able to try to do it again and hope I have a baby who copes with the labour xx

HG certainly is sneaky, I just wish we could do some normal things without being made to feel shit after.

I don't think you should worry about the consultant appt they are just covering their backs I think and making sure the midwives are doing their job. Sorry the iron tablets are making you feel crap, I hope they soon start to make you feel better xx

 

[jemfox]

Oh bless you, you're labour with Harry sounds terrifying! can't imagine the worry u must have felt.
Was quite a quick labour tho? I don't know what the norm is lol.

I went to tesco by myself yesterday and it really freaked me out, since being poorly I haven't gone out by myself much and it's taken its toll lol.

Ok guessing the appointments just procedure. I'm just happy baby's ok, although they said she's taking everything from me and leaving me suffering buy idr choose that any day over them telling me something was wrong with Her!!

Xx

 

[kanga86]

Yeah it was a pretty quick labour think that is why harry got distressed. I was literally having contractions back to back the whole time, with no chance to talk or anything inbetween. Im jealous when I watch obem and see yham laughing and chatting between contractions, but then it may nou have been has quick. All my family have been quick, my sister was induced and her labour was only 6-7hours from first contractions.

Baby will be taking everything good that she needs and that is why your end up feeling so rough xx

 

[keeptrying14]

Yes all was good with her spine literally in there for 5 mins! So they seemed happy with it! Sounds like a traumatic birth. Hoping it's more smooth this time around. Jemfox my doc keeps saying that to me ur baby will always take from you first! We r going to look at prams tomo so hoping that will put me in the baby mood! They say it's meant to be nice weather for the weekend xx

 

[kanga86]

Happy pram shopping tomorrow keeptrying. I keep looking at doubles and assessing whether I will need it or not.

Still feeling pretty rubbish today, heartburn being awful and keep going dizzy and seeing sparkles not nice. My fault for saying I was feeling better lol wish I was tucked up in bed but out going down the in laws for dinner! They normally come to us but fil had an op on Monday so can't drive so stuck going there.

How has everyone been today? xx
