Too right they are!! My cannula was left in overnight, plus a catheter, which I thought might be nice almost- not having to get up for a wee and all, but actually made me constantly feel like I needed a wee so I asked the midwife twice to check it was working and not blocked or something! She said they do just make most people feel like that...
It is VERY unusual to have your waters break and not go into labour naturally within 24 hours first timers, fear not! I was unlucky all round with my delivery.
Looking forward to the Scanathon tomorrow, Won't be able to check in as often as I'd like as I'm staying with my dad whilst new kitchen floor palaver ensues at home- only going home mon, wwhen it will hopefully be finished or nearly finished...
Now, all those with DC already. What has gone wrong with DD's sleep?!?! We have had the same routine at the same time since she was 4 weeks old. For the last 4 or 5 months, it has been the same- bath, teeth, milk (boob or beaker recently), story, bed. She goes down wide awake, and lies there quietly until she falls asleep, which can take up to an hour. Actually, thats past tense. Now, we do the routine, everything seems fine, then I put her down and she sobs. She has NEVER been left to cry, or cried herself to sleep. I leave her as she whinges and cries on and off, and see if she settles for about half an hour or so, even up to 50 min. She never settles. Have resorted to going back up, letting her lie on my chest while I sit in the chair, try again, etc etc, Taking me up to 90 min to put her down (not counting the bath etc). Why's this happening?! She then gets up between midnight and 1 and repeats the whole process, her longest attempt being 3 hours of it... She doesn't want milk, calpol makes no differnce, and anyway, she goes back to sleep on my chest, but wakes the second she's put down... Any clues/ advice for a very tired pregnant person?!?! My dad thinks she Knows Something's Up...
