Gosh ladies what a morning.

. OH took Ivy to nursery this morning since he's on late shift then called into his mums on the way back. So got a call from him saying that my father in law was maybe having a heart attack and was asking for me, OH had called an ambulance and to come round. Who knew 32 week pregnant women could run? Pretty much run around the corner and the ambulance was already there when I got there thank god. They think it is his angina becoming unstable and maybe not an actual heart attack but they took him to hospital in the end. First time I've ever seen him cry and it made me cry too honestly what a morning.

What a morning indeed!!! I hope he feels better soon xx

Oh shan how awful. Hope he's okay!

I rang my GP today and they're not giving me an option but to sign me off. So I'm signed off now, no more work. I couldn't sleep last night was just panicking about how much I need to do at work and how the new lady isn't ready to be on her own yet. I dunno if I can cope!! X

 

[PeanutButter]

Oh shan, how scary! Hopes he's ok. Xx

Jem it's good your signed off now. Get as much rest as you can

I'm on holiday atm, and my spd is fking awful, this morning I limped to the toilet. I forgot to bring a pillow for in my legs and the difference in makes is unreal. Baby isn't moving either he's usually crazy!! But had 2 movements from him today, barely any yday.. If it carry's on will have to be a trip to the hospital. Fun holiday :/

Do you remember the times when your work didn't give a shit about how unwell you were and how you needed the help? Well it is your turn now not to give a damn xx

Just go now PB...get baby checked then buy a cheap supermarket pillow x

 

[JemRose]

KHTW you're right, I just struggle to switch my mind off haha. It felt like a big desicion just to get myself signed off as I hate letting people down! But my body is screaming out to stop!

PB I have such sympathy with you. Def go buy another pillow and go to the nearest hospital just get checked out xx

Couldn't agree more with this Jem! xx

 

[Shanivy]

Thanks everyone me too. Can't get through yet to mils phone.

Jem happy days and fuck work. Put you through hell for wanting moved downstairs remember...and you had this all along xx

PB def send OH out for a pillow, he'll find one somewhere. I'd need it too! Same as everyone else about baby. If you're worried about movement get checked, I'm sure it was you who had lots of reduced movements with dd wasn't it? So you know the drill we don't need to tell you. I hope you get a decent holiday hun xx

 

[Shanivy]

Well my boobs are now leaking. Fun. Never had this with DD.

Bump feels very heavy near the bottom. Sitting at work today was quite uncomfortable and I had to get up and move frequantly... only just over 2 weeks to go... hurry up mat leave! x

I've had no leaking this time really it's weird! With dd I used breast pads by now.

Bump very uncomfortable here at the bottom too, I can sympathise. I don't know how you're sitting at work like that, I'd have sixty pillow around me lol. But roll on that maternity!!! Xx

 

[malagueta]

Wow shan, what a panic. Hope your FIL is feeling better soon.

Jem, if I were you I wouldn't be giving work a second thought! Just try and relax and enjoy what's left of your pregnancy (I know it night be hard with your SPD too).

PB, get checked out if you need. And a pillow is a lifesaver these days.

Touch wood, I've had no leaking yet. I bought breast pads ages ago just in case but they've so far remained in the box.

I had a bit of a panic last night that today I'm 31 weeks, so I've decided to start working out what I need for my hospital bag and to start packing it as I accumulate bits and pieces. It's all getting so close!

 

[Shanivy]

My father in law has "maybe had a mild heart attack" according to my mil. Dont really know what that means to be honest but scary. And I don't know much about heart attacks or that. He's up talking and everything, and being kept for observation now. Trying not to stress but he's still waiting for his Alzheimer's referrals and hernia op and now this. He has more than one stent too, though I can't remember how many. And he's actually Ivy's best friend so I don't know what I'd do. I know this isn't at all baby related so forgive me for going on

Mala I have my hospital bag packed with baby's stuff but not a thing for me. Need to do some serious maternity shopping soon. Can't decide which pads to buy though. Sounds ridiculous but it's strange the little things I stress over xx

 

[JaneyJan]

Woah hello girls. Shan, how awful for you all and your FIL. I hope he gets better and gets everything sorted out while in hospital. Poor man! I think it'll take a day or so with blood tests to work out if he's actually had what's classed as a heart attack.

I keep expecting leaking boobs but haven't got any yet. I don't have any line on my bump yet either. But I think it's probably time to buy some breast pads just in case. Doing a load of Amazon shopping today.

Thanks for the help regarding physio. I did try to ring my community midwives but no one has been picking up, so I made a private appointment to see a physio on Friday (£35 and I don't even care if they can make it any better). Thinking of trying an osteopath if that doesn't help much. My back pain is alright in the mornings but by evening/night it's unbelievable. Can't sit, stand or lie down without needing to switch it up after about 10-15 minutes. I'm going back to work tomorrow and still have 3 weeks left at work. I'm just going to have to keep moving around and trying to find comfortable positions whilst at work.

Aaaahhhh I can't wait to start packing my hospital bags! Waiting for a big parcel of stuff from my mum from south Korea and then I'll be doing the same. I'm getting super excited but just want work to be over...

 

[Shanivy]

JaneyJan I honestly thought it would just be angina. I shouldn't go on here but I get so frustrated when I dont know things. They hooked him up here at the house and said it looked okay, his bp was good too, gave him entinox. But took him in because of the stents, how bad his pain was, and how it wasn't like anything he'd had before "to be safe" So I don't know.

As to your back, is there any way getting signed off until maternity is an option for you? Fx the physio helps. They'll probably give you exercises to do and maybe a support belt. xx

 

[KHTW]

Shan at least they took your fil to hospital where he can get a proper examination... poor guy x

Janey shoot that sounds painful , hopefully physio helps. It looks like we all are having a bit of tough time lately x

 

[KHTW]

I was just sat on the rug playing blocks with DD when suddenly I felt like I was going to faint!!! For a minute there i was in panic as to what is going to happend if i do faint?!?!? I was just about to text my best friend/neighbour but I felt it easing off. Fudge! That was scary x

Oh blimey. If you're on your own, maybe call your neighbour anyway to sit with you for a bit. Probably low bp as quite expected at this stage.

Hope you're feeling better now.

Shan, I think, as a place for us to all support each other, you should feel free to talk through what is happening with your father in law as much as you need to.

 

[KHTW]

Shan, what GG said!

Ps. Happy 33 weeks GG and Shan!!
