Any news Caroline? Xxx

 

[MrsB2105]

Just leaving the hospital now, they are both ok, they think it's because I got a little dehydrated from vomiting even though I thought I had drank plenty, they have started moving again now though x

 

[naomi88]

Ah that's a relief! Glad all is ok hun. Hope you managed to get some sleep xxx

 

[MrsB2105]

We did eventually, didn't get to bed until 2am, babies know how to scare us don't they.
Midwife was lovely she was giving me loads of advice on c sections, mainly because when she had a feel she said babies hadn't seemed to of moved to where they should be.
How is everyone else feeling? X

Glad all is ok MrsB, they like to keep us on our toes!
I'm feeling fine, baby nice and active and I've got another growth scan on Thursday so looking forward to that xx

 

[MrsB2105]

Ooh only a couple of days away it's great to see them again just a shame that they are too big to see much of lol
My next one is on Tuesday fully decided that depending on positions I'm either asking for an elective section or to have a date booked for induction. My husband and I are on agreement that we want a civilised well planned delivery of these boys so that we are not stuck in triage for 3 hours before being seen to again lol. We only got seen when we did because he complained as the walls are plastered in posters about not ignoring reduced movements and we were just sat there with my babies not moving at all x

 

[naomi88]

Glad the midwife was lovely Caroline - not good about the three hour wait though!!

I've got my first growth scan tomorrow. Bit nervous but hoping all will be ok.

Starting to get a but fed up in work now. Got another 8 weeks left after this week if I still stay as long as planned and wondering how I'm going to cope! Getting a bit achey sitting at my desk and getting really scatty now. Had a row this morning because I accidentally submitted an incomplete form in with some other complete ones I was submitting. You'd have thought I'd committed a really horrendous crime the way the administration manager went off on one. Pregnancy hormones meant that I was torn between crying and telling them where to go but luckily reined myself in.

Heading out for a little walk now to work off my sandwich before doing my next blood sugar test.xxx

 

[MrsB2105]

I must say its impressive that you are working for another 8 weeks, I planned to work until 38weeks if it was just 1 baby but I don't think I would of coped. Also well done for not killing someone , are they diet controlling you or giving you insulin? X

 

[Lander]

I have growth scan on Friday, not really worried, he might be long but not 'big' I think.

Funnily enough I keep getting references to him being early, something I've suspected from the start, I've always thought he'd arrive in August, and right now have the 26th stuck in my head (two days after my mum). Today she tells me the lady who does readings for her said she though he'd be in a bit of a hurry to get here, so, I will be shocked if I do actually make September at this rate lol!

Lxx

 

[MrsB2105]

Well maybe we can both have August babies lol I have the 31st in my head x

 

[scn]

I'll be August too xx

 

[MrsB2105]

We are doing well with our September dates aren't we, at least that is next month though x

 

[naomi88]

I'm controlling it with diet so far. Levels in general have been good so hopefully I won't need to go on insulin


I spoke too soon on the not crying front. Had a second run in with the administration manager and CEO this afternoon about something to do with a setting that was completely out of my control and instead of standing my ground I cried. Feeling very frustrated with myself and about the whole situation.

Hoping I will still be a september mummy as august would be a bit too early for me! Xxx

 

[MrsB2105]

I'm glad it's diet controlled

Aww shame on them for being horrible and rude to you, I would slap them for you but my arms won't reach from here x

 

[naomi88]

Haha thanks Caroline. I've taken some deep breaths and calmed down a bit now but not looking forward to going back in! Roll on mat leave! Xxx

 

[MrsB2105]

Can you not finish a little earlier? X

 

[scn]

Take a few weeks sick leave Naomi x

 

[naomi88]

I think if I go sick now it will automatically start off my maternity leave. I will just have to keep my head down and brave it out I think! Trying really hard to stay til september to avoid having two in childcare next summer.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day! They are unreasonable for the sake of being unreasonable sometimes I think. Just got to grit my teeth and try to avoid public crying! Xxx

 

[MrsB2105]

If it's stress related it shouldn't, September isn't too far away but when they are being awful it can feel like an eternity x

They can't enforce mat leave on you until you have a pregnancy related sickness within 4 weeks of the due date stated on your matb1 form xx take it if you need a rest xx
