GG, test eating is an essential part of the job! I'm jealous.

Oh wow, 100 days left. I feel so unprepared. I need to get a list together this weekend of things we still need to get (it's going to be a lot).

Hell yeah it is. Just had a couple in for the 4th week in a row for the same steak meal, lol. They just told the whole pub how good they are, lol. Love it. Xx

Anyone else's tiredness kicking in again? Feels like first tri again so exhausted and getting quite emotional all the time. Not getting stressy but just upset over nothing!
OH walked in the room the other night and I just burst into tears, full on sobbing and he thought something terrible had happened and there was honestly nothing wrong with me!

 

[JemRose]

My sister has been taken to hospital because she felt a snap yesterday (what she said she felt when her waters broke last time) and since then has been leaking fluid and having to wear pads and tonight passed mucus and blood :/ she is 23 weeks so baby isn't viable is it :/ x

 

[Shanivy]

Jem ditto on the tiredness! I'm having to force myself to do anything right nowxx

 

[Shanivy]

Thread just updated as a posted. Im so sorry about your sister hun, I hope they can do something, anything at all for her. If its pre term labour even to postpone it as long as possible.. xxxx

 

[JemRose]

Must be tri 3 creeping up on us lol.

Yeah I hope so too, but doesn't sound too good atm x

 

[malagueta]

Oh Jem, sorry to hear about your sister. She's having a tough time of it lately. I hope they can help. I'm not sure how accurate the 24 week viability thing is but I did read a story the other day about a baby born at 23 weeks who survived. X

 

[_GG_]

Oh Jem, I'm so sorry about your sister. There have now been many babies born at 23 weeks who have survived. I only wrote on here last week I think, how amazing it was seeing the videos of 23 week old babies and how amazing they looked knowing a baby was like that inside me.

It does sound very scary for your sister and the family but trust that she's in the right place and the very best care will be taken of her and baby. Xxx

 

[JemRose]

They have examined her and are sending her home. Can't see how that makes any sense but there you go x

I highly doubt they would send her home if she or baby were at risk so try to take some comfort in that Jem. Hope it's just the mucus plug playing up and all goes back to normal. Xx

This ago This just mean. Up at 2.30 with the worst heartburn I've ever known...made me sick a little in my mouth. Been sat on sofa for an hour, afraid to go back to bed in case lying down kicks it off again. I've had Gavsicon but bloody run out now.

Really wanted a good sleep tonight. Mickey and a liveries horse are being shot today (sounds horrific but it is by far the best method for the horse, I've seen enough of this and injection to know shooting truly instant and the horses only know they have their head in a bucket of food.)
But, it never gets any easier and I am so worried about Dan. He loves the bones of Mickey. If you're not horsey, it's impossible to understand but they connect with humans in a way that no other animals can, not even cats and dogs. It's a truly soul deep connection when it's there, it's why they are used as therapy animals so successfully. It's why I can walk into the field pregnant and all of them are extra gentle around me. Mickey showed Dan this side of horses. They have a really strong bond and I am so sad for Dan. He's been with me for a few going now as it's part of running a livery for older and injured horses and was floored by how affected I was when my old mare was put to sleep 4 years ago, but now it's him who will feel that and I am dreading watching him go through it. These horses are our family, especially Mickey.

Please god let me sleep some more. This past 12 hours I have been so fucking uncomfortable. No position seems to help. Baby kicks the living shit out of me in most positions. Is this a pre warning of what's to come in tri 3?

I will be on the phone to the midwife first thing for a gaviscon big bottle prescription.

Jem, hope your sister has settled back at home. Such a worry for you all.

Lol...our list consists of...

Everything except the cot.

Yep...we have fuck all else and I really am not worried at the moment. I think week 30 ish we will really start but for now, we're just keeping our eyes out for good deals.

Morning ladies

Jem I hope your sister is okay this morning. She must be so worried. What did the Dr's think it was? The fact they've sent her home is hopefully a positive thing

Well I'm shattered, DD woke herself up talking in her sleep 3 times last night, the last time at 4am and I couldn't get back to sleep afterwards. I'm supposed to be organising our VAT return today while DD is at nursery but I can tell you now that's not happening. I will be on the couch with a cuppa and crumpets. How bads that literally just put my fork down from breakfast and my 10am snack is all planned haha

Its a beautiful morning here and I'd love a walk but I can't see it happening

I hope your heartburn settles GG but in honesty I imagine it won't, if it gets much worse ask for something stronger

 

[Fela]

I’m so sorry you’ve had a bad night GG,perhaps you had Mickey in the back of your mind to some extent and then to have discomfort in addition, sounds like a good combination for insomnia. Hope you got some sleep and hope all goes well today I can’t imaginewhat it’s like.

Jenny I’m sorry to hear about your sister, I hope being sent home from hospital is a good sign.

Yesterday I met a friend at work for a coffee, she’s much older than me and has three grown up sons, I told her I planned to finish work on 22 June (37+4) and she was really surprised and said she thought that was very late... so I was curious, when are you lot finishing work? Is 37 weeks a bit late? I have to tell them 28 days before when I plan to start my leave so I can’t change it shot notice (unless the baby is born at 37 weeks I guess!)

 

[malagueta]

Good luck for today GG. It can't be easy for you both having to say goodbye to Mickey. And definitely get the Gaviscon on prescription.

Jem I hope your sister is doing better today.

I've woken up with a stinking cold and sore throat. I want this winter to end!

 

[Shepherdess]

Depending what kind of job you have fela I'd day 37 weeks is pretty normal timing. Last pregnancy I finished at 37 weeks buy If it hadn't been lambing time I'd have gone to 39

 

[PeanutButter]

Jem, sorry to hear about your sister. Theyve sent her home.thoigh which has to be a good sign.
GG, sorry you have to go through that. Best of luck sending hugs xx
As for tiredness yes, its hit me badly again!! Never felt this bad with dd.
Fela, i think thats normal. Id probably work to that time if i was working. X

Morning,

Picked up my MAT B1 form yesterday from the doctors, however i have noticed it hasnt been signed, it does have the doctors stamp on it thou, will my HR refuse this until it is signed?

My midwife only works at my doctors surgery on a Wednesday and I wanted to submit it to HR soon!!

Arghhhh panic!!!

 

[PeanutButter]

Im unsure sarah, you can just walk in to drs and ask reception if yoi can have a quick chat with midwife tho.
My midwife said that was fine, i just notived you live in staffordshire to.. So i assume its the same rules?
