You and DS don't deserve all of this Ducky. It does seem unfair. What did the Dr say when he/she called back? And how is DS?

Cupcake92 · 25/01/2015 04:51

How is he now ducky?
And ur bound to feel upset! Ur allowed to be. The first year is very very hard. But carry in what ur doing n Ds will get better Flowers my DS was in ans out of hospital for a good 6 months and I was so worried and just exhausted. He was constantly sick and had really bad nappies all the time... Turns out he had the Rotavirus! Even tho he had the vaccinations for it! He still got it! But DS will get better Ducky ur doing a really great job Flowers

Just waiting for a call back from the dr at the hosp Sad he wouldn't settle, he was screaming unless he had skin to skin. Then I managed to get him to sleep and he woke up for a feed and then threw the whole thing up Sad

I know this sounds selfish but I just feel upset, I went through all that with dd and now I feel like I'm having bad luck again Hmm (and I feel bad for saying that too because i am so so lucky to have ds Confused) I'm terrified of anything happening to him Sad

LuluJakey1 · 24/01/2015 23:10

We ended up trying to work them out together Cupcake ! They are really hard. Grin I can do the Maths ones, we can both do the word ones and DH can do the sequence, pattern ones. And there were some neither of us could do- the code type ones.

So glad he is home Ducky. Hope you have a good night.

I am off to bed.

Cupcake92 · 24/01/2015 22:56

Hi everyone

Just letting you know we have been discharged Smile just keeping an eye on his feeding as he hasn't eaten much. Am giving him until around midnight and then will have to call the hosp and let them know Hmm

Sorry about the af's Confused

Sorry not to check in properly but am so exhausted my brain is fried.

Am going to have a small glass of wine then go to bed.

LuluJakey1 · 24/01/2015 21:09

I am so in his good books at the moment! I have loads of browniepoints- he still thinks giving birth was just amazing, DS is the bees knees, sex is back on the agenda, I am back to my usual easy going self and I am cooking a proper dinner! What more could he want?

We are just going to play a MENSA test game to see who scores best. I will beat him......or should I let him win. Grin

Cupcake92 · 24/01/2015 20:46

AF buddies Iam!! This means we have to be BFP buddies next time!! :)

Omg Lulu can I come to urs for dinner please?!! That sounds so yummy!!

AF must be doing the rounds. Sorry Cupcake and Iam.

Ducky, how is your little boy? I hope he is feeling better.

I have cooked DH a roast dinner tonight- chicken wrapped with bacon and herbs, little sausages, stuffing, roast potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower and mangetout and gravy. He was in seventh heaven. He has taken DS for a walk to walk it off. Smile Both well wrapped up.

iamdivergent · 24/01/2015 19:24

Have you got to prepare for hypnobirthing in advance? I reeeeeeally want a water birth (although a bit worried that I'd poo and be sitting in a bath with bits of poo floating about! Blush )

Wow iam, it sounds like two really quick and easy births! I'm actually really looking forward to it now. DP has been reading the Expectant Dad book I got him and has already decided what pain relief I'm having Hmm tens machine and gas and air. Pah! He knows how badly I deal with pain as well! I'd quite like to try pethidine but I hate throwing up and worried it will make me.
Hope the duckling's doing ok Ducky. Been thinking of you both Flowers
We've been painting the nursery the last couple of days. It's a calming pale green and will have cream/white furniture Smile

iamdivergent · 24/01/2015 17:25

How is the little man ducky Thanks

iamdivergent · 24/01/2015 17:25

Yep you'll be surprised at how you manage Steph. You just get on with it, you may feel it's never going to end but it's amazing how you do start to forget once baby is on your chest.

With DD1 I got up and my waters had been trickling after I went to the loo, phoned the midwife who came our amazing nd strapped me to a monitor, she said yep you're def in labour let's examine you...wander off with her to the bedroom and as we're chatting she reckons I'm about 2-3cm; she has a rummage and comes out tells me to phone dh as I was 7cm haha! DD1 arrived about 2 hrs after we went to hospital with just gas and air Smile

dd2 - woke up sore, felt sick and actually was, phoned hospital who sent out the midwife. I was pacing with dh when my waters went in a gush, midwife arrives and examined me - I was ready to push! 5 mins after she walked in the door I had delivered dd2 on my living room floor Grin no pain relief at all! Mental Smile

LuluJakey1 · 24/01/2015 10:24

Steph, I was really worried about giving birth. Once I realised I was in labour I think I must already have been a few cm by then and it just sort of takes over and you get on with it. And whilst I would not want to do it very often, it does fade quickly and you start to feel like yourself after about 2 weeks- or I did. The midwife will keep you calm.

I thought it was like OfSTED. You know there will be pain, you do what you can to prepare, you dread it and once they arrive it goes over and you get on with it and there is huge relief at the end of it.

Ducky23 · 24/01/2015 09:06

He's been on it over 24 hours tori but is only on a small bit now, but they said he was doing good and took him off it yesterday and his levels dropped down to 70 something after a few mins Confused

How lovely lulu Smile and well done for the running! I started to excercise again but it's all gone a bit pear shaped with ds being ill!

Steph the delivery will be fine. If you are worried have you thought about hypno birthing? That might help relax you Smile

Cupcake they have reduced his oxygen further, am just waiting for consultant to see what he thinks. I dot want to take him home if his oxygen levels go down like they did before Confused
